Every single time she does a poop number two, she
breaks it into two, so like she'll do it and
then I know in another forty she'll finish it.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh that's really annoying.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
She doesn't walk like it's still going. We all pretend
it's done, but then.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
She'll walk down the track a little bit further and
then she'd go again.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
That would do me. Your busters, he's got a new one.
He's the only of a pool on the grass. But
now he's got this habit. He'll do it in the
middle of the road whenever I cross the road.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
He then goes, you know what, because he's in his
latest stages of life.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
You just don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
He doesn't know where he is.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Fine now, Matt, it's Thursday, so just to get you
up to speed. I know it's still early days for you,
but we do ask gun Cut every Thursday. That's what
we do on our podcast, Life un Cut podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
You know I love Ask Guncut.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
You do love it.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I've been such a big fan since way back when.
I just love getting involved in other people's business.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, this one I picked particularly for you because you
have a very lived experience. We have Stacy on the line,
who is having some issues with her partner and a cat.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Stacy, just explain to everyone what the issue is.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Okay, so we lost our family cats earlier this year,
which quite hard at the time, as we all know
what losing a petty's like. Stacy, I'm so sorry, thank you,
but I feel I'm ready to guess another cat. But
my husband is very much against it around Like I
mentioned it a couple of months ago, and he's like,

(02:24):
I'm not ready, Like I didn't realize how much the
loss would affect me. So I'm like, I'll give you time.
I respect that, but now I'm at the point that
I really want a cat companion. He's a shift worker,
so there's times like I'm home alone, so it's like
I'm having the companion around, I don't know how to
go about just going to get one.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Look, this is a really complicated situation you found yourself in, Stacey,
and thank you, mate, And again my heart goes out
to you and your family regarding the loss of your cat.
Can I ask was it your boyfriend or husband?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Husband? Husband? So cat kind of came into our lives.
It was nine years ago. We kind of have adopted
in woman to have him for a weekend, and nine
years later we still had it. So his name was Sillem.
I l o M really weird. So he's called him
silly Cat.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I'm judging this is a really weird name.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I yeah, wasn't our choice, so we stuck with silly Cat,
but yeah, he was. It was funny because we kind
of got him right at the beginning of our relationship
as well, So it was we just moved in together
probably three weeks before we kind of rescued him.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I'm going to tell you something very important, and if
I could just ask quickly before I tell you this information,
can you just take a quick seat if you're not
already seated, if that's okay. So men, and I say
this as a man, we are really dumb. Okay, we
don't know what we want.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
So glad you said that.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
And sometimes we we just dig our heels in for
just the sake of digging our heels in. We just
want to dig him in. We'll dig him into anything.
And I was once your husband in a sense. Laura
had a cat. She was called Lady and a Cat
on her Instagram. She had a cat, can't remember its name,
not import and it died was hit by a car.

(04:10):
And Laura said, I want a new cat, and I
said no, and she then went out got the cat.
And when I saw the cat, I was like, oh
my gosh, I actually did really want a cat. I
didn't know it.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
So let me just extend this conversation a little bit.
Matt said he didn't want a cat. Laura brought the
cat home. Matt was like, so cute.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
And then a week later he was like, I don't
want the cat anymore.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
That is an absolute lie. And Stacey, it's important for
you to stay focused on what I am saying. In
this situation. I am the expert here. Go out buy
any cat that you like, and I guarantee, regardless of
the breed, regardless of the sex, regardless of the name,
your husband will love this cat.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
So that ends in divorce. I can come back to you, right,
I think it's guaranteed.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I think in all seriousness, like, of course you're supposed
to meet in the middle as a couple and like
both agree on something.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
But I would say, in this situation, your feelings and.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Your situation at home in terms of being alone all
the time, I think that's super seeds him saying no,
I don't want one. So I think you just need
to say, look, it's really important to me, Like I
feel really lonely when you're not here. I feel like
I need something or someone else in the house. And
if it's not going to be someone, it can be
a cat.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
That's what I get.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
And I completely agree. That's kind of where I've tried
to like starting to lead it gain.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
If it does an in divorce. Brittany has a spare
room in her apartment. So you're totally fine.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm a cat.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm a catface, I'm a catfray space. Hey, good luck, Stacy.
Thank you for calling us, but thank you so much.
I do have some good news. You might not get
a cat, but you do get.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Some Sony earbuds just for calling us today.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
These are like, these are really really good noise canceling
tech clearer calls. They're very stylish, so they're all yours.
Just for calling up today.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I really appreciate it, and thank you so much for
the advice. And thank you, Mattie. You're doing a great
job in the seat. I'll tell you that much. I
really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
You're very welcome. Thank you, Stacy.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
This is a good question for you.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Hit me nothing.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I have more than an am I the a whole three.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, so I've got one that's about is it or
isn't it cheating? Now let me set the scene. There's
a lovely little couple. She works in an office.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
One of the names it's anonymous. It's anonymous.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Not important to continue, Yeah, not important.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
So she works in an office and there's always been
a little bit of something that the boyfriend has been
worried about. He's like, there's one person at the office
that they call Spencer that he thinks is a little
bit too flirty with his girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Nothing's happened, Spencer red Flag, straight up, Spenny Speno. Yeah
for me.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
So the boyfriend's like, you know what got my eye
on you, buddy. Nothing's happened, but I can see you
looking at my girl. So she's come home and she
has said that the office is having a dress up party.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
And she has decided to team.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Up in a couple's costume with this Spencer character.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, that's not too bad, right, not too bad?

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Are you going in matching banana's in pajamas?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's great, that's fun.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
They have decided to go as a horse, so the
same costume. You know, one has to bend over and
the other one backs up into it, and then there's
one horse costume.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's not like she's riding on the back of Spencer.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
I think it's worse.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Have a look, my god. That no, that's okay.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
So he's the boyfriend's like, bro, this is like BottomLine cheating.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
If you're it's okay. If anyone who obviously can't watch
us right now. It is one where you kind of
have to like one person is standing up, the other
person who's the behind the back legs has to bend over.
It's really intimate and you're encased in the costume.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
One person's head has to be in another's butt. Whichever
way you do it, there's nowhere else to go. And
I don't know if you're the.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Girl, are you wanting his head in your butt or
your butt or you're heading his butt?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I think both scenarios. There is no good outcome here.
I think this very much falls into the category of
it being murky and if it's murky, get out of
the water.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Well, yeah, because there might be crocodiles.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So the boyfriend is like, look, you're going to be
connected literally all days.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
It necessary.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
You can go as anything you want. Why have you
chosen the only thing that has to be like heads
in butts?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I don't like it. And to me, this falls into
the same category as like if your partner right starts
watching a TV series without you with somebody else.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Or like on the in distance or something, Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Don't I don't like it. If they're if they're watching
episodes in sync, I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
It does make you think about all those things that's
like it's I mean, dressing up as a horse isn't cheating,
but it sort of goes that way of being inappropriate.
But it makes you think of like, what are those
little things?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And I think it's like when you get matching tattoos.
I don't like it. Well, if you're not a couple,
not for me, alarm bells, but it's things like massages together. No,
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Brushing, like someone riches and brushes hair off someone's face
or tucks.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
It behind the ear, popping a pimple, not cheating, gross.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
But that's murky.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Murky crocodiles are looming fixing someone's tie, you know, like
you right up into it and you're doing that little
wiggle and you make icon diact and your.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Lips are closed and it's heavy breathing inappropriate.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Right, that ting a shoelace.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
I think that's okay. So you think it's fine, all right,
all right, So Matt and I are going.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
As a horse to the office. Okay, it's murky, britt
the crocodiles, Remember, Brittany, this is going to sound really
self indulgent. But yesterday I was spotted.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Is at the end of the center.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I was.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I was look. I was on For those of you
who do not know about eight years ago. Nine years ago,
actually I think it was out of nine. I was
in a show called The Bachelor.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, which is where you met my lovely co host
and your wife Laura.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I was once the most eligible man in the country.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
I think you'll find it's the most eligible man that
was available.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Sorry, like, what are you doing. We don't have to
attack me like that on the show, Brittany, Okay, I'll
just keep laughing at my expense.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm the one that got dumb from The Bachelor.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Worse for me. So I was at this cafe and
I was sitting down there with an and look, it
doesn't happen that much, you know. It was a really
long time ago that I was on the show. So
I definitely these days it's really it's back of mind
people stopping me for a photo. Yeah, when it does happen,
Like I'll be honest, I don't know if you feel
the same when you get asked for a photo. It's

(10:26):
really nice, Yeah, I mean do you enjoy it? Yes?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I because Laura and I have our podcast Life on Card.
It has a really big audience, so we get a
lot of lifers.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You actually, yeah, you get it a lot more.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah, we get lifers.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Yeah, and it's great. It's a lovely interaction. You make
people's day, give them a moment of your time, and
I enjoy it, if I'm being really honest. So I
was at the cafe and I could kind of see
in the corner of my eye there was a group
of young people and they had their phone out and
they were kind of looking at me in my direction.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
You think they're like secret squirrel trying to film me, and.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, they look like they just wanted a photo with me.
They had the phone out there, they're kind of looking
at you, and they're they're a bit nervous to ask
for I.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Feel uncomfortable for some reason, because I know this is
going to go somewhere.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
I don't think it's going to go.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
And and for me, I straight away I spotted the situation.
I identified it, and I thought, I'm more than happy
to oblige. I know it's a little bit awkward, and
sometimes they're a bit shy, and so sometimes I just go,
do you know what, I'll come up, I'll come to you.
I don't need you to ask. I can read between
the lines. So I got up and I walked over

(11:35):
and I was like, hey, guys, how are you going?
And I grabbed the phone and I sat down with them,
and I, you know, I've got a long arm, and
so I got the phone out there and I smiled
and I was like, hey everyone again. You know been
in these moments, and I was like, I want to
make their day. I want to give them something to remember.
I'm sure they're here on holiday, and you know how

(11:56):
nice for them. They got to meet Mattada at a cafe.
So I take the photo. I just want you to stop.
And I thought to myself, Oh, they're really not into this,
like they should be enjoying it a lot more because
they're getting and.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
They didn't even have to ask.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
They're getting the start treatment. And they looked really confused,
and I was kind of like, oh, this is this
is not what I was expecting. You know, you're welcome,
and then they go, oh, can you just take a
photo of them. They didn't know who I was, and
they just.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Thought this guy looks like.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I just wanted a photo. And then here's me getting
up out of my seat, just being the good man
that I am. No, man, I was so confused and
I was like, oh, yeah, you just okay.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Did you tell them?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Do You're like, well, here's my ar's my Wikipedia.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
I I just took a couple of steps back and
I was like, I'll take a photo everyone. There you go.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
That is absolutely mortifying.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
I got my coffee and I went home and I
was like, damn it.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know that that has happened to me before, where
it's it's been close but not quite that where somebody
has come up in staid excuse me, and they've got
their phone out and I'm like, oh, they're going to
want a photo and I was like.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yes, and they just wanted directions.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
No, they just want you to take a photo of
them exactly that It's like you're at a lookout or
something and they thought that You're like, they want a photo,
but that the absolutely don't.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
It's very mortiful.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, thank you, thank you making me feel a little
bit better about myself.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
Did they even try to ask you who you were?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
They just I was being quirky, funny guy and they
were just so confused by it all.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
So anyway, they put a complaint in that there's some
creep at the cafe.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Hopefully this radio show will reignite my celebrity flame.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Okay, so if you see Maddy J, please go up
and ask me make.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
You feel better, love of God, I need it.
