Speaker 2 (01:08):
I have been insanely busy, like just so busy. I
can't even explain, but like if you if I did explain,
it wouldn't sound that bad. But you know when like
oh my god, no, yeah, you know what I mean.
Like you tell you all the things you've been doing
and someone's like, oh, that just sounds like normal, but
it's really sorry. You're so hard on yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You do like a hundred things once I remember, okay
last year around choice You're like, oh, but I feel
like it's not that much, and like if I was
to list it, you, oh my gosh, you wear all
the hats. You do so many different and you also
have like a lot of different projects that you work on,
which is really inspiring, I think, particularly, which is so cool.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, at the moment, the busiest thing really is my
partner and I have just basically finished building a recording
studio in Collingwood in Melbourne. Yeah. It's a tiny little studio,
it's like three by three, but it's just what we need.
We live in like a really small flat in Fitzroy,
and we needed a space that we could like record
(02:09):
out of because he's an audio engineer and a photographer
and we do video editing like as a business together,
and so we needed somewhere to like go to work
and it's a shared space with a bunch of other
creatives in Collingwood, and it's just like the best vibe.
There's coffee, there's like really great people around all the
time doing similar work and like, oh my god, I
(02:31):
just can't wait for you to see it, Like I
want us to go in there and record. It's gonna
be so great. Yes, that has been really time consuming.
I've become like a builder or something like I looked
down at myself one day and I was covered in
like building foam and I was wearing like hard yaker
shorts and like I had pain to load me and
I was like, what is my what's my life become? Like?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Was so funny anytime I like talk to you, like, hey,
you're just heading out of Bunnings.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now, I feel like I've spent an unreasonable amount of
time and Bunnings.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You know What's what's great? Like I love your identity

country girl at heart, but like you literally she like

You help me drive a moving truck. I do love
to drive a good truck. That's one of my pastimes.
It's traffic.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, Like I don't know, like a topic you haven't mastered,
like I love you, Like.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That's just a function of having raging adhd is I
just like trying everything. Yeah, well, I mean that's been
the main things though at the moment, is just like
building and setting up this street you and like getting
so into it and yeah, it's just been like really
really intense, and I feel like now that I've done this,
I can finally get back into the thing we both
(04:10):
love doing so much, which is music. Yes, oh my
god music again.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Same Like part of the potty was also being like
it's I've got a single, it's waiting, you know, I
know all about it. Yes, in a distant background, I
probably should have amped up. That's like a little bit
of a surprise announcement was actually on my single.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Very like deeply layered featured.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Layers, but anyway, we'll talk about that. I think that'll come.
I'm sure will Yeah. Oh my god, there's just there's
so much happening at the moment, so so exciting. What's
happening with you? Oh I am I'm doing everything. So
currently I am working as a marking coordinator for the
(05:00):
music schools as you know, so I'm I'm the filling
teacher at the moment. So I'm a fill in singing teacher,
which I'm fucking loving. Yes, basically, you just like rock
up and then you you don't see them again. I'm
a bad one night stand I rock up, I criticize you,
(05:23):
and then I just piss off.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's like, what you've been working on? Cool?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Literally, when I asked all my students to I'm like, so,
what have you been working on? And they give me
a song and I'm like, cool, that was I tell
them how they're doing it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Wrong, right wrong. I mean, it's part of the job is.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
To be like, you could do it better.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
In a nice way.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I promise my lessons are really fun. I was gonna
say you you know the vibe you're also you're also
I've been as a coach.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, I've been teaching for the last year and a
half just to support myself while I'm setting up this
business because we all need like, we all need a
casual job right on the side. Cash girls need the
girls need cash. I was teaching for a year and
a half. But I was teaching. I found myself teaching
in schools, which is like so intense and so hectic,
(06:18):
and yeah, the same thing with relief teaching. I'll just
rock up at a school, like go to the lessons
and be like what you've been working on? And they
show me and I'm like, my god, that sounds so good,
like that's awesome, and then help them improve and it's
actually really really sweet. I love that part of the track, and.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
It's just it's low pressure. It's really fun because I'm
a person who thrives on variety too. Deep end I
realized about because I've been coaching for years now, like
eight nine years, I realized that having regular students for
like beyond ten weeks, I kind of get a little
(06:58):
bit bored.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Truly.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It sounds from maybe it's the ADHD and me, but
but like I just I really thrive on variety. I
love like you know, I love meeting people.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, I just and you love thinking on the spot
and like coming up with things on the spot and
being really creative, and it can get a bit samey
after a while if you stay with the same thing.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, so I think I really thrive on the just
the flexibility, the different people. I love meeting new people.
I love hearing people stories. That's part of the reason
I started this podcast is I love a wild story.
I love learning. But anyway, you know, it's been an
interesting day. I was daydreaming about the potty, and I
(07:42):
literally I was stag So I was like mindlessly following
this truck and basically I moved into this like suburb
like last year, so obviously I don't know all the
back roads. And I went to a weird gym.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I went to a weird what was happening. I was
just like, it's not my usual.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I went to a different gym, and like, anyway, so
I was daydream about the potty and I just kept
following this truck. I ended up at like I ended
up at like boom Gates, like.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
What I like.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I ended up at boom Gates into the prison markets
and the truck went in And I'm not gonna lie
like my first thought.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Was like can I get through?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Like I was like going to attempt it, like I'm
doing this. I didn't even question. I just was like,
boom gates, get through like so, and it was like
the back.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
End, like the stop you in the bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And I was like, didn't bring anything to sell, sorry guys,
but yeah, that was interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yes, this is why you need me to direct you
with my maps. And then in the passenger seat, yeah,
I should have been there for you. I let you down.
I know where were you.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
I should probably like specify for the listeners. You're you're
you're zooming from Melbourne right now and I am zooming
from Brisbane. So it's our long distance Call've.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Been torn apart.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I know, life is. Life has torn us, it has,
but yeah, uh anyway, so I was in coals, so
obviously I live very close to a coals.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Which is it's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I'm quite it's it's amazing, and it's really dangerous because
like all I do is like literally like eight p
fifty nine quick that ice creams on sale, fucking the
road run. Yeah, and no, it's actually really annoying because
Elliot and I were obviously in coals a lot, and
it's gotten to the point where we know the stuff,
(09:47):
like visually, we don't know the names.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
He's like a mind map of coals.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
No, but like we know the ones that are counting,
like avoid, I'm going to say it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I'm going to say it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
The deli guy is he's guy lingers over the meat.
It's very it's unnerving. It's really unnerving, and like sometimes
I don't need it because I'm like, yeah, yeah, like
what he deliberately goes slow, so you don't go the deli,
Like I know what he's doing, right, and so he
(10:24):
like like I go for techy you know, lean protein whatever.
He literally like will carve it so slow deliberately, and
I think he's just like like you after pis Yeah yeah,
so you know now it's just pre made. But anyway, No,
there's even some workers. So Elliott doesn't like one because
(10:45):
I don't know, she glares at him.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Well that's a fair reason.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
She glares at him, and the other one talks to me,
and I just don't.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't like you do not want to be talked
to you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
No, he makes jokes and it's like you'll be and
he'll make jokes but like like he'll keep talking to
you even when you're far apart, like.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
He doesn't have the social sense. It's a very I know,
it's very it's.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Very uncomforton anyway, I digress.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So I was in Cols.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I was in the ice cream section, and I don't
know what happened to me.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But basically, like.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I was gonna say, you can you can vouch me.
I've never wanted kids, right, yeap wanted kids absolutely. I
looked up from my ice cream and there was this
hot dad. I've never found a dad hot, but I
think my biology just like awoken. I was like, for
(11:45):
some reason, I was like, this dad is hot. I
don't know, is that like what happens? Like I've turned
thirty and I'm wondering if my body is just like
fucking bag.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
You were just channeling my spirit because you missed me.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That's why I had to tell you. I was like,
I'm going to tell you on the pod because it's
just it's very out of character for me. I'm part
of it. I'm like, but like.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
You, I have the baby with baby in question? Was
the baby present? Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
There was no baby. It was like two like medium
sized ones.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So I stop it. Oh my god, so to like children.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Who I didn't even look at the kids.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I was just like hot dad.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I was like, am I just attracted to the dad?
Or am I like coming.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
To the biology? Why would you work it up? This
is like this is like my I have the I
even have like categories of dads. There's all sorts like yeah,
well down here in Melbourne, there's like you've got like
this the business suit, the suit and tie dads, right,
the dads who were like, you know, they have really
(12:49):
high blood pressure, they wear suits, they're like pretty red
in the face, are like really stressed out right. They
work like to corporate dad. And then you've got the
North dads who were like, yeah, I used to be
a DJ in the North Side, like and they like
wear velvet underground T shirts and you know, hipster glasses
and there I don't know, like always like really environmentally
(13:13):
conscious and they ride bikes everywhere. They're the North Kit
Dad's the North Gkit dads. Always. I can spot them
from a mile away. I can see them coming of
dad and I'll have to sit down and have a
good think about it. I've got I love it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Burger Brain has organized the dads into boxes.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I can pick him, I can't see him. I fucking
loves Yeah. Look we'll go into We'll do a whole
episode on the different stereotypes. Holy shit.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Anyway, anyway, so you had a really funny story about
being trapped this week.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Hey, I was helping someone move out of their old
place and get all their stuff out. And part of
that was like going back and repainting of the rooms
they had been in and like, you know, change some things.
So we had to repaint the room and I helped
them repaint the room. Now, there was a lot of
friction in the household, like a lot of tension in
(14:11):
the household, and I was like, look, I'll come along
and i'll help. I'll just keep my head down. So
we're upstairs in this room like painting, like I'm you know,
the fumes are kind of getting to me, Like the
paint fumes are getting to my head. Were painting, and
then my partner goes downstairs and like I'm up there,
(14:33):
closed in this room with all the paint fumes, and
then I start hearing like arguing and like yelling between everyone,
and I was like, oh my god, I have never
needed to pee, so badly in my life. But in
order to pee, I would have had to let go
down and walk past the whole like scenario everything. And
I'm so socially anxious. I just could not do it, babe,
(14:55):
Like I could not do it. Oh that's my hell.
It was thirty I timed it thirty seven minutes. I
was trapped in this room. I needed to be so bad.
I was like looking at the painting, I was like,
is this my only avenue? It's like it was like
(15:17):
a really windy night, and I could hear the screams,
like echoing on the wind, whistling.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I could hear the screams.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
What was happening? We should ask our listeners, what is
the worst scenario you've ever been trapped in? Needing to peace?
Like it's literally the worst. It's like the worst straight.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Like I was hiking down Mount Cruiser the other day, right,
and I was in I got this secondhand juicy guiture
for the law suit, and it's really fucking hard to
take off nice. So I was at the top of
the mountain and I just like drank so much water
and I'd already taken it off to peace. I was like,
I'm not doing that again, and I was like, surely
I can get down the mountain and then I'll go
(16:04):
home and I'll pee. Surely as soon as I like
got a couple of fee you know, I got into
the walk or got five minutes down the mountain, like
I kind of had to peel a little bit, and
then suddenly I had to appear a lot.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Okay, this is serious now, And.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I was like, well, I'm not you know, I'm the
type that I'm not turning the fuck around like I'm
I am going. I'm like, great, well, I'm just gonna
have to deal.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Should have just popped the squad and done a bush pee,
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But it was like it was a track where there
was like a person every like two minutes.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Just look at them until they get uncomfortable and walk away,
just looking.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Direct eye contact. But like I literally, I did you
know that you don't roll the coast a tycoon?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Do I do? I? Okay, okay, I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Have you seen when they need to the little they
need to pee?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, the face kind of
like waddle, yeah yeah, waddle.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
And I waddled in this suit down to the bottom
of the mountain, right, So yeah, in the vilaw suit,
they can barely get off anyway. So, like, the car
park is not just one big car park, it's a
line of car parks. Then you walk some like one
hundred more meters, then there's another line than one hundred
more meters, then there's another line. I kept so I
(17:23):
walked all the way and I was like, fuck it,
I'll turn back and I'll repark the car and I'll
go right to the toilets. So I'm driving the car
and it's busy. It's Sunday, it's a sunny day. Everyone's
out picnicking. I drive to the toilets and it's like
a handicap and there's a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And I was like, I can't, can't do a dodge.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
So I go back to my original car park, walk
back to the toilets and by the time I've got there,
like everyone's in line. No, like holding my breath, will
I make it? Made it? Thank god?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Thank god. It's like your trading. It's like there's no
like I'm not going to pay my self. Oh god,
it's the worst.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
And like I love how oh so you go?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I love how Like the power of social anxiety had
me trapped in a paint fume filled room, like I
was too anxious to even open the door. Like all
the winter, I was like I was paralyzed, and I
was like if my bladder burst, like that's it, that's me.
I'm done. We've had a.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Few moments where we've been trapped together, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
We absolutely.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So. One time my housemate had she had her partner's
whole family coming over to our sharehouse to play like
board games or whatever and have dinner. And like obviously
like we were like.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
We were cooked. We had the biggest day we had
been out. We went on like a massive trip to
like the Mornington Peninsula or something. We were that day.
We were gutted, Like we were so tired, and we
just wanted to veg on your bed and like be
discussed and eat.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And talk to each other. We just like to like
sit next to each other anything.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, and you know when you feel so introverted you
cannot stand, Like I would rather like like do a
backflip than freaking name. Yeah, we were like decompressing together,
which is like our thing. But then we realized there's
this dinner party happening, and it's like your room was
right next to the front door, and you also can't
(19:27):
walk out of it without seeing the living, dining room
or the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So wan the kitchen, the kitchen, access the kitchen, bathroom.
We're trapped.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So by our own social anxiety. We're trapped.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
What do we do?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
We call Uber e Yeah we needed food.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, dumplings. I will never forget that meal because I
fucking love a dumpling.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And this poor guy he arrives with the food and
he's walking up to the house and we were like click,
it's him, and you like pulped your head out the
window on your like over here, and you climbed out
the window and he like did a sneaky and like
handed to you through the window.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I just remember, like the dude is like on the
main path, and I looked like like I was like
trying to lure him over to my window, this poor
Uber Eats guy, And I literally was like, over.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Here, come to the window, trade do your deal mat.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It just sounded really now that I like say it,
I'm like it sounds like I've like got some like
escorty like it was.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
A clandestine meeting, but really we just wanted to eat
dumplings in bed.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I was just like, bro, I'm I didn't want to
leave the room to like you'd have to interact, and
that was just.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
And we genuinely waited until they were gone, until we emerged.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Like dude, honestly, being socially trapped is one of the
worst feelings.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Like you're your own jailer.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, but it's it's so true though, But like, because
I've sharehoused like just so much as well, there's so
many situations where you share house mates have people over
and you're like, well, I'm not talking to anyone tonight,
Like I do not want to see anyone.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I just want to like, you know, brain rot, I
want to doom scroll brain rot. And you've just got
to lie in a room and sometimes, you know, it's
hard to go to the kitchen or the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
You've got to you've got to hold exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Anyway, let's move on. We're gonna have a look at
our squeal or no squeal list. Okay, so I've prepared
a really random list and seriously, I'm going to get
to a few things and you can be like, none
of these nothing's related, nothing's related. Okay, We're gonna We're
just gonna see what's exciting, what's a squeal and what's
(21:51):
a no deal.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So it's like it's like, okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, I'm just trying to think squeal or no squeel.
I'm like, is there is there a an opposite to squeal? Like?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
And you're so not excited, I don't go grunt grunt
like a right, hit me with these, Hit me with these,
hit me with these.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm ready using chat GPT as therapy squeal.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Or grunt squeal. It's a big squeal for me because
I ghosted both my therapists and I don't know how
to come back from it. I fully ghosted both of
my therapists and there's no return for me. Like it's over.
I self sabotage so hard. I ghosted both my therapists.
So it's chat GPT for life.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They'll come back when sorry. But like any kind of
business model, including therapy, which I was going to bring
this up before, but any kind of business model, including therapy,
has to keep their clos.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I think I'm too powerful for they have to.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
They've got to subtly gaslight you and like do a
couple of things just to make sure you keep returning.
You've got that.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I think they're I think they're finished with me. I'm
too powerful. They can't.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh it's gonna she's gonna need to get it, you know,
her wheels fixed on the house.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
What's the next one? Okay? All right?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
When I said this list was random, I just this
is places. I'm just going to go there for the
pod Cane toad World in Gordon Bale.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm sorry. What there is?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
There is a place in North Queensland, like New Cans
dedicated dedicated in what way?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Like? What do you do? So?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It says on Google Cane toad World celebrating the site
where those notorious and vasive pests were first released in
Gordon Vale, New Cans.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
They're kind of gross. They really freak me out. Look,

them to come near me. They can just exhaust away.
It's a grunt from me. Yeah, it's a grunt.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Maybe if we can like raw at it so it
will really like piss off.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Yeah exactly, Like, just just do your thing away from me, basically.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah exactly. Yeah, all right, eating food in bed squeal
or grunt, absolute grunt. I'm sorry, big squeal. I fucking
love food in bed.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Food in your bed because I know you're okay with it,
but my bed absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I love how you're like, I can do it in
Jackie's because she's a good.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
It does I mean, probably got some like cho stuffed
in there.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
I'm like, you, I know my room because like I
get to go to bed, I get to go.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Home to my freshly pig pen. Stop it. But I
know how pro eating in bed you are, and it
makes you happy, and that makes me happy. Not pro
you know what I did.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So this was in Sheffield House. So Sheffield House was
a classic basically an iconic sharehouse in the heart of
Coburg Melbourne, heart of Sheffield Street. Anyway, anyway, sorry, I'm
like I got to wipe my tears away from that. Basically,
so late one night I think I went to the
Bergie Seltzer shout out great menuclass went to Bergie Seltzer,
(25:43):
had a big night, went and got a kebab classic.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I put the.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Kebab on on a plate next to me in my
queen bed, and it's kind of unfilled, and I forgot
it was there.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Did you say it on world? Did get up the
walk just.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Like the wrap after a few bites, the integrity of the.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Structural integrity of the kebab was not sound anyway anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So basically, I got my blanket and I was watching
a movie and I threw my blanket to the side
where the plate and unfilled kebab was. I threw it
onto the open, saucy kebab and a sauce girl. It
was not look, it was not pretty.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It was not nice. You could not I mean not
in a not dirty.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Like squeals wheel way.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah yeah yeah, not like that anyway for you and
a grunt from me, yeah, big squire for me.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Dming your ex a meme then blocking immediately after they
see it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
They do not deserve the privilege of communication with me.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Some memes. There are so many good memes. I'd love
to unblock a few of my exes and just like
bang bang bang.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
You know what's even better, just like, are you going.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
To take the high road right now.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I hate it. No, no, no, no, it was even better.
Is like leaving them unblocked, but liking all the memes
that say what you want to say about the situation
so that it ends up popping up in their algorithm.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Slow revenge. I'm worried.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
That's my bread and butter is slow revenge.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I know it's gonna I was worried we're gonna go
the moral high ground of moving on.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I was like, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Think this is Oh my god, just with.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Their algorithm slowly over this one.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Okay, I'm going to do this one as our last
one because it's such a good one.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Using Chat GPT to talk to your date no way,
grunt grunt, Yeah, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
I mean I can't talk because I have I have
a partner, like, so I don't use say I don't think.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I don't think I would do it to talk to
a date, like big grunt obviously, But I have had
partners use chat I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I know, I've seen it. Literally, I have.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Had partners use Chat GPT to try and communicate with me.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I remember you being like, look this really long emotional message,
and I snatched that phone out of your hand and
I said, that's Ai. Remember, yes, Yes, I like Ai.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It was so funny because it was like I've shedd
a tear and I was like, it.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Was written like you have tears. It was written like
a watpad fan pic. It was like a single tear,
what you know, like like teenagers writing on the internet.
It was very like a single tear. A single tear
rolled down my cheek as I thought about blah blah
blah blah blah and my love for you. Like it
was really like so obviously fair.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Guy has never said anything like that.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
He doesn't have an empathetic bone in his body. Like there, like,
what are you talking about crying in your car? You've
never cried in your life. There's no there's no capacity
for a single tear.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
But I kind of I love the poetical drama of it.
It's so dramatic shed a tear and.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
It's just it's like Spock giving, Like it's like Spock crying.
It just doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Look, I do think CHATGBT is very good for people
that really struggle with social skills to express themselves. But
I also think at some points it has a point
come from you.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Yeah, yeah, but like it has a place in like
editing a little bit, but like I feel like it
should come from.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
The place and relationships. I mean, unless you're trying to
understand your own feelings, you should be yeah, you know,
I not a big ground for the date, but if
you're trying to set boundaries, I feel like chatgyb Tears
is very good at giving you pointed.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I think, yeah, as long as it doesn't border into
like you're manipulating the other person by sending them a
chat too, beaute altered response when it's not really it's
not really you.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, And I feel like that's for dating.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
That's icky, that's giving, Like I don't know, it's like
a sci fi novel.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
It's like really greed. And I think that ends out
squeal or no squeal.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
By the way, I thought of you the other day.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, So I was I was at
work in the in the kitchen. I was making a toasty.
Guess what it was, A flat eye, beautiful flat iron toasty.
I have the most delicious grilled cheese. What do you reckon?
(30:48):
Do you want to share the story of the greatest
gift you ever received?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I will I think, look great story to share. Speaking
of low EVERT partners, I do want to maintain just
for the listeners, I want to say, look, I like
a flat iron because it's just seamless.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
This is an important distinction.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
It's seamless. Those fucking little triangle bullshit jaffles. Right, you
get bit, you burn your time. You don't want to
end the roof your mouth. It's cleaning that shit is cooked.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
It's insane. We don't want any of those lines, We
don't want any of those grooves. No, we don't want it.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
No, absolutely not anyway, So basically you'll remember it was
it was my birthday coming up. It was a pivotal one.
It was twenty nine. I remember, you're like, I remember
a lot of things happened. We did Jackie Palooser.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, it was the big two nine. Yeah, I remember, and.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Like I knew that. Look, I knew that I had
to make it a really good celebration.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Because absolutely, certain because twenty nine is important.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And certain other people wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
So absolutely you had to pull out all the stops
and make the effort for yourself. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Actually, well we'll talk about what I did for myself
after we talk about the the preamble. Anyway, the gift
you receive, Yeah, the gift. So basically I knew that
look this this exy and I were hanging on like
if there was thin ice, so thin the ice was done.
It was water and it had evaporated.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, you were you were swimming.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
It was drowning.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
But any you were drowning.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I was like, babe, throwing me a snorkel, Please throw
me a line. Anyway, So just because I really I
was like, you know, you can do this.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Babe, you can do this.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I prepared a project management board, like a Trello board
for the people that know, if you know, you know,
basically it's a bit like Pinterest kind of and you
can save links and you can make lists like to
do list kind of thing. Anyway, So in the project board,
in Jackie's birthday wish list, we had inexpensive gifts. We
had experienced gifts, we had quick gifts. We had like
(32:57):
I think I had I had like seven different like
like and they were all like really accessible, really easy,
fun gifts.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Made so you were doing the work for him. Yeah,
I took the thought out.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I was like, you know, what gifts wasn't his thing?
So I made it easy.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So you made this spreadsheet of gift ideas for him
to get for you.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yep, yep. So anyway, I went through the whole list
with him two weeks before my birthday and a couple
days out. I was like, look, you can just get me.
This isn't on the list, but it's really easy for you.
I actually just really want a toasted sandwich maker, but
like a sandwich press, the flat ones, not the triangle.
(33:36):
This all happened the same conversation. I was like, not
the triangle, just the flat one, and he was like, yeah, great. Anyway,
you were so specific. Yeah, and I kind of was like, oh,
maybe he will like hopeful, or maybe he will get
me something on the list as well, Like that'd be
nice too, but I'm just I'm happy with the toasty maker.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Really, you're trying to set the expectation low for yourself.
No disappointment. Yep. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Anyway, So birthday comes and I love my birthday. I
just fucking love my birthday. I think people who don't
celebrate the birthday that's why I love your birthday.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I know you do. My birthday was a fucking event.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Anyway, I remember, like you and our friend were like,
we're going to keep partying like weeks after my birthday,
and I was like, can we stop?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Wait so it comes to your birthday.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, it comes to my birthday and he's like, do
you want your present like in the morning, and I
was like, oh my god, yes, And he goes to
get a Christmas bag, a Christmas bag with a white
ancho plastic triangular jaffle maker that was seven dollars fifty
(34:45):
from Camart right, which, don't get me wrong, Wow, your
girl loves Kmart. And at the time we also had
a Camart discount, so he did not spend a full
seven fifty on the jaffle maker's spend wow, five ninety
five or something on the jaffle maker.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So I would have taken him back to came up.
But can I return this.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Turn this person please? Anyway, So to make up, I
knew it'd be shit house, Like I just knew it was.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Like gonna be and that is appalling.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
It's pretty bad, eh, Like it's not great, but yeah,
So to make up, I, you know, bought myself flowers,
did Amiley? I I literally I went to my favorite
Italian joint bought myself all this yummy food and some
costumes and we went out to my favorite like Asian
restaurant in Melbourne. We party and then we went to
(35:40):
lu Albar, which was really fun.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Then night two was your Farm, which was incredible.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, that's so much fun. One of my favorite. I
remember making a point to like give you your presence
in front of him, which were things that you had
asked yes, and then I gave you. I was like,
watch and learn, bitch. Oh my god, that is so pathetic.
That's pretty good. Love that you still I love that
you still practice self love on your birthday weekend to
(36:09):
make up for that.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Look, you know, sometimes, you know, sometimes it's.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
To get I wonder what other horrible gift stories there
are out there in the world. I feel very lucky.
I don't really have a bad gift story. I've got
lots of shitty exes, but they all were pretty good
at gift giving, which was nice.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
But I wonder, I understand it is, you know, nerve
wracking to buy for someone like it is, But you know,
I think it's it's not even about how much it is,
It's about the babe.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
You made a spreadsheet like it was not I it
wasn't hard, Okay, No, And.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
It's it's really not about the dollar value. I couldn't
care if someone got me a five dollar gift, but
if they were like I saw this, yeah, yeah, Like
my housemate this was like a couple of years back.
She went to the shop and she got this mug
with this bad ask hat, wearing leather with like rings
in its tears and a nose ring and with like
eyeline afflicks. And she was like, this made me think.
(37:07):
And I was like, that was like a fifty cent
two dollar gift.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
And I like, for me, I can walk into a
store and if I see something, I'll be like, that's Jackie,
Like I know what you like because I know, yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And you know you know the person's favorite colors, you know,
like you know.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
That something or not. But like it's beyond that. You
literally gave him like a step by step died and
he still managed to mess it up. Fucked it.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, you know what, I think we should put a
call out out anyone I want to hear the worst gifts.
It doesn't have to be a partner, it could be
anyone the worst he's totally missed them ever gotten. Yeah,
So if you're not already, definitely jump onto squeal pod
