of the year.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
My dad, because you know what, we love our buckwets for.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
We don't think shame here?
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Do you know our buckwets? What are the ones who
take you know what they are?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
What are they?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
They're like our bees.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
That dip themselves in our pollen and then they go
to all the flowers around the Kingdom of Australia and
they spread the pollen of the buck up.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
You know, they aren't hang on what smiths.

We love bees and we love bees. And bees are
in trouble on this earth, well, not our buccaneer bees them.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
And you know why they're not in.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Trouble because this is the purest pollen that you can
rub your legs.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Is it their legs they stick in the pollen?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Do they? Is it their mouth?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
A lot of my education, I'll be honest, comes from
Jerry Seinfeld to the Bee movie, in which.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
I discovered that bee and the human woman. He fell
in love with the humans.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Really strange.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
It's a very strange twist in that movie.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I haven't in that movie in a long time.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Well, you don't have children when you have movie?
Speaker 4 (04:56):

Speaker 5 (04:57):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
A cartoon cartoons for adult No, I know, but people
say that, don't know.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
No, I think it was a kid. I used to
wear it without kids.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Let's call it if you're an adult and you go
to the movies alone to see now creep and we
judge you a creep or.
Speaker 6 (05:15):

We're doing everything at once.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Rowing machine?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Do that?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You said she said something about talking about our news resolutions.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Oh, I asked you that and then I lost you.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
No, you said you got a rowing machine.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
This is not doing a part with Kate is I'm
going to ask you a question and made your answer.
I'm gonna swap topics and part you let me answer
your question. Machine finished talk about bees more your nerve
(06:37):
go on talking about about that buckwek it's news to
me that they're bees. They're just buckets. Got to change
who they are.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
What does that start with?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
You shouldn't have done this, bonus ap.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I know, but everyone's happy we did, are they?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
This is us at our finest order, the rowing machine. Okay,
it arrived. Yeah, I've had to put it together. Oh no,
thank you to Shadow Labor.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I wouldn't even know how to start on a rowing Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I actually wasn't pulleys and yeah it was all magnetic.
What's magnetic? One personality? Oh that was actually a compliment.
So why are you laughing, Sash.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
She's got the giggle.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
It's all right to hang out with. You're right.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Some would say, you know, we adore you.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
I made Cody leave the house to do it for
the first time.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
That's humil.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I wouldn't even let him in the same house.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I know. Peter once came to a yoga class. I
was that and I was I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Absolutely not terrible. So he left the house. I sat
on it. I pulled the thing three or four times,
and the noise mixed with the hips, mixed with just
me doing it, and I let go. Never again, never again.
I used it costs just like nine hundred fifty dollars. Yes,
you know, read my Facebook marketplace attitude. Picked it up. Yeah,
(08:05):
took it to the front of the house, put it
on the nature and it was gone within five hours
or something. Did someone throw it away down the street?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I was so happy? Do you know what? That's a
cheap lesson.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Good lesson to learn.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Really, I know it was a lot of money, but
that is so you would literally pay that money.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I reckon a subscription service. I reckon you'd paid that
amount of money every three months to not have to row.
So I think you've done very well.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So my news resolution is I don't have one yet,
but it's still got time. Yeah, you've got plenty of
what's yours? I never have one, never have them?
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Well, you know what I started last year, but I
didn't really frame it as a news resolution, But I
started doing duo lingo and at the start of the
year on a streak and for Italian. Yeah, for Italian,
and I had, I think a thirty one day streak
and then it disappeared.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I lost it.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Isn't Lingo Italian, it's any language. Is the world duo lingo?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Well? No, Lingua is Italian lingo? Maybe it's Spanish duo two?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well done? How's the up going?
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And why isn't the greatest producer in the world tippy tappying?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
She's on break holiday.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
She's just in a giggly mood anyway. And then I
did it again and I lost it like forty days,
and now I'm up to a hundred and you're killing
it thirteen days or.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Something, and I haven't lost it.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
But every day it comes as a surprise to me
that I have to do it, and often I'm not
getting I'm not getting to do it till like five
minutes past.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
You think it's actually helping, because some people say it's
more about memory and test and it is about learning
a language, and.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I don't think.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
I think if you're just putting her on you a lingo,
you're very unlikely to become proficient in a language.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
But you can't go up to country, you can't raw
dog it.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
No, no, you can't go you need. It's like a
bridging visa. It's a bridging visa.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Tell me about working visas thrilling content.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
What I'm saying, nobody's questioning how you got there. But
once you're there, you've got a sort of a faint
idea of bumbling. You can bumble around and name bits
of furniture.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
And now now they're going to let you have your
app out on your phone. That's going to swap your
language live. People aren't going to learn languages anymore.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Do you know this year? Because I traveled a little
bit this year.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
To write your book, there's a news resolution.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Literally I've become one of those people when people say
to me, how's the book going? I say, which I
never I've never uttered this phrase before, and it's so
powerful in this modern.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Word, mind your own business.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
No, you know what I say, I really don't want
to talk about Oh my.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
God, how I've literally never said that about in You see.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Me ever say that about a gig And just know
I did not have a c.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
But you know what's really interesting when you say it
to people, you hear the.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Them reversing out of that. People really respect it.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You not talking I've literally never respected at once when
people have seen it.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
My yeah, no one in.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
This world say to me respect.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
As soon as someone says to me, I don't want
to talk about it. There is literally nothing, nothing in
the world that I want.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
To talk about more of course nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
If it was a movie, all the lights go black
and appear.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
On that person, and if necessary, some form of Chinese
water torture is boaked to elicit that I'm about tod
I'm about to poke. Tell me, well, luckily this is
a safe space.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Dish ye one, all the tea.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
By the way, I know we never discussed it this year,
did we.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
We'll find out was it?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (12:44):
What about her?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
I'm troubled by her.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I think everyone is. He doesn't look healthy and Cynthia,
they don't seem happy and healthy together. It's Christmas.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I'm just trying to get away all the things we
never discussed.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Your chest, bridging visas, the stars of Wicked? What else
we got?
Speaker 5 (13:03):
What have you got?
Speaker 6 (13:05):
I'm chucking a lot of the pastor at the ball
to see if it's cooked.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
What are you doing other than criticizing?
Speaker 6 (13:12):
What did I tell you how I read the Man
in the Arena. That's at Peter's family.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
The Man in the Arena. Yeah, you know that about
in the Arena. Yeah, I remind myself of the Man
of the Arena.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
The greatest I remind we read it to people read
it as a New Year's thing.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Look at Sar, she's got no idea.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
To be fair. Okay, So this is where the Man
in the Arena comes up in my life. Obviously, you
build a skin over time when I was new to
this world, like fifteen twenty years ago, and you start
seeing printed reviews on you and people talking online and
all that kind of stuff. Every now and then when
it wasn't great, Kate, it's like broke me and it
(13:54):
meant like my world was over. But then more experience
and the more you do and the bravery you get,
all of a sudden you realize I would so much
prefer to be the one being reviewed.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Correct, correct? Okay? Now deep guys, all right, you've gone
so deep, And I'll.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Tell you what the problem with it is. Nobody's got
a sw what you're talking about. Look at Sash, her
eyes are even more glazy.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
So give the backstory of the man in the arena, I.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Just did it in a personal way.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
No, give it in a proper So it was Teddy Roosevelt,
who was an American price.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Yeah, it was the most amazing.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
All right, I'll read you the poem.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
How long is it?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
No, it's not very long.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
It's a paragraph, but the ideas are dense. But it's
just such a brilliant thing to know.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
For as our money back guarantee, we're giving it.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Please, No, it's a bonus atte it's nice. I'm having
a nice time.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
The money back guarantee, and this is part of it.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Is there anything about our podcast that you love? Is
there anything why you have this attitude?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You need more? With those arms? You haven't used it?
Look at your arms.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
That was terrible but also true. So I don't care.
I'm walking around, No, but I'm happy for you by.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Them gissing my muscles inverted bombers.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Oh, I'm laughing like I'm at one of your live shot.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
That's nice.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
And you haven't turned up what that was a joke? Okay,
So the in the arena, so Teddy Roosevelt said this sash,
this is so here we grillant, So just bear with it.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
This is going to take our year out.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
This will take a year out.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
This is actually what people come to the buck up
for to feel better at the end of it than
they do at the star.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
I just throw a box of Frankencens perfect Christmas time,
and I've got Franken scene.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
It's almost like it's meant to be.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Listen to this sash, you'll love it. It is not
the critiquer who counts. Not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of
deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the arena, whose face
is marred by dust and sweet and blood, who strives valiantly,
(16:50):
who errs, who comes short again and again, because there
is no effort without error and shortcoming. But who does
actually strive to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause,
who at the best knows in the end the triumph
(17:13):
of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails,
at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
neither know victory nor defeat. Oh the man in the arena,
(17:35):
isn't it amazing?
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Amazing?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
We're all getting in that area.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, some of us arena now.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Year everyone I'm in the arena, ye, mate, even me
with my tiny arms or with ma stick arms of
the bravery to go on TV on.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
My mother says, the muscles on his brawny arms stood
out like Barrel's kneecaps.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
It's just a quote that my mother.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
By the way, you'll be happy to know that I
read that entire thing to Peter's family.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
That's good.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
When we were assembled at our last family dinner, when
I was trying to take a selfie by propping the
phone up against a window pane, and they were all
criticizing the angle and the placement. I read, I read,
I read them that poem. Yeah, and then you know what,
took one of the best family pictures there.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
But we'll put it in our show notes.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah. I feel when he wrote that, he in his
mind was thinking about selfie.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
What a president?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Selfie?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
What a president?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
