Speaker 1 (00:00):
H 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
(00:21):
is a place of paradox of beauty and cruelty.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It will cut you off.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
With the knees, then gift you a pair of easies.
And that, my friends, is why you always always need
a buck up.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Bab ba b b b by bye bye bye, bad
bad bad bad bad bae bye a my co host.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Relaxed about a tracksuit.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Tracksuit.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You have come in holiday mode. I love it. I
am so post pool hair.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yep, yeah, nothing's been I've collapsed like the Twin Towers.
And yet I like to think, never look better.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You look better than rubble.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Look looking at myself through holiday eyes. Sorry to people
who have been grinding it out without a holiday. I e.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
This guy sitting right here.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Your life is like a holiday. That's right, you haven't
had a holiday.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I have no holiday. I'm over here winter cold and flu.
You're over there in.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
BALI lapping it up, chock full of vitamin D.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
You've got a lot of D. I can tell, which is,
as we know.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Not a vitamin. It's actually a hormone, okay, that facilitates
every bodily function, every single one of them. And you
know who else has come back chock full of vit D.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And sushi and sushi all the way from Japan.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And Sasha French, the greatest producer.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
In the land. Here got Barley over here. Me. I've
just been here in gray, dark, rainy Melbourne. And by
the way, you chose the right week to go away.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It has been absolutely freezing, so bitterly cold down here
down south. Do you know the thing what I love
about weather is what but weather reduces all of us
(02:37):
to basic common denominators, right, It's.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
The great equalizer, It really is. Well I said that
about weather.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There's some standard, some standards that people like to mock,
but they're actually so one of them, of course, that
we're not getting to employ it at the moment.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Is hot enough for you, God enough for you up north?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But this one that I have been using with my
family would say, monotonous regularity is dropping it. Oh, it's
snowing somewhere, because it's so cold.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
It's snowing somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Snow You think you could do better.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think you could do better if it's freezing cold.
I feel like you got I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know it's true, you know what the great corrector?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Oh you don't like snowing? That it is, by the way,
Well it must be, didn't I see footage the other
day of all the snowfields looking grim.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That was a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Maybe it's snowing now. It must be, And we hope
some and if you, hey, if you're employed in that,
we hope it's snowing. We hope you're a buckhead up
in those parts. And if you need to be snowing
a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Money on a season lift pass, uh huh, very expensive.
I hope you're getting your money's worth.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
This won't shock you at all. You're ready, Okay, you've
never been to the snow lot? Twist, I love skiing.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Isn't a snow monkey, he's.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
He's gone to the snow.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That's how your relationship. Is he a border or a skier? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I think a border, but I'm sure he's done both.
It's very political, you know, to decide which one borders
harder than skis? Which surprises me? Someone so but not
if you grow.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Up with it, I think. But once I watch people
trying to get up from a snowboard. I realized my
only chance I had was skiing.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Okay, me with a board strapped to my feet, go
on down a mountain.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, it's not you. In fact, nothing that involves momentum.
And I refer to your career as.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You have nailed that.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
As I say that, however, not.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
A fat of momentum.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
However, the first time I think I ever went sk
was that with you, Sash, when we went on out.
And okay, this won't surprise you, but who in this
room of Pope is an expert ski?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Little snow bunny she grew up.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's a popular pastime on the South Island.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It's that's that's where I was. I've been in the snow,
and that's where I was in the snow properly was
when we went and did New Zealand a few years ago. Right,
But you weren't And it wasn't It wasn't ski places
we went to. It was just a snowy part of
the adventure.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But then people trick you into this is like the
worst thing. When people go put on some snowshoes and
we'll do a what's it called? When they just walk
over the snow, but you're doing like a trick a walk.
I don't know, it's you know what I like about
the snow the fashion. Of course, I've got a terrible
(05:54):
snow bunny fantasy.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I get that. Yes, the big jackets, and also some
like do you like also tight down the bottle? Tight
down the bott No, you know what I like, furry
little rave down the bottom, like like leg warms warm
was on the ankles and then and then a little
roughly short.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This is hot, a little roughly short, and maybe some
kind of.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
You really thought, how was just you and Sash on
this holiday? I have some questions and.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
A half brow house top, you know, like you want
to try my pork knockle with some surah crut.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
You know that I like the inside part of it,
looking out of the snow, the fires on I.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Like aside, you like inside anywhere you're not an outdoor
and I like all of that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, so we should go.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But do you do indoors? What did? Because you don't
particularly like to eat and you don't particularly like to drink.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
By the way, the blackheads need to know this. This
is a Kate Lainbrook offering for food at eleven am
for our record, A jar of olives.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's not an a and Pecorino romano.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
How are you going to eat that?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'm going to go get a knife, and then Sasha
and I gonna have chunks of it. We're all going
to yell at me about well, you know why I
couldn't get a cracker because guess why? Because I'm like
you with full anno with carbs. You are so anna.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I'm not Anna.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
My girlfriend Georgie, by the way, this is just you know,
attitude is everything. Years ago, she was in Adelaide and
she was in a you know, they had the concept
that's very lucky your friend. Yeah, they had the concept
still of like a boutique that's owned by a person,
so it has stuff that's like not in a chain
(07:55):
chain of boutiques, you know what I mean. So she
was in there and this guy was helping her, gay
guy Fabo with the with the with some jeans and
he said when she tried them on, she said, are
these mutton dressed as lamb? And he said, no, dull
even better your full hogg. It so a hogg it
(08:17):
is apparently what's between mutton and lamb? Right, So she said,
of course, I boy, is it a compliment?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, it is all right.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And then the other thing she tried on something else
and he said, oh my god, you look full, Anno,
and she went had to buy them as well.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
So he's a good salesman.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So let's steal retrospective track a bang.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh please, I'm got Anno for saying no to olives
and cheese at eleven am on a Monday with no cracker,
with no cracker.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
No you raw dog and olives, raw dogging olives. Come on,
I really wanted those black Spanish olives. I love them.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
They didn't have them.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Cool story.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
This is like we're also you're sending photos of toilets
to us just before we press to.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Pick up a toilet I had because I'm coming.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I have so much to do.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No one can begrudge me anything.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I certainly can't, because mate, I am.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
In full service most of the time. I've had two
weeks off.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
You've gone from barley to picking up a toilet.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, and I made dinner last sud.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I made a sud. That is a thud. Who's not
delivering a toilet?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
By No, it was I'm sure the server right, No,
it was a secondhand. Oh my god, it's from Maria
who does my nails. Oh, she's putting in a new bathroom.
But they're immaculate because they're Greek.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Okay, love a toilet.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Getting a toilet from Greeks or Italians, even if they've
had it for ten years, they go big on the bathroom.
It's like getting a brand new It'd be cleaner than
I would get from Bunny.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
If you ever drive past the house, they've got statues
in the front yard, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Anyway, so I had to say I had to drive
Peter's nutbus to pick up the toilet because stop lost
in I know, no, no, no, I'm more intrigued in
a conversation between two people where it becomes oh.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'll have the toilet. Oh are you getting rid of it?
I'll come and get it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Actually, Okay. So Maria who does my nails, it's been
an ongoing thing. She works from her home and down
like downstairs where you wash your hands. She's got a
little bathroom and she was doing it up. She actually
just randomly said to me one day, Oh, we've got
to get rid of anything you don't want to you
don't want to toilet do you? And I said, as
(10:44):
a matter of fact, I do want a toilet.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
But stop again, what about you? Did she think she
needs a toilet? Like she's picked up a vibe from
you that you're a bad toilet? What is a good toilet?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Okay, we've can textualized my husband, Peter Allen Lewis.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We're getting to him in a minute.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Okay. So the context for him is he's a man
who decides to have the first family holiday with our
four children in four years, and he books them to
Bali on a fourteen hour flight to save money. So
the backstory to the toilet is Lewis lives in the bungalow.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Behind our house, the dream Spot, and because.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Our house was not owned by Italians or before, but
not if you saw the toilet, the toilet is so
horrendous that I thought it was really deeply stained, but
it wasn't. What whatever has happened out there, whatever demons
were living out there, goblins underworld characters, uh huh, they
(11:51):
have somehow whatever their ablutions were, eaten away the enamel
from the inside of the toilet, so that it's perpetual.
It's so disgusting. And I said to Peter. At one point,
Lewis needs a new toilet, goes, you need a new
toilet for who's leaving rent free to inside, but you still.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But also, toilets are not that expensive.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's what I say. I can actually go get a
toilet for three hundred dollars or in my case.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Chat we're having for free.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I got it. That's so great, I got it for free.
I just think I used toilet. This is the first
time in my forty two years on Earth, I'm hearing
a friend tell me they got a secondhand toilet.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Right, Can I tell you this? My dad tell me
every time you go to a restaurant and.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
You use the toilet more than second, it's a used toilet,
and not only.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That, it's a deeply used toilet. Yeah, that's just let's
be realistic about it.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So I won't have you mocking me for my used
toilet then, Peter, of course, because you had to yuck
my he goes. I hope it fits in the same
footprint as the original toilets.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I did think that. I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I don't know either. Anyway, I'm rolling the dice. I've
got the toilet. It's in the back of the nut bus.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Along with that, you bought over olives and cheese and
a secondhand toilet in the same car.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Anyway, the first time I injured myself skiing, I was
with Sasha French.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
You went down and on skis or the board on.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Skis, uh huh, and I fell so deep into it,
I'm going to say, a flurry of snow that Sasha French,
all four foot of her, had to try to haul
me out of this deep. It was also not helped
by the fact that I'd injured my shoulder.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
From the same trip, the same four all in the
one fall.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It won't surprise you that I fall heavily. Anyway, Sash
was there trying to lift me out of the snow flurry.
And did you have to get help? Yes? Do you
have to ask a stranger?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Where are we?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Where is this somewhere in Victoria?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Put the chains on the tires?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Who did that, really, Peter? Oh? No, actually he did it.
It was a radio trip, so there were people who
do you.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Know I came to that. I came to that, I
was there, I was there this. I remember this specifically.
Oh I remember this?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Did you come with us today.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I was part of the crew and we did a
big no promotion and Taran and Nat and we were
just we were the Casanova team that just like put
up the signs and helped the party be a hip.
We got absolutely magging.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Everyone did.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Everyone did?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
This is insane. I was there.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh my, I was there.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
We all went up in a bus. We were in
the bus with the competition winners, right to.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Go to the snow when I got injured.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
No, I would have remembered that. Speaking of your husband,
because he was there apparently at this snow trip, yes,
he was there too, Yes, but all there, Kate has
been to Bali. We know from last week or the
week before that you've plumped your kids on scoot.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Your husband, and you know what you've kicked. You've kicked
Pete a few times over the years on the buck
up about his booking behavior. Yes, the flights, yes, ye
here bye there.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Cash yes, and I do once it wasn't even to
save cash, remember the thirty six hours coming back from India.
But I do always say to you, I always defer
to the court of public opinion. Well, can I say,
can you criticize the person that's doing the job. If
you're not doing the job's good question. The consensus has
(15:50):
been yes.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Because buckhead, buckhead, Pete, your husband has reached out.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's actually takes to get him to live double.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
He must have doubled.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No, someone dabbed me in, someone lagged me out. Oh
you know who who peebe? Who's Yanny's godfather. He's a
devout and devoted buckwhitt right, we love him, but he's
also a rotten niche. So he came over and he went.
Your wife gave it to you on the backup this week, Pete,
(16:23):
she gave it to you.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I'm like, shit, Well it's good because you got he
went and listened and we got the numbers racking up
the hits. Yeah, this is Pete writing this, not.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Me, my beloved husband. By the way, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
My response to the defamatory accusations made by your show,
the buck up. Yeah read travel arrangement, scoot flights blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, number one, this is him, your husband number one.
And most importantly, Kate shows very little interest during the
booking process, going so far as to hide whenever I
mentioned we need to talk about the fars, because of
course you do. I can see it. I can see
you scuttering away.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And it's hard because he's right by the front door.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Run it up to your bedroom, get snacks on.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
The way, try to get out, but he's always like,
can I see you for a moment.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
This is in direct response to booking the kids on
the scoot flight by the way.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Ten hours to get to Bali, which is I discovered
five hours and thirteen.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Number two, I had just booked Kate on her own
business class flight to Catman do direct from Melbourne for
your little adventure.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well that's because that'll be the last flight day ever.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Take Mountain your honor. Three. She comes with six people
in total and budgeting for six. While she insists on
a tight budget for her children, it's not an easy task.
I insist on the budget for the This is the
most one I've ever had on our podcast right now.
Number four. On that note, and with reference to point one,
(17:56):
she has a lot of expenses herbal medicine steaks. Number
five on that subject of her children's flights of Bali. Firstly,
as she as she dilly dallied, dilly dallied.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, you remember I didn't want to go on holiday
with them because at that point I hated them, which
is actually the reason you need to go on a
holiday with them. Because now you.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Love your photos, will love you're sending us picks.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You all looked so beautiful. We had the most fun.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You know what you do well, which no family can
do well. You can get photos with your kids who
don't look like they want to kill themselves that they're
getting a photo with the family. You guys, go alright
with that.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
On the holiday Vibe, there was one photo in which
all six of us were smiling and look like we
were having good time.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Heard of. That is a family miracle. We all went
on a big, big family trip years ago to Vietnam
for Dad's sixtieth or fiftieth. Let's take him back to
the war, so we say he was in the wars. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he got his scripted again. He was on the tanks
because he was a mechanic. So Dad got conscripted to
the Vietnam War. He was very young. It was twenty one.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh my goodness, that's like that song Vietnam War which
one do they called no No. I was only nineteen.
He was two years old. And that is that Goanna. Anyway,
it doesn't matter, as.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
You dilly, so we all went on the point. Was
not a single family photo where six of us are
looking happy to be there? Not one.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, it's very hard to do. No.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
One was a photo with parents? No, and it's the siblings. Actually,
if mum and dad were like that a photo, it's
not as bad. But what was there ringing in all
of you?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh way, has he finished?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Nope, as you, dilly dallied. The flights to Bali had
skyrocketed and it was difficult to keep them within your budget,
not his. Oh he did add beggars car choosers. Should
I read that bit?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I just did.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Who we use the beggar?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Kids?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
And finally, so from here on out, I resign as
miss Lame Brooks travel Agent and I look forward to
future time consuming and stressful arrangements and decisions being made
by her. Oh he'd never let me do that.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh my goodness, my husband's are serve himself.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Thank you by Kaed Pete.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
By the looks of it, this trip was a hit.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
The trip was a hit, But the photo that you're
referring to was taking You're on the staircase.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah before Yeah, I've.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Got and I'll put it on mine as well. It
was taken before the kids realized what was entailed in
their return flight home.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
They didn't know yet.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No, okay, So so Peter Allen Lewis fourteen hours to
Barly via Scoot Airline. He says to himself, hold my beer,
Oh my god, more than fourteen Guess how long it
took the children A We thought he thought that they
(21:17):
were leaving at one pm, but it was one am
in the morning. Oh that's just how Yeah, okay, so
they're leaving one am in the morning.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
We'll hang on hotel checkouts ten am.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Oh no, but we got locker, we.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Got it's going to say.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
But also we'd booked the rooms an extra day, as
it turned out, because we thought he thought the travel agent.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Thought you're extravel agent.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Ext anyway, and then there was this terrible moment of
confusion when Lewis goes, when are we leaving, dad, and
Peter goes, look it up.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I've sent you the it and it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Says one.
Speaker 4 (21:54):

Is not lunchtime?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
On time's thirteen yep, one hundred pm. That annoys me too, by.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
The really, I hate that twenty four hour clock.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Pull your finger on everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So I guess how long it took them to fly
back from Barley. So on the way over he managed
to get fourteen hours.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
It's the layover that kills people.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Guess how long I'm going to get away home?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
You were going up to seventeen here, now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You're cracking twenty. I think it took them twenty two hours?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Are you sure it was a book? Was it a boat?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
They this time had an eight hour layover in Singapore,
nearly twice the time it takes to fly to Barley.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
With your siblings. So that's stuck in Singapore airport with
That's right. What they do?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Okay? They went and to pop Eyes and got chicken.
They watched them footy that was on. Yeah, because we
could see on the family group chat.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Someway were lying down at home.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
We were enjoying our last day in Balley without them,
and you could we could see their messages. I'm already
at the gate. That Sunday who arrived at the gate
four hours before the plane was going to leave.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What you want?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And then but she's just slept wherever she was. But
had we taken the photo when that news had broken,
there were a couple of grim moments. But that's my
former travel agent, so I'm now officially soliciting. There'd be
some beautiful Buckwhet travel agents, listen.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I offended some of them a while ago when I said,
it's a job that you don't need anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
You could be my travel agent.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I'm quite good. I am quite good.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Do you know we could break you.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I think you would break me. There's not a doubt
in my mind that you would break me. But I'm
still very good at it. And you're here, and you're ten,
and you're alone, and we're so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And at one point when the kids were really not
happy and I was that we got such mileage out
of it. Everyone we spoke to couldn't believe it. And
some we were talking to, some people who fly from
Europe to Barley and they still got I can't believe
taking so long. Peter said to me, I've just about
(24:15):
had enough of this. And I said to him, Darling,
you can't be the person that books these flights and
then also has enough of it. Both things can't be true.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
In this case has closed your home. Now it's because
school holidays went but yes, school went back yesterday.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yes, right, school went back. Yes, my husband went to school.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
He's back at work. Life returns. I think for some
friends I have not mentioning names. I think they're calmer
and more relaxed when school goes back. Oh, everyone everyone
is okay. I don't know, we don't have kids.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Everyone is, except for if you make lunches.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Okay, lunches. Sorry, I just assumed that parents wanted the
kids that they have.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Mate, And you know what all you can do is imagine,
So imagine away, my friends.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
It's hey. I used to have a stand up bit
about when people say do you want kids like you
literally just go and talk to any of your friends
in the middle of the school holidays. That'll make you
so true.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Come on, it's so true.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It's almost like you guys want them and then you're
furious when you have to hang out with them.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But also it's like me trying to get fit.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Didn't disagree over there, head, no.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
But we all know that. Okay. So here's the thing
in life. Everything good is hard.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
God, you're so right.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Everything you name one thing that's good that isn't hard.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Hello, go on one thing that's good, that's not hard.
It's really I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, and I'm not talking about good as in things sugar. Yeah,
but that's not good for you. Yeah, that's actually bad,
but temporarily it feels good. But anything that's good for you,
character building, souls strengthening, you're coming back to do the world,
trying to get do the work, and having children is
(26:04):
under that category. So it is not for the fainthearted,
the lazy, the self indulgent.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Whatever, but weird. Your eye contact became quite intense.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And even if you start off like that, which of
course I did, you soon realize that if it's a
if it's a job that you are going to commit
yourself to, you have to divest yourself of those selfish
attributes at some point to do it properly. Some people
never do. But it is also the greatest for.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
An outside I feel like you're explaining what it takes
to be a mother, because from my experience, I think
everything you've just explained to me, you've explained most women,
and I know most mums in my life. There's a few.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Dads that I know that any of that no, no,
but look at the email you just got from a father.
Look at the email from the father of for Do
you know what I mean? So it's just it's you know,
you like to say two things can be true.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
They can. Oh yeah, yeah that's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, a bad bad, bad bad bad bad.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
But you know I was watching you in bed the
other night. How does that make you feel? I shot
you off a little text? Did you what's been gay
Christmas for the last week? Because Madonna's new album has
come out?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And is it good?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And that's very good?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh, I'm so.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Madge has done it. I'm so Nana's back man is
back on the on the disco. Some of it, Okay, look,
you don't want to be this person, do you? The
album is genuinely.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Great, but maybe are you saying watching without the visuals some.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Of the visuals also some of them, Oh yeah, some
of them are great.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I just saw something she released I'm Square where she slack?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, that's what I was going to bring up to
launch the album. She did a free concert in the
middle of time Square and it was amazing. Thousands of
people there of course like perfect just see the queen,
and there was a moment and the songs are great.
It's her best album in like twenty years ever. All
the review disc Disco, all the review, all the reviews,
(28:16):
blah blah blah. She's back, the Queen is back, right,
but she launches the help Yeah, and she looks awesome.
But there was a moment where she got a little
bit excited as she went to the very very edge
of the stage, which is up on level twenty of
this massive building, puts her leg over this glass and
(28:36):
there was a collective of like twenty thousand gays in
the middle of the square. But then they hit her.
You see her go, what am I doing here? I
am missed, I missed up. So she has to bring
her seeing up.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
She had a short skirt on and you could see up.
You could certainly what she I'm hoping that they were
frilly knickers because I think they were. Yeah, good, because
otherwise there's otherwise there's some anatomical mishap going on underneath.
But her leg kind of was it stuck there?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think it was. We were we were seconds away
from mere seconds away from disaster. But Madge had this,
She had the smarts to go no not yet, so
she brought the leg back in.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, I love her.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
She bought the leg back in and it was a
very fun But I was reminded. I just was reminded. Okay,
it's such I mentioned this to you often. It's still
one of the weirdest things that this one of the
biggest pop icons of all time. I looking that, Madge,
It's Madonna, Elvis, Michael Jackson. There's not that many in
her category still with us.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Well, she's the only one.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
She's the one from the ones who just okay, well,
there's a couple more of the old rockers that are
still around. He's gone, Whitney's gone. Yeah, you sat down
with Madonna for half an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It's going to get caught.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
No, I know. Okay, let me just quickly say this.
Don't cut it. So are YouTube and I watched it
again in fall.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I just watched Goodness.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
In full. Three things We're moving on. She liked you.
She doesn't like people, no, no, stressed down off people,
doesn't suffer fools, doesn't like repeat questions. She can tell
when someone hasn't done their research or hasn't listened to
the album. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
She's exacting.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
She was into Kate Lainbrook.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Let's watch it.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
It's really good.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Okay, I'm going to tell you the backstory of that.
You can cut this Stash and Jack, in fact, Jack
who's listening to this even as we say we can't
cut it now, No he can't, but he was the one.
So what happened was when I did that interview, and
I think I told you this, I had to go
to some private club in the middle of London. I'd
(30:50):
flown over from Italy where we were living. I'd had
two and a half days where I just basically was
prepping because I knew all of the above about Madonna,
and also it wasn't going to be a musical interview.
It was about her. But I knew that she's someone
who can close the door on you really suddenly, and
if she closed a door, I wanted to have another
(31:12):
daughter offer her right, that's the thing for an interview anyway.
So I'd stayed in my room swatting, I didn't see
any of London, and we went out at night. The
interview was supposed to be eight o'clock. It kept getting
pushed back, push back, pushback. It ended up being eleven
thirty by the time I got into the room with her,
(31:34):
I was so faint with hunger and I think general
because there was this peaking anxiety around her, and there
were journalists from around the world waiting to do interviews
with her, and some of them were so I understand
why she's intolerant as she is, because people were saying
that there was a girl in front of me going,
do you like me jumpsuit? I warrant because I thought
(31:55):
Madonna would like it, you know, stuff like that. But
I'm just like mate, less about you, more about the
queen right for me, for mine anyway, And there were
people that didn't speak English that so she had to
feel anyway whatever. However, when I got in there, I
was so faint that I could not remember one word
(32:19):
of what happened in that room other than my opening
gamb but to her, which was she was talking to
all the people around the world, she goes, now, we've
got an Australian as well, because we got and then
she started listing off everyone in the room and there
was a you know, Madonna was doing Dominican Republic. He's
from the Dominican like she knew everybody right at the
(32:40):
camera guarded the sound guy, her makeup artist, her whatever.
She said. Now we got an Australian as well, and
I said to her, this is the last thing I
remember of the interview. Where in the world do you
think you come from? Right? Because she's lived sort of anyway.
I can't even remember what years. It's right, that's right anyway.
So then the conversation started. After it, I was working
(33:03):
with a producer that I don't normally work with from
the radio station. He was Australian, but he was there
and afterwards he didn't say anything to me, like he
said nothing, and I was like, oh my goodness, that
must have been so terrible. It was going to be
played on Hughes's in my show, and Jack, who works
on this, who edits these, was going to do the edit.
(33:25):
And so I contacted Jack and I said, Jack, I'm
so sorry, I'm so humiliated. This is going to be
so terrible. I said, if there's a way that you
can pad it out, like get past clips of her singing,
or just cut it up and then just cut it
up to the bone, just so we've got something that
(33:47):
we can play.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Tom fun because this one producer didn't say anything because I.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Was so light he didn't. I think I remember anything.
All I do remember is that they said to me
at the end. Her manager said to me, don't ask
her for a foldo. If she wants a foldole, she'll
tell you, right. She said that too, like a group
of us, right. And I was so I didn't even think.
I was sort of light headed. And I stood up
to leave, and she goes keep keep and she's standing
(34:14):
by the fireplace, very small, She's tiny, and I remember
she said we got to get a photo. So I'm like, oh, okay,
just sort of go over. I'm very dazed. And then
I remember feeling this thing around my waist and it
was her tiny, little gloved hand.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
So I thought I thought it got felt up by
the Queen of pop.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It could have been a sympathy cuddle.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
No anywhere, She's too busy for sympathy.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
When I sent that message to Jack, I was so sick.
I hardly slept that night. I was just like, I've
really like screwed.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I take things like that like I want them to
be good. Ye. You know, there's a lot of people
in our business who don't care about where the stuff is.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Let's not kick, let's not kick off on that. No,
but that's just a controller in our.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Me anyway, that's another app. So the next morning I
woke up to I think a voicemail from Jack or
maybe a text message, and I was just so sick.
I think I've probably only had about three hours sleep.
And it said, oh my goodness, I have listened to
this interview not once, but several times. I don't know
(35:20):
what you were worried about. I actually think it's fantastic.
It's so fantastic. I'm not even going to cut anything
out of it. And I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
And just so you know, not just Jack, not just me.
The comments underneath this video on YouTube are like, I've
never heard Madonna speak so openly, or oh my god,
these two have such good chemistry. All these random Madonna
fans love it as well. This is the most this
is the most relaxed I've ever seen Madonna in an interview.
That Okay, so I now vote I'm never proud of you,
(35:49):
but that moment.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But isn't that the buck up? That's the buck up
that so much of what we think about ourselves is
just going on in our tiny pea brains, where some
of the is a bit more pee than others, but
the reality of it was so distant from what I
(36:15):
had perceived.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
She was wearing a body eye patch and you still
did a professional.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Jobs breakdown Dicus in sash Before I went in there
because it was her madamex Era, I said, if she's
wearing the eye patch, all, I'm not going to be
able to handle it. And there she was with her
one eye. It was really terrifying. While it's gone, suck
up paper, don't doubt yourself.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
When you're interviewing Madonna.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Just lean into it. It's gonna love you, yea. But
either way she will have a feeling.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
One of the best old like old school Hollywood couples.
It doesn't happen anymore with the drama. Was her and
Sean pen remember.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
The when they were married or married a chair he did?
I think that was sexual. They would have had mad.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
I think he could have gone out at their wedding
to get rid of the to get rid of the police.
Are the media helicopters? Yeah, I think he got a
gun out.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Okay, all right, because I can only think of one
other couple that would have had that Hella sexual. They
would have had you know who it is such buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Go and Tommy, it's a good one.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Good one.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Who Angelina and brad in the mister and missus Smith Era.
That would have been some mad It.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Was an affair, right, yeah, because you were terrible.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I'm so sorry still, Jen, Yeah, r I P. But
remember there was some story about because I think she
just adopted the first one, the eldest one, what's his
name whatever, Maddox Maddox. And remember there was a story
that they were staying in some isolated retreat in Cambodia
(38:13):
or whatever. Well maybe they were in Africa at this way,
I can't remember, but it was an isolated and they
were in some sort of hut, some buret or whatever
down by I think a river or whatever. And of
course they've got security guards walking around, and a security
guard I think was alarmed by the sounds that he
(38:33):
was hearing. Okay, but it turned out they were just
enjoying each other. Ok So, can you imagine he's a
security guard on an animal reservation. You've been on safari,
I sure have What sounds did you hear?
Speaker 4 (38:52):
I was crying most of the time, So the sounds
of me crying in the African jungle.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
This is a guy who's used to hearing those sounds.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
And even he was like, he was going, He's like,
what is this?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I need to sound the alarm. But it was just
them in the early throes of them.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
It doesn't happen anymore. In this world of celebrity. There
is not that nuh the fiery couple where their story
is going around and paparazzimping out having a sexual energy,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I don't think people are as sexual as they used
to be.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
I feel that there's a lot more fake couples now
just for promo, and a lot of people are pretending
to be together and they're not just to they've got
to move to promote. It doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
A girlfriend of mine once said to me, and she
worked at the strips, not as a stripper, but she
worked with a lot of strippers, and she said to me,
a lot of them they expend so much energy on
projecting this sexual for their work, but she said, in
real life, they have no desire for sex. And I
think that's like maybe what people are like now because
(39:59):
so this much performative stuff, you know online, everyone's like,
look up, my big ted ass, that's why wouldn't you
like a better That's.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
True, that's just alone.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
But I think that when you're projecting everything like that externally,
that maybe you don't even really like you don't like it,
and that's why we're missing that. We don't have one.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Bring it, bring it back, bring it back, bring it,
bring it back to me. You really do meloko, Meloco maloko.
You really do sing off key. It's quite a skill.
You have this incredible skill of singing a song, you
(40:42):
staying the same key, but it's always just the wrong one.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
It's really good one.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
No, I don't that's the got there eventually. But Brad
Pitt shout out one of the best facelifts I've seen
in quite some time.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Look the guy on TikTok faces. He got a great
face left. He's looking real good. He's looking real good.
I saw Angelina Joli in an interview this week say
that she thinks she's going to die young. She thinks
she's always believed that she's not long for this earth.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Well, the way that she lived when she was younger,
I can understand that, so maybe you.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Know she's calm right down, what what's going on? You're right, everyone's.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Boring, okay, So with her, I never think she gets
enough acknowledgment of this, right, Remember when she found out
she had the bracker Jean.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Oh, right, and she had the surgery, Yeah, surgery's surgeries.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
She had her ovaries removed and her two breasts removed, right, Like,
this is so extreme and it basically she must have
gone smack bang into menopause, right, There is never any
acknowledgment of that at all, where people are going, she's mad,
she's she's a I remember hearing an interview where someone
(42:00):
asked her a question and she said, to be honest,
I haven't really felt like myself for the last few years.
I don't know what it is. And I'm like, I
know what it is, yeah, right, and any doctor would
know what it is. But no one ever really acknowledges
that she had this massive like you couldn't have a
greater physical trauma enacted upon yourself. Basically, all her womanly
(42:27):
parts were removed and rebuilt. Like that's forlorn, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
And people always want to act like what a buck?
Speaker 2 (42:36):
No, no, But but people always well, it was a
buck because she did it to stay alive.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
She did so, I'm still.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yes, but no wonder after that that things went a
bit slippery with a brand pit and he was in
the turps and bashing kids in a plane. I don't
know what's going.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Hey, he's got some new woman twenty something, of course,
some tiny new young thing. He was at Wimbledon. It's
my feet. I'm very busy.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
I think she's not without accomplishment. Is she an architect
or something starch or an art collector something?
Speaker 4 (43:12):
Sorry, I know, but it would if it was.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
When it's a madonna. This is interesting, and we're not
the first to make this point. When it's a madonna,
it's an object of mockery that she's always with one
of her younger dances when it's with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
Somehow heroes amongst us?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 4 (43:29):
Would have stud?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
That's that's really that?
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Am I stud?
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Who me?
Speaker 4 (43:37):
Said? Am I start? I was just a question. No,
you know you you are's the biggest no ever heard?
What a fuck? What the nineties Hollywood couples? I buck
up about old people?
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Well, you know, we love, we love, we haven't saluted
the aged for a while, and listen.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Into the we spoke about Madonna for a bit. What
that you're being agents? That's a negative? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
When we talk about the aged, how old is Madonna?
Don't even worry about it?
Speaker 4 (44:12):
Sixty something? Okay, second or third? First album of all times?
We are celebrated.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Now how old she is? Really? Are we? You know what?
You know that what you said is wrong? What you
know that that's not respectful to this?
Speaker 4 (44:30):
I don't got back, I don't know day license, yeah, correct?
Speaker 2 (44:34):
And what about me? What about referring to her flinging
a leg over that.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
That was hoping really underwear?
Speaker 2 (44:42):
When you can drop that when we're talking about the agent.
Normally we're talking about the oldies and their secret to
living longer and how it annoys us. But one of
the ogs, it's not many of them that you know
their names, But do you remember Jean Calmont? Do you
remember that name? For a long time, she was the
(45:02):
eldest in the world, the oldest in the world. She
was the French one.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
I think, to be fair, you called bullshit on it
and wanted to see proof because you.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Know, no, I think she was dead before we start.
She was the famous old one. Now we couldn't name
one of them, but for some reason she popped up
a lot in the news. Anyway, this is a very
interesting thing about her. She was, she lived okay. So
what she did was, you know that, you know how
you can do that thing if you're old, that you
can sell your house to someone and you have a
(45:34):
living mortgage or a reverse mortgage or whatever, so you
can sell. If you're old and you need the pensions
not enough, you can sell your house to some avaricious
kind of you know, crocodile real estate agent who goes,
I'll give you the money for your house. Now, I'll
pay you. Now you get this chunk of change. You
can live in it until you die. Right. She did
(45:59):
this with her lawyer when she was ninety. Say the
name again, Jean Jean Calmont. She sold her house at
the age of ninety to her lawyer m Rafray. Under
the contract, she could live in the house until she
died and receive twenty five hundred francs per month from
(46:21):
Him's not bad. She went on to live to one
hundred and twenty two years of age. She outlived the
lawyer whoa. She saw him off, and this is the
bit where I'm just like, lady, you are you are
(46:42):
pure aged royalty. She stopped smoking at one hundred and seventy.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
J sums, making a pretty penny off her house, and
she was still there bagging away.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Imagine the lawyer at one instead. At one point he
would have been like, maybe I need to man.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Things are embarrassing that shouldn't be. Yes, it isn't that
lovely that of all the things we bang on, I've
got one great give me your so that the buckheads
slide into our d M. Yes they do, and they're
so welcome to read. And that's lovely.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
How did they contact us?
Speaker 4 (47:23):
Dm us on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (47:25):
On Facebook? So straight Facebook, we have a face, but
a book we do? We have on Facebook? Now a
lot of people are they I've never been on it.
Dolan Brook the smoker? Why why what are you beating
that drum?
Speaker 4 (47:47):
We'll move on. I don't know what you need you
need to see? Go on, John, John, John. This is
very oddly specific. But God is not wrong. Okay, He's
not wrong. Things that are embarrassing that shouldn't be taking
off a hoodie in public.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Ah fills me with terror.
Speaker 4 (48:13):
Oh, it's temporarily blind. Your other shirt, I might be
everything exposing Flasha. If it gets stuck or something, I'll
be there flailing around.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yes, and if you're a woman trying to extract yourself
hoody hair when it all comes off at.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
The end, He's absolutely right on, John.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Do you know what is an oracle about time you reckon?
Speaker 4 (48:37):
He's a smoker?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Oh? I love him?
Speaker 4 (48:38):
No? No, maybe maybe? Actually my things are embarrassing that
shouldn't be is clothes related, So it's all linking. Let's
pretend we planned it that way.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Okay, what is that?
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Things that are embarrassing that shouldn't be walking into a
shop wearing something from that shop, from that shop, that's
so embarrassing. Happened to me last week.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
How funny. When my girlfriend Alis and I were going
shopping the other week, I actually got changed because we
were going into Zara and I was wearing a Zara top.
Now that's so ludicrous, so embarrassing. Not being able to
go into Bonds wearing a T shirt. It's just ridiculous,
but I had to do it.
Speaker 4 (49:15):
Zara is better for women's clothing than men. They're not
nail and men's clothings.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
Aren't they?
Speaker 4 (49:20):
But I would just know they're just it's not good.
I try every time I go, no, I'm going to
give them a crack.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
What would you like from them?
Speaker 4 (49:27):
Just to be better fitting, just a bit nicer.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Have you tried the boys department?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
My one was My one was a godsend to all
men on earth? Unicloth I walked into Uniclone and looked
at one of the dummies and went, is that me?
We're wearing the same jacket, mortifying?
Speaker 2 (49:49):
I love it?
Speaker 4 (49:50):
What did men do? What did men do before? Unicloth?
I tell you, I don't know if this is it's
not a sponsor. I don't know how they closed made
they closed.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Me big girlfriends and their mothers and maybe their gay
boyfriends got their stuff for them.
Speaker 4 (50:05):
It's just the basics. And she might not a Friday outfits. Yeah,
hop off to fellas, get in there. Is it good
for women?
Speaker 2 (50:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (50:12):
Not really?
Speaker 2 (50:13):
Yeah, I think it is. I mean it's not me.
It's not a me sort of store.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
Just what's that navy blue? What's that mustard? Tech star?
Speaker 2 (50:24):
You've just described her whole color palette and the word utilitarian.
It's like it's so she's like her eyes of lit up,
and then of course she gets to play her favorite
roll of the dice game societal roll of the dice
in my lesbian You tell me that's how she travels
(50:46):
through life if she's like dressed far.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
I just feel when things are a little bit too cheap,
but check out, I do get hit with a stub
of guilt about what about what has gone on for
this to be this price? What is happened along this journey?
Who was exploited at some point? The other day I
went in there. I had to get two very basic things,
two T shirts. Walked out twenty six bucks or something.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
I thought, and I thought, so many that cheap?
Speaker 4 (51:12):
I thought, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's that cheap.
That's how cheap it is. Yes, you see what I mean.
Something's okay, I shouldn't be this cheap.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Okay, all right, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (51:22):
Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (51:23):
I really have an issue with a four dollars T shirt?
And I'm like, this is not possible without some form
of slavery.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
Well, I'm more comfortable now with I'm more comfortable with
the microplastic vibe than I am with the slavery vibe.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
Are you so, I'd rather have the pure cotton. I'd
rather have the pure we.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
Go they have you. No, no, no, I'm saying, if
there's a discount, I'm hoping it's because I made of plastic.
I'm hoping my clothes are made out of old water bottles.
That's why it's cheap, not because some person made them
and they shouldn't be making it. Do you get what
I'm getting at?
Speaker 2 (51:59):
I sort of, But I also think there's probably quite
a lot of work in turning a bottle into a jacket.
I would say these bowl work than just turning cotton.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
A boat of cotton maybe. But Yeah, something popped up
on my Instagram a couple of weeks ago about how
all the clothing I just pumped with plastic.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yes, sush, we're not supposed to be wearing stretch craft.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
Going to kill you.
Speaker 2 (52:27):
Well, I've been looking on Well they say the combination
of sweat, which I now do in which I haven't
done for a long like ever, the combination of sweat
and and microplastics.
Speaker 4 (52:42):
It's not goodtrating little skin opens up and then it
goes in.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Also, I've been googling natural cotton exercise were or wool.
Speaker 4 (52:54):
Which is what they used to wear in the old
A new person.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
No, it's not possible. Oh it's not actually not possible
unless we're all going to get about like like cyclists
from the Tour de France in eighteen hundred and ninety five.
By the way, here's a little here's a little note
of interest about the Tour de France. Because you know,
my husband, I'm from a travel agent.
Speaker 4 (53:16):
Not kicking off where it normally does.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
He loved the Tour de France. Do you know in
the when the Tour de France started, they used to
stop for lunch and guess no more lunch, guess what
They drank wine at lunch. Wow, isn't that amazing the French.
Speaker 4 (53:36):
They don't do that anymore. No, I don't. Now they've
got that motorbike that rides next to them and they
hand out the drink that's not wine, and sometimes it
goes wrong and they grab that. Yeah, Cody and Pete
would genuinely be good friends if they if we ever
allowed them to hang out without it less they were
on the same side of the town. If we let
them be together without us controlling the situation, they'd be
(53:56):
very good friends. They don't we I'm not allowing that
because I'll start a podcast.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
And I've got a have we got an opening.
Speaker 4 (54:06):
We're getting r I'm.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
Giving you a text from mum. It's a text from
I am so in love with this. This is from Naomi.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
Hello Naomi.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
She's a buckwheat.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
We love that.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
A buck knuckle, a buckstickle.
Speaker 4 (54:21):
Buckstick buckhead. There you go, helped.
Speaker 2 (54:25):
It's a text from her Nana. She's ninety five, probably
a smoker, trying to wring you. Grandpa is not well,
still alive, not dead, so do not come today. He
looks like he looks like a very high fever and
coughing non stop, still in bed. I could not talk
(54:47):
to him, no hearing aids room in terrible mess. Your
mum was going to come last evening, but when she
got home from the doctor Basle the dog was having
a fit, had to rush to vet. She will be
lost without him if he has to be put down.
So no good news here today. Don't think of coming today.
(55:08):
Love Nana, Kiss, kids, Kiss.
Speaker 4 (55:10):
It's a text. A lot going on there. Oh now
I'm thinking about Buzzle. We'll be thinking about Buzzle all day.
Speaker 2 (55:20):
Why are we thinking about Grandpa.
Speaker 4 (55:22):
I couldn't pick up She's not thrilled that he's still
alive as well.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
Do you know what I did wonder that? But do
you know what I think? I think when your end
of days with someone that you love, you go from
this is what happened to me with my dad, right,
You go from praying that they will stay to hoping
(55:48):
that they will go.
Speaker 4 (55:49):
That's the old pimate.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
That's the ultimate in loving someone is being able to
let them go. I know, isn't that? Isn't that? But
that is part of the beauty of life. You can't
love someone more than being prepared to let them go,
even though you want them to stay. And I would
like to think this is what Nana thinks about grandfather.
(56:12):
Of course she could just hate him. Like Peter's grandma
left his grandfather when they were in the retirement home.
She was ninety three and he was ninety five, and
she said to Peter's mom, he was a tough old thing.
Who knows how he was raised, but whatever, she'd had
(56:32):
a really hard life with him. And she said to
Marie when she was like ninety four, I've had the
happiest year of my life and he used to try,
and they were in the same retirement home. They had
to move them to separate rooms, and he used to
try and trip her up with his wak so she'd
stop and talk to him.
Speaker 4 (56:50):
It's all it's all on.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
Don't think that because people are old, they're different to us.
Speaker 4 (56:56):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
Call bad, bad, bad, a bat a bed.
Speaker 4 (57:05):
All those are over, folks. Life's returned.
Speaker 2 (57:09):
Life has returned, and let us seize it and suck
the marrow out.
Speaker 4 (57:14):
Of the bow. Next week, we need to talk about
your update the mountain climbing. We didn't touch on it.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
Oh dear, well wait, I'm so sick about it.
Speaker 4 (57:23):
No cliff hanger, Okay next week.
Speaker 2 (57:26):
The buck Up podcast is hosted by me Kate Langbrook
and him Nathan Valvo. It's produced by the brilliant Sasha French.
Audio and sound by the magnificent Yack Lawrence you might
call him Jack and Dom Evans. Oh we're lucky.
H 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
(00:21):
is a place of paradox of beauty and cruelty.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It will cut you off.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
With the knees, then gift you a pair of easies.
And that, my friends, is why you always always need
a buck up.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Bab ba b b b by bye bye bye, bad
bad bad bad bad bae bye a my co host.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Relaxed about a tracksuit.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Tracksuit.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You have come in holiday mode. I love it. I
am so post pool hair.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yep, yeah, nothing's been I've collapsed like the Twin Towers.
And yet I like to think, never look better.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You look better than rubble.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Look looking at myself through holiday eyes. Sorry to people
who have been grinding it out without a holiday. I e.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
This guy sitting right here.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Your life is like a holiday. That's right, you haven't
had a holiday.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I have no holiday. I'm over here winter cold and flu.
You're over there in.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
BALI lapping it up, chock full of vitamin D.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
You've got a lot of D. I can tell, which is,
as we know.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Not a vitamin. It's actually a hormone, okay, that facilitates
every bodily function, every single one of them. And you
know who else has come back chock full of vit D.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And sushi and sushi all the way from Japan.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And Sasha French, the greatest producer.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
In the land. Here got Barley over here. Me. I've
just been here in gray, dark, rainy Melbourne. And by
the way, you chose the right week to go away.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It has been absolutely freezing, so bitterly cold down here
down south. Do you know the thing what I love
about weather is what but weather reduces all of us
(02:37):
to basic common denominators, right, It's.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
The great equalizer, It really is. Well I said that
about weather.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
There's some standard, some standards that people like to mock,
but they're actually so one of them, of course, that
we're not getting to employ it at the moment.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Is hot enough for you, God enough for you up north?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
But this one that I have been using with my
family would say, monotonous regularity is dropping it. Oh, it's
snowing somewhere, because it's so cold.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
It's snowing somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Snow You think you could do better.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think you could do better if it's freezing cold.
I feel like you got I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You know it's true, you know what the great corrector?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Oh you don't like snowing? That it is, by the way,
Well it must be, didn't I see footage the other
day of all the snowfields looking grim.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That was a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Maybe it's snowing now. It must be, And we hope
some and if you, hey, if you're employed in that,
we hope it's snowing. We hope you're a buckhead up
in those parts. And if you need to be snowing
a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Money on a season lift pass, uh huh, very expensive.
I hope you're getting your money's worth.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
This won't shock you at all. You're ready, Okay, you've
never been to the snow lot? Twist, I love skiing.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Isn't a snow monkey, he's.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
He's gone to the snow.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
That's how your relationship. Is he a border or a skier? Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I think a border, but I'm sure he's done both.
It's very political, you know, to decide which one borders
harder than skis? Which surprises me? Someone so but not
if you grow.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Up with it, I think. But once I watch people
trying to get up from a snowboard. I realized my
only chance I had was skiing.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Okay, me with a board strapped to my feet, go
on down a mountain.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, it's not you. In fact, nothing that involves momentum.
And I refer to your career as.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You have nailed that.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
As I say that, however, not.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
A fat of momentum.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
However, the first time I think I ever went sk
was that with you, Sash, when we went on out.
And okay, this won't surprise you, but who in this
room of Pope is an expert ski?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Little snow bunny she grew up.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's a popular pastime on the South Island.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
It's that's that's where I was. I've been in the snow,
and that's where I was in the snow properly was
when we went and did New Zealand a few years ago. Right,
But you weren't And it wasn't It wasn't ski places
we went to. It was just a snowy part of
the adventure.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But then people trick you into this is like the
worst thing. When people go put on some snowshoes and
we'll do a what's it called? When they just walk
over the snow, but you're doing like a trick a walk.
I don't know, it's you know what I like about
the snow the fashion. Of course, I've got a terrible
(05:54):
snow bunny fantasy.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I get that. Yes, the big jackets, and also some
like do you like also tight down the bottle? Tight
down the bott No, you know what I like, furry
little rave down the bottom, like like leg warms warm
was on the ankles and then and then a little
roughly short.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This is hot, a little roughly short, and maybe some
kind of.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
You really thought, how was just you and Sash on
this holiday? I have some questions and.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
A half brow house top, you know, like you want
to try my pork knockle with some surah crut.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
You know that I like the inside part of it,
looking out of the snow, the fires on I.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Like aside, you like inside anywhere you're not an outdoor
and I like all of that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, so we should go.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But do you do indoors? What did? Because you don't
particularly like to eat and you don't particularly like to drink.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
By the way, the blackheads need to know this. This
is a Kate Lainbrook offering for food at eleven am
for our record, A jar of olives.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's not an a and Pecorino romano.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
How are you going to eat that?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I'm going to go get a knife, and then Sasha
and I gonna have chunks of it. We're all going
to yell at me about well, you know why I
couldn't get a cracker because guess why? Because I'm like
you with full anno with carbs. You are so anna.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I'm not Anna.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
My girlfriend Georgie, by the way, this is just you know,
attitude is everything. Years ago, she was in Adelaide and
she was in a you know, they had the concept
that's very lucky your friend. Yeah, they had the concept
still of like a boutique that's owned by a person,
so it has stuff that's like not in a chain
(07:55):
chain of boutiques, you know what I mean. So she
was in there and this guy was helping her, gay
guy Fabo with the with the with some jeans and
he said when she tried them on, she said, are
these mutton dressed as lamb? And he said, no, dull
even better your full hogg. It so a hogg it
(08:17):
is apparently what's between mutton and lamb? Right, So she said,
of course, I boy, is it a compliment?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, it is all right.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And then the other thing she tried on something else
and he said, oh my god, you look full, Anno,
and she went had to buy them as well.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
So he's a good salesman.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So let's steal retrospective track a bang.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh please, I'm got Anno for saying no to olives
and cheese at eleven am on a Monday with no cracker,
with no cracker.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
No you raw dog and olives, raw dogging olives. Come on,
I really wanted those black Spanish olives. I love them.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
They didn't have them.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Cool story.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
This is like we're also you're sending photos of toilets
to us just before we press to.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Pick up a toilet I had because I'm coming.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I have so much to do.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No one can begrudge me anything.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
I certainly can't, because mate, I am.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
In full service most of the time. I've had two
weeks off.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
You've gone from barley to picking up a toilet.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, and I made dinner last sud.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I made a sud. That is a thud. Who's not
delivering a toilet?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
By No, it was I'm sure the server right, No,
it was a secondhand. Oh my god, it's from Maria
who does my nails. Oh, she's putting in a new bathroom.
But they're immaculate because they're Greek.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Okay, love a toilet.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Getting a toilet from Greeks or Italians, even if they've
had it for ten years, they go big on the bathroom.
It's like getting a brand new It'd be cleaner than
I would get from Bunny.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
If you ever drive past the house, they've got statues
in the front yard, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Anyway, so I had to say I had to drive
Peter's nutbus to pick up the toilet because stop lost
in I know, no, no, no, I'm more intrigued in
a conversation between two people where it becomes oh.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I'll have the toilet. Oh are you getting rid of it?
I'll come and get it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Actually, Okay. So Maria who does my nails, it's been
an ongoing thing. She works from her home and down
like downstairs where you wash your hands. She's got a
little bathroom and she was doing it up. She actually
just randomly said to me one day, Oh, we've got
to get rid of anything you don't want to you
don't want to toilet do you? And I said, as
(10:44):
a matter of fact, I do want a toilet.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
But stop again, what about you? Did she think she
needs a toilet? Like she's picked up a vibe from
you that you're a bad toilet? What is a good toilet?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Okay, we've can textualized my husband, Peter Allen Lewis.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We're getting to him in a minute.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Okay. So the context for him is he's a man
who decides to have the first family holiday with our
four children in four years, and he books them to
Bali on a fourteen hour flight to save money. So
the backstory to the toilet is Lewis lives in the bungalow.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Behind our house, the dream Spot, and because.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Our house was not owned by Italians or before, but
not if you saw the toilet, the toilet is so
horrendous that I thought it was really deeply stained, but
it wasn't. What whatever has happened out there, whatever demons
were living out there, goblins underworld characters, uh huh, they
(11:51):
have somehow whatever their ablutions were, eaten away the enamel
from the inside of the toilet, so that it's perpetual.
It's so disgusting. And I said to Peter. At one point,
Lewis needs a new toilet, goes, you need a new
toilet for who's leaving rent free to inside, but you still.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
But also, toilets are not that expensive.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
That's what I say. I can actually go get a
toilet for three hundred dollars or in my case.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Chat we're having for free.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Nothing.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
I got it. That's so great, I got it for free.
I just think I used toilet. This is the first
time in my forty two years on Earth, I'm hearing
a friend tell me they got a secondhand toilet.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Right, Can I tell you this? My dad tell me
every time you go to a restaurant and.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
You use the toilet more than second, it's a used toilet,
and not only.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That, it's a deeply used toilet. Yeah, that's just let's
be realistic about it.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So I won't have you mocking me for my used
toilet then, Peter, of course, because you had to yuck
my he goes. I hope it fits in the same
footprint as the original toilets.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I did think that. I don't know how it works.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I don't know either. Anyway, I'm rolling the dice. I've
got the toilet. It's in the back of the nut bus.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Along with that, you bought over olives and cheese and
a secondhand toilet in the same car.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Anyway, the first time I injured myself skiing, I was
with Sasha French.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
You went down and on skis or the board on.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Skis, uh huh, and I fell so deep into it,
I'm going to say, a flurry of snow that Sasha French,
all four foot of her, had to try to haul
me out of this deep. It was also not helped
by the fact that I'd injured my shoulder.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
From the same trip, the same four all in the
one fall.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It won't surprise you that I fall heavily. Anyway, Sash
was there trying to lift me out of the snow flurry.
And did you have to get help? Yes? Do you
have to ask a stranger?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Where are we?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Where is this somewhere in Victoria?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Put the chains on the tires?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Who did that, really, Peter? Oh? No, actually he did it.
It was a radio trip, so there were people who
do you.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Know I came to that. I came to that, I
was there, I was there this. I remember this specifically.
Oh I remember this?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Did you come with us today.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I was part of the crew and we did a
big no promotion and Taran and Nat and we were
just we were the Casanova team that just like put
up the signs and helped the party be a hip.
We got absolutely magging.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Everyone did.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Everyone did?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
This is insane. I was there.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh my, I was there.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
We all went up in a bus. We were in
the bus with the competition winners, right to.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Go to the snow when I got injured.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
No, I would have remembered that. Speaking of your husband,
because he was there apparently at this snow trip, yes,
he was there too, Yes, but all there, Kate has
been to Bali. We know from last week or the
week before that you've plumped your kids on scoot.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Your husband, and you know what you've kicked. You've kicked
Pete a few times over the years on the buck
up about his booking behavior. Yes, the flights, yes, ye
here bye there.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Cash yes, and I do once it wasn't even to
save cash, remember the thirty six hours coming back from India.
But I do always say to you, I always defer
to the court of public opinion. Well, can I say,
can you criticize the person that's doing the job. If
you're not doing the job's good question. The consensus has
(15:50):
been yes.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Because buckhead, buckhead, Pete, your husband has reached out.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It's actually takes to get him to live double.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
He must have doubled.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
No, someone dabbed me in, someone lagged me out. Oh
you know who who peebe? Who's Yanny's godfather. He's a
devout and devoted buckwhitt right, we love him, but he's
also a rotten niche. So he came over and he went.
Your wife gave it to you on the backup this week, Pete,
(16:23):
she gave it to you.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I'm like, shit, Well it's good because you got he
went and listened and we got the numbers racking up
the hits. Yeah, this is Pete writing this, not.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Me, my beloved husband. By the way, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
My response to the defamatory accusations made by your show,
the buck up. Yeah read travel arrangement, scoot flights blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, number one, this is him, your husband number one.
And most importantly, Kate shows very little interest during the
booking process, going so far as to hide whenever I
mentioned we need to talk about the fars, because of
course you do. I can see it. I can see
you scuttering away.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And it's hard because he's right by the front door.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Run it up to your bedroom, get snacks on.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
The way, try to get out, but he's always like,
can I see you for a moment.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
This is in direct response to booking the kids on
the scoot flight by the way.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Ten hours to get to Bali, which is I discovered
five hours and thirteen.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Number two, I had just booked Kate on her own
business class flight to Catman do direct from Melbourne for
your little adventure.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Well that's because that'll be the last flight day ever.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Take Mountain your honor. Three. She comes with six people
in total and budgeting for six. While she insists on
a tight budget for her children, it's not an easy task.
I insist on the budget for the This is the
most one I've ever had on our podcast right now.
Number four. On that note, and with reference to point one,
(17:56):
she has a lot of expenses herbal medicine steaks. Number
five on that subject of her children's flights of Bali. Firstly,
as she as she dilly dallied, dilly dallied.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, you remember I didn't want to go on holiday
with them because at that point I hated them, which
is actually the reason you need to go on a
holiday with them. Because now you.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Love your photos, will love you're sending us picks.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
You all looked so beautiful. We had the most fun.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
You know what you do well, which no family can
do well. You can get photos with your kids who
don't look like they want to kill themselves that they're
getting a photo with the family. You guys, go alright
with that.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
On the holiday Vibe, there was one photo in which
all six of us were smiling and look like we
were having good time.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Heard of. That is a family miracle. We all went
on a big, big family trip years ago to Vietnam
for Dad's sixtieth or fiftieth. Let's take him back to
the war, so we say he was in the wars. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he got his scripted again. He was on the tanks
because he was a mechanic. So Dad got conscripted to
the Vietnam War. He was very young. It was twenty one.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Oh my goodness, that's like that song Vietnam War which
one do they called no No. I was only nineteen.
He was two years old. And that is that Goanna. Anyway,
it doesn't matter, as.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
You dilly, so we all went on the point. Was
not a single family photo where six of us are
looking happy to be there? Not one.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, it's very hard to do. No.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
One was a photo with parents? No, and it's the siblings. Actually,
if mum and dad were like that a photo, it's
not as bad. But what was there ringing in all
of you?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh way, has he finished?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Nope, as you, dilly dallied. The flights to Bali had
skyrocketed and it was difficult to keep them within your budget,
not his. Oh he did add beggars car choosers. Should
I read that bit?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
I just did.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Who we use the beggar?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Kids?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
And finally, so from here on out, I resign as
miss Lame Brooks travel Agent and I look forward to
future time consuming and stressful arrangements and decisions being made
by her. Oh he'd never let me do that.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Oh my goodness, my husband's are serve himself.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Thank you by Kaed Pete.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
By the looks of it, this trip was a hit.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
The trip was a hit, But the photo that you're
referring to was taking You're on the staircase.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah before Yeah, I've.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Got and I'll put it on mine as well. It
was taken before the kids realized what was entailed in
their return flight home.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
They didn't know yet.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No, okay, So so Peter Allen Lewis fourteen hours to
Barly via Scoot Airline. He says to himself, hold my beer,
Oh my god, more than fourteen Guess how long it
took the children A We thought he thought that they
(21:17):
were leaving at one pm, but it was one am
in the morning. Oh that's just how Yeah, okay, so
they're leaving one am in the morning.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
We'll hang on hotel checkouts ten am.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Oh no, but we got locker, we.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
Got it's going to say.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
But also we'd booked the rooms an extra day, as
it turned out, because we thought he thought the travel agent.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Thought you're extravel agent.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Ext anyway, and then there was this terrible moment of
confusion when Lewis goes, when are we leaving, dad, and
Peter goes, look it up.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I've sent you the it and it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Says one.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
One one one am.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So everyone's like, is that lunch? I'm not one am?
Is not lunchtime?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
On time's thirteen yep, one hundred pm. That annoys me too, by.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
The really, I hate that twenty four hour clock.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Pull your finger on everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
So I guess how long it took them to fly
back from Barley. So on the way over he managed
to get fourteen hours.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
It's the layover that kills people.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Guess how long I'm going to get away home?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
You were going up to seventeen here, now.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
You're cracking twenty. I think it took them twenty two hours?
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Are you sure it was a book? Was it a boat?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
They this time had an eight hour layover in Singapore,
nearly twice the time it takes to fly to Barley.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
With your siblings. So that's stuck in Singapore airport with
That's right. What they do?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Okay? They went and to pop Eyes and got chicken.
They watched them footy that was on. Yeah, because we
could see on the family group chat.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Someway were lying down at home.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
We were enjoying our last day in Balley without them,
and you could we could see their messages. I'm already
at the gate. That Sunday who arrived at the gate
four hours before the plane was going to leave.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What you want?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And then but she's just slept wherever she was. But
had we taken the photo when that news had broken,
there were a couple of grim moments. But that's my
former travel agent, so I'm now officially soliciting. There'd be
some beautiful Buckwhet travel agents, listen.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I offended some of them a while ago when I said,
it's a job that you don't need anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
You could be my travel agent.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I'm quite good. I am quite good.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Do you know we could break you.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
I think you would break me. There's not a doubt
in my mind that you would break me. But I'm
still very good at it. And you're here, and you're ten,
and you're alone, and we're so beautiful.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And at one point when the kids were really not
happy and I was that we got such mileage out
of it. Everyone we spoke to couldn't believe it. And
some we were talking to, some people who fly from
Europe to Barley and they still got I can't believe
taking so long. Peter said to me, I've just about
(24:15):
had enough of this. And I said to him, Darling,
you can't be the person that books these flights and
then also has enough of it. Both things can't be true.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
In this case has closed your home. Now it's because
school holidays went but yes, school went back yesterday.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yes, right, school went back. Yes, my husband went to school.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
He's back at work. Life returns. I think for some
friends I have not mentioning names. I think they're calmer
and more relaxed when school goes back. Oh, everyone everyone
is okay. I don't know, we don't have kids.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Everyone is, except for if you make lunches.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Okay, lunches. Sorry, I just assumed that parents wanted the
kids that they have.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Mate, And you know what all you can do is imagine,
So imagine away, my friends.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
It's hey. I used to have a stand up bit
about when people say do you want kids like you
literally just go and talk to any of your friends
in the middle of the school holidays. That'll make you
so true.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Come on, it's so true.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It's almost like you guys want them and then you're
furious when you have to hang out with them.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But also it's like me trying to get fit.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Didn't disagree over there, head, no.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
But we all know that. Okay. So here's the thing
in life. Everything good is hard.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
God, you're so right.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Everything you name one thing that's good that isn't hard.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Hello, go on one thing that's good, that's not hard.
It's really I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, and I'm not talking about good as in things sugar. Yeah,
but that's not good for you. Yeah, that's actually bad,
but temporarily it feels good. But anything that's good for you,
character building, souls strengthening, you're coming back to do the world,
trying to get do the work, and having children is
(26:04):
under that category. So it is not for the fainthearted,
the lazy, the self indulgent.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Whatever, but weird. Your eye contact became quite intense.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
And even if you start off like that, which of
course I did, you soon realize that if it's a
if it's a job that you are going to commit
yourself to, you have to divest yourself of those selfish
attributes at some point to do it properly. Some people
never do. But it is also the greatest for.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
An outside I feel like you're explaining what it takes
to be a mother, because from my experience, I think
everything you've just explained to me, you've explained most women,
and I know most mums in my life. There's a few.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Dads that I know that any of that no, no,
but look at the email you just got from a father.
Look at the email from the father of for Do
you know what I mean? So it's just it's you know,
you like to say two things can be true.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
They can. Oh yeah, yeah that's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, a bad bad, bad bad bad bad.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
But you know I was watching you in bed the
other night. How does that make you feel? I shot
you off a little text? Did you what's been gay
Christmas for the last week? Because Madonna's new album has
come out?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
And is it good?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And that's very good?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh, I'm so.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Madge has done it. I'm so Nana's back man is
back on the on the disco. Some of it, Okay, look,
you don't want to be this person, do you? The
album is genuinely.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Great, but maybe are you saying watching without the visuals some.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Of the visuals also some of them, Oh yeah, some
of them are great.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
I just saw something she released I'm Square where she slack?
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, that's what I was going to bring up to
launch the album. She did a free concert in the
middle of time Square and it was amazing. Thousands of
people there of course like perfect just see the queen,
and there was a moment and the songs are great.
It's her best album in like twenty years ever. All
the review disc Disco, all the review, all the reviews,
(28:16):
blah blah blah. She's back, the Queen is back, right,
but she launches the help Yeah, and she looks awesome.
But there was a moment where she got a little
bit excited as she went to the very very edge
of the stage, which is up on level twenty of
this massive building, puts her leg over this glass and
(28:36):
there was a collective of like twenty thousand gays in
the middle of the square. But then they hit her.
You see her go, what am I doing here? I
am missed, I missed up. So she has to bring
her seeing up.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
She had a short skirt on and you could see up.
You could certainly what she I'm hoping that they were
frilly knickers because I think they were. Yeah, good, because
otherwise there's otherwise there's some anatomical mishap going on underneath.
But her leg kind of was it stuck there?
Speaker 4 (29:10):
I think it was. We were we were seconds away
from mere seconds away from disaster. But Madge had this,
She had the smarts to go no not yet, so
she brought the leg back in.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, I love her.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
She bought the leg back in and it was a
very fun But I was reminded. I just was reminded. Okay,
it's such I mentioned this to you often. It's still
one of the weirdest things that this one of the
biggest pop icons of all time. I looking that, Madge,
It's Madonna, Elvis, Michael Jackson. There's not that many in
her category still with us.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Well, she's the only one.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
She's the one from the ones who just okay, well,
there's a couple more of the old rockers that are
still around. He's gone, Whitney's gone. Yeah, you sat down
with Madonna for half an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It's going to get caught.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
No, I know. Okay, let me just quickly say this.
Don't cut it. So are YouTube and I watched it
again in fall.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I just watched Goodness.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
In full. Three things We're moving on. She liked you.
She doesn't like people, no, no, stressed down off people,
doesn't suffer fools, doesn't like repeat questions. She can tell
when someone hasn't done their research or hasn't listened to
the album. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
She's exacting.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
She was into Kate Lainbrook.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Let's watch it.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
It's really good.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Okay, I'm going to tell you the backstory of that.
You can cut this Stash and Jack, in fact, Jack
who's listening to this even as we say we can't
cut it now, No he can't, but he was the one.
So what happened was when I did that interview, and
I think I told you this, I had to go
to some private club in the middle of London. I'd
(30:50):
flown over from Italy where we were living. I'd had
two and a half days where I just basically was
prepping because I knew all of the above about Madonna,
and also it wasn't going to be a musical interview.
It was about her. But I knew that she's someone
who can close the door on you really suddenly, and
if she closed a door, I wanted to have another
(31:12):
daughter offer her right, that's the thing for an interview anyway.
So I'd stayed in my room swatting, I didn't see
any of London, and we went out at night. The
interview was supposed to be eight o'clock. It kept getting
pushed back, push back, pushback. It ended up being eleven
thirty by the time I got into the room with her,
(31:34):
I was so faint with hunger and I think general
because there was this peaking anxiety around her, and there
were journalists from around the world waiting to do interviews
with her, and some of them were so I understand
why she's intolerant as she is, because people were saying
that there was a girl in front of me going,
do you like me jumpsuit? I warrant because I thought
(31:55):
Madonna would like it, you know, stuff like that. But
I'm just like mate, less about you, more about the
queen right for me, for mine anyway, And there were
people that didn't speak English that so she had to
feel anyway whatever. However, when I got in there, I
was so faint that I could not remember one word
(32:19):
of what happened in that room other than my opening
gamb but to her, which was she was talking to
all the people around the world, she goes, now, we've
got an Australian as well, because we got and then
she started listing off everyone in the room and there
was a you know, Madonna was doing Dominican Republic. He's
from the Dominican like she knew everybody right at the
(32:40):
camera guarded the sound guy, her makeup artist, her whatever.
She said. Now we got an Australian as well, and
I said to her, this is the last thing I
remember of the interview. Where in the world do you
think you come from? Right? Because she's lived sort of anyway.
I can't even remember what years. It's right, that's right anyway.
So then the conversation started. After it, I was working
(33:03):
with a producer that I don't normally work with from
the radio station. He was Australian, but he was there
and afterwards he didn't say anything to me, like he
said nothing, and I was like, oh my goodness, that
must have been so terrible. It was going to be
played on Hughes's in my show, and Jack, who works
on this, who edits these, was going to do the edit.
(33:25):
And so I contacted Jack and I said, Jack, I'm
so sorry, I'm so humiliated. This is going to be
so terrible. I said, if there's a way that you
can pad it out, like get past clips of her singing,
or just cut it up and then just cut it
up to the bone, just so we've got something that
(33:47):
we can play.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Tom fun because this one producer didn't say anything because I.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Was so light he didn't. I think I remember anything.
All I do remember is that they said to me
at the end. Her manager said to me, don't ask
her for a foldo. If she wants a foldole, she'll
tell you, right. She said that too, like a group
of us, right. And I was so I didn't even think.
I was sort of light headed. And I stood up
to leave, and she goes keep keep and she's standing
(34:14):
by the fireplace, very small, She's tiny, and I remember
she said we got to get a photo. So I'm like, oh, okay,
just sort of go over. I'm very dazed. And then
I remember feeling this thing around my waist and it
was her tiny, little gloved hand.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
So I thought I thought it got felt up by
the Queen of pop.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
It could have been a sympathy cuddle.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
No anywhere, She's too busy for sympathy.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
When I sent that message to Jack, I was so sick.
I hardly slept that night. I was just like, I've
really like screwed.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I take things like that like I want them to
be good. Ye. You know, there's a lot of people
in our business who don't care about where the stuff is.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Let's not kick, let's not kick off on that. No,
but that's just a controller in our.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Me anyway, that's another app. So the next morning I
woke up to I think a voicemail from Jack or
maybe a text message, and I was just so sick.
I think I've probably only had about three hours sleep.
And it said, oh my goodness, I have listened to
this interview not once, but several times. I don't know
(35:20):
what you were worried about. I actually think it's fantastic.
It's so fantastic. I'm not even going to cut anything
out of it. And I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
And just so you know, not just Jack, not just me.
The comments underneath this video on YouTube are like, I've
never heard Madonna speak so openly, or oh my god,
these two have such good chemistry. All these random Madonna
fans love it as well. This is the most this
is the most relaxed I've ever seen Madonna in an interview.
That Okay, so I now vote I'm never proud of you,
(35:49):
but that moment.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
But isn't that the buck up? That's the buck up
that so much of what we think about ourselves is
just going on in our tiny pea brains, where some
of the is a bit more pee than others, but
the reality of it was so distant from what I
(36:15):
had perceived.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
She was wearing a body eye patch and you still
did a professional.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Jobs breakdown Dicus in sash Before I went in there
because it was her madamex Era, I said, if she's
wearing the eye patch, all, I'm not going to be
able to handle it. And there she was with her
one eye. It was really terrifying. While it's gone, suck
up paper, don't doubt yourself.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
When you're interviewing Madonna.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Just lean into it. It's gonna love you, yea. But
either way she will have a feeling.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
One of the best old like old school Hollywood couples.
It doesn't happen anymore with the drama. Was her and
Sean pen remember.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
The when they were married or married a chair he did?
I think that was sexual. They would have had mad.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
I think he could have gone out at their wedding
to get rid of the to get rid of the police.
Are the media helicopters? Yeah, I think he got a
gun out.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Okay, all right, because I can only think of one
other couple that would have had that Hella sexual. They
would have had you know who it is such buzzing, buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Go and Tommy, it's a good one.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
Good one.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Who Angelina and brad in the mister and missus Smith Era.
That would have been some mad It.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Was an affair, right, yeah, because you were terrible.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
I'm so sorry still, Jen, Yeah, r I P. But
remember there was some story about because I think she
just adopted the first one, the eldest one, what's his
name whatever, Maddox Maddox. And remember there was a story
that they were staying in some isolated retreat in Cambodia
(38:13):
or whatever. Well maybe they were in Africa at this way,
I can't remember, but it was an isolated and they
were in some sort of hut, some buret or whatever
down by I think a river or whatever. And of
course they've got security guards walking around, and a security
guard I think was alarmed by the sounds that he
(38:33):
was hearing. Okay, but it turned out they were just
enjoying each other. Ok So, can you imagine he's a
security guard on an animal reservation. You've been on safari,
I sure have What sounds did you hear?
Speaker 4 (38:52):
I was crying most of the time, So the sounds
of me crying in the African jungle.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
This is a guy who's used to hearing those sounds.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
And even he was like, he was going, He's like,
what is this?
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I need to sound the alarm. But it was just
them in the early throes of them.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
It doesn't happen anymore. In this world of celebrity. There
is not that nuh the fiery couple where their story
is going around and paparazzimping out having a sexual energy,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I don't think people are as sexual as they used
to be.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
I feel that there's a lot more fake couples now
just for promo, and a lot of people are pretending
to be together and they're not just to they've got
to move to promote. It doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
A girlfriend of mine once said to me, and she
worked at the strips, not as a stripper, but she
worked with a lot of strippers, and she said to me,
a lot of them they expend so much energy on
projecting this sexual for their work, but she said, in
real life, they have no desire for sex. And I
think that's like maybe what people are like now because
(39:59):
so this much performative stuff, you know online, everyone's like,
look up, my big ted ass, that's why wouldn't you
like a better That's.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
True, that's just alone.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
But I think that when you're projecting everything like that externally,
that maybe you don't even really like you don't like it,
and that's why we're missing that. We don't have one.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Bring it, bring it back, bring it back, bring it,
bring it back to me. You really do meloko, Meloco maloko.
You really do sing off key. It's quite a skill.
You have this incredible skill of singing a song, you
(40:42):
staying the same key, but it's always just the wrong one.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
It's really good one.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
No, I don't that's the got there eventually. But Brad
Pitt shout out one of the best facelifts I've seen
in quite some time.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Look the guy on TikTok faces. He got a great
face left. He's looking real good. He's looking real good.
I saw Angelina Joli in an interview this week say
that she thinks she's going to die young. She thinks
she's always believed that she's not long for this earth.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Well, the way that she lived when she was younger,
I can understand that, so maybe you.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Know she's calm right down, what what's going on? You're right, everyone's.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Boring, okay, So with her, I never think she gets
enough acknowledgment of this, right, Remember when she found out
she had the bracker Jean.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Oh, right, and she had the surgery, Yeah, surgery's surgeries.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
She had her ovaries removed and her two breasts removed, right, Like,
this is so extreme and it basically she must have
gone smack bang into menopause, right, There is never any
acknowledgment of that at all, where people are going, she's mad,
she's she's a I remember hearing an interview where someone
(42:00):
asked her a question and she said, to be honest,
I haven't really felt like myself for the last few years.
I don't know what it is. And I'm like, I
know what it is, yeah, right, and any doctor would
know what it is. But no one ever really acknowledges
that she had this massive like you couldn't have a
greater physical trauma enacted upon yourself. Basically, all her womanly
(42:27):
parts were removed and rebuilt. Like that's forlorn, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
And people always want to act like what a buck?
Speaker 2 (42:36):
No, no, But but people always well, it was a
buck because she did it to stay alive.
Speaker 4 (42:40):
She did so, I'm still.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Yes, but no wonder after that that things went a
bit slippery with a brand pit and he was in
the turps and bashing kids in a plane. I don't
know what's going.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Hey, he's got some new woman twenty something, of course,
some tiny new young thing. He was at Wimbledon. It's
my feet. I'm very busy.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
I think she's not without accomplishment. Is she an architect
or something starch or an art collector something?
Speaker 4 (43:12):
Sorry, I know, but it would if it was.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
When it's a madonna. This is interesting, and we're not
the first to make this point. When it's a madonna,
it's an object of mockery that she's always with one
of her younger dances when it's with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
Somehow heroes amongst us?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 4 (43:29):
Would have stud?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
That's that's really that?
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Am I stud?
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Who me?
Speaker 4 (43:37):
Said? Am I start? I was just a question. No,
you know you you are's the biggest no ever heard?
What a fuck? What the nineties Hollywood couples? I buck
up about old people?
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Well, you know, we love, we love, we haven't saluted
the aged for a while, and listen.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
Into the we spoke about Madonna for a bit. What
that you're being agents? That's a negative? No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
When we talk about the aged, how old is Madonna?
Don't even worry about it?
Speaker 4 (44:12):
Sixty something? Okay, second or third? First album of all times?
We are celebrated.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Now how old she is? Really? Are we? You know what?
You know that what you said is wrong? What you
know that that's not respectful to this?
Speaker 4 (44:30):
I don't got back, I don't know day license, yeah, correct?
Speaker 2 (44:34):
And what about me? What about referring to her flinging
a leg over that.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
That was hoping really underwear?
Speaker 2 (44:42):
When you can drop that when we're talking about the agent.
Normally we're talking about the oldies and their secret to
living longer and how it annoys us. But one of
the ogs, it's not many of them that you know
their names, But do you remember Jean Calmont? Do you
remember that name? For a long time, she was the
(45:02):
eldest in the world, the oldest in the world. She
was the French one.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
I think, to be fair, you called bullshit on it
and wanted to see proof because you.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Know, no, I think she was dead before we start.
She was the famous old one. Now we couldn't name
one of them, but for some reason she popped up
a lot in the news. Anyway, this is a very
interesting thing about her. She was, she lived okay. So
what she did was, you know that, you know how
you can do that thing if you're old, that you
can sell your house to someone and you have a
(45:34):
living mortgage or a reverse mortgage or whatever, so you
can sell. If you're old and you need the pensions
not enough, you can sell your house to some avaricious
kind of you know, crocodile real estate agent who goes,
I'll give you the money for your house. Now, I'll
pay you. Now you get this chunk of change. You
can live in it until you die. Right. She did
(45:59):
this with her lawyer when she was ninety. Say the
name again, Jean Jean Calmont. She sold her house at
the age of ninety to her lawyer m Rafray. Under
the contract, she could live in the house until she
died and receive twenty five hundred francs per month from
(46:21):
Him's not bad. She went on to live to one
hundred and twenty two years of age. She outlived the
lawyer whoa. She saw him off, and this is the
bit where I'm just like, lady, you are you are
(46:42):
pure aged royalty. She stopped smoking at one hundred and seventy.
Speaker 4 (46:50):
J sums, making a pretty penny off her house, and
she was still there bagging away.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Imagine the lawyer at one instead. At one point he
would have been like, maybe I need to man.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Things are embarrassing that shouldn't be. Yes, it isn't that
lovely that of all the things we bang on, I've
got one great give me your so that the buckheads
slide into our d M. Yes they do, and they're
so welcome to read. And that's lovely.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
How did they contact us?
Speaker 4 (47:23):
Dm us on Instagram?
Speaker 2 (47:25):
On Facebook? So straight Facebook, we have a face, but
a book we do? We have on Facebook? Now a
lot of people are they I've never been on it.
Dolan Brook the smoker? Why why what are you beating
that drum?
Speaker 4 (47:47):
We'll move on. I don't know what you need you
need to see? Go on, John, John, John. This is
very oddly specific. But God is not wrong. Okay, He's
not wrong. Things that are embarrassing that shouldn't be taking
off a hoodie in public.
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Ah fills me with terror.
Speaker 4 (48:13):
Oh, it's temporarily blind. Your other shirt, I might be
everything exposing Flasha. If it gets stuck or something, I'll
be there flailing around.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
Yes, and if you're a woman trying to extract yourself
hoody hair when it all comes off at.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
The end, He's absolutely right on, John.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Do you know what is an oracle about time you reckon?
Speaker 4 (48:37):
He's a smoker?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
Oh? I love him?
Speaker 4 (48:38):
No? No, maybe maybe? Actually my things are embarrassing that
shouldn't be is clothes related, So it's all linking. Let's
pretend we planned it that way.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
Okay, what is that?
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Things that are embarrassing that shouldn't be walking into a
shop wearing something from that shop, from that shop, that's
so embarrassing. Happened to me last week.
Speaker 2 (48:59):
How funny. When my girlfriend Alis and I were going
shopping the other week, I actually got changed because we
were going into Zara and I was wearing a Zara top.
Now that's so ludicrous, so embarrassing. Not being able to
go into Bonds wearing a T shirt. It's just ridiculous,
but I had to do it.
Speaker 4 (49:15):
Zara is better for women's clothing than men. They're not
nail and men's clothings.
Speaker 2 (49:20):
Aren't they?
Speaker 4 (49:20):
But I would just know they're just it's not good.
I try every time I go, no, I'm going to
give them a crack.
Speaker 2 (49:25):
What would you like from them?
Speaker 4 (49:27):
Just to be better fitting, just a bit nicer.
Speaker 2 (49:31):
Have you tried the boys department?
Speaker 4 (49:37):
My one was My one was a godsend to all
men on earth? Unicloth I walked into Uniclone and looked
at one of the dummies and went, is that me?
We're wearing the same jacket, mortifying?
Speaker 2 (49:49):
I love it?
Speaker 4 (49:50):
What did men do? What did men do before? Unicloth?
I tell you, I don't know if this is it's
not a sponsor. I don't know how they closed made
they closed.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Me big girlfriends and their mothers and maybe their gay
boyfriends got their stuff for them.
Speaker 4 (50:05):
It's just the basics. And she might not a Friday outfits. Yeah,
hop off to fellas, get in there. Is it good
for women?
Speaker 2 (50:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (50:12):
Not really?
Speaker 2 (50:13):
Yeah, I think it is. I mean it's not me.
It's not a me sort of store.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
Just what's that navy blue? What's that mustard? Tech star?
Speaker 2 (50:24):
You've just described her whole color palette and the word utilitarian.
It's like it's so she's like her eyes of lit up,
and then of course she gets to play her favorite
roll of the dice game societal roll of the dice
in my lesbian You tell me that's how she travels
(50:46):
through life if she's like dressed far.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
I just feel when things are a little bit too cheap,
but check out, I do get hit with a stub
of guilt about what about what has gone on for
this to be this price? What is happened along this journey?
Who was exploited at some point? The other day I
went in there. I had to get two very basic things,
two T shirts. Walked out twenty six bucks or something.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
I thought, and I thought, so many that cheap?
Speaker 4 (51:12):
I thought, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's that cheap.
That's how cheap it is. Yes, you see what I mean.
Something's okay, I shouldn't be this cheap.
Speaker 2 (51:20):
Okay, all right, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (51:22):
Do you know what?
Speaker 2 (51:23):
I really have an issue with a four dollars T shirt?
And I'm like, this is not possible without some form
of slavery.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
Well, I'm more comfortable now with I'm more comfortable with
the microplastic vibe than I am with the slavery vibe.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
Are you so, I'd rather have the pure cotton. I'd
rather have the pure we.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
Go they have you. No, no, no, I'm saying, if
there's a discount, I'm hoping it's because I made of plastic.
I'm hoping my clothes are made out of old water bottles.
That's why it's cheap, not because some person made them
and they shouldn't be making it. Do you get what
I'm getting at?
Speaker 2 (51:59):
I sort of, But I also think there's probably quite
a lot of work in turning a bottle into a jacket.
I would say these bowl work than just turning cotton.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
A boat of cotton maybe. But Yeah, something popped up
on my Instagram a couple of weeks ago about how
all the clothing I just pumped with plastic.
Speaker 2 (52:19):
Yes, sush, we're not supposed to be wearing stretch craft.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
Going to kill you.
Speaker 2 (52:27):
Well, I've been looking on Well they say the combination
of sweat, which I now do in which I haven't
done for a long like ever, the combination of sweat
and and microplastics.
Speaker 4 (52:42):
It's not goodtrating little skin opens up and then it
goes in.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
Also, I've been googling natural cotton exercise were or wool.
Speaker 4 (52:54):
Which is what they used to wear in the old
A new person.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
No, it's not possible. Oh it's not actually not possible
unless we're all going to get about like like cyclists
from the Tour de France in eighteen hundred and ninety five.
By the way, here's a little here's a little note
of interest about the Tour de France. Because you know,
my husband, I'm from a travel agent.
Speaker 4 (53:16):
Not kicking off where it normally does.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
He loved the Tour de France. Do you know in
the when the Tour de France started, they used to
stop for lunch and guess no more lunch, guess what
They drank wine at lunch. Wow, isn't that amazing the French.
Speaker 4 (53:36):
They don't do that anymore. No, I don't. Now they've
got that motorbike that rides next to them and they
hand out the drink that's not wine, and sometimes it
goes wrong and they grab that. Yeah, Cody and Pete
would genuinely be good friends if they if we ever
allowed them to hang out without it less they were
on the same side of the town. If we let
them be together without us controlling the situation, they'd be
(53:56):
very good friends. They don't we I'm not allowing that
because I'll start a podcast.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
And I've got a have we got an opening.
Speaker 4 (54:06):
We're getting r I'm.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
Giving you a text from mum. It's a text from
I am so in love with this. This is from Naomi.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
Hello Naomi.
Speaker 2 (54:16):
She's a buckwheat.
Speaker 4 (54:17):
We love that.
Speaker 2 (54:19):
A buck knuckle, a buckstickle.
Speaker 4 (54:21):
Buckstick buckhead. There you go, helped.
Speaker 2 (54:25):
It's a text from her Nana. She's ninety five, probably
a smoker, trying to wring you. Grandpa is not well,
still alive, not dead, so do not come today. He
looks like he looks like a very high fever and
coughing non stop, still in bed. I could not talk
(54:47):
to him, no hearing aids room in terrible mess. Your
mum was going to come last evening, but when she
got home from the doctor Basle the dog was having
a fit, had to rush to vet. She will be
lost without him if he has to be put down.
So no good news here today. Don't think of coming today.
(55:08):
Love Nana, Kiss, kids, Kiss.
Speaker 4 (55:10):
It's a text. A lot going on there. Oh now
I'm thinking about Buzzle. We'll be thinking about Buzzle all day.
Speaker 2 (55:20):
Why are we thinking about Grandpa.
Speaker 4 (55:22):
I couldn't pick up She's not thrilled that he's still
alive as well.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
Do you know what I did wonder that? But do
you know what I think? I think when your end
of days with someone that you love, you go from
this is what happened to me with my dad, right,
You go from praying that they will stay to hoping
(55:48):
that they will go.
Speaker 4 (55:49):
That's the old pimate.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
That's the ultimate in loving someone is being able to
let them go. I know, isn't that? Isn't that? But
that is part of the beauty of life. You can't
love someone more than being prepared to let them go,
even though you want them to stay. And I would
like to think this is what Nana thinks about grandfather.
(56:12):
Of course she could just hate him. Like Peter's grandma
left his grandfather when they were in the retirement home.
She was ninety three and he was ninety five, and
she said to Peter's mom, he was a tough old thing.
Who knows how he was raised, but whatever, she'd had
(56:32):
a really hard life with him. And she said to
Marie when she was like ninety four, I've had the
happiest year of my life and he used to try,
and they were in the same retirement home. They had
to move them to separate rooms, and he used to
try and trip her up with his wak so she'd
stop and talk to him.
Speaker 4 (56:50):
It's all it's all on.
Speaker 2 (56:53):
Don't think that because people are old, they're different to us.
Speaker 4 (56:56):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (57:00):
Call bad, bad, bad, a bat a bed.
Speaker 4 (57:05):
All those are over, folks. Life's returned.
Speaker 2 (57:09):
Life has returned, and let us seize it and suck
the marrow out.
Speaker 4 (57:14):
Of the bow. Next week, we need to talk about
your update the mountain climbing. We didn't touch on it.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
Oh dear, well wait, I'm so sick about it.
Speaker 4 (57:23):
No cliff hanger, Okay next week.
Speaker 2 (57:26):
The buck Up podcast is hosted by me Kate Langbrook
and him Nathan Valvo. It's produced by the brilliant Sasha French.
Audio and sound by the magnificent Yack Lawrence you might
call him Jack and Dom Evans. Oh we're lucky.
