Speaker 1 (00:00):
This podcast was recorded on Buddy lung Land and produced
in Nah all right.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We're on.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Bring hey guys, welcome back back again. Yep, so excited.
Yesterday's we were leaving the studio, you were like, do
you know where a flower shop is? And like I
don't know, du why Like He's like, I'm in the
doghouse and I'm like, dude, okay, we're a touch on
this fucking subject. Because guys, listen up. Don't be buying
(00:31):
flowers when you're in dog counts.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
That's literally what I got told you this because you're sorry, Yeah,
it's not a stul like do you not want the
flowers or what?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, we'll take the bloody flowers, but like we also
want the flowers when you're just thinking of us, and
you're like, these flowers are to show that I appreciate
you all.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That, you know, it's more meaningful that way, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's not like like sorry flowers.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, but the lens that I went through to get
those flowers yesterday, I swear to god it took me
two hours. Yeah, a what they call a bouquet book
two hours. The amount of flower florists in Burley that
I've closed out or just like don't operate anymore?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Is mental?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
You know why? Because men aren't buying flowers unless they're
in the doghouse and they've learned how to avoid the doghouse.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, but do you buy like random little things for
Lockie then no, exactly, so just double standards.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Why can you expect that?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
No? But like I used to color coordinate his whole
wardrobe and like do all the house cleaning and stuff
and like do stuff like that. Like I remember when
we first met, I made this like past a dish
for room and left it in the fridge. I think
I've told this story on the pod. Anyway, he thought
it was disgusting and threw it in the bin. Anyway,
But I do. I did stuff like that to show
(01:55):
that I care. But he'll only buy me flowers if
it's Valentine's Day. And last Valentine's I usually wake up
to like roses or whatever. And this year, last year,
this year, I don't know whenever V Day was last.
I didn't get any Yeah, okay, I think it's in February. Yeah,
oh February. It was my birthday too, Yeah yeah, yeah,
(02:17):
I didn't get anything. And I was like, you know what,
I really don't care because they're going to die and
then I'm gonna have to bin them and then clean
the VARs and deal with that. So I'm like, I
really don't care. But he ended up coming home with roses.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
So literally, your definition of girls are just never happy. Yes,
if we don't get your flowers, you're not happy. If
we get your flowers from the dark house, you're not happy.
If we get your flowers full stop, you're not happy
because you're going to clean up the mess.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Was the dead yeah yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like,
you could have got something else.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah. Well, flowers were just like easy and convenient and
it was a nice big bouquet of flowers, you know,
but I also booked hijinks.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Have you been there before?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh? My god?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It is so is anyone restaurant. No, It's like it's
like an escape room. I've never really been a fan
of escape rooms because I can never escape.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That would give me anxiety.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, but this one is different.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's just more like lighthearted fun and you basically it's
like an escape room, but you go into a hotel.
So you check into this hotel like you're actually checked
into hotels.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
They give you your your keys, they put you in
the lift.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You go up into the lift, and then your key
and locks like six doors and every door is a
new game.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And they are so fun.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's giving has so much time on their hands. No
children may I'm like rushing to school pick up. I'm like,
oh my god, get their Forest is bawling his eyes out.
The teacher's like, oh, he was stressed, he didn't off,
he was going after school carelor not. I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
God, paying Like, holy mo, you're just having the.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Most stressful but relaxing afternoon. I'm listening to screaming children,
Bear's kindy. Teachers like he's a bit tired. And then
when I got home, I'm like, she wasn't playing. She
was right, She's very tired.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But positives. You're going through it now.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
But then, like when your boys are like more self sufficient,
I have like newborn shit in their pants.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, well, at least you'll have babysitters with my boys. True, yeah, like,
oh my god, I ever got But then it's also
scary because like they can be quite naughty older kids really,
and then it's like maybe a little bit of a
bad informant sometimes or like they try to act older
and I'm like, no, don't do that. I like stay little,
(04:34):
and like they're more like rebellious. Oh my kids are
rebellious regardless because they're a little piece of me, but of.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Babies and like young kids in general, like X me
out because like, I don't know how I'm physically going
to be able to change a nuppy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's like I can't even pick up dog pool.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay, this isn't even the stressful part of parenting, Like
that is probably the easiest part, like wiping their bum
which like poo explosions.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They're pissing up and explosions.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
My boys still can't. They still will go in their
undies because what they do is they get like fomo.
So if I do it too, actually toilet, no fomo.
Because they're usually playing with their friends, or they're busy playing,
or they're doing something and they're really in the moment.
And I thought about this the other day and I'm like,
hang on a minute. I do the same thing. Like
(05:24):
if I'm busy and I'm doing something, I'm like, I'm
not stopping for a toilet break. So what they do
is they hold on and hold on and hold on
until it's like physically coming out into their underwear and
then they won't put a nappy on because they just refuse.
But yeah, they just get fomo and just let it
build up and then it's just a disaster. But that's
(05:44):
not even the hardest part of parenting. I think mentally
it's more stressful because you're always worried about them. You
feel lots of guilt, like you're always questioning your abilities
and if you're doing the right thing or not. Yeah,
it's so much more than that, like you do not.
You will always be on edge when you have a
child because it's like your responsibility.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, you can't like relax. You're always looking and.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You're going to supervise them like they're so they'll get
into shit, like oh, you've got to be so careful
when they're younger. But I feel like it's going to
be more stressful as they get older because you lose control.
I mean, I barely have control over my children now
and they're four and six. So I'm like.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Going up like venturing and like their friends and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I'm going to put a trucker on them.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Target their pockets.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I don't. I don't really think that I'm a helicopter parent,
but I've been through some situations now where I'm like, okay,
I have to be what's a helicopter parent, like really
over their shoulder and always always quite strict and like
just cautious, like really stressed about if they're going to
hurt themselves or if they get into trouble or whatever.
(06:56):
So I used to be a little bit more relaxed.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But I feel like there's levels do it as well.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Like I feel like the parents that are really really
strict on their children, they just create sneaky children. Like
I would rather than my children just be like able
to talk to me about what they do when, like
even if it doesn't sit right with me completely, least
I know what they do when or.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
What they're going to get into, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Like, rather than like be so strict that they can't
even tell me what they do and then like I
don't have no idea because I feel like kids are
gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It may be kids are so naughty, like not naughty,
but they will test the boundaries. They're very clever. They're like,
what can I get away with here, you know what
I mean. But I've had the chat with Forrest. I'm like, dude,
you will not get into trouble if you tell me
the truth.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah yeah, and he likes.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Tell the most fuck thing. I'm like, did you do it?
He's like, I'm like, it's okay, sweetie, you won't get
in trouble if you don't lie. And he's like, I
did it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then you're like, get no, because.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I want that trust. I want to build that trust
with him, So I might see so much easier for you.
Just tell me the truth and now we can chat
about it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, So you're right, Yeah, it can sometimes, I mean,
but then also if you're giving your children too much leeway,
that can also be really detrimental as well.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's finding the balance in it, really.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, So anyway, sorry to cut in. So how was
this gate room? Did you find your room? After?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yes, we went, we went into all the rooms and
like we completed it around.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
We did really well.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But I just can't believe how much fun it was,
Like it was so fun to basically you go into
these rooms and it's like a different game in each
room and it's not like a hard game. I mean,
but it's hard for me someone were spelling, you know,
I couldn't even spell certain things. Really they've got and
it's like trivia ones and there's like memory ones and
it's but it's fun, it's but the words, the words
(08:36):
were only four letters to spell. To spell, yeah, and
it would be like what is something that you read?
And then you've got to get these boxes and like
put the letters in and the quicker you do with
the more points you get that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Next it was a buck.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Did you not get that?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Stop, stop, cow, you're taking.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The one I did get though, It was like what
is another word for trivia? And it was quizz and
I got that.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh see, I don't think I would have got that.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
See all right, but you can do it, and you
can do that to groups of six and you can
take kids as well, so the boys would love it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, you should definitely do it. And it's so cheap too.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Do they have a section for like parents and families?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And then because you go in, you go in the
lyft and you check in by yourself, so it's just
you any true yeah, yeah, and you can have up
to six people and it's just like an hour, an
hour and a half and it's just fun.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Like I would definitely say, yeah, it's just in surfers.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But did you stay overnight? No? No, no, okay, because
you said hotel.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, it's just like the design is like a hotel.
So where you walk in, they check you in, they
give you card, and then you go into this lift.
The lift breaks down and it's like all these lights
go off. The next thing I want to do is
that the virtual reality stuff?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Have you said that?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Oh my god, I did a TV show not too
long ago. She's coming out I think next month. And
part of my segment on there was I had to
do this reality sorry, this virtual reality Google things. I've
never put them on before, but it's like you're in
the real world.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh yeah, I've tried them at like time Zone there.
Full on. They're full on, like imagine a kids, they're
full on.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Like I had to.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
My challenge was I had to have put the goggles
on and I was placed on Google Maps, like on
the streets of Sydney, and I had to get from
the airport to the Opera house by somebody give me directions.
And I was walking down the streets and stuff. It
was mentally, I felt like I was in Sydney. I
didn't even need a book take to city, but I
was in Sydney.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Also, it's that real.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's not real, like you see the opera house, you're
walking on the street. I'm like, this is a madness.
How is technology advanced this much?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So scary? AI and all of that stuff is so scary.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I know, but it's like the best thing. Did you
use chat ept?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah? Oh my god, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Obsessed's my best friend.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I love chatch ept. Do you know what's crazy is
that my PT who I did my booty plan with
because I have a broody plan e book. When he
was writing it for me, he told me about it
and it was like so long ago. It must have
been like two years ago, when not many people knew
about it. Yeah, And he was like it's crazy, and
(11:00):
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't download it and
I've only just gotten onto it this year and I'm like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, it's a game changer with everything.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But do you think that AI will eventually take over
most people's un role?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And I feel like it's going to start dumbing people
down the town because I'm not using my brain for
much at all anymore, because why bother when you can
just ask chuck.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I know, like my mom, she's so clever and
she was obviously the generation before us, but she's so
good at problem solving. And then the other day, my
manager she sent me a brief and I was like,
what does this mean? And she's like, sky, I used
my brain. I put it into Google. I didn't know
what it meant either, because it was like an abbreviation
(11:44):
for something. And I'm like, what's that mean? And she's like,
I googled it, like use your fucking brain. I'm like, true, true,
But yeah, I feel like it is really dumbing the generation.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And I remember being in school and like they'd be like, oh,
you know, you got to learn your times tables and stuff,
and I'm like, I've got a calculators I can just use,
like when am I going to be in the real
world or a calculate that's even on my four note.
But now this generation, like you've got chat GBT, so
it's like a calculator of all like everything I know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But it's so I remember being a checkout chick could
be so embarrassing. Check out chick and I worked at
Macas on the cashier, but they took me off straight
away because they kept losing money because I couldn't count it.
I could have sworn, no, I can count money, like
I can count money. That's the one thing I can
do because I love money. But yeah, I don't know
(12:31):
how my tool was down every time, but it was,
and that was when it was being calculated.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That were you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But then it's so embarrassing, Like if it's glitching or
something and you can't do the math, I'm like, this
is so embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I remember working on the checkout too, and if I
didn't know the exact calculations, I would just be like
the better person. Just give them a bit extra just
in case, because if like I'm sure, changing them is part.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
If you like up change ump, it's not so bad.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But the company hates you for that. Yeah, but if
they know it's me, they yeah they well they did
at maccas, like, get this dom bitch off the fucking
cash register. You can clean the bins. You're losing my
billion dollar company two dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Did you get the sack?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I think I quit eventually, but that was pretty much
them sucking me. I was like, this is horrible. Yeah,
Mac is cleaner.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is that your first job? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Ah, what was my first job? Maybe my first job? Oh,
my first job was oh this is this is on
the exact topic that we're talking about, right, like how
the world's evolving and everything. My first job was easy DVD.
How fucking sad is it?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That means?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Remember how we used to have videos to put in
to the little video plays to watch a movie and
they were big.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Buckings, big black my grandparents.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yes, I'm gonna cry. And then we had DVDs yeah yeah.
And then I worked at the DVD store and that
got shut down.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh my god, I remember those there's DVD your player
thinks I'm in the cars?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Do you ever get them in the cars? Like the
music ones? Yes, that's mentally so crazy, like mentally spotify.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Now, think about what our children are going to live, like, oh,
it's so scary. How many jobs do you think you've had?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I reckon, I've had at least ten jobs, and I
think I've been sucked from about eighty percent of them.
And they've been such random jobs, like oh, like I've
worked in supermarkets. I was a fruit cutter, I was
a pink color I was a paintball instructor coach. I
(14:42):
worked in sales. I was a pool boy. Like I've
done a lot of random jobs.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And brought it up with me the other day. I
don't know who brought it up with me, but they
were like, I knew cow from when he worked at
the Collars, Yes, And I was like, I swear he
did tell me that in the jungle.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, that was like my like, I think, my favorite
job of all time. I I So there was no
like pool boy roll there, but I knew like one
of my best friends like runs the hotel right like
very close to him, and he was like, I once
want you on the pool, Like you don't have a job,
because there's waiters there that work for Helendica that would
serve people. There's people that give up the towels that
work for the hotel. All you have to do turn up,
(15:22):
look hot you can work whenever you want. Just chat
to everyone in the pool. And I was like, you've
got to be having a laugh.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
And that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Like you were, you know, in hospital.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, I'd just be like happening girls, you're right, like hospitable. Yeah,
I would just be like, what's happening and you're right?
And then you know, I just have conversations you.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Like do you do anything? Like would you have to do?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I'd be like, oh can I hep you and think,
oh yeah, when man to drink, I'd be like waiter.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh so you get you were like the call out
boy for the way.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But I just have a job description. I didn't have
an sp or anything. I just said you had to
walk on the pool. It was the best job. Only
that left because I went on Love Island. When I
came back, everyone knew me. So I was just taking
four ers the whole time. I was like, this has
becoming a joke.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I was like a mat and gre Yeah, become like
a meet and greet.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, But that was like that was one of my
best jobs. But my first job, I was a yeah,
a fruit cutter in Woolworths and I got the sack.
Because this is a mental story actually, so I had
like a good maid of mind that we used to
work together.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We see the same shift. He was young as well.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
He was just we were both like just young, careless, right,
and one day we were having a bit of a
fight in the back door in the load and dark,
and I ended up pushing him into this bin, right,
and it's like one of those big dust spin ones.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
And they're like the massive ones. Yeah, through him in there.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And then I get cold to go in the checkout
because it's an emergency thing where like they want people
to like help on the checkout. So I ran to checkout.
I was scanning all these people through the line, wasn't going.
I realized, Oh my god, Nick is still in the
fucking bin. Oh yeah, well no, because he was like
in this big, massive, the proper bins, like the big
big bins. I was like, oh my god, I've got
to get Nick out of the bin, right, So I
(16:56):
left the whole conveyor belt full of shit, ran out.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Back to the back door.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Sorry sorry sorry sorry, like got him out. He lost
his ship.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
And you know, like you know have like powder like flower,
I mean yes, and in the in the supermarkets you
get big bags of flower because.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And then you've got to bag it.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, like the big bags of flower because it's obviously
they're baking so much, right, So he grabs from these
massives like cement bag basically of flower, and he starts
spraying it all over me. I start getting one, I'm
spraying it all over him. We're literally white covered in flower.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Hilarious.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
And we ran into the like the daily counter and
like we're spraying each other with horsepipes and the flowers
getting all clumpy.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Meanwhile everyone's on the shop floor watching.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I'm filming him as I'm running from the shop and
he's chasing me. And then the next day we get
called in the office. He's like, what happened yesterday? You
had a flower fight all through the fucking supermarket. All
the customers have seen what happened. I was like, no,
it didn't. He's like, yes, it did. I was like,
I promise you we didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
He's like, what's this?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Then turn the mornings around and his video footage of
me running film chasing me, covering in flower, and they
to me, they were like, you've got twenty four hours
to write us a letter.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Why we shouldn't suck you? I said, don't bother. I
don't know what I can say for this.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Really, what was going through your head?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah? Did you not think I would just careless? Back then?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
You know, so you probably didn't even really care. Sounds
just like you were self sabotaging.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, I think I was. I mean, I did any
idea want to cut fruit for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, you were like just getting a bit boring.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But like even just like other jobs, like just not
turning up to work, Like I just can't be told
what to do.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You're the same, right, like you.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Just I feel like if people are like ruled to
me and like trying to like really tell me what
to do, it just makes me retally in the way
that I don't want to do it. But if you
ask me in a nice way, then I'll do it.
But I think most bo bosses these days, they're so bossy,
they're breathing on your neck. You just like whatever, le's
get a new job.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, And honestly, I feel like there's so much bitchiness
in a workplace. Like I worked at Sir Rufus Coffee
and it was just so bitchy. And the manager you
could tell she was just like real that jealous timee
Like she would pick on me for anything, dude. And
I was actually a really good worker. Yeah, I would
always be there if someone called in sick, Like I
(19:06):
never took days off work, like I did my best
and I actually did show up for that job, but
she would just fucking try to make my life help.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, I think as well.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
It's like a lot of people in certain jobs, they're
just like settling for the job because they just don't
know what else to do with their life, so they're
never truly happy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah that's true, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
So then they just put that like the ungoing frustration
down at you. And I'm sure there's a lot of
people out there that like hate their bosses, but you
just got to like put up with her. But I'm
not gonna I'm not the same person to put up
with it if I like it's my life, Like, I
don't want to be in an environment that doesn't make
me happy. So I'll just get a new job. And
I don't care if I get less money or I
got to try further. But I'd be rather that than
than being like unhappy in my workplace, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yes, so true. I was doing a beauty apprenticeship and
normally you do it at like a school, right, But
I got a job in a salon and it was
me and my boss because she owned this tiny little
sell on. Anyway, I worked there and we became super
super close, like she would just leave me on my
own to run the salon pretty much. And she was like,
(20:04):
this is great. I've trained her up to do everything.
I can just leave whenever I want. Now. A couple
of weeks later, we had this massive fight and then
I was like I'm going and she's like, if you
walk out those sealon doors, you will not ever fucking
step foot back in here. And I was like okay
and walked out. But I was like, she's surely not
gonna I'm like, how's she going to run the salon?
Like I'm the only one that notes were going to
(20:25):
get sucked? No, I didn't think that I was going
to get sacked because we were so close and like
people were obsessed with me. They would call up and
be like, is guy there? I really want her to
do my eyebrows? Like how was the eyebrow queen? Like, dude,
I was such a perfectionist in that line of work
because I'm I love beauty obviously, and yeah, my work
(20:47):
was good, and I'm like, she can't fucking sack me,
and she did. She was like see you fucking later.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I actually saw her recently too. I bumped into her
and it was after I'd had the kids and everything.
It was so nice to see her, even though like
we ended on bad terms.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, but it's like past that, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Like I always have so much respect for her because
she was such a good boss, and like we did
have a really good relationship.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well it was good.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, but uh yeah, never finished my beauty apprenticeship unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
But that's a big lesson as well, I think for everyone, Like,
don't burn bridges. Although I've been sucked from a lot
of places and I've quit a lot of places, I've
always maintained a good relationship with all the people that
I've worked with. Yeah, like I know, yeah, yeah, don't
burn your bridges because you never know when you're going
to need somebody else to like give you a happin hand,
whether it may be another job in the future or anything.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You know, absolutely, And weren't you doing accounting before you
went into the jungle.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I was doing finance. Yeah, I was doing finance.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm looking for her man finance.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
That's the reason. That's how you said did the job,
because I was like that song all these purrs, one
of mine in finance that's like six foot two or whatever.
I'm like, fuck, I'm halfway there, might as well just
get my finance work done too. Was crazy though, too,
because when I was working there, obviously people knew because
they think they posted a couple of reasons they would
get people would call up my line and it wasn't
(22:08):
even for finance, it was just for a chat.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I was like, bro, I've got a job to do.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's annoying.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, but it was good, and I'm that was like
one of the jobs that I've learned the most, because
like I feel like in school and stuff, you don't
learn that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
No. Yeah, you were spitting back like yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
So much about like finance and like you know, business
and everything there. And this literally helped me to this day,
like yeah, everything, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, it's really good. When your your first few jobs,
they teach you a lot they do. They have done
checkout chick. Oh that was yes, things like how slow
the time goes and standing up so boring in the
one spot like I can't deal like and at least
with beauty. I was moving around doing different ships.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, your customers, I think more customer forecust ones like
that like beauty or pet or whatever. It is like
you you your days gore quicker because you constantly like
talking to new people, meeting new people, and it's like
a new stimulus. But it's like jobs are just like
be be Oh my god, fries my brain like fry
is my.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Brain just stare at the time, I'm like wow.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And every time I go to supermarket now when I
see them like scan my.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Stuff, I'm always so nice.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Same but because I know, I know how it feels,
you know.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
But also I hate the self serve checkout?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Same?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
What the what the actual?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You always an issue with it, like oh, you're humbling
in the right area, or you un scanned the bag.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wait, not right or something like that, like why stop?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't want to scan my groceries? No, I will
literally line up. Yeah, and I want to talk to
this guy and make his fucking shift go faster.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah. Yeah, But I don't know if they think I'm
lazy then not. Do you ever feel like I don't care?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I know I'm not lazy. I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You know. The ones that I favor.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Don't want to scan my groceries?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, I love the ones that are like the twelve
items only sort of ones. So it's like the check
not the self serve, but not the big belts, like
the ones where you can just be like in and out.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They're like shark. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But the thing and that's annoying is they've only usually
got one person on checkout.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Now. Yeah, I know, I might calm on, Yeah, I know,
I want.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
To talk to your manager.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That's cost saven.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Did you hear about the I think it's I could
be wrong, but I think it's Japan or something.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Now they have these like.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Checkout dorms dorms yet, which is like a three D
printing thing right where you you have your trolley and
you put the trolley into the storm thing and then
the scanners know exactly what's in your trolley by the
weight and the size and everything, and.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Then it's to pay.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Okay, I can I can fuck with that.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I can with that. I just need to push the trolley.
That's so much cost.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
How can you trust the robot receipts? Oh? True, so
prints everything at I.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Can imagine my mom on TikTok. I might be wrong, so.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You don't know if it's an actual thing.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I might have drimmed it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
No, I think it is TPT.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Can we make this happen spring it to Australia absolutely.
What's another thing that's really annoying that's changed in supermarkets
or like just in general? Oh? Oh, I know, I
know I'm going to sound really old now, but the
fact that you when you google like a company, not
their number doesn't always come up. I'm like, I don't
want to go to your fucking website. I want to
(25:22):
call you. Surely they all have no And then like
sometimes you'll call a restaurant or something like please book
on lane. I'm like, that's why I called because I
don't want to do that online.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I don't want to book online, doll. Oh, I just
want to call human and be like, can you can
you book me? Can you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Bruh?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's what I went with Flowers.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh dude, I cannot with the booking online?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, not the one.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I just want to be able to call someone. It's
so much quicker anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Does anyone else where's the bags? The bugs? Its? I
got to pay for bags now, I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Really care about paying itks when I forget to bring
my own in because you bring will I don't ever
remember to, but I've got a thousand of them yeah yeah, yeah,
and like they're all folded neatly ready to go. Do
you think I remember to take them? No, no, I
do not.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, and then you've got to buy the bags.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah, no, no I do not, but yes I do.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Just give me the shitty paper ones that are going
to break even get a chance.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Thicking to the fucking car. That's what they are, the
paper ones. Yeah, yeah, they're ship Yeah, they don't last.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But better for the environment.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's bullshit. I don't Yeah, I'm just like, no, just
give me proper plastic bags. And also I'm sick to
the death of the paper straw paper straws, listen to right,
what's the logic in this? Right?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, you've got to fucking Starbucks, right, and you've got
to have a fucking sorry I need spanning. But this
is reving me and my gie, isn't it like they
give you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I don't hate the environment the paper straws we want.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
To save does, but we hate paper straws. And what
irks me even more is you have the audacity to
give me a paper straw in a.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Big plastic cup.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Sack the plastic cup, give me a paper cups like
an enjoy your fucking plastic straws.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Hey, I have a question. Why can't we recycle plastic straws?
But we can recycle plastic cups.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Plastic straws, that's the question for That's that Albert.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Easy, Albert Einstein.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
That runs the country, the one that runs the country,
that runs a country.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I wouldn't. Yeah Easy, we're gonna talking about Albert Einstein.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, I know, but his name lives on no I'm one.
He needs to sort out these fucking plastic straws.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
See if we googled, if we could get his number,

This podcast was recorded on Buddy lung Land and produced
in Nah all right.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We're on.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Bring hey guys, welcome back back again. Yep, so excited.
Yesterday's we were leaving the studio, you were like, do
you know where a flower shop is? And like I
don't know, du why Like He's like, I'm in the
doghouse and I'm like, dude, okay, we're a touch on
this fucking subject. Because guys, listen up. Don't be buying
(00:31):
flowers when you're in dog counts.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
That's literally what I got told you this because you're sorry, Yeah,
it's not a stul like do you not want the
flowers or what?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, we'll take the bloody flowers, but like we also
want the flowers when you're just thinking of us, and
you're like, these flowers are to show that I appreciate
you all.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That, you know, it's more meaningful that way, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's not like like sorry flowers.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, but the lens that I went through to get
those flowers yesterday, I swear to god it took me
two hours. Yeah, a what they call a bouquet book
two hours. The amount of flower florists in Burley that
I've closed out or just like don't operate anymore?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Is mental?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
You know why? Because men aren't buying flowers unless they're
in the doghouse and they've learned how to avoid the doghouse.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, but do you buy like random little things for
Lockie then no, exactly, so just double standards.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Why can you expect that?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
No? But like I used to color coordinate his whole
wardrobe and like do all the house cleaning and stuff
and like do stuff like that. Like I remember when
we first met, I made this like past a dish
for room and left it in the fridge. I think
I've told this story on the pod. Anyway, he thought
it was disgusting and threw it in the bin. Anyway,
But I do. I did stuff like that to show
(01:55):
that I care. But he'll only buy me flowers if
it's Valentine's Day. And last Valentine's I usually wake up
to like roses or whatever. And this year, last year,
this year, I don't know whenever V Day was last.
I didn't get any Yeah, okay, I think it's in February. Yeah,
oh February. It was my birthday too, Yeah yeah, yeah,
(02:17):
I didn't get anything. And I was like, you know what,
I really don't care because they're going to die and
then I'm gonna have to bin them and then clean
the VARs and deal with that. So I'm like, I
really don't care. But he ended up coming home with roses.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
So literally, your definition of girls are just never happy. Yes,
if we don't get your flowers, you're not happy. If
we get your flowers from the dark house, you're not happy.
If we get your flowers full stop, you're not happy
because you're going to clean up the mess.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Was the dead yeah yeah, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like,
you could have got something else.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah. Well, flowers were just like easy and convenient and
it was a nice big bouquet of flowers, you know,
but I also booked hijinks.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Have you been there before?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Oh? My god?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It is so is anyone restaurant. No, It's like it's
like an escape room. I've never really been a fan
of escape rooms because I can never escape.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That would give me anxiety.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, but this one is different.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's just more like lighthearted fun and you basically it's
like an escape room, but you go into a hotel.
So you check into this hotel like you're actually checked
into hotels.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
They give you your your keys, they put you in
the lift.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You go up into the lift, and then your key
and locks like six doors and every door is a
new game.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And they are so fun.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's giving has so much time on their hands. No
children may I'm like rushing to school pick up. I'm like,
oh my god, get their Forest is bawling his eyes out.
The teacher's like, oh, he was stressed, he didn't off,
he was going after school carelor not. I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
God, paying Like, holy mo, you're just having the.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Most stressful but relaxing afternoon. I'm listening to screaming children,
Bear's kindy. Teachers like he's a bit tired. And then
when I got home, I'm like, she wasn't playing. She
was right, She's very tired.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But positives. You're going through it now.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
But then, like when your boys are like more self sufficient,
I have like newborn shit in their pants.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, well, at least you'll have babysitters with my boys. True, yeah, like,
oh my god, I ever got But then it's also
scary because like they can be quite naughty older kids really,
and then it's like maybe a little bit of a
bad informant sometimes or like they try to act older
and I'm like, no, don't do that. I like stay little,
(04:34):
and like they're more like rebellious. Oh my kids are
rebellious regardless because they're a little piece of me, but of.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Babies and like young kids in general, like X me
out because like, I don't know how I'm physically going
to be able to change a nuppy.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's like I can't even pick up dog pool.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay, this isn't even the stressful part of parenting, Like
that is probably the easiest part, like wiping their bum
which like poo explosions.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They're pissing up and explosions.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
My boys still can't. They still will go in their
undies because what they do is they get like fomo.
So if I do it too, actually toilet, no fomo.
Because they're usually playing with their friends, or they're busy playing,
or they're doing something and they're really in the moment.
And I thought about this the other day and I'm like,
hang on a minute. I do the same thing. Like
(05:24):
if I'm busy and I'm doing something, I'm like, I'm
not stopping for a toilet break. So what they do
is they hold on and hold on and hold on
until it's like physically coming out into their underwear and
then they won't put a nappy on because they just refuse.
But yeah, they just get fomo and just let it
build up and then it's just a disaster. But that's
(05:44):
not even the hardest part of parenting. I think mentally
it's more stressful because you're always worried about them. You
feel lots of guilt, like you're always questioning your abilities
and if you're doing the right thing or not. Yeah,
it's so much more than that, like you do not.
You will always be on edge when you have a
child because it's like your responsibility.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, you can't like relax. You're always looking and.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You're going to supervise them like they're so they'll get
into shit, like oh, you've got to be so careful
when they're younger. But I feel like it's going to
be more stressful as they get older because you lose control.
I mean, I barely have control over my children now
and they're four and six. So I'm like.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Going up like venturing and like their friends and stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I'm going to put a trucker on them.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Target their pockets.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I don't. I don't really think that I'm a helicopter parent,
but I've been through some situations now where I'm like, okay,
I have to be what's a helicopter parent, like really
over their shoulder and always always quite strict and like
just cautious, like really stressed about if they're going to
hurt themselves or if they get into trouble or whatever.
(06:56):
So I used to be a little bit more relaxed.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
But I feel like there's levels do it as well.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Like I feel like the parents that are really really
strict on their children, they just create sneaky children. Like
I would rather than my children just be like able
to talk to me about what they do when, like
even if it doesn't sit right with me completely, least
I know what they do when or.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
What they're going to get into, do you know what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Like, rather than like be so strict that they can't
even tell me what they do and then like I
don't have no idea because I feel like kids are
gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
It may be kids are so naughty, like not naughty,
but they will test the boundaries. They're very clever. They're like,
what can I get away with here, you know what
I mean. But I've had the chat with Forrest. I'm like, dude,
you will not get into trouble if you tell me
the truth.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah yeah, and he likes.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Tell the most fuck thing. I'm like, did you do it?
He's like, I'm like, it's okay, sweetie, you won't get
in trouble if you don't lie. And he's like, I
did it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And then you're like, get no, because.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I want that trust. I want to build that trust
with him, So I might see so much easier for you.
Just tell me the truth and now we can chat
about it.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, So you're right, Yeah, it can sometimes, I mean,
but then also if you're giving your children too much leeway,
that can also be really detrimental as well.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
It's finding the balance in it, really.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, So anyway, sorry to cut in. So how was
this gate room? Did you find your room? After?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yes, we went, we went into all the rooms and
like we completed it around.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
We did really well.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
But I just can't believe how much fun it was,
Like it was so fun to basically you go into
these rooms and it's like a different game in each
room and it's not like a hard game. I mean,
but it's hard for me someone were spelling, you know,
I couldn't even spell certain things. Really they've got and
it's like trivia ones and there's like memory ones and
it's but it's fun, it's but the words, the words
(08:36):
were only four letters to spell. To spell, yeah, and
it would be like what is something that you read?
And then you've got to get these boxes and like
put the letters in and the quicker you do with
the more points you get that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Next it was a buck.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Did you not get that?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Stop, stop, cow, you're taking.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The one I did get though, It was like what
is another word for trivia? And it was quizz and
I got that.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh see, I don't think I would have got that.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
See all right, but you can do it, and you
can do that to groups of six and you can
take kids as well, so the boys would love it.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay, you should definitely do it. And it's so cheap too.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Do they have a section for like parents and families?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
And then because you go in, you go in the
lyft and you check in by yourself, so it's just
you any true yeah, yeah, and you can have up
to six people and it's just like an hour, an
hour and a half and it's just fun.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Like I would definitely say, yeah, it's just in surfers.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But did you stay overnight? No? No, no, okay, because
you said hotel.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, it's just like the design is like a hotel.
So where you walk in, they check you in, they
give you card, and then you go into this lift.
The lift breaks down and it's like all these lights
go off. The next thing I want to do is
that the virtual reality stuff?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Have you said that?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Oh my god, I did a TV show not too
long ago. She's coming out I think next month. And
part of my segment on there was I had to
do this reality sorry, this virtual reality Google things. I've
never put them on before, but it's like you're in
the real world.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Oh yeah, I've tried them at like time Zone there.
Full on. They're full on, like imagine a kids, they're
full on.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Like I had to.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
My challenge was I had to have put the goggles
on and I was placed on Google Maps, like on
the streets of Sydney, and I had to get from
the airport to the Opera house by somebody give me directions.
And I was walking down the streets and stuff. It
was mentally, I felt like I was in Sydney. I
didn't even need a book take to city, but I
was in Sydney.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Also, it's that real.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It's not real, like you see the opera house, you're
walking on the street. I'm like, this is a madness.
How is technology advanced this much?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
So scary? AI and all of that stuff is so scary.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I know, but it's like the best thing. Did you
use chat ept?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah? Oh my god, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Obsessed's my best friend.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I love chatch ept. Do you know what's crazy is
that my PT who I did my booty plan with
because I have a broody plan e book. When he
was writing it for me, he told me about it
and it was like so long ago. It must have
been like two years ago, when not many people knew
about it. Yeah, And he was like it's crazy, and
(11:00):
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't download it and
I've only just gotten onto it this year and I'm like, whoa.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, it's a game changer with everything.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But do you think that AI will eventually take over
most people's un role?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
And I feel like it's going to start dumbing people
down the town because I'm not using my brain for
much at all anymore, because why bother when you can
just ask chuck.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I know, like my mom, she's so clever and
she was obviously the generation before us, but she's so
good at problem solving. And then the other day, my
manager she sent me a brief and I was like,
what does this mean? And she's like, sky, I used
my brain. I put it into Google. I didn't know
what it meant either, because it was like an abbreviation
(11:44):
for something. And I'm like, what's that mean? And she's like,
I googled it, like use your fucking brain. I'm like, true, true,
But yeah, I feel like it is really dumbing the generation.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And I remember being in school and like they'd be like, oh,
you know, you got to learn your times tables and stuff,
and I'm like, I've got a calculators I can just use,
like when am I going to be in the real
world or a calculate that's even on my four note.
But now this generation, like you've got chat GBT, so
it's like a calculator of all like everything I know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But it's so I remember being a checkout chick could
be so embarrassing. Check out chick and I worked at
Macas on the cashier, but they took me off straight
away because they kept losing money because I couldn't count it.
I could have sworn, no, I can count money, like
I can count money. That's the one thing I can
do because I love money. But yeah, I don't know
(12:31):
how my tool was down every time, but it was,
and that was when it was being calculated.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That were you.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But then it's so embarrassing, Like if it's glitching or
something and you can't do the math, I'm like, this
is so embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I remember working on the checkout too, and if I
didn't know the exact calculations, I would just be like
the better person. Just give them a bit extra just
in case, because if like I'm sure, changing them is part.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
If you like up change ump, it's not so bad.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
But the company hates you for that. Yeah, but if
they know it's me, they yeah they well they did
at maccas, like, get this dom bitch off the fucking
cash register. You can clean the bins. You're losing my
billion dollar company two dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Did you get the sack?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I think I quit eventually, but that was pretty much
them sucking me. I was like, this is horrible. Yeah,
Mac is cleaner.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Is that your first job? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Ah, what was my first job? Maybe my first job? Oh,
my first job was oh this is this is on
the exact topic that we're talking about, right, like how
the world's evolving and everything. My first job was easy DVD.
How fucking sad is it?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That means?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Remember how we used to have videos to put in
to the little video plays to watch a movie and
they were big.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Buckings, big black my grandparents.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Yes, I'm gonna cry. And then we had DVDs yeah yeah.
And then I worked at the DVD store and that
got shut down.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh my god, I remember those there's DVD your player
thinks I'm in the cars?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Do you ever get them in the cars? Like the
music ones? Yes, that's mentally so crazy, like mentally spotify.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Now, think about what our children are going to live, like, oh,
it's so scary. How many jobs do you think you've had?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I reckon, I've had at least ten jobs, and I
think I've been sucked from about eighty percent of them.
And they've been such random jobs, like oh, like I've
worked in supermarkets. I was a fruit cutter, I was
a pink color I was a paintball instructor coach. I
(14:42):
worked in sales. I was a pool boy. Like I've
done a lot of random jobs.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
And brought it up with me the other day. I
don't know who brought it up with me, but they
were like, I knew cow from when he worked at
the Collars, Yes, And I was like, I swear he
did tell me that in the jungle.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, that was like my like, I think, my favorite
job of all time. I I So there was no
like pool boy roll there, but I knew like one
of my best friends like runs the hotel right like
very close to him, and he was like, I once
want you on the pool, Like you don't have a job,
because there's waiters there that work for Helendica that would
serve people. There's people that give up the towels that
work for the hotel. All you have to do turn up,
(15:22):
look hot you can work whenever you want. Just chat
to everyone in the pool. And I was like, you've
got to be having a laugh.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
And that's what I did.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Like you were, you know, in hospital.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, I'd just be like happening girls, you're right, like hospitable. Yeah,
I would just be like, what's happening and you're right?
And then you know, I just have conversations you.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Like do you do anything? Like would you have to do?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I'd be like, oh can I hep you and think,
oh yeah, when man to drink, I'd be like waiter.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Oh so you get you were like the call out
boy for the way.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But I just have a job description. I didn't have
an sp or anything. I just said you had to
walk on the pool. It was the best job. Only
that left because I went on Love Island. When I
came back, everyone knew me. So I was just taking
four ers the whole time. I was like, this has
becoming a joke.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
I was like a mat and gre Yeah, become like
a meet and greet.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, But that was like that was one of my
best jobs. But my first job, I was a yeah,
a fruit cutter in Woolworths and I got the sack.
Because this is a mental story actually, so I had
like a good maid of mind that we used to
work together.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We see the same shift. He was young as well.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
He was just we were both like just young, careless, right,
and one day we were having a bit of a
fight in the back door in the load and dark,
and I ended up pushing him into this bin, right,
and it's like one of those big dust spin ones.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
And they're like the massive ones. Yeah, through him in there.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And then I get cold to go in the checkout
because it's an emergency thing where like they want people
to like help on the checkout. So I ran to checkout.
I was scanning all these people through the line, wasn't going.
I realized, Oh my god, Nick is still in the
fucking bin. Oh yeah, well no, because he was like
in this big, massive, the proper bins, like the big
big bins. I was like, oh my god, I've got
to get Nick out of the bin, right, So I
(16:56):
left the whole conveyor belt full of shit, ran out.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Back to the back door.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Sorry sorry sorry sorry, like got him out. He lost
his ship.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
And you know, like you know have like powder like flower,
I mean yes, and in the in the supermarkets you
get big bags of flower because.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And then you've got to bag it.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, like the big bags of flower because it's obviously
they're baking so much, right, So he grabs from these
massives like cement bag basically of flower, and he starts
spraying it all over me. I start getting one, I'm
spraying it all over him. We're literally white covered in flower.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Hilarious.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
And we ran into the like the daily counter and
like we're spraying each other with horsepipes and the flowers
getting all clumpy.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Meanwhile everyone's on the shop floor watching.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I'm filming him as I'm running from the shop and
he's chasing me. And then the next day we get
called in the office. He's like, what happened yesterday? You
had a flower fight all through the fucking supermarket. All
the customers have seen what happened. I was like, no,
it didn't. He's like, yes, it did. I was like,
I promise you we didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
He's like, what's this?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Then turn the mornings around and his video footage of
me running film chasing me, covering in flower, and they
to me, they were like, you've got twenty four hours
to write us a letter.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Why we shouldn't suck you? I said, don't bother. I
don't know what I can say for this.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Really, what was going through your head?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah? Did you not think I would just careless? Back then?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
You know, so you probably didn't even really care. Sounds
just like you were self sabotaging.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, I think I was. I mean, I did any
idea want to cut fruit for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, you were like just getting a bit boring.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
But like even just like other jobs, like just not
turning up to work, Like I just can't be told
what to do.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You're the same, right, like you.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Just I feel like if people are like ruled to
me and like trying to like really tell me what
to do, it just makes me retally in the way
that I don't want to do it. But if you
ask me in a nice way, then I'll do it.
But I think most bo bosses these days, they're so bossy,
they're breathing on your neck. You just like whatever, le's
get a new job.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, And honestly, I feel like there's so much bitchiness
in a workplace. Like I worked at Sir Rufus Coffee
and it was just so bitchy. And the manager you
could tell she was just like real that jealous timee
Like she would pick on me for anything, dude. And
I was actually a really good worker. Yeah, I would
always be there if someone called in sick, Like I
(19:06):
never took days off work, like I did my best
and I actually did show up for that job, but
she would just fucking try to make my life help.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, I think as well.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
It's like a lot of people in certain jobs, they're
just like settling for the job because they just don't
know what else to do with their life, so they're
never truly happy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah that's true, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
So then they just put that like the ungoing frustration
down at you. And I'm sure there's a lot of
people out there that like hate their bosses, but you
just got to like put up with her. But I'm
not gonna I'm not the same person to put up
with it if I like it's my life, Like, I
don't want to be in an environment that doesn't make
me happy. So I'll just get a new job. And
I don't care if I get less money or I
got to try further. But I'd be rather that than
than being like unhappy in my workplace, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yes, so true. I was doing a beauty apprenticeship and
normally you do it at like a school, right, But
I got a job in a salon and it was
me and my boss because she owned this tiny little
sell on. Anyway, I worked there and we became super
super close, like she would just leave me on my
own to run the salon pretty much. And she was like,
(20:04):
this is great. I've trained her up to do everything.
I can just leave whenever I want. Now. A couple
of weeks later, we had this massive fight and then
I was like I'm going and she's like, if you
walk out those sealon doors, you will not ever fucking
step foot back in here. And I was like okay
and walked out. But I was like, she's surely not
gonna I'm like, how's she going to run the salon?
Like I'm the only one that notes were going to
(20:25):
get sucked? No, I didn't think that I was going
to get sacked because we were so close and like
people were obsessed with me. They would call up and
be like, is guy there? I really want her to
do my eyebrows? Like how was the eyebrow queen? Like, dude,
I was such a perfectionist in that line of work
because I'm I love beauty obviously, and yeah, my work
(20:47):
was good, and I'm like, she can't fucking sack me,
and she did. She was like see you fucking later.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I actually saw her recently too. I bumped into her
and it was after I'd had the kids and everything.
It was so nice to see her, even though like
we ended on bad terms.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, but it's like past that, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Like I always have so much respect for her because
she was such a good boss, and like we did
have a really good relationship.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well it was good.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, but uh yeah, never finished my beauty apprenticeship unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
But that's a big lesson as well, I think for everyone, Like,
don't burn bridges. Although I've been sucked from a lot
of places and I've quit a lot of places, I've
always maintained a good relationship with all the people that
I've worked with. Yeah, like I know, yeah, yeah, don't
burn your bridges because you never know when you're going
to need somebody else to like give you a happin hand,
whether it may be another job in the future or anything.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
You know, absolutely, And weren't you doing accounting before you
went into the jungle.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I was doing finance. Yeah, I was doing finance.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm looking for her man finance.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
That's the reason. That's how you said did the job,
because I was like that song all these purrs, one
of mine in finance that's like six foot two or whatever.
I'm like, fuck, I'm halfway there, might as well just
get my finance work done too. Was crazy though, too,
because when I was working there, obviously people knew because
they think they posted a couple of reasons they would
get people would call up my line and it wasn't
(22:08):
even for finance, it was just for a chat.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I was like, bro, I've got a job to do.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's annoying.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Yeah, but it was good, and I'm that was like
one of the jobs that I've learned the most, because
like I feel like in school and stuff, you don't
learn that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
No. Yeah, you were spitting back like yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
So much about like finance and like you know, business
and everything there. And this literally helped me to this day,
like yeah, everything, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, it's really good. When your your first few jobs,
they teach you a lot they do. They have done
checkout chick. Oh that was yes, things like how slow
the time goes and standing up so boring in the
one spot like I can't deal like and at least
with beauty. I was moving around doing different ships.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, your customers, I think more customer forecust ones like
that like beauty or pet or whatever. It is like
you you your days gore quicker because you constantly like
talking to new people, meeting new people, and it's like
a new stimulus. But it's like jobs are just like
be be Oh my god, fries my brain like fry
is my.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Brain just stare at the time, I'm like wow.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And every time I go to supermarket now when I
see them like scan my.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Stuff, I'm always so nice.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Same but because I know, I know how it feels,
you know.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
But also I hate the self serve checkout?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Same?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
What the what the actual?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
You always an issue with it, like oh, you're humbling
in the right area, or you un scanned the bag.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Wait, not right or something like that, like why stop?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I don't want to scan my groceries? No, I will
literally line up. Yeah, and I want to talk to
this guy and make his fucking shift go faster.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah. Yeah, But I don't know if they think I'm
lazy then not. Do you ever feel like I don't care?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I know I'm not lazy. I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You know. The ones that I favor.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Don't want to scan my groceries?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, I love the ones that are like the twelve
items only sort of ones. So it's like the check
not the self serve, but not the big belts, like
the ones where you can just be like in and out.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They're like shark. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
But the thing and that's annoying is they've only usually
got one person on checkout.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Now. Yeah, I know, I might calm on, Yeah, I know,
I want.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
To talk to your manager.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
That's cost saven.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Did you hear about the I think it's I could
be wrong, but I think it's Japan or something.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Now they have these like.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Checkout dorms dorms yet, which is like a three D
printing thing right where you you have your trolley and
you put the trolley into the storm thing and then
the scanners know exactly what's in your trolley by the
weight and the size and everything, and.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Then it's to pay.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Okay, I can I can fuck with that.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
I can with that. I just need to push the trolley.
That's so much cost.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
How can you trust the robot receipts? Oh? True, so
prints everything at I.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Can imagine my mom on TikTok. I might be wrong, so.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You don't know if it's an actual thing.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I might have drimmed it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
No, I think it is TPT.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Can we make this happen spring it to Australia absolutely.
What's another thing that's really annoying that's changed in supermarkets
or like just in general? Oh? Oh, I know, I
know I'm going to sound really old now, but the
fact that you when you google like a company, not
their number doesn't always come up. I'm like, I don't
want to go to your fucking website. I want to
(25:22):
call you. Surely they all have no And then like
sometimes you'll call a restaurant or something like please book
on lane. I'm like, that's why I called because I
don't want to do that online.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I don't want to book online, doll. Oh, I just
want to call human and be like, can you can
you book me? Can you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Bruh?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's what I went with Flowers.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Oh dude, I cannot with the booking online?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah, not the one.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I just want to be able to call someone. It's
so much quicker anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Does anyone else where's the bags? The bugs? Its? I
got to pay for bags now, I don't.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Really care about paying itks when I forget to bring
my own in because you bring will I don't ever
remember to, but I've got a thousand of them yeah yeah, yeah,
and like they're all folded neatly ready to go. Do
you think I remember to take them? No, no, I
do not.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, and then you've got to buy the bags.

give you.
Speaker 1 (26:55):

To save does, but we hate paper straws. And what

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
