Speaker 1 (00:00):
Life is an endless series of train wrecks with only
brief commercial like breaks of happiness.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hello, Hello, Hello, Tilly. I've missed Jack, Grace, I've missed
you even more. How are we guys?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Missed you too?
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Right?
Speaker 5 (00:16):
Okay, so let's get into it. Just straight up tell
us about Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Let's let's let's definitely let's let's start there, all right, guys,
So this is crazy, right, Tilly, you couldn't even care
about Lebron. Everyone listening right now, though, Lebron James, the
goat ball gats. I was in Chicago at the draft Combine. Yeah,
so I'm looking down. I think I'm looking down at
my phone, and I'm walking just within like the basketball gym,
and literally I look up. As I look up, I'm
(00:44):
looking at Lebron James in the eyes, Lebron like the
goat of all.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
What's the proximity.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh, I'm talking like less than a meter, less than
a meter from Lebron, and I'm staring at him in
the eyes. He's staring at me. And then he walked by.
My stomach just fell out of itself and I turned
back around. I turned back around because Lebron was going
to watch his son at the Draft Combine. I turned
back around to just go sit down and like be
(01:10):
amongst his aura, because Lebron is just, you know what
I mean, the goat of all ghost like it was
just crazy and he was here and he came in
like with his hoodie on and everything, trying trying to
stay real low key, but guys, man, that was and
that that's the second time I've seen Broun like that close,
because it was not long ago at All Star weekend,
but like that was just like the last thing I
expected to look up at as I looked up, you
(01:32):
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah, Well, actually the thing here, the stitch up is
it actually wasn't Lebron.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Who was it?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
What it was just like this magical guy in a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
He was Oh you think you think.
Speaker 7 (01:45):
It was like.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Wait, hang on, what did it feel like, Molly? When
you looked up you saw him, he saw you? Your
eyes touched, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
My eyes literally touched. It was like I saw a
ghost because for some weird reason, I just didn't, you know,
expect obviously his son's competing at the combine, but I
didn't expect to see him at all.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Actually, that his son is competing.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, he's trying to.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
We haven't even talked about the funny part of this.
Marley literally sends us into our group chat, like photos
of him with these celebrity basketball players.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah. He trying to call me like a million times,
blowing up my phone and I'm like, sorry, I can't
talk literally about the interview, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Literally about to pash Lebron.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
And I'm like, true the hell?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah? So yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Well moving on. Congratulations.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Wait just for reference, so that people understand, I presume
this is not just like a normal celebrity to you.
Because you went to college American college for basketball and
like you are currently doing some work with their NBA.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
This is a big deal for you. This is like
if I saw Paris Hilton.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, Paris Hilton, Taylor Swift. Do you think Taylor.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Swift about that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay? Yeah, but okay Paris then yeah. Like it's like
I feel like anyone, even if you're not in this
space and you see Lebron, you're like, whoa if you
actually know who they are, but Tilly obviously doesn't. But well,
I like, he's like the greatest basketball player of all time.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Literally, yeah, literally, what's the goat means?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Don't say, don't say what you were saying the other
day till you're literally you're so cat. She's already got
one strike here, grace strike alive. Yeah, guys, if Tilly,
if Tilly blows this, she's got three strikes. All right,
my god, how long did it take her? She's so cat?
(03:47):
Let's get into this week.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Okay, well, we're talking about ADHD.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We are talking about ADHD right now.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
This is not even a train. This is ADHD.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And I feel like I've got I feel like like,
at some point we need to do a test, guys
and see if I actually have ADHD, because I feel
like I do really race, I'm all over the place.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
The test is so dumb. It's like you literally like
go on this computer screen, tap some triangles. Really yeah,
it's like the dumbest test ever, and you spend six
hundred dollars to get diagnosed.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Wait what I thought it was more like verbal therapy
of like.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I feel like a legitimate test is not it's not.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Okay, I did child ADHD, so maybe your guys is different.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, but that kind of makes sense because surely you'd
be able to tell, like there should be able to
be like puzzles that people with an ADHD brain can't do,
like that type of thing that doesn't make puzzles. It's
like that.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. It's like Marley when you
do it, it's pretty It's like you sit on a
computer screen, you do some tests, then you sit and
like it's like those therapy sessions in the movie where
they like.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Have cards and they're like, what do you see on
this card?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, this sounds fine.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Paintings.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, yeah, let's do that live. Let's do that live
and bring it. Let's bring this to everyone on the pod.
How much does it cost to try and get a diagnosis.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's like thousands of dollars.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
That's tough.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
But we'll just get my dad to like falsely die.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, we'll get your dad to come in because he's
a psychologist.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
You know what is interesting about ADHD though, Like how
it's trending on TikTok right now, is it? Yeah, Like
it's massively trending on TikTok and now you can't even
get in to get your meds because TikTok has made
it such a thing that everyone's getting diagnosed. And I
actually got canceled because I posted this video. Right, it's
(05:33):
not bad, it's not bad, swear to god. So I
posted this video and I was like, it's really annoying
because every white girl is getting diagnosed with ADHD because
they've seen like these trends on TikTok.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
So now everyone thinks.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Is it becoming like a yeah, like a fan, it's
becoming like.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Exactly exactly and even get intogether.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Trying to be diagnosed as a trend.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Well, this is where I got in trouble because I
posted the video at like nine pm at night, woke
up in the morning, had like fifteen million comments, and
I was like, what the hell? What have I done wrong?
And everyone was like, this is so like neglectful of
you to like speak like this. You're basically being rude
to people that are trying to get a diagnosis, Like
(06:22):
it's really great that TikTok's allowing people to get diagnosed,
which I do see two ends to the spectrum, because
like I can totally imagine some dumb white people being like,
oh my god, I'm I'm so ADHD. I'm gonna get
diagnosed and get on riddle and so I can get skinny.
And then on the other end of the spectrum, there's
someone like my mum who struggled with it her whole
life and might see some informative information on TikTok and
(06:45):
be like, yeah, I have it, So this is good to.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Know I've Actually I know exactly what you're talking about.
I saw a post on Instagram yesterday that I actually saved.
It talks about how like people are trying to make
like being diagnosed with ADHD, they're like anesthetic. This is
(07:09):
some of the videos like I'm so ADHD.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And me and like the pile of clothes on my
bed look at.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Each other like this a bit serious.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Like I can't even like like it's I know, it's
annoying when people like say like I'm so DHD, but
it's like you have to understand that some of us
are actually struggling terribly.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I think it's the thing. And then he says at
the end like ADHD can't be your aesthetic or something.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Like that, Well, this is what I was trying to say.
It's very infuriating somebody like as me personally suffered with
it very badly throughout high school, but more so the
thing was ADHD comes with like a whole spectrum of
other issues, like often when you're diagnosed with ADHD, you're
diagnosed with OCD, which I also was, so I was
(07:59):
not only taking I.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Was telling for sure as well.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Right, yeah, yeah, which is why I say to you,
you probably do have ADHD, but it comes with a
whole other spectrum of problems like which you don't even realize.
So it's not just like, oh my god, I'm so ADHD.
I forgot I left my phone on the table. Like
it's like that it's such a big deal, which people
don't even realize, and some of us proper struggled with it.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So when you get offended when you see stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
No, I'm not offended. I'm just like it's like you said,
I'm like, you, you don't actually have it like some
of these people. I'm like, yeah, do you just want
it because you want the medication? Like what is this?
It's annoying, but yeah, crazy people.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
I'm like, it's great.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But yeah, I think i'd be a little terrified though.
It's riddling that you take.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Right, Like, there's lots of options.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, I feel like I don't know how that would
make me feel, but however it makes me feel. I've
heard a lot of like people say that it like
changes your whole life, and you're like, oh my god,
this is how I'm supposed to feel, how my brain
is supposed to work right now. Like I'd be scared
to have that happen if let's say I did have
it right and then take the medication and then be like, oh,
I don't actually want to feel like this, like this
is weird.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Have you guys, Yeah, have you seen that rumor where
it's like, if you have ADHD and you take the
medication for it, it will work and you'll feel like
a normal person. But if you don't have ADHD and
you take the medication, it will have the opposite effect.
I don't know if it's true, but I feel like
(09:27):
when we were younger, like you put your medication like
out to the world and sell it like what, Well,
I was underage, so it's like it's legal.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's underage, so it's legally.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
That's how I was making bank back in the day.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wait, how much were you selling? How much were you
selling your riddlin for?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Okay, this is the funny place. Are you selling the
wait Tom heard this the other day, okay the other day.
So people thought they were buying like riddling off me,
like five or ten dollars for a pill. But the
thing is I was selling my sugar pills from the
pill no, so they thought they were having.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No like, I am not on board with that.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Do you know what the sugar pill is, Moley, It's
an with nothing in it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
A sugar pill.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I think the sugar pill. Yeah, the sugar pill. Yeah. Yeah,
So the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Power did not do that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Do you know how your pill packet works?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
It has all the mormona ones, but then for the
four days of your period, there's nothing on those tablets.
And they just shared tablets, but it's so that you
remember them.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You don't even have married.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
And I give people the white sugar pill and they thought,
are you crafty little girl?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So where you were making them serious, you were making
them serious bread office huh. Yeah, you know what, Good
on you, Good on you.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And I was under eighteen. Let's just say that as
soon as I was eighteen stoop.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Okay. So you often talk about your ADHD curse, Tilly, Yes,
and you guys put a call out on socials asking
for people to send in the ADHD stories.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Right, Yes, we did, we did, Gang, We are going
to get into some really good ADHD stories. I haven't guys,
mind you, I didn't want to. I don't know what
stories you're gonna pick it till because we've got a
lot and we might have a voice memo in there too,
but I haven't listened to anything. I really wanted to
be surprised today.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Wait, okay, Grace, Yeah, as a producer, let's use your
logic here. Should we start with some like actual mini
stories that have been sent in on the gram just
quickly to give people a little stimpet of ADHD. I reckon, Okay,
let's start there and in like what's the word? How
would you say? Like in ADHD? Like it's typical in
(11:42):
ADHD form that these stories are like literally so short.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Okay, So these are some dms from ADHD is yeah,
being sent in Let's.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Say, okay, and they're shorties, but like if you're an
ADHD queen or king, you will relate, okay, Okay, So
first one, well, my is a proper train wreck constantly.
I know I have five to six tasks to smash
out when I wake up from night shift. I always
make a start to all tasks, but will never complete
one unless my partner pushes me to really dig in.
(12:13):
Or I'll leave all tasks an hour to go and
just somehow get them done under pressure. And that is
facts on ADHD. Everything you leave to last minute procrastination,
All right, Next ADHD story. Yeah, once I boiled some
partner and went to school, I went to have my
lunch and sit down, realizing the past was burning away
in the pot. Four hours later, Luckily I didn't burn
(12:37):
the house down. Oh you know what, Just on that one,
we were having like a little gallo at the Netple
courts near my house. When we were younger, my dad
gather like a gathering, that's what you call them when
you were young and when you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Were selling sugar pills exactly we knew it was.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
People would drink with it anyway, so we were all underage.
Underage of course anyway, So we were going to like
this little gather across the road. But I knew everyone
would end up back at mine, all the girls, so
(13:18):
we put pizza on. But for whatever reason, I forgot
the pizza, so Dad got home. The pizza was black
like all black. I'm talking to this microphone.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Color right, like completely burnt child.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
My dad sees the whole house in smoked, all the
alarms going on everything.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
So of course Ross runs over to the Nettle courts,
knowing where there we weren't home on time. Ross is like,
oh my god, the house is burned down, Like what's happening? Ross?
And know there was a pizza in the oven. He
just thought there was smoke everywhere completely. Yeah, He's like,
oh my god, what's wrong, Like where's my kid? Like
thinking I've run across the Netwle courts find safety or something.
(14:01):
And yeah, anyway, Nearly said some vire so I can
fully relate to that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Have you seen that viral video on my TikTok And
it's literally the flame on my saucepan is fully green
because I left their eggs boiling for four hours or
something and everyone's abusing me in the comments. She's so dumb,
She's so dumb, like and I'm like, this is literally
adhd Like I completely forgot I was boiling eggs. They're like, oh,
(14:30):
we need water to boil eggs. I'm like, you don't
think I put water in there. Water boiled out.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It boiled away, Babe, it boiled away.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you regularly take your riddlin like as you're supposed
to be so consistent?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah, I know, I've completely like changed course and now
I take like I I guess I make measures in
my life that will make my ADHD better. For example,
having a really good diet, cutting out sugar, cutting out cafe.
Just that just helps really well. Yeah, if you're eating
(15:04):
well and having celery juice will completely like reduce your ADHD.
But yeah, the thing is, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Haven't tried it, but I mean, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Going to be disgusting. Is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I won't drinking dirty water's dirty water juice. I'll try anything.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Anyway, Guys, celery juice for ADHD. But regardless, if I
think the medication honestly it ruined my life. Really makes
you it makes you so skinny you literally can't eat,
It makes you highly highly anxious.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
What are these all side effects? Flagging here? By the way,
this is not medical advice. Please with your healthcare profession
and don't go to experience.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I want to, I want to dive into this when
we actually.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, all right next short story. I love the start
of this story. It says I forgot most of my
typical ADHD fashion.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
So good, that could be the whole thing right there,
and I.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Feel like, here's my story, and then that's it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Okay. I avoided both my car and engagement ring warranty
by forgetting to book the appointment. I organized the night
away in Melbourne, three hour drive to see a comedy
show for my fiance's birthday, only to realize, well out
for dinner before the show, I'd booked the weekend just gone,
So now we had nothing to do that night. Oh
(16:37):
my god, they've driven three hours. No wrong day, no that.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Oh I hate that. That makes me say that too.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So then then they had to drive three hours back
like obviously story you know.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Yeah, well they would have had to do it the
next weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Hate that.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Next okay. I flew to another state and impulse bought
my boyfriend and knew ute and drove it home Melbourne
to Sydney. Flew out six am, got home eleven thirty pm,
and the whole time he thought I was at work,
I was in serious trouble. My spending beyond normal. I
don't even remember buying.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's bad.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Wait the yeah, this.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Is blackout, wake up and you bought you this is normal.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
The other day, literally.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The other day and you're just buying.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
No, this is what happens. Me and Tom. The other day,
I was like, we were going shopping and I was like, oh,
we're just going to buy a barbecue. Like we just
went past and literally just buy a seven hundred dollar barbie.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, that's not ADHD. That's a huge investment right there,
getting barbecue. Yeah, that's a great you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Yeah, it was a good investment. Yeah, okay, anyway, that's
all ours.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Oh that's really good. Today the community really pulled through.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh yeah, that was huge. Guys. Thank you for those stories.
Please do continue sending these.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
My god, I'm going to bring up a voice memo
that a listener sent in. Okay, and I'm just going
to play the whole thing and you guys can react. Okay,
all right, guys, here we go.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
So me and my vesto were just about to leave
for like a multi month overseas trip, and we were
essentially packing up our house so we could sublet it
while we're away. So like hauling all of our stuff
from our fifth floor apartment into the basement where my
(18:43):
car was packing my car so I could take all of.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
My stuff to my parents' house.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Somewhere along the way, I lose the only key to
my car, so I'm like sifting through all of my
staff unpacking boxes and repacking them.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
To try and find this key, and I.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Kind of just resigned to the fact I'm going to
need to call somebody. The locksmith calms like disassembles my
whole car door to cut me a new key. Later,
I'm like, it's whatever, I just need to do it
(19:25):
so I can move on with my life. So I
drive over to my friend's house to pick her up
before I took all my stuff to my parents place,
and I realize I don't have my phone. So again
we're like rummaging through my car trying to find my phone,
(19:45):
and I kind of have this vague memory of putting
the phone on the windshield of the car, so I've
obviously driven off with the phone on the windscreen.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Oh oh my god.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
So we do to find my friends go back to
the location, literally on our hands and knees, scouring this
random street, like looking in the gutters and the grass.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Trying to find my phone.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
We work out that it's in one of the apartment
buildings surrounding what someone has it in one of the
apartment buildings. Me and my friend looking at each other
like we're not about to confront someone on their doorstep asking.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
For my phone giving sally.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
The sun is setting. We just need to.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Like get going, and so she did not dollars down the.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Star. This is stressing me out. This is stressing me out, undiagnosed.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Adhd was definitely holding my hand that day, and I
have really nothing to show for it. I actually ended
up going to a party and someone just had a
spare phone lying around, so it worked.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Ye, that's the thing. So guys the other day fashion Week?
Did I tell you? Fashion Week? Day one? Call Tom
and I'm like, oh my god, babe, where are you.
I've locked myself out of the apartment, all my outfits,
my car, keys, everything. I'm running along Freshwater.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Road in my bra calling my dad.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Dad picked me up, Like I meant.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
To you, Why did you go outside?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Because I thought I had my keys. I get changed
in my car, like I put my work stuff on
in my car. I don't bring it up to the apartment,
like I put my jumper on down there and I
just like wear like a little crop top. So I'm
running along fresh Water Road in the rain, fresh tan
hair and makeup done, and I called a locksmith. I'm like, okay,
can I please get a quote? He goes anywhere from
(22:00):
what she said anywhere from eighty dollars to six hundred.
And I cut my losses.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Here that that's insane, not worth it. Wait just quickly
on the story that we just heard, she lost her phone,
tracked it, did find my iPhone.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That door.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
In fact, I would have been a loud speaker on
and like whoever stole on my phone? Or it is
better not dress up as a policeman go knocking on
everyone's door.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
And that's the one exactly one once.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Again, not illegal, not illegal. Yeah, I would for sure
go and get my phone, and man, that would have
you know, that's the kind of thing with me, guys.
I'm really bad, man, I'm really bad that that's the
kind of thing to ruin. That's why I really commend
people like that. And Tilly as well, she would do
this as well. But I couldn't like go on that
holiday or vacation like, you know, in the same light
(22:56):
that I was about to leave with, like I would
almost damn near cancel the whole thing, you know what
I mean? If that happens to me, it would ruin
everything for me.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It all looked out in the end. Someone just like
gave this person a phone and was like, you're at
a party, I've got a spare phone. There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's actually she didn't confirm the phone like it could have,
just didn't confirm.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
She found so true my phone, Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
we actually have one more voice member. Do you want
to hear yea, let's go. Okay, So this one is
actually from a friend of mine who I specifically texted
when I knew we were doing this story this episode
(23:38):
on ADHD because she has just been diagnosed with ADHD,
like properly and crazily she realized she had ADHD from TikTok.
So I suppose there are you know, as much as
there is some times there are also successful.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
So you just showed us your friend and she doesn't
look like the type to just fake ADHD personality.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
But she started hosting story times on TikTok and everyone
was commenting on her videos on TikTok saying, oh my god,
you're so ADHD haha, like I'd love your ADHD styles storytelling.
And she was like, wait, whatsed before she was diagnosed
And then she was like, hang on, this actually really
checks out. Started learning about on TikTok and now fully
(24:21):
is diagnosed with ad Anyway, so I checked her and
I was like, I know you would have some ADHD
stories for me. Send me what you got, and this
is what she sent us. Her name's Annie Hamilton. All
let's fucking go, let's do it.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I was in Iceland a few years ago, traveling alone.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
At one point I hired a car to drive around
for a few days.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
But I didn't really plan anything in advance.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I hadn't really figured out where there was accommodations town
restaurants that would be open, and at that time of year,
because it was going into winter, a lot of the
restaurants and hotels are closed, and.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
I didn't have a phone with me, but I around.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
One day, I was driving for a few hours and
I hadn't found anywhere to buy food, and I was
really hungry, and I knew that there was a place
like two hours further down the road that had a
guest house that I could stay out, that had a restaurant.
So I was driving there, but it was getting dark.
It was like dusk and it was sprinkling with rain,
(25:23):
and it was going into winter, so it was pretty cold.
And on either side of the road, as far as
that I could see, it was these lava fields that's
just like mossy lava rocks, and it's so misty and
it looks like something out of the medieval.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Fairy tale.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's pretty incredible. And on one side of the road
I saw in the distance, maybe fifty meters off the road,
this really old, cool looking haunted house. It was like
a stone It was like a stone cottage covered in
masts with the turf roof on top.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
So love it.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yeah, like stereotypical Icelandic. So I was like, Okay, I
know that I'm cold and hungry and it's getting dark,
and I don't know where I'm going, but I need
to stop and take a photo. So I pull over,
I get out of the car, and I start climbing
over or walking over these lava rocks that are really mossy,
so they're kind of surpree, and I've got my camera
(26:21):
and I'm walking.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Towards this house.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I get about halfway to the house and I turn
around and look back at my car, and my car
was driving away.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
It really is haunted.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
I have a moment of out of confusion, and then
I think, fuck my car, and I start like sprinting back,
like climbing, trying to get as fasts I can over
these mossy LVA rocks and look back to the road
back to my car, and I start chasing my car down.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
The d was like, oh, quite fast. So I run
up to the car and I start chasing the car.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And at this point I'm like really running quite like
it's quite going quite fast, And I run and catch
up to the door and open the door to leave in.
But then I realized because they drive on the other
side of.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
The road.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Side, run around the back of the car, run.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Around to the driver's side door, which at this point
like it was going. It was going like as fast
as I could run. It was actually.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
At the time, I was just like mission impossible. Got
to do it.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Leave in and like put my foot on the brake
and stop the car. Unluckily, like get in safely in
The car stops, but I'm like, how did this happen? Like,
what the fuck is going on? This is haunted? And
I looked down and not only had I left.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
The handbrake, I hadn't put the handbrake up. I had
left the car and drive.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I'd literally just been driving on and I stopped, put
my foot on the brake and then gone old house
and got out of the car.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Drive on like a slight hill. Oh I had gone
off the road, it would have crashed into the love rocks.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
And she had no phone, with no phone, literally the rain.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Going into winter in the middle of nowhere in Iceland.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Tragic, tragic.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
What I'm most concerned about is that she went into
the ghost house.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
The part that concerns me is the fact that she
left that car on, And that's giving me PTSD of
the story that you told us, Tilly.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
We don't know the.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Story last year. Last year, I literally was I don't
know what I was doing, rushing around. I parked my
car on the street. I hand break up car and
neutral I'm going having a nice shower. The neighbor comes,
knocks on the door. Mom comes she and like says
to Mom, what is Cilly? Okay? My car had fully
rolled down the streets, smashed into the neighbors car. What
(29:00):
kissing the neighbors car? My boss has texted me. He's like, hey,
till you all good? No, yes, because my cars run
down the street.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You're like, yep, yeah, rolled all the way down. That's tragic. Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Oh my god. Should we go into train wreck tips?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Train wreck tips?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh my god, I've got one. You're ready. Here's my
train wreck tip.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
This is I need some advice this week.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
So yeah, no, I got you with some good advice
this week. Grace. I'm gonna I'm gonna really lift you
up here. Okay. So I went to this conference recently,
this wealth and Wellness conference. I was there like all day,
like eight hours, and it was great. It was amazing.
But one thing that stood out was this guy like
he was talking about wealth, and he was talking about
just wins like in life, like and if you map
out your wins over like a month or a week
(29:49):
or a year, whatever, it might be like, and it
could it could. This could refer to anything right in life,
but like in regards to wealth, it was like, if
you have more wins then you do losses, you will
be like successful by the end. Of it, or at
least give yourself a real good chance at being successful
or reaching that's that place where you want to Like
it's it's not all about winning all the time. But
(30:11):
as long as you have more wins than you do losses,
you can reach that you know, that milestone that you
want to get to or wherever it might be. And
I was just thinking, like in regards to us and
life being a train wreck in this whole podcast, like
you're gonna have a lot of train wrecks going on
in your life, right, but just as long as you
keep that train on the tracks more than you do
it veering off or running into walls, you're gonna win.
(30:34):
You know what I mean? In life?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I mean love, Yeah, Like there should be more good
than bad.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, more good than bad as long as you like
and there's always I think, yeah, and understand that, Like
you're going to have l's and you're gonna have losses,
and you're gonna have bad like and that's okay. Just
try and tell you up more wins than you do losses.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Well, that was really deep and mature because my train
wreck tip says, I quote, sell your riddle it you
will make a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Oh my god, guys, we're straight off going to get
sued any day, I swear to gods.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, I just don't stay away from it, just stay
away from it all. Let's not listen it until he's
train rectipa.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Don't tell any medication.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Yeah, my god, genuinely don't. I have a very lucky life,
don't you do?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You do? Thank you for listening. If you've made it
this far, please do give this podcast a five star
review or give you know what, give it whatever review
you want. Just as long as you review it, we'd
really appreciate it. Not a one though.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah we love it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah we love, love, love it. But yeah, thank you
guys for listening. That was That was great. Thanks for
the stories.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Too, Yes, thank you for those. You
Life is an endless series of train wrecks with only
brief commercial like breaks of happiness.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Hello, Hello, Hello, Tilly. I've missed Jack, Grace, I've missed
you even more. How are we guys?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Missed you too?
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Right?
Speaker 5 (00:16):
Okay, so let's get into it. Just straight up tell
us about Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Let's let's let's definitely let's let's start there, all right, guys,
So this is crazy, right, Tilly, you couldn't even care
about Lebron. Everyone listening right now, though, Lebron James, the
goat ball gats. I was in Chicago at the draft Combine. Yeah,
so I'm looking down. I think I'm looking down at
my phone, and I'm walking just within like the basketball gym,
and literally I look up. As I look up, I'm
(00:44):
looking at Lebron James in the eyes, Lebron like the
goat of all.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
What's the proximity.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh, I'm talking like less than a meter, less than
a meter from Lebron, and I'm staring at him in
the eyes. He's staring at me. And then he walked by.
My stomach just fell out of itself and I turned
back around. I turned back around because Lebron was going
to watch his son at the Draft Combine. I turned
back around to just go sit down and like be
(01:10):
amongst his aura, because Lebron is just, you know what
I mean, the goat of all ghost like it was
just crazy and he was here and he came in
like with his hoodie on and everything, trying trying to
stay real low key, but guys, man, that was and
that that's the second time I've seen Broun like that close,
because it was not long ago at All Star weekend,
but like that was just like the last thing I
expected to look up at as I looked up, you
(01:32):
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah, Well, actually the thing here, the stitch up is
it actually wasn't Lebron.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Who was it?
Speaker 6 (01:38):
What it was just like this magical guy in a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
He was Oh you think you think.
Speaker 7 (01:45):
It was like.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Wait, hang on, what did it feel like, Molly? When
you looked up you saw him, he saw you? Your
eyes touched, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
My eyes literally touched. It was like I saw a
ghost because for some weird reason, I just didn't, you know,
expect obviously his son's competing at the combine, but I
didn't expect to see him at all.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Actually, that his son is competing.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, he's trying to.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
We haven't even talked about the funny part of this.
Marley literally sends us into our group chat, like photos
of him with these celebrity basketball players.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah. He trying to call me like a million times,
blowing up my phone and I'm like, sorry, I can't
talk literally about the interview, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Literally about to pash Lebron.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
And I'm like, true the hell?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah? So yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Well moving on. Congratulations.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Wait just for reference, so that people understand, I presume
this is not just like a normal celebrity to you.
Because you went to college American college for basketball and
like you are currently doing some work with their NBA.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
This is a big deal for you. This is like
if I saw Paris Hilton.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, Paris Hilton, Taylor Swift. Do you think Taylor.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Swift about that?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Okay? Yeah, but okay Paris then yeah. Like it's like
I feel like anyone, even if you're not in this
space and you see Lebron, you're like, whoa if you
actually know who they are, but Tilly obviously doesn't. But well,
I like, he's like the greatest basketball player of all time.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Literally, yeah, literally, what's the goat means?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Don't say, don't say what you were saying the other
day till you're literally you're so cat. She's already got
one strike here, grace strike alive. Yeah, guys, if Tilly,
if Tilly blows this, she's got three strikes. All right,
my god, how long did it take her? She's so cat?
(03:47):
Let's get into this week.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Okay, well, we're talking about ADHD.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We are talking about ADHD right now.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
This is not even a train. This is ADHD.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And I feel like I've got I feel like like,
at some point we need to do a test, guys
and see if I actually have ADHD, because I feel
like I do really race, I'm all over the place.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
The test is so dumb. It's like you literally like
go on this computer screen, tap some triangles. Really yeah,
it's like the dumbest test ever, and you spend six
hundred dollars to get diagnosed.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Wait what I thought it was more like verbal therapy
of like.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I feel like a legitimate test is not it's not.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Okay, I did child ADHD, so maybe your guys is different.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
No, but that kind of makes sense because surely you'd
be able to tell, like there should be able to
be like puzzles that people with an ADHD brain can't do,
like that type of thing that doesn't make puzzles. It's
like that.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. It's like Marley when you
do it, it's pretty It's like you sit on a
computer screen, you do some tests, then you sit and
like it's like those therapy sessions in the movie where
they like.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Have cards and they're like, what do you see on
this card?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, this sounds fine.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Paintings.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, yeah, let's do that live. Let's do that live
and bring it. Let's bring this to everyone on the pod.
How much does it cost to try and get a diagnosis.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's like thousands of dollars.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
That's tough.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
But we'll just get my dad to like falsely die.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, we'll get your dad to come in because he's
a psychologist.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
You know what is interesting about ADHD though, Like how
it's trending on TikTok right now, is it? Yeah, Like
it's massively trending on TikTok and now you can't even
get in to get your meds because TikTok has made
it such a thing that everyone's getting diagnosed. And I
actually got canceled because I posted this video. Right, it's
(05:33):
not bad, it's not bad, swear to god. So I
posted this video and I was like, it's really annoying
because every white girl is getting diagnosed with ADHD because
they've seen like these trends on TikTok.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
So now everyone thinks.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Is it becoming like a yeah, like a fan, it's
becoming like.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Exactly exactly and even get intogether.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Trying to be diagnosed as a trend.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Well, this is where I got in trouble because I
posted the video at like nine pm at night, woke
up in the morning, had like fifteen million comments, and
I was like, what the hell? What have I done wrong?
And everyone was like, this is so like neglectful of
you to like speak like this. You're basically being rude
to people that are trying to get a diagnosis, Like
(06:22):
it's really great that TikTok's allowing people to get diagnosed,
which I do see two ends to the spectrum, because
like I can totally imagine some dumb white people being like,
oh my god, I'm I'm so ADHD. I'm gonna get
diagnosed and get on riddle and so I can get skinny.
And then on the other end of the spectrum, there's
someone like my mum who struggled with it her whole
life and might see some informative information on TikTok and
(06:45):
be like, yeah, I have it, So this is good to.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Know I've Actually I know exactly what you're talking about.
I saw a post on Instagram yesterday that I actually saved.
It talks about how like people are trying to make
like being diagnosed with ADHD, they're like anesthetic. This is
(07:09):
some of the videos like I'm so ADHD.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And me and like the pile of clothes on my
bed look at.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
Each other like this a bit serious.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Like I can't even like like it's I know, it's
annoying when people like say like I'm so DHD, but
it's like you have to understand that some of us
are actually struggling terribly.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I think it's the thing. And then he says at
the end like ADHD can't be your aesthetic or something.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Like that, Well, this is what I was trying to say.
It's very infuriating somebody like as me personally suffered with
it very badly throughout high school, but more so the
thing was ADHD comes with like a whole spectrum of
other issues, like often when you're diagnosed with ADHD, you're
diagnosed with OCD, which I also was, so I was
(07:59):
not only taking I.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Was telling for sure as well.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Right, yeah, yeah, which is why I say to you,
you probably do have ADHD, but it comes with a
whole other spectrum of problems like which you don't even realize.
So it's not just like, oh my god, I'm so ADHD.
I forgot I left my phone on the table. Like
it's like that it's such a big deal, which people
don't even realize, and some of us proper struggled with it.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So when you get offended when you see stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
No, I'm not offended. I'm just like it's like you said,
I'm like, you, you don't actually have it like some
of these people. I'm like, yeah, do you just want
it because you want the medication? Like what is this?
It's annoying, but yeah, crazy people.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
I'm like, it's great.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
But yeah, I think i'd be a little terrified though.
It's riddling that you take.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Right, Like, there's lots of options.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Okay, I feel like I don't know how that would
make me feel, but however it makes me feel. I've
heard a lot of like people say that it like
changes your whole life, and you're like, oh my god,
this is how I'm supposed to feel, how my brain
is supposed to work right now. Like I'd be scared
to have that happen if let's say I did have
it right and then take the medication and then be like, oh,
I don't actually want to feel like this, like this
is weird.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Have you guys, Yeah, have you seen that rumor where
it's like, if you have ADHD and you take the
medication for it, it will work and you'll feel like
a normal person. But if you don't have ADHD and
you take the medication, it will have the opposite effect.
I don't know if it's true, but I feel like
(09:27):
when we were younger, like you put your medication like
out to the world and sell it like what, Well,
I was underage, so it's like it's legal.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's underage, so it's legally.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
That's how I was making bank back in the day.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Wait, how much were you selling? How much were you
selling your riddlin for?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Okay, this is the funny place. Are you selling the
wait Tom heard this the other day, okay the other day.
So people thought they were buying like riddling off me,
like five or ten dollars for a pill. But the
thing is I was selling my sugar pills from the
pill no, so they thought they were having.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
No like, I am not on board with that.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Do you know what the sugar pill is, Moley, It's
an with nothing in it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
A sugar pill.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I think the sugar pill. Yeah, the sugar pill. Yeah. Yeah,
So the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Power did not do that. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Do you know how your pill packet works?
Speaker 5 (10:28):
It has all the mormona ones, but then for the
four days of your period, there's nothing on those tablets.
And they just shared tablets, but it's so that you
remember them.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You don't even have married.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
And I give people the white sugar pill and they thought,
are you crafty little girl?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So where you were making them serious, you were making
them serious bread office huh. Yeah, you know what, Good
on you, Good on you.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
And I was under eighteen. Let's just say that as
soon as I was eighteen stoop.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Okay. So you often talk about your ADHD curse, Tilly, Yes,
and you guys put a call out on socials asking
for people to send in the ADHD stories.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Right, Yes, we did, we did, Gang, We are going
to get into some really good ADHD stories. I haven't guys,
mind you, I didn't want to. I don't know what
stories you're gonna pick it till because we've got a
lot and we might have a voice memo in there too,
but I haven't listened to anything. I really wanted to
be surprised today.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Wait, okay, Grace, Yeah, as a producer, let's use your
logic here. Should we start with some like actual mini
stories that have been sent in on the gram just
quickly to give people a little stimpet of ADHD. I reckon, Okay,
let's start there and in like what's the word? How
would you say? Like in ADHD? Like it's typical in
(11:42):
ADHD form that these stories are like literally so short.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Okay, So these are some dms from ADHD is yeah,
being sent in Let's.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Say, okay, and they're shorties, but like if you're an
ADHD queen or king, you will relate, okay, Okay, So
first one, well, my is a proper train wreck constantly.
I know I have five to six tasks to smash
out when I wake up from night shift. I always
make a start to all tasks, but will never complete
one unless my partner pushes me to really dig in.
(12:13):
Or I'll leave all tasks an hour to go and
just somehow get them done under pressure. And that is
facts on ADHD. Everything you leave to last minute procrastination,
All right, Next ADHD story. Yeah, once I boiled some
partner and went to school, I went to have my
lunch and sit down, realizing the past was burning away
in the pot. Four hours later, Luckily I didn't burn
(12:37):
the house down. Oh you know what, Just on that one,
we were having like a little gallo at the Netple
courts near my house. When we were younger, my dad
gather like a gathering, that's what you call them when
you were young and when you.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Were selling sugar pills exactly we knew it was.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
People would drink with it anyway, so we were all underage.
Underage of course anyway, So we were going to like
this little gather across the road. But I knew everyone
would end up back at mine, all the girls, so
(13:18):
we put pizza on. But for whatever reason, I forgot
the pizza, so Dad got home. The pizza was black
like all black. I'm talking to this microphone.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Color right, like completely burnt child.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
My dad sees the whole house in smoked, all the
alarms going on everything.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
So of course Ross runs over to the Nettle courts,
knowing where there we weren't home on time. Ross is like,
oh my god, the house is burned down, Like what's happening? Ross?
And know there was a pizza in the oven. He
just thought there was smoke everywhere completely. Yeah, He's like,
oh my god, what's wrong, Like where's my kid? Like
thinking I've run across the Netwle courts find safety or something.
(14:01):
And yeah, anyway, Nearly said some vire so I can
fully relate to that.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Have you seen that viral video on my TikTok And
it's literally the flame on my saucepan is fully green
because I left their eggs boiling for four hours or
something and everyone's abusing me in the comments. She's so dumb,
She's so dumb, like and I'm like, this is literally
adhd Like I completely forgot I was boiling eggs. They're like, oh,
(14:30):
we need water to boil eggs. I'm like, you don't
think I put water in there. Water boiled out.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It boiled away, Babe, it boiled away.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Do you regularly take your riddlin like as you're supposed
to be so consistent?
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Yeah, I know, I've completely like changed course and now
I take like I I guess I make measures in
my life that will make my ADHD better. For example,
having a really good diet, cutting out sugar, cutting out cafe.
Just that just helps really well. Yeah, if you're eating
(15:04):
well and having celery juice will completely like reduce your ADHD.
But yeah, the thing is, yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Haven't tried it, but I mean, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Going to be disgusting. Is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I won't drinking dirty water's dirty water juice. I'll try anything.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Anyway, Guys, celery juice for ADHD. But regardless, if I
think the medication honestly it ruined my life. Really makes
you it makes you so skinny you literally can't eat,
It makes you highly highly anxious.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
What are these all side effects? Flagging here? By the way,
this is not medical advice. Please with your healthcare profession
and don't go to experience.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I want to, I want to dive into this when
we actually.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, all right next short story. I love the start
of this story. It says I forgot most of my
typical ADHD fashion.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
So good, that could be the whole thing right there,
and I.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Feel like, here's my story, and then that's it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Okay. I avoided both my car and engagement ring warranty
by forgetting to book the appointment. I organized the night
away in Melbourne, three hour drive to see a comedy
show for my fiance's birthday, only to realize, well out
for dinner before the show, I'd booked the weekend just gone,
So now we had nothing to do that night. Oh
(16:37):
my god, they've driven three hours. No wrong day, no that.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Oh I hate that. That makes me say that too.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So then then they had to drive three hours back
like obviously story you know.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Yeah, well they would have had to do it the
next weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Hate that.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Next okay. I flew to another state and impulse bought
my boyfriend and knew ute and drove it home Melbourne
to Sydney. Flew out six am, got home eleven thirty pm,
and the whole time he thought I was at work,
I was in serious trouble. My spending beyond normal. I
don't even remember buying.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's bad.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Wait the yeah, this.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Is blackout, wake up and you bought you this is normal.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
The other day, literally.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The other day and you're just buying.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
No, this is what happens. Me and Tom. The other day,
I was like, we were going shopping and I was like, oh,
we're just going to buy a barbecue. Like we just
went past and literally just buy a seven hundred dollar barbie.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, that's not ADHD. That's a huge investment right there,
getting barbecue. Yeah, that's a great you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Yeah, it was a good investment. Yeah, okay, anyway, that's
all ours.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Oh that's really good. Today the community really pulled through.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh yeah, that was huge. Guys. Thank you for those stories.
Please do continue sending these.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
My god, I'm going to bring up a voice memo
that a listener sent in. Okay, and I'm just going
to play the whole thing and you guys can react. Okay,
all right, guys, here we go.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
So me and my vesto were just about to leave
for like a multi month overseas trip, and we were
essentially packing up our house so we could sublet it
while we're away. So like hauling all of our stuff
from our fifth floor apartment into the basement where my
(18:43):
car was packing my car so I could take all of.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
My stuff to my parents' house.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Somewhere along the way, I lose the only key to
my car, so I'm like sifting through all of my
staff unpacking boxes and repacking them.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
To try and find this key, and I.
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Kind of just resigned to the fact I'm going to
need to call somebody. The locksmith calms like disassembles my
whole car door to cut me a new key. Later,
I'm like, it's whatever, I just need to do it
(19:25):
so I can move on with my life. So I
drive over to my friend's house to pick her up
before I took all my stuff to my parents place,
and I realize I don't have my phone. So again
we're like rummaging through my car trying to find my phone,
(19:45):
and I kind of have this vague memory of putting
the phone on the windshield of the car, so I've
obviously driven off with the phone on the windscreen.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Oh oh my god.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
So we do to find my friends go back to
the location, literally on our hands and knees, scouring this
random street, like looking in the gutters and the grass.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
Trying to find my phone.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
We work out that it's in one of the apartment
buildings surrounding what someone has it in one of the
apartment buildings. Me and my friend looking at each other
like we're not about to confront someone on their doorstep asking.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
For my phone giving sally.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
The sun is setting. We just need to.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Like get going, and so she did not dollars down the.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Star. This is stressing me out. This is stressing me out, undiagnosed.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Adhd was definitely holding my hand that day, and I
have really nothing to show for it. I actually ended
up going to a party and someone just had a
spare phone lying around, so it worked.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Ye, that's the thing. So guys the other day fashion Week?
Did I tell you? Fashion Week? Day one? Call Tom
and I'm like, oh my god, babe, where are you.
I've locked myself out of the apartment, all my outfits,
my car, keys, everything. I'm running along Freshwater.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Road in my bra calling my dad.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Dad picked me up, Like I meant.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
To you, Why did you go outside?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
Because I thought I had my keys. I get changed
in my car, like I put my work stuff on
in my car. I don't bring it up to the apartment,
like I put my jumper on down there and I
just like wear like a little crop top. So I'm
running along fresh Water Road in the rain, fresh tan
hair and makeup done, and I called a locksmith. I'm like, okay,
can I please get a quote? He goes anywhere from
(22:00):
what she said anywhere from eighty dollars to six hundred.
And I cut my losses.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Here that that's insane, not worth it. Wait just quickly
on the story that we just heard, she lost her phone,
tracked it, did find my iPhone.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That door.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
In fact, I would have been a loud speaker on
and like whoever stole on my phone? Or it is
better not dress up as a policeman go knocking on
everyone's door.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
And that's the one exactly one once.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Again, not illegal, not illegal. Yeah, I would for sure
go and get my phone, and man, that would have
you know, that's the kind of thing with me, guys.
I'm really bad, man, I'm really bad that that's the
kind of thing to ruin. That's why I really commend
people like that. And Tilly as well, she would do
this as well. But I couldn't like go on that
holiday or vacation like, you know, in the same light
(22:56):
that I was about to leave with, like I would
almost damn near cancel the whole thing, you know what
I mean? If that happens to me, it would ruin
everything for me.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It all looked out in the end. Someone just like
gave this person a phone and was like, you're at
a party, I've got a spare phone. There you go.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's actually she didn't confirm the phone like it could have,
just didn't confirm.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
She found so true my phone, Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
we actually have one more voice member. Do you want
to hear yea, let's go. Okay, So this one is
actually from a friend of mine who I specifically texted
when I knew we were doing this story this episode
(23:38):
on ADHD because she has just been diagnosed with ADHD,
like properly and crazily she realized she had ADHD from TikTok.
So I suppose there are you know, as much as
there is some times there are also successful.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
So you just showed us your friend and she doesn't
look like the type to just fake ADHD personality.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
But she started hosting story times on TikTok and everyone
was commenting on her videos on TikTok saying, oh my god,
you're so ADHD haha, like I'd love your ADHD styles storytelling.
And she was like, wait, whatsed before she was diagnosed
And then she was like, hang on, this actually really
checks out. Started learning about on TikTok and now fully
(24:21):
is diagnosed with ad Anyway, so I checked her and
I was like, I know you would have some ADHD
stories for me. Send me what you got, and this
is what she sent us. Her name's Annie Hamilton. All
let's fucking go, let's do it.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
I was in Iceland a few years ago, traveling alone.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
At one point I hired a car to drive around
for a few days.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
But I didn't really plan anything in advance.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I hadn't really figured out where there was accommodations town
restaurants that would be open, and at that time of year,
because it was going into winter, a lot of the
restaurants and hotels are closed, and.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
I didn't have a phone with me, but I around.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
One day, I was driving for a few hours and
I hadn't found anywhere to buy food, and I was
really hungry, and I knew that there was a place
like two hours further down the road that had a
guest house that I could stay out, that had a restaurant.
So I was driving there, but it was getting dark.
It was like dusk and it was sprinkling with rain,
(25:23):
and it was going into winter, so it was pretty cold.
And on either side of the road, as far as
that I could see, it was these lava fields that's
just like mossy lava rocks, and it's so misty and
it looks like something out of the medieval.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
Fairy tale.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's pretty incredible. And on one side of the road
I saw in the distance, maybe fifty meters off the road,
this really old, cool looking haunted house. It was like
a stone It was like a stone cottage covered in
masts with the turf roof on top.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
So love it.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Yeah, like stereotypical Icelandic. So I was like, Okay, I
know that I'm cold and hungry and it's getting dark,
and I don't know where I'm going, but I need
to stop and take a photo. So I pull over,
I get out of the car, and I start climbing
over or walking over these lava rocks that are really mossy,
so they're kind of surpree, and I've got my camera
(26:21):
and I'm walking.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Towards this house.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I get about halfway to the house and I turn
around and look back at my car, and my car
was driving away.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
It really is haunted.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
I have a moment of out of confusion, and then
I think, fuck my car, and I start like sprinting back,
like climbing, trying to get as fasts I can over
these mossy LVA rocks and look back to the road
back to my car, and I start chasing my car down.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
The d was like, oh, quite fast. So I run
up to the car and I start chasing the car.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
And at this point I'm like really running quite like
it's quite going quite fast, And I run and catch
up to the door and open the door to leave in.
But then I realized because they drive on the other
side of.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
The road.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Side, run around the back of the car, run.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Around to the driver's side door, which at this point
like it was going. It was going like as fast
as I could run. It was actually.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
At the time, I was just like mission impossible. Got
to do it.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Leave in and like put my foot on the brake
and stop the car. Unluckily, like get in safely in
The car stops, but I'm like, how did this happen? Like,
what the fuck is going on? This is haunted? And
I looked down and not only had I left.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
The handbrake, I hadn't put the handbrake up. I had
left the car and drive.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I'd literally just been driving on and I stopped, put
my foot on the brake and then gone old house
and got out of the car.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Drive on like a slight hill. Oh I had gone
off the road, it would have crashed into the love rocks.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
And she had no phone, with no phone, literally the rain.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Going into winter in the middle of nowhere in Iceland.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Tragic, tragic.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
What I'm most concerned about is that she went into
the ghost house.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
The part that concerns me is the fact that she
left that car on, And that's giving me PTSD of
the story that you told us, Tilly.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
We don't know the.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Story last year. Last year, I literally was I don't
know what I was doing, rushing around. I parked my
car on the street. I hand break up car and
neutral I'm going having a nice shower. The neighbor comes,
knocks on the door. Mom comes she and like says
to Mom, what is Cilly? Okay? My car had fully
rolled down the streets, smashed into the neighbors car. What
(29:00):
kissing the neighbors car? My boss has texted me. He's like, hey,
till you all good? No, yes, because my cars run
down the street.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
You're like, yep, yeah, rolled all the way down. That's tragic. Wow.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Oh my god. Should we go into train wreck tips?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Train wreck tips?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Oh my god, I've got one. You're ready. Here's my
train wreck tip.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
This is I need some advice this week.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
So yeah, no, I got you with some good advice
this week. Grace. I'm gonna I'm gonna really lift you
up here. Okay. So I went to this conference recently,
this wealth and Wellness conference. I was there like all day,
like eight hours, and it was great. It was amazing.
But one thing that stood out was this guy like
he was talking about wealth, and he was talking about
just wins like in life, like and if you map
out your wins over like a month or a week
(29:49):
or a year, whatever, it might be like, and it
could it could. This could refer to anything right in life,
but like in regards to wealth, it was like, if
you have more wins then you do losses, you will
be like successful by the end. Of it, or at
least give yourself a real good chance at being successful
or reaching that's that place where you want to Like
it's it's not all about winning all the time. But
(30:11):
as long as you have more wins than you do losses,
you can reach that you know, that milestone that you
want to get to or wherever it might be. And
I was just thinking, like in regards to us and
life being a train wreck in this whole podcast, like
you're gonna have a lot of train wrecks going on
in your life, right, but just as long as you
keep that train on the tracks more than you do
it veering off or running into walls, you're gonna win.
(30:34):
You know what I mean? In life?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I mean love, Yeah, Like there should be more good
than bad.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, more good than bad as long as you like
and there's always I think, yeah, and understand that, Like
you're going to have l's and you're gonna have losses,
and you're gonna have bad like and that's okay. Just
try and tell you up more wins than you do losses.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Well, that was really deep and mature because my train
wreck tip says, I quote, sell your riddle it you
will make a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Oh my god, guys, we're straight off going to get
sued any day, I swear to gods.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, I just don't stay away from it, just stay
away from it all. Let's not listen it until he's
train rectipa.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Don't tell any medication.

Yeah, my god, genuinely don't. I have a very lucky life,
don't you do?
Speaker 2 (31:21):

this far, please do give this podcast a five star
review or give you know what, give it whatever review
