Flowers and chocolates are great, but some people take “I love you” to strange new levels. We go through some of the weirdest, most over-the-top, and downright bizarre ways people express their affection. For example, Wippa thinks his love language is complaining. We’ve had enough of that mate.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is the City with Katelyn ki podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm still quite proud of this story because you've met
my eldest son. His name is Houston.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
He is well, what a lovely style of a young man.
He's done very well.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
He's first born, Kate, so he's sensitive. He's reserved, not
like second born.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
He's lunatics, a wrecking ball, the.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Louse, Lenny soho he is. He's even to the point
he doesn't like the attention that you know, he was
even asked in his footy team if he wanted to
be part of the leadership group. He doesn't want to
be part of the leadership group because then the focus
is on him. He's one of these kids. A night
he started a new school and I cannot believe he's
done this, and he's you know, it's taken him a
(00:48):
while to get to find friends. And it's hard for
any kid who moves from school to school to find
new friends, and.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
In that age group, because how old is he now? Fourteen?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Fourteen? Yeah, it's tricky and it's not could age. So
he said, can I catch the bus home with a
few guys that I've met at school? And I said,
you know what that was the best for me. I
used to love catching the bus home because you could
muck around with your mates and you can have a
good time. So I said, yeah for sure. Halfway through
the trip on the way home, one kid goes, oh,
(01:20):
we've actually worked it out. No one's done it yet,
but we think that if someone got off at this
stop that's coming up, you could if you sprinted fast enough,
you could get to the next stop.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh, great challenge.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Huan's put his hue, he's put his hand.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Up and he's really thrown himself in the deep end
the bus and now he's going to win impressed and
win everyone over with the race.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is huge, Kate, because if he doesn't make it
to the next stop, it could be a disaster. Now
let me tell you this here. He went to an
all boys school before. Now he's at a co ed's
all so it has been a bit of a change
for him as well. And there's so there's girls on
the bus.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
His mate Hugo got his phone out and said, I'll
film this.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Are you sure do you want to do this?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I know hod He checked out the track like it
is yield like, did he know whether he'd have to
jump over a fence or across the road.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He's got a pretty good idea. Now this goes for
a minute. Are you ready for this? Okay, okay, Hughey
getting off at the first stop.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't even know where to go.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The eyes or not to go around here. They come on, well,
they're really supportive. They want him to win.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The whole buses in on it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
He did and got a standing ovation on the bus.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Make the bus and he must be bugged. But also
the girls been throwing themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
The girls was the clapping and smiling, and it was
the greatest day of his life, said and I said him,
that is so awesome. I'm going to catch the bus
home with you and.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Sits in with her with Caie podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I want to talk about ghosties, ghosts. The toilet.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
What is that worst is that somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, let's Tommy's shaking his head. Let's not do this.
But I have a feeling I'm going to do it anyway.
And I think it's when you flush, and well, when
somebody told me when they flush and you go, oh,
was it ever even here?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's when somebody leaves a gift in your toilet o cape.
So someone uses your house and they leave it nine
and they don't get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But what has that got to do with a ghost?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
The ghosting is.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
When you go to the toilet and takes itself around
the spend and you don't have to flush, and you
stitt it up and go where that goes?
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Is that is that.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We're not going to look for the meaning of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And let's not google googling ghosts and ghosting.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, there's so many versions of ghosts, but I'm
going to go pretty old school here and just your
regular Like I was going to say real life ghost
but that would be wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Just a ghosts, okay, standard ghosts.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Sometimes talking to ghosts can help, and sometimes people have
the skill or the talent of being able to connect
with the afterlife.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Just I find it so humorous when you're in a
room with a media and they go, oh, your grandma's
rocked up, and you look around the room and you
go where and they go, She's standing right behind you
and she said that that day that she dropped you
off at footy training, she forgot to pick you up,
(05:17):
and she's sorry, my gosh, I remember.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That Okay, so we've got a non believer in the room. Okay,
I think it's very clear that you don't believe in
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Tom. I don't know whether you're laughing at Kate or
you're just googled ghosty. No, I can't say.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Guys, so do you keep moving back?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay? Far more my search history shortly than me. No,
give us a call. Thirteen twenty four ten. I mean,
maybe you've used connecting with what is that the number?
Why are you laughing at me?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Think ghost?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, Gosh, give us a call because I have a
story I'm going to share with you. Thirteen twenty four ten.
If you've connected with the afterlife, has it been helpful?
I mean, there are psychologists out there that say that
sometimes if it's if you've lost a loved one and
you're finding the grieving process incredibly difficult, that somehow connecting
(06:07):
with those people through a medium can be quite helpful.
But it needs to be restricted to a certain period
of time. You can't try and have this person in
your life forever.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Uncle Gary is still here.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It would be great to have a ghost that's with
you the whole time. Kate and gives you advice I think.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You need to be of privacy every now and then. Like,
imagine if you did everything in your day all like say,
seven days out of a week. That is a week.
But imagine if they were there all the time'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Like just hey, by the way, kettle's done finished, you
know that. Go get yourself to set your tea.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You don't need to gohot to you.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't think you need to go.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
If you you might be in another room.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You want you drink your tea. Maybe there are some
things you need to have privacy. You want to drink
your tea.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Just spoke to another ghost. Someone's steal in your car
right now, Thanks Dave, Thanks go check it out.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But where's the ghost in the bed with you or
out in the driveway watching your car all night?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
They see everything, Kate, This is the thing they be everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I went to a cafe in Queensland once upon a time.
This is very years ago, and I was with my
boyfriend and we're at the coffee club. He always took
me to all of the best places. And I was
having a latte in one of those hideous triangular vessels
(07:29):
that they tend to serve so tall that you tend
to knock them over, and you hate that you've ordered
a latte because it's so milky and got to do.
I'm sitting there and as I did a little bit,
I was crying into my late because it was just
not a great day. You're looking at me. People listening.
(07:53):
They know they've cried into their latte, They've sat a
dinner table with their partner and had an all awful
dinner because they you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Just not a good advertisement for coffee club?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Is it really?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You can't go?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
They did? They do a meaning for carture. But what
I'm saying is it wasn't the coffee club that was
the issue was probably the person I was sitting at
the table with. So I'm crying into my latte, trying
not to cry, and he I don't even know what
he was doing. It probably thought it was great. It
was the best day of his life. Crying my coffee.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Again, I'll repeat the question, what's this got to do
with the ghost?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, a woman, right, a woman got up, and she
obviously went and ordered her sandwich or something crosser, and
and then she came back. Okay, how did it go?
And then right, I go to the toilet. I get
up from the toilet to go and dry my eyes
or something and reassess life. I ghost ghost him anyway
(08:53):
with the ghost. So then I go into the toilet
and this woman who was sitting also sitting in the
in the coffee club, follows me into the toilet, and
she says to me, are you okay? And I said, well,
does that bloody well looks like I'm okay. No, I
didn't say that. I said, yeah, like what I did,
just what you did. Say, Yeah, just fake, fake it
till your mate. She said, you'll be okay. She said.
(09:18):
I know there's obviously something distressing going on. This whole
situation doesn't look great, she said, but you'll be okay
because she's one of those medium people. And she could
see my guardian angel standing at the table with me
watching while I cried.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Laughing at you, laughing at you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
She said, she could see someone.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
When you walk back to the table, did you sort
of look around a bit and go, I can't believe
someone's there with me?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Had he gone by then to the break up boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Oh no, he had. She had it many more days
of hell to put me.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Through fits with her Withie podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I want to hear from you if you've got like
a really cutesy thing that you do in your relationship
just to show how you love each other. And it's
just a special thing that the two of you get.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Just between the two of you. Yeah, nobody else knows
that means.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, maybe people do and they envy you from afar, like,
oh my god, they have such cute gestures of love.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
This.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I want to say that this is cute because I
do love love, and it is the week of the
Singles Ball and all of that stuff. But this cutesy
sign of love in this relationship could also be the
most annoying thing in the world. There's a woman. She's
married to Clifford the Big Red Dog, and they have
(10:44):
this thing where he I mean, they've been married for
forty one years, so they are doing they're doing okay.
I know, you spoke to someone on air this morning
you'd been married for twenty and you thought that was impressive.
Forty one years. Apparently she has made his lunch for
work every day of that forty one years. It's amazing
and it's still here to deal the tale. And one
(11:08):
day she took a bite of his little sandwich that
she made and popped in in his lunch box, and
he toddled off to work. And then he got to
work and he thought someone had had a little nibble
at his lunch.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Little mouse in the house.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
He's like, somebody's eating my lunch. And at the end
of the day, she said, no, telling that was me.
I was just so peckish when I was cooking your lunch.
And I do remember that one day you said to me,
lunch shared with you. My darling, whatever her name is,
Tracy is always the best lunch of all. So she
now does that every day, so that in some ways
(11:42):
it feels as though they've shared lunch, even though she's
at home and he's at work. And it's just so cute.
Thirteen twenty four ten. If you've got something like that,
it's come around the house. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Connection of the lips as well, wasn't it. It's like
a kiss. She's touched the sandwich last, and then I'm
going to bite into it next.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
When I sat down my lunch break fits and I
open my food for the day and I look in
and someone's taken a bite out of a sandwich. I reckon,
I'm that wrapped half. If it's missing, miss has taken
my bite.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I think it's cute to start with, but don't you
think that on some days you sit down for your
lunch and somebody's taken a bite out of your egan lettuce?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
How annoying?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Come on, just let me have my lunch. I'm a
grown er.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, I can have my lunch without you having the
first bite.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But also if she's making it, I think she deserves
to be able to have a bite. I mean, as
somebody who's had their lunch made for them for work
for forty one years, maybe give us a call if
you've had that, if you never made your own lunch,
if you dare to go, I still have.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I mean, this is off, it's a little bit different,
but I've still got BJ in my phone as BJ
too Hotty, which was when I first started courting her
coat A friend of hers came over and said, do
you want her number? And I said I would love
her number, and she said give me your phone, and
(13:11):
her friend put BJ's number in my phone as BJ
too Hotty.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That is That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
That is so nice, beautiful man.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I haven't changed it since, mainly because I'm very lazy.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But you don't know how to do it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No, I've frigging I've got a BlackBerry and I don't
know how to shaves in Castle Ray. Hello, okay, guy,
what do you do for your husband? That's a bit
of a sign of love.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Every day with them he has the twelve years and
every day, depending on my mood, I'll google I love
your poems, I appreciate your poems and screezehot it and then.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So nice.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
What time of day does he get them? Like when
he arrives at well many of them.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Oh, he works away, so he doesn't get home until Saturdays.
So many of the morning or asked to know, and
I do it. So I do that.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But I'll send a song through quite often you've recorded. No,
I'll send a song that I really like, that's a
love song, and I just mess it to the song
to her Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Tom also sends through screenshots, but there are a lot
different to that.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's not really a sign of love. Tom, you actually
call that a poem? Can can I speak on behalf
of tom Cave?
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You do well. I'd like to say a couple of
examples of what Tom does. For one, he bought a
plastic container to housing his banana in so it wouldn't
get squashed when she took her to work.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That must have been very uncomfortable for it.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
A good idea, that's a good gift. And then he
bought a little deck chair, a little deck chair for
her mobile phone to sit on some sort of a
resting place.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's really that's really thoughtful. I want to go back
to the thing about the I know we're still talking
about love songs and luckily gestures, but when you the
sending of songs, and I don't know if anyone else
has had this experience, your idea of what the song
means can sometimes has the song ever caused an argument
(15:07):
because you know, you might send through like a Taylor
Swift song, I don't know, And then you expect the
other person to listen to the song and they listen
to the lyrics. And then if they bother to listen
I don't often listen to those things, they say, how
did you listen to it? You never do, and then
you you start to break it down, and then an
(15:29):
argument ensues because it's like which one am I or
would you think that I'm what have I ever done that?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
That?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Which character am I?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
In the song? The song is called have I told
you lately that I love you? Just accept it.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We've got a ron on the line from Will Aaron.
What does your partner do to tell you that they
love you?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Well, she always dances for me on the ring camera,
so you always get the notifications coming up that you
know something's gone past your ring camera, that your front all,
but you know it's just a notification and then comes
to smoke. Oh, and you look at the notification and
she's done, and she she's dancing.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
For me, twirking that kind of stuff, Aaron.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Or it's more like Napoleon dynamite, just like we need
crazy dancers all the time.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Of human And he sounds really invigorated by calling and
talking about his partner.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
That is nice to the single John, Johnny Oyster Bay,
how does your wife say I love you?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
She makes my lunch every single day for the last
forty three years, John.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And what do you get? What's your standard lunch?
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Could be hen cheese and tomato. It could be a
magical rap with you know, pendory chicken.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
John, do you get a message in there?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
At all, John, No, I just know what.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
The message is.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
John.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
What's your wife's name?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Ricky?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Vicky? And John? What a beautiful, beautiful romance? Tell me.
I don't know if I've got nothing in the tank
for those two, but what a great story that is. Yeah,
isn't that a beautiful story.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
It's a bit of a twist for you, John, Hang on, Jo,
I don't understand why she won't make more lunch for
golf on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
A good question.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I don't know, John, it's a fair question.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
She just wants to make sure you haven't had your
hands cut.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Off if you're able to make lunch for John on
a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I actually like it. I poo poo these ideas, but
I think it's lovely.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's great, John, Meghan and Harrington Park, how do you
say I love your eggs?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Well, my husband and I have been married seventeen years.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
On Saturday, kids and I put a little barbecue love
heart on his breakfast plate when I make breakfast for him.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
What's he having of the morning? Is it eggs and
bacon or what he's having?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Eggs on a muffin with a little sprinkle?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yes, you, Megan, do you know what I do too.
There's like a stick on pad that goes inside the
inside the pantry door and you write down if you
finish something, you write it down so that we know
to get it from the shops. Sometimes I just add
to the list sweet kisses.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh, I know that is cute, Yes, because that is
a credit to you. You've got you've got four kids,
the hot chocolate. I bet they haven't always been my parts.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I bet sometimes it's just an unfortunate that bum bum
the cleaner comes with her lips looking around the house
like Allison from Regentville. Alison, your hobby is what does
(18:48):
he do that's really cute?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And weed?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
He on our first wedding anniversary he put our first
three wedding songs on a CD, and every year since
then he adds a song to the CD on our anniversary, Alison.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Give us some of the songs over the years that
have really hit a chord with you.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh We've got without your Love, Jimmy Barn unchained melody.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, there's do you do a slow dance with it,
Alison around the living room?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Well, we used to do.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I lost my husband ten years ago, but yeah, right
up until he passed, he did that every year.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
What a beautiful tradition. And now you have those wonderful
songs together forever.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, and they mean so much.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's so nice to hear thank you for calling.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh that was a beautiful call.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I didn't know he was gone.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
But they're those sort of things where you can really
build the love forever because Allison has those fond memories
and has that fond connection with the music and that
lives on.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah. Absolutely.

Is the City with Katelyn ki podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I'm still quite proud of this story because you've met
my eldest son. His name is Houston.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
He is well, what a lovely style of a young man.
He's done very well.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
He's first born, Kate, so he's sensitive. He's reserved, not
like second born.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
He's lunatics, a wrecking ball, the.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Louse, Lenny soho he is. He's even to the point
he doesn't like the attention that you know, he was
even asked in his footy team if he wanted to
be part of the leadership group. He doesn't want to
be part of the leadership group because then the focus
is on him. He's one of these kids. A night
he started a new school and I cannot believe he's
done this, and he's you know, it's taken him a
(00:48):
while to get to find friends. And it's hard for
any kid who moves from school to school to find
new friends, and.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
In that age group, because how old is he now? Fourteen?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Fourteen? Yeah, it's tricky and it's not could age. So
he said, can I catch the bus home with a
few guys that I've met at school? And I said,
you know what that was the best for me. I
used to love catching the bus home because you could
muck around with your mates and you can have a
good time. So I said, yeah for sure. Halfway through
the trip on the way home, one kid goes, oh,
(01:20):
we've actually worked it out. No one's done it yet,
but we think that if someone got off at this
stop that's coming up, you could if you sprinted fast enough,
you could get to the next stop.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh, great challenge.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Huan's put his hue, he's put his hand.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Up and he's really thrown himself in the deep end
the bus and now he's going to win impressed and
win everyone over with the race.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
This is huge, Kate, because if he doesn't make it
to the next stop, it could be a disaster. Now
let me tell you this here. He went to an
all boys school before. Now he's at a co ed's
all so it has been a bit of a change
for him as well. And there's so there's girls on
the bus.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
His mate Hugo got his phone out and said, I'll
film this.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Are you sure do you want to do this?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I know hod He checked out the track like it
is yield like, did he know whether he'd have to
jump over a fence or across the road.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
He's got a pretty good idea. Now this goes for
a minute. Are you ready for this? Okay, okay, Hughey
getting off at the first stop.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't even know where to go.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The eyes or not to go around here. They come on, well,
they're really supportive. They want him to win.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The whole buses in on it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
He did and got a standing ovation on the bus.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Make the bus and he must be bugged. But also
the girls been throwing themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
The girls was the clapping and smiling, and it was
the greatest day of his life, said and I said him,
that is so awesome. I'm going to catch the bus
home with you and.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Sits in with her with Caie podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I want to talk about ghosties, ghosts. The toilet.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
What is that worst is that somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, let's Tommy's shaking his head. Let's not do this.
But I have a feeling I'm going to do it anyway.
And I think it's when you flush, and well, when
somebody told me when they flush and you go, oh,
was it ever even here?
Speaker 6 (04:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's when somebody leaves a gift in your toilet o cape.
So someone uses your house and they leave it nine
and they don't get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But what has that got to do with a ghost?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
The ghosting is.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
When you go to the toilet and takes itself around
the spend and you don't have to flush, and you
stitt it up and go where that goes?
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Is that is that.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We're not going to look for the meaning of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And let's not google googling ghosts and ghosting.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, there's so many versions of ghosts, but I'm
going to go pretty old school here and just your
regular Like I was going to say real life ghost
but that would be wrong.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Just a ghosts, okay, standard ghosts.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Sometimes talking to ghosts can help, and sometimes people have
the skill or the talent of being able to connect
with the afterlife.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Just I find it so humorous when you're in a
room with a media and they go, oh, your grandma's
rocked up, and you look around the room and you
go where and they go, She's standing right behind you
and she said that that day that she dropped you
off at footy training, she forgot to pick you up,
(05:17):
and she's sorry, my gosh, I remember.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That Okay, so we've got a non believer in the room. Okay,
I think it's very clear that you don't believe in
this stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Tom. I don't know whether you're laughing at Kate or
you're just googled ghosty. No, I can't say.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Guys, so do you keep moving back?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay? Far more my search history shortly than me. No,
give us a call. Thirteen twenty four ten. I mean,
maybe you've used connecting with what is that the number?
Why are you laughing at me?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Think ghost?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, Gosh, give us a call because I have a
story I'm going to share with you. Thirteen twenty four ten.
If you've connected with the afterlife, has it been helpful?
I mean, there are psychologists out there that say that
sometimes if it's if you've lost a loved one and
you're finding the grieving process incredibly difficult, that somehow connecting
(06:07):
with those people through a medium can be quite helpful.
But it needs to be restricted to a certain period
of time. You can't try and have this person in
your life forever.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Uncle Gary is still here.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It would be great to have a ghost that's with
you the whole time. Kate and gives you advice I think.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You need to be of privacy every now and then. Like,
imagine if you did everything in your day all like say,
seven days out of a week. That is a week.
But imagine if they were there all the time'd be awesome.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Like just hey, by the way, kettle's done finished, you
know that. Go get yourself to set your tea.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You don't need to gohot to you.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't think you need to go.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
If you you might be in another room.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You want you drink your tea. Maybe there are some
things you need to have privacy. You want to drink
your tea.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Just spoke to another ghost. Someone's steal in your car
right now, Thanks Dave, Thanks go check it out.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
But where's the ghost in the bed with you or
out in the driveway watching your car all night?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
They see everything, Kate, This is the thing they be everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I went to a cafe in Queensland once upon a time.
This is very years ago, and I was with my
boyfriend and we're at the coffee club. He always took
me to all of the best places. And I was
having a latte in one of those hideous triangular vessels
(07:29):
that they tend to serve so tall that you tend
to knock them over, and you hate that you've ordered
a latte because it's so milky and got to do.
I'm sitting there and as I did a little bit,
I was crying into my late because it was just
not a great day. You're looking at me. People listening.
(07:53):
They know they've cried into their latte, They've sat a
dinner table with their partner and had an all awful
dinner because they you know, I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Just not a good advertisement for coffee club?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Is it really?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You can't go?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
They did? They do a meaning for carture. But what
I'm saying is it wasn't the coffee club that was
the issue was probably the person I was sitting at
the table with. So I'm crying into my latte, trying
not to cry, and he I don't even know what
he was doing. It probably thought it was great. It
was the best day of his life. Crying my coffee.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Again, I'll repeat the question, what's this got to do
with the ghost?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, a woman, right, a woman got up, and she
obviously went and ordered her sandwich or something crosser, and
and then she came back. Okay, how did it go?
And then right, I go to the toilet. I get
up from the toilet to go and dry my eyes
or something and reassess life. I ghost ghost him anyway
(08:53):
with the ghost. So then I go into the toilet
and this woman who was sitting also sitting in the
in the coffee club, follows me into the toilet, and
she says to me, are you okay? And I said, well,
does that bloody well looks like I'm okay. No, I
didn't say that. I said, yeah, like what I did,
just what you did. Say, Yeah, just fake, fake it
till your mate. She said, you'll be okay. She said.
(09:18):
I know there's obviously something distressing going on. This whole
situation doesn't look great, she said, but you'll be okay
because she's one of those medium people. And she could
see my guardian angel standing at the table with me
watching while I cried.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Laughing at you, laughing at you.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
She said, she could see someone.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
When you walk back to the table, did you sort
of look around a bit and go, I can't believe
someone's there with me?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Had he gone by then to the break up boyfriend?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Oh no, he had. She had it many more days
of hell to put me.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Through fits with her Withie podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I want to hear from you if you've got like
a really cutesy thing that you do in your relationship
just to show how you love each other. And it's
just a special thing that the two of you get.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Just between the two of you. Yeah, nobody else knows
that means.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, maybe people do and they envy you from afar, like,
oh my god, they have such cute gestures of love.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
This.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I want to say that this is cute because I
do love love, and it is the week of the
Singles Ball and all of that stuff. But this cutesy
sign of love in this relationship could also be the
most annoying thing in the world. There's a woman. She's
married to Clifford the Big Red Dog, and they have
(10:44):
this thing where he I mean, they've been married for
forty one years, so they are doing they're doing okay.
I know, you spoke to someone on air this morning
you'd been married for twenty and you thought that was impressive.
Forty one years. Apparently she has made his lunch for
work every day of that forty one years. It's amazing
and it's still here to deal the tale. And one
(11:08):
day she took a bite of his little sandwich that
she made and popped in in his lunch box, and
he toddled off to work. And then he got to
work and he thought someone had had a little nibble
at his lunch.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Little mouse in the house.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
He's like, somebody's eating my lunch. And at the end
of the day, she said, no, telling that was me.
I was just so peckish when I was cooking your lunch.
And I do remember that one day you said to me,
lunch shared with you. My darling, whatever her name is,
Tracy is always the best lunch of all. So she
now does that every day, so that in some ways
(11:42):
it feels as though they've shared lunch, even though she's
at home and he's at work. And it's just so cute.
Thirteen twenty four ten. If you've got something like that,
it's come around the house. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Connection of the lips as well, wasn't it. It's like
a kiss. She's touched the sandwich last, and then I'm
going to bite into it next.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
I know.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
When I sat down my lunch break fits and I
open my food for the day and I look in
and someone's taken a bite out of a sandwich. I reckon,
I'm that wrapped half. If it's missing, miss has taken
my bite.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I think it's cute to start with, but don't you
think that on some days you sit down for your
lunch and somebody's taken a bite out of your egan lettuce?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
How annoying?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Come on, just let me have my lunch. I'm a
grown er.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, I can have my lunch without you having the
first bite.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But also if she's making it, I think she deserves
to be able to have a bite. I mean, as
somebody who's had their lunch made for them for work
for forty one years, maybe give us a call if
you've had that, if you never made your own lunch,
if you dare to go, I still have.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I mean, this is off, it's a little bit different,
but I've still got BJ in my phone as BJ
too Hotty, which was when I first started courting her
coat A friend of hers came over and said, do
you want her number? And I said I would love
her number, and she said give me your phone, and
(13:11):
her friend put BJ's number in my phone as BJ
too Hotty.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That is That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
That is so nice, beautiful man.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I haven't changed it since, mainly because I'm very lazy.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But you don't know how to do it.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
No, I've frigging I've got a BlackBerry and I don't
know how to shaves in Castle Ray. Hello, okay, guy,
what do you do for your husband? That's a bit
of a sign of love.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Every day with them he has the twelve years and
every day, depending on my mood, I'll google I love
your poems, I appreciate your poems and screezehot it and then.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So nice.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
What time of day does he get them? Like when
he arrives at well many of them.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Oh, he works away, so he doesn't get home until Saturdays.
So many of the morning or asked to know, and
I do it. So I do that.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But I'll send a song through quite often you've recorded. No,
I'll send a song that I really like, that's a
love song, and I just mess it to the song
to her Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Tom also sends through screenshots, but there are a lot
different to that.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
That's not really a sign of love. Tom, you actually
call that a poem? Can can I speak on behalf
of tom Cave?
Speaker 7 (14:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You do well. I'd like to say a couple of
examples of what Tom does. For one, he bought a
plastic container to housing his banana in so it wouldn't
get squashed when she took her to work.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That must have been very uncomfortable for it.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
A good idea, that's a good gift. And then he
bought a little deck chair, a little deck chair for
her mobile phone to sit on some sort of a
resting place.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's really that's really thoughtful. I want to go back
to the thing about the I know we're still talking
about love songs and luckily gestures, but when you the
sending of songs, and I don't know if anyone else
has had this experience, your idea of what the song
means can sometimes has the song ever caused an argument
(15:07):
because you know, you might send through like a Taylor
Swift song, I don't know, And then you expect the
other person to listen to the song and they listen
to the lyrics. And then if they bother to listen
I don't often listen to those things, they say, how
did you listen to it? You never do, and then
you you start to break it down, and then an
(15:29):
argument ensues because it's like which one am I or
would you think that I'm what have I ever done that?
Speaker 7 (15:36):
That?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Which character am I?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
In the song? The song is called have I told
you lately that I love you? Just accept it.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
We've got a ron on the line from Will Aaron.
What does your partner do to tell you that they
love you?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
Well, she always dances for me on the ring camera,
so you always get the notifications coming up that you
know something's gone past your ring camera, that your front all,
but you know it's just a notification and then comes
to smoke. Oh, and you look at the notification and
she's done, and she she's dancing.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
For me, twirking that kind of stuff, Aaron.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Or it's more like Napoleon dynamite, just like we need
crazy dancers all the time.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Of human And he sounds really invigorated by calling and
talking about his partner.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
That is nice to the single John, Johnny Oyster Bay,
how does your wife say I love you?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
She makes my lunch every single day for the last
forty three years, John.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
And what do you get? What's your standard lunch?
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Could be hen cheese and tomato. It could be a
magical rap with you know, pendory chicken.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
John, do you get a message in there?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
At all, John, No, I just know what.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
The message is.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
John.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
What's your wife's name?
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Ricky?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Vicky? And John? What a beautiful, beautiful romance? Tell me.
I don't know if I've got nothing in the tank
for those two, but what a great story that is. Yeah,
isn't that a beautiful story.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
It's a bit of a twist for you, John, Hang on, Jo,
I don't understand why she won't make more lunch for
golf on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
A good question.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I don't know, John, it's a fair question.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
She just wants to make sure you haven't had your
hands cut.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Off if you're able to make lunch for John on
a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I actually like it. I poo poo these ideas, but
I think it's lovely.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
That's great, John, Meghan and Harrington Park, how do you
say I love your eggs?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Well, my husband and I have been married seventeen years.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
On Saturday, kids and I put a little barbecue love
heart on his breakfast plate when I make breakfast for him.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
What's he having of the morning? Is it eggs and
bacon or what he's having?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Eggs on a muffin with a little sprinkle?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yes, you, Megan, do you know what I do too.
There's like a stick on pad that goes inside the
inside the pantry door and you write down if you
finish something, you write it down so that we know
to get it from the shops. Sometimes I just add
to the list sweet kisses.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh, I know that is cute, Yes, because that is
a credit to you. You've got you've got four kids,
the hot chocolate. I bet they haven't always been my parts.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I bet sometimes it's just an unfortunate that bum bum
the cleaner comes with her lips looking around the house
like Allison from Regentville. Alison, your hobby is what does
(18:48):
he do that's really cute?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
And weed?
Speaker 4 (18:51):
He on our first wedding anniversary he put our first
three wedding songs on a CD, and every year since
then he adds a song to the CD on our anniversary, Alison.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Give us some of the songs over the years that
have really hit a chord with you.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Oh We've got without your Love, Jimmy Barn unchained melody.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, there's do you do a slow dance with it,
Alison around the living room?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Well, we used to do.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I lost my husband ten years ago, but yeah, right
up until he passed, he did that every year.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
What a beautiful tradition. And now you have those wonderful
songs together forever.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, and they mean so much.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's so nice to hear thank you for calling.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh that was a beautiful call.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I didn't know he was gone.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
But they're those sort of things where you can really
build the love forever because Allison has those fond memories
and has that fond connection with the music and that
lives on.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah. Absolutely.
