Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, so, mitches, you know we are ticking off
moments from the ege and bucket list because we are terminal.
We are an end of life care.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Are we hope you've not heard the news Kate language, No,
because you know I don't hear.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm on a need to know basis shit.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Well, yeah, we've been diagnosed with you know, terminal podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, terminal brilliant, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Terminal brilliance. We are ending the show after five years.
We're ending on a good note. Mitch and I are
still friends, barely, but we are.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
We are we are hanging by three.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh yeah, the show is over. So we're trying to
tick off all the bucket list moments that we want
to do before we end, and having Katelne Brook back
for a fourth ah with me Bayes.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And that's partly why I was borderline harassing your gorgeous produce.
It's ash because I was like time's ticking, babes, like
we're nearly finished, and all of our gorgeous idiots that's
what we call our listeners, the idiots charming say we're
begging for another Kate episode.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
So you're here and we are thrilling.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I love it, but how sad and devastating for all
of the gorgeous idiots.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I know they really took it quite well to be
like me, and they were like, what we had about
seven messages going yeah, I guessed it. I picked it
six months ago.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
I don't know what they meant by that.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Can I just say, because if you have such a long,
glorious relationship you two, what's the closest that you've come.
You've obviously you've hung by three, You've seen each other
through a lot of changes with each other.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What's the closest, the closest that we've come to?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
A total schism? And car park?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Now, Okay, I'm still confused. Get my car?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
No? No as in massive choms, punch.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Onsh got your guards? Oh, because the other question were easier.
I tried to fuck Mitch, I think three weeks into
knowing him.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
But I thought I thought you were getting at But
I wasn't even going to ask about that. I mean,
both of you were so eminently designed, arable, and we.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Are we are sort of, you know, a mirror image
of each other. You know, me the masculine, rugged bear
and you which you're the delicate daffodil. You know, I
would crush you in all the right ways.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I'd say our hothouse orchard, I like that.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, they're poisonous to cats? Perfect they No, they're not.
I have to google every fucking plant that comes in
my home. Is it going to kill my daughter?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah? But why do you have a cat and assume
it's going to die?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Because most pot plants are poisonous to cats, except for
the ugly ones.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
They have a cat friendly ones.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Do you know what?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I love you?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
But if that were true, this continent island that we're
lucky enough to call home would be strewn with the
carcasses of dead feelines because most of them live in
houses that also have pots, and they seem to be
doing Okay, I think we're going to clock that up
to your neurosis.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
But you know what people online are like Kate, like,
I could just post something and in the background they'll.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
That's going to kill your pat But you need to
not care. I couldn't care less.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
What about my cat's life?

Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, you know what your spot on, Mitch, I was
in me good hair, Mitch. You don't have a good hair, Mitch,
But that's that hair is stunning. That fucking hair is
wearing you my friend anyway, But Mitch, I put up
a picture like months ago, and I'd had a massive
night with Peter Allen Lewis right, you're beloved, my beloved,

(03:30):
my beloved, And for some reason in the middle of
the night we got home about three o'clock and probably
around five am, I was hungry. I was hungry. I
didn't want to eat what he was offering. So I
went downstairs and I started fossicking around and all I
could find was, I think, a packet of chicken in
a biscuit. And the reason that I think that was
I had no recollection. I woke up in the morning

(03:52):
and then next to the bed was an empty foil
bag from chicken in the biscuit, and I was like, no, one,
don't say drag. I feel so dy anyway, So I
posted the photo as in like what about last night?
You know one of those I had no recollection, And
one of the messages I got was, oh my god,
I know somebody whose dog died by suffocating the badge

(04:17):
from the chicken in the biscuit. We should have been laughing,
because if no, it can laugh at that kids twofold one, Darwin.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yes, you Google that she's not talking about the city.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Survival of the fittest, but also the person that feels motivated.
That that is their response that they want to send
you after you've had a big night and you've enjoyed
an obisco shnack in bed.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
My response to that is actually just wondering how long
did the hangover last? Because I'm only twenty bloody eight
and if i have a night where I get in
at five am and I'm ravishing.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Oh, I could be hungover for a week.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Ravenous, No ravishing, You're always ravishing. You're always ravishing. You
might also be ravenous. And here we are.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
We always say some words.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Mitch and Mitch and the visiting bitch. They always learned
some words.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Talking to Kata is like when you bumping onto your
English teacher after you've left high school, but they still teach.
I know, coles into the checkout chick and.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
No, So, Kate, we're very lucky to have you back
in the accident done. How long did the hangover last?

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, so this is strange.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
I've never had a hangover.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
What I get very tired and I get dusty. I've
never had a hangover.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Kay, that is a hangover.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I've never had a hangover. No, No, I don't get
the heat and the thing and the.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
My record has never been solid, but I've never had
diarrhea ever in my life.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
No.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I tell you why.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
By way of illustration. We came back. We were at
a big party in Barron on the weekend and mad
for three four days. Came back Monday night, got home
at eleven blah blah blah. I got four kids sit
in there. I got up, atee them breakfast and went
to yoga at six thirty. Yeah, wake up whistling. I

(06:05):
feel whistling doesn't matter what you do the night before.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Wake up whistling, that is, you wake up whistling. You
know what I've started to wake up and do. I
actually don't know what the name of the practice is,
and I don't want to get in trouble for cultural appropriation.
But when you know, when you see a Chinese grandma
in the park and they're in the park and they
are like a Dutch windmill, like you're all of a
sudden in Rotterdam, and they just swing. They also clap

(06:32):
the body and they cut.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
The arm themselves.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Point yes, I think it's lymphatic drainage. And I've been
big into that every morning. And I'm telling you, where
are you slapping?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
We may not.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Let me point to the areas that I slapped myself.
Now it's in like this weather. Leather lymphodes are pit's
neck groys.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well, they were everywhere. And what does that do?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
It drains it. It gets rains them, drains the lymphatic system.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
And you different, how up do I.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Feel a bit slow in the mornings?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
You know?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
I do like radio, So I get home late. Then
I kind of sleep in later. So I'm up and
I'm kind of everyone's already started their days. So I
will Chinese Grandma myself and the soles.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Of your feet, because I remember I was doing that
for a while because I saw some Chinese guy on
Insta do it and he called it digging for gold. Oh,
you slap your feet the soles of your feet. Slap
him like I can't remember sixty times or whatever, and
he calls it digging for gold. And he goes, if
you slap the soles of your feet, you dig for gold,

(07:32):
you get the gold of health.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah. Hell if the magic of the bottom of the
foot I always see whenever I'm on daily mail. You
know those random ads. They kind of look like you've
been hacked, but it's also an ad. It's like David
Kosh admits to investing in this making Ramage puts an
onion on the sole of her foot, and now she's twenty.
It's always it's always that and those two people. But
everyone says, put a slice of onion on your foot,
put a sock on, and you wake up and you'll

(07:55):
have nothing wrong with you.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Have you ever had one of those fake ads next
to your name, Kate disappoint I haven't. Oh, I'll get cracking.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I mean, what if you were going to imagine a
campaign for me, what would it be?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
What would it be?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Because it's always something ridiculous, like Lisa Wilkinson swears by
these vitamin and gummies or something.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's always what you're known for, you know, like I
don't know what, but what am I known for?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Benders?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Apparently being an English teacher? Learn English?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Now I did google you, and you know what. This
keeps coming up because I'm trying to buy a house
at the moment, Kate, so I keep getting the ad
for your god forsaken house. I'm like different tax bracket. Guys,
I'm not buying Kate.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I think it is Mitch suring. I think you're really
playing yourself down.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Oh are you moving house at the moment.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
You know, we've already moved house. We're trying to sell it.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
You know, we had it.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
We moved in lockdown. When my husband thought we needed
a challenge. We need a challenge, we need a new house.
So we bought a house we hadn't seen because we
were in lockdown, so we weren't last Oh my god,
and so we bought it. And then it turned out
we didn't need a challenge, we just needed to come
out of lockdown. By that point, it was too late.

(09:06):
We had this house. Anyway, That's what's happened.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
So you lived in an ICM.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
We're living in it now. What's so?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Which one are getting rid of?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
I feel so slow today, Oh, darling, Mitch, I love you.
You know what You're like fifty first dates?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
What does that mean?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Like? Everything is new to you every single time? Every
day I'm like, oh my goodness, what is this thing?
I'm a chair that Oh my goodness, I'm sucking air
in and out? What's that called breathing?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
What's coming out of my lower parts.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Also, what's that sticker on your arm hair? Mitch?

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Look what is it?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I'm getting it layser off soon. It's a tattoo that
I regret from when I was like twenty. It's a
Lady Gaga tattoo. It's the most puffy thing ever.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
And I'm not the biggest monster.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I thought I was at the time, and I was like,
I will always feel this strongly about an artist, but
I just don't feel strongly about fucking anything in my
late twenties.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Course not. And you know what, that will happen increasingly
through your life to the point where you'll want to
get your actual self lasered off.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
You know, I've got to say, Kate, like, looking at
you here now, having you on for what the fourth time,
you have not aged a bit since we first had
you on the show, like us yeah, us Haggard beasts,
I'm thirty next year.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, that's all right.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
What would you say mit him?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
What would you say it?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Well, it's interesting because he looks younger at the moment
than he did like five years ago.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
And this I a grey you know what you've got
boomerang looks.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
What's boomerang looks.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
The boomerang looks is what someone said to me years
and years ago, is that those people who it's like
they're thrown out and they come back to themselves and
they come back younger.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, I get like Husy. Oh, like Husy Husy.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
His whole life has looked eighty too, and now he
looks like the bedst he's.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Ever looks usually looks hot. He was talking about margarine
on his Instagram the other day. Had a tub but
that was disgusting. The Nuttlex, the nutles, the nutlet into
Costco and he'd finished like a three kilo tub of
bulk Netlex Mitchell, it's like a buttery.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Quite like Nuttlex, of all of them. It's got a
nice flavor.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
I agree with the Actually he was going, I've mean
the Costco and you know, doing all that bit, and they.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Said, I'd never finish this tab and I never finish
his tab of margarine. It's taken how long it's taken
him eighteen months.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
To finish his tub of margarine. Of course everyone was confused.
But I watched the whole thing. I think I watched
it twice, and I do the comments I did read
the comments great for engagement.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, come on, it's kind of like people were
like seed oils, seed oils, you're weekend.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
By the time, see what I see what I mean?

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know what I did the other I posted a
story in my bedroom and then someone commented, going, so
nice to see that your house is also lived in
my mind. I'm like, go fuck yourself, that's still right.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
It means if you're you were messy massy.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Saying nice to see that my pig pen is also
replicated in yours.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I bet that's someone who's who knew someone who's dog
choked on a chicken and a biscuit packet, not the
actual person, because God forbid anything like that should be
for anyone.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
That'd be horrific.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
You don't dwell on that. I wonder they've got to
wind up five years of Is it just me?

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I know we didn't get canceled though you never did,
did you know?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
That's not me and Valvo on the buck up. Yeah,
we're just like the conversations we have. It's so liberating.
Sash our producer, as you know, highly highly esteemed. She's
always like, oh, I hope you don't get canceled like
how does that happen?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I mean, I do listen to your podcast from time
to time, and I feel like it would be an
appropriate replacement for our idiots who are looking for something new,
because it's it's that same inappropriate humor that we have,
like woke people, don't bother. You're probably going to get
upset because there was an episode I heard you talking
about how you're fully in favor of slut shaming, and

(13:10):
you wouldna We're going to have.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
A special slut shaming party.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
How that works?

Speaker 3 (13:15):
You haven't thought it through. Don't ask for details, Mitch
All it was just born. It was just sometimes you know,
you got to hang on to things so tight that
you want to let out. You know, in this world,
I get you. You did hang onto you know. On
the podcast you can just let stuff out. But Mitch,
I'll tell you where you went wrong. Good hair Betty
from Blacktowl. Mitch. Even if people hate you, even if

(13:37):
the wokesters, you let them hate, listen, Oh totally, don't
drive them away. Come hate listen to Katie.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, we're about to send an influx of our idiots
your way and they won't be offended.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Don't threat they must be devastated.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
They were naturally they were naturally.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
By the way, you never answered what fight you had
here too?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well, you know what, We'll be honest, we've had many
a fight, but they resolved themselves very quick.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
I was going to say, it's a really.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Fun you've never had a big one.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's kind of just especially when we're both stressed and whatever.
We're both like trying to compete who's more stressed, who's
more tied. Yeah, and then it's like, how about we
just be nice?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh, you like a couple with a newborn baby.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
Yes, exact, I only.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Had ten minutes sleep, only had eight minutes sleep.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, we do get into those fights of like schedule
and who's more busy, but we always know that that's
the root of it. I don't think there's ever been
a different route, you know.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Yeah, like there's no particular one that springs to mind,
which I suppose is a good thing. I mean, you
know what it's like, hate to walk away from a
very successful show just because you can't particularly be.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Fucked anymore, that's all it is.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, well that's right, And then you know what you
get to do? Have the reunions? Oh yes, exactly, and
the constant speculations.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
A speculation. Oh my jusy and.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
I are doing so many jobs next year, next year,
we're doing so many jobs.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I don't know he find the time.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I was actually wondering about that because last time, well
one of the bloody times you were here, I can't remember,
you were saying that Hughes is a workaholic. He could
not understand why you would give up the radio show
you did together, because he's like, what are you gonna
do all day? Yeah, he's currently not on the radio.
He must just be harassing you, going.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Come on, babe, let's get the man back together.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Well, you know he is still very busy.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Nutlets won't need itself, will it.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
That's a lot of spreading anyway, It's true he's not
as busy as he was. But because he's very he's
very adaptable, Hughsy, he's reptilian, yeah, always says like a reptile.
You know that he can survive and thrive in harsh environments.
And so now because his life has slowed down like

(15:42):
markedly that he's not doing breakfast radio now, he's all zen.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
Oh and you must be thinking, iye, bloody tried to
tell you didn't. I yeah, I told you, I know.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
But it's only for this period. As soon as he
starts his next big job, that will all go out
the window again. But he's like a politician, you know,
whenever they lose an election, they're like, I want to
spend more time with my family. Yes, you know, not
during the eighteen proceding years anyway. So you're doing that
and you're enjoying it very much. Oh yeah, he's just
brought a podcast fan. Oh what, he's bought a podcast fan?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Well, how does that work? Is that the same as
the slut shaming bus, Kate, or they're going to be
different things.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
You're very keen to get on this spark.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, I love a little slut shaming. I've got ideas
for you, Kate. Here's what I'm thinking. You have been
to New York or any big sight seeing cities and
they've got those big almost double decker buses that have
the glass top, and then they drive through New York
and then all of a sudden, there's a flashmop right,
there's just there's just and they watch it and they
take their photos through the glass. Will you and a
bunch of slut shamers can sit in this glass box,

(16:45):
drive around the CBD and just yell out slut shame.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Okay, brilliant. But here's the thing, and how you'll accommodate this.
I don't know. We are at once the slut shamers
and the slow arts.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
How is that gonna work it's self? For when it
works in the same way that I can go use
such a puff exactly, Mitchell, because I can, because I am.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
We can say the work.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
You can say the word, But then, Kate, you've got
to back it up with actual sluttiness. You can't just
say you were a slight and come to work in
you know, denim overall.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Hang, I wonder if I take my top off underneath
s on? Okay, all right, I'll take it off.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
She's unbuckling me overall.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
I'm unbuckling it. Hey have got an ex bra.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh she does? Oh my goodness? Have I gone on?
I say, pink, here we go, look pig, How did
you know? Beautiful?

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Oh? No, I can't. There's too much chop.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
But anyway, there's not the idea.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oh there's a bit of chop. I've carried for children.
I'm nation building, doing the work of the nation that
you two have so far chosen not to do.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
We're trying. We're trying.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I was saying not too long ago on the podcast
that I actually feel quite robbed that I don't get
to experience birth and being pregnant. I think, why the
fuck should only women get to dorough that?

Speaker 3 (18:04):
What?

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Jealous?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
You?

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah? Why the fuck? Why you know what? No one knows.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Actually, neither of us could answer that. We're not scientists.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
We're not.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
That's the bee in my bottle.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I wish, you know what, it's probably only hours away
until there's a scientific breakthrough and you can I agree
with you. And do you know what, there's a lot
of women who'd say, go at it, my fee.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I yes, bitch, go at it.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't want to give birth, but I think sometimes
like the idea of making a child naturally is very
appealing to me. I don't know, I'm just hard.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Making a child naturally? You mean, like with one of
my card.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
The podcast or author TV you're listening to.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Is it just me?

Speaker 4 (18:54):
I'm podcast by a couple of miches.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Now, O, Kate, I want to know, do you miss radio?
But because I'm at the point where it's ten years
in commercial radio, for me next year. Nine years on air,
and imagine you had this feeling of like Jesus like
to do a daily show. And I did two daily shows.
It's a lot. So did you get that like burning?
I imagine it's like a you know, an old old
candle melting down, you know, and just the clock kind

(19:19):
of just just it kills you. Do you miss it?
Do you miss the daily shows?

Speaker 3 (19:23):
I don't think I ever had that experience that. I mean,
you're just doing breakfast particularly you get tired, you know what.
I like the communion with someone and the exchange of
ideas and the exchange of energy and with the audience
as well. But I'm not a person that misses things,

(19:43):
so I don't really miss it. But which is not
to say that I didn't love it and that I
will in the future not love it again. And also
because now Nathan and I are doing the buck up,
that you just get that little a dream and shot.
I mean, probably why you guys are not enjoying the

(20:04):
podcast for with the full injection of you know, red
blood vesselshit once Scot is because you're both tired from
your other things.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Pretty much you've just hit the nail on the head.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's just what happens.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
And you know, tiredness or or the lack of newness
of an experience when something becomes a chore. And it's
not that you don't love it, it's just that it's
a chore to be done and to be sandwiched amongst
other things. You have a different relationship with it.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
You hit the nail on the head.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
It's not quite at the chore point yet, which is good.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
And you've called it before it gets to that exactly.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
You must be loving the difference between podcasting and radio though,
like you're quite fond of light duties. I understand it's
a lot less on your plate, right, but it scratches
that same.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
It it's just so so liberating and fun and it
still has and it also has a has more oxygen
in it, I reckon. And because there's no interruptions, there's
no there's no housework, there's no gend directors. Yeah, and
not that i've ever, I've really never had a bad
experience with them either, like really I've had a dream run.

(21:15):
And also because I worked with Hughsey, who's so alpha,
I think a lot of them were scared of him. Protectively,
you haven't even had a listening session in you know,
twenty years wow on edgecheck. Just yeah, we haven't had one.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
But that also goes to show you, guys, when you're
doing No over Breakfast and then Drive you When I
first started A Kiss, you were on Drive on Kiss
and I was on the street team and I hosted.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
You didn't invent you were gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I was a kid, I was twenty.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
I loved it.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
But you guys were so good. Did you do that
with your show that you like, you know, wanted to.
You got to a point and you know, we can't
make anything else, like like what we're doing. You know,
there's nothing else we've got to give, So we're leaving.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
No with Breakfast. We did only because we were tired
and Hughsey wanted to do more stand up which he
couldn't do with Breakfast Radio. And because my eldest son, Lewis,
had had leukemia. And that was when my youngest, the
youngest of the four, was five months old, so I
felt like I'd been ripped away from Yarny the little one,

(22:15):
so I wanted to have some time at home with him, right.
So we were both on the same page with what
we wanted to do. But I think you get to
a certain point, my mate, you know Timmy Blackwell brilliant,
He said to me, once it just falls out of you,
and you get to the point where as his you
would go, this isn't even work. When I said I

(22:35):
was going to easily goes why.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's not even this is not even work.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
This is just a pleager. Why would you give it?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (22:42):
And we got to the point where it just falls
out of you, where it's just so natural and so
that it really doesn't feel like work, except that until
AI catches up with us, you do have to be there.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I agree. Yeah, it's coming for us all AI.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Oh, isn't it? And you know what, I'm sick of
hearing that everyone says at the moment, and you know,
people get into these bas phrases. No doubt this This
was invented by chat GPT, which also I'm annoyed we
have to say GPT every time? Why do we? Yeah,
you're already training us to say things annoying.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Anyway. People say you won't be replaced by AI, but
you'll be replaced by somebody who knows how to use
the I'm not that's the same fucking thing.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, stop, just stop, just stop. You'll hear people say
it now.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
It's also so unreliable.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
AI.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
We've done a few experiments on the show, like couldn't
replicate our voice, and it's so far from being able
to replace this.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
It just gets it all wrong.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
I know. But we think that now. We're like, look,
that man's got six fingers, but that's, you know what,
an idiot. The robotsy idiots. But if you think how
like quickly that has happened, I suppose, Yeah, they're coming
for us. The sun has not set on us before.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
There will be a bit of an audio of me.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
I can't even say what I'll be saying because then
I will literally have said it and can't use the
excuse that it say I'm making me say it. But
there'll be something preposterous or one of the three.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Of us actually speaking of which sidebar, I've noticed on
the buck up that you guys beep the F bomb.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
What's that about?

Speaker 1 (24:18):
You're allowed to say fuck here?

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I know, I know when we say it all we'd
say it, We say it, and sometimes we don't beep it,
but sometimes we like to beep it.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Why what's the difference between a bleach fuck and non bleech.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
No, that's me.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
I just like sometimes to beep it.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah right, I just like their audio play of it.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, I think so. I think so. And also sometimes
you know, now Australians, all we can do is swear.
There used to be a thing that when my husband
would go to the footy, people would say, these kids
around so you couldn't swear. But now you just here
at the airport the other day there were two guys

(24:57):
in high vis waiting and literally converse and C and
F and C and then he's but they weren't even
being aggressive. They literally we could not say a sentence
without being punctuated by swearing. And so I think sometimes very.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Burning it is.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
It's me too. I'm super Verian swearing bear and with
my with with my language in lieu of the word.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
When I'm trying to think of the next thing, I'm like,
oh fucking.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Can I get fingers?

Speaker 3 (25:29):
That's just Australian.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
It's like yeah, no, yeah, is the worst interview Stephen
Fry last week and he said the same thing, and
he's one of the most intelligent, funny Oh yes, how
was about time he was brilliant.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
But couldn't you couldn't expose him to Mitchell. Mitchell would
be like, what, No, it would be.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
It wouldn't work.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
I wouldn't understand.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
It needs a bit of Mitchell, like oil and water.
You know, it had just stayed sort of but you.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Know what delicious salad dressing.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
I greet you so right, vinegar, and know.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
I'm being a Mitchell.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
No.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
He said that his favorite thing to do is to
say to say fuck. And he knows every word in
the English language of the Latin. So for that man
to say I love to say in the latter. So
if he is happy to say fuck, then all bets
are off.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, of course, and I think did I don't know. Well,
let's not get into the origin of the word of
the word fuck. Was it Shakespeare or oh?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
I know he invented he was balloon? He invented balloon?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Balloon?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah is a Shakespearean word. Google words invented by Shakespeare? Yeah, balloon?
Oh No, I know.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
I know. In fact, a girlfriend of mine has in
her kitchen a list of expressions that have come from Shakespeare.
And when you read it, of course I haven't committed
any of them to memory. But when you read it,
you're like, that's incredible. Yea, in everyday U see? I know,
you know, I'll give you one of them.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
I went down a rabbit hole of Shakespeare being gay
on TikTok and this he's a good amount of evidence.
Read that man's work, and I mean that is a
pool writing if ever I've read it in my life.
He is so gay?

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Really, can you give an example?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Created No, it's he's gain just just the the iambic
pentameter and the rhythm and the magic and theta. Thank
you you asked for examples. I mean, you know that's
forty kids.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
The stripper is here.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Off.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I studied theater, That's all I know.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
I don't know he was like Kate, I am bic pentameter?
Is that didn't? Don't? Did?

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Did?

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Like the Is that that?

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:43):
I can't couldn't remember what it was. He probably was gay.
And also, let's face it, he was in the theater.
Really but in those days where where the thrill the
audience would get was being seeing a boy dressed up
as a girl to see his ankles? What that those

(28:05):
people imagine them on the slut shaming bus?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh my god, you're in New York, they would, and
they're so used to throwing rotten. Yeah, it's such a medieval.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Hat.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
And I am a scold. This whole powered vehicle show
that I made rabbit.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
What fun.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
You know another thing I heard on your podcast not
only slut shaming, but I was shamed in a way
because there's something that you detest that I'm.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Guilty people who eat grilled fish, grilled fish. I'm a
grilled fish grilled fish loser. You know what. When I
was at the airport on Monday night, this guy came
up to me and he went, she had grilled fish
last night, pointing at his wife. I said, she seems
like a lovely woman. She's a loser.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Don't you tell just by looking at me that i'd
be a grilled fish eater? And also, what's your beef
with grilled fish?

Speaker 3 (29:03):
You know what? It's just it's not It's just I
can't explain to you what's wrong about it. It's like
going into a cell with John Wayne Gacy and trying
to explain, trying to explain that though his paintings are nice,
there's several deplorable things about him.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
So she said on the podcast, somebody needs to be
battered or fried, never grilled.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
No, no crumbed, crumbed or bamed or battered.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Crumbed is good. I love of steamed fish. I'm sorry,
and I'll stand by steamed fish.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
That's okay.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
What how the fuck is steamed okay? But grilled does not.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Question the logic of just the thing.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
I mean, I'm not because sometimes you know, people order
a huge steamed perch, you know, in an Asian restaurant,
it's amazing. But grilled is just kind of depressing. Grilled fish,
grilled flake.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
And I just can't handle the crumbed shit because there's
never enough sin nidgy between the crumb and the fish.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
They need to get.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Along, they need to stick together to cut them.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Not a word of a line. I made crumbed fish
for my family today. I went to the market. I
had a something you two have never had. I had
a fish craving.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
That was so fucking cheap, cheap shot.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I went to the market and I got some what
some what are that flat.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Head flaggage asses.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Took them home and crumbed them. As it turned out,
because I'm living with five students, so oppressive, they all
came out of the woodwork, all of them, and then
my beautiful platter of fish was gone. I had two
pitiful little pieces left.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
A crowd pleaser, is what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Oh yeah, great crumbed fish. I'll make it for you, Mitch.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
It was there synergy between the crumb and also.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Doing it at home. Do your listeners care about this, idiots?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, of course the idiots like this.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Okay, so corn flake crumbs the best crumb, superior crumb.
Never tried that Panco. Sometimes that might be where you
lose your synergy a Panco crumb, but it's too large
a crumb.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's a bit crumb. I love that. This is the
Kaitlin Brook legacy. I always see Melbourne socialites when they're sick.
Joe Creasy, You'll go, I'm sick. I'm sick. Christy Swan
Supers saved me. She dropped. She dropped off a metric
ship turn at my front top. Okay, Caitlin Brook is
just dropping off from grill.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
No, what is it?

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Crumb fish? Never crumb fish fish.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
That's your legacy.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Very hard to drop off, it is it is?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yeah, what do you make? That's good? We spoke about
it last time.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Or you spoke about it.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I think I've heard in the past you make a
lasagna or a bolig Knaze, or Valvo does so.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Valvo's mum lyan, you know, because his dad's Italian. Yes,
Giuseppe couldn't be more Italian.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
I'm going to say, did you fucking make that up?

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Surely it sounds like it doesn't. Way, Lean makes a
stunning ragu. Don't look at your fucking watch. I got that.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
No, I'll take it off and off watches off.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
It was that movie where he puts his grandfather's watch
off his ass, and it's I.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Think it's some war movie.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Couldn't tell you you're going to leave that saint.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Thank god you're here.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Vietnam PTSD that pad and put puts a watch.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
It's a comedy.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
We've not so sounds it. Yeah, we haven't seen it.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
No, I promise you it is. Anyway you're looking at
your watch.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
No, lady likes that I took it off. I listened.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
You took it off after you'd given it a good look.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
I checked the time.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Is did you realize your story was thinking about Guseppe
and his dumb rago? You went let me distract?

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Oh, No, it wasn't. It was actually not Giuseppe's ragu
So see those things, yeah, not just for hooking youth
sunglasses on, also for its Lynn's ragoo sh Anyway, she
makes it stunning ragoot.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
I make a lot of food.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
I'm always feeding six people, now seven, Now that my
eldest son's got a girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Oh, I would kill gypsy beautiful.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
John Wayne gaze what I said? Look at my own
come in my catsman with that chat GPT.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
He does turn this on me? Can I just say
every everything he said? Demituous, gorgeous hair, look at those nails.
You called me fat.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
She's also heavily implied that I'm dumb. Don't worry, we're
on the tame. I'm a boomerang beauty.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Five years ago I thought, who is this? Now you're hot.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I think you're beautiful. You've never been more beautiful. That's
a compliment.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
And you know what her gorgeous co host Nate gives
her ship. You know what he described her as He said,
you look like someone that would smell like a dog. Yes,
like you do smell like yeah, A look like someone
that would which I feel is.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Worse, so do I.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
It was the worst, and then he but here's the
beauty of him. He didn't even realize how horrendous that
was until I shrieked in horror. He didn't realize, and
then he tried to act like that's not an insult,
and then he goes, surprisingly, you always smell good. I

(34:24):
made everything. He was just like he was like a
man being marched to a shallow bush grave. He just
kept digging.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Yes, of course, Well, I think the issue that is,
you can change your smell, but you can't change if
you look like you smell like a wet dog, can you. Yeah?

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Well, okay, so he has a go at me for
wearing a lot of jewelry, for having a lot of
cushions in my head.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
I tell you sorry to interrupt.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
One time I was walking along listening to your podcast,
and I have my little moot pack on and I
was going insane, being like, what is that in my
bag that keeps chickling my Keith? And then I stopped
talking and the jingling continued, and I was like, it's
Kate's fucking wangle Pandora was going insane.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
By the way, Sasha French is here, come around here,
She's just and you know what Sasha French hates going
through security with me at the airport. All the bloodles
and some of them are really hard to get, so
you know that thing there are there's taking my epidermis

(35:23):
off with them.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yep, I can't remember what I just interrupted. What were
you saying, Kate, Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
He was saying. How Valvo insulted me? Yes, yes, yeah,
We've got nothing but insult.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
We do love Valvo. If you haven't heard The buck Up,
it's on iHeartRadio. Get it wherever you get your podcast Valvo.
If you don't know who Nap is, brilliant Australian comedian,
is very, very funny and you two together are fantastic.
We love it.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
And I did say before that I reckon our idiots
will love The buck Up because you've got a very
similar mantra to us, because we end every episode with
we just want people to feel at least two percent better.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
That's all just two percent, what's yours. It's similar.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
That's our money back guarantee, and money back guarantee is
that you'll feel better at the end of it the
podcast than you do at the start, no matter how
good you were feeling. It's really good because also, you know,
people are into true crime, into true crime.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
I know I don't understand into it sick and twisted,
but I love it. I love Case File. I love that.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Probably everyone loves it. But it's like then, the same
people are like that, it's too much violence in the world.
What do you think you've made it? You've made an
industry out of it. Yeah, that's got to keep turning
up those dead bodies under old floorboards or people ain't
got nothing to listen to it.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
And we're running out of serial killers. You know, in
the early days, I sug my teeth into Dharma. He
killed thirty three, and they go, oh, what about Gasey
killed this many. I watched on the other night when
he killed he killed two. I thought, I'll turn this off.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
No, that's right. People can't keep up.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
No, they can't keep up. It's going to happen. What's next?

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Look at your watch, tell me what time.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
I'm distraught.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
The reason that your gorgeous produce a sash is loitering
there is that cutting into your buck up called the
buck up.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
I'm so sorry. We should let her go, shouldn't we?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Hey, Sash, what was that movie where the watch up
comedy it's a comedy movie and he puts his grandfather's
watch up his ars or he gives it to someone.
Is it pulp fiction? She doesn't know the whites like,
I'm mad. It's like making things.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Aren't let me go?

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Why are you good?

Speaker 1 (37:30):
What am I googling? I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
But Mitchell's normally googling.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
He is, but he's protest Google, like all sorts of
unspeakable fucking things like big careful your algorithm is really yours.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Probably won't change, Mitch during you know, I had watch.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Up as anyway, I just had the war film in
pulp Fiction nineteen ninety four. You're right there, you guy,
the relate, relate relate.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
I mean, have you watched that film?

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Yes, you don't remember the watch the scene.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
There's a lot of that happens in that movie for
that to be the takeaway.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
But also I think there isn't a lot of actors
I think do that speech as an audition.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
As a monologue. I think I did it at seventeen.
I wonder I didn't get accepted into Juilliard. That's a
show I thought you would have done. Shakespeare O Fellow
see I am. Don't start me and give me.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
A little something from your theater.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Oh my god, Kate, this was so long ago. I
don't honestly the way my brain works and Mitch can
attest to this. It's like one of those one of
those edges sketches where like if I and a couple
of days is a good bump for me, and I'm done,
it's gone.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Hip wrapping.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
That's me. Yeah, that's me.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Once it's gone, it's only good fun.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Yeah, dog, we love you. Thank you for coming back.

support us in the early days, didn't she, Mitchell.

You know what. I love talent.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
I love talent. It's very sweet.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
I just think talent is Talent's not as common as
the amount of podcasters would.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Have you think.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
You know what I mean, But true talent is an extraordinary,
uplifting thing. And you two have it.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Oh that's so sweet.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Things And I loved my moments with you.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Thank you, Kate. So have we most requested guests to

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose.
