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. It will

(00:26):
cut you off at the knees then gift.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You a pair of easies.

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

Speaker 2 (00:43):
There she is, But what commitment? So far down there
a burbie?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yet burbies are hard, jumped back up?

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Burbies are hard.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I've never forgotten, you know about, never forgot on something.
I heard someone say to a pete, what's the quickest
way to make someone vomit? And they said to make
them do burpies.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Do you know what my dream was? To exercise to
the point of throwing up?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Do you remember when The Biggest Loser was on and
they showed that they just did this Netflix.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Specials that's a great watch.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Well, I was like, I've never even been close.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
To that same. I don't exert much.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
No, but I think I.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Know. But my fantasy was not to do the work
that leads to that. Like so many people, Hello, welcome
to the backup.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Oh my god, is that Nate Valva.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh my god, I'm going to make you vomit this episode. Laugh,
You're gonna laugh so high.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
We forgot to give her money back guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Which is what it's been so many weeks.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
All right, First, we cannot proceed without introducing the albatross
around the neck of the otherwise high.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Flying I reckon you'd be like, I love burpies.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes, Sah would be like, I've done, I can do
you twenty burpies.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
You love burpies.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
That's how funny. It's Sash of French burpies. Very interesting.
I was reading a thing about hormones, How do you
make a hormone? And it was about testosterone, And it
said the most interesting thing, And I was telling.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Sash about this run Go the Round kids.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
The most interesting thing I thought about testosterone was not
that it gives you necessarily which it does, give you
a capacity for more strength and more like endurance, but
that it gives you a desire. It gives you a
love of effort. So you know when you watch a

(03:01):
bunch of really yeah, you know, but her you watch
in this one, Yeah, you watch a bunch of men
and then.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
In a good way, as in your attitude and your
efforts and your ethic.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
That's why we were talking about it, right.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, you could have said that at the start.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
That's why we were talking about sorry to her friends.
They didn't want to volunteer in on her behalf. However,
So the thing about it is, which is a mark
difference between men and women, that men love the effort
of exertions, like I'll often watch them, like my husband
will cycle for three hours and come home, idiot drenched

(03:41):
in sweat, and I like to lick his forehead to
see how salty.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Okay, let's stopped the podcast, not only now but forever, douse.
You know who else does that? My dog licks Cody
salty legs and we laugh at giggle, and then we
make it stop quite quickly.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
That always says to me, watch out, there's some.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Block there, and how do you get to it?

Speaker 4 (04:01):
I just look at it, my tingue.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You just get in there. Yeah, I just when I
take it off, I go.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I know how far his ride was, how salty was Anyway,
I said, tossage testosterone gives you a love of effort,
effort that I know some women have it. There will
be some triathlant.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
We don't dwell with the exceptions here.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's like the relief of a broad brush.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
We are all about broad Women can't drive. Men like effort.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
As you know, I wouldn't have said women can't drive.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
I got a new quicker, quicker.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
So I said this sage, this thing about testosterone that
I just watched his scientists talking about. And she said
I've got the oh yeah, And I said, love of effort.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
She said, how do you take your testosterone cream?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Oh? Because she's a tiny little but because she loves
the efforts she gets ribs and rubs and rubs.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
She does it while doing rubs and rubs. And that's
weird to me as someone that loves taking things all
sorts of medications. I don't trust a cream. I can
never feel like it's doing you know what. Very interesting.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Apparently you should never use any of these creams if
you live in a house with children.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh okay, well okay, yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
But you wouldn't think of it necessary.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I don't want a cream. I want a needle, or
I want to up my nose, get it in there.
You know.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Ash Williams mate so his dad's are hormones specialist.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
He studied at Oxford.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Not only hormones, but indo crem disrupting chemicals, of which
he said, China is making fifty new ones every month,
like they can't possibly keep abreast of all the chemicals
that are around in the environment and the effect that
they have. And you know that fertility is plummeting. Blah
blah blah. What a buck way, he seed, Well, here's

(06:02):
the interesting bit. That's Look how bright eyed and bushy talent?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Old. Yeah, the bush she's got your facial hair from
the cream, and now she's got a cock.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
We all know it's a man's world.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Generalizations just broad statements.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Anyway, He said that every woman over thirty five and
every man over thirty five should be on supplemental bioidentical hormone.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Oh so that's me too. Yeah, all right, I'm getting
on the testosterone cream. He was so low on it.
What are you talking about speaking of generalizations about women
in cars? Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
I do have a generalization. Something I have noticed. Our
new place is mire, thirty to forty meters away from
a pilates studio. Oh yeah, quite a large one. Yep.
This is what I have noticed about you women.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
I love an observation.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
You bloody love sitting in your car. Oh, you just
love sitting in the car. I love sitting in the
I love sitting. But now I know in bot hello generalizations.
I go out in the front or I'm walking the dog,
there is car after car with a woman in fit,
gear strong.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
On her fine free class.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I can't figure it out. I think sometimes it's post
sometimes when I get but they're everywhere.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, okay, that's interesting sometimes when I get home, and
particularly if I've got the cars full of shopping, which
it often is because six slash seven people live in
our house.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Who's the slash seven Lewis's girlfriends?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, yep, anyway, there's there's often, you know, extras. I
sit and I'll look at my phone in the car,
just to prolong. But it's now I've realized it's just
a racket because it just prolongs the inevitable.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
But it's a good you can delay.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
No, I don't like that flag of any I'm actually
I know we talk about it, but I'm really down
on the how the phone steals your energy.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's not even the time, which.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Is one thing. Whatever, blah blah, blah, I guess what.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
My daughter came in the other day. Yeah, plot twist, Yes,
I love what.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
And she said to me, guess what, mum. By the
time I die, Ali spent thirty three years on my phone.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, okay, that's so many tiktoks. I'm so zsed.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I loved it for her because you could tell she
was shocked.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
It was like the day.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
The equivalent that we had was the day when she
somehow I don't know how it worked out how much
money she'd spent on Uber eats. Oh yeah, and she's
never really ordered Uber eats since a lot.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Of people have done that. I know a few people
who have had the Uber eats moment. Never tell us
that of going, oh my god, it No, we're pretty plific.
I can't say that prolific. Thank you on the reats. Yeah,
I know it's not too bad, is it?

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Just do the maths. The maths will tell you how
bad it actually getting. Can I say, as the kids
would say, do.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
The math However, I don't like people that complain about
delivery fees and all that. Who if I want to
be convenienced, I want to I want someone else to
be paid for it. Okay, my issue that does make
me a streaming raging left delivery. No.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
No, of course you want people to be paid properly
in this country, which is why you should be anti
mass immigration. Yeah, got him, bad, bad, bad, bad bad
bad about.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
We've got a message.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Because that's a massive Ponzi escape.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
But I haven't finished. Sorry, So my thing is I
can't remember thrill. You need some more to toss? Do
you have more effort in his story?

Speaker 4 (09:54):
I love the effort I talking about.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
The block of the hair drug. A friend of mine
went on a date with a guy and then they
hooked up afterwards, and then he said to her that
he couldn't perform in that way and didn't want to
tell her why, and then she was like spinning out.
But then they ended up having a few more dates,
and then he ended up telling her was because of
the meds he was on for just to be not bold.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Does it do it to you?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
It did for a little bit at the start, But
I'm stuck withe you love the airface because I'm a man, and.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
A terrible side effect that's like prozac and those early serotonin.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Uptaking what they called Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
They just did the same thing.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
And one of the realizations they came to about those drugs,
part of why they weren't having the effect on mental
health that they we were promised they would have, was
that when people lose their libido, they get really depressed.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Just by the way particular it's back, Come on back,
I just being an idiot. I swear I get fees,
John messaged. I find myself, he says, insanely embarrassed by
walking into a supermarket with a paper bag I'd bought
from home. Why should I be embarrassed? Yes, I'm doing

(11:17):
the right thing for the environment. He's not wrong. Do
you know why you feel like a loser?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Can I just say this, John big nerd, can we
drop the pretense that us paying twenty five cents for
the bags is for the environment, So don't just to
us with that is he said, I'm doing it, But
he used that to justify gone back. What the reason
that you're carrying a bag into a stupermarket is to
stop them basically pulling out a gun and robbing you

(11:45):
every time you want a receptacle to put that you
bought from them into, John, You're right to be trying
out like like old school greater is.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
That you caring about the environment? I should be in school.
He's embarrassed by the effort. That's what he's embarrassed. But
you know what, he might need a bit of a
bit of cream, or the other way. The other way.
He's embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
He doesn't love the effort.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Take some of my pills, John, take your input itself,
and you take some of Sasha's cream. She's carrying bags
filled with weight.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Oh that's a lovely cap, Sash. Is that where you
played golf in Sechilia? Oh that's a beautiful hat.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Swung it around. You could fit that.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
New carry on, could you?

Speaker 5 (12:38):
So?

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Last week he missed last week? Kate's still ropable that
Sash didn't get.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Her a bable. No, no, I don't even want a present,
but the principle that she didn't bring a present for
her son and she went sorry and he had to
carry on as.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Though, Wow, you didn't get your son anything, but you
got yourself a hearttra Do you know that woman that
heldone was all this effort?

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Do you remember that woman?

Speaker 4 (13:04):
She was held hostage in Iran?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I think, oh yes.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
And while she was in being held hostage, you remember
her husband had an affair, and you remember this amazing story.
I hope it was a run. It might have been
another Aye country anyway, but name on Iraq, Okay, anywhere anyway.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Well done.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
So this entry after she was held hostage, which was
I think for like three years, maybe over three years,
a lot of it in solitary confinement. Imagine how keen
you would have been to get out of that country.
Even she brought presents home. That's all I'm saying. Goodbye,

(13:47):
Even she brought presence home. Speaking of the environment, some
dates these are the best in the world.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
What of the heavy sigh?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I know, what is it?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
This happens to.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
This happens to us, raging lefties?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
What's happened?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Sometimes sometimes Kate, I ask myself is the environment worth this?
Is it worth the fight?

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (14:16):
What's the question? Our hot water system? Our hot water
system is solar.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Oh yes, yes it is not God it is.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's fully working. It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
But how is it not amazing?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
You know, when you need your shower? Have you google
like fight more? I've looked into it. Some other people
is it cat? They've swapped back. Some people have swapped
hang on to electric.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
Stolar won't take you to one hundred.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I don't know what it's doing. But since we moved
into our new place, which I now am paying a
mortgage for, and.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Are now all right until they get you right, TAXI,
the shower to be that a little bit hotter.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
And it never gets there.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I know nothing's worse, Okay, write a letter, okay, but
we know there are worse things.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
How does get sound all right?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
We need to because you know I told you already.
When I moved into this place, I realized my entire
adult life, I have been living in freezing places and
now it's cozy. And now it's cozy except for the shower,
and no, you cannot be what come on.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Nothing's worse then a little bit off in the shower.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
The water pressure or water pressure is good. Water pressure
is good water pressure. Can I tell you how I
finish a shower off? I'm not in that way. I
take those tablets.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Look, you're really determined to make eye What else does this?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
For the last like ten to fifteen seconds of my shower?
I make it school cruciatingly hot. I don't know why.
It's the finale. Yeah, yeah, it's John Farnham CONCID. It's
your voice. Yeah, I'm going out being like when you
know the fireworks are unding. Yeah, I do that last
five seconds of like oh.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, almost donebearable love and you get out pink like
a baby.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Don't do it, and I'll tell you something else.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I don't do it.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
No, that's not I thought the.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Sun was strong, Kate, Well, the sun is strong. Why
is my water system?

Speaker 4 (16:40):
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I don't know enough about solar. And you would think,
because I'm a cooker that I've got right bang up
into solar.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
This is going to shock you.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
But the reason I haven't is my husband, an engineer,
has always said it doesn't work as well as it
should a because of the batteries, which I think they've
improved now, and also something else where I zoned out
and I think fell asleep.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
But so he's always he's sort of been onto it
that it's it's limited.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
But I don't understand how it can't get up to
one hundred.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
How entire roof is covered in tol panels, the entire thing,
and the roof is hot apparently.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Once it leaves.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Here's a question when it heats up and then goes
into the tank.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Is there a tank.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
It must be held in a tank. It's not coming
straight off the roof.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
It's a very good question. Does it mean seen a
tank anywhere? There's no tank? We're going to your water tank?
Where's that? I don't know. Down the side of the house. Nah,
it's not there, isn't it. No, we don't have to
say a side of the house, a townhouse.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Where do you think the water comes from?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Well, maybe just hangs out in the pipes. You know what,
we should google this because this is very boring.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Interesting that what we don't know as a very good point.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
This will shock you. I was so angry at my
show hour the other morning. I spoke to a random
man about it at the cafe waiting for our coffees,
and he kicked off about solo. Is this is how
you knew? It's kicked off?

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Oh our buckwits, buckheads, buckeries hate. I will write to
us until I spoke to a stranger, say, how did you.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Strike up the conversation?

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, the cafe owner, very lovely man, came and introduced
himself to us when we moved in.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Now you've got the pressure that you can't go to another.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, it's good coffee it's really good coffee, but there
is only one cafe I go to call him out
on They opened at eight get up, Oh yeah, of
our own products.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Where do you think you are?

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Italy God?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean I get up at seven thirty. But still
sometimes I'm like bang bang bang.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
And when I go to one of those overpriced grocery stores,
you know, similar to where I returned the pineapple.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Uh huh, that don't open till eight o'clock.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
The Pineapple one opens early, but as you know, I can't.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
You'll love this one. This one actually made me laugh
out loud, and I took a photo of it. I
needed a new phone screen the other day. I smashed
my phone screen as per you have a protector. I
smashed the protector protector, and then I went down to
like one of those phone stores just to get it cut,
to get a new one.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Booth kosk.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
No, it was on a street one, just one of
those tiny little ones. It's always make a pone or something.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
That once upon a time would have been a shoe
repeat opening time eleven.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Nokay, you know what that is.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
It's written on the side.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
You know what that is. That's a student who's hoping
to get three hours sleep after the uber eats overnight.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's an every day. That's a not a written on
a piece of paper opening that was like on a
proper door thing saying opening hours eleven thirty.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
That's strange.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
There's a story drug front, drug front, like the like
the bean bags door that's also in my that's the
front come front bean Bags.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Why are you telling me about your solar.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Because we spoke about John.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Embarrassing, But why was your solar embarrassing?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Well, it's not. We went from the environment, saving the
environment that which you're not doing, which I'm not doing.
And the second thing, this is not any of our topics,
but I have to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Apparently chat GPT takes so much energy, energy, and water.
There's not going to be enough that in a year
it will use the amount of New York and some
other major city combined per day. Why does it because
it needs hard drives to run, and the hard drives
are physical factories that are becoming water to cool down.

(20:43):
The factories, Oh where are the facts? They're in America,
and they're so big and bright that people that live
near them now say that there's a glow constantly sy not.
But here's the thing, buckheads. In the last couple of weeks,
I've start using GPT, and it's how you use I've
paid for it.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Oh you've got the paid for Show me how to
get the cake?

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Can I tell you what I did the other day.
I believe I'm going to do this because it's going
to take my job. Chat GPT did you can talk
like me? I said to it. I took a photo
of our new kitchen, and I said, can you just
show me what the coupverage looked like?

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Blue?

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Show me what the thing would look like with the
mid century started. I want brown. This it just doesn't
Why is that going to take your job?

Speaker 3 (21:28):
You're not?

Speaker 2 (21:29):
No, no, no, no, that's chat GPT. Oh my god,
let's chat GPT.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Show me OG, show me og the original shot, because
I can't marvel at what chat GPT has done on this.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I see original. Oh and then show me era.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Well we put these in the show notes just to
show you what it did to my kitchen. But here's
I went, Oh my god, it's so true. Someone said
that creative people might be okay with chat GPT because
chat GPT cannot create new ideas. It can only give
you a regurgitation of what already exists.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, but have you seen flicks lately?

Speaker 2 (22:12):
But that's what the whole world is about. My stand up. Oh,
like I reckon, they can't do comedy. Can't do comedy?
I did. I asked it to do it, said, I said,
write a comedy bit in the style of Nathan Valvo's
stand up. And it said something about gluten free water
at the Supermark not wrong.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Hey, put something in?

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Now?

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Would you let me ask him something? Put in? Things
about the buck up? I'll ask you, putting me a
back and forth of the buck up.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
No, no, put it? Tell it.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Make it a simple thing like things, something that shouldn't
be embarrassing but is in a comedy.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Okay, And I'll tell you one. Okay, I please. And
I also weirdly am polite to it because I'm scared
one day it's going to take over.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Please matter with It's like any It's like anyone that's
ultimately going to be your overlord. It doesn't matter whether
you're polite or rude. Either way, you're going to cop it.
Those robots are going to be oh what such she's
about to sneeze. Oh, bless you. Oh that's so adorable

(23:19):
like a pussy cat. Aho, you'll big green and your
big white tea.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I think my job safe. Oh has it done it? GPT?

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Let's clap it in clap in our overlord.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
So you asked her, Hey, chut GPT. What's something that
shouldn't be embarrassing?

Speaker 5 (23:34):
That is?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
And make it funny? Oh great, yep. Something that can
feel deeply embarrassing but shouldn't is crying in public. People
often see tears as a loss of control or a
sign of weakness, so when it happens on a train,
at work or in front of strangers, shame floods in
almost immediately, but crying come off.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
But you said make it funny, so say again in truth, has.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Nothing undignant about it. It's a completely human response.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
I said, make it funny, okay, And how can you
use do that again?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
But make it funnier? Yes? Yeah, okay?

Speaker 4 (24:12):
And does it do it instantly?

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I've paid for it. It should yeah, okay. Something that
feels mortifying but shouldn't crying in public?

Speaker 4 (24:21):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
However, remember here, it's trying to get funny. Pete, I
can do it like it said like like full on
movie trailer at a cafe while holding a muffin?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
What is that embarrassing?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
I don't know, but it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Well, no, it doesn't say that doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
You know the scene. You're just trying to have a
quiet moment. Maybe your playlist portrays you with a sad song,
and suddenly you're the main character in an indie film.
This is GPT comedy. Everyone's pretending not to look, but you.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Can feel the oh no, oh no, okay, you know
things that are embarrassing. That that is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed
for it, like it's a person.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Well for now we're safe.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Okay, we're safe.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I'll tell you something I discovered when I was in
Italy on my own, my SoLIT tree.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
How's the book? Yeah? Not bad? Great, not bad. I
don't mean that. You always feel like I'm asking that. No, No,
you are.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
You know you are, David.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
You're embarrassing not crying in public? You know the scene
either way? You know, I'm going to Japan. I can't
keep up.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
No, I know that's ridiculous, actually, but what can I
I'm persecuted because I'm privileged. What can I do anyway.
So when I was in Italy in my eight Days
of Solitude Gabrielle Garcia Marquees book that was one hundred

(26:01):
years of solitude, mine felt like that. It was eight
days on an Olive Grove estate, just me and some tourists,
but the tourists would blow through for a night or two.
I was there for eleven nights, a long time. It
was too long, and once not long enough, not long
enough for me to totally get used to it. I

(26:23):
had to endure something where I'd end up like Tom Hanks.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
On the on the island, but not suspect good movie.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yes, yes, good movie. Anyway, I had this experience of breakfast.
So this place did a beautiful breakfast every morning, and
in the I'd go sit in the courtyard.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Why does breakfast taste so much better on a holiday.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well, also, I normally don't need breakfast because I do
my prolonged fast.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Oh that just reminded me of what what's his name?

Speaker 3 (26:56):
He died in Greece?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Oh my god, Oh I love him. Went for a
walk and yeah, where was I Italy?

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Oh yeah, so one hundred years of solitude mate, a
beautiful breakfast every morning but as you know, I would
go in there and not talk to anyone except one
of the only friends that I made in the eleven
days that I was there was the courtyard cat.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
What a sentence, Oh the courtyard and the cat's name Luna,
good name.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
There were three cats. I only learned this the little ones,
because the little one was so naughty and beautiful.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
And one day a cry went up in the courtyard,
a child's voice.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
The cat just stole my crescent. Americans are from the table,
and I just went that cat is great. We love
the cart anyway. What there was a wasp infestation. All
the figs spring, all the figs, all the fruit. They
had a persimon tree that was so fecined and bursting

(28:09):
with fruit. It was so glorious that even you hasn't
had an erection since he started taking that hair to
it would have felt a stirring in your loins, in
your dead and desiccated lines, because the tree.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Was just frak Taylor swist news about her husband to.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Be terrible for her. That's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for her songs.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
What's happened?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't know. She used to be quiet and some
of the best pop songs ever. Well that's over blank space.
You don't need to tell us. It's a great song.
And now she's singing a song about my husband.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Big record anyway, and taking off his ex girlfriend like
cats everyone anyway, So like a wasp. Okay, here's a
trivia question for you and the buckwheats. Guess what the
word for wasp is in Italian? Now I would say

(29:14):
to them when I would talk to them when I
would order my.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Is it a food name? So it's confusing.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
My cappuccino in fact con metal lte.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Only half milk, which of course.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Comet a beautiful, very big and you never get a.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Last some people do and they look like a milkshire. No,
that's not right, that's not really different.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
No, because they don't me anyway, but cappuccino studying so
and when I ordered it, and the woman said to me, you,
why don't you sit inside? The arpi are really bad
outside the bees And I said, they're not arpi. It's
they're not arpies, They're they're wasps. And she said, oh
yeah that they all were calling them RPPs bees as

(30:03):
in a pury apurist.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Megan Mark, how he got there was actually impressive.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Guess what the word for wasp?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I don't know it. This spar oh bestar, that makes sense.
People would have been screaming that at their headphones. If
they knew it, they would have known. People know, Hey,
the buckheads are smart.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
We're smart.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Tell me anything. Love a bee all for the bee?
Bees could not could not, I could not be but
they be but a wasp.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Aside from laying their eggs in figs, mate what they are?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Anyway?

Speaker 3 (30:47):
They were so aggressive, so literally I would sit down
at a breakfast table outside in the dapple sunlight. It
was glorious. It was such a stereotype.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
What do wasps want?

Speaker 4 (30:59):
Okay, they want meat?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
The meat. They love meat. I love meat or anything.
Bird eating meat like cooker butters throws me off. That
is psychotic. People leave out.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
They love meat and they love I think they love colors,
so they're drawn to that.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
I want to ask cheese yellow?

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Oh yeah, ask chat gpt anyway, But then I realized
that this this sort of what do you call it,
a tie robe thing no I put on every morning
for breakfast, was attractive to them because of the colors
in it.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
So I imagine this, if you will I'll go on, give.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
It to me.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
One made me feel sad. They want a home.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Oh no, shut up, chat GPT.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
I'm going to smash.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
It gets better. We'll hate them again in a minute.
They want your food, especially meat and sugar. Yeah, they
want to serve the queen. They're workers. Did the worst,
so the question her best life. Well, they came akazi
into your picnic. It's still doing comedy, I think, because
I've asked it to be funny. But here's where we

(32:09):
don't like them. You're ready. They want to feel powerful.
They don't just sting for fun. They sting when they're
straight and territorial.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
So imagine this.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
I'm at breakfast on my own everyone there or in
a partnership.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
I am on my own sor can we get you
anything else?

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Perhaps a partner?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I think you were grieving.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
I don't know what they thought of me, because also
you know what I dress up for dinner?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, I reckon. They thought you were on your You're
on the prow for an Italian toy boy. Yeah, but
why would I be there at this particular place. Maybe
the other way, A guy that's worth a lot of
money that's on his way out, Well, but.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
He wouldn't be there on his own. Only I was
there on the floors.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
And that's why you were such a mysterious woman.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
And I was remained solo because I come to the
wrong plates anyway.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
So I'm there at breakfast, and the wasp would come
and circle me. So there, I was not enough that
I was on my own.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Then I'm there swatten and mortifying.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
I was like someone that had duretts with a series
of ticks.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
It was just terrible.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
It shouldn't have been embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Wasps and mortifying. And when you added a cafe or
at a beer garden, God already hating it. I'm there
and then there's a wasp and you're the only one
that can see it, and I have to pretend to
be cool and calm, and there's a wasp.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
So then one day I was by the hall. What
are they doing in Italy? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
They're a peaced everywhere. But the vesper, how perfectly named
is the vespa.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
That's that's genuinely interesting for once something on this podog,
it's actually quite good. I'm fucked. I'm fucked. How sounds
like an annoying wasp?

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Yes, and in fact I can't even remember what it is.
But in Naples, remember that.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
There are gangs of kids that ride around on scooters
and they steal people's bags and stuff and they call
them I should remember the name, but they call them
mosquitos in Italian. And obviously that's all just a running
joke of the Vest. But they're on the vestas the wasps.
They're not big enough to be the wasps. They're the mosquitoes.

(34:34):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I love it. By the way, we forgot to plug
our Sydney Live show at the top. We were supposed
to do that. Goodness, Sydney buckheads. This is your last
opportunity November nineteen. Yes at the Opera House. Come see us.
Last tickets on sale.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Laugh, it's the bestest, best.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
So exciting special guests. I want to talk about something, Kate,
that I feel that they're in a pr crisis and
they need our help.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Is it what one was known as coon cheese soon
to disappear off our shells?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Now that are they going completely? No one's bought cheer
cheer cheese cheer cheese. No one's It's actually weird that
you bring up a supermarket item because we need to
talk about mushrooms. We need to talk about mushrooms. The
other week, my husband, God bless that man, does he
love mushrooms? Decided to make me a lovely fresh dinner.

(35:31):
He went to the farmer's market to get ingredients. Was
it a real farmer A real farmer's market around the
corner from it's a good one, got proper farmers. It's proper.
There's a it's a proper registered people there hanging pigs
from the come on down.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
I nearly clap.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
That is one thing that I went to listen to.
I don't listen. I don't need you know, I don't
need pork. I haven't eaten pig in like three or
four years. True story. I saw. I think, I don't
want to talk about it. That made me go, oh no, yeah,
let's move on. Y don't ever watch it. He bought
one thing that wasn't learned things. Yeah, it was one

(36:13):
thing that really was quite odd. He bought like a
thirty six pack of eggs. But all the eggs have
double yolk.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Oh that's so lucky.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Did you buy them on purpose? On purpose double yolk?
Like it wasn't a luck? How did they know that
that happened. I don't know. I went, oh, thank you,
But in my head I was trying not to be
rude about this lovely gift by thinking he thought.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
You'd be happy with double yoki. Yeah, so many for
two people that live on their own.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
To have it.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Once thirty six there was two crazy three dozen double.
It was okay, pick up the whole try two people
for two people. I'm gonna say, that's a lot of eggs.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
It's so many eggs.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
There's almost something is here? Oh is he a doomsday
prep He's not you two?

Speaker 2 (37:04):
I wish he was. Sasha. We've got to do that.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
I've got to get you all were miss Sasha's birthday.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
While she oh, happy birthday. Wow, thirty five, there we go.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
That's irritating. You know what I find really irritating where people.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Go twenty one again? Yes, honestly, how badly dodose. People
deserve a kicking the teat the buck.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Up the buck up. So he decides to make me
this garlicy, chilly mushroom smuggette, right, sturdy cooks it up. Yeah,
and maybe some other people have felt like this. I
just looked down at all the mushrooms right to me.
I just looked at him and thought, what have you

(37:52):
got plan mate? We don't have a prenup. Oh finally
got the place? Are you not comfortable? We finally got
mortgage together, and you're serving me a fire meal. In
our eleven years together, mushrooms have never featured, never in
the inch meal we've ever made. Did the word forage

(38:15):
come up? Casually?

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Looking me?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Mushroom? Nothing but mushroom, nothing but mushrooms and spaghetti and flavor.
And I'm not going to lie to you. I did
love the.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Love.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Were you watching him eat?

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Play like a villain? Would have swapped plan?

Speaker 4 (38:36):
He goes to the bathroom blades and.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
I just think I had this realization, old mate has
done to mushroom eating what Jaws did to swimming in
the ocean.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yes, that you'll never enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
For generation of people. It's true though.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
It's really left a mar.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
And this is how I know there is a pr
crisis in the mush shroom industry. True, they went on
down Wallies on sale. They had one of those people
that are frying up at the little thing. Oh did
they mushies?

Speaker 4 (39:11):
What on a little stand? And just giving people them
in a little paper cup.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
They were they were. It was also with some like
packet flavory thing, but like it was sponsored by mushrooms.
Like it was mushroom. Money was behind it. Mushroom, big mushroom, mushroom.
There's like a pr push to get mushi's back. Wow.
Let me tell you this case.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
I did wonder about that. So they have suffered, but
the price point has not dropped, has it.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Well, you have never seen someone doing less at a
job than this poor woman on the mushroom stead, and
no one wanted them. One wanted a bar of the
free mushroom cup.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
Can I just you went outside a courtouse.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
She was frying up so marshies in the middle of
the food, the foods action, the poor thing. If she's
a buckhead, I saw you, and I feel your pain.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
A mushroom from it?

Speaker 4 (40:09):
No way ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Can I just say this, There's no safer time to
eat mushrooms? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Is it the season? By the way?

Speaker 4 (40:19):
Likelihood? Well, you know what the season was When I
was in Italy.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Let me guess the worst one ever.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
The truffle truffle season. And I had one of the
greatest dishes.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
I've ever had in my life truffle.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
What it was mashed potato, mashed potato with puccini, mushrooms
on it and truffle and olive oil over the top.
It was one of the most delicious things I've ever had.
And in true Italian manner, we'd ended up in this
town in which everything for some reason, the whole piazza
was closed. It wasn't even it wasn't even repose the time.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
It was like not there was no re with the
cafe near my place. Yeah it was.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
It was that or anyway, And Peter went, that's a
really weird thing to order. Of course, he got fried
kalamari stunning. It was the most delicious thing I've ever
eaten in my life.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I'm going to dream of that on my death. But
you sent me a sage. But a tortellini doesn't incredible, Dunning,
Let's bring mushrooms back. Come on, a bad, bad, bad.

Speaker 6 (41:33):
Bad bad.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
I'm going to tell you something I don't believe. Oh
it's just a little thing.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
You asked. Got my eyebrow about the mushroom meal. What
you know, Cody's mother is a divorce lawyer. Some papers
would be in place.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Okay, let me just say this in defense of the meal.
I don't know many lawyers who were pro murdering people
by giving the mushrooms. So I think and the fact
that you're here now, I mean I do think it's small.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Was so delicious. It was delicious. And I said to him,
if this is the way I go out, so be it.

Speaker 3 (42:09):
What did he say when you was What was he doing?
Did he know while you were eating the meal that
you were.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Yes, okay, when your husband walks into the house holding
a huge bag of mushies that looked because they were
from the farmer's market, they look rawles, yeah, dirty, Yeah
yeah yeah. Courage, evidence, yeah, evidence. I was on him
the whole time. Moving on.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Okay, So you know you constantly have to question things
in life. You do more than anyone we just well,
I still don't question enough.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
I reckon you do no question what do you eat?
What do you have for lunch?

Speaker 3 (42:50):
I'm in question authority and question things that we we're
just told that we swallow holes.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Would you've started a revolution of people returning things after
the pineapple? What else have people written to us?

Speaker 3 (43:00):
What have they taken back? You stuck it to the man,
but not even that things that you mocked me for
being suspicious about sun block.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
Now we know some blocks us right even in the box. No, no,
no need to fact. The argument is that sun block
doesn't work. The argument is their product isn't doing what
it says.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
But also that the chemicals do more harm than good.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Didn't doesn't say that that's coming out.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Okay, just you wait looking at this anyway, especially the
nanoparticles anyway. And then the other day I thought something
cannot say.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Nano particles and expect to just carry on. If someone
wants to hear some nanoparticles, they're going to tune into
the side show on the ABC app before they falls
poor old cruisalnisky what Carl, doctor Carl his name? Yeah,
I think so.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
I might have said it wrong.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
It's got a lot of all his job's gone now
because GPT. Do you think, well, everyone's going to call
in the Triple J and ask questions about science the internet, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
But also science.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Let me just say that you should have a podcast
with them questions. And then you go, but is that true?

Speaker 3 (44:15):
And I'll go, you know what, I don't agree. That's
all I have to say.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
I don't agree particles.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Yeah, I'll go nanoparticles anyway. Let me just say this
though nanoparticles penetrate the skin good and sometimes the organs.
They're designed to do that, so be careful what particle
you're nanoing.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
Let me just say that. Can you not see that
I'm on meds that are making all particles quite n anyway.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
So then the other day I thought, there's so many
things we've swallowed wholesale. You know, don't swim after eating
blah blah blah. And then you realize our mothers just
said that because they can't be going into the water
with you after it.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
They want to lie. They need news to me.

Speaker 4 (44:59):
Yeah, that's where they it's born from.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Okay, I believe.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
That you can totally, completely, utterly and deeply insert a
cotton pad into your ear.

Speaker 2 (45:23):
You know, there's people don't.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Bud cotton buds.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
I have a nice.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
Don't put the mini eas They're always saying, don't put
the mini your.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Eas do sometimes?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Of course you totally can, Are you totally one hundred
percent can?

Speaker 4 (45:42):
It's absolute bullshit.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
I'm going to tell you a story that he's going
to completely.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Things don't go wrong sometimes and things don't get different
to that.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
But it's just an insane ear story that I want
to Oh good, okay, tell me anyway? Are you with me?

Speaker 3 (45:58):
I do?

Speaker 2 (45:58):
I often do? People are like, you know, there is
a comedian what.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
A cotton bud's for if not for ear cleaning?

Speaker 2 (46:06):
An Australian male comedian that does a bit about the
older you get, the more things you put in your ear,
like a pen of key to get the scratch, and
like you just start getting more random the older you get.
And that made me laugh.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
I used to never put a pen in there out
of desperation. Never, I have never there's been one that's
a guy. I think there's a pens that's a guy.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
I think girls have never I've never seen a girl.
Although I'll tell you what, if every girl's honest, at
some point she's floss her teeth with her hair, that must.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Be I need to keep I need to keep that
just I need to sit with that for a second.
Do you pull it out for that?

Speaker 3 (46:47):

Speaker 2 (46:47):
You don't use it to just use the hair connected
to your Oh that's grim I'm saying, in desperation? Is
that strong? But whoever needs to floss that bag?

Speaker 3 (46:59):
Oh my goodness, have you ever eaten a mango? Well? No,
have you ever eaten meat?

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Well? Yeah, okay, good point, but never liked.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Nothing's worse than meat teeth.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
And as I said, desperation, why have you got all
judgy all of a sudden, any position meat to be
meat teeth?

Speaker 2 (47:21):
You've never had meat teeth.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Nothing's worse the meat.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
The mango strings.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
Mango strings are terrible. But since you claimb not to.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Have eaten, no, I don't eat mangoes often I had.
You know, I don't like fruits. You don't like a
texture textra, I don't have to eat them. I don't
mind the flavor.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
You only have to break an arm once to have
had a cast foot on it.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Oh god, you're good. No, we were many years ago.
I was driving in my car and my ear was
like hurting a little bit hurts, and I was like,
oh whatever, I kind of like left it and then
hag it's pain, and it was the pain was so
bad in your ear, and I had to pull over

(48:03):
in between period.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
This was noticing the pain to having.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
To pull ten minutes. And so I was going to
a gig with Cal Wilson. I've never forgotten it, and
I pulled over a big rip and I texted Carl
and said, running late, what I was looking about? The
line up in the order? Who can go on? Maybe
we can swap blah blah blah. I think I've got
a brain tumor. You know me, of course, So I

(48:28):
get there. Eventually the throbbing stopped, and Carl was like
trying to use her phone light, like look into my ear,
this whole thing backstage and get very good at that,
very thorough good with the hands, arts and craft, almost
very crooking in there. Couldn't find anything. Did the gig whatever?
Next day was like, I'll make a kindel out of

(48:49):
that in weeks. The throbbing the next day was so
bad I was absolutely convinced I had a brain tumor.
And so I went to the doctor. I was like,
I have a tumor. There is this throbbing in my ear.
Da da da. She tests, she can't find anything. She
sends me to a specialist because she's a mad doctor.
Because I'm very demanding. Yeah, I can me in a

(49:11):
medical appointment, right. I'm like, if you send me to
this person, really love that about you. I'm not I
want an end. So I still don't have a doctor,
because Kati, if I don't get an I don't have
a doctor. It's whoever I can find in the day.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
I can't even I won't even tell you on this
podcast because people lose their minds. How long since I've
seen the doctor?

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Well, I can tell because I'm with you often have
a guess ten years I.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Saw one when I was in Italy.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Actually house calls, Oh yeah, bring that heaven and guess
how much?

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Twenty euros?

Speaker 2 (49:46):
I mean, bring it on. I'm sure that was a
very legit visit. It was it good? He was a
great docs. Okay, fine, so you trust them, but not
our lovely he needed him, but I don't.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
I haven't needed one, but at some point I will
and I I won't have one.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
So I go to this specialist with my throbbing brain cancer.
Was it an E N T? I think it was
an e NT? I went to an en T? Also,
what does that stand for? Nose and throat? I went on.
I went to one years ago because I always lost
my voice and needed to like talk about like jewels,
about doing stand up for so long? Anyway, boring story.

(50:24):
He looked in the air and he goes, hang off,
it's kind of going a little thing here, and he
did a swab, he did this test.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
What did you do with this swab with a cotton?

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Cotton?

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Okay, I rest my cakes, give me, give me the music.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
Su the ray.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Yeah, I had shingles in the ear canal and he
somehow figured it out by something. And then they like
did a thing, did the thing. And when't I tell
you the pain for the net. There's nothing they can
do too late to starve. You can get like anti
nerve meds, only if you know what it is.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
In like the first twenty four hour were you in
the first twenty way, it was like it was just
not so you just had to grind it out for
about three months, three or four times a day for
about ten to fifteen.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Second vaccine No, no, this was way before that. This
was in that vaccinem No I'm saying this is before COVID. No, No,
that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Measles Month's rebella. Meesles is related. It's the same.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Okay, I'm just I just then this is the most
embarrassing part. It's all about how you look. And then
the shingles in my ear buckheads gave me Bell's palsy,
which if you're suffering from right now, I hear you.
I see, I'm here for you. Yeah, your face, I
had it for like nearly a year. Oh really, every photo,

(51:50):
Oh I think I still see it every photo I did,
like photo shoots and stuff for shows. You can see it.
When you look back, you can see And my face
has never fully recovered. No, if you look, you can
see it. My face is never fully recovered from from it.
Oh my goodness, can you see it? Yes, you can

(52:13):
see it. That's real.

Speaker 4 (52:15):
I'm teasing you. And everyone's face is asymmetric.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Jingles in the ear. I don't know that I would
go that was a great story. That's a story. I
don't for whom When someone has a medical story, I
am so in on. I don't like them.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
And you know what, you're well prepared for old age,
in which the only stories they seem to have are
medical stories. And I don't like Peter's got a sister
in law who I have other things to say, and
she's had a knee operation.

Speaker 4 (52:49):
I've heard things about.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
I've got no interest, literally got no interest.

Speaker 4 (52:54):
I'm like, I'll come see you.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Are you are you good?

Speaker 3 (52:59):
I don't want to hear, and then the tendon behind
the blah blah, and then they staple, why do I
want to hear that? When I broke my finger when
I was pregnant with.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Artie, say I want to hear this. No, I tell you.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
I rolled over one of Peter's cycling shoes in the
lounge room, and because I was so pregnant, I couldn't
see it, and because they're hard cycling shoes, and I fell,
and luckily my fall was broken by a cloud light
cushion of children.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
So and my finger.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
When I got up, my finger was like that, and
I just went oh and straightened it quickly.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Obviously I was in shock. Anyway.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
When I went to the surgeon for it, he made
he wanted me to look.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
I'm like, I don't want to look. I don't want
to look.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
So I had my hand on the pillow. I had
to be conscious because I was pregnant. I couldn't They
couldn't put me out for it. And suddenly he taps
me on the shoulder because I was looking a way.
I look over and he goes, I just want you
to see.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Your finger was cut open.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
It had yellow antiseptic, pulled all over, pulled all over.
It looked like something you know when you go to
Young Chine there's always some freak at the table that
orders chickens feet.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
No, that's what that was like. That was that was
the surgeon was the freaker. So I love this story.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
It was rendered.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Speaking of medical sharing information. I'm sure this is going
to be somewhere in a text from mom.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Okay, so you know, my mum's been really shy of
sending text like.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
Do you give her the pollos I gave you last week?

Speaker 3 (54:31):
No, I haven't had a chance yet. But our mate Pbe,
who first alerted me to the fact that you could
get these mints from brought some over to our house.
Sunda had them in her room, ostensibly to give to Omar,
but now Yarni's eating them all and so there's a
lot of fighting in our house. Oh. I got a

(54:53):
message from old boot camp mate Vanessa.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Stick to the task an, don't annoy our listeners that
think ADHD is too much like okay, all.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
Right, do you think I've got it as well?

Speaker 2 (55:10):
You are the embodiment.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
Do you think I should be medicated?

Speaker 5 (55:15):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Please cue to me. I've got it.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
You and I have both, but I'm the only woman
that if I've got it, doesn't talk about it. Okay,
so you've got to listen to these quiet So Mum's
being really careful.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
In her text.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
There's nothing random, there's nothing, but because she it still
is a text from Mum. There's a two parter in
which she gives herself away heart broken to have missed
you too. So Lewis and I went out to see her,
but she was out and I was only a Waverley

(55:50):

worried puzzle.

the lovely goodies you left me. Love your laughs, Mom.

One of the men on earth, Tiny Tim, Oh my god,
