Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:25):
It will cut you off with the knees, then gift
you a pair of easies. And that, my friends, is
why you always always need a buck up.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Bad bad, bad bad about it.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
By bad about bad about about that, you have broke
the energy. Well, okay, because I've been up since.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Rairyly in the morning, bad.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Bad in Purple told everyone what you said about purple before.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
We can't say why do you want to say? All right,
I'm just going to say this. At any point when
you go through a country town, there'll always be a woman,
a woman who's been a steamrolled by menopause. She's decided
to own open a candle shop, little shop, and she

(01:30):
decorates the entire window in purple. Today, I'm wearing a
purple jacket that my girlfriend Flues gave me, and she
ordered it online and couldn't return it. She's like normally
she's me anyway. And I didn't wear it for ages
because it just didn't hang right. And then I took
it to Barley because I thought it'll make a good
pillow on the plane. And I when I looking for

(01:54):
my lost things at the airport, I just kept getting
interrupted by people complimenting this jacket.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Menopausal jacket looks beautiful?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Is only weeks away.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
I feel like most people have a fantasy about having
a little shop. Why is that such a everyone I
noticed sometimes goes. I just want to quit and open
a little shops. Just be regional in a shop?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Go rom com?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Is it because of.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
And speaking of rom com? Oh, the heroine from a
rom com? Think about what they're always like, desolate, busy work,
slatined by.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Life, dreary, drab, with barely the energy to lift themselves
from the ground, greasy hair. I prevent to you all,
look at her. She's full of no. You know, that
was how she was at the start of the rom com.
Now this is her at the end.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
She's got her man and she's got her flourishing little business.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
So it's the it's the little shop for the man
to walk in and you meet the man in the shop. Yes, okay,
so these are about the shop.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So these two or three jobs that are always okay
for women in a rom com one florist.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Or I have one. They're working a bookshop.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Bookshop okay, but bookshops are kind of gone, but there's
still someone who will decide to swim against the tide
and opens.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I've got one bookshop. Okay.

You know it's And it's no secret. She's the greatest
producer in the land.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
People who listen to this pod might go, well, obviously
not on this pod, but in her other job. This
is the fun job, her storied career. She's a really
formidable producer. But you said to me, your kitchen job
shop makes you so happy.

Every week you serve people.

pleasant thing to do. Is just price tag the DVDs.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, I love that doing that.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
It's so relaxing. There's something about it that's so.

Of course?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Have you still got a gun? Stun an? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:50):
And it makes this really lovely click. It's just very satisfying.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I've done it. It's great.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Get it. So I understand the shop fantasy. I have
one that I don't think I'm going to do, but
I sometimes think I'm going to do a property with
heaps of dogs that.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Can we just cut Can we just cut out the agonizing?
Now you'll be like I was where I know where
I was, But how this thought old?

Speaker 4 (05:26):
And I'm go get a coppery and I'm when you
get all the dogs that are really old but just
need care for the end of life that the dog
shelters can't take care of. Just have old dogs.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
And you think I look like I would be covered
in dog hair?

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Hang on, you don't think this is going to happen?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you know those stories are always on the news.
You know the news has got like certain sort of themes.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I missed the news, do you well? It's been ruined
by doors, so it's really put everyone off, but you
know the deep Yeah, do you know what? I just
liked it when well, the news has.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Been ruined by walls, the dog on the surfboard, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Or just a story I even want.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I mean, I don't want this, but I'm always curious
to see this that they've always found some woman on
a property, on a rural property in the RSPC.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I have done it raid and.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
There's always a very hungry looking donkey. There's always a donkey,
and you know it's flanks.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Feel good news story, just general news.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
I'm not expecting all the news to be good. I'm
not a Pollyanna. But it was just where you could
watch and go, oh, that's bloody terrible.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Okay. In forty years of earth, have you never experienced
the news story involving a woman, a property, dogs and
a donkey that was skinny?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Where you donkey, there's always a donkey. People neglect an
have a donkey all right now. I don't know if
the donkey is the reason for it.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
It's a horse.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Sometimes it's a horse, I think, yeah. Sometimes it's a
horse that's really terrible.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
That's bad, it's all terrible bad. I know a creatures
who we should love and cherish. But no, you because
it's good they've been rescued.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Okay, well that's what.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I'm going to do.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
What the donkeys.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
You don't think I would to end up on a
property with.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Dogs a hundred percent not a you can't live more
than five minutes from a cafe.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Well, when Buttle and I did our little tool last
year of a few regional places together, most days we
would fantasize about opening a regional bakery because she would
be all all over it.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Right, she can do it because she lives in Queensland,
so she's used to automatically not you know, being able
to separate herself from the main event.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
She's realized she's.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
The that's a little thing for the new Queensland number plates.
We're away from the main event.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's very it's a big place. That's why all the
influencers are going to the Gold Coast. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
The issue with Queensland for my for our industry has
always been there's been no hub there. There's no studios,
there's nothing filmed there. Studio no, I'm saying, never used
to be. So if you wanted to work in TV
and get on things, you have to be in Sydney
or Melbourne. So most except Bottle and as well love
that woman. Everyone's moved to Melbourne and Sydney drifted down.

(08:35):
She stayed and it's come good.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Scum always rises to the top, and that's what we
say about the people moving to the top of this country.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Where I'm from, where you're from, I'm from, You're never
going to go back. What's going on? Okay, I've got
a fantasy as well.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
I've gone back up. No, okay, what my life will be.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
When I have my rom com job.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Job.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's a wrong way to put a wrong com job.
So for men, we know what they are. Rom com
job doctor, always a doctor.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Sometimes it's just unspecified rich man. Sometimes they've just got
a job that you don't know what the job is.
They've just got a they've got a convertible that it has.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
To be clear that they're good.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
But they're good at it.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, that they didn't make their money by being an armstealer, do.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
You know what I mean? So they have to they
have to. They're building a project that's you.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Know, worthy war this episode, men can do well.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's the times we live in and that's why people
have come to us on the buck up.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
I have a personal war story for you in minutes,
but we'll get to that. A hook is it the
first ever time's done a hook with it?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
A hook?

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Got asel forward.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
And what would you call it?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
What do you call them?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Forward?

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Teas?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Forward?

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Teas used to do my Saturday showing over the old
boss us to come and play me back my breaks
Hell on Earth. So you're not easing enough? Why are
people listening in fifteen minutes, Nate? You've got to tell them?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Am I read that because the new show was coming up.
I'll be off air in fifteen minutes.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Guys, I'm almost done.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
So a man can be a doctor from com Yeah,
he can be an architect architect.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Like a really popular one, big one.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Or he can be And this is like a slight curveball,
and I think it shows the changing appetite that women have.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I know what you're going to say, some sort of
handsy trady capable, rough callous, just capable, capable, capable and
also hasn't brought into your girl job bullshit. So like
you're talking about to him about your job in PRRA
or whatever, and.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
He means me, oh, you just know what do you mean,
oh you say in general. You looked at me and
you want your girl. You looked at me with your
eye saying girl job with a weird voice. I just
thought you were bullying me as you.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
You don't have a girl job. You don't even have
a job. It's a really good point. Literally, it's a
really good point. It's a really good My daughter as studying,
you know, she stopped studying nursing and she swapped to
studying PR. And I said to her, Oh, a girl job.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Now my brother's in PR. This bullying, but it's a gay.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
She's a PR. I always said, well, it's like when
they talk about girl jobs.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
So for instance, where you're not the girls aren't coming
out of coal mines covered in dust and carrying their
pale with their leftover sandwich crusts in it. If you
think there's a whole, there's a whole, there's a whole
genre of girl jobs. Anyway, I said girl job to her.
Apparently that was insulting. I'm like, why, you're a girl

(11:54):
and this will be your job and.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
You're going to need her services one day.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I just know what's for her services to do. My
Nivia thing.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Crisis, this time. What's mum said that?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Anyway, it's terrible. What a passive aggressive woman. I am terrible.
Girl job job, girl job. So the difference is nursing,
which is mainly conducted by women. You do not call
a girl job. That's a job job. Mm hm.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Anyway, we were my fantasy. Oh yes, my fantasy. Okay,
so I've I've had this for a long time.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
It's not the skunk fantasy, no, no one.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
When we were in Balley, they had a pet otter
on the beach.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Not a skunk otter. They're cool.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah, an otter, a pet one pet. Well, it belonged
to someone and it came running under our table.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
That's cute.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Oh it was so beauty.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Oh yeah, fish it must have been when it was
hanging around under our table near the ocean. Anyway, it
was exactly where it should be. They're obviously not native
to Barley. I thought at first it was a ferret.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
And I was a bit repulsed.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Just so just a name, just the name.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
No, there's something about them. I can't remember what it is,
like people. Occasionally there was a phase. I don't think
we have it anymore where you'd see like a junkie
walking around with a pet white rat. Oh yeah, remember
having the supermarket.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Running along their shoulder or whatever.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
A lot a lot of Yeah, there's a lot of
dogs out there on the streets with with our homeless.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
I think it's a thing that makes me.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
I don't know, I always feel I'm not happy for
everyone involved.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, me too, especially you having to walk past.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
I'm going to have the dog in my farm and
a few have it.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
You're going to have it. I notice that you want
to set up a place for the four legs, but
not the two leagues. Who's the two legs? The person
that owns the doll?

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Who cares about people, who care about people? I care
about people, but I care caring about dogs is easier.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Okay, So you know I've already got my bagel boys fantasy,
which I should not have mentioned to Lewis, which is
when we're going to bake bagels and drop them off
to people, very niche, very niche.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Just for a fun thing to love it.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
I think you should do it.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
We haven't done it yet.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I shouldn't have suggested it because now Lewis is like,
every week are we going to do bagel Boys and
every week.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I can't do it.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Does he want to become a chef? No, And in
fact he is very into food.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, but he did a week with a not trial
even but with a friend of mine who owns restaurants,
and it was not for him. And in fact, since
he did the week, they haven't spoken.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Oh, I mean in the Jungle with George Colin bar Yes,
I was very into learning all about the the path
of chefs and all the politics of a kitchen. It
is so brutal, and especially now because it's so intense.

(15:12):
But basically, the whole system in a big restaurant is
there's like a triangle of bullying. Basically, it's just like
the higher you go, the meaning you can be and
it's just it just sounds awful, and then.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
You have to just you start at the bottom and
you've got to be able to.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
And when you're at the bottom, you're at the you've.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Got to be able to take ship big time. Yeah,
this is where Lewis had his problem. Does it have
to be like that because Lewis that's not a he's.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
A labor Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
But I've taken shit, not much really. Oh No, I
say a sage motto in life, you take ship until
you don't have to take ship anymore. Sometimes you never
get to that.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
I'm going to have that on one of my big
signs on my farm with all the dogs. So when
you're drive in up the big dirt track.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
And of course if you have the horse, you'll literally
have the bags.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
And when you're out the front and the sign takes
shit were it will say for your guard, Oh your fantasy.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Okay, So bag of.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Boys is one and this was my other one I
wanted to do. And this was born from when my
husband had his nightclubs. And you know, there's an interesting
thing about business is when you're paying rent on a place,
a nightclub is only used like forty percent of the time,

(16:34):
but you're paying rent one hundred percent of the time.
So that's why a lot of places that are open
at the night at nighttime also open during the day
for breakfast or whatever. And so I said to and
Peter was like, it's got a fully functioned kitchen, we
never use it.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
We should do something with it.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
And my fantasy was this that I've always had homemade
crumpets and a pot of teas.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
And Poe gave this the big tick remember it's.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Right because she loves a crumpet. But that is my fantasy.
Now this one slight problem.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I've never made the crumpet off from scratch.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, but they would be homemade crumpets and you just
go in and there's a pot of tea.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
To be a lion, it would definitely be one of
those wanky Melbourne places. It's gone viral, key basic through
the lines, winky, Yeah, the line's it'll go viral. H
there'll be a lion. Yeah. I remember when we had
our wedding in the CBD. There was all the Queenslanders
that were down knew about some I didn't even know
about it. Some bakery in the CBD Melbourne.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Oh it's Loon, is it Loon? It's the cross On.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
They were down there, like you know, six thirty in
the morning the day before our week.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Every time you lining up, there's a queue.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
I'm not lining up for a pastry.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
She put out a cookbook a few years ago, and
you know, I get an a rational set against someone.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Now.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
She's a remarkable woman and her crossants are stunning. I
don't get them because I'm not standing in a queue,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
But the cookbook. I went on, that's interesting. Guess how
long she said it takes to make her crossants two days?

Speaker 6 (18:08):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Oh what two days too long?

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Mate, I've never wanted to make a bonfire. Quickerup, I
just you cannot two days to make a cross.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
She became completely and utterly obsessed with making the perfect cross.
It became her life.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yes, would, she has built a business own right.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
But I'm not lining up for that. I'm trying to
think of food I would probably I would line up for.
Oh would I know? I can't think of a line
up for anything. I don't think of any food I
would line up for.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
And in fact, when we were traveling, we were reminded
of this when we were in Barley with the kids, saying,
traveling is probably, you know, gilding the lily. But at
night time we had never made a booking, so we'd
wander out with six of us trying to get in
somewhere for dinner.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
The nightmare. It was rab It's a nightmare.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
And so this was our rule, and we're like, you
know what the rule is, Lewis's We'll go to the
place that takes us.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
So consequently, lovely, you know what have you my farm.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Okay, we're all two legal, but consequently we ate a
lot of mediocre food, which is not necessary in BALI.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Not a lot, but really organized. But they'd have us.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Well, this is like that miracle a couple of months
ago of me and my friend's getting a booth without
a booking. A booth without a booking is a miracle.
But I'm sorry. I'm for the booking. I'm all for
the booking. But I also something that we would share
together though I know this when we if we were
young clubbing together, there was there's something that I know
we would share. I refuse to line up.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh no, don't anywhere. No, I don't line up the
lengths I would go to to get.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Into a club. I am skipping that line.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm getting into you talking to the bound.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
I'm getting DJ names, I'm getting DJ names, I'm getting
guestless names. I'm blah blah x blah blah, my friends
with blah blah blah. I was never lining up, and
you know what, I never lined up.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Don't line up?

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Your kids are young and probably club maybe club. He's
lining up for a club? Still thing, It still happens.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yes, And you know what feminism right in the olden days.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
In the olden days, a pretty girl, huh would be
shown in first with a group of friends, get a
free drink.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
No, they're not allowed to give girls free drinks.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Not allowed to That was my key, one of the
keys to my wife being friends with all the girls.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Pretty girl rock up with eight of them. That is
you know what I'm going to say, that's a misreading
of feminism. I mean, that was not that's not a
quality is because we are.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Given, We're all given in this world our basket of
privileges that we can play our aces.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
For women. Often it's prettiness.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
That's a very desirable, but like beautiful fruit, it goes
off pretty quickly.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
You don't have long. You don't have long to play that.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
You don't have long to cut lines.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, that's right, So don't take that away from it.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
I understand. I understand they want the women in there
back in the day, so the middle lads would want
to be in there because there's ladies in there. So
I kind of understand how the whole entire thing about
cutting the line was based on a man having sex
with a woman.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
Because I would want to go with the pretty girls were.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
But you're saying it's so funny you bring this up.
Yesterday I was chatting to a couple of younger gay gentlemen. Oh, hello,
Nick White, when on Nick White's podcast, it was very funny.
Did you call them a TikToker? Call these people that
do the clips anyway, tktoker influencer. Yeah, he's there, thirty

(22:07):
or thirty one or something. Anyway, long story short to say,
back in the day when I was really hitting the
clubs hard, the Peel Nightclub, the gay nightclub in Melbourne,
did a world first, very controversial thing where they got
a legal permission to refuse entry to women. Oh I
remember that, and it became headlines around the world. They

(22:30):
basically took a step back with like equality instead no,
we want to say no judged on sex.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
And girls wanted to go there because they wanted to dance.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Well, because I was going. That's when it was my
club at the day, as it not mine as in
me and my little girl. All the time Hen's nights
were coming. Oh I'm telling you, yeah, nothing worse at
the gay bar than a Hen's.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Night Valvo, nothing worse in anybody that's not a gay that's.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
A life thing. Nothing was when when you hear the cackle,
you see the bus pull up, I get people stumbling
out with fake tan, stopping like ankle socks.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
It doesn't it doesn't happen too much anymore. But comedy clubs,
especially in Sydney, used to get them the comedy store,
the face on comedians. When the host would come backstage
after the opening, I say, guys, we've got a Hens night,
and you would just die because they love it, because
the Hen's Night. Nothing else matters to that. Nothing else matters, jokes,

(23:38):
the show, nothing else matters. It's Katie's hair, yes Katie, Yeah,
it's awful.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
They do married?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Are you married? Is getting married?

Speaker 4 (23:53):
So these hens used to rock up to the peel
and treat it like the zoo. They'd walk in and
just like almost take photos of you and stare and
just get blind drunk and be highly inappropriate and screen
things and can you kiss?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
And we want to see you kiss?

Speaker 4 (24:06):
We want to see two guys kiss. Really Yeah, there's
a lot of that back appeal now appeal, So it
sort of came from that, but they.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Went a little bit too far and I hate you reckon.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, that's what it's what back. So women are now
back allowed the right.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Great, so funny though, great, that was like fern Wood
banning me. I mean that's and then they couldn't really,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'm so confused about what goes on in the world.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Now I have.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
The most amazing thing happened to my hairdresser, like so amazing.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Now I'm going to change her name. Okay, I'm going
to call her spet Lana.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
And the reason I'm going to call a switt Lana
is you'll work it out because the other person involved
in what happened to her may not know that it
was her, although she reckons they do.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
So I saw her the other day.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
I don want to say one thing. Yeah, if you've
changed her name. Yeah, also in the same sort of
part of the world.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's silly if.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
You're going to change your name.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, all right, that's a good point. She made up
more obvious. That's a really good point.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Let's call her putin yeah, okay, Okay. So the other
day she I was messaging her before I went in,
and she was telling me something. She sends these text
messages and often she's in the middle of working or
at the end of they're always a bit garbled.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
They're always like a text from mum, right, or she's
dictated them in the car, so that you know, they're
always strange.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Anyway, she said, got to talk to you. This is
a very unusual message to get from your hairdresser. Got
to talk to you about my gas bill, right, And
I'm like, oh, all right, so get a load of this.
So after lockdown, which so must have been twenty twenty two,
she moved. She had a salon on them on a
main strip, and she moved into her one bedroom apartment

(26:17):
that she was no longer living in, and she just
cut back on.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Her staff and everything. And that's just her. It's always
been her and one other person. There's a bedroom there,
and there's just a lovely room with a balcony and whatever.
And it's in a block of probably I.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Don't know, twelve other apartments, and downstairs there's some little
shops cafes. Right, there's three little cafes, I think two
or three. Anyway, she said to me, and I think
she'd mentioned it to me in the past. You know,
people talk about bills and how expensive things are. She goes, oh,
my gas bill, Kate, Oh, it's that expensive, right anyway,

(26:54):
I'd sort of just not thought about it. And then
she said to me, she starts she did a deep dive.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
The gas bill was so huge. Bear in mind, it's
a one bedroom place. She's not living there.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
All she's doing is seeing clients in there, so she's
probably and it's her and one other girls, so she's
probably saying max. Six people a day. Her gas bill
was sometimes nine hundred dollars a month, and on a
couple of a couple of times it was twelve hundred
dollars a month, and she was like.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
This is so crazy. She'd had plumbers out.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
She thought it was her hot water system, so she
got plumbers out to look there like nothing's leaking, nothing's whatever.
And then the last plumber that she had out said
to her she changed gas providers as well, three times,
three times, just always.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Trying to get a better deal. Of trying to get
a better deal.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Right, this has been going on since twenty nineteen, since
before she even moved the salon in there.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Anyway, So she gets the guy out, she.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Go the twelve hundred dollar bill was what broke her, right,
So she gets the plumber out, and the plumber says
to her, sevet Lana.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Pure water heater is electric.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
So she then has the realization.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
That the only thing in her apartment where she's getting
these nine hundred to twelve hundred dollars a month bills,
the only gas thing is her cook top that she
has literally never once used because she doesn't cook in there.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
She goes, you know me, I'm always getting delivery.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
I go, yeah, I know, accident.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
So then she.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Realized that the guy who runs the cafe downstairs has
changed some tubes over.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
No, well, he didn't do it deliberately, but it was
a miss I think it was a miss metering because
she's apartment one and he's shot one, but they're in
the same complex. He's been getting free games since twenty nineteen,

(29:15):
and she's been getting these bills that have been absolutely
doing her.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Head in and he's gonna give her a cash.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Well, no, she hasn't told him. But here's the other
weird thing. She goes to him every morning for breakfast,
and she said, I like the way he cooks his
bacon paying for it. Yeah, And she said, no, wonder he's.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Only just started opening three nights a week, no wonder, right,
So now he's open for dinners as well.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
So she reckons that when she went in there. So
she's been to the ombudsman.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
They've acknowledged there's a problem, something terrible. Through three supplies, through.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
Three plumbers, your English friend is very Why didn't one
of the other plumbers that she's got gas, that she's
not got gas, hot water, that she's electric, like you
think that would be what the first thing they say?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Anyway, she's a literal cooker.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Segment by that.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
It's a literal cooker. It's a literal cooker. So she
goes in there. She reckons he's giving her side eye.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
He's really strange to her. She reckons he knows that
he's cooked her bacon with her gas? Is that not incredible?
And I see her air? What is going to happen?

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Are you going to obviously you've got to get back
paid all this enormous gas bill that you have been
paying for six years.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
And then what's going to happen to him? She said, Oh,
he's not going to be happy.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
This is this is the start of like a gangland
war movie.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Unbelieved starts unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
And she's gone to an ompartsman.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Okay, I mean I have never.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
In my whole life had occasion to go to an ombitsman,
have you yes?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yeah? Well so no, I threatened to and then and
then and then I got a very good deal on
the phone. So's if she's listening, she's gonna get so nervous.
But here we go. I have a very good friend
in my life.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Are you ready? That has not what's her name?

Speaker 4 (31:29):
John? Got to go as opposite as we can.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
I know who it is.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
She has not paid for gas or electricity in her
house for coming up to seven or eight years.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Does she run a cafe under my And.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
She has tried so so hard to pay. She's contacted
everyone you can contact. She's gone to this company, that company,
this connect. It's been going on since she bought the
plakes like seven or eight years ago, and she has
never paid a single bill. Maybe I should take this
bit out of the pod.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I don't know, I know. Yeah. And also you said
she's trying to pay, She's been trying.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
She has been actively trying to She doesn't even get bills. No, no,
she doesn't even get bills like it's not even just
it just doesn't exist, like it's not connected. She's tried
to connect this company center to this company, this company
center to this company. Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Long story short, she's given up and she's.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Enjoying the ride. Trying to pay.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
She's a nurse. She was john trying to I think
she thought for a while, which is fair enough, She's
gonna have to pay it back, and then it's gonna
be they're gonna go hang on a second.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
You know what I've realized. You know, I'm driving my
mother's car.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Does she know, Yeah, the red one out the front.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, the red one. The other day, I went out
the front by the way, and it was early in
the morning. I was going to boot camp.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
She that's brutal when you've had a couple of weeks
off anyway, and I was trying to unlock the car,
and her car clicks, but it doesn't the lights don't flash,
it doesn't tell you that it's even registered, and it
wouldn't open. And this is like a quarters six in
the morning, so it's annoying. It's dark and click click
click click, I'm like, I'll use the key bit. You

(33:09):
know you can put the key. I couldn't get the
key in. I'm like someone tried to break into the
car and broken the lock.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Why weren't the key going? Wasn't my car?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Wasn't my cal.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
But on the note of it not being my car,
So I've got a couple of parking tickets, do you
they've never.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
I'm pretty sure I.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Got a red light camera.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Okay, guess what doesn't.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Like John's electricity and gas bill?

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Is your mum getting there?

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I don't know where it's registered, because you know she moved.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Well, I'm about there is a am I yes? I
mean well, I'm about to lose a lot of money
because the intersection around the corner from our house.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Oh no, it's got a read like No, they've installed
a phone camera. Bye bye, all my money.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
They're gonna get me every day, every.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Day, on every day.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
I can I say this and I'm not lying. I
don't you can think I'm lying. It's very rarely a text.
It's not for me. It's maps and music. It's maps
and music. And if it's only a block away, I'll
still be on the maps figure it out where I'm going.
That's what it's going to be normal.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
I'm not even judging that. I'm not even like Maggie
shouldn't be on that stane driving. But when else are
we going to be on our phone? It's the only
chance we get. We're stuck in traffic jams from the
mass migration to this country. I make Jesus.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, your family, So speaking of world events, yeah, culture,
this is you know, every now and then we get
a story about our husbands where we just go we
are different people, yes, we are different people. The way
we move the world.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
One of us is not like the other one. The
way we react to events that happen to us, yes, often.
But he's okay, So you're I'm going to say, hysterical.
And Cody is dead from the neck down, so oh,
hang on, dead from the from the waistart. He's dead

(35:22):
from the waist out because he's very calm. Nothing seems
to rack.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Cool calm and collective, collected, collected, collective, collective. Yeah, so
we know Cody travels for work quite often. Now the
Buckheads know this, I'm convincing as a second family. That's
just life.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
We move on.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yes, so he's off to Europe.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
This is last week.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Can I just ask a question, Yes, his second family.
Is it the same configuration as it's a woman?

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah, it's a wife, three kids from her previous marriage.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Oh, he's taken them too, but one of them, a
young one, the new one that's his.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Can we just do a quick shout out the people
in this world who take on other people's progeny and
love them as their own are the most extraordinary.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
People in the world. Very hard though stepmothers and step
fathers are just glory. It is hard stuff. Yeah, it's
very hard. That's why we salute.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Many people in my life have that situation and it
is not easy.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
No, it's not easy. It's almost impossible. And so if
people manage to do it, what magnificent people that What.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
A mixed families, What a gift to the kids. And
also have a person.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Some stepmothers are awful, okay you some stepfathers are awful.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
A right, mate, that's a given. That's why we're saluting
the ones. The buck up. It's bad enough you both.
You've started this by talking about mistreated and endangered animals
at my farm donkeys with you?

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Did I recall the starving donkeys from the news.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Cruel, cruel steps from the news, starving donkeys love at
that all day. Cody goes to Europe. He's stopping over
a very success.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
He's stopping at Kaitar Airport. God knows why any of
these places are open.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
I thought everyone was flying via Asian and taking the
long route. Nope, it's all back on.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
And it shouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Because no, because day by day I can't tell. I'm
so as you know, lost interest in the news since
we lost the donkeys, but also because of this on off.
And if I hear one more person say straight.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Of Hormos, let's kick off, anyone, I can tell what's
going on with the ceasefire. The end of the seasfire
is how much petrol costs, which I've never noticed the
price of before, but now that's my Oh, they must
be back on the wars off.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Not to mention the rebate. It's on, it's off, what
it's half now?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Who cares?

Speaker 4 (38:18):
He's near the street of so he gets he's a
guitar airport, which is Middle East, Middle East, very close.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
This is fly he's flying guitar airways.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
He I think they just have to book and the
most convenient fire.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, and often, but.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Guitar stops in Qatar, whereas Emirates stops in Dubai, and
then who stops in Doha?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Anyway, another one? Whatever, I get them confused. He's a airport,
which I think they say Katar Guitar, remember they did
there is something. Don't worry, want to complain.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
I would like to be correct guitar. There we go
with learning.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
That's not correct it again. No, I'm not go on.
I don't care about mispronouncing their name. But you bought
it up in you think two things can be true.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
He gets an emergency notification on his phone to evacuate immediately.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
This is the airport.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Then all of the sirens in the airport go off.
Then everything comes onto the speakers and he's telling the
entire airport to go to the underground level to evacuate
an airport because they're in missiles coming through the sky.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
This is real, this is Cody's life.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Goes down to the we can just go.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
He goes to the airport, has to go huge airport.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
So everyone's going posted on the buck up installs. He
took a screencap. It appears on the phone screen. Even
I don't know how they can do that, but it
appears on your phone like.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
An emergency announcement here by the way, in July.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
On everybody's phone as a rehearsal.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Well, presumably, I think if it's an emergency, they don't
normally give you three weeks notice.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
But what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (40:06):
An emergency alarming system? So yeah, but his was for real,
him turning my phone off and putting it in a
Faraday bag.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
What Yeah?

Speaker 4 (40:18):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Faraday bag is a silver lined or lead lined bag
or box that blocks any EMF signal.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Two or from your phone.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
So if you're ever going to run away and you
don't want to be tracked, you need a Faraday bag
to store your bag.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
In Monday, the twenty seventh of July, our alarms are.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Going national emergency alert. Is what he gets there, he goes.
The first half is in a language we can't read.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
It says security threat, security.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Threat level elevated. Get away from windows.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Everyone must have remained in their homes. He doesn't have
a home. Oh my goodness, Stay away.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
From windows, glass facades, exposed areas until the threet has
passed to preserve public safety.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
So they all get evacuated down to the bottom of
the airport. And then it really happened. So missiles came
through the sky. They were intercepted. Oh my god, a
couple of them landed, a few places, some injuries.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
What at the airport near it? Right?

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:23):
Not even a half an hour later, he sends me
this picture.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Hash brown, scrambled eggs and toast. He's eating. Well, he's
worked up a hunger in the bunker.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Emergency over, well, not really over that bit was over,
goes back to the lounge, has a meal, sends me
a photo.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Half an hour.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Later, the plane takes off.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Oh my god, one hour.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
This is the timeline. Missiles in the sky, evacuating down
to the bottom of the airport. An hour later take off.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
All right, can I a point?

Speaker 4 (42:00):
I wouldn't be anywhere near that plane.

Speaker 7 (42:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
You can't stay there eat or have eaten with missiles. Okay,
I'm going to make an observation. They've really got the
evacuation process down packed, which is great. He could get
out of there, then back up, then to scrambled eggs
and hash brown in half an hour.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Absolute cat.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Cody's smarter than me.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
He said this.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
They have to because if they lose their airport industry. Yeah,
they're cooked, They're done. Couldn't It's like if they lose
that business channel of being.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Up anywhere, well, that's why someone's trying to bomb.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
If I'm being evacuated at an airport from an incoming missile,
a harsh brown and scrambled eggs, I'm not going to
be anywhere near me.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I can't rule out that I would work up a
hunger myself. But what's the point of not eating?

Speaker 4 (42:57):
Yeah? I mean true?

Speaker 2 (43:00):
So now later he's there, Now he's safe, safe in Europe.
Did he fly back? Not? He's still there, so he's
not flying back that same route.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Probably, Yeah, I'm assuming you return flight.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Oh that's madness.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
I hope he's coming back.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
That's insanit. Time is not a bad of bed to bear,
to bear, to be, to be bear, this is our life.
Oh no, speaking of my own evacuation, but as we know,
mine will be from a mountaintop.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Do you feel because sometimes I'm going to a gig
and I really don't want to do the gig. Sometimes
we say yes to gigs for money, and then when
you're on the way to the gig, you know you're
going to bomb.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
Because it's not all the time you got.

Speaker 5 (43:44):
This is.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
I don't feel right, it's against me, it's daylight, it's
an accounting firm.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
There's going to be a hings night there, there's going to.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
Be a hands night. All yeah, this is and you've
just got to prepare for a bomb. Okay, Sometimes you
do think is a comic. I would love if people
brought back the bomb threat. Oh yes, as a teenager. Yes,
get someone to call the venue es bomb threats.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
And I had a fantasy about someone doing that at
my school before my maths exam.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
I was just so, I mean, I know there's real
bomb threats happening with my husband, but yes, sometimes I
want a fake one. Do you think sometimes sometimes you
have moments of if something happens in this troop is canceled,
I'm not going to be devastating.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
Yes, yes, one hundred percent. Everyone has that.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
But we thought it's about your mindset, about every mountain.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Everything's mindset. Yes, I'm saying climbing a mountain. I don't
think his mindset.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
I think that's body set, and my body is set
to not achieve. I think I think I'm in trouble.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
Well, we've been at this pod for two years or so,
I would say that you have really captured the hearts
and minds of the Buckheads. And we mean this with love.
People are in your corner. Okay, people are reacting. We
are getting so many dms. People are on board this trip. Okay,
you know what your final.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
And I'm sort of like, you know, sort of green boots,
you know what I'm like.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
When those Olympics were on Winter Olympics and there was
a guy called Eddie the Eagle.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
He was a pom. He was the most munted skier
aerial ski you've ever seen. He couldn't do it, and the.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Whole world got behind Eddie the Eagle because it was
like a charity.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
Oh it was charity.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
No no, And I know that people are I really
you can file me under that. You know how people say,
if I can do this, anyone can. Literally I am
the person in the first part of that sentence. You
really are if I can do it, anyone can.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
But here's the thing. Increasingly, I don't think maybe I can.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
Do you can. I don't know. I don't think I
do as much as you want to do.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
No, that's not possible. Question for you.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
What happens if you're if.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
You actually all right? So good question.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
So at the start I would have asked, I was
trying to that's we discussed this, and he says, if
it's too much, we'll just go back to the nearest village.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Now, I haven't drilled deep on any of this. I
don't know what village. He hasn't been there before, So
what village is he talking about? Is there a village?
Is there the prospect of going back to something? And
then if I do go back, but how far away
is that?

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Well, that's right, when you exactly and when you realize
that it's impossible for you, I'm most likely to have
more behind me than.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
In front of me, which means.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
Which means going back will be as arduous as what
I've already done.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
I'm going to say this to you, okay. I feel
you will surprise yourself once you are there. The adrenaline
the moment will hit you. Sorry to bring up the
television show I did, but it's coming up again for
the second time, the Jungle. I am still in shock
of what comes over you when you're there, when you're
standing there in the moment, knowing these people who are

(47:26):
being filmed. I was being filmed.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
You know that we're with You're well, give you a
different sort of adrenaline, you think so oh you know it? Dance.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
You know how people can injure themselves on stage or
you know, doing something in the public eye and they
don't even feel the pain till afterwards.

Speaker 4 (47:43):
Kahana is reached out. Buckhead, buckhead, Kahana, Kate, are you
ready for this one? Rhino will alert for Nepal rhino.
I have a coworker who's from Nepal. He told me
about the rhinos. I returned fire by telling about our
drop bears. You being a bit funny there, Yeah, but

(48:03):
it seems the rhinos story is real. This is another
way to lose your life, Yahnah, you're supposed to support
He me have some audio.

Speaker 6 (48:15):
Apparently Nepal is dealing with a rhino problem. Now, don't
get me wrong. They did something good. They were able
to up the number of rhinos in their area from
one hundred to seven hundred due to the conservation, which
is awesome, until they ran out of food due to
an invasive plant. And now you have hundreds of rhinos
walking through a city looking for food and the government

(48:37):
has no idea what to do about it. It's actually
so normal that they've introduced a rhino victim fund, which
is basically, if you get injured by a rhino, they
pay you money.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
You can make some cash. Some nipoies man make some cash.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
So in what part of Nepal, news to me, news
to everyone listening that now the streets allitted with rhino,
most dangerous animal in the world.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Most people die from rhinos. No, most people die from horses.

Speaker 4 (49:09):
Yeah, would assume that, but I think it was. Yes,
the amount of people that ride horses on the weekend,
you assume that. I don't think I've ever ridden a horse.
I think we've spoken about that on this pod cut that.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
You know what I realized the other week when you
were telling us about we were talking about the snow.
Remember you said I've never been to the snow. It
didn't surprise any of us, and then you told us.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Yes, what I meant by.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
I've never got like been on the snow. I was
there at the snow troops. I did think the same
thing when I was driving home. I was there getting
drunk with the nov event. I didn't ski, I didn't
do the snow. That's what I meant.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
I've never been on a horse.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
Why would I have been on a horse.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
It's quite hard.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
I think it's you have to go out of your
way to get on a horse.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
It's true, but it's just one of life's things, like
a square all such.

Speaker 5 (50:01):
Yes, I don't like them, okay, okay, wow, all right,
they don't like me.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
No, not, they don't like me. They know that I
don't know what I'm doing, and so nothing works the
way I think.

Speaker 4 (50:23):
I'm a bit I find horses nerve wracking and confronting
because apparently they can see into your soul and they
can read you, and they know when people are sad,
and they just all that's what they're using therapy.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
I told you I did the equine therapy. I've told
you that.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
Because you'll cut it. Okay. I've also heard from Buckhead
you like them, well, okay, too big. I can't control them.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
You don't know what they're going to do.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
That's why she's with a short short control him.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
And always sad because she's always had really tall boy.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
And now it's a big note tall men and horses.
Buckhead Todd has reached out. It might be good news
for people or you. I don't know. I don't know
if you think this is good news or not.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Okay, you're reading about Nepal again every time you say it.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
Now, I would say it's almost like it.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
But the way you're putting it, because it's very professional,
it's very text Kate.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
I know you were sick of the advice, but this
might be a pearl of wisdom.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Some friends did base camp about ten years ago and
they were told to pick up casual smoking to prepare
for their lungs, to prepare their lungs for the lack
of oxygen at altitude. I have not climbed it, nor
planning to, but having shut I've kept up my training
on the off chance if I ever find myself halfway up. Ever,

(51:44):
Todd's a funny man, and thanks for the DMR. I
love take up smoking.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
I hope there's someone nice on our so you can
have a dart with, have a durry, imagine that a
fag with on the hills. Well, I've just taken it up,
I'll say.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
I mean, that does makes sense to you.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
I don't know, do you think it would? None of
it makes sense.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
I actually now am in an algorithm where I'm getting
tips for climbing, and apparently, when you're walking down a
really street steep descent, uh huh, you put your thumb
and little finger together like this and hold your three fingers.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Out like someone bought the store. Soone, she's like a rain.
I've got somewhere to be. You hold your fingers and
it helps you with your descent.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Oh okay, there must be yeah, yeah right, okay, yeah,
So my question for you is this. Yeah, let's say,
out of zero to ten, ten is the most amazing
climber in the world, the most prepared, ready to go
climber that has ever existed. Yes, in these parts. Zero
is where we were, Yeah when we started this chart
six months ago.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
What number are we at, Kate right now?

Speaker 2 (52:55):
Two? Come on, yeah too, save.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
I would say at least five just by looking at you,
hearing you.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
No, I would like to think that. But something's happened
to me. What I seem to be getting weaker.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
You're bigger than your mind.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Maybe A three.

Speaker 4 (53:16):
We're going for a walk on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Yeah, we're going through walk.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Okay, so we're having girls weekend away. Okay, four of
us we're leaving after this, well this afternoon. There's been
a flurry of messages about.

Speaker 2 (53:30):

Speaker 4 (53:34):
You know, we're all going to watch. Good question.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
Okay, so last time it was perfectly watched.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
You watched, that's right, and just like that, that's right.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
You need to have a jaunty little kerchief tied around,
and you need a perky ponytail.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
It's very rom com and that's what you wear when
you're dusting things up. And you're also rom com.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Need a work mate that's sassy and hey, the big
night before there always hung over and they just always
tell you brutal truths about life.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
And I've got enough Jamaican blood in me to be
just the right amount of sass and wisdom, wisdom and
sas together.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
And I'm going to be saying things like I don't know, girl,
don't do that. But AnyWho, back to the.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Ten, she's going to be up on the ladder and oh,
you know what's going to happen A really well once
would have been a tall man, but to cater for
your current taste, short man, very handsome is going to
come in and he's going to buy the most expensive
set of China wear in your store.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Leading you to assume that he's married. And it's free
his family home. We're going to find out. And he
saves you on the ladder. You topple backwards and he
catches you in.

Speaker 4 (56:03):
He saves you in every where a woman could be saved,
and you get all flasted.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
You look over and your sassy best friend is there
going I don't like the way he touched you.

Speaker 4 (56:16):
The sounds like a first seller. Is it too late
to put this in your so happy?

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Can you tell him soable not to return.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
To the topic of a my book or be I've
never seen you turn away from me for so long.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Well, we're moving on there anyway, What were you going
to tell me?

Speaker 4 (56:38):
Tell me?

Speaker 5 (56:39):
Was it?

Speaker 4 (56:39):
I just wanted to check in with you.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Believe I feel a lot of pressure.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
You know what else is happening with you missing because
you're just a bit.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
Freaked down at the moment.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
You're mentally sharper. You have never replied to text quicker.
You know when buckups are being recorded, you know what
things you are?

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Okay, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (57:02):
When we were leaving for BALLEI Peter has got this
thing where every time he travels and you go through
duty free.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
We have to look at sunglasses.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
I do co owns, but I get it.

Speaker 2 (57:14):
But literally, but in those duty free stores, they don't change.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
The stock for years cheaper anymore.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
No, they're not cheaper. They've been so fingered they're just
like to be hard to even see through them, the
greasers and fingers and noises shoved.

Speaker 3 (57:30):
Anyway, talk about and also because I don't wear sunglasses
now because of my sun gazing, I've lost interest in
looking at sunglasses, and so I'm always like, oh, we've
got to look at We've got to look at sunglasses.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
So we always shuffle through.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
But now there's a JB High Fi counter there, and
I met the loveliest guy, young guy maybe mid twenties
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
He was so helpful.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
He was a perfect amount of nerd and perfect amount
of like normy, so that we really got it on
over a cable that I needed. He was so gorgeous anyway,
so I needed to charge it for my phone. Blah
blah blah. Anyway, Peter looks at sunglasses. Then he gets
huffy because he can't find any that he likes, and

(58:19):
he can tell I've lost ines. We go through, we
buy him a new fragrance. Now that he's a teacher,
he's got to smell nice. Oh, we always like we
always like.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Bulgari.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
I always love a Bulgary for me, and I think
they're beautiful. And there are bits more subtle than what's
in vogue now.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
Anyway, she dited her eyes at me when she said that,
you know, hi, I'm subtle one.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
I didn't say anything to you and said that was no.
I'm trying to think of what you know. I think
you actually do smell subtle.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Yeah, I'm on an ovous Broyer.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
Anyway, So we go through, we go all the way through.
All of this takes ages. We've gone through customs, We've
gone through immigration.

Speaker 3 (59:03):
With blah blah blah and sunglasses, the JB High five,
the cologne, the whatever.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
We're just let's desperate, let's get this show on the road.
And then we go.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
I look up my phone to check something and I
don't have my phone. I don't have my phone, and
I'm like, oh, this is a mistake. My bag's got
lots of compartments. I'm constantly I'm constantly fossicking. I'm fossic,
fossic FOSSi literally, I don't have my phone. Peter goes,
I'll ring it. I go there's no point, it's always

(59:34):
turned off. We go it's it could only be in
one of seven places. Run So we're mentally going back.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Is it at the cologne counter?

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (59:44):
I also stopped and tried some new Chanelle thing. Is
it at JB? So we retrace our steps.

Speaker 3 (59:51):
He goes, oh, go to the perfume. You go to
the guy at JB. I go to the lovely nerdling
or at JB. I tell him what's happened. He goes,
I'm going to ring it for you. I go, there's
no point it's turned off. He goes, No, if whoever's
got it, the screen will light up and they'll know
they'll be able.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
To answer it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
You're a genius.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Yeah, so even if my phone's like turned on silence,
oh silent, sorry, yeah, sorry anyway, So I go, oh,
that's so brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:00:20):
And then he goes, someone will have handed it into
border security. I'm like, I can't go back to border security.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Guess where it was. Peter rang it and a guy
called Wayne it. He had my phone from border security
around the corner. As we had to go back all
the way.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
You remember how many times a day this happens.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
And then I It was like a miracle. It was
just so good.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
And then you know, coming back, we lost our luggage
trying to get into the wrong car. I don't have
mental acurity.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
You knew what day, you knew the time that we
were recording today, and that just blew my mind. That
blew my mind.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Okay, so that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Maybe I'm I've gotten better with abstract concepts, but physical
things I've gotten words like climbing mountains.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
The text from.

Speaker 4 (01:01:16):
We're already here glasses on because I'm admitting how bad
my eyesight is. And I told you that not only
am my contemplating black earrings?

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
Are you still?

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
I thought you'd roll that out.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
The new thing I'm contemplating is what your husband has
a chain around my neck with the glasses on it?

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Okay, So the other day I thought about, So my
husband's got a big, thick gold chain.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
I want to do it. So it's thick, and sometimes
I just want to Okay, So, and now I want
to take him to the next level, which I was
watching Love Islands.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
A monocle, no two chains.

Speaker 3 (01:01:54):
Wow, So he's got a big thick one, and now
I want him to have a thin on top of
the one. Yeah, but what color would you go?

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
I think you have. If it's a glasses chain, you
have to go gold.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Glasses changed, I think for glasses glass.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
Listening to me, I said, I thought, you mean.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
He doesn't have putting.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Glasses on a chain.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
No, he's got a chain.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
Oh No, I as a joke saying I'm going to
get glasses put on a chain.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
I think that's pretty cool if you get a big
thick gold.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Because the amount of I'm just starting to admit.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
But you know what it is. It's gangster granny.

Speaker 7 (01:02:31):
Yah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):

nine am. Can see much better. Sun's out here, but
more rain on way by a look of sky over
town cold Win. See they have put another two players
drop that Alan kid. Thank god. Margie came up yesterday afternoon.
She drove up and down to Adelaide and even around
in the city. Greg's not allowed to drive for six
months until doctor signs off at a year's okay. He

(01:03:03):
wanted chocolate and lollies, but she won't buy them for him.
Not happy. Apparently Cathine and Max's son are in town,

get a good blood sugar. I think it's happened, sugar.

She's really into football, by the way. Yeah, she knows
about players being swapped in.
