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

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Past you, they yell out, they bitch tits.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
The world you see is a place of paradox of
beauty and cruelty. It will cut you off of the knees,
then gift you.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
A pair of easies.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And that, my friends, is why you always always need
a buck up.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I bad, bad, bad, bad, bad about.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I cannot wait.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh my god, I need a good up, deep, relentless.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Wow, bucking. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
I need it from the front.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Okay, you need it from the bat taking notes.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I need it in my eye.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
I need it.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Is difficult. I've never bucked an eye. Don't know how
your bucking eye. You are online buccing eyes calin.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Nate valvo one and only.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Who I would say, I would assume your I don't
want to age shame on the buck up, but I
would assume you're the oldest pea plater I've ever seen
in the world. As I witness your car driver to
the car park just before rock and pea plates are
up to what scam are you?

Speaker 3 (01:43):
What is it? Was I doing something wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
What scam are you cooking?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
That I'm sharing that car. That's my mother's car.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
The RAB for classic mom car.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Isn't it a classic mom car?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
A rab?

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah? But you've got a new rav Okay that how
old's that rap tene? No one? Yours is new ish
new ish. You got it from Giuseppe.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Thank you, Giuseppe.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
He's got all the Toyota contacts.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
He's retired now, but it's still got the he's got
the contact.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'll be coming for him.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
He's got the contacts. They're on the golf course right
now talking about rad Fall's.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Oh, of course they are. That's been a perennial, the
RAB four.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
It's a mainstay of Australian roads, the RAB four everywhere you.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Look, do you know? Because this is and this is
I believe a sign of either a culture galloping away.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
From us or.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Being boomer adjacent. When I see the names of new cars,
I don't recognize you.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
What it's just supposed to me?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well, I just don't know what they're called. They're still
a HINTI and a Kirk and a roof and a
Cherry with one R and a Brooks and a gr
V and an sr X.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
And you've always got that uncle that knows they're from.
They are the Chinese cars. They go Chinese cheap, but
they go good.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
All right, I'm going to say this about Chinese cars.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Lean in, folks, But first of all, I know what
you're going to say about the Chinese car.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
We have to introduce someone who has a lot in
common with the Chinese height wise.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Oh yes, yeah, real Chinese energy.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
High wise, the greatest producer in the land. I should
say it, do you have with the Chinese? Because there
are some very tall Chinese and you are not one
of them.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
There we go no.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
But overall I think.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's like, hey, we're all about generalizations on this pod.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Of course we are. That's all. We've got. All of
that generalizations about other races and cultures is the reason
that we've all got to the point we are today.
Do you know what that it is? Could always tell
who was in their tribe.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I want to know why you've got pea plates and
we're talking about tribes. This is how much you're deflecting
right now. That was a masterclass in deflecting.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Sasha for how are you now? We don't have time,
but she seems to be quite good. She looks beautiful,
shutting up very early in the morning.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Work done on the face?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Have you? What did you do? What did you do?
Why want it?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
You've got a bit of bobo. Oh you look.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well. What I'm saying is you look fresh, even if
it hasn't kicked in yet.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
We clogged it because normally you do not. You do
not look fresh.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Gasping sounds as though I'm insulting Sasha French.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Well, she said I've got you look fresh. She said
a hard bowdogs And you said, has it kicked in yet?

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah? Because I was in giving her a better compliment
because you're like I thought you had that you have
had baby. That's the why you look good. Whereas I'm saying,
even if it hasn't kicked in, you, my young Chinese
heighted friend, are adorable.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
There we go, and that's what I picked up from
that shoe. Still hasn't answered by the pea plates.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Okay, yeah, pea plates, because when I you know, when
I took the Mercedes, the doctors can't.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Seven hundred bucks or something.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
They got four we got, bought it for twenty.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Went to the car yard, came home without a car
in an uber an unheard story.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Prestige something. The uber was not a prestige experience.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Okay, it was really full on.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah movie, no amount of your tom Ford foolery.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Thank you for smelling me.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
You smell good? What is it?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
This one is a classic tom Ford push push to
back over Nil, that's a it's a classic.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I should so expensive.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's a very good question. Doesn't stop me from buying them,
but my god, it's expensive. This thirty meals was three
hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, no, crazy. Do you know I read have we
talked about this before? That great book about perfumes that
I also gave.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
You, I would read that.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Oh, I'll give it to you, lover. It is the
most fascinating book. And it was written at the time
for perfume aficionados. How many of them would listen to
the backup?

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh so many.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
When ermes were doing their It was Jardin Denial or whatever,
the Garden of the Nile, Jardin Denil or whatever it's called.
And it's about how the perfume houses used to throw
these incredible parties. They probably still do. And the New

(06:30):
York Times had a perfume reviewer, and the guy who
wrote this book was a perfume reviewer. And it talks
all about the celebrity scenes and the only person that
ever worked on theirs that actually got nosed down tail
up biz guess.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
No, Brittany, no Taylor? No, Oh, what's her face? The
old school woman who's like ninety? Now that one, Sarah Jes.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
That's not you started it, you started.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I was talking about what's her face? She was at
the film festival the other week, and everyone's like, Wow,
she's still got it. She want to tell her, No,
she doesn't it. It's the one that she's a really.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Old actress, actress really Jane Fonder. No, I don't know
any other old.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Actress, really old, like the true icon left of the time. Really,
come on, people are screaming at their phones right now?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Are they could? But we don't know. You'll close the terror.
I can't think of I'm hungry Dean Robin's game. I'm hungry,
hang on Sash if Sash doesn't know. And she's good
at working with.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Very little Jane John Colin, Joan Collins Colin. She's still
with us.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay, No one thinks of her as an old actress.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I didn't do I say old actress? Oh you said,
didn't She have famous per fumes. When I think of
someone else, I'm thinking of Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor, I'm
thinking of Taylor.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Hers was one of the first ones. White Diamonds talks
about it in the book, and it really completely changed
the whole perfume industry. And one of the most significant
changes that it made was that perfume used to be
tested on your skin, and now it's tested on paper.

(08:25):
So you know how people sprayed on swatches.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I never use that it can You've got to smell
what it tastes like with your oils. If you're with
your skin, don't sniff it in the shop. There's already
stuff coming down from the vent out. Spray on your wrist,
walk away spot on. Wait fifteen minutes. That's how you're
going to smell. Anyway, I'm all about it.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Interestingly, all the perfume houses have got these machines now,
and imagine scientists would have them bloody AI where they
can put anything in and it crushes it and it
gives you an analysis to the micro point micro of
what the ingredients are. Now, this is a long way

(09:05):
of getting to say to you, we just need to
get ahead on one of those machines and put in
the tom Ford.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well you can you hear the dupes?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
No, we don't want that.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
I've purchased them and it's a sugar hit. They last
for about ten minutes and they're gone.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
This is why I'm saying to you, let's get that
machine in a proper and what are you going to do? Chemics?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
We're going to steal tom Ford's recipes. Yes, call it
a recipe for a frog. I think he would, why
not totally? So the pea plates, all right, the pea plates.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
So Artie, my number three shares that car with me.
It was supposed to be his car, but he dallied
so long that I said to Peter, I'm sick of it.
Like we like Bogans. You know, Bogans have always got
car wrecks in their front yard, Old school Bogans when

(10:03):
they had front yards, big yards, before everyone was squeezed
into blah blah a.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Chinese cars.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Have you seen the new Blip yet? Have you driven
you blip? Oh? That's what I was going to tell
you about.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Just tell us about the people about the pod.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
He downla'd so long getting his license that I said
to Peter, it's insane that there's I'm driving these rotten
old Mercedes that is just cruel to me, and that
we've got this perfectly good rab four sitting there. I'm
going to start driving it. Well, this is a very
interesting thing about motivation in life. As soon as I

(10:46):
started driving it, guess who.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Went and got their license number three?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Number three and got it first time? And now we
share a car, which I can't find really sweet still.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
But we forgot to take them off.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I should have to take them off.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I don't think that's how it works. But what is
the pa plate rule? Are you? You're only allowed to
have one person in the car for a year or something.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
That right, if they're relatives, if they're related to you,
you're allowed to drive them. But if they're not related
to you, one you're allowed to have one passenger.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
One friend at a time.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
To stop the Hoons, Yeah and Ai yeah, correct, correct?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
And the Chinese.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Chinese cars which which are listening, of course they are.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Did you see what happened when you know the Americans
just went to China and when they were getting on
is it Air Force one or whatever, Trump and all
of them had gone. There was a rubbish bin at
the foot of the stairs. Did you see that sash?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Are we getting rid of it? Here we go?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
No, no, it's not a cookie thing. It was it
was It was on the on the on what literally
every single thing that they had been given on the trip.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh I saw this bed, Yes, try threw it out.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
They all had to. You're talking about tie pins a
type pin are like a commemorative something, bouquets of flowers, gift.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
They had been given microphones, microchips, GPS.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Burner phones that they were issued. They couldn't take their
phones into China. Everything went in the bin. You should
have seen. It was overflowing, classic, classic fastic. I could
use some new chopsticks.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Of course, give me that phone. I don't care for
I don't like that joke I used to say about
I don't care if things are listening. The article that
I did see the other day about these smart cars
from not just China, from a few countries are listening.
I don't care. I don't care that my phone's listening.
Do you care that your TV is listening? No?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
No, good luck?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
What are you going to do with it?

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Do you know what? Good luck with my TV listening?
Because the sound on it's so terrible that honestly, by
the time it gets back to Sam sung all there
here the bots that are taping us, we can't No one.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Is interested, No one is interesting.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
However, I thought they need another way to get rid
of things, because I don't think that's nice for the Chinese.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
I think that was done on purpose, as a bit
of a look to get I don't want to get
into the weeds. But apparently he annoyed him straight away.
She annoyed Trump because he said something in the first
day that pissed them all off. Blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Apparently it was.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
All games, it was all it's all the whole world. Oh,
she's not wrong.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
I don't even get the cooker for that. No, I
don't need it.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, I said, you're not wrong.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
He said, I'm not wrong.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Take it, take it back.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
You've been like saands rewarder. Let's cook it backwards, cook
it backwards. Do you record?

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Do cooker?

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Recook? The word words backwards? Just everything always is Satan.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Is adjusted, cooker backward is recook.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
No it is no, it's not it wouldn't be cooker.
So it ends with her. It's er.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I'm right, I'm right, what is right? I'm right?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Say it again? Recook, No, say it in a backwards voice.
In a backwards voice.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
You're like a five year old being read to. You're
not doing the voices. Do the voices?

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Rare polish.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Pollers bad speaking of me.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
If you listen to the backup backwards, I've never told
them that we're saying all sorts of cooked.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's like subliminals.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Just listen to it back folks, Oh yes, telling them
to leave their partners.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
What we've got feedback, feedback, so much feedback. But before
we proceed with feedback, we have to gather our buck
whit brethren for the part of the assembly that we
refer to as the money back Guarantee. People may have wandered,

(15:37):
stumbled their way in like a blind pig in a forest.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
From their new car, which is called the the Sheshey.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, anyway, like a blind pig in a forest. They
will have stumbled over the truffle welcome, that is the
duel at the the mighty Oak Tree.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Not a mountain that you're going to die on in
September could be.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
And they'd be like, why when I listen to this
podcast do I, at the end of it, feel so
inexplicably good. I'm still the moldering, languishing flesh suit that
I was at the start.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Suit, saggy, depressed flesh suit. Well, this sack of skined and.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
That is all of us, that is all of us,
of us, and we are the rising tide that raises boat.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
And this is what I said to you before walking
in the studio. Maybe other buckheads have what I have,
which is.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
You know what I know that you don't. Okay, but
it really gives you a lovely flower my red.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, the amount of things I do to keep my
rosation in check, many things.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
You told me there are two types.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
There's more than two. There's so many different types. Yeah,
there's and there's no cure. You can you can deal
with it. No, no, no, I said to you. Yes, your
topical IMC does work for a certain kind of rose.
What you say it you say, Oh no, I want
to get it wrong. Topical I have a mean Yes,

(17:40):
I said, I've emctum before I started to concentrate. But
let's move on from rosasia. That wasn't the point. But anyway,
while I'm on it, Hello Rose.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Hello, Hello, Well, because yeah, in life, there will be afflictions, pitfall, speed.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Red cheeks, bombs on your nose. You don't know chin.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
So in the meantime, we will stick fat with each
other and we will give you a money back guarantee
that you come to us every week full of Also,

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Friends spread the word.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
You need to spread the word people if you want
the buck up to hang around.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, you need to.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Spread the words.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
If you hear an ad, do what the ad says.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
What if the ad says, I don't listen to the Yeah? Anyway,
all of that is why you feel good in our company,
and we feel good in your love.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
The buckheads, the warm yes, well and understanding. This is
in life. So it's may is. This happens to me
every May. May is happens to me. I don't like
the actual word for it because it sounds way too serious.
The technical term is like seasonal depression.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Oh ye, seasonal justice.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
And I thought April mad April man May made I
am down like a ton of bricks. Yeah. And so
to our buckheads that are like me right now melancholy, Yeah,
everything's a bit dark and everything.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Requires efforts somehow, can't mustle not sad on.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
The corner hotline. I don't need to be looked after.
That's just a feeling of melancholy on we.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
On a French term. Of course, the French have got
a term happens every May, and it's kind of a
feeling of weakness and helplessness.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
We'll have that twelve months of the year week.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
But you're very French anyway. You are right and we
are right.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
God, except for my obvious rosasia.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Feedback of feedback, All right, this is so good. Now.
Remember I've thought about this quite a lot, which normally,
as you know everything that happens in here, I forget
the instant that we walk out at the.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Door mere seconds later, sometimes.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Midd sometimes we'd sentence.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Made your own story. You don't know what's.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Happening anyway, but I've thought about you. Remember you told
us you wanted to get your ears pierced.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
You need to tell me if I'm going through some
weird early midlife crisis. I want to get both my
ears pierced. And Cody, the way he's looked at me
when I've said it, I think he thinks I'm going
through a mid life crisis, Kate. I want to get
there and their two little black earrings.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I think you'd look like and this might be a
look that you like.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh, you'd look like.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
A nineteen eighties Berlin rent boy. Okay, okay, and you asked.
You seem to think that my feedback was somehow insulting,
but I not properly wasn't. I was saying, this may
be a look that you want. But I'll tell you

(21:03):
who's got feelings about while we took it to the buckheads.
The buckheads such wouldn't let me look. No, you don't
need to look. I'll bring them to you. But let
me just say, these people that really love you will
tell you some harsh true you know, and people who

(21:23):
don't really love you.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I'm sad. I'm sad already, as their kids will say.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
And if you don't like it, you can also say
that's cap as the kids say, I got it. Bulldogs, bulldogs,
it's a person called bulldogs. Oh okay, yep, don't get
both ears pierced. If you're over forty, you could look
like a middle aged lesbian.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Hey, nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Well, I'd be scared to look like a middle age
lead because people would have asked me to help with things,
and I'm not good with my hands.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
They'll want to borrow your use and.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
That are me for like hot tips about what dog
breed to get.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
I don't know, Dave, you'd look like a lesbian named Susan.
Very specific, very specific, but totally accurate. Okaya, Natalie, My
twin brother got an hearing a few years ago and
we're almost forty. I had to ask him if he
was okay and eventually begged him to take it out.

(22:24):
He thanked me later after seeing photos of himself and
Christmas resist the urge name.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Oh, I'm here on your okay? So people are really
lesbian regretful right.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Because you are? What am I? Well? You have beautiful
skin and you're very slight, a frame taller than one
would imagine at five three or four, and what a.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Little burn are you.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
There?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
You have the personality of someone smaller, and the way
I carry myself to is it a smaller person.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
You know what quality you've got that I love in people,
and a lot of people don't have it. When I
see you, I can see the child that you were,
and you know sometimes same with Sashka Prefect anyway whatever
that you know, some people lose that quality, particularly mean,
it's harder for them to retain it. I think true

(23:27):
a childlike vibe. Just know that you can see the
child that they were, Not that you're a big man
child or anything like that, thank you, but that you
can just see the spirit of the child.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's so nice. Again normally afforded to a small person.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
I don't think so how old?

Speaker 2 (23:46):
How old? How tall? Is tall? By the way, I

Speaker 2 (24:31):
It's not too bad to be higher than that?

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I mean, you could pull it off. Pull it off
your ears. Take it seriously. And then we had feedback
about the phone six operator. Let me make the sound.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Please don't come on, I'll just do it.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
I'll do an approximation. Hello, or you're really turning me on.

She's come in with them, she's come in, so I
called she was terrible.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
This girl.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
I was much better than her. But Pats's point is
such a good on the line and listen to this.
Your bill was tiny. We had disputes over ten to
twenty k in the late nineties.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Of course they would.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
My name is Pats. I was a phone sex operator
and the voice of the champions line.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I don't know what the champions It sounds like a
good line to call Pats. Pats right to us again
and tell us what your trick was to keep him
on the line. We won't have a mug of water
on stampire.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
I think I think we should get Pats on the show.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I want to hear Pats's voice yeah, hello buckheads.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
As Yeah, give us the don't for nothing.

Speaker 2 (26:01):

the earth even.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Question the telephone?

Speaker 3 (26:33):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
The Let's talk about late night TV. Back when you're young,
it was so soothing because you had cooking paid for
cooking shows. You had genuine late night shopping where it
was live. Sometimes they were live on air selling you things.
The next thirty callers are going to eat this? Hello easy,

can still find them in people's hard rubbish when they
put it out on the curb.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
There's always Limb would always fall for some sort of
cutter for the vegetables, things that cut vegetables. Fingers, yes,
and limbs always. Limb was always a great cook, but
loved shortcut from made work.

Zimmle or.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Someone in the house, I'm not too sure if it
was my older brother or Lynn someone or even Giuseppe.
Someone in the house have a memory of this being
delivered those things that you were attached to your muscles
and turn it on and it electrocuted the muscles and
made them spasm, and it was supposedly workout. My household
had that device for a while. Its highly dangerous.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yes, I wanted to Yes, I think that's how it works.
I didn't know you could get that at home.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
We got that many years ago. So you had that,
you had film clips, you had hot dogs from Big
Brother doing games quizzes, and yeah, it was something about it,
very soothing because that I've just had a moment. Guess
what that was. That was the og phone scroll? Oh yeah,
it was was the og phone scroll.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah, and it wasn't full of doom.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Doom, and they're trying to sell your ship. And then
a thing Kate called the Internet came change.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
See why we say she's the greatest producer in.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
The land, and that one's a bit of a given,
but sure it was a given.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
You were completely stumped by it as design.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
It was the hardest question, the hardest question I've ever
been asked.

Speaker 3 (28:43):

you know, molds.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Okay, the shadow lame is something that we all recognize
that he is.

of course, one person. It's always pumping. Every time I
go to office Works, people print and shop it.

What capitalism, No, sorry, capitalism.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Telling you something. You don't understand about how you're supposed
to work. What you then have to inconvenience yourself further,
I have to tell you why, what are they going

Or? By the way, I'm off off to the supermarket.
Do you need anything?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Make you a cake?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
You are good for lunch, babe.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
If i'd known you were coming.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
What psychotic?

Speaker 3 (32:54):
What did you say?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
I didn't know I had to do that one moment.
Radio is a guy in a huff. She angry, agreed,
I waited, I'm not kidding. Ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
No, no office works nocause.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I didn't let them know I was on the way.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Hi, Hi, darling, I'm on my way in the relationship.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Now, when did we get married?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Now?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
When did we get married?

Speaker 3 (33:19):
This is how I know that you've really worked up
ahead of steam. You just said about office works? What
are you my wife?

Speaker 5 (33:29):
You are a man who.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Was so pushed into a fantasy world where rage was
the fuel. You imagined a woman forced to share your
miserable romantic existence instead of your beautiful husband with whom you.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Haven't fun Yeah, it's funny. That trope doesn't work. We
all know women are the ones that bang on.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
My when you're on your way home.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Yeah, crazy labor insane.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Let me know when you do that again. Are you
saying that you could have just gone to the store,
walked up and down the aisle, found your dongle.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Gone to the counter, paid for my dongle. I think
I did.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Do you think?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
At one point I was watching the guy look for
my dongle, standing in a little circle next to the
counter that says clicking, but staring at this other guy shop.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
I think I've got to excuse me.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
No.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, it's a hard dongle to find, and not everywhere
has it, so it had to be a very specific dongle,
and that's why I clicked. I went on getting in
the car because it could have been the last one there, right,
so quick, Yep, that's the one I want done.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
But when it told you what store to go to,
you knew that that store had them.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
But it could have just been the last one. What
if I got in my car and went there.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah, but that didn't happen because because I literally got
your dongle off the shelf while you waited like a
fall for thirty minutes behind. Nana getting pictures printed from
her childhood in Collabria. This is the one photo I have.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
I need the door copy.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yes, can you This one's a he's a you'll see
it's like a summone's sprinkled salt. Can you make him
a one one? Look? Look a good.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Shadow labor pull your finger out off as wall.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
That's that's terrible, terrible, all right? You know how on
this thing called the internet?

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Never heard of it?

Speaker 3 (35:43):
I think it's going to be big.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Can I invest too late?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
A gift?

Speaker 5 (35:49):
I think?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Was that a gift from Australia.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
To the world Wi Fi?

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Anyway?

Speaker 2 (35:54):
A woman? But a woman made the Internet army army
a woman and did something.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Yeah, a woman did something. A woman used it to
set up a Pinterest page. That's what we do.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
At some point, a woman has done something. I want
that on the record. You know what you've done?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
A whim. A woman did it, didn't get the credit,
and then Disney will make a film about it and
she'll be black woman.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Well that was a weird turn, but fine, that's.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
What will happen. That's what we'll find out.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
One of the best jokes on the Internet is there
is a woman that makes tiktoks telling you what women
have invented that, don't They don't get credit for Oh
I love it. The joke is and a guy has
made another TikTok account and he talks over her on
her video verbati and what she's saying saying it's very.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Funny, funny. Okay, So I ended up on a deep
dart on a page that has it's about the power
of pres out. How was that night going power prayer? Well,
you're about to find out. I never thought that the
power of prayer could be so entertaining. Well, because what

(37:12):
it really is is and you know, I'm big on
board with prayer in your childhood.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Sorry, this is a very naive, dumb question. Who are
you praying to?

Speaker 3 (37:21):
We were praying to Jehovah?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Right, thank you the technicality?

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah way right, yes, okay that guy?

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Did you do confession?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
No, that's a that's a you think. Okay, Sash, you
would have done it. I loved it. Did you have
no better than you?

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Go and say forgive me? Oh yeah, but like I
swore at my mom And then the priest would be like,
go say five hol marriage last one like fifteen years old?
Fourteen years old? What was it? I just made him up?

Speaker 5 (37:46):
All the time.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Last one, remember that was my twenties. I'd gone through
it really so bad that you went to church and
confessed I felt bad.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Wowses what involved a friend and her boyfriend?

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Oh yeah, I just felt it all. We've all done
that in our twenties.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah, but I'm sorry I have done Did she know? Yes?

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Oh no, that's why you felt bad. Confession nothing, You
had to face up to her. That's the real That's
the real punishment is.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
The amount of insane things I did in my twenties.
None of them resulted in me in a church talking
to a priest. Sash, I've never liked you more, I pressed,
But you know.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
She's a really good person. She done something bad like that.
But I do think to be a really good person
you have to have done some bad stuff.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Double double Yeah. I think you have to know what
it is, how good it feels.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah, and also how you don't want to feel again anyway. Sure,
So I do not belittle people for their here we
go faith either, do I know?

Speaker 2 (38:52):
But a lot of because it's out of politics, I'm
fine with it. We have to throw that in because
that's how it works, Kate. Keep it out of politics.
And you can do whatever, but.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
It's all politics. Everything's politics. Nothing's more political than the
Catholic Church or any church for that reason anyway. Okay,
So strange people started sharing strange stories, and the stranger
the story's got the more.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I enjoyed a comment section. You want read it.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
I don't know what I was on. I don't know
what I was on, but I screenshot at them. Some
of them I've under got half the stories of. And
it's just like they were so to listen to this.
So my wife had the urge to leave her class
and go outside to buy popcorn. It was strange because
it was early in the morning, around nine am. It's

(39:44):
not non am food popcorn nine. So straight away they
had me. They had me old Adiami something. On her
way out of class, she saw a student gasping for
breath and the was no one to help her. Other
students were just looking and scared. She got close to

(40:06):
the woman, prayed with her, and she got better. It
happened that that student had a panic attack because of
her exam that morning. After that, my wife returned back
to her class without buying them popcorn.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
I don't understand what's happening.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
He stand any of it.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
But the comments people are loving it. There's praise being.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Popcorn and it's just nine am is not popcorn.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
It's not. No, it's definitely not popcorn.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
And it's really not even needed. No, that's a text
from mom. That's like a holy text from Mom.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Okay. I prayed for a man who had cataracts and
was going to have surgery the next day. He was
very nervous about it. We prayed three times, but no change.
The next day he showed up for the surgery, but
they couldn't find the cataracts. Praise Jesus.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
This could also just be a bad Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
Correct, that's what I thought.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
I need more information.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
I know who needs the eyes.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
I need the confirmation that they weren't there.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
They're just lovely, like they're just so. And these people that.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Love religion, I will say they love eyesight stories.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Oh yeah, it's always word to go to, back to
the Bible, the blind, the blind God.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
I just love it.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Yeah, that's the promise that the blind will see. Believe
me or not?

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Should have gone to specsavers.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Okay, when it starts with when it starts with believe
me or not, I know what camp I mean, I
just know what camp I mean. But God physically turned
a lightning bolt away from me while I was walking
into a grocery store with metal shopping carts. Literally happened

(42:00):
in front of my eyes while I was praying for
safety in head. One hundred miracle praise, Yes you.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Are us, rare prayer one in head, praying do you
do it? Praying in head, praying in hair, just like
I love them. In a lightning storm, metal through a
car park, it's in your head.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Yeah, what are you doing, mate, Yeah, it's it's it's
it's like playing golf. You can't do that in the
inner thunderstory and lightning storm siren goes off and oh
it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Get back inside and call your wife and kids.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Did you hear her language?

Speaker 2 (42:39):
We we we you just weed you on the golf course.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
That's her religion.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
That's who you are, that's you in your head.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
I love these people.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
I love them too. This is where they're getting their
buck up from praying in their head.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
And then sharing their stories. This is a bit annoying.
I've only got a part of this. I'm just sharing
with you. Just fighters were able to put it out
and said if i'd gotten home five minutes later, the
fire would have gotten into the attic and completely destroyed
the house. Always listen to my gut ever since.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
That I'm calling bullshit on that last one. But yeah, sure,
just I love a firefighter.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
I love it. We get all the heads, yes, but
because you know the thing about God is not interfering
with your rent. Do you know what I mean? They've
got to be things I think in the well, they've
got to be there's things in the in the arsenal well.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
It's that famous God story when the guy's on the
roof and the floods of floods are flooding and they're
coming and he's scared, but he knows that God will
save him. And then a helicopter comes and he says
to the helicopter, no, no, no, God will save me.
And then a boat comes and he says, no, no, no,
God will save me. Then he drowns and dies and

(43:57):
goes to heaven and says, why don't you save me? God?
And God says, I sent you boat and a helicopter.
You idiot, look at that. Remember that story?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
God said you reckon? If he thought that, how come
dudes still got to heaven.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Holding the story we got one on your God. Think
it was a bit of religion to the buck up
this ye, I love it of a holy feel. You
know why cover in the gamut?

Speaker 3 (44:24):
You know my theory that that what are you holding?
That is? Why?

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Why are you holding a tomato?

Speaker 5 (44:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Okay, I knew that that Nate Valvo would not know
what this is? Do you know what it is? Sash personally?
Do you know what this is?

Speaker 2 (44:40):
It's a tomato?

Speaker 3 (44:41):
Okay. It's funny that you say that, because I think
it is kind of described as a cross between a tomato,
but it's a fruit, which I know people also say
a tomato is it grows on a tree and it's
a It's so delicious. And now that I'm on my exclusions,
the things you can't eat, bring your joys sugar. Yeah,

(45:04):
and even though I'm not supposed to eat tropical fruits, oh,
tropical fruits? Is a banana a tropical fruit?

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Wh are you asking me?

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Well?

Speaker 2 (45:11):
They grow them in the tropics?

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Pineapple, pineapple?

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I just think like island life, coconuts, watermelon, watermelon, that's
not tropical.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
It's a good question anyway, But a per simon or personon,
as Sash calls them, is that they're just stunning.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
This is going to make me highly uncomfortable if you
bite into that like an apple.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
I'm gonna let you have some.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
No, that's the texture, but will make me well. Why
don't you bring it in? Place it on the desk.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
I need a snack to keep my energy out.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
It's only a fifty minute pod you're eating.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Look at it inside.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm you know, I'm all about texture
and food and that doesn't look good.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Where were we God? And then you scoffed your face
with a tomato.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
You know, in the Bible it doesn't say it was
an apple in the garden of Eve, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (46:07):
So many holes? We are picking holes left right.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
People always go on the apple, even the apple. It
wasn't an apple.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (46:15):
It was the fruit of the tree of the knowledge
of good and bad. Doesn't say what it was. And
I obviously I've always thought this since I was a kid.
Couldn't have been an apple. No one's giving up paradise
for an apple. Okays, just swallow your food.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
You're insane. Tomato, out of all the things for someone
to bring in and put on a table for a pod.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Well, because I needed a piece of fruit.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Just so you know. Growing up in our street there
was a girl up the road that used to eat
tomatoes like apples. She just hold it and like hole
into it, and we bullied her for many years.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Now, that's weird. That's weird. But this I'm getting flushed
back on per Simon stunning.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
You don't like them, Okay, don't have another bibe pod.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Okay, alright, alright, you'll tell me something. Let you talk
and I'll listen.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
It's so true when you let someone else talk because
you love your dinner. That's the only time we can
get a word in with me is I'm scoffing into food.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
It's like at parties, peploids wonder why I'm sober. I
haven't had a times. It's really terrible.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Being the talker. A quick carpet update. We've I said Cody,
we're right, I can't talk.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Did you tell Cody what happened?

Speaker 2 (47:41):
I'm talking in tongues because of our religious episode.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Did you tell Cody that's what of everything?

Speaker 2 (47:46):
He doesn't care. He's like, how would they not know
that you're gay? Yeah, that's what I do they not
meet you something like that? Some sas just because you
say things in a Queensland voice doesn't make you any less.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
No, that's true.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
So I said, we're going down to the carpet place
and they're expecting you to be they're expecting you to
be a woman. Yeah, here we go. He got there.
He was a different person on and it wasn't in
the account notes that it was a bloody mister and
a missus, was it. So he just looked us up
on the computer and away we went rubbing carpet for
two hours. No for the find. We found a.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Carpet bit of a right, it's like a it's like
a don't say oatmeal. No, oh good it and you
know what, let's let's rewind and what if it was.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
But let's talk about this. What if it was too late? Now,
Champ and then for the rest of our friendship. I
know you hate my hair, oatmeal carpet.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
That's when you tell people a baby's name.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Or an ex all of that. What's your issue with
oatmeal carpet?

Speaker 3 (48:48):
No, it's just all in that beige family, which I
know everybody has.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
I know ours has got some like brown. It's the oatmeal.
He said, it's I'll show you it's oatmeal, sim and
away because you're sucking it and your juices are flowing.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
Oh gosh, God forbid, I should enjoy myself.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
I don't want to show because maybe that is oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Do you know what happened today?

Speaker 2 (49:11):
It's very lash on the feet.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Let me see already. It's completely and utterly oatmeal. That
carbon even has the texture of oatmeal. You you hate
our cart I wouldn't like to eat it for breakfast.
But the way that you talked was his thun and
you know how I felt about it. For you, it

(49:33):
wasn't for me. I dreaded beeg time hate oatmeal. Yeah,
I hated the sun's setting. It's ominous.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
You had sad I did.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
And also in Brisbane, as our Brisbane buckwhits would know,
there's no twilight.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
There's no twilight that sun. There's no wind. That's where
the breeze. Brisbane. I beg for a breeze when I'm there.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
But here's the difference. In Melbourne it's hot, you have
to keep your house shut up. In Brisbane when it's hot,
you open all the window open.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
It's wrong with oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Carpet. Nothing's wrong with that.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
I hope it's not oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
I said, not oatmeal?

Speaker 2 (50:12):
And what does that mean for the rest of our friendship?
I know you hate my carpet, but.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
You've gone through such a plava about it because and
when I was there and all everyone's got a voice.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
And because guess who, I'm married to a Queenslander. If
he had his way, If my husband had his way,
our house would be white cream and that's it. And
with no curtain, just just white everywhere I look. It's
just what this is the Queen's land.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
I'm a Queenslander.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yes, this is what I'm just saying. His whole family
just want everything white. And I'm in a constant with
my husband to have some sort of courage. All I
want is color because we're I'm giving him that for
other things, swinging in with color, A couple of paint
colors here and.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
There, hang on what not? Ah? What cushion?

Speaker 2 (51:02):
A cushion to No, we're going full Come on, we're
going full walls.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
There's going to be cushions there already is how many
oatmeal cushions?

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Someday said to me the other day, Sasha made me
count all the cushions in the house.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Your house.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Did she ever Yeah, remember when you were obsessed with
my cushions?

Speaker 4 (51:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:22):
How many there were?

Speaker 5 (51:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Did she ever tell you how many they were?

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Never got again, let's answer a question from two years ago.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
But why not?

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Yeah, I want to hear it.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
You know they say about friends. It's all just one
long conversation.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
None of the pillows oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
We don't have oatmeal. We probably should have a bit
more oatmeal, to be honest. Thirty two. That's so many,
just cushions, yeshions and including pillows something you know, not
bid pillows, but like sort of cushiony.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Pillows, cushiony pillows. They're pillows, they're cushions, they're cushions.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Guests, at least a couple, there's been a couple of casualties.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Oh yes, for the pillows because the dog.

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Ah, yes, yes, the dog. And also because I have
a pond shot for finding old tapestries.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Water sentence and I do a podcast with someone that
jos said that sentence. Say it again, please, I have a.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Pon shot for turning old tapestries into cushions.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
You know, when you go to ap shop your old
radio show used to do a segment Confessions of a Wanker.

Speaker 5 (52:32):
Oh there you go.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
I'll come on from say one more time, because I said.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Anyway, and a couple of them are a bit brittle,
so as soon as they get a bit of pressure
on them, and a cushion is designed to take a pounding.
And you know what they say, the better the cushion,
the better the pushing. And some of the cushions just
couldn't handle.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
It couldn't handle your pounding. Split too much pounding. What
are you doing to you? Really like pushing.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
Sitting on them? I'm sitting on them and you're up
and down, up and down.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
You're not. Oh, come on, that's what we bond over,
you and me, you and I together.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
It's my old self that was going on a trick
to base camp to die on a mountain and a purna.
You now I have to say to people it's and Aura,
not not Mount Everest.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
I'm sorry you haven't told our buckheads this this bit
told is the name.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
No, I've only just learned it.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
So you're going to a mountain called and why where
is it from?

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Mount?

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Can you see man Everest from?

Speaker 3 (53:47):
I haven't been there. And apparently, with the altitude sickness
that can strike at any.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Moment, someone's already milking it.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Okay, So my girlfriend Alice said to me, even really
sophisticated mountain climbers can get altitude sickness. And she said,
world class athletes. She said, there's no shame in it.
And then she said it's no shame. I'm going to
send you the symptoms. And I just thought, oh, how brilliant.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
It will be a lightheaded nurse.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
But did I read you what my girlfriend's brother sent.
Oh no, this is insane.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Look at this and prompt you mountain update.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
So, people who don't know, my husband's tricked me. He's
called this a holiday, but in fact we're going trekking
in Nepal.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
That's up there with you.

Speaker 5 (54:41):
I know it is.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
It's terrible. Okay, Now I didn't I don't like walking
that I know. Yeah, So why am I doing this? Also,
I'm manifestly unfit, as I discovered when I went to
my first ever pilates class with my daughter today for
a Mother's day press.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Surprising that you've never done pilats before.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
No, I've done a bit at a physio yoga. I
do yoga. But you know what I've learnt. I've been
kidding myself with yoga. It's like cheating, kidding myself that
PILARATEI sash, I've got a feeling for you that I've
never had before, and it's respect.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Is it the rope one? Because of the pulleys on
the PULLI one?

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Oh have you done it?

Speaker 2 (55:26):
No? Because I look at that and go no, my
feet things?

Speaker 3 (55:30):
Goodness?

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Yes, ropes in a class reformer. It was a reformer
you've gone to You can't go from zero to reformer?

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Well I did. It was a Mother's Day special. My
daughter wanted to take me a few weeks after Mother's dart.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Don't know what to get your mother this Mother's Day?
Dislocate her hip with one of these reformer pola classes.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Are you ready to hear this? So everyone's got involved
in this trek to Nepal?

Speaker 2 (55:54):
It is an intriguing story. I really will agree.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
People at boot camp, I've realized in the more asked
me a lot of questions, and then I realized the
underlying current was skepticism mixed with concern. Right, So they
watched me train every morning and they know what I'm
capable of which is I can't even run to a

(56:18):
witch's hat, which is ten meters away, and I've been
going for four years. So listen to this. We need
a name.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
My brother Steve.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Just trecked in Nepal. He didn't eat for two and
a half weeks, not a piece of food that was offered.
It was pretty bad, but he said the scenery was nice. God. Okay,
but listen to this. Give it a crack, Katie.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
I wouldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
Lots of love. That's my girlfriend nim right now. And
this is what his advice is. So should I choose
to accept it? Yeah, First and rather confronting update is
that distances are measured vertically, not horizontally. Example, today we
walk three kilometers that's up and three kilometers down.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
So there's no it's not a different form of measurement. No,
it's just a vertical Okay.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
Many you're climbing up to find the step climbing machine
machine at the gym as that will be her friend. Right,
Listen to this number two, visit the doctor blah blah blah.
Get boring exactly, but this one, yes, she will need porters.
Apparently they've got them on this trip. The she sorry,

(57:45):
and we'll actually need to listen to them.

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Okay, that's not going to happen. That's weird already.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Last time I was over there, my walking partner Andrew
became disorientated and suicide. Yeah, and suicidal. So heavy shit
happens at altitude. That should do it for starters.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
But like the good news is your suicidal before you
even got.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
Yeah, that's the prospect of It's got me suicidal. So
every one thousand verty called kilometer going up, that's gonna
buck me up.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
I mean, it's only up from here because you're so.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Down experienced climber suicidal four title.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
You know, this reminds me of we spoke about the
silent room. When people go here, they can't they can't
bear it, and no one can think for records only
like thirty minutes or so. I think this is what's
gonna It's gonna be you, your thoughts. You haven't eaten
for two weeks. Yeah, you're three kilometers that way. Yeah,
you are going to get suicidal. What about my husband, Well,
he's so lovely and kind. Maybe he'll be good for you,

(58:55):
I think, do you know what?

Speaker 3 (58:58):
He's made it quite clear he's prepared to pull out
of the marriage, and I don't blame him.

Speaker 2 (59:06):
Four kids says otherwise A little joke there, folks got it?
A little innuendo to end our bar Oh really, yeah,
doesn't land? I like to explain myself. We love a
text from mum. I love a longie, but we also
love a shorty.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
How do people send them to a sash DM on Instagram?
Couldn't be easier thanks to the miracle of the Internet.

Speaker 2 (59:33):
Internet killed the phone, but helps us from mom killed
the phone? Oh I like this one. A good text
from mum has a question and a statement.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Two questions in a stay yes, yes, yes, and if
we put unanswerable.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
A little bit? Are you home without you? Who was toutored?
I have pimples on my forehead.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
It's a text from what.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
Here's what's happening?

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
What's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Going to live in the same street? You?

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Yeah? Pupils on my forehead by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
Yeah yeah, and any of your business if you're if
you were tooted. But you know what else? That is
that at some point some people realized that ill health
is a form of currency. They can get the response, well,
they really scratching around pimple? Obviously, what else did she have?

(01:00:32):
It's unusual food and pimples.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
A mother's got pimples?

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Yeah, we have pimple?

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Could mean something more serious.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Like all my young mom, you have pimples?

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Well, there needs to be more.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
That's not a text from a young mom because her
daughter's getting tutored.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Was that was that you who was touted?

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
What did you do?

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
What does it mean? Was she heard someone get tooted?
Was that you who got touted? Parents aren't going to
forget a toot if someone's too parents are clock It
was aggressive. That's an aggressive dute.

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
I am back.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
I've loved it all. That was a wild buck up
adventure this week.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
We know what we're gonna get on this pod, and
that's what's a buck up. That's you know, they say
we never take the same roote every day, except of course,
in a long term monogamous relationship. Peter, I don't know's
r O U T E.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
But there'll be some new routes on the mountain. You've
never been there before. You've got to go on the
new ways.

Speaker 3 (01:01:33):
Another degree, there's another degree of information that's emerged about
the mountain and the edition.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
I've got it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:41):
Do you know what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
I reckon it's people get real up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
For I don't think so. I think they're too weak.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Okay, well I thought that's what you were.

Speaker 3 (01:01:48):
No, no, no, this is just another and I'm going
to just put it on the table as neutraally as I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Can put it next to your tomato.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Everybody else going on the trip is a school teacher.
Oh my god, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
So I'm going to be carrying the ball up the
mountains the key and saying.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
When Peter told me this, I went, what everyone who goes? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
No comment, no comment, no comment, no comment, What a buck?
