Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hi, friends, it's Show and Tell time. MALAMONTI here with
you today to talk shit. Yes, yes, oh.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Shit, I mean talk fascinating, interesting, highbrow stuff. What absolute
fucking dribble.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Our podcast is like just streams of consciousness.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know what it is. I feel I always feel
like it's like a phone conversation with your friend. That's
how it feels like to me. It's it goes anywhere.
It's loose, it's no structure to it, no us It's chaotic, totally.
Oh my god. Okay, let's start with my very very
very quick fact. Okay, did you know that if you're
(00:47):
in a foreign country, there is a universal emergency number
you can call, so, you know, like in different countries,
like we've got triple O, yes, but like America's nine
to one one. Who the fuck knows what other countries have.
I don't know one to one one too. If you're
in a foreign country. Apparently it is the emergency services
number that just directs you to you know, the local
(01:09):
buy ambulance whatever. Yeah, isn't that great? I think that's
very handy to know. One's never ever gonna be handy
for you because you don't get on.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Planes, so you're going and never made that. I cannot
believe you have a lot of life left hopefully that
you will never get on a plane again.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Look, i won't say I'll never get on a plane again.
I'm sure there's going to be a circumstance or I'm
going to have to. I'm also really mindful of the
fact that I'm really restricting my family from doing stuff.
Even though Mark went overseas with the kids a couple
of years ago, which was great, and I'm sort of like,
you know what, you guys can go and have a holiday.
I'm fine, which is, you know, not the point of
(01:53):
a family holiday. Yeah, you know what. I'm also just
not I've learned this about myself. Idea of travel doesn't
hugely appeal to me. I'm like, I like the idea
of a holiday. If you give me beautiful surroundings, a
pool and no tasks that need to be done and
(02:13):
relaxation time, I'm pretty happy wherever I am.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I hate fine, but like, I get so scared with
even the tiniest bit of turbulence. But the thought of
never yeah, terrified. But the thought of not being able
to go anywhere outside of driving distance makes me feel
like I'm being strangled by a fucking bowler constrictor or something.
(02:38):
It's so trapping. It is my control fear. Like I
know that when someone else is driving or you're in
a I mean if you're on a bus or whatever,
it's in someone else's hands, right, But the not being
able to get out, I would feel trapped. I'm like overthinking, Fuck,
(02:58):
we are in the air right now. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I know at this point in my life if I
got on a plane, I would have a panic attack.
And then I'm like, what's that doing to my kids?
Seeing that? Then they have this weird attachment to it.
So I'm just steering from there.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Quite a few phobias there. It's a very common one.
Fear of flying, though you can overcome. Makes sense, It
totally makes sense.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't care what the stats are. Stuff still happens anyway.
You last week, I said, talking about Adam Hyde, what's
his callie Holiday who goes out with Abby Chatfield a
part of Peaking Duck and I I think it came
(03:42):
up our Abby's mum's on there on the Golden Bachelor.
But we were talking about age and you were saying how
he's one of those people that you just wouldn't know
what his age is. I mistakenly said he could be
our age. He turns out I'm wrong because you said.
I'll pop the grabbing here of what you said.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Okay, I know, abby, thirdy, I'm like, well, how old
Adam is? Like, he could be any age if you
could be anyway. I looked it up nowhere you cannot
find his age anywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, I'm going to find it, okay, y yep.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I looked it up and it said his age is
not available anywhere. He was started Peaking Duck in twenty ten,
so you can kind of guess his age, they're saying,
but it's just not anywhere on the internet now.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I messaged the other day and said, you would be
the worst private investigator of all time. When I put
in how old is Adam Hyde from Peaking Duck, it
was the first thing that came up and AI in Google.
My in Google, Yes, but the AI overview bit And
then I was like, no, maybe that's wrong. She was
(04:52):
pretty pretty certain that it's so hard to find. Yes.
Then I found a podcast episode and I looked at
the transfer gripped where he referenced I just turned thirty
and it was in like twenty twenty one or something.
So he's like thirty four.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
My AI literally and Google said, Adams, it's an undisclosed age.
And that's what I was shocked. I was like, how
can somebody publicly keep their age hidden? So why did
it not show up for me? And it showed up
for you because I did check several races clearly, not thoroughly,
and not that many. I probably did just check the
(05:29):
AI that came up when you Google, but it's still said, well,
it's it's not anywhere to be found.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, just don't you know, don't change your job in too,
don't ever become a private investigator. I'll say, I think
he's thirty four in case that's been keeping you up
at night, guys, okay, alright, thirty four. Yeah, he's younger
than I thought. Yeah. I had a lot of skin cancer.
I realized too, had a dog. Yeah. Yeah, I was
just thinking of something that just came into my mind
right now. That is, you know, not very topical, but
(05:58):
you know, Selena Gomez recently got married. Yes, people were
talking about how Taylor Swift had done like a video
of her on her phone, like getting ready in the
morning because they're like besties or something apparently. And in
one of the clips you see Selena she had a
vape and she like sort of put it down or whatever. Right,
find no judgment. The issue was her friend who gave
(06:24):
her her kidney. Oh yes, yes, yes, that sort of
dilemma of if I've taken this part out of my
body so you can live, yes, should you be vaping?
Like is no?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
A day had to fall out those plays too. I
think they've just slowly rekindled how fucking hectic to give
a body part to somebody and then have.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
A falling out.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
She wasn't invited to the wedding well, so they're definitely
very distant then. But yeah, you would be polidly protect
your body. I had an operation for you, so protect
your body. Yeah, I'd be kissed. If I saw somebody
smoking or just getting wasted on my body part.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It'd be like, you know what, It's like the equivalent
of you lend someone money because I say they've got
no money, and then they're posting on Instagram they're going
out for fancy dinners, and you'd be, yes, give me
my fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yes, totally, totally, Yeah, that would be. That would bother
me as well. I wonder what went on with the
friend as well, because that would happen. You would have
been lifelong friends. To give someone your kidney.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Just think of how much shit you'd be willing to
put up with because you'd just been in the back
of your mind all the time. Or she did give me,
She did give me that. She did the biggest thing
you can do. Yeah, yeah, I can overlook that. Hey,
I thought this the other day. A friend in primary
school didn't get an spree top because her mum got
(07:47):
a plane top. And I know you've seld spree into it.
I don't know why it came up in my thoughts,
but I used to love those spree tops, you know,
in like similar to the sports Girl one where have
the name across it. And it made me think, is
spree is still a thing? Spree? How weird when you
say it over and over does it sound spree? It
(08:09):
was huge. I wonder if that means spirit in French.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Look it up on your AI, because clearly mine does
not work.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I'm going to look it up. You just had everyone.
I had a green one. It was just that colored lettering. Yeah,
with the e that has no no side, yes, no sideline.
I had a green one I think with white writing
on it or something, fuck it, and it was so pricey.
I used to love it. Like I used to if
we'd go into the city, it'd be like, let's go
(08:38):
to the body shop in Spree. Okay. Espree means the
quality of being lively, vivacious or witty. Okay, so I
guess it's like a bit aspirational. It was so cool
to have Spree. I had an Spree tracksuit once and
we were in a four tracksuit. How to track Spree tracksuit?
Pink one. Espree is no longer in Australia. The brand
(09:00):
sees physical operations in twenty eighteen. No longer operating physical stores.
Some online retail channels may still be available for customers.
You know that would be good. Get just a vintage
Espretation shirt. You know a brand that's like that too.
Funnily enough, Mark has this shirt, this navy blue shirt.
(09:23):
It's just a plain navy blue shirt that he bought
when he went overseas. I reckon it was two thousand
and one. Remember United Colors of Beneton. Yes, a Benetton shirt,
I say to him. It's like that movie, you know,
that movie, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, where they
have this one pair of jeans and it fits all
for friends, and they've all got different body shapes, but
(09:44):
these jeans fit them all perfectly. This shirt, it doesn't
matter how much weight he's put on, how much weight
he's dropped, it just always fits in perfectly. Right. It's
like the shirt. And the other day I did think
I wonder if On's still around. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I remember when I used to work at Melbourne Central
and there was the colors of Benetton shot there. Again,
I never had anything like that. Good on him for
scoring something that was really lifelong, because two thousand and one,
did you say.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It hasn't even faded? Wow? Can I tell you? It's
like he almost wears it every time we go out.
It's like uniform. It's a fancy shirt. Yeah, which it's
a shirt. Yes, it's not like a Flanelette shirt. It's
just a plain navy shirt. It's a dinner shirt. Yeah.
I guess, like if you're going out, No, you wouldn't
wear a tie with it.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
No, I know exactly what you mean. Sam's got those
like the short sleeve shirt that's like, Oh, we're going
out for dinner or we're going to a friend's for
a barbecue, and it's like just.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
To step up from a T shirt. Yes, I really
like a rolled up sleeve on a shirt on a guy.
Oh do you? I like just a like a casual
roll to see the forum, even though the forum is
apparently a big thing for a lot of people, not
so much form like seeing it and like when he
drives and I look at the forearm, I'm like, Okay,
(11:06):
looks nice.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I hate it's a very private school boy thing to
do to wear a shirt with like khaki shorts. Do
you know that look where it might be a light
summer shirt rolled up with khaki shorts shorts?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Are we talking? The color? Like? Yeah, no not Cahki
is like a brownie color, like a brownie green, yes,
I guess yeah, no, no, no, a light brown like
a beiji. Now we're going to fight about this, Okayie,
he's dark green. It's green, isn't it. I think it's
like if you were going to combine green and brown,
(11:44):
that's what you get. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Anyway that kind of looked to me. I'm like, oh,
you're so rich in Italy with your rolled up shirts,
and that's what I think of when I think of
rolled up shirts.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh then, how what else do you do with them? Then?
Just leave them long? I guess so, so I see
Sam never wear so I don't know, but see, I
feel like that about a guy in a short sleeve shirt.
They are different. Like a short sleeve shirt that's slightly
fitted is fine a short sleeve shirt and a guy
that has a loose arm yeah your dad, yeah, yeah,
(12:20):
your dad. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
My par used to wear loose armed shirts like it's
an older man thing to do. Anyway, I've got another
question for you. So in terms of like getting back
to text messages, obviously, if they're your good friends, you
can reply immediately, right Like, I don't mind holding it
open even so the dots are there for people to see.
(12:43):
I'm waiting for your text to come.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Anxiety, the anxiety I get around that, now, do you
when you can see that people are holding on just
that I'm aware. It's like on WhatsApp right yea. With
my other job, there's lots of WhatsApp groups on the go.
I hate that there's no privacy. You can see that
other people are online. Then I'm like, I'm taking too
(13:05):
long to respond, and then it just becomes a whole thing,
and then I see them fade away that they're probably
they know, waiting for you. That is so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But it's more like, I don't know, just I can't
even think of an example of somebody, but say, like
this is the example that comes to mind, Like Alo's
made some new friends at school. So then if one
of the mums text me about something, it's almost like,
don't be too keen, don't be like sitting on your
phone and just quickly get back to them. That's probably
(13:39):
not the best example, but there are examples where I'm like,
don't get back like within a second, because that's so keeno,
which I know is what a lot of people do
when they're first getting into a relationship. But sometimes I
do that with people who message through. Now I'm like,
I should wait a second because it just looks like
I've got nothing going on and I've got it in
my hand and I'm desperate get back to you.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Funnily enough, I've never thought of that.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, that's because that's clearly an anxiety kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I know, because I would assume if they answer me
back straight away the timing they've just got their phone
in their hand at that time, which is exactly the case.
I think. I know. I'll speak for myself. It's sometimes
good to strike while the iron's hot. Otherwise I forget,
get and then I go to message someone something and
then I look, Oh fuck, they messaged me two months ago,
(14:27):
and you look like an asshole? Yeah, totally. Do you
know what is the equivalent to what you just said?
But in the olden days, I remember I worked for
a guy once back when like there were landlines. Oh yeah,
you used to always let the phone ring three times
before he answered it. It was like three was this
magic number that you're not so keen that you're sitting
(14:49):
by the phone, but you're not going to make them
wait too long either. Funny.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, yeah, see, I get it. I totally get it.
Yeah that's so funny. Okay, question how late do you
have to be running to warrant a text message? Okay,
you're going to say you're going out to eat? Is
that food involved? Is the main thing I would consider here?
I think, Yeah, I think I think all the situations
(15:17):
are like picking up your kid from a friend's house,
you're meeting people for dinner. I think in any situation
that you have made a plan with somebody, how late.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
If do you text because.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You like you and I are always late, but you
were seven minutes late this morning and I'm like over
five minutes warrants a text?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, I think if I am knowing someone is relying
on me for something like not obviously today is not
an example, but like, if I'm going out for dinner
and I'm always late, I will probably text when I'm
leaving home, which is probably already fifteen minutes late. Yeah,
(16:01):
I'm just so like, it is such a chronic thing. Yeah,
I know, but I'll take also smart eating or get appetizers.
I know what you're gonna say, Yeah, you need to
plan your time better.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No, no, no, no, I'm saying it's such an ADHD thing.
Time blindness is so real and because people run late,
they don't actually get that it's a real thing. Like
this morning, I had to drop l Oh to school
by seven point thirty. It's half hour away. At seven o'clock.
I dropped past to get a coffee on the way,
(16:33):
so of course then we're running ten to fifteen minutes late.
But in my head, I can do it all. I
can somehow beat the time.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, I've got half an hour. Yeah, but then you
look at the clock and it's like, oh my god,
I've got five minutes. Mine is more that I feel
I can fit too many things into that time. I
don't allocate enough time to the tasks I think I
can get it done, and then I end up putting
myself under so much pressure. It is so unbelievably real
(17:02):
where Sam would just absolutely not do that, like that
wouldn't be a thing. He would be able to time
everything perfectly and go, well, no, I can't get all
of that shit done in twenty minutes before we have
to leave. But for me, I don't register it almost Yeah.
And I also hate it because it makes you look
like such an asshole, like you don't value people your
time that's more important than other people's. Yeah. Yeah, And
(17:24):
I know that there's a thing that it's like within
very close friends and family, it's almost this given that
Melissa's just going to be late. Yeah, okay, And I
hate that because I'm like, I'm such a flake, and
if I ever rock up somewhere on time, everyone's like
oh my god, listen not early.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Being early is foul. But what do you think is
the amount of time to warranty text? I would if
my kid is at someone else's house. Yeap, it would
be I can foresee, Okay, I'm going to be ten
minutes late. I would send a text before I'm late.
I'd be like, foreseeing, I'm sorry, I'm probably going to
be ten minutes. Yeah, I picking up a kid situation,
(18:04):
I would be late for dinner.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
For dinner, I reckon. Oh look, I don't know in
terms of minutes, maybe ten minutes, and I would be
like ten or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Fifteen way too long. Fifteen absolutely warrants a text before that.
fIF telling a friend when you go somewhere, like let's
say you're meeting at a restaurant. Yeah, fifteen minutes is
sitting down.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh my god, how's it going, Bob? What would you do? Then?
Order a drink straight away? Fifteen minutes? Wait to do that? No,
does that? I don't know if it's if I waiting
on eating, yes, but the niceties of oh, let's have
a drink. Oh, when I get there, I'll order a
drink or whatever, or I'll shoot a text and go.
If you guys are getting starters, just go ahead. And
(18:53):
you know, fifteen minutes to me is too long. I
would if I was five, mine would be five minutes.
Mine's I reckon. Five minutes longer than that, it would
be it be a sorry, I'm running late. We're only
another five minutes. So that breaks the rudeness of the
ten minute lateness in me. Yeah, yeah, it's a five minute.
(19:17):
It's a five minute max, I reckon. I almost feel
like I want to say to people, if you're organizing
a dinner and you tell me what time it is,
please tell me half our half an hour yeah, half
hour yes, half hour earlier? Okay, raw, interesting you let
us know you're interesting. How how late is the text?
It is a very flaky, flaky looking I don't think
(19:40):
it is.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I think it is people like, no one's deliberately running late.
But I think it's a courtesy thing to if you
were running later than five minutes to let them know
five minutes, yeah, five.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Minutes, five minutes to me? Who's not running five minutes late? No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, people aren't like I definitely, I definitely think five.
If you're over five minutes, you have to message for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Let us know. Let's say let's say you're five, I'm
ten ten so arrogant? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
What Yeah, even though I know that you can't really
help it, you can maybe sorry, maybe ten's the max.
Fifteen is insane, Like you're thinking you can get away
with fifteen minutes without a text is stupid?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, if you're meeting out, yeah, a text, definitely a
text at fifteen. I think five to ten, ten is ten.
You can get away with that. Seven if you're ten
minutes late. Okay, so seven or ten? Six? Seven? No? No,
even seven or ten? What do you think or several?
Several three or seven? Can? I just say? The one
(20:50):
caveat to that is if I am going to someone's
house to eat and I know they are preparing food,
that's different because I'm like, oh fuck, they have gone
to this trouble of preparing food, and then it's like
and then they're sitting around, going, oh, where's mel Yeah,
I guess start eating a room before we gives. But
(21:10):
you know what, the time blindness, I think probably can
play into I don't like cooking, but I get very
flustered when I cook to the timing of having everything
ready at the same time. Yeah, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I'm not very good at doing that. Like I don't
have big dinner parties or anything because I reckon that
would be like just timing, which is a bit different
than what we're talking about, but timing the food. My
mum used to be fucking amazing at it, and my name.
I'd be like, how did you time the peas with
the steak? Stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Phenomenal? And then other little dishes on there. Who's having? God,
I wish I was a person who could have dinner party.
The other day, I was saying to the kids, I said,
if we go into that garage, there are so many
boxes from when we got married. We thought, you know,
like is anyone even doing wedding registries anymore? Yeah? They yeah. Yeah.
(22:01):
It was like we put I can't tell you how
many fancy cocktail glasses I've got because I thought we
were going to be doing all this entertaining. Yeah, and
now I'm like, don't don't come here on me even
same totally totally and I've always can leave. All right,
We're out of here, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
We have a Patreon where we do an extra podcast
every couple of weeks over there. If you want to
become a part of the tribe, head over to patreon
dot com for slash Online. Give me the egg there, tribe,

Love you
Hi, friends, it's Show and Tell time. MALAMONTI here with
you today to talk shit. Yes, yes, oh.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Shit, I mean talk fascinating, interesting, highbrow stuff. What absolute
fucking dribble.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Our podcast is like just streams of consciousness.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know what it is. I feel I always feel
like it's like a phone conversation with your friend. That's
how it feels like to me. It's it goes anywhere.
It's loose, it's no structure to it, no us It's chaotic, totally.
Oh my god. Okay, let's start with my very very
very quick fact. Okay, did you know that if you're
(00:47):
in a foreign country, there is a universal emergency number
you can call, so, you know, like in different countries,
like we've got triple O, yes, but like America's nine
to one one. Who the fuck knows what other countries have.
I don't know one to one one too. If you're
in a foreign country. Apparently it is the emergency services
number that just directs you to you know, the local
(01:09):
buy ambulance whatever. Yeah, isn't that great? I think that's
very handy to know. One's never ever gonna be handy
for you because you don't get on.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Planes, so you're going and never made that. I cannot
believe you have a lot of life left hopefully that
you will never get on a plane again.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Look, i won't say I'll never get on a plane again.
I'm sure there's going to be a circumstance or I'm
going to have to. I'm also really mindful of the
fact that I'm really restricting my family from doing stuff.
Even though Mark went overseas with the kids a couple
of years ago, which was great, and I'm sort of like,
you know what, you guys can go and have a holiday.
I'm fine, which is, you know, not the point of
(01:53):
a family holiday. Yeah, you know what. I'm also just
not I've learned this about myself. Idea of travel doesn't
hugely appeal to me. I'm like, I like the idea
of a holiday. If you give me beautiful surroundings, a
pool and no tasks that need to be done and
(02:13):
relaxation time, I'm pretty happy wherever I am.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I hate fine, but like, I get so scared with
even the tiniest bit of turbulence. But the thought of
never yeah, terrified. But the thought of not being able
to go anywhere outside of driving distance makes me feel
like I'm being strangled by a fucking bowler constrictor or something.
(02:38):
It's so trapping. It is my control fear. Like I
know that when someone else is driving or you're in
a I mean if you're on a bus or whatever,
it's in someone else's hands, right, But the not being
able to get out, I would feel trapped. I'm like overthinking, Fuck,
(02:58):
we are in the air right now. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I know at this point in my life if I
got on a plane, I would have a panic attack.
And then I'm like, what's that doing to my kids?
Seeing that? Then they have this weird attachment to it.
So I'm just steering from there.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Quite a few phobias there. It's a very common one.
Fear of flying, though you can overcome. Makes sense, It
totally makes sense.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't care what the stats are. Stuff still happens anyway.
You last week, I said, talking about Adam Hyde, what's
his callie Holiday who goes out with Abby Chatfield a
part of Peaking Duck and I I think it came
(03:42):
up our Abby's mum's on there on the Golden Bachelor.
But we were talking about age and you were saying how
he's one of those people that you just wouldn't know
what his age is. I mistakenly said he could be
our age. He turns out I'm wrong because you said.
I'll pop the grabbing here of what you said.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Okay, I know, abby, thirdy, I'm like, well, how old
Adam is? Like, he could be any age if you
could be anyway. I looked it up nowhere you cannot
find his age anywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, I'm going to find it, okay, y yep.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I looked it up and it said his age is
not available anywhere. He was started Peaking Duck in twenty ten,
so you can kind of guess his age, they're saying,
but it's just not anywhere on the internet now.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I messaged the other day and said, you would be
the worst private investigator of all time. When I put
in how old is Adam Hyde from Peaking Duck, it
was the first thing that came up and AI in Google.
My in Google, Yes, but the AI overview bit And
then I was like, no, maybe that's wrong. She was
(04:52):
pretty pretty certain that it's so hard to find. Yes.
Then I found a podcast episode and I looked at
the transfer gripped where he referenced I just turned thirty
and it was in like twenty twenty one or something.
So he's like thirty four.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
My AI literally and Google said, Adams, it's an undisclosed age.
And that's what I was shocked. I was like, how
can somebody publicly keep their age hidden? So why did
it not show up for me? And it showed up
for you because I did check several races clearly, not thoroughly,
and not that many. I probably did just check the
(05:29):
AI that came up when you Google, but it's still said, well,
it's it's not anywhere to be found.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, just don't you know, don't change your job in too,
don't ever become a private investigator. I'll say, I think
he's thirty four in case that's been keeping you up
at night, guys, okay, alright, thirty four. Yeah, he's younger
than I thought. Yeah. I had a lot of skin cancer.
I realized too, had a dog. Yeah. Yeah, I was
just thinking of something that just came into my mind
right now. That is, you know, not very topical, but
(05:58):
you know, Selena Gomez recently got married. Yes, people were
talking about how Taylor Swift had done like a video
of her on her phone, like getting ready in the
morning because they're like besties or something apparently. And in
one of the clips you see Selena she had a
vape and she like sort of put it down or whatever. Right,
find no judgment. The issue was her friend who gave
(06:24):
her her kidney. Oh yes, yes, yes, that sort of
dilemma of if I've taken this part out of my
body so you can live, yes, should you be vaping?
Like is no?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
A day had to fall out those plays too. I
think they've just slowly rekindled how fucking hectic to give
a body part to somebody and then have.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
A falling out.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
She wasn't invited to the wedding well, so they're definitely
very distant then. But yeah, you would be polidly protect
your body. I had an operation for you, so protect
your body. Yeah, I'd be kissed. If I saw somebody
smoking or just getting wasted on my body part.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It'd be like, you know what, It's like the equivalent
of you lend someone money because I say they've got
no money, and then they're posting on Instagram they're going
out for fancy dinners, and you'd be, yes, give me
my fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yes, totally, totally, Yeah, that would be. That would bother
me as well. I wonder what went on with the
friend as well, because that would happen. You would have
been lifelong friends. To give someone your kidney.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Just think of how much shit you'd be willing to
put up with because you'd just been in the back
of your mind all the time. Or she did give me,
She did give me that. She did the biggest thing
you can do. Yeah, yeah, I can overlook that. Hey,
I thought this the other day. A friend in primary
school didn't get an spree top because her mum got
(07:47):
a plane top. And I know you've seld spree into it.
I don't know why it came up in my thoughts,
but I used to love those spree tops, you know,
in like similar to the sports Girl one where have
the name across it. And it made me think, is
spree is still a thing? Spree? How weird when you
say it over and over does it sound spree? It
(08:09):
was huge. I wonder if that means spirit in French.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Look it up on your AI, because clearly mine does
not work.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I'm going to look it up. You just had everyone.
I had a green one. It was just that colored lettering. Yeah,
with the e that has no no side, yes, no sideline.
I had a green one I think with white writing
on it or something, fuck it, and it was so pricey.
I used to love it. Like I used to if
we'd go into the city, it'd be like, let's go
(08:38):
to the body shop in Spree. Okay. Espree means the
quality of being lively, vivacious or witty. Okay, so I
guess it's like a bit aspirational. It was so cool
to have Spree. I had an Spree tracksuit once and
we were in a four tracksuit. How to track Spree tracksuit?
Pink one. Espree is no longer in Australia. The brand
(09:00):
sees physical operations in twenty eighteen. No longer operating physical stores.
Some online retail channels may still be available for customers.
You know that would be good. Get just a vintage
Espretation shirt. You know a brand that's like that too.
Funnily enough, Mark has this shirt, this navy blue shirt.
(09:23):
It's just a plain navy blue shirt that he bought
when he went overseas. I reckon it was two thousand
and one. Remember United Colors of Beneton. Yes, a Benetton shirt,
I say to him. It's like that movie, you know,
that movie, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, where they
have this one pair of jeans and it fits all
for friends, and they've all got different body shapes, but
(09:44):
these jeans fit them all perfectly. This shirt, it doesn't
matter how much weight he's put on, how much weight
he's dropped, it just always fits in perfectly. Right. It's
like the shirt. And the other day I did think
I wonder if On's still around. I don't think.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I remember when I used to work at Melbourne Central
and there was the colors of Benetton shot there. Again,
I never had anything like that. Good on him for
scoring something that was really lifelong, because two thousand and one,
did you say.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
It hasn't even faded? Wow? Can I tell you? It's
like he almost wears it every time we go out.
It's like uniform. It's a fancy shirt. Yeah, which it's
a shirt. Yes, it's not like a Flanelette shirt. It's
just a plain navy shirt. It's a dinner shirt. Yeah.
I guess, like if you're going out, No, you wouldn't
wear a tie with it.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
No, I know exactly what you mean. Sam's got those
like the short sleeve shirt that's like, Oh, we're going
out for dinner or we're going to a friend's for
a barbecue, and it's like just.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
To step up from a T shirt. Yes, I really
like a rolled up sleeve on a shirt on a guy.
Oh do you? I like just a like a casual
roll to see the forum, even though the forum is
apparently a big thing for a lot of people, not
so much form like seeing it and like when he
drives and I look at the forearm, I'm like, Okay,
(11:06):
looks nice.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I hate it's a very private school boy thing to
do to wear a shirt with like khaki shorts. Do
you know that look where it might be a light
summer shirt rolled up with khaki shorts shorts?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Are we talking? The color? Like? Yeah, no not Cahki
is like a brownie color, like a brownie green, yes,
I guess yeah, no, no, no, a light brown like
a beiji. Now we're going to fight about this, Okayie,
he's dark green. It's green, isn't it. I think it's
like if you were going to combine green and brown,
(11:44):
that's what you get. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Anyway that kind of looked to me. I'm like, oh,
you're so rich in Italy with your rolled up shirts,
and that's what I think of when I think of
rolled up shirts.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh then, how what else do you do with them? Then?
Just leave them long? I guess so, so I see
Sam never wear so I don't know, but see, I
feel like that about a guy in a short sleeve shirt.
They are different. Like a short sleeve shirt that's slightly
fitted is fine a short sleeve shirt and a guy
that has a loose arm yeah your dad, yeah, yeah,
(12:20):
your dad. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
My par used to wear loose armed shirts like it's
an older man thing to do. Anyway, I've got another
question for you. So in terms of like getting back
to text messages, obviously, if they're your good friends, you
can reply immediately, right Like, I don't mind holding it
open even so the dots are there for people to see.
(12:43):
I'm waiting for your text to come.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Anxiety, the anxiety I get around that, now, do you
when you can see that people are holding on just
that I'm aware. It's like on WhatsApp right yea. With
my other job, there's lots of WhatsApp groups on the go.
I hate that there's no privacy. You can see that
other people are online. Then I'm like, I'm taking too
(13:05):
long to respond, and then it just becomes a whole thing,
and then I see them fade away that they're probably
they know, waiting for you. That is so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But it's more like, I don't know, just I can't
even think of an example of somebody, but say, like
this is the example that comes to mind, Like Alo's
made some new friends at school. So then if one
of the mums text me about something, it's almost like,
don't be too keen, don't be like sitting on your
phone and just quickly get back to them. That's probably
(13:39):
not the best example, but there are examples where I'm like,
don't get back like within a second, because that's so keeno,
which I know is what a lot of people do
when they're first getting into a relationship. But sometimes I
do that with people who message through. Now I'm like,
I should wait a second because it just looks like
I've got nothing going on and I've got it in
my hand and I'm desperate get back to you.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Funnily enough, I've never thought of that.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, that's because that's clearly an anxiety kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I know, because I would assume if they answer me
back straight away the timing they've just got their phone
in their hand at that time, which is exactly the case.
I think. I know. I'll speak for myself. It's sometimes
good to strike while the iron's hot. Otherwise I forget,
get and then I go to message someone something and
then I look, Oh fuck, they messaged me two months ago,
(14:27):
and you look like an asshole? Yeah, totally. Do you
know what is the equivalent to what you just said?
But in the olden days, I remember I worked for
a guy once back when like there were landlines. Oh yeah,
you used to always let the phone ring three times
before he answered it. It was like three was this
magic number that you're not so keen that you're sitting
(14:49):
by the phone, but you're not going to make them
wait too long either. Funny.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, yeah, see, I get it. I totally get it.
Yeah that's so funny. Okay, question how late do you
have to be running to warrant a text message? Okay,
you're going to say you're going out to eat? Is
that food involved? Is the main thing I would consider here?
I think, Yeah, I think I think all the situations
(15:17):
are like picking up your kid from a friend's house,
you're meeting people for dinner. I think in any situation
that you have made a plan with somebody, how late.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
If do you text because.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You like you and I are always late, but you
were seven minutes late this morning and I'm like over
five minutes warrants a text?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Yeah, I think if I am knowing someone is relying
on me for something like not obviously today is not
an example, but like, if I'm going out for dinner
and I'm always late, I will probably text when I'm
leaving home, which is probably already fifteen minutes late. Yeah,
(16:01):
I'm just so like, it is such a chronic thing. Yeah,
I know, but I'll take also smart eating or get appetizers.
I know what you're gonna say, Yeah, you need to
plan your time better.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No, no, no, no, I'm saying it's such an ADHD thing.
Time blindness is so real and because people run late,
they don't actually get that it's a real thing. Like
this morning, I had to drop l Oh to school
by seven point thirty. It's half hour away. At seven o'clock.
I dropped past to get a coffee on the way,
(16:33):
so of course then we're running ten to fifteen minutes late.
But in my head, I can do it all. I
can somehow beat the time.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, I've got half an hour. Yeah, but then you
look at the clock and it's like, oh my god,
I've got five minutes. Mine is more that I feel
I can fit too many things into that time. I
don't allocate enough time to the tasks I think I
can get it done, and then I end up putting
myself under so much pressure. It is so unbelievably real
(17:02):
where Sam would just absolutely not do that, like that
wouldn't be a thing. He would be able to time
everything perfectly and go, well, no, I can't get all
of that shit done in twenty minutes before we have
to leave. But for me, I don't register it almost Yeah.
And I also hate it because it makes you look
like such an asshole, like you don't value people your
time that's more important than other people's. Yeah. Yeah, And
(17:24):
I know that there's a thing that it's like within
very close friends and family, it's almost this given that
Melissa's just going to be late. Yeah, okay, And I
hate that because I'm like, I'm such a flake, and
if I ever rock up somewhere on time, everyone's like
oh my god, listen not early.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Being early is foul. But what do you think is
the amount of time to warranty text? I would if
my kid is at someone else's house. Yeap, it would
be I can foresee, Okay, I'm going to be ten
minutes late. I would send a text before I'm late.
I'd be like, foreseeing, I'm sorry, I'm probably going to
be ten minutes. Yeah, I picking up a kid situation,
(18:04):
I would be late for dinner.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
For dinner, I reckon. Oh look, I don't know in
terms of minutes, maybe ten minutes, and I would be
like ten or fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Fifteen way too long. Fifteen absolutely warrants a text before that.
fIF telling a friend when you go somewhere, like let's
say you're meeting at a restaurant. Yeah, fifteen minutes is
sitting down.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh my god, how's it going, Bob? What would you do? Then?
Order a drink straight away? Fifteen minutes? Wait to do that? No,
does that? I don't know if it's if I waiting
on eating, yes, but the niceties of oh, let's have
a drink. Oh, when I get there, I'll order a
drink or whatever, or I'll shoot a text and go.
If you guys are getting starters, just go ahead. And
(18:53):
you know, fifteen minutes to me is too long. I
would if I was five, mine would be five minutes.
Mine's I reckon. Five minutes longer than that, it would
be it be a sorry, I'm running late. We're only
another five minutes. So that breaks the rudeness of the
ten minute lateness in me. Yeah, yeah, it's a five minute.
(19:17):
It's a five minute max, I reckon. I almost feel
like I want to say to people, if you're organizing
a dinner and you tell me what time it is,
please tell me half our half an hour yeah, half
hour yes, half hour earlier? Okay, raw, interesting you let
us know you're interesting. How how late is the text?
It is a very flaky, flaky looking I don't think
(19:40):
it is.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I think it is people like, no one's deliberately running late.
But I think it's a courtesy thing to if you
were running later than five minutes to let them know
five minutes, yeah, five.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Minutes, five minutes to me? Who's not running five minutes late? No?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
No, people aren't like I definitely, I definitely think five.
If you're over five minutes, you have to message for sure.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Let us know. Let's say let's say you're five, I'm
ten ten so arrogant? Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
What Yeah, even though I know that you can't really
help it, you can maybe sorry, maybe ten's the max.
Fifteen is insane, Like you're thinking you can get away
with fifteen minutes without a text is stupid?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, if you're meeting out, yeah, a text, definitely a
text at fifteen. I think five to ten, ten is ten.
You can get away with that. Seven if you're ten
minutes late. Okay, so seven or ten? Six? Seven? No? No,
even seven or ten? What do you think or several?
Several three or seven? Can? I just say? The one
(20:50):
caveat to that is if I am going to someone's
house to eat and I know they are preparing food,
that's different because I'm like, oh fuck, they have gone
to this trouble of preparing food, and then it's like
and then they're sitting around, going, oh, where's mel Yeah,
I guess start eating a room before we gives. But
(21:10):
you know what, the time blindness, I think probably can
play into I don't like cooking, but I get very
flustered when I cook to the timing of having everything
ready at the same time. Yeah, yeah, I can't.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I'm not very good at doing that. Like I don't
have big dinner parties or anything because I reckon that
would be like just timing, which is a bit different
than what we're talking about, but timing the food. My
mum used to be fucking amazing at it, and my name.
I'd be like, how did you time the peas with
the steak? Stuff like that?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Phenomenal? And then other little dishes on there. Who's having? God,
I wish I was a person who could have dinner party.
The other day, I was saying to the kids, I said,
if we go into that garage, there are so many
boxes from when we got married. We thought, you know,
like is anyone even doing wedding registries anymore? Yeah? They yeah. Yeah.
(22:01):
It was like we put I can't tell you how
many fancy cocktail glasses I've got because I thought we
were going to be doing all this entertaining. Yeah, and
now I'm like, don't don't come here on me even
same totally totally and I've always can leave. All right,
We're out of here, thank you so much.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
