Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to what is going to be quite
possibly the most chaotic episode of the Mass Funny podcast
to date. This year's season may have wrapped and our
side of the world, but over in the UK they've
still got a few weeks left and the country has turned.
There's anger, there's confusion, and it's all ended at somebody
you would never expect. And my mum, our UK correspondent,
(00:23):
Christine is in the eye of the storm with her
best friend Elaine, who has kind of appointed herself as
the second correspondent.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, what a bastard, What a fucking bastards.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Now what's interesting is the cast member being received like
this in the UK right now was one of the
most loved cast members in Australia and the incident that's
caused such outrage is very unexpected. Now, let's start at
the beginning. Okay, So on Sunday morning, I woke up
and went for a walk and I had my weekly
(00:55):
phone call with my dearest mother, as that's our usual time,
my Sunday morning, her Saturday night, and this is not
when we usually record the pot. Usually we just kind
of have a chat to catch up and then we'll
say hey, let's talk on Monday or Tuesday about maths.
But this week she insisted that I press recorded immediately
on that casual chat because she was ready to run
(01:15):
after not gonna lie a bottle of wine.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Oh, Lauren, Lauren, what's not he is? Oh my god? Yeah,
Lauren and jam I like Jay, Oh my god, I
have a grassic pitchhake.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
No, it's just that's like the Greek. That's just her personality.
It's not bad intent, right, yeah, but she was a
bit mean on Karna and Rieke.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Okay all the window now after that is where things
kind of fell apart because since my mum has become
the star of this podcast and a voice for the
United Kingdom, her new found fame over there has become
the talk of her tiny coastal town and people want
to get involved. Remember like, I'm Married at First Sight
(02:09):
is one of the biggest shows in the UK. But
what's different over there is none of the casta there.
None of them are doing UK interviews, and they're not
spotted out and about like they I here. You know,
we have the endless stream of present day content happening
around us. The people of the UK get none of
that they're playing catch up to what we're posting, and
quite literally, the only person in the whole of the
(02:30):
UK with direct access to the cast of this monster
of a show is my sixty three year old retired mother. Now,
I'm not gonna lie. My mum is a humble lady.
She hasn't let this go to her head. And while
she was at her best friend Elaine's house on Saturday
night when I phoned, she wanted to share the spotlight
and get a lane involved in the coverage.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
This is a lane break coming from the UK with
two big tits and a large Fammy, sorry, our children,
no stitches. Why can't did you marriage at first sight?
For the likes of bolts?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Because Mum, you've been in a relationship for thirty years?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Okay, you're both in long term relationships, so it probably
wouldn't be the best to find you were married at
first sight, would it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, I'm not married to a man second sight. I've
seen the first.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Sight the second And Mum then wanted to bring up
her new crush of the.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Season, and Elliott is it your friend?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I'm not inviting him over for Christmas, but you know
a friendly.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Will invite him to Wetherspoons. He was quite fit though,
your mother going traveling travelers.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, and then it was time for Elaine's big moment
to share her thoughts as the official second Mass Funny
UK correspondent. But I quickly realized the only issue with
her new role and her update is the fact that
she's only actually watched two episodes.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
I don't think of up today with the old Josh
and what a catch watch so I can be a
rover reporter. The one I watch was when he walked
off the beach with the reducing when she's nothing that
I have asked for?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okay, and too well, what a bustard, what a fucking on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That mention of Katie though. I actually then had a
story to share with the girls because as we had
this phone call on my Sunday morning in Australia and
their Saturday night in the UK, I told them how
last night. So my Saturday night, Katie had randomly texted
me and when I opened that unexpected text message, there
was a video.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Waiting, Hi, gorgeous Josh doing this for you. It's a
full moon tonight. I was picking up on some energy.
Maybe it's my imagination. Maybe it's not, but I'm doing
like a little ceremony for you.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Now, I'm not gonna play the whole fingers. Katie did
send up privately, but what I can tell you is
she was holding what looked like a massive splif that
was burning at one end, but it wasn't marijuana. It
was like all these herbs and stuff tied together. And
what she was doing is something called smudging, which I've
also since learned is the ritual of cleansing the energy
of a physical space objectile person. Now, this video Katie
(05:29):
sent me really kind of caught me off. God and
Katie saying she felt something was off about me earlier
in the weekend when we spoken was like unexpected, but
it was also true. So I was like, oh fuck,
like she she saw through the bravado and here's the
voice note. I then replied to Katie with while on
my way to a party in the city, and yeah,
it was kind of like a bit emotional, just how
(05:51):
unexpected this sweet gesture was, Hello, Katie, that is very
lovely of you and just made me smile. And I
think maybe you were picking up on some very accurate things.
It's been a weird few days. Yeah, but maybe hopefully
the burning I didn't even know what it is. I
don't know where the spiritual stuff, but hopefully what you
(06:14):
just did with the full moon tonight helps. But that
is actually really lovely. It did make me smile, so
thank you. That's very appreciated. I'll let you know if
life gets better in the next few days as a result.
Stand by anyway, moving on, I won't go into what
was happening for me personally. That's kind of irrelevant to
this podcast and I won't bore you with that. But
(06:35):
once my mum Alane brought Katie up, I was like, oh,
I should tell them this story because it's like so
random but also actually so lovely. But their response was
not what I expected. You know that, You know that
lovely woman, Katie, Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Funnily enough, she messaged me last night and she felt
like I had fired energy when I seen her recently,
so she did a burning ceremony for me last night
in the full moon.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You are.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, it's a positive thing.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Sorry, no, no, it's like a spiritual thing where she
felt like I had bad energy. Maybe not in a bad,
not in the best place. So then when the full
moon was out, you burned like this sage things right.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Of you. I'm worried. I thought you no, no, we look,
I thought she'd burn you.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
No, no, that's not nice, burning you like she's burned
a bad energy.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, I don't think you guys do that in Northern
England like it's in Australia, is very spiritual like that as.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
My mum and Elane's lack of understanding of the spiritual
world almost then had making Katie the UK's greatest enemy.
I then reassured them that no, like she's not a villain.
What she did was lovely, but the chat and just
fell apart, mostly as my moment and then for maybe
they could take inspiration from Katie and embrace their spiritual
sides a little more often too.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, I just want the spiritual drugs, like right now,
right now, right now, if something could be some weird
creators I've been wants energy put her funny on fire.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
No sor to say to that.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And tomorrow, tomorrow this beach and Boody the red bush. Yeah,
we're having a big splash.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
After that we'll have a right good shot about life,
and then we're going to We're going to Bary for
six months.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And then yeah, we're we're rough traveling the world anyway,
We've all resigned.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And then as they rambled on, I did try and
circle back to mass you know, to get the updates
for you guys from the UK, but I'm going to
be honest, it was no use. They were drunk, and
then Mom went into mum mode and decided to try
set me up with someone I don't know, I've never met,
don't know what he looks like, but apparently he lives
in Sydney.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, right, Josh new lives that where Josh,
I told you that Wellington?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah? Wellington Paddington. Oh do you know what you need
to He's lovely. Do you know what you met with?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
It?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Is he Godlocking?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh it's God Loocking as well, Josh.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
