2:07

Yeah, good mate. Good,

2:09

good. You didn't ask

2:12

me that question. Why

2:14

don't I just do

2:16

that for? No, let's

2:18

just go again. You did

2:20

the Effie. Hi, Effie, good

2:23

thanks. There's not a

2:25

wrong with that, mate. We can

2:27

keep this. I'm good, I'm terrific,

2:30

excellent. But I am a little

2:32

bit tired. I'm in Sizzle City

2:34

with you today. I'm in Sydney.

2:36

The big smoke? Sure. And I love Sydney

2:39

very much. And I love coming to

2:41

see you, but... I love it harder

2:43

than you though. I don't know that...

2:45

Okay, you're a Melbourne girl, you

2:47

love Melbourne. Yeah, but listen, something

2:49

happened yesterday that made me go...

2:51

Well, you said... we were texting each

2:54

other about various issues. I

2:56

don't know about today what flight

2:58

or something. It's not an issue.

3:00

No, but listen and then you said

3:02

something about, I want to take you

3:04

out and show you a bit of

3:07

Sydney when you're in town. Yeah. And I

3:09

thought, I'm not your mum. Like, what

3:11

do you mean? Take me out and show

3:13

me a bit of Sydney. So... Well,

3:16

okay, there's some parts of Sydney that

3:18

I'm very proud of at the moment.

3:20

Oh, right. The metro, right. The

3:22

train. Now you don't get it. You

3:24

don't get it. I don't. Because you haven't

3:27

been on it yet. No. I've had no

3:29

need to go on. And I'm going to

3:31

take you. And I'm going to show you

3:33

the metro that has no driver.

3:35

Okay. Mate. You fucking guess. What do

3:37

you mean? I just was like... We

3:40

can stand at the front of the

3:42

train with no one in front of

3:44

us while this thing drives us from

3:46

North Sydney, which is like on the

3:48

other side of the harbor, which is

3:50

like on the other side. No

3:52

driver on that bloody train mate. This is

3:54

this is a bloody forward-thinking

3:57

city. Okay, great And I'm very proud

3:59

of it I want show you. Yeah, I mean

4:01

you can just you've told me about it

4:03

and I get it. Well I text you

4:05

yesterday and I said look I'll take you

4:07

out and I'll show you Sydney and then

4:09

you use text me and you said I

4:11

know Sydney mate. Full stop. No I did

4:13

not. I said I've seen Sydney mate. I

4:15

said I've seen Sydney mate. Yeah and then

4:17

I wrote back are you okay? I thought

4:19

back are you okay? No. We can go

4:21

get an ice cream. No, I don't want

4:23

to go side-seeing. I've seen Sydney. You have

4:25

seen Sydney, mate. I'm good. What have you

4:27

seen? You haven't seen the Metro? You haven't

4:29

seen... Have you been on the Ferry? What

4:31

have you been on the Ferry? Ferry, a

4:34

hundred times. Okay, have you been to... A

4:36

hundred times. Okay, have you been to... A

4:38

hundred times. Okay, have you been to... A

4:40

hundred times. Okay, have you've been... You've forgotten,

4:42

you've gotten the big one. Then you've got

4:44

the big one. Then you've been, I've been,

4:46

I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been,

4:48

I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been,

4:50

I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've,

4:52

I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've,

4:54

I've, I've, I've, I Right? Oh my god!

4:56

And I was going to say to you

4:58

bring it back pack. I don't know how

5:00

fucking you talking about! So I was going

5:02

to say bring it back pack, we'll go

5:04

for a walk, we'll walk from North Sydney

5:06

across the bridge. I mean people overseas right

5:08

now listening to this would be like, what

5:10

the fuck's a problem? We get to walk

5:12

across the bridge? I bet you haven't walked

5:14

across the bridge. No there's so beautiful, you

5:16

get to see the bloody opera house, you

5:19

get to see? Mate, think of... the people

5:21

listening to this right now in London, dreary

5:23

old London and we can walk at sunset

5:25

before daylight saving finishes. I've never walked across

5:27

a bridge in London either mate. I've never

5:29

walked across a bridge in London either mate.

5:31

That's not, that's not, I mean London, London

5:33

Bridge is not, London Bridge, right? London Bridge

5:35

is not what you think it is mate.

5:37

I've seen it, I know you're gonna have

5:39

me in a bloody suit climbing the fucking

5:41

thing, like why? having an open moment. I

5:43

mean I was I was picturing you in

5:45

the big blue outfit. It's one of those

5:47

moments where I think this guy just doesn't

5:49

know me at all. Oh I don't though.

5:51

But I think I don't know you really

5:53

do. And then other times I think... it

5:55

is. You don't like Sydney. I love Sydney.

5:57

Because when we're in Melbourne you take me

5:59

on the trams. Remember we did the tram

6:01

a few times? Because we had to go

6:04

from one place to another. We're going to

6:06

get from one place to another on the

6:08

brand new metro. I can't wait to show

6:10

you. We could walk across the bridge together.

6:12

Have a bit of an experience. Hey, look

6:14

at you maybe get a photo together on

6:16

the bridge. Oh my, post it on Instagram.

6:18

Put in the close Facebook Facebook group. Look

6:20

at these guys having fun together. Oh my

6:22

god, they're not just doing a podcast. I'm

6:24

not your auntie from Bundeburg. Like what are

6:26

you on? I thought I should show you

6:28

Sydney. No, you cannot show me Sydney. Let's

6:30

go to, let's go to Otto for dinner,

6:32

then straight to Oxford Street, see some drag,

6:34

dance the night away, do some poppers, get

6:36

a cabab on the way home. I've done

6:38

all of that before. Let's do that. Like,

6:40

I'm not fucking walking walking over a breach

6:42

over a breach. We've done... And I'm going

6:44

to say this, I think our casino is

6:46

better than yours. Probably, I'm sure it is.

6:49

You are, that's why. And casinos are all...

6:51

Well, we love them, mate, we're always there.

6:53

We love them, but we love them for...

6:55

And I'm excited for a big night out

6:57

tonight, you know? Well, I'm excited for a

6:59

big night out tonight, you know? Well, come

7:01

on, it's been a bloody, it's been a

7:03

bloody while. When was the the last time

7:05

you, when I had a night out, you,

7:07

you, I had a night out, I had

7:09

a night out, I was the last time,

7:11

I had a night out, I was the

7:13

last time, I had a night out, I

7:15

was, I had a night out, I was,

7:17

I was, I had a night out, I

7:19

was, I had a night out, I was,

7:21

I was, I had a night out, I

7:23

was, I had a night out, I was,

7:25

I was, I I even told my wife,

7:27

I said, look, I'm not coming home on

7:29

Thursday night. I'm not coming home, mate, we're

7:31

going out. Well, you lost me with your

7:34

itinerary so far. I'm like, oh my God.

7:36

Okay, well, we can scrap the walking. Definitely.

7:38

But let's do the train, mate. No, I

7:40

don't want to get excited about public transport.

7:42

I just can't. This is a forward thinking,

7:44

watch used to the train station. It's like,

7:46

it's like, it's bloody amazing. This

7:49

is the guy I have to come now.

7:51

I've become passionate about trains. I've seen train

7:53

stations. No, this is you've not seen a

7:55

train station like this before, mate. Eventually I

7:57

have. I mean, you know, good on you.

7:59

and I'm glad you love the city. Good

8:02

on me. I didn't do it. Good on

8:04

you, city. The premier put it all together.

8:06

One of the great things that she did

8:08

when she was in leadership. Yeah, but it's

8:10

not a tourist attraction. It's not. Oh, mate.

8:12

I'm not going to have it. Not for

8:15

me. Save it for the Russians. Save it

8:17

for Yulia's family. Did you take Yulia's mum

8:19

on it? Yeah. Everyone that comes here. I

8:21

take them there. And I did take Mum

8:23

on there. And Mum was like, wow Simon,

8:25

this is amazing. Yeah, no, but I'm expecting

8:28

you to do the same. And tell me

8:30

that it's amazing because it's mine. You know,

8:32

like that's what I feel like this train

8:34

is my fucking train. I know you do.

8:36

And no, we're not doing any of that.

8:38

I'm going to have a quiet night. I'm

8:41

going to have a club sandwich. Shh. No,

8:44

I don't even have... And you're walking shoes

8:46

or did you bring the crocks again? I've

8:48

already got my crocks again. I don't have

8:50

sketches walking shoes like an old lady. No,

8:53

I don't have a water bottle. No, we're

8:55

not walking over a bridge. I feel like

8:57

I do all of the things that you

8:59

love doing. Like what? Well, nothing. Yeah, going

9:02

to restaurants, freaking wine. Yeah, I do all

9:04

of those things. Yeah, this is... They cannot

9:06

grown up things to do. My, walking across

9:08

the bridge, wait till you see the grownups

9:10

that are on that bridge. Lots of power

9:13

walkers on there, getting out there. We're not

9:15

doing it. We're not power walking, no. Obviously,

9:17

we're not walking at all. So save it

9:19

for your mom. Save it for your a

9:22

ask when they come down from the Gold

9:24

Coast. I didn't say, babe. All I said

9:26

was, let's take the metro. I actually, I

9:28

didn't say, what did I say, let's go

9:31

out, let's go out, let's go out for

9:33

a nice dinner. I'll show you around Sydney.

9:35

Yes. I'll show you some of Sydney. In

9:37

my mind, I was like, in my mind,

9:39

I was like, so what we could do,

9:42

we could finish the recording, then we could

9:44

jump on the train, which is just down

9:46

a holiday to see. the big city that

9:48

Simon lives in. Like, it's like, I'm not,

9:51

I'm not here on holidays, Barb. I'm not

9:53

your auntie from the Queensland, you know, hinterland.

9:55

Like, I'm just here to work for the

9:57

day. But let's enjoy a bit of, like,

10:00

come on, mate. Are you saying that this

10:02

is just work? We enjoy each other's company.

10:04

I enjoy your company, but I think I

10:06

don't. It can be too much so sometimes.

10:09

So I'm going for any of those activities.

10:11

I'd love to go and have a great

10:13

meal and drink wine. Yeah, we're going to

10:15

do that. Great. Yeah. But there's going to

10:17

be a bit of a lead up to

10:20

it. It's going to be like the foreplay

10:22

before we get there, you know? No, no,

10:24

we're not doing any of that shit. I've

10:26

seen Sydney, mate. I'm going to tell you're

10:29

pretty tough. I'm going to have got an

10:31

idea. Bags tours, tours, bags of Sydney tours.

10:33

Yeah. flag with it with a koala hanging

10:35

off the top. I'll do that for free

10:38

mate. I don't even want to get paid

10:40

for that. I love it that hard. If

10:42

you would like to see bags as Sydney,

10:44

we're talking public transport, we're talking walking over

10:46

a bridge. Yeah, the Sydney Harbour Bridge guys,

10:49

by the way, just say that you across

10:51

that one, Google it. Google it. What else

10:53

are we talking? A fairy? We're talking a

10:55

fairy. We're talking a fairy. We're talking a

10:58

lot of, essentially a lot of public trash.

11:00

If you would like that. Well there's also

11:02

a light rail as well, which is not

11:04

that bad. That's very similar to a tram.

11:07

So I thought you wouldn't be that excited

11:09

by that. But we could drive the light

11:11

rail as well. Throw that rail as well.

11:13

Throw that sky bus into town. Instead of

11:16

forget a taxi or an Uber, get the

11:18

bloody public. This is a public travel. You

11:20

can get a train in Sydney. You get

11:22

a train into town from the airport. This

11:24

is shaping up to be quite the trip.

11:27

You are hard. You are a bloody hard

11:29

place. You are hard. You are hard. You

11:31

are hard to place. You are hard to

11:33

place. You can be from Brisbane. You can

11:36

be from the Gold Coast? You can be

11:38

from a kai? You're getting the... Melbourne? No.

11:40

Melbourne? No one from Melbourne. You're a public

11:42

transport down there? Yeah, we do, but we

11:45

just use public transport. Like, we don't, we

11:47

don't show it to our visitors. Do you

11:49

guys even pay for your public transport down

11:51

there? Not a lot. So, that's something you

11:53

could show people. It's how to... get it

11:56

for free but yeah so if you've got

11:58

any sort of middle-aged to elderly relatives I'm

12:00

now realizing if we had made it onto

12:02

the amazing race you would have been hard

12:05

I told you that I'm realizing like you

12:07

wouldn't have you wouldn't have seen it like

12:09

a fun like bags of Michelle experience you

12:11

would have been like oh god this is

12:14

this is a week of my life yeah

12:16

I would have gone this is work this

12:18

is work this we get to go to

12:20

like you know Abu Dhabi and all these

12:23

places and all these places go and see

12:25

the Yeah, but it's like you're not staying

12:27

beautiful. Why are the sand dunes together? Imagine

12:29

that. Yeah, that'd be fun. Imagine that. I'm

12:31

sitting on a bloody piece of cardboard riding

12:34

down a sand dune. You know, you've got

12:36

a beak grettled out at the bottom and

12:38

she's fucking white antening you the whole way

12:40

down. It's not easy. Not easy to have

12:43

fun. It's not easy to have fun with

12:45

you at the moment in Sydney. Come on

12:47

mate, lighten up a bit. We can have

12:49

fun. Just lighten off a bit. Got it.

12:52

Oxford Street, take in some drag, get some

12:54

makeup tips in the dunnies. I've done it

12:56

all before mate. Right, so that's fun. That's

12:58

all, that is all news. Public transport. We're

13:00

not this, not driverless bloody trains mate. Get

13:03

around it. Can't wait to show you. I've

13:05

or write them into us. Here is

15:05

our first one for today My partner

15:07

and I have a pack to watch

15:09

shows together like TV shows and stuff

15:11

like that But I secretly re-watch everything

15:13

without him. Why would you do that?

15:15

Well, because he probably talks all the

15:18

way through it or asks you questions

15:20

or ruins it in some way. Is

15:22

this what you're doing with White Lotus

15:24

at the moment, not letting the kids

15:26

watch it with you? They wouldn't watch

15:28

anything with me anyway. And also, it's...

15:31

I'm not kid-friendly. Yeah, it's not kid-friendly.

15:33

I even gasped and fake cried during

15:35

a twist I'd already seen just to

15:37

keep up the illusion that I'm watching

15:39

it for the first time with him.

15:41

Yeah, I'm doing that. Would you go

15:44

that far? Yeah, well I'm doing that

15:46

with Louis, my son, with yellow jackets.

15:48

I see you're doing the fake. Yeah,

15:50

I'm faking it because I'm up to

15:52

date. Later! And when he finally gets

15:54

around to me, it's weeks later and

15:57

I'm like, I'm not waiting weeks. I

15:59

mean to agree with you on something

16:01

for the first time I think, which

16:03

is the... back in the day when

16:05

TV would be released at the same

16:07

time like if friends came out on

16:10

a Monday night at 730 we had

16:12

to sit down as a family and

16:14

watch friends right now that doesn't happen

16:16

anymore so you've got to have these

16:18

problems right you can sneak a you

16:20

can sneak an episode in yeah and

16:23

then you have to fake it and

16:25

he's just thinking oh well we'll get

16:27

around to yellow jackets when we get

16:29

around to it and I'm like is

16:31

it that big a problem though If

16:33

you've watched, I mean we were like

16:36

this with Shitz Creek, where Yulia and

16:38

I were like right into Shitz Creek

16:40

and we made sure that we didn't

16:42

get ahead. It's good for couples I

16:44

think to have shows that they love

16:46

to watch together, but I told you

16:49

I really knew my marriage was open,

16:51

was open. I wish, but it was

16:53

over when, yeah, I think we would

16:55

still be married if it was open.

16:57

Let's talk about that, forget about the

16:59

secret. We will, we will, but I

17:02

knew my marriage was over when I

17:04

was staying at my husband's house, perhaps

17:06

the fact that we had different houses

17:08

was a clue that it was over,

17:10

but I was staying at his house

17:12

one night and I got bored with

17:15

waiting for him, like last year, so

17:17

I just went to bed and I

17:19

fell asleep and I woke up and

17:21

I woke up and I could hear

17:23

the unmistakable sound the unmistakable sound of

17:25

the walking dead. coming from the lounge

17:27

room. And I thought, he's watching the

17:30

fucking walking dead without me. And that

17:32

had been our show for like about

17:34

eight years. Unforgivable. And I just went

17:36

out there to the lounge room. I

17:38

said this is unforgivable. You've crossed a

17:40

line. It's over. And I left. So

17:43

when you walked out, did you like

17:45

even though you knew it was the

17:47

walking dead? You're watching the walking dead.

17:49

Of course I did. Of course I

17:51

did. Yeah, of course it is. Sparked

17:53

it up that way. What are you

17:56

doing? What are you doing? What are

17:58

you watching? Are you standing in front

18:00

of the TV doing this? Pretty much.

18:02

What are you watching? Sat nighty? Yeah.

18:04

Walking dead. I was like, oh my

18:06

God. So is that the moment where

18:09

you guys have the blow up where

18:11

you go this is a... this is

18:13

it? Like is it the walking dead?

18:15

There were a number of those moments

18:17

but that that was definitely that was

18:19

the moment for me when I just

18:22

felt like he doesn't care about me

18:24

anymore. He actually doesn't care about me

18:26

anymore. He's actually not making any effort.

18:28

That's a bit. I mean it's a

18:30

bloody TV show. I'm realizing now even

18:32

through the secret that the TV shows

18:35

and people are watching at the right

18:37

pace in the right time. Yeah. It

18:39

could be a make or break deal

18:41

when it comes to a relationship. Yeah,

18:43

he's a deal breaker. I mean, I

18:45

fell asleep when he started watching the

18:48

wire and I've never seen it as

18:50

a result. Because I woke up the

18:52

next day and he'd watched like five

18:54

episodes of it and I was like,

18:56

well, I can't, I haven't got time

18:58

to catch up. So now I've never

19:01

seen the wire. So, but the Walking

19:03

Dead, as I say, that was years

19:05

long, our ritual. And he's obviously got

19:07

to a point with me and our

19:09

relationship where he's thought, not important. Yeah,

19:11

I'm going to watch the Walking Dead.

19:14

Heartbreaking. How do you file it? Perfectly

19:16

understandable because if you... I just don't

19:18

tell him, I mean you know me,

19:20

I'm always a big advocate for... You

19:22

know, he's... Yeah, for lying. You know,

19:24

it's fine. You know, it's fine. As

19:27

long as he's happy and you're happy.

19:29

That was a problem. Fancy watching the

19:31

walking dead while I'm in your house

19:33

asleep. You could have watched it any

19:35

other time and I wouldn't have known.

19:37

Maybe he wanted to, I think he

19:39

was... Was he that clever? Was he

19:42

that clever? No. Okay, let's get into

19:44

the next secret. My boss posted a

19:46

long inspirational quote about gratitude and growth.

19:48

Oh God. We've worked with a lady

19:50

like this before. Remember her with a

19:52

post at night? Oh, okay, sorry. My

19:55

boss posted a long inspirational quote about

19:57

gratitude and growth the day I was

19:59

fired. I, anonymously replied. This you, with

20:01

a screenshot of a slack message, where

20:03

she called someone a... headweight. She deleted

20:05

it within 10 minutes. Oh that's funny.

20:08

Well I'm a big one for receipts

20:10

for keeping receipts. I love nothing more

20:12

than being able to send someone a

20:14

moment and just go. Or send ideally

20:16

a group of people an email in

20:18

which someone is saying something that they're

20:21

now claiming they didn't say. I mean

20:23

that makes my day. That's just like

20:25

I keep receipts girl. You keep every

20:27

single email. I do. How's that inbox

20:29

going? How many? How many? Heaving. It's

20:31

heaving. But you know, you just do

20:34

a little search and you go. What

20:36

word would you know and you find.

20:38

Up it comes. Yeah. Someone signs a

20:40

contract they forgot they signed or someone

20:42

agrees to something that they're now saying

20:44

they didn't or you know or someone's

20:47

claiming they wrote something and I've got

20:49

the email of me sending it to

20:51

them that I wrote. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

20:53

receipts are great. You gotta keep your

20:55

receipts good. But receipts are great when

20:57

you're in the position where you're presenting.

21:00

Yes. Receits are not great when you're

21:02

in the position where you're on the

21:04

back foot. You're

21:06

thorough. You're thorough. Yeah. We're both pretty

21:09

thorough people, but we could easily. I've

21:11

never been receded against. But I think

21:13

it's probably our line of work. There's

21:15

something about- You have to be, because

21:17

there's dodgy people out there, isn't it?

21:19

Yeah, and I think there's something about

21:21

our brains that is very conscious of

21:23

what we're saying all the time. Like,

21:26

I find that other people, I often

21:28

think, do you seriously not remember? that

21:30

conversation or that email chain or I'm

21:32

constantly stunned by people not remembering you

21:34

know conveniently not yeah claiming later when

21:36

people do that like how do you

21:38

where's your integrity how can you how

21:40

can you be saying somebody's face yes

21:43

generally when there's a I think sometimes

21:45

people genuinely forget to but but I

21:47

don't and so I always have it

21:49

in the like a vibe in the

21:51

back of my mind where I'll go,

21:53

no, I'm sure they said they'd pay

21:55

for that. And now they're saying something

21:57

else. You know, it might have been

22:00

years before and I'm always right. Like

22:02

it's just a vibe. I think, yeah,

22:04

I don't make this stuff up in

22:06

my head. Some people forget and other

22:08

people then do makeup. new scenarios in

22:10

their head that you have to just

22:12

remind them, no that's not what happened.

22:14

Oh God, I'll run out this, what's

22:17

this scenario? What is this scenario? Oh

22:19

I can think of a number of

22:21

them. A number of them where people

22:23

just... Is it worth talking about here

22:25

though? No, nothing specific, but where people

22:27

just fire off emails, but where people...

22:29

No, nothing specific, but where people just

22:32

fire off emails, going, yeah, yeah, I'll

22:34

pay them, a number of them where

22:36

people, where people... Is it worth talking

22:38

about here though, or talking about here

22:40

though, I don't talking about, I don't,

22:42

or... No, or... No, no, or what,

22:44

or what, or what, or what, or

22:46

what, or what, what, what, what, what,

22:49

what, what, what, what, what, a number,

22:51

a number, a number, a number, a

22:53

number, a number, a number, a number,

22:55

a number, a, a number, a number,

22:57

a number, You know, where you just

22:59

have to go, okay, can I just

23:01

be paid for the services I provide?

23:03

Yeah, here's the deal that I did.

23:06

Now you all figure that out between

23:08

the two of you, but you need

23:10

to pay me, you know? Yeah, that

23:12

happens a bit. It's a power move,

23:14

mate. That's what they refer to as

23:16

a power move. I'm unapologetic when it

23:18

comes to that moment, you know? Yeah.

23:20

Because that's a point. You're hoping that

23:23

people will just do it in good

23:25

faith. Like, okay, can we just operate

23:27

normally? Everyone will just be reasonable. Everyone

23:29

will just do what they said they

23:31

were going to do. Everyone will be

23:33

honest. Because once you have pulled out

23:35

of the receipt on somebody, the relationship

23:37

goes pretty bad, doesn't it? When you're

23:40

at the point where you're like, okay,

23:42

well, here's the receipt proving that I'm

23:44

right. That's never a good. Also, how

23:46

is this boss in a slack in

23:48

a slack conversation? Ripping into people. How

23:50

do people get jobs as bosses sometimes?

23:52

What do you slack again? It's like

23:54

a workplace communication system where you can

23:57

chat things out and you know have

23:59

little side conversations. So it's basically because

24:01

everyone's working online now, it's ways... It's

24:03

a way for businesses to be able

24:05

to, you know, have basically, like, you

24:07

know, less meetings and more communication going

24:09

on. So it's almost like you've got

24:12

all these WhatsApp conversations going on at

24:14

work. Oh, so that's ripe for mistakes,

24:16

isn't it? It's ripe for typing in

24:18

the wrong message to the wrong person.

24:20

Yeah. Like I'm talking to you about

24:22

Matthew and then I suddenly write something.

24:24

to you about you. But I was

24:26

working in a company where they were

24:29

like that, where it was, I, like,

24:31

we came from radio, where, you know,

24:33

we would just talk to each other,

24:35

right? Or text, but then in the

24:37

slack, there were these side conversations going

24:39

on, and I remember thinking, What if

24:41

these get pulled up? All of this

24:43

gossip that is going on? I would

24:46

never jump into those conversations purely on

24:48

the base that I know this could

24:50

be used against me, but the younger

24:52

ones were happy just to chat it

24:54

all out. Oh no. Yeah, but I

24:56

guess the youngest that they haven't had

24:58

that experience, we've had where you know

25:00

that you've had someone show. Oh, okay,

25:03

fuck, and you gotta go. Well, you

25:05

find out the hard way that the

25:07

boss owns all your emails, so they

25:09

can just go through. They cannot do

25:11

that. No, no, I have, you know,

25:13

there's no, that's illegal. Because I have

25:15

seen it done. I've thought about that.

25:17

No, you cannot go through somebody's email,

25:20

because it's like a breach of privacy.

25:22

Is it really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

25:24

I've seen it done in a radio

25:26

station. Where they go through the email

25:28

address. Yeah, there was a, now I

25:30

can't remember the ins and outs, but

25:32

I remember. I mean, if there's something

25:34

illegal, then they can subpoena the email

25:37

address, but they cannot go through a

25:39

bloody email. But I remember the realization

25:41

this woman had, that they had been

25:43

through her emails and that they said

25:45

that they could, that they could, that

25:47

the company owns them or something. Yeah.

25:49

I think it might have been a

25:52

mutual friend of ours. Oh, okay. Yeah.

25:54

We still like them. No. Oh. Okay.

25:56

Oh, mate. Oh, old mate. Yeah, yeah,

25:58

yeah. But, but, but, it's not because

26:00

I can't remember. You mean postit notes?

26:02

No. Higher? Yeah. Higher than postit notes.

26:04

Yeah, block this out. Yeah, that won't

26:06

go. Yeah. We all know who he

26:09

is. Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, let's

26:11

get into our first audio secret for

26:13

today. Hey guys, I was just listening

26:15

to the ghost story episode, Game of

26:17

the Heebee-Geebies, but when you mentioned about

26:19

wanting ghost stories from normal people, I

26:21

reckon I'm kind of vanilla, and I

26:23

really haven't told him on this because

26:26

I don't want to sound like a

26:28

weirdo. But about 12 years ago, I

26:30

was with my partner. And we'd been

26:32

together about three years. He was kiwi

26:34

from New Zealand to all of his

26:36

family from New Zealand and he was

26:38

estranged from his dad anyway. And one

26:40

night I woke up and his dad

26:43

was in our bedroom and it freaked

26:45

me out and I told my partner

26:47

when I woke up in the morning

26:49

about his dad being in our bedroom.

26:51

And then... We found out the next

26:53

day that his dad had fallen over

26:55

in the bathroom and had a heart

26:57

attack and died Like so I don't

27:00

know what that's all about And like

27:02

it has happened a couple of other

27:04

times since not as weird as that

27:06

but like things like that where I've

27:08

had this six cents has happened since

27:10

and I don't tell anybody but I

27:12

love the pot, I listen all the

27:14

time, don't miss an episode. So yeah,

27:17

telling my besties. Thank you. One besties.

27:19

We're like Jackie, Owen, Gemma. Oh, and

27:21

obviously be Gemma, the redhead. All the

27:23

other lady and her daughter. Oh, yeah,

27:25

the best, I only used to use

27:27

that example, that would be way better.

27:29

Well, there's lots of besties around place,

27:32

but... Cat, Cat, and Latisha, obviously you'd

27:34

be Latisha. Yes. I'd be the mature

27:36

mother. Yes, that's right. I'd be the

27:38

hot daughter. 16 year old daughter who's

27:40

born 21 or whatever she is. Whatever

27:42

she is. Absolutely. Look, this lady who's

27:44

just left us a secret is a

27:46

spirit medium, whether she knows it or

27:49

not. I thought that dad was going

27:51

to be a creeper or something like

27:53

that at first. I was thinking, what's

27:55

going on with dad? Yeah, I was

27:57

like, that's weird. Yeah, okay. That's amazing

27:59

because you know you sort of expect

28:01

his son to have a visitation from

28:03

him but not you ma'am. So that

28:06

just says to me... So maybe ghosts

28:08

don't care about that. They just want

28:10

to visit whoever. Oh absolutely and I

28:12

don't think he's probably even visiting her.

28:14

I think he's trying to visit his

28:16

son but she's a spiritual medium whether

28:18

she likes it or not and she

28:20

is in touch with the spirit world

28:23

and she has seen him there. Yeah.

28:25

He's come to visit he's a strange

28:27

son on his son on his way

28:29

out on his way out. and bloody

28:31

she saw him. Have you had a,

28:33

uh, anyone from the past, or when

28:35

somebody dies, or you find out that

28:37

they've died, you know, overnight or whatever,

28:40

have you ever had a moment where

28:42

you've gone, I felt something weird happening

28:44

in the room last night? Or did

28:46

I had a moment when I was

28:48

a, when I was a kid, we

28:50

had these beautiful old aunties, they were

28:52

my dad's auntie, auntie... Greta and Auntie

28:54

Muriel and Auntie Greta was the one

28:57

who lived closest to us and she

28:59

was the one we spent the most

29:01

time with and my they never had

29:03

kids any of them so my dad

29:05

was just the apple of their eye

29:07

and that spoiled him probably why it

29:09

was such an asshole but anyway that's

29:11

another story but um so he was

29:14

close Auntie Greta she was our lady

29:16

little tiny cutie and her house Actually,

29:18

I've got a couple to tell you

29:20

about her. Her house still in Towomba

29:22

had a wood stove. She used to

29:24

heat her water through this, like she's

29:26

living in a bloody 800 house. Old

29:29

days, yeah, right, but loving it sick.

29:31

Anyway, one day I had moved out,

29:33

I can't remember where I was living,

29:35

either Brisbane or Melbourne, and for some

29:37

reason I just rang my parents house.

29:39

Like I wasn't, you know, when you're

29:41

that age, when you sort of... I

29:43

don't know, 18, 19, you're not ringing

29:46

your parents a lot. And it was

29:48

a weekday, I think, and I, I

29:50

don't know what sort of day it

29:52

was because my brother answered. So I've

29:54

just rung up and gone, hey, what

29:56

are you doing? He goes, um, I

29:58

think honey Greta's dead. I

30:01

said, what? He goes, yeah, we

30:03

just, the phone just rang and

30:05

it was the hospital and mum

30:07

and dad have just run out

30:09

of here, just went run screaming

30:11

out of here to go to

30:13

the hospital, so yeah. And she

30:15

died. So it was just like

30:17

I had this weird instinct to

30:20

call home that there was a

30:22

drama. Well, about six months, so

30:24

she died, they sold her house.

30:26

About six months later, it's New

30:28

Year's Eve. My dad's a taxi

30:30

driver. He always works New Year's

30:32

Eve. He gets a call. Oh,

30:34

can you come to something like

30:36

33 Goodwood Street or something? He

30:39

thinks, oh, you're joking. That's only

30:41

greater South. It's the new owners

30:43

have called for a taxi. So

30:45

he's already thinking, oh, that's nice.

30:47

So he drives over there. It's

30:49

about. quarter to 12 and the

30:51

guy comes out to the taxi

30:53

and says to him, hey mate

30:55

come in, he goes I just

30:58

want to do the countdown here

31:00

with my friends. Yeah right. And

31:02

they said just come in and

31:04

do it with us and then

31:06

we'll leave. So he finds himself

31:08

in Arne Greta's backyard at the

31:10

stroke of midnight, New Year's Eve,

31:12

and he thinks he's had a

31:14

very powerful feeling like she did

31:17

that. That's pretty beautiful, isn't it?

31:19

Yeah, it's wild. So she didn't

31:21

visit or anything like that? Okay.

31:23

Not physically? Yeah, it's still very

31:25

random. But I feel like we

31:27

both had these really powerful moments

31:29

of her presence. Wow. You, Lonnie

31:31

Greeter, so cute. All right. How

31:33

do you file that secret? The

31:35

ghost secret. Well, just be careful,

31:38

because I think you're a spiritual

31:40

medium and I honestly think you

31:42

should maybe do some reading about

31:44

it. So, I don't know. If

31:46

this was a movie, you'd get

31:48

those scary ones, like in the

31:50

sixth sense. You know every now

31:52

and then it might get scary,

31:54

but it's just interesting to look

31:57

into she wants to talk to

31:59

our mate John Edwards Totally we

32:01

should yeah, yeah, all right. Let's

32:03

get into the next secret Honestly

32:05

guys where the fuck of the

32:07

secrets like maybe this isn't a

32:09

secret maybe it is I don't

32:11

give a spark if you want

32:13

to use it. But like, you

32:16

guys are so stupid shit. These

32:18

fucking weird celebrities like you and

32:20

your mates want to talk about,

32:22

where are the secrets? Isn't it

32:24

called, can we be real where

32:26

you share your deepest, darkest secrets

32:28

and fucking blah blah blah blah?

32:30

Voice your voice. Oh, I... There's

32:32

like three episodes of you guys

32:35

32:37

Come on. Come on. She wants

32:39

secrets. She wants secrets. Isn't it

32:41

cold fucking? Can we be real?

32:43

With the secrets. Well it is.

32:45

And look, you know, that's a

32:47

bit of feedback. A bit of

32:49

feedback. A bit of feedback. A

32:51

bit of feedback Friday on a,

32:54

yeah, whatever day this is. But

32:56

look, you know, she loves the

32:58

secrets. Sure does. And she's passionate

33:00

about them and I feel like

33:02

she's at like, like a three

33:04

a-a-m-m-m kind of job there where

33:06

she's like a- Coggy Tease? I

33:08

wonder if she remembers it. Yeah.

33:10

She's just hearing it now and

33:13

thinking, fuck, I'm passionate about secrets.

33:15

Yeah, weird dream I had the

33:17

other night. Yeah, look fair enough.

33:19

What's somebody do you think got

33:21

a, like, where she just heard

33:23

this story about a celebrity and

33:25

went, fuck this shit, I want

33:27

secrets, I don't want to hear

33:29

about somebody. I don't know, I'd

33:32

love to know more. Um, although

33:34

he's kind of perfect on its

33:36

own, isn't it's own. It's

33:39

hard to know how to respond, but um...

33:41

I get it. I get it. There are

33:43

still secrets. She's passionate about, you know, people,

33:45

bloody, sharing. Yeah, I get it. Getting your,

33:48

you know, how you file a secret. Yep,

33:50

yep, yep, yep, she is passionate about her

33:52

secrets. We can't look, unfortunately, it's a supply

33:54

and demand issue. Yeah, and sometimes we are

33:56

low as fuck, like, you know, we can't...

33:58

secrets up. We bring you as many as

34:00

we get. And then when we run out

34:02

we just got to fill it up with

34:05

some other stuff. Yeah and that's why we

34:07

do other episodes about other things because then

34:09

we've got someone else up about us saying

34:11

well oh guys I want to hear you

34:13

every day. I've had no secrets. Yeah. You

34:15

know what we can't keep everyone happening. No

34:17

we can't. And we're trying. Yeah but we

34:20

can't. We can't, darling. But it'll always be

34:22

there. It'll always be a fundamental part of

34:24

the podcast. Is it Wednesdays? Is that Secret

34:26

Day? Monday's Wednesdays, yeah. So there's a couple

34:28

of days. Well, there's a couple of days,

34:30

but sometimes there's a week or two where

34:32

we don't do them. You know, like it

34:35

just, like, it's, it's, yeah. She's gone for

34:37

a couple of weeks there, where we were

34:39

lied on. Farkin, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

34:41

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

34:43

That's all she's all she's all she's all

34:45

she's all she's all she's all she's all

34:47

she's heard about about some, about some, about

34:50

some, about some, about some celebrities, about some

34:52

celebrities, about some celebrities, about some celebrities, about

34:54

some celebrities, about some celebrities, about some celebrities,

34:56

about some celebrities, about some celebrities, about some

34:58

celebrities, some celebrities, some celebrities, Okay. I think

35:00

more people should drink and then share their

35:02

secret. Oh, look, more people should drunk dial

35:05

in general. Don't you think? It's just such

35:07

a good idea. We should set up a

35:09

drunk dial line. I think where you, where

35:11

the purpose is you only, you only submit

35:13

after you've had six drinks. I love that

35:15

and you know what else that could be,

35:17

that could be a community service like instead

35:19

of calling your ex or your boss or

35:22

your parents, ring us, ring us, yeah, and

35:24

vent it, okay, do we need a separate

35:26

line or can they just ring the secret

35:28

line? You can ring the same line. Yeah,

35:30

and just say, hey, this is a drunk,

35:32

drunk message. Okay, brilliant. We don't over complicated

35:34

things, complicated things, you know. Sweet sweet girl

35:37

has now invented a new segment drunk and

35:39

dial drunk and dial drunk dial Drunk and

35:41

die. But you've got to be really, like

35:43

you've got to have had a fair few.

35:45

You've got to be blind. Don't just have

35:47

one or two in the share of secret,

35:49

like you've got to have a slur. I

35:52

mean she missed words halfway through the sentence.

35:54

There's a lot of red flags in there,

35:56

or green flags depending on how you're looking

35:58

at it. Yeah, a lot of changing course,

36:00

a lot of markers, love it. I love

36:02

you. Yeah, we love you. I'm sorry there's

36:04

not as enough secrets for you. We're doing

36:07

our best and you are one now in

36:09

a way, but you've also started the new

36:11

segment drunk and dial. And please keep submitting

36:13

your secrets otherwise. She's going to get angry.

36:15

And we don't need that. Nobody needs that.

36:17

Do you want to file that one? Perfectly

36:19

understandable. Yeah, of course. Yeah. All right, that

36:22

is it for today's episode. If you have
