Speaker 1 (00:07):
It's podcast time. It's sure and Tell time. It's Mala
Monkey for your ear bolster day. Hello everyone, Hello Mony,
Hello Mel? How are you Mel? Great? Hi everyone, thanks
for listening. I hope you're having a bloody cracking day
(00:27):
or night, whatever you're up to. Let's just jump straight
into it. Let's go, sir, so yes, Oh god, sorry,
I always forget your fact. Go ahead, this is so small. Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Did you know that the big toe has an actual name?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Oh no, it's called Halex. Alex yep, stubbed me Alex,
short and snappy, short and snappy. Sometimes they're long and
we can go somewhere with it. But I like knowing
it's a Halex. But there's not a there's no conversation
to come off it. True. So just starting the podcast
every week with a fun little fact. You'll never forget
(01:06):
your big toes called a halix anyway. So last week's
Potty Maw we were talking about how a looh my
middle child's son got a bomb threat, yes, and how
it's so retro to have a bomb threat now, like
they just don't really happen at schools anymore. I remember
they happened all the time. When I was a kid,
or not all the time, but it's a memory that
(01:28):
they were common. But I think because we can trace
everything now, no one really does it anymore. So it
was quite I was like, oh my god, you got
to experience a bomb threat that nothing came from anyway.
Got a message through from Shane, who's a long time listener.
Hey Shane, and this is what she wrote. Hey guys,
(01:49):
I did a bomb threat to my high school back
in the day when we were about fifteen. My mates
and I wagged and thought it would be a great
idea to call the school from my home phone and
do a bomb threat for shits and giggles. Terrible, I know.
We didn't do a good great job of it. They
didn't evacuate anyone apparently, although later that night, when I
(02:10):
was sitting in the laundroom, I see three cops walking
up my driveway. They had traced the call. I legged
it to my bedroom and left my mum to answer
the door. As I wasn't the one who did the talking,
I didn't get in much trouble off the police. We
may or may not have dabbed in the culprit. Never
been more scared, I wrote back We had a little
(02:30):
chat back and forward, and I wrote back, that's so
fucked up, but it's so brave to have the.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Books get There's so many things I think about number one,
especially as a kid. Doing that as a prank didn't
make it sound serious.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well, obviously it didn't work because they didn't evacuate the
school at all, but doing it from your home phone
thinking that it wasn't going to get traced back to you.
But you know what, I used to do prank calls
all the time, not bomb threats, but I used to
block out my number eighteen thirty one.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Eighteen thirty one to take, and you could knock.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Out your number. I don't know. Do you want me
to try calling you now? Oh my god? Yes, okay,
So putting eighteen thirty one in front of it makes
it a private number, so I feel like it couldn't
be traced. I'm just typing in your number now, I
feel like it couldn't be traced. But also like no number,
no call. The' a tip for you. There's a tip
(03:27):
for you if somebody's not picking up your calls, eighteen
thirty one and then type in their number.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Do you know what we used to do. This is
horrible as well. You look back at stuff you used
to do and you're like, oh, it is a classhole.
I remember the kid's helpline. I think it's still around. Yes,
we used to call from the payphone in the library.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yes, that's class holes. It's so fucked up, but you're
a kid, so you don't. It's the same as when
kids call Triple O. They used to do that as
a joke too. I feel like kids don't really do
that now, but it's used to be a thing we
would do. Pick up our phone with the cord, you know,
(04:05):
plugged into the wall, and just make prank calls to anyone.
Or remember riding ra on walls raar and then putting
someone's phone number, ring a root, Ring a root, And
then we'd be like ring a root, Stacy, and you'd
put Stacy's number there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Do you know what I find really fascinating. This is
going slightly off topic. But we went away a couple
of weekends ago, just the four of us, and as
we were driving, we kept passing this graffiti that was
like this bird, and Mark's like it's everywhere that bird.
It's got a name, it's some it's almost like remember
how people would have a tag. Yes, it's like I
(04:42):
guess like banksy yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Anyway, so there's this bird everywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I wasn't across.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It, but I'm fascinated by how they can do graffiti,
like on overpasses. How they're getting up there.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I do not know. On every overpass says hectic graffiti,
like sometimes that big bubble riding and stuff like that.
I'm like, you're up there for so long? How have
you got there? Side down? I don't know. Imagine that
was your kid though, Like that's the kind of shit
that scares me because as a kid, you don't you
don't have that risk factor in your head. You think
(05:21):
you're like you do, you think you're invincible in the
just the dopamine dump you would get from like creeping
across a highway and writing on it. Oh my god,
it terrifies me. That is.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I agree, that is, and it's something you know to
legitimately be terrified about.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Cost week we.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Did stupid stuff, yes, because you're not looking, You're just
your brain's not developed enough.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I don't think it's not I even think if things
like that we would creep out at night as young girls.
I vividly remember being at a sleepover at my friend's
house and we walked down to the end of hers
street and a car drove past and I flashed my
bum It would have been about eleven. The car stops,
so we just took off. I have never run faster
(06:08):
in my whole life. I am like, if I get
a scare, I could win one hundred meters at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That was probably a dad that was like, I'm going
to teach this kid a lesson. He wasn't even gonna
hurt you. He's like, I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
I used to do stupid stuff like that, even like
when I turned eighteen and I started going out. Yeah, same,
like walking back out to the car or whatever. If
I'd had a few drinks, I'd like do stupid stuff
like lift my top.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Up and flash or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah, fucking stupid thing to do. Like.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Also, fun, God, we used to have fun. My god, funny.
It is like a thing that stops happening after a
you know, I think.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
We should try to do that more.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I have fun.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah. Mark and I were talking about this the other
day and I was just saying, we're not silly anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think you more.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
That's one of the things you mourn when you get older.
It's so easy to just then get trapped in the
every day, grow my routine.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yes, that's what I literally said to Sam last night.
I know it sounds little, but I said, every night
at six point thirty, let's get Odie out and take
him for a walk. And sounds like great idea. And
then the other two can stay at home on there
and I take. I mean, they can come if they want,
but I know Odie will want to come, and I'm
not going to make it a stressful thing to go
(07:31):
get out. We're going for a walk. They can definitely
come if they want, and I hope they do. But
I was like, the nights are so fucking mundane and boring.
They do my head in and I can picture exactly
how it's going to be every night, and that's how
it is like, and there's no way around it, because
you've got to do I do the school lunches the
(07:53):
night before, I do the you know, the dinners. I
stand in the kitchen for a certain amount of time,
even spraying the fucking oven top. Like everything is so
routine and boring, and then you put the kids to
bed and then you fuck. So you go to bed
and that's your night.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I know there needs to be more.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
There needs to They does need to be more, You
do and I but I think it's a stage of
life wherein do you know what I mean, where we've
still got kids that are dependent on us. So we
can't just go I'm not cooking tonight, or you know,
I'm not feeding them, I'm not even sorting takeaway. Like
you've got responsibility. So that's always at the forefront of
your mind. Sam and I still laugh at each other
(08:34):
like that is still such a gift to me, and
I think that that's been the one main thing that
has keep up kept us connected during the hard times
of parenting and losing parents and all of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
If you can't laugh, oh.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's that's a hard place, yes, isn't it. If you
can't you know.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Just like how I just said about going away the
other weekend, it was you know, it's sometimes such stupid stuff.
Luca wanted to play twister, A fun twister. Yeah, I'm
very hard. No on Monopoly, Yeah it goes too long,
but you know, like only did one round. But I
(09:18):
thought I haven't played Twister since I was about twelve.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, Twister. Odie sometimes well he hasn't in a while,
but pulls out Twister. But it's very hard to keep
the mat on the ground, like it gets all crinkled up.
It's annoying.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And we've got them one that Camart one it's called
Don't Fall Down or something. Because it was one of
those ones, I thought, how different can it be?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I don't reckon it's that different. That's terrible. They're absolute
terrible quality. But I remember we used that used to
be one of the games you would play at birthday
parties and just fucking loving it, like scrambling through people
trying to see simple. It was easier to have fun
as a kid, yeah, than it is now, Like it
takes so much more to get that feeling of fuck,
I'm really having fun. Fun is a lot rarer than
(10:01):
when you're a kid. Yeah, I agree, because you're like
majorly rarer. You get tainted by life. You do, you
totally do, but also the thrill of playing twister and
stuff's not there anymore, like it used to be basic
what you'd get have the fun out of, like climbing
up somebody's tree, Like, imagine fucking climbing a tree.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Now, I don't think I've ever climbed a tree.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I should try that. You should try climbing a tree.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think I could do it.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I think you're going to die never having climbed a tree.
I have to find a good one.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
If it's a big trunk, yes, Like, how do you
actually get up there? Like there's a.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Monkey up it. You just gotta jump and monkey or
get a chair or there's a way, there's a way.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Social content, I'm writing that down.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I've never climbed a tree, Okay, So moving on. Bree
also messaged us last episode. Mail brought up the fact
that people are now going to sucking dummies as a
soothing mechanism for just as an adult out in the
streets sucking a dummy, And I was like, well, if
(11:12):
it helps regulate, that's fine. I had a different view
to you, like, of course it would look weird seeing
a man doing it, but he's not doing it because
he's like fucking cruising in life. Clearly, if you're sucking
a dummy, it's not good anyway. So Bree message about
last week's Partty loved the pod Today took me back
to my high school days when we loved watching the
(11:33):
movie Boys in the Hood, remember that, and the character
Dookie or Dookie, Yeah, used to have a dummy in
his mouth he was an adult. My best friends and
I thought it was so cool, so we bought dummies
from Kama and walked around our suburb with them in
for months, at at least fourteen. Who. Yeah, but that's
(11:54):
I can see that. That's sort of cool.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I want to know if she had the you know,
although I don't know if your kids had dummy, but
my kids did, and you know there was the little chain.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But you put to put it to their top. Yeah, oh,
that is so funny. Baxter was so addicted to his dummy,
like so addicted, and it got to the point where
he would wake up about six times a night because
I couldn't put his own dummy back in that I
put all of them in a bag, a plastic bag,
and walked them down the street and put them in
the bin because I knew if I put them in
(12:25):
my bin, I'd be too tempted to get them out
that night. I just had to break the habit. Three
nights and it broke the habit.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's a moment of craziness when you did that. It
was like that knowing if I don't do this, yeah,
I'm going to regret it later. I'm going to regret
it a two am. Yeah, I have to do it
otherwise I have to do it to stop for a
future me. I'm looking after me now. And then he
got got over it, and then he started to really
suck his thumb, and then Alo sucked his sum until
(12:52):
he was so old we had to bribe him to
stop sucking his sum. They actually put a full plate
in his.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Mouth to stop in sucking his thumb. Shit.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, yeah, dummies are I don't regret giving Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
My god, whatever gets you through. But Odie didn't suck
his thumb or have a dummy, and his teeth are perfect.
The other two, their teeth is so munted. Definitely does something. Yeah,
speaking of teeth, I had a fucking toothache. Are you
not terrified when you get toothaches? Toothache or ear ache?
To me? And I go into panic zone because I'm
like fuck because they can escalate so quickly, and my
(13:27):
two front one of fake, so underneath they're like pixie teeth, right,
and they've got caps on them, and I'm like, oh
my god, the CAP's going to come off, Like that's
one of my fears of the cap coming off. And
it was hurting a bit into a piece of sour dough.
Fucking rock hard sour dough. A couple of weeks go on,
it hasn't felt the same. Anyway. I called the dentist
(13:47):
yesterday and I'm like, I'm really scared. Can I come in?
So I went in and he just shaved down one
of my other teeth that he thinks is pushing against
that one's got all my teeth are moving. I need
him visil one so badly, but whatever, Yeah, anyway, and
he said, I'm just conscious because I've had a root
canal in one of those front teeth. And he said,
(14:09):
often when you've had a root canal, because they get
all the middle tooth out and plug it with stuff, right,
And he said that it can split all the way
up the tooth yuck. And then you've got to get
an implant and.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
All like a screw into a screw in tooth.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And I told Sam, I'm like, what the fuck, Like
I might have to get an implant, And he told
me about one of our good friends who had a
massive footy accident and tried to get implants and they
wouldn't work. So he went through all that pain of
trying to get the implants and now he's got fake
teeth and he's fifty.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think, like I feel, I would feel more settled
with the implant. I'd be like, well, that's not coming out.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's screwing. I can't handle the thought of drilling into
my mouth bone. God, I wonder if they'd knock you.
They would knock you out. They of course they would
knock you out, but just getting something drilled in, I
just couldn't handle it. That would be so foul. AnyWho,
I the other day stumbled across something that was so epic.
(15:17):
I just love when singers joined together that you're not
you just would never put them together. Not that I
wouldn't put these two together, but I think it was
it was a shot. Wasn't the Kelly Clarkson Show. It
was some other show where I think that they like
highlight the person's life and interview them and stuff like that.
I should have got the details, because it would be
quite cool to watch this.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
She's got some pipes on her Kelly Clarkson, Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
My God, and also so does Lizzo. So the two
of them combined, I was like, are you joking? It
was phenomenal. It doesn't go for long, but I wanted
to play it for you. Yes, you're ready, Yes, I
do my hair toes, check my nails.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Maybe. How you feeling feeling good as hair hat check
my nails?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Kelly? How you really? I'm feeling pretty good? Actually, child,
I'm tired of the book. God, that's your showed us off.
Keep it moving. Yes, Lord, it's time to get some
newness in there, because when we're going to the police,
clean coming out, crown your eyes. You know, you a star.
You can touch the sky. I know that is hard,
but you have to try. If you need advice, limit,
(16:23):
simplify house.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
If he don't love you any more, just walk your
fine ass out the door.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I do my hair tos, check my nails. Maybe, how you.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Feeling God hairs hose check my nails? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
How you feeling like God's Hair's hoes check my nails?
Come on, baby, how you feeling God's hair to check
my nail and those?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Baby?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
How you feel it? How you good as hell.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Kelly was like, my Dick's bigger in that, Yeah, didn't you?
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah? She just took it, and Liza looked at her
like whoa. But I just was like, oh my god,
I'm being able to sing like that. I know, just
open your mouth and just that comes out.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You know what I don't like though, I don't like
talking in songs.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh you got upset then, did you?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Yeah? I didn't like the talking. I don't like talking
in songs at all. Actually, well, there's not many songs
at talk now. There's lots when people are at a
concert and they stop and talk during No, no, no, no,
I'm talking about talking in the song. Mm okay, I'll
come up with a list. There's more than you think.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, right, Hey, what's the last concert you went to?
M I can't even remember the last concert I went to.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I think it was Slash and Miles Kennedy, which would
have been Oh no, it would have been the last
time Guns and Rows came out.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Okay, a couple of years ago. A couple of years ago.
Can you think what mine was? Oh no, I don't
think I've been to a concert in you know what.
I think it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers and
one of the last time they toured. I even remember
what I was wearing. I had this yellow skirt, and
(18:21):
I remember it was all like all radio people have
been given tickets, and I remember standing up and feeling
quite self conscious how I was dancing because it's not
easy music to dance too, and if I should sit
down or not, like, of course, analyze the whole thing,
but it would have And I remember I had that
skirt in our last house where we used to podcast from,
so it would be six years ago. Oh my god,
(18:44):
I'll never go to another one, really, nut, Oh I will.
Sam and I were talking about it last night too.
It's like there's no new people coming through because everything's
so dispersed now on Spotify or all the streaming networks
and you know, Apple and everything. There's no like, of course,
(19:06):
Taylor Swift is huge, but there's I feel like there's
never gonna be an artist that comes through that everyone
fucking just loves this one song and everyone wants to
like Taylor is. We're not interested in Taylor Swift, but
it's even different for her. You know, when it was
like albums would come out, you'd know all the fucking songs.
(19:26):
Everyone would be obsessed with it and want to borrow
it and burn it. Like nothing happens like that.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's the same as TV shows, like there's no ever
real huge hit because you can watch whatever you want.
There's so much available.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, although my daughter and every other woman in my
family is obsessed with this summer, I turned pretty.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I tried it. It was too cheese ball for me.
I wish I got into that because a lot of
people didn't. I put it on our Insta and everyone
was like, give it a go, You've got to give
it a go. I gave it like twenty minutes and
I'm cheese ball and I'll I was like, this is
so farc and cheese ball. I couldn't do it. Yeah.
I almost wish I'd pushed through, because I'm sure if
(20:09):
you did a couple of episodes you'd get right into it.
And I was just like, oh, this is like weak coidial.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah nah, I've got no weak cordial. Nothing worse than
weak cordial. That's like you can get that at camp.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It was always so weird or it was so strong.
What's your cordial flavor? Oh? Red, of course, red red. Yeah,
what was the purple? No, the green flavor.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Cooler cola lime cooler and fruit cup?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh no, we never got a fruit cup. Yeah, what
was yours? Oh? We always had diet cordial. Yeah. My
sister still drinks diet cordial raspberry and something. It's so.
And also my stepdad drinks diet lemon coid cordial. I
say some funny, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I don't like lemon cordial. I like lemon flavored things.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I'm partial. It's refreshing a lemon, a lemon flavor. I'd
go like a lemon sawbet. Ohn ordered dessert. The other night,
we went out with my stepdad and I ordered a
pistachio gilatti and then I fucking hated myself like pistachio
gilatti because it was at an Italian restaurant. So they
(21:26):
got Tira massou and I got pistachio giladi and even
they were revolted in me. I said, don't even bother
tasting this. It was like this flavorless and just an
occasional crunch of a pistachio. And I hate when you
order bad. I hate the worst. It's the worst. I
like dessert for me has to be rich. I don't want.
I don't like the words light or.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It like a soup fla. I'm like, I'm not interested.
I want to feel it heavy in my gut.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
A lot about a Bomelaska. I love a cheesecake.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Cheesecake's my favorite cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And like a bread not brownie, I wouldn't go I'm
scared of dark chocolate stuff for my head, so I
wouldn't go near a brownie. Yeah, but yeah, a bomb
Alaska or like I would never choose a crembroulet, but
they never disappoint. Yeah, and the hard top that's breaking
the sugar top.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Let Sam get that and then go.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Can I have a taste? Yeah, totally always don't come.
