Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Walk past you. 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.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
You a pair of Yeezys.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
And that, my friends, is why you always, always need
a buck up. She's up.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Smashed the screen. Someone's feeling better. Kate Lambrook. You know
why you're feeling better? I know why.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
The energy given to you days ago by the Buckheads
at the second live show filled your cup.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
To the brim. Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
You know what it was, and we have laughed about
this on this podcast before, whatever your name is.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Steve.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Hello, Steve. It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
I was Matthew for ages in my mum's stomach.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Matthew.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Long time I was Matthew.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Oh, I'm so glad you weren't Matthew. Not that there's
anything wrong with Matthew, but I just have to totally
rethink you.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I'm not a Matthew.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I don't have the energy for it.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Did you have another name?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh, you could be a Maddie.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Mums love telling you when there's another name. You know
when mums tell you that? You were almost.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
My mother would not have probably any recollection of even
being pregnant with me. But if I asked her anything
about the pregnancy of my brother.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Hello, John Paul, who listens every.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Week when he's driving to Brisbane from the Gold Coast
with Stacey, my sister-in-law.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Not a fun drive if there's traffic on the Brucey,
let me tell you that much.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
But with the buck up, it's not the Brucey pool,
it's the Pacific.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
It's the same shit.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Isn't it all Bruce? They're not going to the Sunshine Coast.
I get so confused.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
They're going from the Gold Coast. You know what Cody
yells at me at? And we've been together for 12 years.
I still don't comprehend how far away all his family
are from each other. Some are on the Gold Coast.
Some are in Noosa. Some are in Brisbane. And I'm like,
are they going to see each other? He's like, well,
they're going to drive two and a half hours.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
All right.

Speaker 5 (02:27):
But it is like when you're like Americans coming to Australia.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
They're like, we're going to duck down to Tasmania.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
And then I do look at the map and go, oh, yeah,
it's like asking us if we're going to catch up
with people in Bendigo because they're going to Bendigo, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Who are you?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Who?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Steve.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Matthew.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Who are?

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Matthew.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Nate Valvo. The greatest comedian in the land.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Only eclipsed by. Who? The talent of the little elf
in the corner.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Comic? What? Comedian?

Speaker 3 (02:59):
All right.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
Your talents are only eclipsed by hers.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
What's her name? Matthew. Matthew.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Sasha French, who is the greatest producer in the land.
I've over-egged your pudding slightly. I mean, you're not a
bad comedian.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
But I can't say that she's the finest in the
land and you're the finest in the land.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
People will just think I'm slattery with my compliments. It's
too much.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
You're being too slutty with your compliments.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I am.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
That's why you've got to be like me. I give
out one a decade and it keeps people on their toes.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
I hate people who don't pay compliments. My eyes are
going to head in the direction now of someone in
this room who doesn't pay compliments.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I give compliments.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, no. I was going to say, I keep complimenting.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Someone is an under-complimenter.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
She's looking to the left of me.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
And the right of me.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
You have to earn them.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
See, no, I don't like it. And you know what
I said to her once? You have to earn them.
We had a conversation about it once because I'm a Leo. Oh, yeah. Right? Well,
I'm a complimenter. And, you know, sometimes, for instance, in
your case.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Even if it seems like there's nothing on heaven or
earth to compliment you about, I will find something.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
And I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
I really do. Because I'm a complimenter.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
You work hard.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Whereas she, in the face of this, Catherine Elizabeth Wilhelmina
Booth in Langbrook.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Good name.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Really is so stinting and. I'm characteristically stingy with compliments.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
She said to you, you have to earn them. And
even then means it's even worse. That means you're still
not getting them. You haven't even earned them.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
I haven't earned them. That's what I mean. So I
said to her once, don't give her the eye. Oh,
I gave her an eye.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
I'm moving on to a bucket.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
So I said to her, you need to compliment more.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
And she works on people's shows all the time.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
She works with the T word, talent. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
And talent need.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
A bit of a buck sometimes.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, just a, yeah, a bit of.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
A bit of a, you're doing well.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
She doesn't give that, right? Oh. And I said to her.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
She, she goes, you know, it's not my thong.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Complimenting when I said to her. And I said, well,
make it your thing. Okay.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
And to the Buckeyes listening.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
She never did.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
With regular important jobs, unlike podcasting.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I wonder if they get compliments from bosses. How often
does it happen? Do they? You know, when does a
teacher get sat down and says, you're good at this,
well done, you did this right today? Or when does
the retail worker get told they're good?

Speaker 5 (05:29):
I think you are normally told by your colleagues.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
You reckon? Co-workers?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I reckon, no. Don't you think people are getting compliments? Oh,
they need to work with me.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I'm telling you now, the people I know... aren't sitting
down with their coworkers going, you're doing really well today.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, no.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
You're awesome at your job.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
This is a general thing.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Like you handled that really well. Oh, I'm glad you
dealt with that customer.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
I couldn't have done it. They're compliments. But from her,
it's honestly I'm like a parched man in the desert
and I see.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Her and, you know, she's quite a cute looking thing.
So it's like I'm crawling towards this mirage.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I remember for a while everyone was really– into and
invested into their Uber rating because this was like eight,
nine years ago when it became a thing. It was
the first time really we were experiencing reviews of personality,
not work.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
This is, how are you on the way to the airport?

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
How are you on the way home from the club
with your civil arc in the backseat? And then I
remember people being like, I'm on 3.5 and you'd be like,
What is wrong with you?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I remember. What is wrong with you? But also, what
were they rating it? I don't know. Was that in
the days when people talked to the driver?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
I have no idea. No one has ever explained what
the rating is. But if you were below four. My girlfriend,
I'm going to change her name. That's grim.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I'm changing her name. Let's call her Weesa.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Uh-huh. Smooth. Smooth.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Threw up in the back of an Uber after a big.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Party we were at. Zero stars.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Took her a long time to come back from that. Oh, yeah.
But now I don't think people even look at a rating,
do they?

Speaker 4 (07:08):
I haven't looked at mine in a very long time.
But I'm saying back in the day we were refreshing
after a ride. Is it gone up, gone down? We
were very into it because we were all so desperate
to get feedback in real life.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Whereas now?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Who cares? They're all so desperate for the ride.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I have to tell you something.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Uh-oh.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
That is such a vindication. For who?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Please be for me.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Please be for me.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Me. A vindication of the world at large.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Uh-huh.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
I don't know where you stood.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
This could go either way.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
I don't know where you stood on this particular thing.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
But you're so bucked up by this already.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I'm so bucked up.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Like, as my mother says, she's like a cat with
two tails. Which apparently is happy. Pleased with myself. Okay,
I'm opening my wallet.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Oh, yes.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Where, by the way, I wrote one of those secret numbers.
You know the CIA secret numbers?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
You know there's some.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
Chick online who's always telling, giving numbers that are secret codes?

Speaker 4 (08:15):
You know what, Kate? No.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Okay. So I've still got a wallet.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Oh, there's secret numbers you can do. If you've got pain,
you write down. And they're always impossible to remember.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's always like 55889900. This is my money number.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
520808741.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
You put that in your wallet. Are we cooked yet?
You put it in your wallet and money comes to you.
And guess what? What am I going to pull out
and show you? That's been in my wallet for.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
The money numbers.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
The money numbers. Probably for a month. Can you unwrap that,
Nate Valvo, and tell me what you see within?

Speaker 4 (08:51):
It's a piece of paper.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
It is a piece of paper.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
I'm already excited because I've just seen the logo.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
It is a bank logo.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
There is an account number.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Should I say the number?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
My name. No, don't say the account number.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well, I can say the number I know that's been added.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
What's that number? $ 6, 000. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
More.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
More. Yeah, but hasn't that been added because you found it?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
$ 6, 800 and something dollars. There's a check.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
$ 6, 896. It's a check, isn't it? That's correct.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
From ASIC via my secret forgotten ING account.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'm sorry, I'm holding a check.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Okay, so.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
I feel like I'm in a museum.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
The reason I have it is I actually don't know
what to do with that check.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's a really good question.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
And that's what Peter said to me. When it arrived,
we were like, oh, my goodness.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
And this bank doesn't have.
Physical places to go to.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
No, no, I don't take it back to them. They've
sent it to me.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Oh, that's their bank?

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, that's them giving me the money back.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
But that one doesn't even have physical banks.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
No. So what would you do with it? I don't know.
But is that not unbelievable? That's so crazy. For people
who may have joined us late in life.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
A cheque. Mice.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Son, my eldest son, Lewis, found on a. ledger of
a website of.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Money Smart.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Forgotten Monies. That's what it's called. Oh, thank you.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Forgotten Monies is not what it's called. ForgottenMoneys.com.gov.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Why couldn't it be?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
It would be so poetic. It's so true.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Poetry is really missing from our lives. Anyway, how's that?
And there was an ING count and up until... Literally,
I opened that envelope, which I did two days ago.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
It seemed like it could be a scam, didn't it?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Oh, huge scam vibes. God, that's a lot of money
to look at on a cheque, on paper.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
That's a good amount of cash.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Isn't that incredible to look at that piece of paper
and it's going to turn into money.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Are you going to spend this on your little mountain adventure?

Speaker 5 (10:51):
No, you know, my girlfriend Alice said, you need to
put that in another account.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
No, spend it.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
No, no, where my husband doesn't see things because, you know,
he does all the things. He knows everything. I've got
no secrets. What? Like every time I go to the
male brothel, he knows.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
You tap and go, so you tap and go.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I get it. He sees it. Yes.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
And I've got no privacy.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yep. How else am I going to celebrate down tools
of a thirsty when I get my paycheck?

Speaker 4 (11:17):
You know what? I'll say something here.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Please do.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Don't take marriage advice from me because you're way more
like years ahead of me.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
I feel like it's very, very healthy that there is a,
chunk of money that I have no idea what Cody
does with and he doesn't know what I do with some. Yes.
Just do it. You need that freedom. You both work. No, no.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
You don't have to answer to them. No, no. You
know what it is. The reason that this has happened.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
You didn't yell at me for being a dink then.
I'm shocked.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
No, I did think it. I went a chunk of money.
Other dinks. He's got his chunk and I've got my chunk.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Chunks aren't very big.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
They're dink chunks. They're dink chunks. A lot of people
don't have chunks. A lot of people don't even have
a sliver.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Well, the chunks are very big, but it's still just,
I don't need to know.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I know you don't need to know.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
You know.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
And also, you know what? What?

Speaker 5 (12:04):
As a mutual friend of ours said a little while ago,
it's actually, there's nothing wrong with being rich.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Who said that?

Speaker 3 (12:13):
We have to remind Hughes. I will. Oh, God.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
I wish.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I was rich. But you have to remind yourself of
that because for some reason people are like, they're like
seen as a... What's a zero-sum game?

Speaker 5 (12:33):
That's an expression I don't understand, but I'm desperate to
use it.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, just use it.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
But like a race to the bottom, like.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Everyone's keen to make out they're so povo. Just say
zero-sum game. It sounds good. I'm going to say zero-sum game.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Anyway, but yeah, there's nothing wrong with being rich. I'm
happy for you, dink rich.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
We're not rich. I want to be rich.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
See, don't say that. Okay, sorry. Zero-sum game. We are.
We are.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
The richest amongst the richest people in the world in Australia,
even the povo ones of us.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Hey, and let's celebrate this.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Hang on, we're clapping in. Even if we don't feel
like it, do you know what? Start to feel like it.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
This is when I realised how good Australia is just
last week, two weeks ago. Delivery drivers are getting the
minimum wage. That is very good.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, it's amazing. Also, you turn on a tap and
fresh air. Potable water comes out.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
I'm just talking about deliveries because of my Amazon delivery.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Of course.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Now I don't feel guilty.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
You're a dink. But you turn on the water and
you can drink what comes out of the tap. Did
you notice I said potable water?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
And let me say this.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
I once said potable.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Zero sum game. Yeah. Some water in this country is
very potable. Tastes very different on the taps. Don't love
Adelaide's water.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
No, but still.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
Can't lie.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
But there's nothing wrong with it.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
There's nothing wrong with it, but for the whole Adelaide
fringe every year, I'm drinking chlorine from a cup. Adelaide
know this.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
They know this. All right, bring us down. Sorry. I'm
trying to lift us up, much like our listeners did.
Our buckwits, our buckknuckles, our buckstickles. Oh, no, the word
we never used. The new one.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
The new word we've never used.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Oh, my goodness. It was our gang of seven.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
They had hats made.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
They had hats made. The buckets. Yeah, the buckets. Have
we never said the buckets? And they gave me and Sash.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, not me.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
They gave me and Sash bucket hats. Yeah. Not bucket hats.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Noted.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Buckets. Buckets. Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
What? Zero sum game.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Zero. What is? Did you Google it, Sash? Yes.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Google what?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Zero sum game.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Oh. A situation in game theory and economics where one
person's gain equals another person's loss. Oh, it's not good.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
It is for the person who wins.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
That's not what you were trying to say. You were
saying it was good for everyone.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Was I?

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Weren't you? Oh, no, you're saying that. You're saying someone
being rich doesn't mean that person has to be poor. Oh, yes.
Whereas I actually could probably.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
No, no, I'm saying everyone doesn't have to make out
like they're poor or believe they're poor.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Oh, okay. That's not zero, so I'm game.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I still don't know what it is, even after that definition.
But I'll tell you what, you read that out beautifully,
Sasha French.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Oh, it's a compliment.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Oh, okay. I can't. She can't.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
You're acting like a rich person because you're six and
a half Ks. This is what this vibe is.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I'm as giddy as a girl and I am a girl.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Now, just let's reverse back a week to our live
show because we need to calmly, now that we're seated. Yes. Buckheads, buckets, buckets.
We know that you've listened to the ep. If you haven't,
go and listen. We just need to very quickly recap
the tarot card reading because there were a few moments
where we needed, now that we're out of the, because
the buckets need to know we're on stage under the light.

(15:48):
It's so much fun, but it's so grueling.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yes, of course. And our adrenaline's pumping. Everyone's amped. Everyone's amped.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
So when I got home and had a bit of
a think in bed, I was like, let's recap the
tarot card.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Okay. What aspect of it?

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Firstly, she pulls out a couple, the prince and the
princess card.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
They flew out of my hand.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
They flew out of your hand straight away.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
She called them leaping cards.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
The leaping cards were you and your husband. Yeah. One
thing she said that really made me laugh. You said
to her about me... Some people are old souls.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Oh, you're a young soul.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I'm a young soul. Yeah. And then she confirmed your
theory and said it's the first time I've been here.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Oh, did she?

Speaker 4 (16:29):
And she said I'm fresh to the world.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, you're fresh. Very fresh. Which is funny.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
Yeah. But this is a really fun chat to have.
So then I said to Cody.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Do you think it's my first time here? Like going
through earth. Because there's people that think you come back
over and over and over again.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Because I was saying people say about newborn baby, oh,
he's an old soul.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
You know how on this pod we've talked about star signs,
we've talked about all the hoo-ha, about the enneagram numbers,
about what number you are, personality.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Don't start on that.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Judging people now on where you think if they're new.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Oh, new or old.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Or they've gone through it before.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
It is so much fun.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
It has blown Cody and I's mind because I reckon
he's on his.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
What did he say?

Speaker 4 (17:10):
He's on his like 50th.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
What did he say about you? Oh, absolutely. Did he
say that you were.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Yeah, he was like, oh, yes.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
You were fresh as a baby.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
Yeah, not that in those creepy words, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Why does it have to be creepy? You're married. You're married.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Dang.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's not creepy. Well, what was it followed by?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah, he agreed that like he was bullying me and
teasing me that it's my first time.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, first time.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
And then I kind of clocked it. It's not his
first time. That's why he's quite worldly.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
That's right. Knows a lot.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yes. Nothing shakes him. Yes. He's kind of seen it
all before.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Do you know what this is?

Speaker 4 (17:44):
What?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
This is a new self-help book.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
This is what I wanted. Completely. I couldn't wait to
bring this up with you.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
You are spot on.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
So then, of course, because we love doing this, we
started going through.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Hang on.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, go.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Old soul, new soul. Oh, hello. I can see people
buying it at the airport.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
Not arsehole.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
In brackets. Oh, that's awesome.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
But we started going through family members and friends.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
And did you see year to year, as the French
would say, on everyone?

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Most of the time we were saying they're going through
it for the first time.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
All right, what am I?

Speaker 4 (18:21):
You've been here plenty of times.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Oh, yes, so many times. What about Sasha French?

Speaker 4 (18:25):
She's been here plenty of times.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
You know what, she's never left. She's been here. Oh, no,
you're just here in a different.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
She's done more rounds than you.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Oh, definitely. Yeah, no.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
She's got the absolute, you've got the absolute run of
the joint.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
What? Which you only get if you know your way around.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
So, Buckheads, ask yourself this. Do you reckon it's your
first time going round? Do you think you've been here before?
Has your partner been here before? It makes you actually
a bit more, I swear to my, forgiving if you
kind of clock that someone's doing this for the first time.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Are you stoned?

Speaker 4 (18:58):
No.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Were you stoned when you.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
Had this conversation with Cody? We had sleeping tablets.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, he had broken into the big harbour. He got
the good stuff.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
It was a good chat.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
When are you bringing me the.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
You can just get them from literally anywhere.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
No, no, not the ones.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
Oh, the ones he gets from Europe.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, those ones.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
The over-the-counter ones.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Don't forget. Whatever. I don't know what it was he
gave me. He gave them to me.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
Oh, those ones.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh, yeah. Did you remind him that I need some?

Speaker 4 (19:24):
He got them from Germany.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Okay. I don't care where he got them from. I
want them.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
You know, someone that's been through the earth a lot,
many times.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
And someone who's asking for a favour. Considering this is.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Your tenth time here, can you figure out how to
get your own melatonin gummies?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm saying to you, I want more. Get them for me.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I don't think he knows what they were either.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Whatever. Can you just tell him I love you? love them?

Speaker 4 (19:50):
They're gone. They're gone.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Whatever. He can get some more.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Let's talk about that amazing period of life where we
had this pack of, we don't even know what they were.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Where did they come from? It's sketchy. You know I
said a music festival.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
But we were handing them out to everyone we knew saying,
you want the best sleep ever? And now they're all gone.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Just heavenly. They're all gone. Really heavenly, whatever it was.
I'd like to invest in that company.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Once I was at a music festival and there was,
this often happens, particularly an outdoor festival, and a baggie
was found.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Uh-oh.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Not by us, but by some crazed friends of ours
who started calling it mystery bag. And going up to
people and people were partaking of the mystery bag.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Dabbing in the mystery bag.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
And someone ended up having to go to hospital from
the mystery bag.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
And not only that, it was like a teenager. Oh,
my God. Like a grown-up teenager, but it was, yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
First time round.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, first time round.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
That's how you learn, I guess.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah, dabble in a mystery bag and off you pop
to the hospital.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Anyway, where were we?

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Classic lessons of a first time round.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Did you give me my check back? Yes, you psycho.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
You think I've pocketed it?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Do you like?

Speaker 5 (21:09):
No, I just don't want to lose it because it's paper.
Paper's so fragile. What happened in this country when money
was made of paper? People must have burnt it accidentally.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
You don't want that. That's bad.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
You want paper that doesn't burn. You've got some notes
in there I clocked.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
I've got notes. You know, I've always got cash.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
You've got some notes there for your mystery bag.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
I've always got cash. Checks though. Oh, do you want
to hear the lucky number for notepad? Oh, did you
Google the CIA numbers, Sash? It was the one that
you read out. You read it out. Oh, was it?

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Well, all I can say is I think it's worked
writing that number down and putting it in my wallet.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Now, it's very hard now because people don't have a wallet.
They just carry their phone around.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
But it's also like. people doing with their kids when
they're young? Because a visceral memory is being at the
Commonwealth Bank branch on Main Street, Greensboro with Lynn and
there's the pen on the, on the ballpoint pen on
the court and she's writing stuff and there's checks and
she's filling out this bill and that bill and you're

(22:06):
bored and you're yelling at mom and What do people
do with their kids now when you're not down at
the bank with a cheque?

Speaker 3 (22:12):
And they don't even have, do they still have? I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I can't tell you the last.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
No.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I was in the branch that time.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
They still do Dolomites. Oh, yeah. At school. I think so.
A checking account.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Oh, yeah, all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Anyway, whatevs.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
But that's, holding that cheque before just kind of gave
me some sort of lead like therapy flashback to being
a kid.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
I had a cheque book.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
I think I did too.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
As a, I used to write, and you know what
amazes me? Oh, yeah, you could, couldn't you?

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
You know what amazes me? Still in America, you know
in some ways America is very behind us. For instance,
with hairstyles.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Okay. Very dated sort of.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Right. Peroxide hair on the boys still.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Just a heavy look. Just a heavy look on the women, whatever.
Just it surprises you, right?

Speaker 5 (22:59):
But one of the ways in which they're also behind,
and it might not be a bad thing, is you
will be in like a supermarket and someone will be.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Paying for their groceries with a cheque. They pull out,
they write out a cheque still in 2026. Do you
know what I miss?

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Oh, God, how satisfying when they do that check machine
and go, you know that thing on the check to
make it.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
That was a credit card. Was it a credit card?

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah, that was a credit card. You know when they
had to do that and they had to sign the slip?

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Oh, yeah, when you had a physical one.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
That was very satisfying listening to that sound when your
parents would pay for something on.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
The credit card. Whereas now you've got to look at
everything to see if someone's put a scanner in the
top of the thing.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
You know what? We really do sound stoned right now.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Listen to this chart. But it is amazing.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Is this your first time here, man?

Speaker 3 (23:52):
The money has come. What up, chicks? The money has come.
I put those numbers on a piece of paper. Oh,
by the way, you've also got to write it in
green ink. Apparently. I didn't have green ink. I used Sharpie.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
So cosmic.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
That was green.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
I didn't tell you why I don't control my own money.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Okay. Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Because of the admin.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah, I get it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
But I've let that just go too far so that
if I ever.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Want to do anything secretive, I can't.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Whereas you're so secretive.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
I'm actually not at all.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, you are.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Sneaky.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
Sneaky.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
I'm not sneaky at all, but I like... You know,
this is why people need to be able to do
their own thing. For example, you know how we had
to register our car in dad's name to get the
Toyota discount?

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Oh, right. That's right, because Giuseppe's got the Toyota contacts.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Right, but he's retired now. But yeah, he was at
Toyota for, I think, 55 years or something.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Really?

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Some insane amount of time.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
In the 50-year club. His whole job. His whole life.
He never worked anywhere else.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
I don't think so. Wow. Yeah. So he was there
for a very long time. So he got into the
upper echelons of the good discounts for the new cars.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah, okay. All right. What did they get? What percentage
did you get?

Speaker 4 (25:14):
It was enough for us to go, we're absolutely registering
it in your name.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
But here's the bad part.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Right.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
For the four or five years we've had this car.
Every single speeding.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
Fine, every single thing.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Goes to the car owner.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
And look, we are fast drivers. It is a miracle
that we both have our full license. I'm surprised anyone
has a license.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, you know why you've got a license?

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Why?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
Because Giuseppe's lost his. Because of all your violence going
to him.

Speaker 4 (25:49):
He takes the points. We do the hoo-ha, we nominate
the driver, blah, blah, blah. But the judgment text, the
judgment pic of this red light camera, which wasn't me,
absolutely stoked, by the way.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Oh, how did you work out it wasn't you? Did
you get the photo?

Speaker 4 (26:04):
The good thing about our jobs and lives being so
separate is we don't really go on the same roads.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah, okay. But did you ask for the photo? No.
They give you the photo now, don't they?

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Cody and I look at the street and can very
clearly work out whose that was. But why do you
need to do that like a detective?

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I got like four on.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
The way here last year. I kept getting it in
the same street on the way here.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
But why wouldn't you look at the photo?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
But why would we need to look at the photo?
It tells you exactly where the camera is and we
work it out.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
I just think it's an easy way to identify it.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
But they don't send the photo unless you ask for it.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Oh, I thought they do now.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
You've got to request it. Oh, that's annoying. That's annoying.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Anyway, my point is I think sometimes we should have
just paid for the car because I can't be bothered
with the text.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Oh, and then you've got to go through the palaver. Again. Judging.
My dad. But that's a dad thing.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
It's a dad thing.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
And also what you don't understand is at some point–
men derive a lot of pleasure from being displeased.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
They love it. You're so right. Yeah, that's what happens.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
But also, Giuseppe, aren't you proud of your gay son
for being a lead foot? Come on, makes me a
real man.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
But he'd rather, he obviously is so on board with
you being a homo that he doesn't, like he just
focuses on, Just the horrors of you getting tickets.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
It's like you're not giving me grandkids but you're giving
me these fines once a month and it's enough.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
And my dad used to do it once a year.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
I used to get together with him and he'd go
through my tax and it just became a– it became
like we'd have this like three-day ritual and I'd go
over to their house and it was always when mum
was out, he would always say, can I do it
with your mother here? And please, go to the shops, right?
The only time he ever asserted any authority. And I

(27:51):
would have– like a shoebox full of receipts and a
garbage bag.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
And Dad would get out a magnifying glass. Like it
was so... And, of course, then we would always come to...
parking fines.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Uh-huh. You tried to claim them back on tax? No, no.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
They were just in the general bag. A lot of
them wouldn't have been paid. They would have had. And
so dad, it gave dad the opportunity.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
To be a dad.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yeah, to be. Oh, are you wasting so much money
on these tickets? Please. You must not do it. Right?
He loved it. Actually, he loved it. He loved the
distress it caused him.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
I've never, ever forgotten when I walked you back to
your car once. It was years ago. We were in
the city. And you said, oh, I just made up
a car spot. And I said, you can't just do that.
What are you talking about? Oh, yes. And you just
pulled the car up onto some gutter grass area.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Oh, we parked under a sculpture.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
And then you were fine.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Was I with you then? We parked under a sculpture. Yeah.
You did, not me. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
No.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
It was great.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
And you got away with it.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
I got away with it. Sometimes I think the more
audacious you are, the better. Don't you think? Remember you
had a car with Courier?

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Sign on the side.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
I remember that. Oh, yeah. That's the Kate I met
20 years ago.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Did I still have it when I met you?

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
That was so good.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
But they changed the rules. Now Couriers don't have Courier
written on the side. I'm like, how do parking people know?

Speaker 3 (29:16):
I'd like to know by the way there's.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
A message from a bucket many weeks ago you said
i had milky weak tea colored eyes i kicked.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Off and one of them's got more milk in it
than the other.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
That's because i have a bung eye so thanks for
mentioning that.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
But they're just different colors so did david bowie why
must you hear an insult in everything the first time round?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Like why?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Second time round I'll be better.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Will you?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Thicker skin.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
I wonder if we'll get to hang out.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Better eyes, hopefully. I said I don't remember or I'm
not 100% confident on knowing my husband's eye colour.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
I know his eyes are blue.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Well, they're not.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Oh, are they?

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Yeah, they're green blue.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh, shut up.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
He said that.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Turn him off.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
He said that.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Turn him off. People with green eyes always say that.
They always say that.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
You have better faith in me than my husband because
I got home after the pod and said, Kate doesn't
believe me that I wouldn't remember your eye colour. And
he said, but you wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Did you actually make eye contact with him?

Speaker 4 (30:16):
No, but I had to guess.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
To look at his eyes.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
And I said blue and he said, wrong, blue-green.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Blue-green. People are always doing that with green eyes.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
This is from a bar cat who wants her name changed.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Oh, I love it. That's really good.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Change it to Kerry. I'm on board. This is a
made-up name, Kerry.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
All right. Don't call it Kerry. No, no. Okay, what? But,
you know, Kerry's an Irish witch. Do you know that?
Kerry's the name of an Irish witch. You know who
told me that? Kerry Armstrong, when she was my acting teacher. Actress. Famous,
famous Australian actor. Very fine actor. Done? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
We're so stoned.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Give me a fake name, quick. Irena.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
That is the stupidest fake name I've ever heard. All right.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Claire. No, not Claire. No, not Claire. Sash, have one.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Alison.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Alison.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Okay, done. That's quite good.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
She's quite good at that. Do you know what?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
In her parcel of talents, a lot of the sack
is taken up with the ability to think of names.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
I gave two names. Put that on your resume.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Which, by the way, with my immense, I was given
a lot.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
I was given a lot. But that's not one of
my talents.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
I could tell from that awful name you threw out before.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
No, it's not an awful name.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
It's not an easy fake name. I don't even know
where it came from. One of my past lives. Okay. Proceed.
So our bucket.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Alison. A bucket.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Alison says, maybe don't broadcast my name with this one.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Okay, Alison.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
I've been married for 37 years. I can honestly say
I couldn't tell you the colour of my husband's eyes.
So I'm not the only one.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
However. I don't believe it.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
However, she says. This is disgusting.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
Oh, good.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
However, I can stand in a room of 50 people
and know without doubt that he has farted.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Sash gave me that. Sash gave me that.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Oh, look, and it's really tickled her funny bone, eh?
I said, Sash, really?

Speaker 4 (32:42):
She said, yep, I love it.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Oh, that's– I don't like it. I don't like it
for Alison.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
I knew you'd hate that.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
I just don't like it.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
It's one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard
about long-term marriage. I've heard many tips from people over
the years. That one is by far the most disgusting
thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
But also, can we just for a moment, because you
know I favour the colonic, which I started having again.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
They're back.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
I've only had one. I've gone, no, two.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
I've gone to the new lady who I really like
and she treats me really well.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
A drink first, a date.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
After. She gives me a probiotic drink and a little
cup of tea.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
No, I just meant more you should have one with them.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
It's very intimate.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
Yeah, but while in the process, you're not really feeling
like imbibing.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
You know, you're already taking on enough. Do you know
what I mean? Anyway. But does that mean... He eats
the same thing every meal, Alison's husband.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
Are we going to dissect this?

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Well, no, I just am curious about that.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
This disgusting message from Alison. No wonder why she wanted
her name changed because it's disgusting, filthy pig.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
Oh, Alison, I dreamt more, but she's quite pleased about
it and that's the thing that I find.

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Hey, Alison's happy.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Alison's happy.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
With her husband.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
It gives her a buck. Diet.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
You know, we're not those couples that do Dutch ovens
and stuff.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Who does? No, thank you.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
A lot of people do and I kind of envy them.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
We don't. I envy them. But also those people that
go to the bathroom in front of each other. No,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
That's never happened. No.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
That doesn't add up. No. No.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
No. Well, I was going.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
To give you another dink fact, but you know. Give
us a dink vac. We've got our own. We've got
our own toilet. Oh, you've got separate bathrooms.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
I think Patty Newton once said that was the secret
of her happy life with Burt Newton.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
How can it not be?

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Or Burt Newton's separate bathrooms.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, how can it not be?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Well, we don't have separate bathrooms.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Oh, I have to tell you about my late night
present that I bought but I forgot to bring in.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
What was it? Online.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Online, always. So it's happening more and more.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Oh, Sasha, I've got the best present for you for
your birthday.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Online.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
I have to give it to you early.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Last time I told you it was Swiss candy.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
I'm still... It was really weird. I'm really not.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
It was odd.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
You know that you need to bring enough to share
with the class. Yeah. I'm not on board with not
knowing what this Swiss candy is. What it tasted like.
And you not having brought it.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Yeah, I'm sorry. I messed up. Yeah. It's my first
time here. Oh.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
You know what you need to say?

Speaker 4 (35:23):
You're going to be more forgiving.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
It's my first time Earthside.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
I remember, you know, those wanky things that come up
on quotes. I remember one that came up once and said,
go easy on your parents. It's their first time too.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
Well, you know, I say to my kids quite often,
I don't know, I've never had children before.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
I mean, it's not wrong.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
Actually, it's true.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
Well, that's better, the way they put it.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
What?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
For our next live show, let's get new soul, old
soul T-shirts.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
That's cool.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Oh, I love it.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
So you're buying an old soul.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
New soul, old soul.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Yeah. You're picking an old soul. Yeah. Yeah. New soul.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
I'd prefer to be an old soul. I feel like
you're calmer, less anxiety.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Well, no, but you're fresh. And also one day you'll
earn it.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Oh, thank you, Kate. Spoken like a true oldie.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
On your 100th round. Oh, it's so funny. But yet
I think I have a certain innocence about me.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
What are you talking about? What on earth are you
talking about? I think I have a certain innocence about me.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Oh, Kate, you are many things.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
A certain enthusiasm.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
You are many beautiful, positive things. Innocent, you are not.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Have I not?

Speaker 4 (36:47):
And have never been. Have I not? In any way.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Really, Sash? Do you think I have a certain innocence
about me? Not at all. How terrible. You're open. It's
like a porch toilet. I have to think about myself
and rethink myself.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
This is your empath moment.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
This is my empath moment. This is your empath moment.
I just thought, but I have a certain enthusiasm for life. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
That's not innocent.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Isn't it?

Speaker 4 (37:16):
That's like determination and grit.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
No, no.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
No matter what you know.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
It just means I haven't been ground down by what's
going on around me, least of all you two.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
That's a buck. Late night purchases, very guilty. Then, honestly
I mean this, the next morning I have no memory.

(37:48):
It's almost like I do it in a state.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Me too.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
I have no memory.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
That's how I bought those prawns. Remember that's how I
bought the prawns.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Maybe you are innocent.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, remember that. What were they called? Online Skull Island.
Skull Island.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Skull Island prawns. I've got to order some more.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
I wouldn't even know where to begin to get them.
They were so good.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Skull Island.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
But literally, things arrive and I have no, and I'm
not a big online shopper, as you know, though.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
I've fallen into a terrible habit of.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
All your meds.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Getting a skincare.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Yes. Oh, that's the fun one. That's so addictive.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
I bought some Ivermectin the other day.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
For the skin.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
No, just now that they're beating the drum about the
bird flu.

Speaker 4 (38:27):
Oh, the poor penguins don't.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Can I tell you what? Can you remember what they
did to us?

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Oh, so you want all the penguins gone?

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Can you remember what they did to us?

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Penguins are near you.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
Six years ago. I don't care. And now you can
be falling for the same magic trick again just by
wearing a different cloak. You idiot. You newbie. Your first
time round. Like, how ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (38:53):
What are the odds that they built a vaccine facility
in Melbourne?

Speaker 4 (38:57):
What if they ate penguins so much?

Speaker 3 (38:59):
And now, oh, my God, the birds.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
What are the odds that some scientists were wandering some
remote island in South Australia and.

Speaker 3 (39:07):
Oh, we just stumbled over 10 dead seals from a
drone shot?

Speaker 4 (39:11):
If I'm paying more for chicken in three months' time.

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Okay, exactly.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
I'm joining you.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
They're coming for the eggs.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
They're coming for the eggs.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
They're coming for the chickens. They're coming for people's domestic chickens.
Lock up your chickens, everybody. It's just, we've been through
it before.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
You've got your energy back. Those antibiotics have kicked in.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
So let's just recap. Okay.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
You used Big Pharma to recover and make yourself feel better.
Now you're better. You hate it again. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
No, no. No, I'm not forgetting. You know what I took?
I took, tried and tested medications. Okay.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
I just want the birds to live. I want the
penguins to live. We all want the birds to live.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
What better way to get people on board again, another
convid job, than to invoke cute little animals?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
And you know what will happen?

Speaker 4 (40:03):
I'm speechless.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
If, God forbid, the fairy penguins, as they are rightfully known,
now renamed little penguins, if... Per chance, they have a
really bad reaction to this vaccine that has never been
tested on penguins who have got a very specific physiognomy.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
A tux.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Is that a word? Physiology.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Just say it.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
You know what people say when they start toppling over
the little adorable things?

Speaker 3 (40:32):
People go, oh, no, the hen virus got them. It'll
be the same. It's. Who were peddling the bullshit. And
the same people who went, oh, well, we were wrong
about that. Let it never happen again and want to
move on really quickly. It's happening again. That's all I'm saying.
All I wanted to do was talk about my late

(40:53):
night purchase. I'm sorry, but it really.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
You know what I thought the other day? What did
you think? I was hearing Eastern Rosellas, Eastern Rosellas. Not anymore.
Got to vaccinate those fellas.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
Is that what they said?

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Red and yellow, green and blue. Myocarditis is coming for you.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Did I actually say that?

Speaker 3 (41:14):
That's going to be the new song.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
You just made that up then.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
No, that little guy sang that song.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
Yeah, but you just made up the new lyric. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
Pretty good. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
Actually quite impressive.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
If all the cooker movement was this creative, I'd be
on board months ago.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Sorry, why was I distracted by it?

Speaker 4 (41:30):
My online purchase. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
Okay, you're online. Paint me the picture. You in bed.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
Lying in bed. So every time I get a delivery,
what could it be? Yeah. I never know.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
I never know.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
This one was good.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Quite big. Does Cody online shop?

Speaker 4 (41:45):
He's very nerdy and very specific. It's always things that
there's no risk involved.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
Sports stuff.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
Things, this connection, that connection.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Cycling gloves.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
You know, all of that, you know. Connection.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
For what?

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Just like tech stuff, the laptop and this thing and
that thing.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Yeah, that's like Peter Allen Lewis. Tech deliveries. Peter Allen Lewis.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
I'm rolling the dice.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
I'm getting Swedish candy.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Yeah. Once again with that.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Sorry.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Really, that's.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Does it help that it wasn't good?

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Well, we're just taking your word for it. Aren't we, Sarge?

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Yeah. I had no memory of ordering this. I ordered
a blood pressure machine.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
What? Oh, no, that's okay.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
So I remembered I was dizzy in bed last week.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Can I just?

Speaker 4 (42:31):
I was dizzy in bed.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
As we say here on the Buck Up, I love
to say I told you so.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
I'm just going to say one word. It's got quite
a few syllables.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Hypochondricate?

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah. Yeah. Not me.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
No.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
Hypochondronate.

Speaker 4 (42:47):
It's really fun. Oh, have you used it?

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Of course.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
It's just a little strap and you turn it on
and it does it. I hate it.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Does it pump up your arm?

Speaker 4 (42:54):
Yeah, it does that, mate.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
No, I don't like it. 60 bucks.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
I have a perfect reading.

Speaker 3 (42:58):
But of course you do.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
Well, I was dizzy in bed. Why was I dizzy?

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Why were you?

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Probably staring at my phone screen for four hours.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
What? You ordered a blood pressure monitor? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
You want to use it. I forgot to bring it in,
by the way. I was going to bring it in
and open it and you would jump on.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
No need, Boomer.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Because the people that have come over, we've laughed about it.
That's such a Boomer, isn't it? Yeah, my boyfriend's got one. Yeah,
my parents have one.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Oh, has he?

Speaker 4 (43:23):
My parents have one. I'd stand up about it. But
people come over, a couple of friends have been over
and they've laughed at me and then they, before they
know it, everyone wants to know their blood pressure.

Speaker 3 (43:36):
Wow, you're having a rollicking good chance. Rollicking good times.
Whose group's cooler?

Speaker 4 (43:41):
You've got your mystery bag.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
We've got our blood pressure machine. Who wins? But you
know what? Either way, each group has an equal chance
of ending up in hospital. What a bum. I love it.
How does it pump up? With that little tube. This
is what I bought.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
It's all automatic.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
No, none of that.

Speaker 4 (44:02):
It does it all itself. You just put the strap
on and it does it itself. $ 60.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
$ 60.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
I don't never know what the figures are.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
Of course, I've got Cody or a Google.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
I could do something else, but it would also be
considered corkerish. Yeah, just leave it. Let's move on. Let's
move on. It's a text from mum. Okay.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
So we need context of this. So the first line
refers to some pain patches that she had sent to
her mum for her dad's bad back.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Mm-hmm. It's in a pain patch. I want some.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
Oh, I've ordered some online, but I'm not sure how
they work.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
They haven't arrived yet.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Let me know.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
But amazing things happen with them. And then I saw
a guy, I nearly ordered it today.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
He's invented this little buzz thing. So it looks like
a little.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Collar?

Speaker 5 (44:55):
No, it's something you hold in your hand, almost like
a men's shaver. And he puts two rubber or silicon
heads on it. that looked like pencil erasers, and then
he holds it behind his ear and it gets rid.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Of panic attacks.

Speaker 5 (45:08):
And I nearly ordered it and then I realised I
don't have panic attacks.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
It's not like he's.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Got a panic attack because he's in pain. He's screaming
out of pain, like a nerve ending. No, he's got a–
The vagus– When he uses it– What's that nerve they
always mention?

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Oh, your vagus nerve. Isn't that in your foot?

Speaker 4 (45:29):
No. This guy's way off.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
But he does something when he was using it on himself.
This is what nearly got me out of the line.
He goes, oh, like that.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
And then he goes, I can already feel it. And
I'm like, I've got to order that. And then I went,
I don't have panic attacks. Anyway, Davina, she ordered pain
patches and sent them to her mum for her dad's
bad back. Thought if it rains, they may get wet.
This is from the mother.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Fair enough.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
The pain patch.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
It's a patch. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (46:02):
The guy who brings the wood just had a cancer
cut out in his leg and he said it's aching.
Dad wants to know if he could put a patch
on his leg near the wound.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
It's a text from mum. Why is a man bringing
them wood?

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Oh, they obviously have an open fire.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Okay, so people just bring you wood if you have
an open fire.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Well, if you order it. All right.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
Yes. Have a man.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
And he's carrying wood with cancer in his leg.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
It's an open wound. But you know what?

Speaker 5 (46:31):
You know what I take from him? He's a solid
working man.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yes. A proper working man.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
He's got holes in his legs. It's not stopping him.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Correct.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
So the dad wants to put one of these pain
patches on the man who's recovering from cancers.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
Yeah, but he wants to know if he can use
it near the wound. I would say just off the
top of my head, no.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Wouldn't you?

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't advise it. But I don't know what
Davina said. Also, Davina. Can you let us know if
the pain patches work?

Speaker 4 (47:05):
That's on a text from my mat. It's just Kate asking,
by the way.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
Yeah, that's just me asking. Oh, what a buck. Oh,
I'm so bucked. My cup is filled.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
But also, I sort of feel violated as well. That
was a rough ride, wasn't it? We're dragging each other.
We're throwing each other. We're upping each other.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
We're dancing.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Drowning each other.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
There's been a couple of times doing this pod where
I have driven home, just a couple, in complete silence.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
No music.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
That's so good. And you know me, love a distraction.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
You know what that reminds me of?

Speaker 4 (47:41):
Got in the car and just gone.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
After a yoga class, sometimes.

Speaker 5 (47:49):
you have the sensation, they use this as an expression,
that you've been wrung out.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
So it's like literally taking a wet sponge and twisting
everything out of you and you totally sometimes lie there going,
I have nothing, not a thought, not a sensation, I'm
just totally in myself. Is that the sensation? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:11):
You know what you've just described is why people say
you've got to exercise.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Yeah, but I don't get that from normal exercise.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
You're supposed to.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
I don't get that from boot camp.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
Like if your body's hurting, your mind can't, all this crap. Shush.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
No, but of course you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
I don't know why I'm so angry.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Why are you? Because at some point you're going to
have to start exercising. I know. But I can't see when.
You look great.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
Oh, that's nice.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Thanks.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
You might be like my girlfriend Alice who doesn't do
any exercise and looks stunning.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
I do move.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
I just don't push too hard ever.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
What sort of movement?

Speaker 4 (48:43):
I'm going to walk around.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Typing doesn't count.

Speaker 4 (48:45):
Typing.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
This is 1930. Type on the keyboard, you fool. Oh,
that's terrible. So innocent. Just so innocent. And to talk
to you like that, who's a newborn. I'm new to
this earth. You're new to this earth. But also, you're
reminded of the ways in which toddlers are irritating. Oh, jeez.

(49:07):
A man wears one nappy. But beautiful.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
That's nice.

Speaker 3 (49:10):
Beautiful, but also, that's enough. Time to get a babysitter.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
I think today's going to be another silent drive home.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
I love you.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Love everyone.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Love you.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
Bye.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Love you. Bye.
