Celebrated your third anniversary with Laura. Well, I just a
couple of days ago had my very own anniversary.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I call it the Bangniversary.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Can I ask you a very personal question, and if
I'm crossing a line here, please tell me to shut up.
You probably are, but it won't. It'll be normal. Okay.
Have you seen there's a product A long time ago,
I was in a sharehouse and one of the girls,
her partner, lived overseas, and she actually got a mold
of his as I'm never going downstairs region absolutely not

(01:41):
and turn that into a sex toy. That's weird. Just
get a normal one. I don't need to mold it,
so it's easy. That's a nice touch, don't you think,
isn't that?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't think he'd want to put his WILLI in
cement and like mold it up.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I mean I've done before with Laura, and I have done.
We had the cast not of our hands, but we
did it of our feet interlocked and just get weirder
and weird into your bucket, and I think it's actually
it's quite quick. It's quite quick. Just say Christmas is
coming up, right, don't get any idea. You go over
to Italy and you have a beautiful Christmas morning together,

(02:16):
and he goes, hey, before we see the family, I
want to give you something real special just for you.
And he gives you a box. Open the box. What
is it? If he did it on his own?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, fine, But I'm never going to go and ask
him to go and get his willie molded.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Be honest to me right now, would you want that? No?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Okay, I absolutely wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
But if Ben's asking you to ask me if I
want that as a present.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, But I I'm the same thing as you, right.
I have multiple anniversaries, so we have to say something else.
I have multile anniversaries.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I've got the anniversary that we thought it was just
going to be hangs and bangs and never see each
other again.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Damn, we have the anniversary. I love. By the way
that at your wedding you were talking as you are
right now in front of all his family. I just
thought I was going to fuck the guy then leave,
I said, thinks, and all the German relatives are like,
oh goodness, that was a terrible German accent.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
But that's that's very me. It's just a cool space
of spade and I did. I thought it was a
one night stand and that was going to be it.
So then we have that, Then we have the anniversary where.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
We actually got together.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Then we have our anniversary for the engagement.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
And that's not that's not, that's nothing.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Then we have our wedding anniversary, and then we have
another wedding anniversary too.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, so this anniversary.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Barley one's obviously the priority, right.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, we've decided the other one.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
So we had two weddings, right, a big Barley wedding
where everyone came to one hundred people.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
It was amazing. Then we had legally that didn't the
Barley one wasn't like a legal officiated that don't recognize
it as the wedding day. Right now, it.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Felt like the wedding day, but it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
It was like a fake signing. And then we got
married a couple of weeks later, and that was real.
And so we've decided to make the way.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I say, sorry for not coming to that one, yeah
you can, and a lot on sorry about that too
much on for a wedding. It was actually it was
two last minute. It was actually it was very like
you gave me like a week's notice.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
No, I actually think we planned that in about four days.
That was pretty miraculous. I pulled off something amazing. But
we've decided to go with that one because the date
is too We went for the date.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
The date's more memorable. Can you tell me the date
or is that private?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Grace knows it's the twenty fifth of the sixth, twenty five.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Grace knows it's a good one. Two five six five.
Is it rude not to pick that? Eleven eleven twenty two?
That's pretty good?

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Great.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
See my other one was no one cares this week?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, can I just sound sorry Grace? Your wedding date
if that's okay?

Speaker 4 (04:37):
It is thirtieth zero three twenty four. Because they're not
as strong March thirtieth. It's a Saturday.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
People book weddings now off dates like you.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
People try so hard just to get a particular date
over something that's more meaningful them because I just want
to be able to remember it.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
My phone number is a very easy number two, so
it's it's like twos and threes. Every time I tell someone,
they're like.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Hi, this week, finally I've got something across the line.
It is something I have felt very passionately about, what
I've wanted to talk about for a long time.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Produced a grace of math. We've tried to roadblock this
topic for so long until finally, after just weeks of
pestering late let's just ran out of content, we said, fine,
you can do this.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Let's say you put a condom on the chat.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Would you say that? Would I say that? Because not
at all.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
We're talking about a new kind of race that is
sweeping the nation.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I don't think it is I think one person's done it.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
But it's sperm racing.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
People. People are now racing their sperm.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I am fascinated by it, and I just can't believe
you guys haven't wanted to unpack it until now.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I'm going to tell you just a little bit
of intel into the old Matty J, the young Mandy J,
before he met Laura, before he was on the batch.
You're like, how I used to try and flirt at bars.
I'll tell you how it was done. And I've passed
this knowledge on now. This used to be in the
inner sanctum under like like lock and key, go of
my secrets.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I'm really glad you letting go. I even gave one
of my little flirting secrets in there.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
That's right visual as well. Yes, gosh, use anyway what
to treat this episode is. But it's been a bit
of a whirlwind of a week in my household. I
don't know if you know this, but my mum had
shoulder surgery to reattach ligaments quite a while ago, right
about ten weeks ago. And you may have heard of this,

(06:29):
you might not have, but it's a virus called seediff.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yes, so see, diiff is like a they call it
like a hospital virus.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's a hospital born virus. And up until this point,
I had never ever heard of it, never knew it existed.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I don't think people I only know it because I
worked in a hospital. I think generally people don't really
know what it is. It's not something you hear a
lot about.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
So my mum had the surgery, she came out and
as far as she knew, like, she was totally fine.
But then she had a really upset tummy that just
wouldn't go away. And she was like, oh, you know,
it's just something that's going to be, you know, here
for I'll get over in a couple of days. A gashtra, Yeah,
no big deal. But it got so bad. And recently

(07:11):
she was at home. I was out, I was about
to get the kids. Laura was at home with mum
and she's like, oh, my my stomach's a bit, you know,
it's a bit upset, and I got really bad cramps.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
And this has been ten weeks of this, right, ten
weeks cramps.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
And Laura was like, well, I was about to go
for a walk with Poppy, who's our newborn, but she goes,
I'm just going to stay here just in case. And
then Laura messaged me and said, hey, do I think
your mom's doing too well? And it happens so quick,
it can come on so strong, and I don't know
if anyone's not experienced se diff but this is how

(07:49):
quickly things can change from being completely fine to being
pretty scary. So Laura told my mum to just go
to lie down in bed. She did that, and within
ten minutes of my mom going into her bedroom, she
makes out this moan. She calls out to Laura. Laura
runs in and she goes, I don't think I'm doing

(08:09):
very well. The color had completely gone from her. She
was gray. Laura instantly called the ambos, and they must
have been at least six maybe seven minutes, And in
that time, my mom had gone from being able to
say a few words. Her blood pressure had dropped so
quickly because the virus is so aggressive that all of

(08:31):
a sudden she was laying in bed, unable to respond
to anything that Laura was saying. Wow, in like six minutes.
In six minutes, that's how aggressive this thing is. And
we're so thankful that by chance, the ambos were just
around the corner and they came within the blink of
an eye. And I can't help but think if Laura

(08:52):
hadn't have listened and paid attention to my mum being unwell,
I've been a little bit cautious regarding the situation. She
wasn't there, and if she went for a walk, and
if no one was able to call triple zero. It's
so scary to think what might have been at my
mom's seventy three now, so she's no spring chicken. Yeah,
and when you're a little bit older, you know things

(09:13):
can go from bad to worse. Especially quickly.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
It's so scary, but especially because they haven't really been
able to find out what's wrong with her right and
treat it like they almost know what's wrong with her now,
but it's just not getting better. And it's been ten
weeks of like up and down and up and down.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
We've seen a few different specialists, but I do want
to give a shout out to one amazing doctor who
was in the eer. Her name is doctor Walsh. And
you know, sometimes you come across a person who's just
just like she cared. She was just onto it. And
the moment I saw her and she came into the
room and she started speaking to my mom, I was like, ah,

(09:49):
this woman is a boss, and she was just I'm
so thankful that the doctor we had her at that
moment she figured it out, because you just it's so
scary when you're in the hospit all, when you just
you don't know, this world is so foreign and you
just put your hands completely in someone else's. But if
anyone is wondering, my mum has now returned from hospital.

(10:11):
She is getting better, okay, good and hopefully you figured
it out now well. She's being treated for seed iff
and I'm now the messenger of seediff and it's funny.
I spoke about it on socials and so many people
have message and reached out and said, oh, a family
member also got seed iff off the back of surgery,
and no one knows about it, and it's so common

(10:31):
and it's so aggressive and it's so debilitating what it
can do to you if it's not treated properly.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Well, it needs a very specific treatment, which is why
people can get sick for so long because people don't
figure out what it is and treated properly. Well, I'm
so I mean, great message to put out to people,
man if people are getting sick after they've been in hospital.
But also I'm so glad to hear that Ellie's doing
better and let's hope that she's on the up now.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I want to get her in for fun. Fact Friday's
when she is better and she's she's back to full health,
we will get her on the show. Don't worry about that.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Hey, Matthew Johnson, or would I say Matthew McConaughey, because
you're a Hollywood superstar.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, it's actually Constable Sampson was my character's name, that's right, Brittany,
thank you very much. I was in a movie last
don't laugh. No, you hang on. You're not in a
movie yet. You filmed a movie just so. I was
in a movie. I don't know if it's a telemovie.
I'm not sure. Anyway, Look, I made a couple of

(11:26):
little mistakes. Okay, we'll up first. For those that listening,
I have no idea. You're talking about. What is the
what is the movie? When did you do it? What
do we know? Okay? So the movie is called The Killings.
It's going to be on stand it's not until next year.
I think not until May, so a little while away. Yeah, okay.
I somehow got in contact with the director.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
How I was in the bushes outside of his house.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
And I was like, hey, relax, I'm in your bedroom.
It's fine. I said, if there is any opportunity to
be in the movie, I would love to audition. And
he goes, actually, I've got a role that I think
you'd be grateful, and I was like, dude, I am
in I We need to start doing this. You need
to start breaking into directors' homes and getting in movies.
But I got the role. It was small, okay, and

(12:13):
I don't know how I did this, but I knew
it was called The Killings. I thought it was a comedy. Okay.
So I was getting my makeup done, I was getting dressed,
and now like, are you excited? And I said, yeah,
you know, it's great. It's good to be involved in
something that's just a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Killings doesn't scream comedies, I know.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I just I thought it was like, you know, yeah exactly.
And they were like, oh, involved in like a fun
projects and I was like, yeah, just like a really
silly you know, I'm here for a laugh. And they
were like oh okay. And I was like, well, how
has it been Has it not been fun? And they
were like, well, there's just been a lot of death.
And I was like, okay, fel like it's in like

(12:52):
scary movie death. It was like horrific. And I was like, oh,
it's a horror film. And I was like, of course, yeah, yeah,
I'm just you know, you have getting all my movies
mixed up. You have fun regardless what the genre is, right,
And then you know how I was growing the mustache
yeah for the police role because I was playing a
constable and I thought it was set in the nineteen eighties,

(13:14):
it's not it's present day, so it just looks like
a weird And they were like, oh, I guess the
mustache kind of does work. And I was like, corse,
it does nineteen eighties and they were like, what how
did you get this so mixed up?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I feel like you had a golden opportunity and you
didn't do with it what you should.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
But then to top it all off, and you've been.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
In like I'm also very famous actress, so you know.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
When you're you're on set, before they start filming, you
have what's called blocking, where you just walk through the scene.
Everyone does their lines. And in my head, I was thinking,
I don't know any of this dialogue. I learned the
wrong page. Did you only have one line? I had
one line? So I like I was panicking, but I
managed to get through the line. Like I was, I

(13:57):
grabbed someone's script and I was like, can you just work?
Are we? And I was like, okay, cool. But there
was an actor called Heather Mitchell who's like, she's so
well known, she's almost seventy, she's been in so many productions.
She's like, you know, she's a goddess of Australian screen
and I'm there. I'm like, I can't stuff up my
one line, and just as it came to me, I

(14:17):
found my place on the page. I got my line
out and I was like, cool, I can remember this,
but my line is she wants to see you, and
I what is the line? The other day? Was like
it was wrong?

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Oh my god, I actually can't deal with you. So
hang on, can you say your line in characters?

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Okay? In character? This is the actual line. I'm not
I'm not drinking the woman's line before you. I'll do it.
I think she said you have to say they're here. Okay,
they're here, sorry, Inspector. This woman insisted on speaking with you.
What can you do it more? In character? That was okay,

(14:55):
go again again, they're here to see you, sorry, inspects
This woman insisted on speaking. They didn't ask you back
to Then it comes out, May guys, it's gonna be great.
Oh I can't wait to see it.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Maybe not the next Matthew Morne, but your Matthew M.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Johnson. Hey all, thank you, thank you for taking the
attention off me. Brett appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Hey, Mandy Jay, I have something that you might want
to get amongst I know you're always trying to find
like new hobbies and activities, and you bought a mountain
bike and you started not a mountain bike, sorry, rode
bike and started like bike riding and.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
So well, Hang on a second, don't try and caveat
your strange story that you've got with the fact that
I'm trying to find a new hobby. I'm happy. There
is nothing wrong with my life. I'm fulfilled. All the
hobbies that I currently have are great. But what have
you got for me?

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (15:49):
I don't know if you're a betting man, but I
do like a bet. Yeah, okay, a little bit on
the horses.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, I've gotten sucked into something. It's been my Roman Empire.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
The last Actually, I was going to say a couple
of days.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's a lie.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, because you know what I'm about to say. It's
called spermula one.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
It is spermula one. That's very clever, thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
It's sperm racing. Now, this is exactly what it sounds like.
It is the racing of sperm.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Now.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I'm trying going to try how they.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Hang on a second, what are you watching that? Is
this on social media?

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Is this you found think because of our jobs, we
constantly look up weird and unusual things to talk about.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
So now I just get fed stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Anyway, I'm just fascinated by it. So it's apparently started
over in like the US, these tech bros got together
they wanted to raise awareness. It's not actually just like sports.
Bet they wanted to raise awareness for men's health.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Was it finance bros? Finance? I bet it was like
the finance bros.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I think it's finance bros versus tech bros.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Probably, But what people are doing they make it this
you can watch it live. They make it this really
big spectacle. Think of like the WWE wrestling. You know
how they come out and they're like sletards and their
wighing in on each other and.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
They're like they're bad mouthing each other. They make it
a whole spectacle.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
And what they've done is they've created you wait, hang
on a second, you get to see the individual before
you see their seeds. I like that. That's nice. That's tasteful. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
And the idea about it is like they're they're going
each other, like you know why, they're going to take
each other down.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
But it's about trash talk. Yeah, but it's about health.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
So it's like I haven't drunk in four years, like
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's about why your body is healthy and why you
think your sperm is going to be the superior sperm.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I can't tell her this is good so funny.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
No, I think it's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
And they've created so the whole race is watched under
like a microscope, which is livestream, so you are actually
seeing real life sperm and the racetrack, like the Spermula
one racetrack is a tiny, tiny little track that is
a replica supposedly.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Of like a Yeah it is. I like that.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
You know about the men. You get to bet on
who you think. So they've told you what they're like.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Health history is you.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Get to say, hey, this person's been working out every day,
they look after themselves, they don't drink, and then you
can put your bets on.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Does the winner get soonem pregnant or how does it work?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
No, there's not a woman laying at the end.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
This doesn't work like that. So they're just racing towards
the finish line. The sperm do they know? How do
they know which way to go or is it like
the cane toad race where they kind of all get
dropped in a bucket and they all like try and
hop away.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Well, I guess that's the idea, right. It's a tiny,
little microscopic track, and I guess if your sperm doesn't
know where it's going, then it loses, like if your
sperm is not strong enough and intelligent enough.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
And is doing it. Honestly, I'm a little bit concerned
about you and your hobbies, and the fact that you've
tried to put this on me is something that I
would like. Do we need to talk off air? Are
you okay? How much money have you lost on sperm
racing so far? I'm honest, No, only like a dollar fifty.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, my sperm got stuck around a bend.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Can I tell you what I used to race when
I was a kid?

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
God, So my grandma was a pigeon. She used to
race pigeons.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
So we've had some animal racing in our family for
quite a while. So I used to race strap in
hermit crabs.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Okay, all right, yeah for fun. Your family will be
so proud. I love how far a family which is
rich in the pedigree of racing has now gone from
hermit crabs to sperm. Brittany Hockley, go on places your
poor grandma. Brittany, I've got some information about modern day dating.

(19:30):
Oh where did that come from?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
You've been locked down for many years.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Look, I just wanted to know how the kids are
currently dating. I'm talking about gen Z and they're doing
things a little bit differently to how we used to date. Okay,
well we dated on probably. I think a lot of
people dated differently to how we dated. But when I
was growing up, when I was a youngster, and I
would try and find someone who was compatible with myself,

(19:54):
what I would do, Brittany, is I would try and
find that common ground. What are those same interests?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Do you also like to go to the park after school?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Do you like to serve the park after school? Interesting
interest that you just suggested? Sorry, how yeah? Well, are
we talking about when you were seven?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Or like?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Do you like Missus dart Fire?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Like?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Do you like the same movie?

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah? Do you like sunsets in the park? Yeah? The park?
The park is getting a hot run. But what the
kids these days are doing it is called grim keeping?

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Is that supposed to feel like grim reaping?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Well? I guess so, I think so. Maybe like a
play on words, But what it highlights is the importance
of mutual disinterests. That's how they are finding the common ground,
like a shared hatred or a shared dislike. Yeah, both
could work. So I want to know right now if
we could grim keep together. I have a couple of

(20:50):
things that I dislike more than anything else, and I
want to try and see if we're compatible, you and me. Okay, okay,
I've got one. When it comes to films, there is
only one type of film that I dislike watching. I
will avoid it at all costs. Do you want to
know what it is?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Is this a category or an actual?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
It's a category. It's a category horror. Oh, I was
gonna say horror musicals.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Oh, producer Grace has just canceled you. It's her favorite
thing to do in Sorry, producer is horror. I can't
watch a horror.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Not quite, producer, Grace. We're out. We're unless unless okay,
hear me out? Types of food? Fruit? What do I hate?
Poor poor? I'll hate that with you. Yes, I like Grace.
You can't.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
You don't have any friends in the room now, because
with you, I've got a food Dolmarty's vine leaves.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh detest them.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
There's nothing I detest more in the world than a
Vieley no time.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
For Producer Grace. Oh gosh, I will never be able
to grim keep with you and it disappoints me.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
You know, I sort of get it, Like psychologically, there
is nothing that bonds you more. It's been proven that
people bond more over a shared dislike of a person
or a thing then they do when they bond over
something that's a shared mutual interest.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Like that has been like a proven study.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Galvanizes the relationship, Grace, write that down.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, galvanizes the relationship.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
It's a really.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Sure fire way to bond initially, but it doesn't bode
well for long term. So it's like it's really good
for this short sort of like relationships and whether that's
love or friendship, but it's not going to get You
can't just hate on stuff for the rest of your life.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Interesting point, producer, Grace. Just know that our relationship short
term won't be great, but long term we're onto a
real winner.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, I agree, Manage Jay, you tell us what's on
your mind today.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Look, this is news that will either make you a
little bit panicked or it'll be the best thing you
have ever heard in your entire life. It's a broad
spectrum of where it could land, and that was very big,
the very vast. Okay, have you heard of Neo one X.
It sounds like a rapper.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
I think Neo one X. Oh it is one X. Okay,
I did think it was gonna be a cousin.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Of every album comes out next week two X and
it's a robot. Yeap Okay, this just blew up on
social media. Everyone is very excited. But Neo one X
is a humanoid robot that'll try and do the housework
for you, and it comes out next.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Year, available to the everyday person.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Like when you say just does housework for you, I
feel like this is the one percent.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Before I get into the final details and start listing
out the prices. This is what one of the creators
has said.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Neo comes with redwood AI, enabling it to do basic
household tasks autonomously. Where other AI assistants are confined to
your phone or computer, Neo lives with you in your
physical space and has the ability to see here and
remember things about your surrounding environment to provide you with
uniquely helpful assistance.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Okay, save to.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Find my glass?

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Is this Paprika? No, that's cayenne pepper? That you idiot?
That is weird. I don't like it. What's the one
with Will Smith? The movie Robot? I Robot? It does
feel a little bit like I Robot. I don't know why.
It's creepy.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Mat it's creepy because it's like looks like a human.
It's the same size as a human.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I can't tell if it's real or if it's fake.
I've been watching the movies on their Instagram and it
does just look like an intern. Let's look someoney to
cost you on the tipp toes, right, but it's not cheap. Okay,
it's going to cost you up to twenty thousand dollars
for a Neo one X. Maybe this is a good thing.
It's only going to be available in America from next

(24:46):
year twenty twenty six, so if things do go bad, Hey,
this is gonna fine.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I I reckon we should put one in Donald Trump's
office anyway. That's another thing.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
My worry is this scares me.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Okay, if somebody said you could pay twenty thousand as
a one off fee and have someone do all of
your cleaning, all of your housework. It can lift over
sixty eight kilograms. That is so much you can have
it doing like full outdoor work and maintenance. If I
could pay one off fee of twenty grand and know
that this would be around for years to do all
my housework.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
I would do it.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
But I don't believe that this stuff isn't going to
be corrupted.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Now, maybe this is a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Here we go, because.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
There's all this stuff about AI and robots taking over
the world. Right what happens when this gets a bug
or someone overrides it all, Like there's an attack and
this person turns on you and you wake up at
night and this robot is standing over your bed with
its hands and wants to strangle you or something.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's where I want, I know. But also at the
same time it does the dishes and folds the washing.
Risk of death in your head, like we three kids
right now and the house is pretty trash. Is it
a risk worth taking? I reckon it is?

Speaker 3 (25:53):
You're into it, aren't you. You're into this whole AI
robot taking over you know.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I hear you. I am concerned. Is this the beginning
of the into the human race. Yes, most definitely. But
does it mean that I don't have to do the
dishes anymore? Yes, at the same time, so I'm in
and then guys, let's do it.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Hey man, I have just seen there's a new sport
taking off. It's over in the States, but I did
have a look, and there's some stuff going down here
in ours. In the States, they are up in the
anti for tenpin bowling.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
What like more pins or how they're doing it? I
guess you could call them pins.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
They're doing it nude. Yes, they're doing nude tenpin bowling.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Now correct me if I'm wrong, But does it classify
as nude? If you still need to wear those bowling
shoes because you can't bowl your there's.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Like rules to bowling, right, and one of them.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Is you have to have the special shoes.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I actually think though, I think your feet the skin
would be sticky enough on that floor. But what I'm
really worried about. I don't know if it's the same
with women and your bits, but I would be all
over the place. I need to be contained. I want
the safety, the security of butt huggers undies. I think

(27:06):
the only reason.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
It would work for the ten pin bowling.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Is it's not an extreme sport, right, They're not. They
don't have pace, they're not running.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
I don't think it's well not offend the bowling community. Don't.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
But this is where I think it's funny. And I
have a photo here for you. You cannot see anything.
I had a little look and in Australia, I this
has gone under the radar.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
They have like a nood Olympics. They actually called it
the nood Olympics.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
For many years until the real Olympics came and said,
we don't want an association with that, you need to
change the name. So it's now called the Nude Games.
But it's all the Olympic sports that they do nude.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Have a look at this. This is a sprinter. Look
at the pot oh. It's very and people in the
audience are loving it.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
But that's where I think it's like, surely you're not.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
Wanting to do one hundred, two hundred, four hundred and
eight hundred meter races with your member flapping around.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
It looks like it absolute spectacor cool. Look at the audience,
that's a good atmosphere. I would definitely.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
One sport that you had to do nude, what would
it be?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Look I have I've danced on stage naked. I did
a show called The Full Monty. Can we bring that footage?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
And?

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Actually, do you know what I want? I have to say,
when you're in a position where the adrenaline is pumping
your manhood, it's like the body knows that it's it's
non essential. It's a non essential part. So I think
it conserves the blood to the main areas, like your
limbs when you're about to exert a lot of energy.
Is that what you're saying. I have never been smaller

(28:43):
in my life than when I was about to go
on stage and dance and take my clothes off. For
those who have just joined, it's for a TV show,
but it's it was like it was. It was kind
of inverted, if you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
So do you on that show? Do you hide it?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Or are you actually dancing and it's just freeing out there.
I was looking at my mum in the front row.
It's your mom came to see. She was sitting next
to Laura and she was she was cheering it on.
How long is it there?

Speaker 4 (29:09):
For?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Which were the member like? Because I know you dance
a little bit. Then it's short. It's short, but I've
always it's no, what's short not? I mean we're talking.
We're talking thirty seconds. I wish I was longer, but
about thirty seconds, it's not that long. But I've always
wanted to have the self confidence to just go to
anudist beach and just not care. You know who does that?

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Producer Grace, she loves a neody beach.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I do love a nudis speech or what do you
like about it? Grace?

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Just freeing. Yeah, it's just something about it. Everyone's there,
everyone's it's a real community. People actually make way more
conversation at a neudis speech than a regular beach, which
I'd love less of.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Do you see people than outside of the neudist speech
or do you normally just reserve the meetups in location?
I don't.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, I don't know that I've seen anybody outside of
the neudist beach that I had seen on them.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Have you been to the nudist Games? No, maybe that's
for you.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
You're a dancer, Yeah, I'm not very athletic though.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Gymnast nude dancing lot of poles, there's a lot.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Of But do you know what I like? I like
the fact that we're open to suggesting it as an idea,
like a weekend activity. I just think we could broadcast
from a nude beach.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I don't know if you and I would want to
be there broadcasting news.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Did you not hear how free it was?

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Do you want to look at me nude and talk?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
I want to be as free as what Grace was
talking about. I want that that feeling. That's what I
want to achieve.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
I'd do it if I could put little shells over
the places, so I was.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Like a mermaid.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Now, Matt, a lot of people in the next generation
apparently have lost one very crucial life skill.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
The art of flirting?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Do you think?

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Well, apparently there's a few articles floating around, so I'm
going to say yes.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I think people aren't really flirting in public as much anymore.
I think I don't know the exact stats, but I
think a lot of people just are doing it online.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
But this is a problem, right we went into I
guess from covid as well. A we're an online society now,
Like we all live on our phones, it's easier to
be on an online dating app or Instagram.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
It's easier.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
You feel more confident to be flirting through a keyboard
then COVID here.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
And we weren't going out anymore.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
And I think a lot of people, a lot of
a younger generation as well, they don't feel as comfortable
with their in person social skills.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Where are all the players?

Speaker 3 (31:34):
What are they doing with the players that they're actually
at home playing video games?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Gosh?

Speaker 2 (31:39):
But there are some articles and I put together the
top ways on how to flirt.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I would love to know though, your opinion, because you
were the Bachelor.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
I used to be quite a good flirter back in
the day ago.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Well, you had to flirt with thirty women simultaneously, So
before I tell you the actual list, I would love
to know, like, what were your flirting tricks?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Well, back in the down I didn't have to do
much because they came to me like a monster flavor.
I was just fielding the requests, you know. I think
it's a lot harder when you have to proactively go
out and initiate the flirting.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
So you didn't. You never initiated anything on the Bachelor.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
No, okay, So what about before you were the Bachelor?
The season before you were on the Bachelorette.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
My flirting I think was probably at its best when
I was about like i'd say, my early twenties in Sydney,
as a youngster running around. What were you doing? Look,
there's actually a point here, and it's point number four
on the list. It says, address the flirtation. I wasn't
a big fan of pick up lines. But what I

(32:44):
would do, and if there's any men or women unsure
on how to flirt, please write this down, okay, straight
from Tom fin, straight from the horse's mouth, what I
would do at a bar, all right, listen to this.
I would go up to someone ordering and I would
stand next to them and I would say We've got

(33:04):
to stop doing this, and they'd say what do you mean?
I go, this is just this is a bit much,
isn't it. And they'd be a bit confused the flirting
here going on right now.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Then you would hope that they would just be into it,
because then if they're like, yeah, you've really read it wrong,
when I.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
And then and then I'm like cool, I'll walk away.
Or if they have a chuckle, I go, oh, I've
got a bite, got a nibble. Boys, we've got.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
A live Yeah, okay, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
That's the only pickup line I would ever recommend using. Okay,
well should be giving away this for free guys.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yes, you're absolutely sure you're marry Bay You. Number two
on this list is something that I would do. So
if I was at a bar, I think this is
the tail, So it's looking.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
To their eyes. Now.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
I don't mean like you don't go up to them
and have a stair off like who blinks first?

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Would you do that? When you walk past on and
you kind of do that like they're like hey, and
you're like smile and you no, you do this.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
I don't know if you can see with my bowtox,
but little eyebrow raise, Oh my guy's aggressive.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
That's because of the potox.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
What I used to do is, and I think if
someone was doing it to me, it's a really sure
fire away for them to know you're interested.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
You're across the bar.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
You just need to give them a couple of extra looks,
like you look over your shoulder. You make it, obviously
it's not a gland. You look over your shoulder, a
little smirk, look away. A couple of minutes later, look
back boom. If you've looked two to three times, you're okay.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
So I'm at the bar. I just want you to
turn around, feel awkward flirting with one vocal em soda please?
And wow? That was pretty good, wasn't it was? I
felt that? Yeah, that was good. Good, that was We
need to like, we'll put this on socials.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
I would have done a better one.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
If you if you're not sure how to flirt, the
line of are you flirting with me? And then the
look look away, smile.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Well, the other ones are be sassy, used touch to
your advantage. I just want to say, with the touch,
definitely consenting. But they say touch is flirting, nothing out
of the blue or in tents, just a hand on
their arm laughing about something funny.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'm not sure about number five though, it says flirt
with yourself first. It's a good way to practice. Look
in the mirror and say something flirty to yourself, or
give yourself a wink.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
You be sure would have done that before you went
out that giving yourself a pip tour
