Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Imagine, if you will, that you are in a place
of great beauty. Some teenage boys walk past you.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
They yell out, Hey, bitch tits.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
The world, you see, is a place of paradox, of
beauty and cruelty. It will cut you off at the knees,
then gift you a pair of Yeezys. And that, my friends,
is why you always, always need a buck up.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
A buck up. With Goofy For You.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Written across your boobs.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
My t-shirt.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hello, Kate Lambrook.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh, Nate Valvo, the one and only.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Thank you. What are you flashing? Oh, you're top.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm looking at Sarge. She's taking a picture. Why?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Why? For the police. Why are you pointing it at me?
It should be at him.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
What have I done?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Crime. It's legal now.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
You voted yes. I hope.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh, what do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I don't know. Thank you. You know what? I don't
reckon you voted for gay marriage at all because two
things that you would have had to have done. One,
find a pen, vote, and then find a post office box.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, no.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Not a chance in hell.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
When I fossick around in my– I don't think– I
thought I voted live somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Live? I thought I voted in the country. I think
you're thinking of The Voice, the TV show. I'm sorry, but–
I thought we stopped. The gay marriage vote wasn't via
text with Ricky Lee telling you to vote now.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I thought we were in a country town somewhere.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Uh-huh. You may have been.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh, no, that was the other voice.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Oh, the voice one.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, it must have been the voice, the voice one.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
But for the gay one, I think maybe like the
voice one, you had several days.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
To do it.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, because people did it.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
In fact, I think even weeks out, some people had
done it.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
You're allowed to vote whenever you want. Hey, well done, everyone,
for the first one. And you know what? I feel
like we've been on school break.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Because we loaded up last week's episode. We've had two
weeks off.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Uh-huh. And that's weird for us because I honestly feel
like I haven't seen you for so long.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
I didn't even recognise you.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Is there always someone? In the corner watching us?

Speaker 3 (02:37):
The little girl, the little haunted girl.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
The little girl from The Ring. I knew I knew
her from somewhere.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
She called out of the TV.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Oh, she sure did.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh, that movie scared the crap out of me when
I saw it.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Sasha Trench! The greatest producer in the land. Even, I
thought she was in a well, the girl from The Ring.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
She climbed out of the well and then climbed out
of the TV.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
That's the big ending.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
That's right. I don't find climbing out of the TV
so scary. Probably because I've spent a lot of time
in the TV.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
You're in the TV. Do you know what I mean?
You are the woman from the ring. But I find.
You're other people's fear. What if she crawls out? I'm
the substance.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I'm the substance.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, you're not. Well, what?

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Remember that?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
The movie?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, but which one?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Horrendous.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Which one are you?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Well, I'm obviously not the beautiful one. Okay, I know.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
What's her name?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
What's her name? Kweli. Kweli. Margaret Kweli. Kweli. Nepo. Yes.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Big Nepo. But she's also really good.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I'm going to say it. I'm on board. Talented Nepos.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Me too.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, people suck. Because you know my favourite Nepo is.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Dakota Johnson. Is she a Nepo?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Who's her parents? I did not know this.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Her mother is Working Girl. What's her name? Melanie Griffith.
And her father is Don Johnson.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Was he in Miami Vice?

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I really didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
She's like my favorite of all. She's just, I find
her so stunning and captivating. Oh, hang on.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
I think I'm thinking of someone else. I'm thinking of
the blonde one, Dakota. What's her name?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Fanning.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah. That's who I was thinking of. That's why I
didn't know.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, you know, this is an amazing sociological thing. Society's
given us all different names. In some cultures, they don't
do that. They all have the same name and you
have to remember them by the first, the second, the whatever.
But in our society, we tend to have a first.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
I thought you were sick. I thought this ep was
going to be easy for me.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I just, you've done that on purpose.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Let me just say this. Let me say this.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Just so I can put on me killing pants.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Dakota Johnson. Yes. Your one that you just spoke about.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I love her.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
I think she's. stunningly good looking.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I find her exceptionally boring in stuff.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think that there's not a huge range with her.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I'm bored when she's on something.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, I'm not bored just because I find her.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
But she's hot.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Exquisite. And also I'm intrigued about, can you imagine, okay,
how dull the relationship was when she was going out
with Coldplay?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
She was with Coldplay?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I didn't even know that.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Okay, the Buckwits, the Buckheads, the Bucksticles, the Buccaneers, the Buckles,
the Buckwits, the Buckets.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh, yeah, the Buckets.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
They know that we like to discuss old news on
this pod, but I reckon it's going to get old
real quick if every bit of old news is new
to one of us.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Coming up next, the Y2K bug. I want all this
gear out of the Y2K bug.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
How was that? Do you know what? We were the
conspiracy theorists when we needed them then to call out
the truth about what was going on. Give me the clicker.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Give me the clicker.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
When everyone was losing their collective mind because they programmed
the computer and they didn't put enough spaces in. So
when 1999 happened, it's not going to be able to
tick over to year 2000. Plans are going to fall
out of the sky.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't actually remember Y2K New Year's Eve. I don't
remember 99 ticking over to 2000. I was in year 11.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Well, you know what I did?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
What did you do?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
So we decided that if the world was going to
go to shison because of technology failing.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
You were childless at the time. Who were you with?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Peter. I had to think. I was with Peter. In 1999?

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
It depends on who's listening. No, no. I was with
Peter and we decided that we would go where technology
didn't matter. So a group of 10 of us organised
to meet up in Vietnam. Okay. And we were just like,
let's go to Vietnam.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
You flew there.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, we flew there, but we flew there before.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Not during the countdown.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
We're not rolling the dice on.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah. And worst case scenario, we've Flights are grounded. You're
in Vietnam for a while.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Correct. And also, they know how to– they've been doing
things the same way for thousands of years. That's where
you want to be. Yeah. Not like here where the
computer says no. Oh, the screen's gone all black. What's
that about? You don't want that.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
What's that about?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
But, you know, you don't want to be here where
people are so reliant on– Just technology to tell them
what to do. I can't do, you need to get online.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
It wasn't as bad as that in 99, surely not.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
No, but it was hitting that. What about what's happened now?

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I don't remember Y2K, but I do remember. Let's go
real grim. You don't remember.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Something that happened when you were in grade 11 at school?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Well, no, but I was going to say, I do
remember I saw 9-11 live on the news when I
was at my friend James's house in year 12 getting ripped.
We're getting stoned.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Getting ripped.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
We're getting stoned.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're on the billy.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
And then we had like a Channel 10 news on.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Gee, that would have put you off weed forever.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
I haven't touched it since. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
And then we watched it live. Like Sandra Sully was
doing the news.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
She did.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
And it all went down.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
That was a seminal moment. And in fact for the
world if we think about it.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
I think it was more than just Sandra Sully was
touched by 9-11, yes.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Hang on. You're the one making the observation and then
pulling me up on it. You're a terrible person.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
I remember that. I don't remember Y2K, though.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
No, and you know why? Why? There was nothing to remember.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh, that's why.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
And that's why we're with the conspiracy theorists. They must
have been out there then going, oh, this is just.
But once again, you know what it is? And here's
our message to everybody. The world thrives on. The people
who have power thrive on driving people into a place
of panic. Just you look at whatever's happening, there's people

(09:00):
making panic, even for pregnant women now, you know. Oh,
he lays a piece of cheese. Oh, the baby's going
to drop out on its head. Like, you know, they
just always want to make people panic.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Cheese makes babies drop out on their head?

Speaker 2 (09:13):
The list that they now give pregnant women, the list
of exclusions is, But no, but it's designed to create
enormous amounts of fear. That makes you very compliant because,
of course, nobody wants the baby to drop out on
its head.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Who does?

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't. Although at some point you'll get in your pregnancy,
you'll be like, I don't care how the baby comes out.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
You'll drop them.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's just got to come. It's got to come. Pull
it out through my nose.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Eat more cheese. I feel like in the last couple
of weeks I have been your personal assistant and I
am fielding questions from left, right.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I'm desperate for a personal assistant.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm fielding questions that people that don't know you, randoms
on the DMs. Have you been paying attention the other day?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Everyone's asking me about that.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Is Kate going to Nepal is a question that everyone
is asking. asking.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
And is it really messed up? Oh, I'm going to
admit something.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh, why?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
The disaster is horrific and terrible. It's beyond. But I
can't lie. One of the first thoughts I had was you.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yes. Well, okay. Is that weird?

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Is that disrespectful?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
It sort of seems weird, but it's like I think
your instinct is always to hook on to what you
know about something. And because you, unlike me, don't have
any Nepalese friends.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
What a drop. What a drop.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Luckily, Nitesh is in Sydney.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Okay. Nitesh would know many people.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Every Nepalese knows.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
And also when events like this happen, it's also a
reminder of just how bad I am at geography.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Empathy.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Excuse me. And how big places are.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Ah, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
And borders.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Of course. Of course. But you know, why would you
know about that off the top of your noggin? I'm
going there.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Have you met our husbands?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
And I still did. Yeah, but I've been tuning him
out since as we established 1999. Right? He was like
the Y2K bug.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I can't wait to find out that you went to
Vietnam with someone else.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Imagine that. And I'll be like, Sash, you have to
get yak to cut it out. Cut it out. Anyway,
so we all met. It was brilliant. Nepal.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Okay. This has been, as you said, because it's two
weeks since we last convened, us three witches.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
The cauldron of the buck up. Lots of texts.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I have news. I see I have news over there.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
What am I?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Spawn of frog.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh, that came away too quick.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
That sounds like one of your purchase.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Spawn.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm never wearing spawn of frog.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
What are you wearing?

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Frog. That is not one of my scent. That's not
a top note I look for.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Anyway, so terrible. So it has been a subject of
discussion in our house. When I first heard the news,
I was in Adelaide. I was in Adelaide with some
girlfriends and my first thought was after, you know, well,

(12:19):
that's obviously the trip's not going to happen. The trip
can't happen. And so I called my husband. I was
with my girlfriend Georgie. We were watching the morning news.
And when we saw the scale of it, when you see,
you know, for people who don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Aerial shots.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
A glacier snapped off. Mm-hmm. And then came down this
riverbed and it followed the course of the river for
a little while. And then it just was too huge.
And it smashed through the banks and it smashed through
these houses clinging to hilltops. And it was just absolute
mud and devastation. Anyway, Georgie was like, well, there's no

(12:59):
way you're going. And I said, no, there's no way
I'm going. And my first thought about that I'm not
going was not... maybe because it was compared to what
the Nepalese are going through, but my first thought was
not unhappiness, that I wasn't going.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Bit of relief.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's going a bit far.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
I mean, Kmart has a return policy on $ 25 poles.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Not if they're broken.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh, yeah, you broke them. By the way, they're still
at Comedy Republic.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Oh, someone might need them. At some point a comedian's
going to need them to get up or down those stairs,
those back stairs. I reckon they're what done me in. Anyway,
so I called my husband and said, He said, no, no,
the trip's still going ahead. And I said, it can't be.
And he goes, yep, it's going ahead. We were messaging

(13:45):
Fossington Smythe this morning and it was in a different valley,
he said.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
How close? Are you near the border?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, you know what? Apparently it's 400 miles away.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's a really long way.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
It's a really long way. But so then I said
to Peter.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
It's almost like mountains are big.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, exactly. Exactly. And I hadn't heard that about.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Annapurna.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Quite big.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I hadn't heard that. Apparently there's one called Everest. It's
really big. Anyway, so it's been a back and forth
in our household for the last week and a half.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
So to recap.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
You don't want to go. Pete wants to go. Okay.
Back and forth.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
And we've had dueling ideological positions on it. So I
said to him, Because it was, you know, the buckwits,
the buccaneers, the buckles.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
You said a short F.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Why don't you ever help me with that?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Because it's my favourite thing.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Okay, et cetera. We all know what fun and silliness
it seemed like. The thought that I was even attempting
it was ludicrous and there was a lot of joy
around it. And now there's no joy around it. Like
it's just... I said to Peter, I'm not going to
be there and feel anything other than, you know, how

(15:06):
are the porters and were their families affected and la
la la. But here's the thing. The Nepalese people who
were doing the homestays that we're staying at have sent
a message saying, please come to Nepal. The only money
that we make is in trekking season, we make our

(15:26):
money out of tourism.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
I did think this.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
They actually sent that message. Yeah. We are waiting to
welcome you.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
This often happens. When there's a disaster somewhere, one of
the first things they do is say, come back. Yes,
that's right. Remember our bushfires?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
They're like, please come back, come out here, book the hotels. Yes, yes.
Eat at the places.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
But I can't. I don't. And absolutely.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
What about the rest of the crew that are going?

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Well, there's been a lot of back and forth. So
Peter and I are in these dueling things where he
sends me, the Nepalese people want you to come back.
We're waiting to welcome you. And then I'll send him
a picture of a family still looking for loved ones.
They are still looking, right? That's right. They're still looking.
Australia's sending two RAAF jets to help in the rescue mission.

(16:12):
So we're doing this back and forth, right? It's just
a form of silent warfare.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
But then this was the decider for me. I got
sick again and I've got a respiratory, I had a
respiratory infection, you know, that we had to cancel our
first live buck up. Then we did the second live
buck up and then I got COVID, which is insane.
Is it 2021? I just can't.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Believe you tested, to be honest. That was the moment.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Well, you know why I had to?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
When you said that pic, I thought you were playing
an AI trick where you typed in somewhere, show me
having a COVID.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I actually, you know, I normally wouldn't have. But I
think even at this point, I'm like, I want to
know what's going on with myself. And I had had
another telehealth. I've gone from not having seen a doctor
in eight years to now I'm every day. Telehealth.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Welcome to my life. Oh, I love it. Isn't that
a thrill?

Speaker 2 (17:05):
I love it. They pass on regards to you. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Thank you for putting my kid through school.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
So now I had to say to Peter, I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Wow. Okay. What's Pete's?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Okay. So, you know, my husband, my darling husband, who
I love.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
A very kind man, by the way.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Very, very kind man, which is why I would always
follow his moral compass more than mine about what's the
right thing to do. I agree. Except in this case,
I ain't following his compass.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Back to the drawing board, Pete.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
But what did you ask? Oh, so when I told him,
when I finally told him that I wasn't going, he
was really annoyed and I could tell he was annoyed
because he always says this when he's annoyed. Fair enough.
Fair enough from a man is like fine from a woman.

(18:03):
It ain't fine and it ain't fair enough. Yeah. So
he then sent a message to my manager, weirdly, Mel,
because I'd been having a conversation with her about it.
And I think he kind of wanted to hold her
a bit responsible. So he said, I understand why Kate's
not going. I understand the reasons. It's sad. Not as

(18:24):
sad as the situation in Nepal. But you need to
help her get her money back for her airfare on insurance.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
What's Mel got to do with that?

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh, nothing. Like literally nothing.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
When I saw him send that email. Send an episode
of No Filter to the contest.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
When he sent that, I was like, that's how I
could tell he was annoyed and disappointed.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Probably more disappointed. But also at the same time, if
someone else can actually do that. Nitty gritty paperwork.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well, she can't do it.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, I know, but it's above her pay grade.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Because she replied to him. I love it.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Oh, God, it's all going on.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, iron fist him. It's been a lot. Yeah. She replied, hi, Pete.
Normally the person that makes the bookings is the person
that has to ask for a refund. Happy to help.
But I really don't have any details on this trip, right?
So that's how I knew he was really.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah. And I get it.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
He's looking so forward to it. He's done all the training.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
I mean, yes, again, we know there's more devastating things happening,
but two things can be true at the same time.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
This can also be very sad.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh, my goodness. I'm so glad you invented that.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I did. Thank you. It's very sad. Can't we just, like, postpone?
This is what I said. Just wait a couple of months.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Why don't we?

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Why is there a season?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, it's got to be trekking season because of snow.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Okay. So it's like the snow's so intense you can't even.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
So this is autumn now there. You know, it's like
when they climb Everest.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
There's a time.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's why it's so busy.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Correct. And if things go wrong, green boots.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Right.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Red boots? No.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
No, green boots.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Green boots.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
By the way, Peter told me they know who he is.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
And India, he's an Indian and India's planning a rescue mission.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
To go get green boots.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
I mean, sometimes a year seems like a long time,
but it's also not. Especially in that year if you've
got to train to climb a mountain.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
What's a year?

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
I am.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm not married to you. Okay. And this is the
only time in my life that I'm wishing I was.
Why not? Because this is a very, you are exactly
my thoughts. But also, you know what I think?

Speaker 3 (20:29):
You've just hung out with the quitter, me, the other
quitter in your life.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yeah, well, that's it. And I do feel like a quitter.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I just sent Cody with him.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Well, that's, even I was like, I'll send one of
the children. They could leap up like a gazelle. Although
I did suggest it to Artie on number three and
he went, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
So it's official, right?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
It's official. I'm not going and he still is. Oh,
Pete's going.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
But in between, I.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Had still, yeah, he's determined to go. Okay, all right.
He's also now, he doesn't want to let down anyone.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Anyone.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Except me. He's let me down.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Do you think he's letting you down by going?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, because... that means I'll never get to climb up Annapurna.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
He'll go again. He'll get a taste.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Do you reckon he would?

Speaker 3 (21:16):
He'll get a taste and he'll be like, oh, I
want to go even higher next time.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Anyway, that's where we're at. Okay. And then at one
stage he was like, I said, you know, because we've
talked about it a lot on the buck up and
it's what I said earlier, you know, it's been just
a thing of joy and it's such a ridiculous thing
for me to be attempting to do. This is how
I really knew he was really scraping the bottom of
the barrel. He said, he said, Maybe the buck up

(21:40):
could have a fundraiser.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
For what? Nepal. No, for the people of Nepal.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
For the people of Nepal.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Hey, Buckheads, donate now to whatever reputable charity, please. That said, we.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Were flying business class.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Okay, yeah. You are the real victims here.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Okay. Well, because I said to Peter, if it's going
to be torture when I get there.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Our joke was that's your last flight you'll ever take.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, correct. So I was like. I'm going there to
work hard. I'm not going to work hard on the plane.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
You need your neck in good condition.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
So he made a fatal error.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Uh-oh.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
When he was first going through all the admin of
what he'd have to do and flights and blah, blah, blah, blah,
he said, and I'll have to change my flight. And
I said, why change your flight? He said, well, I'm
obviously not flying business class without you. What a grievous error.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
We are different people, Pete.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
No, no. No, no.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
No.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Because then when I reminded him of it the other day,
I could tell then he was wishing that he could
take those words back. But I really hadn't.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Let him.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
You know what I said?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
What?

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I said, darling, by the time you've, because you've got
to pay to change each leg.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Yes. Right?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
I said, you'll still have the money that you've got
left over from when you change your flight to economy. Economy?

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Economy.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
I fly it and I can't say it.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Anyway, that other one. I said, you'll be able to
make a sizable donation to Nepal.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
And he went, oh, yes, I suppose I could, and
walked into his study. You win.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Kate wins.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
No, he hasn't done it yet.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
He hasn't done it yet.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I reckon he wants to leave it.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Do you think he'll still go?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
He'll actually go? He's 100% going. If there's one thing
about my husband, he is. He's adorable. His word is
his bond.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Except about changing his flight from business class to economy.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Quite a good trait in a partner, throwing that out.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Well, Kate, what can I say?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Oh, Valvo, it's been such a.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
It's landed with a thud.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
But also, you know the cards? It's a thud. It's
a thud. You pulled the death card. Yeah, the cards.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
I almost took that video down off our Instagram.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
After certain events.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, but the context was in me. It wasn't about
the country, but overall.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Overall.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
You're like, that is too.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
It's wild.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
So in the face of all of that.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
And me hobbling.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Along with my stick. And we had a whole bunch
of Nepal in last week's episode, but out of respect,
we took it out of the app, obviously.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yes, we did.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
We cut it all out. And so this is the
end of your Nepal journey. This is it.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Well, that's fair.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
For you, at the moment. At the moment.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well, now I'm just the wife waiting for her mountaineering
husband to come home.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well, that's quite dramatic.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I know. I think I'll light a candle.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
At a window.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
And keep it burning.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Looking out.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's also a sign, like they used to leave the
box of Omo. In the window, old man's out.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Didn't I know this?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, it was code.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Old man's out.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
It was old man's out. I'll have a candle for
the neighbour.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Got to tell the emperor, wait, calm down. Longer than,
how long.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Do you think it takes to betray your husband? Wouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Wouldn't know, Kate.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Oh, yes. How beautiful.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
How beautiful.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Because we always do wonder.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
About who?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Us.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh, we're open.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, we're not. I'm so sorry. No, I'm so glad
you're not.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah. No, no, who are you sorry to? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
It just seems like sometimes I feel like I let
my community down by being in certain aspects what some
people in my community would call quite old-fashioned.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yes. But you know what? You know how we were
talking earlier about the vote and the 67%? Uh-huh, uh-huh. Well,
part of that is... gives you the opportunity if you
choose in your community to rewrite how you conduct your relationship.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
We fought for the choice, my friends.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
So to be vanilla. And also.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
You fought to be vanilla. As I said.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
And you know what? Vanilla, most popular flavour.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, apparently it is.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, what do you think it would be? Well, my
joke in my show last year is we fought for
the right to fight in 40 Winks because we had
a fight in 40 Winks.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
And I was like, yeah, this is what my forefathers
fought for. Oh, yes.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
You know? Standing on the shoulders of giants. I love
it for you.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Well, look, you've had your dramas. I've had my dramas
on equal. Not really.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Why? I have.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Advice for all young people, and I have found.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Is it about curtain colour?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
No, I have found. Oh, yeah, we saw some text
about curtain colour the other day. How's that?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
For gay rights. That's what I fought for, to send
Kate pics of curtain colours. That was funny. What did
you say? You said, oh, you can't say the colour
rust in your bedroom.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
I said, bad French way to say the colour is
rust in the bedroom. I said, we will call it russet.
We're not calling it rust. I've got rust in the bedroom.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
No. Well, you wanted me to have gold and red.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, no, no.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
First of all, you said to me. And I said, well,
considering I don't sleep in a Chinese restaurant, I don't
want those to.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Be the colour. No, you said my options are gold
or rust. I said I would always go for gold
because gold is good fortune. It's true. And then you
sent me the picture of the gold.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
And that wasn't good gold.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's like on a bucker.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
It was yellowy. Yellow.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, it was really. Not good. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
And that was cute.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
But you'll never say rust again.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Never.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
And also, you know why? What? Why?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Why?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Rust never sleeps.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
Oh, but either do I, so that's not good, but
I don't.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
That's why you can't have rust in the bedroom. Rust
never sleeps. Russet? Russet. Russet. Oh. Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
What's the tip? No, no, but firstly, here is a
tip if you want to be rich in this country,
and it's hard to do that now.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yes, it's hard.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
And young people out there who don't. I didn't say
the name. For young people out there who go, what
can't AI touch? What job will pay.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
That is safe.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
From the AI machine? And let me tell you, I
have found it. Have you? And I've experienced it since
I last saw you.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
I used to be a dink.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Double income, no kids. Now there's no incomes. It's all
gone for this one service that I had to pay for.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Oh. Hang on. Locksmith.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Locksmith. Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Locksmith. Locksmith.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
If you want a trade that is going to buy
you a mansion. Yes. That is going to make you
that cash.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Did you lock yourself out?

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Of course I did. Don't you have a spare key?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Well, look.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
You'd think so. Oh, here we go. Sitting with my
husband again. No, but I know myself. Funny, I fought
for gay rights. I've got a wife. And here she is.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Okay, you've got a fish wife.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
I've got a low self.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
But. Because I know myself being similar to you and
often not having a key.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Not one for details and proactive planning.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
So I have hidden a key and I've told everyone
where it's hidden because I know I'm also very unlikely
to remember where I've hidden it.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yes. I have two hidden keys.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
But I didn't realise I had used them both. LAUGHTER
And not put them back.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Right. So three lost keys.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
I haven't put them back. Well, no, the other ones
weren't lost. They were just in the house.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
They lost. Effectively, they lost. If you're outside the house,
do you know what? You at this point don't have
a leg.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
To stand on.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
You've found your energy. I really have. You have sparked up.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
I'm loving this.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
I'm loving it. Do you know where the two spare
keys and my keys are? All in that little bowl.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Together. Just after the front door.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Inside.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Of course. And everyone knew that's where they would be.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
And every time you've walked past, oh.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
I must remember to put the keys out. Got to
put them back out. Got to put them back out.
$ 650 is the locks. But here's two reasons why it
went up. One, I had to have a Zoom. I
could not move because it was a pretty important one.
Work related that was good.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Oh, in your front yard.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
No, inside.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Oh, you had to get inside to get your food.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
It was time pressure. It was early morning. It was
something from America was going to be. What time? It
was so early, like eight something.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
I love you. Can we just all enjoy for a moment?
Hang on. It's about buckheads, buckwits, buckstacles, buckles, bucknuts, etc.
Are grappling with the concept of that you're having a breakdown? No.
A what? A meeting.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Excuse me.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
That makes you sound like a very successful.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
And guess where I was coming home from? The airport.
That's how early my flight was.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
What?

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
And about to have a Zoom with American. Are we
talking US dollar?

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Well, maybe one day. Oh, I love it.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
But who knows?

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Anyhoo, so this is where the locksmith gets you. Oh,
we can, we'll see you in four to six hours.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
However, if you want priority and we can get there
within 30 minutes, it's a $ 280 emergency call-out fee on
top of the service fee.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
$ 650. And let me tell you. Two seconds.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Two seconds. Well, sort of, but also, who is this guy?
This is getting into houses.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
You know who he is?

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Like, I mean, full trust.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
You know who he is? Maybe, I hope.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
A robber.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
He's actually a robber that just doesn't go in and
follow through. He literally. These were my thoughts. He's a
break and enter.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
These were my thoughts. He had three suitcases, too many.
It's all a bit of a show.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
Did they all have?

Speaker 3 (31:34):
One was this, one was that. This thing had some, like.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
He didn't know what to expect, did he?

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Some sort of like shaving cream apparatus that he like
put through the thing. By the way, worst part, Darby
going absolutely nuts the whole time.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh, inside.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
She's going up to the window looking out.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh, of course.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
It gets even worse.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
She'd be desperate.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
And anyone with a ring camera knows this. This is
happening to all couples.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Guess who's watching all this unfold via camera.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
And loving every.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
No, where was he?

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Interstate.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Oh, no. He's up in Sydney. And he's up early.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Watching on the app.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Oh, no.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Screen capping, sending me zoomed in pics of me bending
over pot plants. Looking in bushes, looking back in the
car to see if the keys were back in there.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
All unflattering angles.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
No one looks good squatting. I do.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
But not hunched over a pot plant. That's pure fentanyl.
That's just a bad look.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
But here was the risk. It ended up paying off.
Not paying off. It was okay, but I would never
tell Cody this if it ended up the other way. Right.
I didn't know if the back door was locked. Right?

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Right.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Why didn't you go round?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
To get to the back, I would have to knock
on the neighbour's door.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Go through their house. Yeah. Go to their backyard.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Haven't you got a fence you can leap?

Speaker 3 (32:56):
There. It has to be from their side.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Oh, okay. Yeah. Good. I like this for security reasons.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
I could go all the way around.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
The house that we back onto, but I've never met
those people. Right. The ones next door are our next
door neighbours.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah. But that would mean they would have to watch
me climb their fence.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
And you would have had tight pants on. No, I
don't wear tight pants anymore. They're still tighter than they
should be. What are you looking? They just... You know,
you haven't really embraced.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yes, I have.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
No, you haven't.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
I don't have the skinnies.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Stand up now. No, they're not skinny.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I don't have the skinnies.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
They're not.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I have regular fit.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
You know what? Regular fit is not baggy. This is
regular fit. You can't get over a fence in those.
This is regular fit. Yeah, but they're regular fit, but
they're like for a six-year-old boy. So they're very snug
on you.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
So here is the decision I made.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
I am going to pay for a locksmith and risk it. Yes, dignity.
Thank you. I don't want my neighbours.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Excellent decision.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
And their side of the fence doesn't have the planks,
the rings bit. That's our side of the fence. So
how was I going to get up?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
You would have had to ask to borrow a ladder.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Leg me up.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Leg me up. Leg me up.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Knock, knock, knock.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Excuse me.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I have a Zoom. Can you leg me up?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah. Leg me up. I don't even know what it's called.
What's it called? It's like a leg up. Yeah, he's
had a leg up. Give me a leg up. Oh, look, see,
greatest producer in the land.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Give me a leg up.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
She didn't even have to Google that.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Mm-hmm. So I thought, you know what?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, no. You know what?

Speaker 3 (34:27):
No amount of money is going to have me hopping
over a fence.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I'd get stuck.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know what I'd get stuck? I'd get stuck one
leg over.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
At the top. Yeah. And then you know what? There'd
be an ominous ripping sound from your too tight pants.
And then is it one of those wooden, paling bleach?

Speaker 3 (34:43):
It's all old and wood.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, they're always bleached.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
And don't forget, if the back door was locked, I
had to go back again.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's two overs.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
No, no, no, no, no. You made completely the right call.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
This is the whole point of being a dink. Right?

Speaker 3 (35:00):
You can make these decisions.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Double income, no kids. I'm going to the locksmith. I'm
paying for the fee.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Or dink. Dickhead in nice knickers.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
There we go. And so I get in.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
That's knickers with a cake.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
I finally get in. Do you check the back door
first thing?

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Thank you, Locksmith.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Here's your house deposit for your future.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
What was his vibe?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
He was actually very lovely.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, but what was he like?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
He was.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
I want more details.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
I would say 45.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Did he look like? He might go surfing on the weekends.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
No, no. He really did look like, you'd think, glasses.
He looked like someone who would be very good on
a computer. He looked very nerdy, very nerdy.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
In a film about hackers. Yes, he's a hacker.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
He's a hacker.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Oh, I love him.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
There's no doubt in my mind he's a hacker. Yeah.
He sits at home, then he gets a little call out.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Okay, you know how you said AI will never replace this?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Locksmith, no way.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Do you know how physical he had to get? He
was pushing and pulling.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
It was kind of hot. Obviously, you can't imagine the
future the way I can. So the locks will all
be electronic.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Fight it. Fight it. Fight it.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
People aren't fighting cash.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Fight it.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
People aren't fighting cash.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Here's me going fight it as my husband watches on
a security camera on an app.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah, that's right. Laughing.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Zooming in. Laughing. So he left and I went to
the back door.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
It was open.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
It was locked.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Oh, yay.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Thank God.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Security conscious.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
I made the right choice.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
And then second thing you did, even before the Zoom,
you went and put the keys back, the spare keys.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
No, of course I didn't.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Are they still in there?

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Well, they're there now.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Oh, you have replaced them.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Oh, I know we replaced. You have to replace the
lock as well.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Oh, you got a whole new lock?

Speaker 3 (36:41):
You have to replace the lock as well.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Why?

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Because the other one just, it was so old, he
couldn't open it. Really? And he saw me coming from
a mile away. But to be fair, they told me
how much it was before he got there and that
didn't change. He didn't like add something.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
No, so he obviously knew he was always going to
tell you he was going to change the lock.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
Oh, okay. Did he?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
I wasn't listening.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
I was in a huff.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
I was in a tiz.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Oh, you're in a tiz. I was in a tiz.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I get it. And also, do you know what? It's
like some opportunities come along very rarely. And for him,
this was it. This was it. Again, it is. He's
like he would have called his wife.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Again, it is. Honey, honey, we're going to Fiji this year.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Darling, I've finally, I've stumbled across the truffle in the forest.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Again.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
A gay with a tis.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Yeah, a gay in a tis.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
A gay with a tis in a tis.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Completely.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Anyhoo, so.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
How adorable.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Can I borrow some money?

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Oh, speaking of dink.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Sasha's handed us something.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
So you have touched a noive. Oh, boy.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
The dink topic that we covered a couple of weeks ago,
it really is, it's really on people's minds. Not as
in because of us, in their life.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
This is from Ollie.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Corcoran. Gay name.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
That's a great name. Ollie Corcoran. You know what that is?
Neighbours Rip. That would have been a character name in Neighbours.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
A mysterious, and he would have been mysterious from another city.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I think so, yes.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
No one knew why he was there. Sorry, did you
just yawn?

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Did you just yawn? Wow. Sorry.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
I'm telling a compelling story about a locksmith.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
And I'm analysing what would have been good character names
from an Australian series that got cancelled not once but twice.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Sorry, this is compelling content.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
This is really, people are on the edge of this.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
I couldn't help it. What?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
We know you couldn't help it.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah, that's literally the meaning of a yawn.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
That's the worst. That's the worst.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Sorry, I couldn't help my disdain for this episode.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
I couldn't hide my lack of interest. There's no oxygen
in here. So, Olly Corcoran. Nate, this one's for you.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
Hello, Olly.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Firstly, the dink chat was up there with the best
bucks so far. Secondly, fly that dink flag loudly and proudly.
I couldn't agree with you more. Let them all check
their presumably straight privilege instead and leave something for the
rest of us to enjoy in our childless peace. Yeah. Woo! Hooray!

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Woo! That's how you do it. I think it's beautiful.
That's how you do it, Ollie. That new mysterious character
from Neighbours. Well, welcome to Ramsey Street. I love it.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
He's coming in dropping bombs.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Welcome to Aaronsborough.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
He's shaking things up. Wow. Okay.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Check your privilege, Buckhead.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Sar. Sar Pears. To add to the dink chat, I
get it from people in their late 40s and early
50s that have young kids. Oh, yeah. Me and my
husband have a 22 and 24-year-old. We're the same age
and tell us it's not fair. And I'm like, we
have no money because we had kids young, but we
can now live it up, lol, and laugh at them

(39:55):
having to worry about young kids at our age. Is
there an acronym for that? That's very good.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
A dink, but kids in the past.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Doubling of no kids. Early kids.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Early kids. Like had them young. We'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Had them young.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
I'll get back to you.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Hey. Had them young.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Had them. Hey. Hey, Dink.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Hey, Dink.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
Had them young. Double income, no kids.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Empty nesters.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Had them young.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Hey. Hey, N. Are you yawning again?

Speaker 3 (40:27):
I think the buckets are yawning now.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Acronym an acronym game everybody loves to.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Play if you weren't broad now you've got homework i
didn't get wordle yesterday for the first time ever.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Oh my goodness do you do it every day i do.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
I know.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
It's embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
It really is. It really, really is. More embarrassing than
my guesses of the words.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
What do you start with, the same word?

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Actually, he's going to be mortified.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Is it five words?

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Five letters? Five letters. I change my starter word every day.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Oh, do you?

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Because it's more fun. Because if you're sticking to the
same word, when you eventually correctly guess it, that's just maths.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I thought the whole point was just because once you
get a winning bet.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
No, I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
You never want to win.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
I want to randomly choose a word one day that
is the word. That's amazing stuff. That's what life's made of. Anyway,
yesterday's word was beige. Did not get it.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Todd. Are you yawning? How did you not get beige?
That's literally your favourite colour. Literally your favourite colour.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
What's your favourite colour?

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Beige.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Why do you lie?

Speaker 2 (41:47):
Everyone. Beige is having a moment. Todd.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Try and spell beige. It's hard.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
B-I-G-E. Damn. Todd. I too got the dink related eye roll,
but they expanded on it and called me a dink wad.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
Oh, hello. That sounds sexual.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
W-A-D.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Oh, I know it.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Double income, no kids, with a dog.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
With a dog.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
I don't think it was necessary. Todd.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Todd, you're right.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
It wasn't necessary, but kind of delicious.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
It's kind of good, though. I mean, it's almost, dinkwad
is almost, it's almost a defence because the amount of
money we spend on our girl, it's up there. So
we're dinkwads.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Okay. And also, I do think for Todd, it's better
to be a dinkwad than a dinkwack.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
With a. With a.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Oh, my darling.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (42:40):
You do it. Oh, wake up the mental elves. Wake up.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
I'm thinking about beige.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Wake up. Don't be. Wake up.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
I'm thinking about beige.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
As a word.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Dinkwad is.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yeah. Oh, with a cat.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah, with a cat. Meow.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Meow.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 3 (42:58):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
I just think dinkwad sounds better than dinkwack.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Dinkwack.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Dinkwack. Dinkwack. That's– Sash will be a dinkwack.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Dink what?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
She loves a– She loves pussy.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
What's a dinkwack, dinkwad, when the income you're on is
from your partner that's passed away that was rich? What
is that called? Is that still double income?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
They've been talking about that a lot. Isn't that called
a discretionary trust?

Speaker 3 (43:34):
Well, there you go. Sash, that's you. Think of an
acronym for that.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Merry Widow.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
That walk took a long time to get there.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
It really did and you did it so well.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
That went for so long.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Merry Widow. And why not?

Speaker 3 (43:50):
Why not? You know, you've got.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
To find your happiness.

Speaker 3 (43:53):
About dinks?

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Well, someone said, James, and I don't understand why, but James,
by all means, feel free to blurt out whatever you
wish on this forum. I live in the Blue Mountains
and my water tastes of fish and algae.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Nobody spoke about Australian water and taps. Oh, James, he
goes back. You know what, James? You're welcome to post
that on our DMs.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I was just in Adelaide where people say the water
tastes funny.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
That's literally what I said. That's where the chat came from.
In a previous episode.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Oh, yes. Okay, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
Every year at the Adelaide Friends.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yes, the water.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
I buy bottled water.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I don't think the water tastes odd anymore.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
Okay. It does.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Does it in Adelaide?

Speaker 3 (44:33):
It's very chlorine-y. Very chlorine-y. Is it?

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah. Anyway, I couldn't tell, but maybe because it was
the brief, it was my brief window between when I
was sick and when I was sick.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
I reckon you were still sick, just throwing that out there.
I think I was.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
And also we had a really good time.

Speaker 3 (44:50):
In Adelaide and it was. You pushed through, but then
you paid for it.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, then I paid the price. Anyway, I paid the price.
The most amazing thing happened in Adelaide. And when I
say amazing, it's small. But, you know, we know the
buck up is a tapestry made of tiny stitches.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
And yawns.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
And yawns. Because who doesn't get tired when they're lying
on a tapestry pillow?

Speaker 3 (45:15):
One of the many pillows at your house.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
One of the many. And that she obviously brings in here.
I can't believe she was tired.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yawning. I don't think she was tired. I think she
was bored.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Yeah, I think she was. I was tired.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Well, you know what?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
I had a good day.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Well, we've all had a big day.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Hey, but cutting it, this is the, we've never cut
it this close, right?

Speaker 2 (45:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
It's Monday night. This is like tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
This is going to be so fresh.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
It's 6pm Monday, folks.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Oh my goodness. Okay. So this is the weirdest thing.
I was, look at these pants I'm wearing, right?

Speaker 3 (45:51):
And hello to a bunch of Adelaide Buckheads, by the way.
Met a few at the Adelaide French.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
And hello, darling Poe, who lives in Adelaide. We do.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
We love Poe.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And we had a lovely time. Anyway.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
What are you showing me, sorry?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I'm showing you these wide-legged Adidas pants that I got
when I was with Sash and we had our girls' weekend, right?
And I basically lived in them since I got them.
And everyone's always like, oh, my God, I love your Adidas.
Where did you get it?

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Right?

Speaker 2 (46:20):
They look great.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Satiny or silk.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, they are satiny.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
Anyway, like even my daughter's girlfriends, they're just great pants.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
It's hard to get away with track pants.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
And yet here they are.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
And in Melbourne and Sydney, everyone is wearing track pants.
Like when I was in Sydney, my girlfriend Soph, who's
very stylish, flew in from Sydney. She was wearing track pants.
My girlfriend Georgie was there wearing track pants that had
a sequins and patterns on them.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Very J-Lo.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
They were.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Is that Juicy on her butt?

Speaker 2 (46:52):
She got them from a vintage store and they were
very cool. They were old sass and barred.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Did you ever wear tracky pants with the words across
the butt?

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Juicy couture.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
I was desperate.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
We got a pair when I was in LA, remember?
That's right.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
You wore them?

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Yeah, but the only colour they had left was not
a me sort of colour. Okay. But what happened to them, Sash?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Lots of words on pants for a while back, about
15 years ago.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
Everyone liked something in blazers.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Everyone had words on things.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
And Ed Hardy. Remember Ed Hardy? Of course. Okay, let's
make a little projection.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
Ed Hardy caps were so expensive.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
How long till Ed Hardy comes back?

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Comes back.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Everything is, the Von Dutch is making its way back.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
I need to say something very dumb. Is it still around?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
They always bring it back. Like once a brand.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
You can go and find Ed Hardy if you want.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Yeah, it'd be online for sure. And it was, for
people who don't know, it looked like it had like
tattoo art on it.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
All the skulls.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
The name Ed Hardy.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Roses on skull eyes.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Roses, skulls.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Snakes.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
It was very like.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Motorcycle chic.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
LA tattoo parlor chic.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Is he Australian?

Speaker 2 (48:01):
American.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
I don't know. I never knew.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Gotta be American.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Just sounds Aussie.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah, it does. Yeah, it does.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Oh, I know, his dad.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
I don't know who that was, but.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
I reckon his dad's Von Dutch.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
I'm going to yawn.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Anyway, so I'm wearing my tracksuit pants and we're all out.
And then my girlfriend, Soph, who's very observant, she's a writer.
She says people in Adelaide don't wear tracksuit pants. She'd
gone out shopping and I was, I think I'd had
a nap after dinner out the night before. On brand.
In the hotel. Stunning. And also still a bit feeble,

(48:38):
a bit feeble. Anyway, she comes back and she goes,
something weird, people in Adelaide don't wear tracksuit pants. I said, what? Like, obviously,
you know, the ill at ease on the street who
are trying to, ah, zang, zang, zang. Of course, they're
all wearing tracksuits.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
It started so nice, ill at ease, and then we
did a real swing around.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yeah, just to describe it for people who don't understand
the euphemism. And I went, what do you mean? She said,
I was wearing, she was wearing her black and white
Adidas pants. Tracksuit pant and I think like a lace
bodysuit or whatever. And she said people were staring at
me and I realised they were looking at me because
I was wearing tracksuit pants. I went, that's nuts. But
I'm like, okay, that's what she reckons happened. I'm not

(49:19):
arguing with her. I'm just like, that sounds so strange.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
You just didn't believe her because you don't believe women.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
I believe all women. I believe all women, no matter
what they say. No matter how ludicrous what they may say.
Moving on.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
I don't know why I started that. Move on, please.
Sometimes I've got to close a thing I open and
it's on me.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
It's on me. No, no, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
I open the hornet's nest and then I'm annoyed I
get started.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Welcome to the buck up.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Do you think there's hornet honey?

Speaker 3 (49:47):
Don't ask me questions that you know I don't know
the answer to.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Anyway, so that night... Or maybe it was the next night.
We're all going out to dinner again. And I'm, I think, oh,
I'm going to wear these brown tracksuit pants, the satin
tracksuit pants. And I've got like a, I think a
brown lace top that I just wear it with and

(50:10):
got a jacket because I don't understand weather. And we
go out and we meet friends in a bar, this
really gorgeous French bar. And they've been there for a
while and they're on the Negroni. So it's all, you know.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
It's all happening.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
And then another friend of theirs who I also know,
a friend of mine, a doctor who's very fun, very, very,
very fun guy, Dr.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Michael.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
And.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Like he goes to music festivals. He's, you know, upbeat guy.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
You're the one making him sound very mysterious here. You're like.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Oh, am I?

Speaker 3 (50:43):
A doctor, but very fun.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Dr. Michael. Oh, well, no.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
He sounds like a drug dealer. It's a drug dealer. No, no.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
When you say.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
It's a drug dealer. Just say it.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
When you say a doctor, people think someone quite conservative.

Speaker 3 (50:55):
Like the guy in my phone saved as Rusky the Russian.
I can think of a reason why I have someone
called Rusky the Russian.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Because he's Russian.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Yeah, that's it. That's why I have his number.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Anyway. But what I'm saying is he's just a fun,
upbeat sort of guy. He's a streetwear guy.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Because he's a drug dealer. He's high.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
He's just come from a conference where he was teaching,
he said, old doctors and young doctors how to use.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
AI.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
No. You know when you scan yourself with the jelly?

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Ultrasound?

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Yeah, ultrasound.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Scan yourself?

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Oh, no, no.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Oh, they do it.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
I was, sorry, demonstrating on myself and I got confused.
I'm not a doctor. No. Anyway, so he'd just come
from that, heard that we were all in town, comes
bustling over, so fun or whatever. We're outside the restaurant.
He looks at me and he says, you're wearing tracksuit pants.

(51:54):
I'm like, yes, I am.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Dr. Michael, we thought you were fun.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
But Dr. Michael– And I'm outside with Soph and Soph looks,
we both look at each other and I'm like, oh,
my goodness. Her observation was complete. No one wears tracksuit
pants out. I said, in Sydney and Melbourne, everybody wears
tracksuit pants out. He goes, well, not in Adelaide. And then,

(52:18):
of course, he has to spring to the defence of
Adelaide like people in Adelaide often do. Even though Adelaide
needs no defence because Adelaide's magnificent.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
I always defend Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
But how's that? When you go to Adelaide for fringe.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
But I don't wear it.

Speaker 1 (52:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
No, I want your eyes down.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
It's too hot when I'm there. And you will see
there is not, it is not a thing. But everyone
here is always wearing active wear and have thanked Praise be,
have gone from wearing tight up your clacker.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Oh, so many of that.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Into baggy tracksuit pants, which is much more pleasant.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
There was a couple of years where you could not
tell two women in the areas that I lived in
and ate in on a Saturday morning. Every woman, you
could not tell one from the other because they were
all wearing very, very, very, very, very tight pants.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Very tight.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Very large jumper with a cap on.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Yeah, and often flesh-coloured tights, which was really a very
strange optical illusion.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
That was going on for a while.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Anyway, they've been swapped generally for tracksuit pants and there's
all sorts. Not in Adelaide. When she said that to
me and I thought, eh, whatever.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
This is a positive, right? Yeah. Okay, we love you Adelaide.
It's an amazing thing.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
But to have someone make that observation. She made that
observation walking through Adelaide. Uh-huh.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
You know, Alice would have seen.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
She brought it back to me like a little kernel
of truth. I was disrespectful of it.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
No way.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
And then the next day an independent arbiter who lives
in Adelaide. A doctor. Who didn't have a doctor. A doctor.
A fund doctor.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Before she handed over $ 350. $ 350. And off he went
into the night sky.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
He's a proper doctor.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
He's a proper doctor.

Speaker 2 (54:00):
I won't have you impugning his great character.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Do you know what else Adelaide don't do?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
What?

Speaker 3 (54:04):
They do not jaywalk ever.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Right.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
They all wait for.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
The green man.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
Till the light changes. And you sit there at Fringe
and you're trying.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
Oh, Sash pursed her lips and she begs to doffer.

Speaker 3 (54:14):
You try to go out.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
She begs to doffer. They all wait. I just don't
believe it.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
No, they don't.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Well, you've woken her up, though.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
They don't.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Her scepticism kept her awake.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
I've even spoken about this on stage in Adelaide.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
They don't. They don't.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
City of churches.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
City of churches and nice pants. Churches and pants.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
A lot of R.M. Williams.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
I have been to Adelaide. It's odd. I have been probably,
besides COVID, 15 years in a row for The Fringe.
I love it. Even when I don't have a new show,
I still go and do just a few nights of
just whatever because it's just the best. I say it
all the time. If you live in Australia and you
do not go to Adelaide while The Fringe is on,
you're silly. It is pretty awesome.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Yeah. It's a great, great, great weekend. It's all in
parks and it's just, it's magnificent.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Come see me.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Please.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Please. I'm going to pay for the bloody locksmith.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
It's a text from mum.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Look, she's back. Gail, mother-in-law.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Oh, what?

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
However, I will say it, but it's the text from
mum itself's not really that funny.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Right.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
It's just what this entailed and what it became is
such a mum thing that would happen to no one
else ever except a mother.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
All right. Can I also say?

Speaker 3 (55:32):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
The fact that Gail is now making her second appearance
on the buck up in a text from mum, I
once upon a time would have thought unimaginable. Yeah. Unimaginable.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
These do technically get sent to Cody, their screen captain
sent my way. So love you, G, if you're listening.
Divorce lawyer. Love it.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Yeah, that's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Stay on my side, please. Formidable.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
As my mother, I say mine like a steel trap.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
And his sister is also a divorce lawyer. So if
anything goes haywire with us, I will be on the streets.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
Hopefully, though, he'll have employed some parental alienation or sibling alienation,
forcing one of them to take sides against him with you.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Oh, what a show. They wouldn't. And my own family
would choose his side.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Okay, fair enough. I would too. Love the dabbler.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
So just picture this happening to a horse and mother.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
I just walked into Annie's Parisian, and crazy lady there,
as soon as I walked in, she saw me and said,
can you look after the shop? I need to go
to the toilet. So I did, and she gives me
the phone to answer.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
It's a text from a... Is that... What sort of
shop is Annie's Parisian?

Speaker 3 (56:47):
I don't know, up there on the coast.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
I think it's a knick-knack shop.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
White dresses.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Yes, I get that vibe.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
White things, beige things.

Speaker 2 (56:54):
Yeah, big sun... What do you call them? Beach bags.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
All of that. So this woman goes to the toilet
for a while and Gail just worked at the shop.
Worked at the shop.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Oh, I love it. You know what? She probably made
more sales in that time.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Answered the phone.

Speaker 2 (57:11):
No one says no to Gail.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Of course she answered the phone.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
Of course she did.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Answered the phone, got a few sales in. She's coming
for your place next, Sash. She's coming on down.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
She ain't no yawner. I am bucked. Buck me hard
and buck me long. Buck me according to the words
of the song.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
No more PM records. You're going blue.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
Am I? No, as a working boy.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
You're a working boy.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
I've been so sick. I thought that maybe I was.
That maybe I was. Listen to that. Help me.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
That sex worker voice. Help me. The sex line worker voice.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Hello, how can I help you?

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Don't get any cup of water out of me.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
