Speaker 2 (00:17):
I'm going to come rute out and just tell you
that I've been attacked.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Oh physically, mentally, spiritually.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Not physically, just it was a verbal attack. So recently
for school the holidays, we were down the South coast
and we've just finished the renovation of the house and
the gardening is now complete.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Well, congrat I don't know what you're Yeah, I appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
But I was out the front of the house and
I was watering the garden, okay, watering the flowers.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
The edge of my seat with this story, okay.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
And we're new to the neighborhood as well. There's a
lot of people who walk by walking to the beach
and they, you know, they look in because we've just finished.
They kind of have a few words and you know,
congratulate us and also talk about the old owner. And
obviously I'm more than willing to have the conversation because
I want to fit in amongst the neighborhood to be accepted.
I want to be accepted. I'm a man of the people.
And this old man, he was meandering down the road,

(01:09):
I saw him at a distance, and I clocked him
about five hundred meters away, arms behind his back, under
the wonder as he slowly walked towards me. And look,
a lot of the people in the neighborhood they are
a little bit older. But I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
But you also know when the hands behind the back,
it means something else. It means they're taking things in more.
They are diagesting like sponges they are if your hands
are in front, No, it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Intense hands behind the back, big old sponge. They want
to absorb it all in. And as he was walking
closer to the house, we connected our eyes locked, okay,
as I was watering back and forth in the garden beds,
and I kind of knew to myself, this old guy.
I haven't spoken to him yet, I haven't seen him.
It's the first time. We're going to have a little

(01:52):
interaction here. We're going to have a little chat.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
And you had time to repair because he walked for
a small Yeah, yeah it was I was.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I was there forty five minutes waiting for him to
hobble down the road. But then he came closer towards
me and I said, good a mate, How are you going?
And he said, I'm good. How are you? And I
was settling in for a long chat. And by this time,
put your hands behind your back. I was. I was
one hand hand on the hose, one hand behind the back,
and I was, I was settling in for a good
five to minute chat with a lovely member of the neighborhood.

(02:19):
Yeah right, it's another one to tick on the box
to say they approve of Maddy Jay living here. Yeah, okay.
And then he said something which it cut me like
a knife, like a jagger, straight through the heart.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
What he said, you had a dad board.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
No worse than that, brit Worse than that? He said,
is that all the water pressure you've got? And I
said what do you mean? And he goes, well, it
just looks a little weak, if you know what I'm saying.
And I was like, ah, he dissed you. Well, he
dissed me. And the water pressure on sprinkle mode, wasn't it.

(02:57):
There were flowers in the front garden bed and I
didn't want to damage the flowers with a strong hose
and the water pressure, so I had the hose turn
on the half.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
On, I know, the one the like it was wrinkled.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Gentle sprinkle, because I was considerate of the flowers. Totally,
I'm with you. And I explained that to him and
he goes, sure, and he put his other hand behind
his back and he walked off into the dist.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And you're you're really hurt by him judging. So do
you think he judges you as a person now by
your water pressure?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah? I think it was judging my manhood based on
the water pressure that I was watering.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
The garden because you didn't kill those flowers straight up.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
And I was saying, I can go harder if I
if I wanted to, Why, But I'm doing this for
the flowers.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Do you know this reminds me talking about someone that
is offensive and doesn't mean to be. Maybe he actually
meant to be.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I don't know. Maybe he came in with that dog.
They were fighting words.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
There was a woman that had messaged me just before
my wedding recently and she said, oh, I can't remember
how she said it, but it was like, basically, you're
tween one. Like, because I've been talking about if I
had a pregnancy right now, it's classified as a geriatric
pregnancy because that's what my fertility doctor told me, I'm
thirty seven. Well, actually i'm thirty eight. I was thirty
seven at the time. So she goes, oh, you're like
a double whammy. Not only are you a geriatric pregnancy,

(04:12):
you're a geriatric bride.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And I was like, sorry what she's like, but you're
a beautiful like a beautiful one.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Like so she wasn't trying to be.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Mean, but I was like, just because you say beautiful
at the end, it's like when someone goes no offense.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
At least you got your beautiful. He didn't even mention
anything about the flowers, just the water. Talk about you
six pounds. I know, I was free stop water in
the garden. Sell up.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
You gotta
