So one of my art my number three, was born
in February. When's the comedy Festival March April exactly? So
my first outing after I had him was to the
comedy Festival and afterwards. So I had a great night.
I can't remember what comedian we saw, like three comedians
(08:48):
in a night, excited to be out of the house.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's a big commitment.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I got a arnia because I literally split my sides laughing.
What a compliment, though compliment it only I could remember
what comedians I saw to tell them, to tell them that,
because you know, I didn't know this. When you have
a sizara, I supposed to quote, Yeah, they stitch you
back up. I didn't know. They totally separate everything obviously
(09:15):
to get the beerby out.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Point to me where the hernia is?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So the HERNI was? Where was it? About? There? Around
my belly in the shower. But there's also a scar
down there.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So they must open you up like a like an
X package, a sunroof, Yeah, the delivery or something, but
it opens like that. Obviously I didn't ever look. I was.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
People look some people, do you know?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Some people loved to look. What's going on? I don't
want to know, They asked you. I went, I don't
want to look, and I don't want my husband to
look to see my insides. Yeah, I mean you know,
I know who would want that. Some people have got
or doctors for they love to look.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I think they have to the surgeons.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
They couldn't get in there enough anyway, So jazz happened? Valfo,
it does happen. What was I telling me?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I don't know who? Who are you bullying this time?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You went to the comedy first for your to hernia.
Feedback from the buckhead was in with something.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, do you want some controls? Husband? Oh my goodness,
yes please? You know as we would have seen in
Grade five, Wake Up Australia and she has look at it? Okay,
Why don't people say that anymore? One isn't a good one?
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Mark Levinson and they divorced on two thousand and four
on ull Blue.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Who oh my, so that was the one from the
jazz video. Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Do you think they divorced because of the she dogs
or the he dogs? What do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Get a copy of the divorce paper? Will look under reason?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh, I'm so devastated for her. She's okay at the
same time of the s JP.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Drama Yeah maybe.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Anyway, whatever, she's left us with her greatest legacy. If
she does nothing else in her extraordinary artistic life. That
is usually say.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's also school holidays or in Victoria. I never know
that's is that everywhere? Are they all linked?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I think they sort of are on now or this crossover.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's so funny how when you don't have children, how
blissful it is. The it's the roads getting here tonight
a breeze. It's just there's so many positives to school holidays,
but the tone of voice in all of my friends
that has school age children, Yes, just like this, crack
(11:59):
their eyes witch.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, it's just it's a lot, so fun it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It's like you forget that when you have the kids that, oh,
you've got to actually see them for six weeks a year,
not at school.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That is the role of schools, just.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
To get them out of your hair.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
To indoctrinate them and get them out of your hair.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We're cooking, of course.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Do you think they're not indoctrinating children at school?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
What do kids do on school holidays?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Now, Well, it depends if you're sort of an activity
person and if your parents work, so if you when
school holidays come around, one of my favorite things is
you'll just see random things that you'll see a truck
driver and they'll be boy tye with high visit vest
(12:51):
so angry.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
I don't know who looks sadder, the dad or the son,
but I think they.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Both kind of like it. You know, depending on what
the work is. And anyone who works in an office,
there's always someone who's brought some droopy nosed kid that's
sitting in the corner on an iPad.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, school holidays to me, a lot of days at
Nanda's dropped off in the morning from just nothing natala
on toast.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
All day, plastic plastic.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I'd watch the daytime TV shows with a go in
the backyard. None would yell at us because we'd want
to get on the garden.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He'd screen, he'd ruined the plant, the.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Vegetables that he was growing, Go down a bike with
square food, shopping for a couple.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Of hours and the money. No, just that was go yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
That that's a core school holiday man.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Okay, so my husband, who I just want to tell you,
I didn't grow up with grandparents because I was a
migrant child whose grandparents were overseas.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I don't know why you're staring at me like I've
got an issue with that? What did you do the
most intense I have ever seen your face.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I just sometimes you know I'm in the movie.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You've got new dark haird and you're a new person
too dark.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm a bit more Titia Adams.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You've gone full goth. Autumn has made me emo and you.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Oh my goodness, though we've got to go to for
a walk to the only surviving comic shop.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You keep saying it's too dark, But didn't you choose it?
Or did you person just do what you want? No,
I didn't choose. I like it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I like brown. It looks to be so deep.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
It's nice.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Thank you, you're very kind.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
A dark seven. You know what it is. It's seventy's
seventy percent coco.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's dark, and you know what, I want it to
be a little bit more curly wirly, Okay, just a
little bit a little bit okay, So speaking of none
of the things we were just speaking of. So last
actually was it was appary the hairdresser sweet. I went
down to the beach with my girlfriend Carla, and both
(15:04):
of us were like, we need to get out of town.
I had half a week off.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Just before school holidays. Get out there.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Okay, So Carla and I went we want to go
early the day got away from anyway. We went down
to the little cottage by the sea. It's stunning.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I haven't been there yet.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
The firebro cottage, right, it's.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Beautiful, the one that you keep telling me like that
hasn't got electricity, And.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
No it's got electricity, okay, but it doesn't have town
water or town gas, but sewage or rubbish conduction. It's
nearly off the grid. It does have electricity, not going.
But it's so beautiful, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Sash any location that involves you going to town for
something there's no town well you just said everything's in town.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
No, there's no town water, there's no town gas.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
But where do you get the water from the sky?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
My joy?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Do you do? You know what?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I don't understand why gay men have the reputation they have.
I just you know what, you've confirmed my theory. Go on,
this is my thing.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
So here we go, gay people, listen up, here she comes.
You know, I'm had a hole on my finger on
the cancel button.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So you know how you know how gay men talk
about how they if they grew up in the country,
or do they talk about how they had to leave
town and they're always like, I had to get out
of town, and there's always like mah, you know, maybe
they were bullied or maybe that, but they were just
like this town didn't understand me. I had to get out,
And having just spent four days in the country, I
(16:39):
actually realized it's because they couldn't do any of the
shit associated with country living, like you, where's the water
coming from? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
He's not wrong, yes.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And it's quite brilliant the same I couldn't. It was okay.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It's not a match made in heaven, the regions and
the gays, but none of.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
My gay friends are very capable.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I'm sure it'd be capable once I got there.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
You know, Nick and Kanye they're so capable. They're always
putting up ten.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
But one of them's of event designer, so they're used
to like doing things. No thanks.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
What about Cody. I thought he'd be capable.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
He goes camping every year with the family up I've
down there. As I said, we've been together for eleven years.
I have never gone camping with his family, and yet.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
You're so camp I'm in the irony. She's done it
that anyway.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I've never stepped foot so anywhere near a ten it's
really lovely. The only times I've camped is when I
was in my twenties and we go to Falls first
All every year for three days and would camp and
rough it. But there was so much chemical support, yes
that I could handle it.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, And I understand it. And I
never used to be into nature at all, and I've
realized I still am not. And I tell you what happened.
So it's properly in the country. Seen the pigs, Yeah,
and it's beautiful. And it looks across to a place
called Wilson's Priming Victoria, which is a really stunning natural
(18:09):
prom anyway. But because it's in the country and it's
an old firebro house, so sometimes there's like wildlife incursions.
There's always you see wallabies in these two bats. Yeah,
and you see you have square poo in the yard
because of wombat space.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Don't separate the wom bat baby from the wom bat mum.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Who would do that?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I do that?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
American mole. I think that's I think people are just
too here we.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Go, You're going to support her?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, I'm not. It was but also, how did she know?
She doesn't know, you don't do.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That to hang on. You're telling me there's animals in
the world that love it when you steal the up
and then put it back on this podcast more talk
about things months ago.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
That's a specialty anyway. So there's a lot of wildlife.
And I love my husband, you know, he's always got
a positive view about things, which is when you see roadkill,
which is so upsetting, and then you'll say, but Darlin,
it does tell you that there's a lot of them around.
I'm like, oh, that's a nice way to look at
(19:15):
what is a terrible situation.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I think about that next time I drive past. Like
a cemetery, for sure.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
As my mum would say, people are dying to get
in there anyway, So you go down there and sometimes
the unexpected things happen, Like friends of ours have got
a place down there, they got a bird stuck flew
down the chimney when they were there. That's why we
always shut all the internal doors. And there's these native rats,
dancing rats, which when you see them are huge looking
(19:45):
but still they have the name rat in them.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
But dancing rats gay rats, well you know, well they
call dancing rats.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Well, it's a native rat and it dances like on
its back. It's cute anyway, but still, and I never
want to say it anyway, So I get up early
one morning. I'm woken by guilt because what have I
gone down there to do? Writing?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Oh? How's the book going up?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Good?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
But I get I get up, how's the book going?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Shut up?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
What are you my editor? Anyway? So, but I have
got up early, and I'm sitting there and it's small,
so I'm next to the gas cook top. And then
there's an old oven built into the wall, and it's
so old. It's actually great oven. It only has two
settings like hell fire and refrigerator off. Yeah, that's right. So,
(20:49):
and it's so old. It's actually just the front of
its pokes through the wall and the rest of it
hangs outside, which is quite good for cooking in summer.
That inside of the cottage doesn't get hot all the
heat it's blasting outside. Right anyway, I think, can I
smell gas? Or something made me look over and I
saw the most horrendous side. Oh no, I saw half
(21:15):
a mouse. And I saw half a mouse hanging from
the bottom of the stove. And it was like it
was bungee jumping because its head and its little hands
were out and it was sort of swinging like this.
But I'm like, where's the other half of it? Oh,
it's stuck, it's jammed in the oven.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Alive alive because it was sort of and off and off.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
It's first thing in the morning, and I was like,
oh no, oh no, And also what am I going
to do? Like I watched it. I watched it for
a couple of minutes, hoping it was an issue that
would resolve itself, that would drop to the floor and
that would scuttle off. And it didn't, okay, and it
just stayed there you're relaying. It was like it was
(22:01):
Pink at a concert, just on a track, just swing
the party, starlet. She goes And so I called Carla,
my girlfriend, and she came out, and I realized she's
useless INATU regions. Come on, countrywoman, I don't know Drover's wife.
(22:23):
So I said to Carla, what should we do? I
don't know what to do? And she went turn the
out on. I'm like, what eight? It would take an
hour and be what are we going to incinerate the
hindquarters of the poor mouse.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That said hung in there anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Oh my goodness, it was so horrendous. I really had
to may I quote Shakespeare please, do I think this
is Henry the Fifth? I had to screw my courage
to the sticking place, and I had I grabbed I know,
I grabbed a pair of tongs. I'm like, what can
I do? And this was one of the most horrendous
(23:02):
things I've ever done.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
This better have a happy ending, I had to.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I had to say back up. I had to get
his little It was surgical. I had to squeeze his
little tummy and I tried to go above his tummy
sort of to his hip hip where his hips was.
It was terrible. It was like a force up's delivery.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And I had to the worst secret heard terrible.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Can you imagine me? First thing in Yeah, he's still alive.
He's wiggling, and I'm trying to talk to him, going
don't be scared. But at the same time, I'm terrified
of him. I'm terrified, And I finally had to give
him a good tug to get him out. He was
really wedged in the hinge of the oven door, so
I gave him a good pop and then he was
wiggling his hands. Took him out and throw him in
(23:53):
the neighbor's bushes. But he left.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
He lives a long and happy regional life.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
He'd be you know what, he would have bred ten
generations by now. I wouldn't go that was on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm never going near that house. But you're right about
the country living, because I remember a couple of years
ago I was about to prove Cody wrong and he
was like, let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Real off grid, how off green.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
We went to a place called Milford Sound in your
neck of the wood, New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
That's New Zealand's hardcore proper South. Have you been there?
Sash beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
It constantly enlists on lists of genuinely like the best
looking places on it. It's like you dry a lake. Yeah,
but it's like like a mountains.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Anyone got a bitch there? Lots about Do you know
about the batches?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
What's a batch?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That's what New Zealand is called, the little like a
little cottage on the beach.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Okay, rustick is a batch like your place?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Very rustic? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
A lot of mice, a lot of trapped mice.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But they're a lo to catch stuff down there on
the beam.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
They've got no snakes.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You used to get so many abaloney that they used
to make abaloney.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Muscles, like bring them home to Australia.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Can you imagine that? No tin, big lomot.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't trust those things. They are too spiky and
they's freak me out.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The shells beautiful and always makes a nice asht.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I think I've got the wrong creature.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
See urchins.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah that's sorry, that's.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Find the New Zealand do that.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's a whole thing. It's a very traditional
food over there, isn't.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
It spiky with the orange thing.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
In the Yeah? Yeah, weird? How do you feel about them?
So we went to Milford Sound. There's places that are insane,
like at one point when we're driving above clouds. I
don't know how that's possible, but.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
We can't blame.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I would believe we're driving like all that amazing. You
go through that thing where you drive through by.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
The way, did you have a cap on?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
It was a few.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
It was over helicopter propeller on the top of it
in the front seat of the car.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
We get to Milford Sound. The proper, proper checking out,
not allowed to have anything. No, there's no You were
to pay like sixty bucks if you want satellite Wi
Fi all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It sounds really off.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
It was two nights.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Did you buy the Wi Fi?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
We didn't got to my good anger.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
This guy that I married is one of those people
that can go to bed. He can go to bed
at six thirty seven o'clock. Me too, and happily sleep
till the next day.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, love it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Maybe not sixty Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
I have never did you cook on a fie? I've
never been so bored in my life. We were in
this accommodation where three of the walls were glass so
you could look out into the of the beauty. He
was out at plus six. I lost my mind. I
remember going through this picture book of the place we
(26:57):
were in, hand over, just looking at the book again,
looking at the shiny pictures of the mountain.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Had you brought a book or something forward?
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Playing like that. I was just listening to some of
my own music on my Spotify. It was the longest
forty eight hours of monh my, it's not good for me. Good, No,
just this my mind, my brains.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Not good for you.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
It's not. And that's funny. This is almost a segue
for the first time in history and the buck.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Up, hang on, should we have a drum roll?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I'm going to read you headline. Tell me if you'd
step foot in thish in the earth's quietest room, you
can hear yourself blink. So okay, there is a room
that is so quiet that it's negative decibels. Yes, and
they think that no human can be in there for
(27:56):
longer than half an hour to forty five minutes without
going mad, going insane. And you can pay to go
and stand in this room that's the world's quietest room.
Go in and people can hear.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Get in trouble, they can hear normal.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
They can hear their own heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
People they hear own circulation.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
People say they can hear their own blood circulating. People
have said they can hear their lungs when they breathe, and.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
People, oh, I can often hear that if I've been
vaping to I can hear it. I hear it, I
can hear it.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
And I read this and thought, that is my actual
idea of how being in a room so quiet that
all I've got is myself and my thoughts and my.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Blood that incredible.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Could you do it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I do it? But for how long do I have
to do it? I think it's up to you until
I go mad.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
You can just pay to go in there for a bit.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Okay, definitely i'd go in there.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I don't think I could step foot in it.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I know you couldn't, no way. You know what else,
people wouldn't want you in there because you were incessant
babbling like it'd be like, excuse me. I thought I
was going to hear my eyelashes blinking and my blood
coursing through my veins, going hella baloo. This is really
freaking me out? Are you freaked out?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I have headphones on so much. I have music on
when I'm working all day. I have headphones on walking
the dog. I have music playing on them in the like.
I have to have something going at all times.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
See, I'm the opposite. I hardly ever, even like even
when I worked on radio, I'd never had the radio
on in the car. Now I'm a little bit more
so because I have to listen to so many podcasts
and stuff. But I just love silence. You wouldn't think so,
it's true, but I have that I adore it.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I don't want a bar of it. I have phone
calls I've got to make for the car ride, so
I even time them so I know, oh that that
half hour drive, I'll call that person. So I'm talking
the whole time. I cannot be with me and my thought.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
The rest of your time in New Zealand when you
were getting to Milford Sound, did you drive?
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
We had a great time and you, oh the whole
week was excellent, Cody, Thank you. I did have a
very lovely time.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Hear it. He's never going to hear it.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
He doesn't listen. He doubled, he doublers, but he bungee jumped.
This was a couple of years ago. He did it all.
We had a lovely time, of course I did. I
was having an anxiety attack just watching him.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
You know, I've done it. Wow, And I would never
do it. You know, people go. It was the greatest
moment in my life, and I felt it was so
life affirming. Afterwards, I was a desiccated husk of a
woman who had to be taken to KFC. I had
to be revived with a three piece feed and it
(30:50):
was and the blood vessels under my eyes had burnt
about this and we do any damage. But I know
people say your eyes can boing out.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Well yeah, and also apparently there's a lot of people
that get very bad back injuries after going bungee jumping,
not skydiving. Apparently skydiving is better for your body than
bungee jumping is.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well because of that elastic but I thought it would
be good for your spine to really stretch it out. Yeah,
I guess yes.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
But the trip was great, except just that forty eight
hour bit.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
There in the silence, my beautiful view in the world,
the quiet room.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Hello, well, well, well, well hello, it's one of Australia's
favorite import Hello after Kolua, it.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Is Lange and you know what you are? Brilliant, Lloyd
Lang said, But not brilliant enough. We're prepared to pay
a tariff on you.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I have to say before I kick into you. Lloyd. God,
Lloyd's a good stand up.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Oh he's brilliant touring right now, go.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And see him. You're an idiot if you don't you
heard me say that bit, right, Lloyd, I feel like
you're buttering me up for what the boat to come?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Really do you need buttering up? Well? Watch out when
Valveo's buttering you up, Lloyd, anything good happen?
Speaker 3 (32:17):
We all know that a friendship really is revealed slash
maybe tested when you go out for dinner as a
group and you're ordering for the table.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yes, yes, I love the person who orders for the table, Lloyd?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Did you order the food for the table? Was that
your lovely partner etto well? I was. I was initially
unhappy that the decision was made to order less means
than there were people.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Oh right, you don't, you're yes, you believe it should
be at minimum one per head.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I'm like, I'm like eating like I'm in prison. I've
got my arm, Yes I do?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Do you sort of have that vibe? Was it an
oppressive life growing up in Wales?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Now, without further ado, Lloyd, please tell our lovely buckheads
listening the price of the wine that you didn't but
you didn't ask the table about on? Okay, it was
two hundred and fifteen dollars. Oh my cues order.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Did you not look at that or did you go
that'll be fine, or did you go I want to
punish these people.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
No, I tore it on purpose. I wanted to drink it.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I wanted to try you.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That's fine, Lloyd, but don't you bring me into this.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Don't you say to the table, I'm thinking about this
rather expensive bottle of wine that I would have Buckley's
chance of affording on my own. And then what happened
on the group chat? Yeah, Sophie said it was delicious
and we should just split a four weeks. Yeah, and
(34:07):
you said, okay.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I've never seen someone fight less for anything in my life, Floyd.
I've never seen someone put that white flag up.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
And I thought, I just I feel like it.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Life's too short to oh look at that buck up.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know what makes life longer? Paying off your credit
card from the wine that someone else it is?
Speaker 3 (34:33):
What did I reply to the group that I've taken
up uber driving three nights a week to pay my
quarter of the bill? I like repeating jokes, Lloyd, I
love you.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I love you, we love you. Hey, what's your comedy
festival show called?
Speaker 6 (34:47):
It's called Unsurprisedly, it's called powerful energy.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Powerful energy. When he's ordering the wine, when he's doing comedy,
he's so alf He's going to Sydney's going to Brisbane
in Melbourne, go see Lloyd love you, Lloyd bye bye.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I'd have to drink wine with him.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
It's a text from Hello, Ah, she's bad but your mother?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No, okay, just mothers in general. Do you know what
we say? There's no difference or division or divide between
the mothers. There is one universal mother.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
And if anyone's in your.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Apple side of vinegar jar, oh yeah, the mother.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I don't like the mother. Do you say you should
drink the mother's supposed to drink the mother? Now I
don't like the mother. I find the mother creepy. And
also you know when people make com butcher, Yeah, that
creepy thing is called the mother of Kate.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I've kicked off before on this podcast about how the
incident always tells me to use apple side of vinegar
to clean stuff. The new one is buy carbs.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Also amaze, they go together, but it doesn't do anything.
You supposed to soak your you want to have to.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Do you want to clean things twice? Then use these
ingredients because it doesn't do it on the first go.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Okay, so on the when you it's really good for
a couple.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Of things, well, I don't know what those things are.
I'll tell you not cleaning.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
If you've I don't imagine you ever fry so deeply
and ferociously that stuff gets stuck to the bottom of
the pan. Or bake in an oven and make sticky
chicken ribs, or we make sticky things ham and the
pants are sticky.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I've glazed a few things in our time.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
If you can't get that pan clean, you just put
bi carb on it, sprinkle it some water, and put
it on a low heat.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
See, I don't I just don't believe it.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
But it does it.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
It always has to do it. It just doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
I want things that make me dizzy. I want forever
chemicals all over everything. I want my dishes to taste
like dish washing liquor.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
And that horrible smell when you open it. Alan Lewis
is always doing this, and for some reason he always
does as it does it at tea time when I
open the oven and suddenly this is acrid smell because
I've just flicked it onto preheat and he's decided to
clean the oven. He doesn't like twice a year with chemicals,
and then he always goes, it's not chemicals, it's acid.
(37:23):
I'm like I'm pretty sure that.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Sign me up.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I'm pretty sure up.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Or live to eighty five because I use bi carb
soda to scrub everything fifty times. I'll take seventy.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Five secrets from the aged. Imagine if that was one
of them, they lived to eighty five because of the
soda and they Yeah. Anyway, text from Mum.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
It's a text from so.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I've got to show you this picture.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
So it's a guy with a big bald head and
his eyes look like two ping pong balls.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
It looks fake shoved.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
In his in his in his sockets with eyeballs painted
on them.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
We'll check it on our Insta.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
But they're really his proper eyes. And this is the message.
This is from Todd and his He said, mother strikes again.
Now what message from this slightly demented looking guy. He's
got the goat, the goggly ping pong ball painted eyes
bulging out. Well, no, they look like that. I think
(38:30):
they're just his eyeballs. Okay, but they look like ping
pong balls with something painted on them, with eyeballs painted
on them. Watching Britain's got talent. This guy did weird
things with his eyes. I know yours weren't that weird?
But reminded me of your eye? Think hope all good
with you guys?
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Kiss it's a text from you weird. I think?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
How like these guy's eyes are so weird, They're so weird,
they're so weird that they got him onto an international
talent show that shows off people's talents and creepy his eyes.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
There's no sentence more than such a mum sentence reminded
me of your your.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
How do they manage to do us if I'm not
expecting it?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
Now? I want to know what he's eye thing is.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I'd like to say it to Todd us of your
weird eye. I am so back.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
My autumn depression is nowhere to be seen. It's gone,
absolutely gone.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
And our money back guarantee.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
If you have depression, we will drive it out of you.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Like was it Jesus who drove demonized herd of swine
over the cliff?
Speaker 3 (39:52):
No, that wasn't Jesus.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
What's that Jesus? Who was it?
Speaker 3 (39:55):
I have no memory of.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Quickly google it Jesus.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
With a flock of pigs over a cliff?
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, I think they were swine. You know, the Bible
loves the word swine.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I don't think that was Jesus.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Someone drove a demonized herd of swine over a cliff.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
I mean you might be right. I don't think you are.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
I mean maybe not. Because Jesus was also on the
cliff when Satan offered him all the riches of the
world below. He said, all of the look at this.
They were looking out over everything.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
The light touches is yours, oh camp.
Speaker 6 (40:43):
Jesus asked the demon for his name, and he has
told my name is Legion. Many legion, legions. Ns be
Jesus not to send them away, but instead to send
them into the send them into the pigs on the
nearby hillside.
Speaker 3 (41:00):
I wasn't paying attention that week in church, but you
were during the Lion King. What so I'm the only
person who gets Simba and Jesus mixed up.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
We're bucked.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
I'm bloody bucked.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
And back next week. Tell your friends come along. Hello.
