Speaker 1 (00:02):
Imagine, if you will, that you are in a place
of great beauty. Some teenage boys walk past you, they
yell out, they bitch tits. The world you see is
a place of paradox of beauty and cruelty.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
It will cut you off.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Of the knees then gift you a pair of easies.

Speaker 3 (00:31):

a buck up. Yet, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Fuelled? Not by car?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Isn't?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
What is it fueled by a buck? The potential of
a buck, the potential of a bar, the pre buck high.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
I have dragged myself in here today.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
You've got nearly taken off by the winds.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
The oas skinny little thing, that is the buck up.
You say skinny, But you're looking sharp.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
It's looking sharp, and you're wearing horizontal stripes and you're
still looking good. Really, that says, come on horizontal, hellow
miss confident, strolling on in.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
But it's very hard to find a vertical striped T shirt.
People just don't do it anymore outrageous stripe.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
But did I get the You're right?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
You know what? They just don't do it to.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
They landscape by the way, might I ask.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Are you and Nate Balvo the greatest comedian in the land?

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Oh my sorry in the room.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
In the room, I'll take you that.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
But who are we?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Joined by red hat? I mean red jump are green
green hat? Christmas Elf? Christmas comes early, the elf.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
On the shell on the shell it's Sasha friend, who
is the greatest producer in the land. And how lucky
we are that here we all are together, united in
our church of love of life.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
And you know what we need to remind our buckheads
that we will hold their hand through winter. We are
one week in down South. Hello Melbournian's we have gone hard.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Sorry, I'm being possessed, like WHOOPI Goldberg. Ghost a movie,
oddly that the kids haven't got on board week.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Ghost is a I think it's a week very bad movie.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Mabe it is. But you know, there's no reason that
you know, the kids have always have seen everything, right,
They've just churned through everything.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
They don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, they've ghost to ghost. Why would that be because
they know a lot of other old movies.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
I think I remember reading somewhere once that the bad
guy in Ghost the work friend of his stole the money,
but he had trouble getting a lot of work after
that movie because it was such an iconic evil person
that no one wanted him in anything.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Do you think that's why the children are boycotting them?
That's why Jean and z Z.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
That's the one after that.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Alpha is it?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
What can I be? Alpha? Now?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Well? You are alpha in here, You're our alpha male.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
I have never heard that said. Excuse me, Yes, I
have an announcement today. It's very excited.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
You need some sort of sound effect because I look
at her little fungus.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
This is called personal growth, which we're normally against. This
on the buck up. We're not here to.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Gree As we've said before, we're like a sitcom. And
at the end of every episode, no matter what journey
our characters have embarked on, at the end of the episode,
you will find us exactly as we were at the start.
We reset nothing big.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
I believe it was in the reset button. Yes, we
walk on out. I had the painter over the other day.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh is that a youth for me? She took girls
say when they got their pink cycle. Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
So interesting because I'm flirting with some I'm flirted with
some dusty reds for a couple of the trimmings. So
so what do you say to the sentence?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Please, I've got the.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Painters in ah painters, So you don't say color or anything.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well you can, you can, And now some people like
get really grassy us I've never been on board. I'm like,
we all know what we're talking about. You don't need
to get graphic.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Right, So you don't say, like the painter's over with
his gallons of red paint putting it everywhere, Like, you
don't say that, right?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Just imagine do you think we say that she's delighted
by that painted with villains paints? So it's actually very
little red paint, by the way, you old assume the amount.
You're just like, how is that possible?

Speaker 4 (05:06):
All that? Who?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, but it's a lot of the alpha males.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Really all that complaining for that.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
But it's quite amazing that complaining, all that yapping on
for that. Yeah, yeah, that's what we do.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Guess what I told the painter.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Okay, so the painter was over uh huh obviously with
a pot of beige paint.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
No, not for some of the rooms, Yes, of the rooms. Yeah,
we got chatting. He asked what this particular room is for.
I said, it's the spare bedroom, but it's actually most
of the time. Are you ready my husband's office?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
I came out to the paint man. You know more
of this carpet court.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Who oh no, why did you do missus? Why can't
you leave any mystery? And then we can enjoy you toying.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Because I'd already said the words to him are dusty red.
So I feel like Ship.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Did to him about your period as well.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
About some colors. He said, his wife's interiors.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I've got the painters in, and as you know, I'm
I've got liters of dusty red that the conversation.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Did you know when your wife gets your period?

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's not much, even after all that screaming and mood swings.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
It's not much.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Once I shattered plates on purpose, such said, I thought
you said something else there? Always see if I would?
And also what how could I have done that? Would
have by eating plates.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
At the moment? I wouldn't put it past you. I
tell you what if they weren't made past We walked
past the snack wall.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
There's a snack wall. Some weed that.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Reminded me of that footage if you know when they
bad choice of animal. But I'm sorry, it did remind
me of it, you know, when those footages of cows
getting on the grass for the first time. No, I'm
not calling you a cowl.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, I was wearing my cow car to withdraw halfway
through and you are always trying to get to me others.
It's not much wake up sush anyhow, and I can
get up.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
That's me, my cow coach. I hope that we don't
have a situation with the carpet man and the paintermen
are in the same room at the same time with me,
and I've got to juggle those balls.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Do you know what I really do? You know what
I'd love if you found out that the painterman and
the carpetman a couple. Wouldn't that turn? Okay? Riddle me this.
When you tell someone that shocking news that you're a
HOMOSEXU wann't happen.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I don't walk into a cafe and go table for two.
I'm gay.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
FI. You seem very keen on announcing it right, taking
Cody down to the carpet shop, announcing it to the
painter who had hitherto no interest. Right, do you scan
their face to see if there's how did they your
clock it? What? How was he?

Speaker 4 (08:16):
He didn't care, He's just at a job.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Okay, just so emotional this week. Which is it that
you want them to care?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
The husbands actually say that?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
What period of Sometimes they do? I say, I say
it to someone in my family. I'm not allowed to
mention on this podcast my husband.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Man period. Sorry what you're saying? Oh the face he
pulls when I say yeah, sometimes it's all internalized. Don't
blame me, Blame society.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Do you think? Do you think society?

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Not now?

Speaker 2 (08:55):
We're all good now, but you know, blame society for.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
What twenty years ago, for you know, instilling into a
whole generation of homos that you shouldn't everyone.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I like, I mean, I'm not suggesting that you accept
any of the finger pointing at yourself. But you know,
they say one you point a finger at someone else's
three fingers pointing at you. I know you say society.
I've never heard one who decided to be a so really,
I don't know that it's society, do you know what

(09:26):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (09:27):
It's definitely a decision.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, it's a decision.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
I remember very well, we're all happy.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
We're wrapped for your decisions. Yeah, everyone's stoked. We've ever
been more thrilled.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
I'm so happy. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I mean, do we say congratulation.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
To what's coming out to the painter?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah? Sure, I think so.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Reckon.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I just think they're all these little things add up
to a giant step for man card.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Oh I've I've often said that about my life and
the I behave huge impacts.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I love it. Hey, it's not just you that we've
had an effect on. We are taking our buckwhets, our
buck knuckles, our buckheads, our buckstackles, our buckwheats.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
That's the least strong one.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Okay, well you could join in it.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Anything like watching you just swim out there and puddle away.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
We are taking them on a journey of self actualization.
I'm not going to say self improvement, no thank you,
but to fully fill the form that you landed on
this earth.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
In I'm nodding, yeah, I'm nodding.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
So to be your foolsome self. Don't hold anything bad.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
No fake wives on the buck up.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
And sometimes that may mean.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Lauren and something annoying, but welcome.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well you always have sworn off anyone learning anything, particularly
your good. So we'll find out later when you attempt
to read a.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Text from MUK but because the fonts are too.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Small, Rachel. So this is when Sash gave me this.
I'm like, I don't understand. And then it's like we
have helped a sister, a buck sister, a new one.
At my workplace, we have a five to ten minute
daily trivia, which I find really strange.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
I'd quit on this.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
You know what I hear? Public service. I don't think
capitalism's got time for this well quick, but the public service.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Boy with a quick behind the scenes it in the jungle.
Oh yeah, sometimes you have to wait. Oh yeah, there's
a lot happening every day, and they cut all that
out obviously, right. Sometimes yeah, a producer would come on
to the speakers and just play trivia with us. Why
we waited because it was that long of a wait?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Wow? Were you any good at any of it?

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'm actually surprisingly better than I thought I would bear. Yeah,
I can't spell.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
They alltions about Kyli, me and I.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Why do I come here anyway? Rachel? Rachel Mathers. But
I'm going to call her Rachel Matters and everybody is
so named to us? Is matters matters? Okay, so added
the five to ten minute daily trivia. We've got half

(12:24):
a sentence into her letter. We got distracted. One person
asked the team random quiz questions. Most of the time
I walk away feeling dumber. I know none of the
harder questions until now give us a sound effects such.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
I'm so excited to know what she learned from.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Us quiz master. What fruit do vegans not eat? And
why me? Figs?

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Are you being her? Your mismatters are miss matters.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
The whole team looks my way in shock, and I'm
asked why me? Because wasps build their nests in them.
People looked at me and shock, some with big proud grins.
I felt smarter than the person next to me for
a change. Oh, I've recently discovered this pod and it's

(13:23):
now all I listened to be careful, Rachel, and I am
working my way through your history. Only two days I've Rachel,
I learned about wasps and figs from your podcast. Thank
you for my glory.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
That Rachel even funnier about this story. I don't remember
learning that.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I remember I think, I mean, she's really taken it,
and she's.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Taken it wrong with it. When you said figs, I
was like, really.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
So every fig they say has a wasp you But
now I.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Remembers there was an episode or two where when a
lot of wasp context because.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I got stung by a wasp in Italy. I got
stung by wasp and I already told you there was
a fig tree sp eight from Vespa means what in
Italian correer?

Speaker 4 (14:11):
How it's all coming back?

Speaker 2 (14:12):
That'll be another question in Rachel matters.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
To ten minutes trivia.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
In fact, if she ask a trivia question, she should
ask that.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
The vesper one.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh la, how thrilling is that? Either way? I hope
that's an accuration. Fact, I just did you just make
that up?

Speaker 4 (14:32):
No, did say if it was correct or not? Is
that in the store.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
I don't think that matters. They're just like they were
so shocked.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
She got one it was right.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, Well they confirmed it with their proud grins. She said.
But here's the thing in life. It's like a friend
of mine who was a shoplifter no judgment, said, when
you walk into any store, they're not looking at your hands,
they're looking at your face, and so you walk with

(15:02):
confidence and purpose, and you can walk out of a
store with just about anything. This was a long time ago.
This is what we're learning, and they did it, and
they did so this is Rachel matters. She said it
with confidence. Do you think anyone's going back to their
desk and googling? Is it true that they may well be?

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Some people would be. We all know that friend that
would do that.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Isn't that terrible?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
You know that friend?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I know. I'm thinking straight away of the person in
my life who's that friendly.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
I have friends that I believe the secret to a long,
happy friendship is never doing trivia together, because you see
a side of certain people that is so unattractive, that competitiveness,
that googling your answers. You know, the ones that correct
the answer, they fight the answer. Excuse me, I think
you'll find that in nineteen eighty Yes, right, that is
the single un sexiest thing a human being can do.

(15:50):
My thoughts take trivia seriously.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
You were going to say, because this is often the
same sort of person, that the secret to lifelong friendships
with people is you not being particularly successful, because because
that some people are not good with the success of
a friend question.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yes, who wants to be a millionaire? May no, that's
at the end. What who's your phone? A friend? Who's
the person that you go They're going to know whatever
it is because you have to give it to them
before you go on the show. So they have to
be geography history, okay, facts about three figs.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I'm going to say my girlfriend.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Max husband, Max's husband, Max husband. Oh okay, sorry, yep.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
So, but I don't know if i'd be allowed to
use him Mac and may see Yeah Mac, you've met Mac. Yeah,
you've met Mac. We've all met Mac. Why would you
call him Max?

Speaker 4 (16:48):
It was the double plural difficult.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
But I don't know if i'd be able to use
him because he's on a TV quiz show.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
You can't do that. That's like the guy that coughed
in the audience and that was all the uproar.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Remember that that was in England.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
So when you watch the footage so often, I know
the question.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
It was a one.

Speaker 4 (17:09):
Culture et cetera. And great movie on it. They made
a movie about it. He's the guy from Successions in it.
It's really good.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I had a terrible thing trying to watch a show
the other night. You know, I thought it's nice to
watch something with one of my children. So Sunday and
I will often. I told you she started watching Kylie
with me and she said I had no idea. She
was so cool, which I will laugh.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
We love that.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I loved it, right. And so then Artie, my number three,
who's my most mysterious of the children, so jealous. He's
very anyway dream I went, someone had been telling me
about off campus.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Oh yeah, the show. Hello, we're going to watch Pawn
with your daughter.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
I didn't know with my son. My son so much,
so I said Artie.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Again eighteen this this is coming up into therapy in
ten years.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Okay, So I said to him, do you want to
watch a show with me? He was in between. I
think he was going to basketball. But later on I said,
I'm going to watch a show that people have been
telling me. He's really good. I've got a girlfriend who's
obsessed with it. Do you want to watch it with me?
He goes, yeah, sure, you know.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
He didn't know about it. It's all over.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
My seat sits down, and like three minutes in, I
feel maybe a bit longer, maybe a bit shorter. He
says to me. I love him so much. There was
a guy naked in a shower and a girl had
come into clean clean the shower and it was in

(18:40):
a gym, and she sort of paused and he was anyway,
and there was it was very and Artie said to
me getting up, he said, I don't think this is
mother's son. I don't think this is a mother's son
viewing opportunity.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
He said, I think he's right.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
And then I really I said, I'm so sorry, I
don't do you want to persist? And well just he goes, no.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
I'm sorry and stop right there.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Oh yeah, well.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
There's hardcore porn playing on the TV.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
To persist, I thought maybe we could just fast forward,
because then they pumped quicker. Anyway, It was really terrible
and it's kind of sallied it for me, And this
is how I knew how desperate he was to get
out of there. He actually took the dog for a walk.
And that's really that really happened. That is But how more.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Mothers listening that can't get those mothers that are struggling
with their teenage boys. You just don't get up and
get out and get amongst it. Put on soft core
porn and how they go they'll be jogging and running
and painting the house chills. I was literally painting the house. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Yeah. It was mortifying anyway, And then I couldn't watch it.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
I watched Something out of Desperation the other day, and
everything about this film made me think I'm going to
hate everything about this movie. I don't know why I
press play, but I press play and I ended up
absolutely loving it. Tip better Man the Robin Williams movie.
He's a c Go Monkey. Yeah, everyone said that was

(20:15):
really good. All of those things are hard for me.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, sorry, c G monkey. Yeah, but it didn't look
like him. Yeah the monkey. Really, he does look like
a monkey.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
It's a really good movie, is it. It's a fair
and you know I'm picky.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, it's very feel good.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
It goes quick, it's good, funny.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
I just asked this very old scenes.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
It was midnight.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
If you're not particularly interested in Robbie Williams.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
It's fine. It's still a good movie, completely fine.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
It's amazing that I'm saying I'm.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Not i've'm picking up that you are.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
No, I'm asking behalf of people that aren't into.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Surprisingly better than I thought. And also, weirdly, he doesn't
sing the songs, which I found very odd. I've got
someone that sounds like him to re record the songs.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
That's weird. Weird why I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
And also it's an Australian film. Is it made in
the Gold Coast or something in Sydney? Okay, we're moving
on things that are embarrassing that shouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Oh, yes, yeah, I I've got one. By the way.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Something that should have been embarrassing that absolutely is walking
across a pedestrian crossing, especially when you're on your own
and you're stopping all the traffic. Do you do the
awkward wave or just head down, striding forward to get
across as fast as you can a half run, even
worse than a set of traffic lights in peak hour
on a busy row. Yes, there needs to be a
few people with you to share the moment you cross together.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
The beetles, But like the beetles, all of his jad
couldn't be more right. Man, But he's played right into
the pool is dead, Sush.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
It's all connected.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
The greatest producer in the land. Have you got any
backwards audio for us? No?

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Well, I told you that one once from the bucket
On the buck what was it called the buck up?
What's the one where you watch Wizard of Oz press play?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
It doesn't work with the album doesn't want what's the
album that you press? It doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
It doesn't know.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
It's a trick. We need some backwards audio about maybe
Jack can do it? Who does? Who edits our pod? Jack?
Maybe Jack's got the technology to play things backwards.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Just gets an email once a week from sas of
swear words that we say.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Now, I'm allowed to swear because you started. You know why,
because we've got beautiful younger listeners and you know what.
People are so casual about swearing now me included.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
You called me six minutes ago.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
It's not swearing, is it?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
What? So this is embarrassing. Oh yes, it's a minor embarrassment.
But most of the I'm so hell bent on when
I go to a stupor market now not going along
with the paper bag for twenty five cent racket on you,
or in fact, the reusable bag for two dollars rackets
good on you. Right, everything in the stupor market is

(23:17):
wrapped in plastic or made of plastic. You know, I
saw a thing on strawberries socials about how to see.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Starting on blueberries again.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Rice has got plastic in it. What do you doing
all the grains of rice? Well, you put it in
a fry pan, dry grains and if they start to melt.
But apparently that's a thing overseas. Fake grains import some
of the rice. So we might be importing because of you.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Somebody algorithm just throws me all this.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Something.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, you get ready to cook. This is what my
alo I've never been because of you.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Okay. You know who's on board with that, our master listener, Cody,
We love me. Okay, So there's as come on by
the way him on, could you be away? I really
wanted all to myself.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
So there's a conspiracy theory that most fruit and veggies
are rubber and not real. And so there's footage, there's
footage of people now watermelons ben.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Because they hang on to stop the clock.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
And you're allowed to ship there and say that plastic.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Ridiculous because he can't eat. Rubber can't eat.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
That's why people are upset.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I didn't think I've seen that. I thought it was
because of you know who, someone let's call him Gil Bates,
tampering with the food the way that he's putting leeches
all through America? Have you seen that about all the leeches?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
I'm not allowed to talk about looking robbery ticks, but
this is happenings and filled with diseases being planted by
Bill Gates.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Who oh sorry, by Gil Bates? Reverse? Oh is it Dad?

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Good?

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Paul? His dad? PAULA? Is Dad? Hey?

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Jack? Right now? Reverse what I just said? And speaking
of Yes, the phone, which is you know late at
night it's the battle? Do I watch something on TV?
The phone? Scroll? Is it both?

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Well? You do both?

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Oldmates, old mats asleep or away? So either way I'm alive.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Hence the fact that they write now for people who
were watching at the same time.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Scripts are being told to put the plots into dialogue.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Screen second screen, second screen, second screen, where they make
it so basic that even she could understand it.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
What who There is a bunch of women, yes, helping
me fall asleep lately. Now they were introduced to me
as everything is these days, folks by the algo, I
have typed nothing to anyone for them to.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Show no active intro.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
I didn't even know I needed this is it? A
couple of weeks ago? TikTok at night when I jump
into bed, I reckon, they know when you're in bed, right.
Have started showing me, babe to old Southern women making
classic Southern American foodish dishes, and I watched them from

(26:39):
beginning to end. They're quite terrible at it.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
How old are they?

Speaker 4 (26:43):
The grandma's this one?

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I like old from olden days.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Then now I know they're all called me mour.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, they're all called me.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
They're all called me Moore.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
And the washing things down with a sweet as this
is who here's a clip for years of lamb Just.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Put like one cup flour, one cup sugar, and one
cup milk for this pan is a little bigger than that.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I'm gonna use one half of each.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
What what's you're making?

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Peach cobbler?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Peach cobla? You know that's a real competitive thing in
the sound.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Why am I lying in bed with my phone three
centimeters from my face watching me more make make peach cobbler,
Pumpkin pies, Mississippi mud pie. These videos are not short, no.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
No six minutes ornate recipes, and they are so incredibly
at the end. Well, no, but all the comments, of course,
I deep dive on the comments yes, Americans.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Are so psychotic with food.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
And what way what are they saying? You know what?

Speaker 4 (27:49):
This is missing a leader of cream, final step, Add
another seven kilos of chocolate.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Add another black crisco.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
All of that right me more added marshmallows, just like
the comments are insane. Okay, No wonder why their life
span is it ten years less thannails or I don't know.
But to the memals of Southern America, thank you. You
are putting me to sleep. Okay, you are my comfort.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
When Sash and I went to a radio conference when
we first started working together, we got sent to a
radio conference in New Orleans and me, Hughsy and Sash
and we were like, New Orleans is like a different
part of America, and it's just a yeah, it's amazing.

(28:41):
It's quite amazing.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Food so insane seafood.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Insane seafood. However, I'm not mad on their mixing up
like gumbo. I just like soft intent chicken and bits
of crawlfish thrown in it. It's too much.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
And as also, you know, it's below sea level.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I don't know what that means.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
So it's below water when there's water, when there's a hurricane,
and all this stuff it's happened. That's why it always
gets flooded away.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
If it's something's below sea level, I don't know. Why
are you wet?

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Yeah, they are often and that's why there's been so
many disasters. They shouldn't be there.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
But you mean scientifically, no, I just mean when you're
walking around, how can you be below sea level?

Speaker 4 (29:19):
It's a very good question. Do you understand such No
one knows. This is like when people talk about space.
I space out.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yeah, but doesn't I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
I agree with you, but I think they are No.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
They're not wet wet. I just don't understand what stops
the water. But of course I think Holland was under.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
They've got those barriers up. That's the problem.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Is it banks's banks.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
But then as soon as there's a storm, it goes
over the banks.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Anyway, I think I'm right.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
Can you please confirm they're under the sea water?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And does it say sash what stops the water barriers? No?
That far And but I don't have barriers.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Surely think they do. And that's why have they got.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
The mighty Mississippi.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
And that's why they say the government lets them down
all the time because they haven't built proper infrastructure.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Levy's Levy's.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Got very nerdy then, didn't we?

Speaker 5 (30:14):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
I know, but I just that's a very basic thing.
I'm sure there's someone listening and they'll be like, are
you ef an idiots?

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Often?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Okay, well tell us thanks a lot, Cody, because we
love nothing more than to learn on this podcast.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
This week's all about learning.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Okay. So at the airport, do you remember, Sash, I
bought that New Orleans cookbook. I've still got one, and
I gave I think I gave it to you.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Didn't I give you it dessert?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Did we both? And then you made the peacan? She
made pecan Prayleans. It took her like three goes. Literally,
I remember you coming in and going, there's three blocks
of butter in a batch of these biscuits.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Well, my memour, my favorite memour. You know she made
the other night that I watched in full. Never heard
of it before. Coca cola cake.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
It was.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Sugar and they're all the things.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I'm all of a sudden, just a lead of coke
and somehow it looked really good at the air Was
it a.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Chocolate like a song, like a jist, was it like
a pudding? Like, no, it was a cake and it's
the coca cola.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
What did she put on top of it?

Speaker 4 (31:20):
I'm sure a lot of.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
The Americans love doing stuff with coca cola, by the way,
because they glaze a ham with coca cola.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Well, let me say this. Australia tries to match that
with beer, beer boof beer out of.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
They're always like, you know, it's like people who are like,
I've got this great recipe to make brownies with beetroot.
Get stop.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
If you're grating a vegetable, you're also grating me.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Stop. Am I ever gonna see your face again?

Speaker 4 (31:57):
No way, my old stand up. But you'd agree when
people say the sentence, it tastes like the real thing,
you know, the worst possible dessert is going yours. True,
it tastes just like the real thing about you, me,
the real thing.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Okay, do you want to hear the greatest thing that's
ever happened to anybody in the course of a week,
Wow since we last saw each other, better than peach cobbler. Well,
you know what, probably I would trade my kingdom for
some peach cobbler. Peach cobbler is one of those things.
It's got such a beautiful name that the name automatically

(32:34):
makes it delicious, doesn't it anyway?

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Works with tins and fresh That's what memour taught me.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Oh yeah, really, you actually.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Said in a recipeach, he prefers tined.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Oh because they've they'd have Georgia peaches.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
This is my life.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
They'd have sweet Georgia peaches.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
So go the can.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
I'd love a Georgia peaches ever since Justin Bieber sang
that song. Oh yeah, you know, I get my peaches
down in Georgia.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
You're too old to be singing. It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
What I'm just singing a song. I'm not too not
having sexual congress with him.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
No, you're not putting on poor like your son's home.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh it's terrible, taking of course at dinner time. I
never painted in a good light.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
How was your day, mum? On the TV?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
You need to watch it anyway. And he's such a
lovely boy, but mysterious, mysterious anyway, So Lewis comes out
last week. You know, he lives in the bungalow at
the back.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
It's a good bungalow, very good dream scenario.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
He's got the primo.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
The first time I visited your house. Yeah, I walked
into the backyard and thought, that is the dream. I agree,
it is the How did he get there?

Speaker 2 (33:49):
You know what we we we misspoke when we moved
into the house and there was a lot of it
was in lockdown. We really made a mistake. We made
a mistake. Peter and I should have actually lived out
there and left the kids in the house. Like you
know that weirdo what's his name?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
I don't like Mondays.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
I don't like Monday.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
He is always getting credit for Live aid or Geldoff. Yeah, Geldoff.
Did you say I.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Don't like Mondays? Was very wrong, very wrong.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Nobody does like Lasagna?

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Why like la daughter's name Peach or something?

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Oh, let's not because I think name that's but she.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Had a name?

Speaker 2 (34:39):
What must we yea peaches?

Speaker 4 (34:41):
Peach?

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Was she the one? It's all that's not all connected.
I'm okay, all right. Anyway, we're getting so aggressive about
you've read someone that's passed that's terrible to dark, wicked.
It's not took but that because that's life. As I say,

(35:04):
life has patches of darkness, which is why my buck
up this week was one of the sweetest things that's
ever happened. So Lewis comes out of the bungalow, and
you know he's studying finance and journalism, right, and I'm always.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Like, I'm quietly pushing him to be a stand up.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yes, he's sort of lost confidence with that. I think
he needs a little it's a confidence needs a g
up because he basically, I'm like, he did it twice.
Obviously got his ass handed to him, as you'd expect
to happen, but it really flattened him out and now
he's just been away from it for so long. Anyway, whatever,
I just think it's a good thing for him to experience.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
For the fainthearted. It really shocking that I do it,
to be fair, it doesn't match mean anyway. It's so
determined and I just just didn't zero doubt if you
were failing. I never I didn't fail.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Didn't you fail? You learn?

Speaker 4 (36:04):
You walk off and go? Why didn't that work as
well as I wanted to from the.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Very first time.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah, that's amazing, but it doesn't make any sense, it
really does.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
No, No, anyway, I'm very glad you are.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Anyway, So he's anxiety with anything else.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Well, I don't think you have crippling anxiety, to be honest,
thank you. I just don't think you don't think. I
think you're just normal. Thank you. Anyway, so he comes
in and he goes, Mum, look what I've just found.
And he holds up this website and on it it
says unclaimed funds Catherine lane Brook six thousand, eight hundred

(36:50):
and something dollars, And I'm like, what what? First of all,
what's my first thought?

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Scam? Of course, of course, or you owe six hous
it's a government part of my text.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
It's you know you sometimes the ads pop up or whatever,
have you got on claimed super or whatever? Once I
look them up, I didn't have any unclaimed super. I'm like,
I've never had a job, how would I have any super? Right? Anyway?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Were so similar, So yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
But I did look for myself anyway. So I went,
is that really We had the conversation. He goes, yeah, mum,
it was on they were talking about it in one
of his finance classes, that we only had this in Australia.
I think that it's a government thing. We'll put in
the show notes that you and it scans every bank account,

(37:39):
every whatever, and so I told Peter about it. You
know what it was, Sash? What do you remember When
Sash and I worked together at Nova, every girl in
the office started an I n G account. Do you
remember that, you're secret? Yeah, I leave my husband account, right.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Just sponsored the pod.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, we all, all the girls had it, and as
a joke, I would just call it my leaving my
husband account, right, So it was just money that wasn't
in a joint account. It wasn't in the thing because
they didn't even have a bricks and mortar bank. Still,
you did phone banking, right, How long ago was that? Yeah,
but you don't do phone banking, not even a thing.

(38:26):
That was the last time that I had any contact
with this bank. Account was still in the era of
phone banking. So it had I think five grand in
it that had grown too than eight hundred and so
this week I finally got around to calling because I
thought it was going to be I thought I'd need
three to do it. How do you do it with

(38:49):
there's a phone number on the web bank. I know
it's no longer with the bank. It's gone to Assek
or whatever, whoever runs this government website. Another miracle happened.
I called. Someone answered the phone after only a thirty
second wait, and it was an Australian woman called Donna.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
This story just keeps getting what was unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
It couldn't have seemed more like a scam. It was
too good to be true.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Donna from I n G six K for you scam.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
She said to me, I just had to verify my stuff.
Date of birth. That's always a bit dodgy.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Is this for real or.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
My wikied it would be a couple of them. And
she goes witches that she was not amused by the
thought that I made cheer up and then I had
to give my mother's maiden of something. Some security questions
love a security love, a security question. They all make
me nervous because I don't know them. No, I can't
remember your first car.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
I can't now what was my first dog's name?

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Now, I would say Biskey, because I've never had another
animal that I've just one.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
What's your favorite teacher?

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Correct? Correct?

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Anyway, who is a favorite teacher's name? As a fully
grown adult favorite teacher? I remember that was an option once?
What's it on a secret question?

Speaker 2 (40:12):
What are yours, sash, Oh, we don't have time anyway. No,
what was yours? A favorite teacher? Missus? Sure? Was she
a nun? No? No, she got she got monstered by
the nub. Not that all.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
Back to teachers, Galdof, Please.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
She had some angry nuns. Angry nuns. It's just you know,
if you went to a Catholic school where they had
brothers or.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Anyway, it's a whole nother pod.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
So Donna, literally I reckon it took She went, can
you hold for a moment? I think I was on
hold for probably three minutes, and she goes, that money
has been because it's unclaimed monies. You know, the government's
desperate to get all our money. All unclaimed monies go
back to the Federal Treasury or whatever they're held in trust.

(41:07):
Why is that cooking? It's just a fact, mate. Have
you not seen what's gone on in the last budget.
They're not going to be happy until an article The
other pocket in the country.

Speaker 4 (41:16):
Biggest loser of the new budget is anyone that's brought
a home in the last year. Hey, guys, well you
know what value it means. Other Australians, possibly far younger
than me, can afford to get into the housing mark.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
No, it does, idiot.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
It means more than happy to. It means that from
an investment anyway.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
I don't want to point out to you that's come over.
You're thinking so saddle empathy that is anyway. So then
she says to me, it's been returned to ACID, which
is the Australian Securities and Something commissioned Securities Industry Commission.
We don't need to know it any nine. They'll release

(41:59):
them in nine to ten weeks. You will receive a check.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
This is unheard of a check. So it's a scam.
A check, it's a scam.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Who's what do I even do with that?

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Do you cash a check?

Speaker 2 (42:13):
You know? What's so funny? I don't know what happens.
Do I take? Is it a piece of paper? I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
This is so odd that you say this because I
have to go into are you ready? I had to
go into a branch the other way because it had
been so long since I had set foot into it.
No use an account and opening an account that they
locked me. But then I did a job and they
paid me into that old account just because I accidentally

(42:39):
sent across me a very old invoice template. It's a
very boring story.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
I want that money.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
I had to go to a brand, a Commonwealth Bank brand.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
They shrilled to see you.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Well, this is my hey, some feedback for you, Commonwealth Bank.
How about less people on iPads dealing with the line
and just make them sit at an office and have
people be seen. What do you mean four people with
iPads dealing with people's name where you are, like.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Oh, when you are rund to sort you out into order?

Speaker 4 (43:09):
Four people in iPad?

Speaker 2 (43:10):
How about put three of them on the Yeah, yeah,
but that's like a on iPad at the stupa market.
Why have they got all these people roaming around to
check the people aren't stealing?

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Going back to AM radio, just get people.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
To serve people. Oh here he comes, here, he come.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
He Hello, sir, I'm visiting your branch. Put down the iPad.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Alan's back. How would Alan even know what an iPad?

Speaker 4 (43:37):
He's a time travel he's spoken about.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
By the way, my girlfriend Georgie sent a fantastic shadow labor.
We love that for next week. You to now give
it because we're craming this week anyway, So nine to
ten weeks. I put the date in my diary crazy
and we will see if a check arrives. But also,
you know what I loved, you know how my husband
who's planning to kill me in Nepal.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Again, I bring this up, by the way, all of
a sudden, we're finding money.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Okay, it belongs to you, right that I had no
idea here go Okay, So when we bought our house,
you know how, you've always got to consolidate finance and
basically you're scrabbling around down at the back of the
count should find some loose change, like every scene a kid. Yeah, yeah,
So I remember saying to Peter, oh, I've got that

(44:26):
iron g Candy goes. I've done everything with all the accounts.
You know, he gets a bit officious as someone.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Who while he's a liar, he's also a liar.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
He does someone who does a lot of admin for
very little gratitude, tends to get a bad attitude like
me during the lucial phase. That's him when he's on
his rag. Very grumpy anyway, And so when I told
him and Lewis and I, Lewis was so thrilled, as
he should be.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
He's just found cash.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
And I said to him, first of all, if this works,
I'll give you ten percent, and then I went five percent.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
But of course haggling down. Of course, I'm so bad.
I don't even know what that is.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
But I don't think my husband was quite as thrilled
as he should have been, because you know what, what
poor management on his.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
Bad Oh this is his lane is someone I have
consolidated all the bank accounts. And because we are, we've
got a banker meeting with your don't forget we are.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Because when you take responsibility in a relationship with one thing,
that is your thing, correct right now?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (45:33):
The couch? I chose it.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
It's there.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
He hates he hates it.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
He hates it. But the couch off the website.

Speaker 4 (45:41):
He hates it. It's a good couch. He hates.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 4 (45:43):
I don't know, but he's kept that to himself for
a couple of months.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
And he wants to be more, a bit more bed,
likes a bit more cozy, bit more man spreading, a
bit more coziness. What have you got to? Some mean
stiff as a yeah something and you've got it's med
sentury modern, some horrible, miserable vinyl color slip inside not really.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
But but and so now I have couch guilt because
this is my decision, and it was to sign on that.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Freaking do you know what, it's not a waiting room.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
It's not a waiting room. You want to make sure
I'm taking responsibility. I'm going to get it. I'm going
to deal with it.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Do you know what you're doing? Okay, No, you know
what you do?

Speaker 4 (46:33):
Cushions on it already, you know what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Jump really vigorously on it, break it, snap the leg,
and then return over. Yeah. Well yeah, And most important
of all, don't tell anyone that this is your plan
because a podcast, because you know, like, as we've realized now,

(46:57):
nothing's worth anything. When Sunday ordered her bed head, I
told you this didn't Sunday we got Sunday a bead
head for Christmas when she got a bigger bed right,
not for any reason.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
We love a good bed head, love a good bead head.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
And this one was quilted. Something must have happened to
it in a delivery van or at the warehouse or whatever,
and something had poked into the quilting and it had
a real deet in it that you couldn't get out,
like it almost have poked through the fabric, and Peter
contacted them and they just seen to another one and
Peter said, when are you're coming to collect this one?
They went, just keep it.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
That's how.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Things are word to make. Yeah, that it's more expensive
for them to send a delivery person and to organize
the labor to carry it back downstairs and take.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
It back to what to do with it? How annoying.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Well now it's still sitting in Peter. Yeah. And Artie
was going to have it for his but he can't
really fit a bigger bed in his room. He's too
he draumatic. Start to show with his mother.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
He doesn't real anyone near a bed.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah, standing up and rocking with the dog.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
He's on the dog bed. Anyway, That six grand ain't nothing.
That's a massive amount of money.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
So such a buck.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Let's just remound money.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Because when I come in in ninety ten weeks and
I'm like, I've got something to tell you something there
was there was a cat and it was a scam.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
But hang on, your son who's studying finance, looked it up.
Went they told him he did that contact.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
No, no, no, no, it's just come on. And so
then I started thinking people are knew to look up
their names. I'm like, that's ridiculous. Why don't I just
tell people, Oh, let's.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
Get Hughsey on and have him talking about politically.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Claim it because we know all his security questions.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
I would like to know the website.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
I actually thought, does Holly still have her secret iron
g acount? Because remember when he gave her the guilt money?
This web gave her a massive chunk of change. Relation.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Yeah, but I want all the buckheads to know what website.
They can go and find some cash if you because
of this domino effect. Yeah, buck EDGs find money so good,
I'll have to give some of it to us. No,
they don't five percent? What are you giving Lewis? Five?

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Five?

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Come five? Actually write spotters.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
Feet, spotters feet.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
We should have a Patreon dig ourselves out of this
hole anyway. How it's such a thrill. But Lewis was like, Oh,
here's this guy. He's got five dollars and twenty one
cents like that. You can see a list of names
that come up. It's absolutely thrilling. You would have little pockets,
of course I would.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
There's no doubt in my mind the amount of things
I open, don't close.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
You know.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
Also I've done in the past, open things for points
for flying.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Oh yeah, there's just.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Little things everywhere. And you sign up to this, you
get ten thousand points. Done that, never to seen again.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
All right?

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Said that because I've got a text message of the
day saying your you bank account's going to close. I
was like, I have a bank account, you back?

Speaker 2 (50:10):
What is you bank?

Speaker 4 (50:11):
Don't know? Probably scare them.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
I think they're all you know, just any I love it.
Never give up, hope.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
Never give up hope. Don't get a job, just go
and find money elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
It made it a really profitable week.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
Do you ever do something where you go someone saw
me do this. They think there's something wrong with me,
just in public. What in particular, I've started talking to
magpies now hear me?

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Oh hang on, sly jam, sly jam. No one was
more amused than when I was accused of being a
bird lady.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
Than you on this pop like a couple of teenage boys.
They thought you were a homeless bird woman who feeds
birds in a park. That's different.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
So now you've become the birdman. The birdman.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
Okay, So series of events.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
People said they're smart. Though.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Man spoke about it in the buck Up last year.
Heavily swooped, heavily, heavily swooped.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Do you ride a bicycle? No, I just can you
ride a bicycle?

Speaker 4 (51:19):
You know, last year my husband, who I have been
with for twelve years, when I told him I was
doing the Jungle. One of the first things he said,
and he didn't say in a funny way, He just
contemplated to himself, said I've never seen you run.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Oh that's right, yeah, right, remember that. But I thought
you were asking me if I've ride a bike for
that reason, because when we lived in Italy, uh huh.
You know, I don't like walking. I haven't picked up
on that, so I got a bike to speed up
the process of getting from one. But we lived in
a walking city in the city center, and I.

Speaker 4 (51:53):
Love loved it. Yeah, were riding a bike in Europe.
Come on, it's different. It's like the bread it's different.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
You don't have to wear a helmet.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
That isn't that romantic?

Speaker 2 (52:04):
And so you actually look beautiful riding a bike.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
And you were writing a book.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
It was I get I would too, all right, So proceed.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
If I rode a bike and Cody agrees because he
used to ride a lot. Yeah, I would die within
a day, as in I will get hit by a truck.
I don't understand how the lanes work. I don't know
who has right of way? Do you you know your bike?
If I'm on a bike on a city street or
any street, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
All right? So you know how people like to believe
that cultural characteristics are not genetic. I believe that they are.
People just go, oh, it's blue eyes and blonde hair,
but they won't acknowledge that any characteristics are carried on,
even though some of them may have musical ability, and
they'll go, oh, that's my great grandfather. I'm a mer

(52:54):
Drauma right, okay, but I'm Dutch. It's in your blood,
So put me on a bike. I mean, I'm not
probably the greatest, but I'm imbued with a confidence that
far exceeds my ability, and that I found in life

(53:15):
is a very important attribute.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
It's very good ride.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Shoes carved out of wood to keep sleeping off the petals. Yeah,
I'm just eating it. Pastry, bite out of my big e.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
Darm your apple dessert.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
No, not strudle well that's Germans.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
There's another one, the Dutch thing with the pastry and
the something. I know, I know it. I'm the complete opposite.
I have a I don't have an attention for details, right,
so I don't even know if I'm in my car,
I'm always good and a slowdown because I don't know
who's meant to do what.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Yeah, it'll kill me. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
So no with the dog. When that Magpie thing happened
the other last year, it just swooped and it hurt
and it was highly embarrassing, very embarrassing. I thought to myself,
it's never going to happen again. Magpie is kate again. No,
they they're smart.

Speaker 2 (54:11):
Oh yeah, apparently they remember you you, This is what
they say.

Speaker 4 (54:14):
They trust the area, they know the locals, they know
Apparently if you're a local, far less chance you're getting
get swooped than a random bike ride or a new
person to the area. They recognize you, they know if
you're safe, they know if they respect the area.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
And if you're safe.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
So down at one of our go tos with the dog. Yeah,
I am yappin at.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
A little magie established establishing a relationship, and how are
they It's.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
Not swooping season yet. The test will come when it's
swooping season. I'm doing some proactive magpie war.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Are you bringing them any treats?

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Or that's not good one?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
I don't know if that's a good idea.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
Maybe not there.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Well, no, I'll tell you why. I'm not that I'm
anti feeding birds. I mean, I'm really of course, I'm
very pro feeding birds. Uh huh. But maybe they'll become
aggressive when they see you if you turn up without.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
Without the food. This is an aggressive family. There's an
actual sign on the tree that says this area they
are they are nasty magpies. That's in more council terms
than that. But I'm like, well, okay, there's even.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
A sign now, And what do you say to that,
little Maggie? Is that how you talk to them?

Speaker 4 (55:32):
We just looked at me like I love that?

Speaker 2 (55:35):
And what do they pay any attention?

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Because I'm always maybe a bird a birdwatcher. Twitter will
message us this, yeah, right, what are they doing when
they're in formation on the ground? I don't like this?

Speaker 2 (55:48):
What do you mean? You'll see the ground.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
And they're like standing so clearly in some sort of
protection stance next to each other. They're like towering the area.
What is going on here? I just interrupt, I've lost
my mind.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Yeah, you've lost your mind, like you've really and not
only that, you've lost the crowd. Last fifteen minutes on,
we just really have. I feel like I'm watching a
Geraldine Hickey show. It's like, I don't better nature. She
can do nature. I don't expect that from you. In fact,

(56:22):
that's one of the reasons I like you. Don't make
me unlike you.

Speaker 4 (56:26):
Sorry, back inside, Yeah, I give.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
My interested interestingly. Swooping season will coincide with whether or
not I get a check from a from so we'll
both have things.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
So here's the episode, Cliffhanger, will make money? Will Nate
get swooped? That's a season finale, Got.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
New magpie friends love that.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
I'm going to roll the dice about my glasses. Would
you love here?

Speaker 2 (56:55):
And we go?

Speaker 4 (56:56):
Here we go?

Speaker 2 (56:57):
I'd rather hear about I'll just tell you all right, perceived, Okay,
go on?

Speaker 4 (57:09):
Are you comfortable?

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Okay? This is one of those texts from mums.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Where you're settling.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
You've got to have a shiny little faint Jamie.

Hello Buck, right, now, do you know what you look
like a gingerbread man. Your eyes were all shiny, and
you're brown, and you've got like your eyes Chinese, and
your eyes are like little currants, and you look happy
like you've got a little man. You're very cute and twinkly.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
Hi, James, I hope you're enjoying the nice weather. The
tickets to the every Man arrived yesterday.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
What's the every Man?

Speaker 4 (57:46):

enjoy it. Went to the Lighter yesterday the venue pub

friend in Cheltenham General who had not for her hip
after waiting for a year spend in the last three
months beforehand in agony and has since had a stroke

(58:07):
and they have now found out she has paining credit
cancer that has spread to her liver. It is so sad.
I don't think she will make it out of hospital.
They are coming to finish the solar panel bracket today,
so we'll be glad when that is done and scaffolding
comes down. Looks like it's going to be a nice
weekend to dry to try for the marathon.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
For them were obviously the daughters have a good weekend
oh it's a text. Oh my goodness, hit that is
the greatest hits. That is.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
That is this is grim. But I'm going to say
something that's hard to talk. This is grim. But this
is the text from mum world. I have to say
it because this is a text from mom. They love
bad cancer, they love it.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
They love the bad ones.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
The ones that you know what my mom does say.
It's a time for mom.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Mom's favorite one ever involves this gesture, right, that was
her favorite one ever and it is I was probably
about twelve, and it is indelibly seared upon my up
front of Corte.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Up is a hint for everyone up because yeah, up,
that is grim. Yeah, the bad attext from mum.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
And it's started off so.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
She had a nice time.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
I don't put it in there. Dah dah the r
top the mother, the r top, the mother. She is mother.
There ain't no other.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
Do you reckon? She's ever sat down with Jamie and
put on soft porn with him?

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Oh, I just keep failing good show. I've never been well.
I lost my appetite for it. It's a bit it's
very young, yeah it is, and a bit undercooked, like.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
A lot of those shows because of heated rivalry for
the next year. Yes, it's going to have be put
up everyone at Rootin and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Athletes and athletes. I found the casting interesting. The lead girl.
I found she kind of looked like you could see
what she'll be like as a fifty year old divorce.
Do you know what I mean? I thrilled to hear that, like,
she doesn't have that, she's not an ongenu.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
And did you finish the Kylie doc?

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
And she revealed that she had cancer again and didn't
tell anyone. That's a text from mom Kylie. Kylie Dog
ended as a text from oh and you know who?

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
I love Nick Kay.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
I wish I like his music one.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
I love that song. That's my favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Duet, where the Wild He's So Low?

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Because I always thought I always got the lyrics wrong.
You know, get the lyrics wrong. You think it was
that though my name is Eliza Dane.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
Oh yeah, I thought it's Eliza Dane. It's Eliza Day.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Yeah. I only found that out quite recently when I
was singing at Lastly.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
That film clip gives me a visceral studio, everyone says,
gives me a hardcore Saturday Morning video hits memory of
that film clip.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
And he's so in love with her. I thought the
same thing, Yeah, but not like in proper love. What
about when he said, do you want to stop talking?
What about when he said when he was talking about
the Bad Seats who were this iconic sort of punk
goth yes, so dark dark, when he said we were

(01:01:42):
all like the most miserable men ever, and her coming
in when she first went, they hadn't met to record.
It's as like light entering the room. Is that it amazing?
And that she was the first person any of them
had ever met who loved life. Isn't that unbelieveable? No

(01:02:03):
wonder Michael Hutchins just wanted a powder into the ground.
