Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Welcome to Squall. I'm super excited.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I've been wanting to do this for ages and finally
I bit the bullet.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I actually this is cooked.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
But I actually announced the launch before i'd even finish.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I recorded a.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Whole episode and something hit like late at night. I
was like, oh no, I'm going to completely change it,
like full redirection, classic and last minute cat recording it
the night before. But anyway, so let's get into it.
So my name's Jackie AKA. You might know me as
(00:36):
Cheeky Velvet and if you knew here, Cheeky Velvet is
my musician's stage name. I've been performing pop music for
a while now. I lived in Melbourne for five years
and moved back to Brisbane in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm a brizzy girl. I grew up in Brizzee.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So let me just give a picture for you if
you've never been to a Cheeky Velvet show.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I like to do a little bit of acting.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I actually realized I have a little bit of a
stage voice. When I get into Cheeky Velvet characters. It's
a little bit sultry, a little bit that sounds so
snobby when I do it, like that. Yeah, it's very
a really fun show.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I love a costume.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm very quirky and creative, so like none of my
furniture and my plates aren't normal. As soon as people
come over, I show them my like quirky plate collection.
It's like strawberries and cats and tigers and there's like
a moon plate. It's very weird. But yeah, that's really
reflected in my stage show. It's it's very quirky, and
(01:39):
she's meant to be this like quite naive character and
it's a little bit on the nose. And I've got
a really good sense of humor. Love to inject a
little bit of humor into things. I have been known
to rock up to my gigs in a wedding dress
and marry myself or make Santa my sugar daddy. I've
(02:00):
spoken to God on stage. I know that sounds very blasphemous,
and some shows have ended with me like killing a
boyfriend on stage. It's never a boring day, So that
is exactly why I decided to call this squeal.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'll definitely get some music and some sound effects soon.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I feel like it's a bit sad that the musician
hasn't sorted that shit out, but.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
We'll get on top of that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The one thing that I definitely have sorted out, though,
is this is such a fun episode and I love
a theme. Obviously, you girl cheeky Velvet loves the theme.
And I've got pig references galore, and this first episode
is going to be celebrating pigs with a wild story.
The first segments just follow, you know, so just a
little bit about me, and then we'll get into the
(02:47):
squeal of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'll squeal and reveal.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I have the funniest fucking story in the world, but
we'll save that for a little bit later in the
potty today anyway, and I might just like do give
you guys a recap of kind of where I'm at.
I also graduated from my comms PR degree, so I'm
currently kind of looking at agency roles at the moment,
(03:13):
which is really exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's really weird.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Everything kind of hit this week where I did a
bunch of interviews and they were like, we're going to
get you to do this task, and it all just
kind of hit this week. I got sick, and work
just got like crazy busy all at the same time,
and on top of it, just to troll myself other
than recording an episode late at night.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And being like, oh, get the potty done.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I got a last minute ticket to Katie Perry because
I just couldn't help myself. I was like, I didn't
even realize. This is the fourth time I've seen Katy Perry.
I know everyone, she's very controversial for everyone right now.
But you know what, it was fucking brilliant. She is
such a great live performer. The show was wild. There
was cage dancing, there was like every kind of thing
(04:00):
you can imagine a light show, the timing, the splits,
the acrobatics, she played all her hits and honestly, it
was just a party. I freaking loved it. But yeah,
I'm just loving life at the moment and I've just
got so many things on.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The go, and I thought, fuck it, let's start the party.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But yeah, I just part of starting this was I
love sharing stories. I've got some pretty wild ones, particularly
backstage performing, and I seem to attract some pretty quirky,
kooky characters in my life. I've got some incredible creative friends. Well,
when I moved to Melbourne, I knew two people my
(04:40):
bestie who just love her she's incredible and yeah, basically,
I being a Brisbane girl, I owned like I owned
like jackshit in the winter department. I like packed my keyboard.
I had one faux fur cropped jacket and mini skirts,
(05:02):
crop tops, teas and I.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Was in for a fucking shock. I moved to Melbourne.
I literally I remember.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I was so cold in my sharehouse. I used my
This sounds really sad, but like it's not. I just
think it's funny. I used my hair dryer to like
warm myself up because it was so it was an
old sharehouse and I was just fucking cold. And then
I discovered the joys of all the incredible Sydney Road
op shops and got myself like actual decent like lined jackets,
(05:34):
so I didn't freeze to death. Survived that, and my dad,
also being an Italian, dad was like must protect my daughter.
And I came back to Brisbane to see my auntie,
who was like really really sick at the time. So
I came back to Brisbane and Dad had gone to
(05:55):
every op shop in all of Brisbane and bought every
single like he fought little old ladies over like winter
coats for me. It was actually really sweet. I still
have a lot of them as well. Some of them
some stuff. Dad doesn't have the best taste, but in
other times, you know, he really comes through. He's very
practical and I love it. Anyway, But yeah, So moved
(06:17):
to Melbourne. Met some really cool creative cats. One of
them I just kind of hit the ground running like
a crazy person. Like literally, anyone i'd see on the street,
it'd be like, I just moved to Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
My name is Jackie. I'm a pop musician.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I've got the gift of the gab, very like my mother.
My mom will go up to anyone on the street
and seriously, I love I love that she does this.
Sometimes it used to embarrass my brother and I and
now I love it and I do it to people.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But my mom will go up to any person.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
On the street and she'll tap them on the shoulder
and be like, excuse me, excuse me, and they think
she's about to like tell them off, and she literally
looked them dead in the eye and be like, can
I just say that I love your outfit. So definitely
got that shamelessness from my mum. But anyway, so back
(07:08):
to the story. I was on the tram. It was
the number nineteen in Brunswick or going down Sydney Road,
and on the tram was this girl that just looked
like walking art. I remember she had like silver space
boots on.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think she was wearing hot pink. She just was very,
very quirky.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
She had to really cool her platinum blonde pixie cut.
I think at the time it was quite short. And
she has a tiger head backpack. I don't know if
she still has it, but she even it's like a
fake one of those dream World white tigers. But anyway,
I basically I went up to her and I was
(07:49):
just like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
God, I love your outfit.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh my gosh, I just moved to Melbourne. I'm in
pop music. Do you want to get a coffee with me?
I'd love to like and like get to know you.
Blah la la la.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And she just looked at me like whoa this chick?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I kind of was like, oh, she must hate me,
she must think I'm like this crazy woman. And I
like harangued her. I don't even know if that's the word.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Haranged her for.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Getting her Instagram handle and like trading contact details. And
the next day she sent me this like really big message,
and she was like, I was actually just saying to
my partner on the tram that I just really wanted
to meet someone in pop music and then you literally
just appeared like I would absolutely love to go get
a coffee or a meal with you. Thank you so
(08:41):
much for approaching me. I just I really appreciate that
you had the confidence to do that. And it was
it was like literally a heartwarming message. But anyway, I
tell that story so much. I know she might may
or may not hear this and she'll be like, oh,
not again. But anyway, I'm really excited. Hopefully I will
(09:02):
have some really cool creatives on. Well I'm going to
drag them kicking and screaming onto the pod. But yeah,
let's get into the squeal and reveal of the day.
Throughout my Melbourne time, I did a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Of share housing. If you've ever shared housed, you know
what's up. Like you get it.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You learn a lot of things share housing about a
about a lot of different personality types, how to be
a team player. I had no like I'll be honest,
I had no concept of recycling, and so I was humbled.
My housemates really were like, you need to recycle and
(09:48):
you need to be better. Some were a bit intense.
This one person I live with who were like long long,
not in touch for a long time, but this one
person actually went through the bin and pulled out my
like a Greek hyoga container that I put in the bin.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And was like, you know that goes in hard rubbish, right.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So it definitely taught me some things about who and
who not to live with. But I learned a lot,
and it was a ride, and I've got some of
my best friends came from share housing, and there are
some housemates that I really regret not spending more time
with them and getting to know them better. I had
(10:35):
like a lot of different, you know, personal things going
on while I was sharehousing as well. So uh yeah,
it's just such an incredible experience and if you you know,
I think doing it once in your life is one
of the best things that you could ever do, as
well as you know, leaving mom and Dad's home if
(10:55):
you you know, have the privilege and can afford to
do so, it really does teach you a lot. And
you're gonna get a fucking wild cooked story out of it.
So I'm going to squeal and reveal and so time
for a little squeal and reveal. Yeah, share housing. Literally,
(11:18):
I think my old housemate, he's a buddy of mine.
He I remember he drew a marijuana leaf in permanent
marker on our white fridge and he didn't realize. He
did it toatroll me, and he didn't realize, and it
took a lot of manpower for us to get rid
of that. Another sharehouse they lived in, I remember we
(11:42):
had like this burnt toilet seat. We had two toilets,
but one of them had a burnt seat, which was
just I remember my mom and dad came to visit
and dad saw this burnt seat and he's like, who
had I can't even I can't even.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And say it. It's like who had a fucking curry
last night?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Anyway? Anyway, all right, but what takes the cake? Someone
I share housed with she decided to We were in
Melbourne lockdown and she decided to buy a pig. I'm
(12:27):
not even like, I'm not even fucking with you. She
actually decided to buy a pig. So here's what happened.
So COVID had hit, and we've been in lockdown for
We've been in lockdown for a while. So this was
twenty twenty one, so twenty twenty was out of the picture.
We'd moved into the sharehouse in at the start of
twenty twenty one, about halfway through the year. I think
(12:52):
her partner moved in with us, and towards the start
of the year. So the first six months we weren't
in lockdown. It was actually pretty chill for the first
six months, and then the cases built up in Victoria
and then we went into a full six month not
even joking, six month lockdown or like five ish months
or something.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Pretty crazy time.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I remember missing like a close friend of mine's wedding,
which was like sucky, and yeah, just I have to say.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I did.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
There were actually parts of lockdown I just loved, Like
I started sewing, I went vegan, I wrote an album,
I started studying.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
My new degree.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I just I alone wolf me like I love it
me and alone time, like I just dive into full
activities entertainment and yeah. Anyway, so first six months I
was performing a lot, and I was also running my
own music teaching business, like teaching singing from my house,
(13:59):
and my housemate kind of went to me and she
was like, hey, I'm thinking about getting a dog, like
is that cool? And I just was like, look, like
I'm having students over, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'd really rather not like.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I just we just share house with a friend and
he had a dog, and I was just like, look,
I'd really rather not like.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I just like, I'm a.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Cat person and it could be funked. I don't want
to pet and not when I'm having clients over. I
just I don't think it's gonna be a good look anyway.
So that was at the beginning of the year. We
went into this major lockdown. I think we're in lockdown
for about the two month mark, and we'd just been
in a year of like lockdowns in twenty twenty, so
(14:38):
it was quite like it was kind of like there
was no end insight. So we found So turns out
we had we lived on a main road. So for
the melbourni Ands, we lived on Bell Street in Pasco Vale,
like literally straight onto the highway to the Tellermarine Airport.
(14:58):
Bell Street is like a maje up major road, Like
it is not a quiet road, like the sound of
traffic would lull me to sleep, and you get used
to it. You actually do get used to it.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So we didn't really have a backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It was just like this concrete slab with a big
corrugated fence, like those high corrugated fences, I think that's.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
What they called.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Anyway, my housemate, this is really clever of her. She
like looked over the fence and she realized that we
actually had an empty lot behind us, and the landlord
did own it. He just couldn't be fucked mowing it
and like opening it up for us to have a backyard.
And so she burst through the gate with her partner
and they literally mowed the whole thing down. And so
(15:49):
we kind of like had this little illegal backyard. Like
you know, if we had an inspection, we'd just like,
you know, pretend we didn't bust through the gate. But like, yeah,
we had this backyard, which was great because we were
like fuck yeah, sharehouse parties.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
We can have barbecues out the back.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And in COVID, look, everyone had a buddy that would
come over, just one in the same area. And I think,
like I heard a lot like they authorities were pretty
cool with like you're just you're one person, so that
people don't die of loneliness, YadA, yadda. Anyway, so our
best mate would come over and we'd have like a
(16:27):
little chimen era in the back that kind of thing. Anyway,
so my housemate she goes to me, look, I know
you said no to the dog, but since we have
a backyard, now do you reckon I could get a pig?
And I was like, a pig, really a pig, dude,
(16:48):
that's fucking sick. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Oh I'm so down,
get a pig. Like I think I kind of egged
her on a whole little bit. I totally egged her on.
I don't know if I thought she wouldn't do it,
but I I just was like, let's like fuck around
and find out, like, yeah, get a pig. And so
(17:12):
I was teaching on Zoom because we were in lockdown
and our best friend, our girlfriend, was like, oy, you
need to go like get out of the room, go
into the go into the living room, just do it.
She was like messaging me while I was teaching, and
I'd gotten pretty like lase was zoom teaching, like I
(17:33):
was just so done with it. I was watching Netflix
online shopping and like anyway, so she messaged me and
was like, go into the living room, just just fucking
do it. And so I went into the living room
and my housemate like, she's like, you need to follow
me into my room. And I was like, okay, this
is getting weird now, but all right, and she we
(17:56):
go into her room. There's this suss looking cardboard box
in her room and she opens it up and no shit,
there's a fucking pig in the box. So this is
like suburban Melbourne. Pigs are completely illegal, by the way,
like an illegal pet. I actually couldn't believe it. I like,
(18:19):
I was like overjoyed. I was like, oh my god,
we own a pig.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
What the hell? This is mad.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
This is the best thing ever, like totally irresponsible, I'll
totally admit like, and I was like definitely older than her,
so I feel like I'm like I probably should have
known better, but like, honestly, I was there for the ride, so.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Thank god.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Her partner was like, I'll play bad cop, and he
was like, no, babe, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You can't own a pig.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
No, not sure about this, And like the whole time
he'd be like no, no, no, and she just went
and did it, which I was like sligh. Anyway, So
we set up the pig in the back her and
I made a special trip to get like a dog
(19:08):
kennel off marketplace for it to sleep. I've never like,
I'm not like I love animals. I'm a big, like
animal person. I'm kind of nerdy about animals as well,
But I like, I didn't know what to fucking do
with a pig. So so there was like a lot
of learning that kind of came out, like what they eat,
(19:29):
Like all the veggies that we were getting for it,
YadA YadA, straw. There was a lot of straw, so
just to kind of give you like a vibe of
what it was actually like. It was so loud, like
it's It's squeal. I thought this would be a perfect
first episode for Squeal. It's squeer was literally like super
(19:53):
loud and very aggressive. The same volume as a smoke alarm.
I'm not joking, Like the same fucking volume as a
smoke alarm. You could hear this like grunt and like
this squeal throughout like our whole neighborhood. Right, So the
amount of time we owned a pig was only and
(20:13):
like not to flop on the story, but it was
only five days because it was so chaotic, so much
happened within five days.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's like crazy, and I guess.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
In lockdown, like time slows down a little bit, like
you're just constantly at home, same environment. Our girlfriend came
over and she bought this guy, I think she was
singing or something over and they were.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like, we want to see the pig. We want to
see the pig.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
And honestly, after having the pig for like three days,
it was nip. It was a bit like a dog,
like it'd nip your ankles, but not in like a
nice way. It was a little bit vicious and I'm
not gonna lie like. I actually got to the point
I didn't like going out into the backyard to see it.
I it was kind of like sad. It was kind
of like I think it'd just been taken from its family,
(21:02):
Like it was squealing. It was alone, it was scared.
It was in fucking suburbia where it shouldn't have been,
and it was kind of nipping our ankles.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And I was a little bit freaked out by the pig.
I'm not gonna like it made me nervous. It's wild
and I'll post the photos and videos and stuff on
the Instagram. By the way, the squeal Instagram is at
squeal pod, so give it a follow if you want
to see photos of Wilba the pig.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But yeah, so it was a little bit vicious.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It nip your ankles and they dig holes in your backyard.
My dad is a meta reader, or was. He's retired now,
but he would go from property to house to whatever,
and he'd read power meters and sometimes on rural he said,
there was this one house with a pig and there
were holes all over the yard. They just dig holes.
(21:56):
So in a way it was like dog adjacent, but
not quite. He was beautiful, like I'll say it. He
was a gorgeous pig. He was a good looking pig.
But within five days he had grown a fair bit. Anyway,
so our girlfriend came over. She brought this guy to
(22:17):
that she was seeing, and they were like.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We want to come see the pig. We want to
come see the pig.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It started to get like dark, it was like twilight
when they came over, and I remember they went in
and by the way, I'd like to say, I was
still having bacon and eggs with Brecky just asserting dominance
to the pig. The kitchen was like right in front
of the backyard too, So that's pretty cooked, but in
(22:41):
more ways than one. So she I keep getting to
this tangent, but I'm getting that, I'm getting there. So
they were out in the backyard with this pig. It
starts to get dark and like you have to open
They didn't know how to open the gate in the dark,
and so I just hear like like, like, let.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Us out open the door. Open the door.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
He's biting, and part of me was like a little statistic,
like this is kind of funny. Let's see what's gonna happen.
But I opened the gate. I promise open the gate.
Then anyway, basically her partner, my housemate's partner, kind of
cracked down, was like, nope, babe, you're getting rid of
this thing. This is not fair on the pig, which
(23:28):
totally fair. Is not fair on the pig. And then
it all kind of built up into this climax where
the neighbor, who was lovely so I was zoom teaching,
could hear you could hear barking coming from the backyard,
and obviously I was like busy, and I was like, oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Sure it's fine.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I heard barking, and we had a six foot wooden
fence with the slightest lean, Like I can't stress how
tiny the angle of the lean was, but basically the
neighbor put a head over the fence.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And this was my housemate told me.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
She was just like, oh, hi, I just like wanted
to ask about the pig. Is the pig a permanent addition?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And my housemate totally lied.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Through her teeth and was like, oh no, we're just
like we're minding for a friend like kind of vibe,
which fair. I probably would have done the exact same
in the situation. And she was like, oh, I just
like want to let you know because it climbed the fence.
This pig literally like climbed a six foot wooden fence
(24:33):
with like a five percent I don't know percentage. I'm
not trying to fig no percentage, but the angle, I'm
not sure what the angle is. Like this tiny degree
lean on the fence, put its two trotters over the
top of the fence, pulled its head up and went
like squealed so fucking loud at this dog, this big dog,
(24:57):
and the dog ran away. How wild anyway, So my
housemate decided to sell the pig on gum tree I
think called marketplace for exactly the same price as she
bought it from a farm for two hundred dollars, and
it was a She sold it to a farmer that
(25:20):
was twenty minutes down the highway because we lived like
right on the drop of the highway. Anyway, she popped
it in the box that it came in, and it
had grown a little bit considerably, and whacked a bit
of masking tape on it, and I just like looked
at her and my friend and I'm like, that is
coming out.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
If this thing fucking comes out, I swear to God
blah blah blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I just like went on my rant. Anyway, So I
don't know how this happened, but my friend owns our
girlfriend owns a full drive, and so my housemates sat
in the passenger seat and I sat in the back
with the pig with this box that the structural integrity
is through the roof.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
It's done.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
There's a bunch of holes poked in it, and basically
the pig is terrified. It's in a moving vehicle, and
I'm giving it like bread just to like satiate it
until like just until we we get to this this
place we're going anyway, we get down the highway, we've
taken a wrong turn. It adds another twenty five minutes
(26:25):
onto our trip. I'm out of bread and this pig
like it's the sound of a siren. Keep that in mind.
This pig is bashing and like I'm not even joking.
It's fucking bashing against the box. And I'm like, it's
gonna come out. It's gonna come out.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Like I'm panicking here.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And basically it starts full and bashing against the box
and like full arm again and style like it sucks
that I'm not like filming this, but like it's two
trotter is. I swear to God, like fucking burst the
box open, full armorged in, just like try to just
like straight through the top of the box and just
ripped the whole box open. It's trotting around in the
(27:12):
back seat. I'm screaming to my bestie.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I'm like pull over, pull over, pull over, pull over, pull.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Over and just panicking and my housemates. She gets in
the back with me and we're kind of like holding
him back and forth and like letting him walk between us.
He's like he's still in a moving vehicle, and he's nervous,
but he's like a little bit calmer with the two
of us and that he can see and he's not
trapped in a box anyway. We get to the farm.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
We get to the farm. The farm is lovely. He's
got a calf.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
He wants a pig so that they.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Can be friends, or maybe he just wants to make bacon.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Who knows, but at this point, we just need to
get rid of the thing. Sorry, Wilba, you're very cute. Yeah,
So we get to we get to the farm. He's keen,
he's really excited. He shows us around the farm. It's lovely,
it's wholesome. We dropped the pig off.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And we're like, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
And as we're leaving, because I swear to God, Wilbur
was a demon pig like you pick him up, and
he'd try and like back, like like donkey kick you.
The farmer picks up Wilbur. Wilbur like Donkey kicks the farmer,
and the farmer like jokes.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
He's like come back, ha ha.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And I was like, step on it, let's go. And yeah,
that's the story of my housemate bought a pig. I
share housed and yeah, look, I'm really glad have the
story to tell. And I learned that a lot about pigs,
and turns out.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
The mafia used them to bury bodies. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Because they eat literally.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Everything that is so so wild?
Speaker 2 (28:52):
And on that note, that's a mighty weird place to wrap,
but we're gonna leave it right there. Thank you so
so much for listening to the first episode of Squeal.
If you've enjoyed this, please feel free to share this
with someone. You can follow me at squeal pot, you
can give me a squeal drop the little pig.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Nose emoji somewhere, and.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
If you want to see picks and VIDs of the
pig wilbur, I'll post a couple on the Instagram page.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Thanks again and more. See you for the next episode
of Squeal.
Hi, Welcome to Squall. I'm super excited.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I've been wanting to do this for ages and finally
I bit the bullet.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I actually this is cooked.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
But I actually announced the launch before i'd even finish.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I recorded a.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Whole episode and something hit like late at night. I
was like, oh no, I'm going to completely change it,
like full redirection, classic and last minute cat recording it
the night before. But anyway, so let's get into it.
So my name's Jackie AKA. You might know me as
(00:36):
Cheeky Velvet and if you knew here, Cheeky Velvet is
my musician's stage name. I've been performing pop music for
a while now. I lived in Melbourne for five years
and moved back to Brisbane in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I'm a brizzy girl. I grew up in Brizzee.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
So let me just give a picture for you if
you've never been to a Cheeky Velvet show.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I like to do a little bit of acting.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I actually realized I have a little bit of a
stage voice. When I get into Cheeky Velvet characters. It's
a little bit sultry, a little bit that sounds so
snobby when I do it, like that. Yeah, it's very
a really fun show.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I love a costume.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I'm very quirky and creative, so like none of my
furniture and my plates aren't normal. As soon as people
come over, I show them my like quirky plate collection.
It's like strawberries and cats and tigers and there's like
a moon plate. It's very weird. But yeah, that's really
reflected in my stage show. It's it's very quirky, and
(01:39):
she's meant to be this like quite naive character and
it's a little bit on the nose. And I've got
a really good sense of humor. Love to inject a
little bit of humor into things. I have been known
to rock up to my gigs in a wedding dress
and marry myself or make Santa my sugar daddy. I've
(02:00):
spoken to God on stage. I know that sounds very blasphemous,
and some shows have ended with me like killing a
boyfriend on stage. It's never a boring day, So that
is exactly why I decided to call this squeal.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'll definitely get some music and some sound effects soon.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I feel like it's a bit sad that the musician
hasn't sorted that shit out, but.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
We'll get on top of that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The one thing that I definitely have sorted out, though,
is this is such a fun episode and I love
a theme. Obviously, you girl cheeky Velvet loves the theme.
And I've got pig references galore, and this first episode
is going to be celebrating pigs with a wild story.
The first segments just follow, you know, so just a
little bit about me, and then we'll get into the
(02:47):
squeal of the day.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'll squeal and reveal.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I have the funniest fucking story in the world, but
we'll save that for a little bit later in the
potty today anyway, and I might just like do give
you guys a recap of kind of where I'm at.
I also graduated from my comms PR degree, so I'm
currently kind of looking at agency roles at the moment,
(03:13):
which is really exciting.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's really weird.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Everything kind of hit this week where I did a
bunch of interviews and they were like, we're going to
get you to do this task, and it all just
kind of hit this week. I got sick, and work
just got like crazy busy all at the same time,
and on top of it, just to troll myself other
than recording an episode late at night.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And being like, oh, get the potty done.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I got a last minute ticket to Katie Perry because
I just couldn't help myself. I was like, I didn't
even realize. This is the fourth time I've seen Katy Perry.
I know everyone, she's very controversial for everyone right now.
But you know what, it was fucking brilliant. She is
such a great live performer. The show was wild. There
was cage dancing, there was like every kind of thing
(04:00):
you can imagine a light show, the timing, the splits,
the acrobatics, she played all her hits and honestly, it
was just a party. I freaking loved it. But yeah,
I'm just loving life at the moment and I've just
got so many things on.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The go, and I thought, fuck it, let's start the party.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But yeah, I just part of starting this was I
love sharing stories. I've got some pretty wild ones, particularly
backstage performing, and I seem to attract some pretty quirky,
kooky characters in my life. I've got some incredible creative friends. Well,
when I moved to Melbourne, I knew two people my
(04:40):
bestie who just love her she's incredible and yeah, basically,
I being a Brisbane girl, I owned like I owned
like jackshit in the winter department. I like packed my keyboard.
I had one faux fur cropped jacket and mini skirts,
(05:02):
crop tops, teas and I.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Was in for a fucking shock. I moved to Melbourne.
I literally I remember.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I was so cold in my sharehouse. I used my
This sounds really sad, but like it's not. I just
think it's funny. I used my hair dryer to like
warm myself up because it was so it was an
old sharehouse and I was just fucking cold. And then
I discovered the joys of all the incredible Sydney Road
op shops and got myself like actual decent like lined jackets,
(05:34):
so I didn't freeze to death. Survived that, and my dad,
also being an Italian, dad was like must protect my daughter.
And I came back to Brisbane to see my auntie,
who was like really really sick at the time. So
I came back to Brisbane and Dad had gone to
(05:55):
every op shop in all of Brisbane and bought every
single like he fought little old ladies over like winter
coats for me. It was actually really sweet. I still
have a lot of them as well. Some of them
some stuff. Dad doesn't have the best taste, but in
other times, you know, he really comes through. He's very
practical and I love it. Anyway, But yeah, So moved
(06:17):
to Melbourne. Met some really cool creative cats. One of
them I just kind of hit the ground running like
a crazy person. Like literally, anyone i'd see on the street,
it'd be like, I just moved to Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
My name is Jackie. I'm a pop musician.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I've got the gift of the gab, very like my mother.
My mom will go up to anyone on the street
and seriously, I love I love that she does this.
Sometimes it used to embarrass my brother and I and
now I love it and I do it to people.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But my mom will go up to any person.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
On the street and she'll tap them on the shoulder
and be like, excuse me, excuse me, and they think
she's about to like tell them off, and she literally
looked them dead in the eye and be like, can
I just say that I love your outfit. So definitely
got that shamelessness from my mum. But anyway, so back
(07:08):
to the story. I was on the tram. It was
the number nineteen in Brunswick or going down Sydney Road,
and on the tram was this girl that just looked
like walking art. I remember she had like silver space
boots on.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think she was wearing hot pink. She just was very,
very quirky.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
She had to really cool her platinum blonde pixie cut.
I think at the time it was quite short. And
she has a tiger head backpack. I don't know if
she still has it, but she even it's like a
fake one of those dream World white tigers. But anyway,
I basically I went up to her and I was
(07:49):
just like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
God, I love your outfit.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh my gosh, I just moved to Melbourne. I'm in
pop music. Do you want to get a coffee with me?
I'd love to like and like get to know you.
Blah la la la.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And she just looked at me like whoa this chick?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I kind of was like, oh, she must hate me,
she must think I'm like this crazy woman. And I
like harangued her. I don't even know if that's the word.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Haranged her for.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Getting her Instagram handle and like trading contact details. And
the next day she sent me this like really big message,
and she was like, I was actually just saying to
my partner on the tram that I just really wanted
to meet someone in pop music and then you literally
just appeared like I would absolutely love to go get
a coffee or a meal with you. Thank you so
(08:41):
much for approaching me. I just I really appreciate that
you had the confidence to do that. And it was
it was like literally a heartwarming message. But anyway, I
tell that story so much. I know she might may
or may not hear this and she'll be like, oh,
not again. But anyway, I'm really excited. Hopefully I will
(09:02):
have some really cool creatives on. Well I'm going to
drag them kicking and screaming onto the pod. But yeah,
let's get into the squeal and reveal of the day.
Throughout my Melbourne time, I did a lot.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Of share housing. If you've ever shared housed, you know
what's up. Like you get it.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You learn a lot of things share housing about a
about a lot of different personality types, how to be
a team player. I had no like I'll be honest,
I had no concept of recycling, and so I was humbled.
My housemates really were like, you need to recycle and
(09:48):
you need to be better. Some were a bit intense.
This one person I live with who were like long long,
not in touch for a long time, but this one
person actually went through the bin and pulled out my
like a Greek hyoga container that I put in the bin.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And was like, you know that goes in hard rubbish, right.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So it definitely taught me some things about who and
who not to live with. But I learned a lot,
and it was a ride, and I've got some of
my best friends came from share housing, and there are
some housemates that I really regret not spending more time
with them and getting to know them better. I had
(10:35):
like a lot of different, you know, personal things going
on while I was sharehousing as well. So uh yeah,
it's just such an incredible experience and if you you know,
I think doing it once in your life is one
of the best things that you could ever do, as
well as you know, leaving mom and Dad's home if
(10:55):
you you know, have the privilege and can afford to
do so, it really does teach you a lot. And
you're gonna get a fucking wild cooked story out of it.
So I'm going to squeal and reveal and so time
for a little squeal and reveal. Yeah, share housing. Literally,
(11:18):
I think my old housemate, he's a buddy of mine.
He I remember he drew a marijuana leaf in permanent
marker on our white fridge and he didn't realize. He
did it toatroll me, and he didn't realize, and it
took a lot of manpower for us to get rid
of that. Another sharehouse they lived in, I remember we
(11:42):
had like this burnt toilet seat. We had two toilets,
but one of them had a burnt seat, which was
just I remember my mom and dad came to visit
and dad saw this burnt seat and he's like, who
had I can't even I can't even.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And say it. It's like who had a fucking curry
last night?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Anyway? Anyway, all right, but what takes the cake? Someone
I share housed with she decided to We were in
Melbourne lockdown and she decided to buy a pig. I'm
(12:27):
not even like, I'm not even fucking with you. She
actually decided to buy a pig. So here's what happened.
So COVID had hit, and we've been in lockdown for
We've been in lockdown for a while. So this was
twenty twenty one, so twenty twenty was out of the picture.
We'd moved into the sharehouse in at the start of
twenty twenty one, about halfway through the year. I think
(12:52):
her partner moved in with us, and towards the start
of the year. So the first six months we weren't
in lockdown. It was actually pretty chill for the first
six months, and then the cases built up in Victoria
and then we went into a full six month not
even joking, six month lockdown or like five ish months
or something.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Pretty crazy time.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I remember missing like a close friend of mine's wedding,
which was like sucky, and yeah, just I have to say.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I did.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
There were actually parts of lockdown I just loved, Like
I started sewing, I went vegan, I wrote an album,
I started studying.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
My new degree.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I just I alone wolf me like I love it
me and alone time, like I just dive into full
activities entertainment and yeah. Anyway, so first six months I
was performing a lot, and I was also running my
own music teaching business, like teaching singing from my house,
(13:59):
and my housemate kind of went to me and she
was like, hey, I'm thinking about getting a dog, like
is that cool? And I just was like, look, like
I'm having students over, Like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'd really rather not like.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I just we just share house with a friend and
he had a dog, and I was just like, look,
I'd really rather not like.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I just like, I'm a.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Cat person and it could be funked. I don't want
to pet and not when I'm having clients over. I
just I don't think it's gonna be a good look anyway.
So that was at the beginning of the year. We
went into this major lockdown. I think we're in lockdown
for about the two month mark, and we'd just been
in a year of like lockdowns in twenty twenty, so
(14:38):
it was quite like it was kind of like there
was no end insight. So we found So turns out
we had we lived on a main road. So for
the melbourni Ands, we lived on Bell Street in Pasco Vale,
like literally straight onto the highway to the Tellermarine Airport.
(14:58):
Bell Street is like a maje up major road, Like
it is not a quiet road, like the sound of
traffic would lull me to sleep, and you get used
to it. You actually do get used to it.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
So we didn't really have a backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It was just like this concrete slab with a big
corrugated fence, like those high corrugated fences, I think that's.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
What they called.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Anyway, my housemate, this is really clever of her. She
like looked over the fence and she realized that we
actually had an empty lot behind us, and the landlord
did own it. He just couldn't be fucked mowing it
and like opening it up for us to have a backyard.
And so she burst through the gate with her partner
and they literally mowed the whole thing down. And so
(15:49):
we kind of like had this little illegal backyard. Like
you know, if we had an inspection, we'd just like,
you know, pretend we didn't bust through the gate. But like, yeah,
we had this backyard, which was great because we were
like fuck yeah, sharehouse parties.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
We can have barbecues out the back.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And in COVID, look, everyone had a buddy that would
come over, just one in the same area. And I think,
like I heard a lot like they authorities were pretty
cool with like you're just you're one person, so that
people don't die of loneliness, YadA, yadda. Anyway, so our
best mate would come over and we'd have like a
(16:27):
little chimen era in the back that kind of thing. Anyway,
so my housemate she goes to me, look, I know
you said no to the dog, but since we have
a backyard, now do you reckon I could get a pig?
And I was like, a pig, really a pig, dude,
(16:48):
that's fucking sick. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Oh I'm so down,
get a pig. Like I think I kind of egged
her on a whole little bit. I totally egged her on.
I don't know if I thought she wouldn't do it,
but I I just was like, let's like fuck around
and find out, like, yeah, get a pig. And so
(17:12):
I was teaching on Zoom because we were in lockdown
and our best friend, our girlfriend, was like, oy, you
need to go like get out of the room, go
into the go into the living room, just do it.
She was like messaging me while I was teaching, and
I'd gotten pretty like lase was zoom teaching, like I
(17:33):
was just so done with it. I was watching Netflix
online shopping and like anyway, so she messaged me and
was like, go into the living room, just just fucking
do it. And so I went into the living room
and my housemate like, she's like, you need to follow
me into my room. And I was like, okay, this
is getting weird now, but all right, and she we
(17:56):
go into her room. There's this suss looking cardboard box
in her room and she opens it up and no shit,
there's a fucking pig in the box. So this is
like suburban Melbourne. Pigs are completely illegal, by the way,
like an illegal pet. I actually couldn't believe it. I like,
(18:19):
I was like overjoyed. I was like, oh my god,
we own a pig.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
What the hell? This is mad.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
This is the best thing ever, like totally irresponsible, I'll
totally admit like, and I was like definitely older than her,
so I feel like I'm like I probably should have
known better, but like, honestly, I was there for the ride, so.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Thank god.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Her partner was like, I'll play bad cop, and he
was like, no, babe, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
You can't own a pig.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
No, not sure about this, And like the whole time
he'd be like no, no, no, and she just went
and did it, which I was like sligh. Anyway, So
we set up the pig in the back her and
I made a special trip to get like a dog
(19:08):
kennel off marketplace for it to sleep. I've never like,
I'm not like I love animals. I'm a big, like
animal person. I'm kind of nerdy about animals as well,
But I like, I didn't know what to fucking do
with a pig. So so there was like a lot
of learning that kind of came out, like what they eat,
(19:29):
Like all the veggies that we were getting for it,
YadA YadA, straw. There was a lot of straw, so
just to kind of give you like a vibe of
what it was actually like. It was so loud, like
it's It's squeal. I thought this would be a perfect
first episode for Squeal. It's squeer was literally like super
(19:53):
loud and very aggressive. The same volume as a smoke alarm.
I'm not joking, Like the same fucking volume as a
smoke alarm. You could hear this like grunt and like
this squeal throughout like our whole neighborhood. Right, So the
amount of time we owned a pig was only and
(20:13):
like not to flop on the story, but it was
only five days because it was so chaotic, so much
happened within five days.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's like crazy, and I guess.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
In lockdown, like time slows down a little bit, like
you're just constantly at home, same environment. Our girlfriend came
over and she bought this guy, I think she was
singing or something over and they were.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Like, we want to see the pig. We want to
see the pig.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
And honestly, after having the pig for like three days,
it was nip. It was a bit like a dog,
like it'd nip your ankles, but not in like a
nice way. It was a little bit vicious and I'm
not gonna lie like. I actually got to the point
I didn't like going out into the backyard to see it.
I it was kind of like sad. It was kind
of like I think it'd just been taken from its family,
(21:02):
Like it was squealing. It was alone, it was scared.
It was in fucking suburbia where it shouldn't have been,
and it was kind of nipping our ankles.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And I was a little bit freaked out by the pig.
I'm not gonna like it made me nervous. It's wild
and I'll post the photos and videos and stuff on
the Instagram. By the way, the squeal Instagram is at
squeal pod, so give it a follow if you want
to see photos of Wilba the pig.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But yeah, so it was a little bit vicious.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
It nip your ankles and they dig holes in your backyard.
My dad is a meta reader, or was. He's retired now,
but he would go from property to house to whatever,
and he'd read power meters and sometimes on rural he said,
there was this one house with a pig and there
were holes all over the yard. They just dig holes.
(21:56):
So in a way it was like dog adjacent, but
not quite. He was beautiful, like I'll say it. He
was a gorgeous pig. He was a good looking pig.
But within five days he had grown a fair bit. Anyway,
so our girlfriend came over. She brought this guy to
(22:17):
that she was seeing, and they were like.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
We want to come see the pig. We want to
come see the pig.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
It started to get like dark, it was like twilight
when they came over, and I remember they went in
and by the way, I'd like to say, I was
still having bacon and eggs with Brecky just asserting dominance
to the pig. The kitchen was like right in front
of the backyard too, So that's pretty cooked, but in
(22:41):
more ways than one. So she I keep getting to
this tangent, but I'm getting that, I'm getting there. So
they were out in the backyard with this pig. It
starts to get dark and like you have to open
They didn't know how to open the gate in the dark,
and so I just hear like like, like, let.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Us out open the door. Open the door.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
He's biting, and part of me was like a little statistic,
like this is kind of funny. Let's see what's gonna happen.
But I opened the gate. I promise open the gate.
Then anyway, basically her partner, my housemate's partner, kind of
cracked down, was like, nope, babe, you're getting rid of
this thing. This is not fair on the pig, which
(23:28):
totally fair. Is not fair on the pig. And then
it all kind of built up into this climax where
the neighbor, who was lovely so I was zoom teaching,
could hear you could hear barking coming from the backyard,
and obviously I was like busy, and I was like, oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Sure it's fine.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I heard barking, and we had a six foot wooden
fence with the slightest lean, Like I can't stress how
tiny the angle of the lean was, but basically the
neighbor put a head over the fence.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
And this was my housemate told me.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
She was just like, oh, hi, I just like wanted
to ask about the pig. Is the pig a permanent addition?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And my housemate totally lied.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Through her teeth and was like, oh no, we're just
like we're minding for a friend like kind of vibe,
which fair. I probably would have done the exact same
in the situation. And she was like, oh, I just
like want to let you know because it climbed the fence.
This pig literally like climbed a six foot wooden fence
(24:33):
with like a five percent I don't know percentage. I'm
not trying to fig no percentage, but the angle, I'm
not sure what the angle is. Like this tiny degree
lean on the fence, put its two trotters over the
top of the fence, pulled its head up and went
like squealed so fucking loud at this dog, this big dog,
(24:57):
and the dog ran away. How wild anyway, So my
housemate decided to sell the pig on gum tree I
think called marketplace for exactly the same price as she
bought it from a farm for two hundred dollars, and
it was a She sold it to a farmer that
(25:20):
was twenty minutes down the highway because we lived like
right on the drop of the highway. Anyway, she popped
it in the box that it came in, and it
had grown a little bit considerably, and whacked a bit
of masking tape on it, and I just like looked
at her and my friend and I'm like, that is
coming out.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
If this thing fucking comes out, I swear to God
blah blah blah blah blah, and.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I just like went on my rant. Anyway, So I
don't know how this happened, but my friend owns our
girlfriend owns a full drive, and so my housemates sat
in the passenger seat and I sat in the back
with the pig with this box that the structural integrity
is through the roof.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
It's done.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
There's a bunch of holes poked in it, and basically
the pig is terrified. It's in a moving vehicle, and
I'm giving it like bread just to like satiate it
until like just until we we get to this this
place we're going anyway, we get down the highway, we've
taken a wrong turn. It adds another twenty five minutes
(26:25):
onto our trip. I'm out of bread and this pig
like it's the sound of a siren. Keep that in mind.
This pig is bashing and like I'm not even joking.
It's fucking bashing against the box. And I'm like, it's
gonna come out. It's gonna come out.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Like I'm panicking here.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And basically it starts full and bashing against the box
and like full arm again and style like it sucks
that I'm not like filming this, but like it's two
trotter is. I swear to God, like fucking burst the
box open, full armorged in, just like try to just
like straight through the top of the box and just
ripped the whole box open. It's trotting around in the
(27:12):
back seat. I'm screaming to my bestie.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I'm like pull over, pull over, pull over, pull over, pull.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Over and just panicking and my housemates. She gets in
the back with me and we're kind of like holding
him back and forth and like letting him walk between us.
He's like he's still in a moving vehicle, and he's nervous,
but he's like a little bit calmer with the two
of us and that he can see and he's not
trapped in a box anyway. We get to the farm.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
We get to the farm. The farm is lovely. He's
got a calf.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
He wants a pig so that they.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Can be friends, or maybe he just wants to make bacon.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Who knows, but at this point, we just need to
get rid of the thing. Sorry, Wilba, you're very cute. Yeah,
So we get to we get to the farm. He's keen,
he's really excited. He shows us around the farm. It's lovely,
it's wholesome. We dropped the pig off.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And we're like, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
And as we're leaving, because I swear to God, Wilbur
was a demon pig like you pick him up, and
he'd try and like back, like like donkey kick you.
The farmer picks up Wilbur. Wilbur like Donkey kicks the farmer,
and the farmer like jokes.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
He's like come back, ha ha.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
And I was like, step on it, let's go. And yeah,
that's the story of my housemate bought a pig. I
share housed and yeah, look, I'm really glad have the
story to tell. And I learned that a lot about pigs,
and turns out.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
The mafia used them to bury bodies. Can you believe that?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Because they eat literally.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Everything that is so so wild?
Speaker 2 (28:52):

but we're gonna leave it right there. Thank you so
