Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts heem More Kiss podcast playlist and listen
live on the Free iHeart App.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I got myself into a real pickle, Laura by choosing
the fiance.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
That I have.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I mean, he's great, He's writing the People's Fine.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
So my fiance is German. Well he's Swiss, but he
speaks Swiss, German and German. So I've been trying to
learn German. It is so hard. I've essentially given up.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
You have been trying to learn German for two years,
and I don't I didn't want to insult you, but
I don't think you've made any progress or However, I
find it quite funny because you're the first person to
pick on Ben when he says something wrong in English.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
He's fifth language, but he.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Speaks literally six different languages.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
He speaks five languages, and I have so much satisfaction
when he gets a word wrong.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
But I don't give him a hard time. I just
couldn't laugh at him. The audacity that you have to
correct him in his English speaking when he can speak everything.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
One hundred percent, and I understand what that says about me.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
He did right. I did have a giggle.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's really cute. His English is amazing. I cannot falter it.
But sometimes English is hard to write and read.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
But yes, say, he did write to me and he
said he had a toasty for lunch and he wrote
t ow stie and I thought that was really cute
toasty but that's how.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
It sounds right anyway. So he now lives in Italy.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
So I just went to Italy and now I've realized
that I.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Need to learn Italian.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
It's a new language. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So I went over there, and I did have a
few mishaps with not being able to understand what I
was buying. So my sister and her partner also came
over and they had their little baby, Maya, who's ten
months old. And I went to the supermarkets to get
some things, and my sister asked me to also get
some baby food and I was like, yeah, cool, And
I was like what does she have and she's like, oh,

(01:48):
just get.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
The No, She's like, get some of.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Those because it's easy, right, like the yoga pouches that
come with a swivel top. You squeeze them out like
you all know those yoga pouches that.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Is literally Rafferty's oh is it?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Well, I don't have a kid.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't know the names.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Sorry, and this is not sponsored Lauren.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Sorry, it's it's just the one that I used to buy. Okay.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
So anyway, I got some other stuff ben too.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
So fast forward.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I go to my sisters to give her the baby food,
and I'm in charge of feeding the baby because I'm
you know, I'm like taking all the time I can
with my niece.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
I'm like, do I want to have this soon? Do
orant my own child? Let's let's see.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
So I opened the yo yet my sister's like a
couple of meters away, and I go to squeeze out
and I was like, that doesn't.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Look right, and my sister looks over she goes. I
was like, is this what this is supposed to look like?
And she's like, what the hell is that?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
No?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
I go down and sniff it.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Dog food.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
I got a squeezy pouch of dog.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Food that I was about to feed my ten month
old niece.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Catfood would have been worse, e white dish smell it.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, maybe it was cat food.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
It was some kind of pet food. But in my defense,
it was quite like neutral packaging. And then there was
just like this really fine line art drawing of what
turned out to be an animal's face in a bottom corner.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't think that this is something that is like
specific to being in another country. I don't know if
you remember this, Bree. It was a long time ago now,
but I got sent I have a dog. I do
I have a dog. I got sent a beautiful package
of what were little doughnut biscuits, and like it was
obviously from a very organic brand, made very naturally. It

(03:18):
looked like something that you could have picked up at
the farmer's markets. And they were these cute little doughnut biscuits.
I had icing on top, and they were in little
individual bags. And my nephew at the time came over,
he was about four, and I gave it to him.
Didn't read the packaging, didn't pay any attention to it,
and I handed him dog biscuits, of which he ate
all of them, which so at least I took it

(03:40):
one step further. You ended it before it could have
gotten worse. But like, you know what, he's never had
nicer biscuits. To be fair, he's say immaculate.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
His hair was so shiny. Male's amazing.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I think my sister thinks I can't be in charge
of looking after myyer anymore, because then I went to
make his coffees. This is the same day from the
same shop, went to make his coffees, and I went
to pour in, like the long life milk into.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
The coffee chicken stock, because it.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Both It just comes in the exact same I don't
like it. You know those like cardboard cartons. It comes
in the same thing. And I can't read Italian.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
It's weird that one of them has a picture of
a chicken on the front.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
But like, you would never guess that they didn't just
milk a chicken in Italy anyway.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It was chicken stock, so obviously canned that and canned
the baby food.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Mine did not eat the baby food.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
But I'm like, what am I gonna do?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
How am I ever going to go and live over
there successfully if I can't read anything.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
No, just smell things before you take really a stance.
I did. That's how I knew it was chicken stock.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
I was like, this is really salty.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I feel like maybe you just need to let Ben
be in charge of everything from now on.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Oh, don't let him hears it
