0:02

Imagine, if you will, that

0:06

you are in a place of great beauty.

0:11

Some teenage boys walk past you, they

0:15

yell out, they bitch

0:18

tits. The

0:20

world you see is a place of paradox

0:23

of beauty and cruelty. It

0:25

will cut you off at the knees then

0:28

gift you a pair of easies.

0:31

And that, my friends, is why

0:34

you always always

0:37

need a buck up.

0:48

I can't even hear it. You were doing the intro

0:50

live. On top of the intro live. It was

0:52

like a Britney concert. That's right

0:54

where I was miming to myself. That

0:57

was my joke. I can't l

1:03

We are alive at a brofest. We

1:05

are. It's a tech bras, so many

1:07

bros. Everyone looks like el mask

1:10

everyone. Do you know what what?

1:12

I've got a massive, massive

1:15

things. I've just realized,

1:18

what is it? A thing? Crush

1:21

one hundred percent? What do you think it is? Transplants?

1:25

The other week he's had one.

1:26

Yeah, he's I want to see because when they show

1:29

before and after pictures him

1:31

like in his twenties, nothing

1:35

now.

1:35

And also because his father.

1:37

Like ten children ten oh yes,

1:40

he's invoke the multiple mother cause

1:42

there's like I think there's like six mothers

1:45

for ten children.

1:46

I know he wants to Mars classic

1:49

men.

1:49

And also there's some scientists

1:52

who a female scientist and she's

1:54

hot as haydes okay and I

1:56

can't remember her name, you know, not interesting

1:59

scientists, no, no, not the wise.

2:02

She met him somewhere and he said to her,

2:05

she's properly like a rocket scientist.

2:08

And he said she first had breakfast

2:10

together, then he invited her for

2:12

lunch, then he invited her for dinner.

2:14

When did you read this?

2:16

She put it up somewhere in the talk. And

2:18

then she said he invited her

2:21

to his hotel room to

2:23

look at rocket launches

2:26

or whatever not launches.

2:28

Classic move right. And

2:30

she thought, and

2:33

guess what meaning thought? She thought rocket meant like

2:35

yeah, cool, but he actually meant rockets.

2:38

Literally he showed the pictures

2:40

of rocket nothing worse. But

2:44

wait, what's the crash about him?

2:46

Him? One hundred percent right?

2:49

I just think he's there's something about him

2:51

because you know what, this is the era of

2:53

a nerd being like.

2:55

Hosh nerds are back? Are you just saying

2:57

that because of where we are? Totally?

3:01

Did you say my name? Nate Valfoux.

3:03

He was known as Nake Body

3:07

pity applause, But I do appreciate

3:09

that. Thank you so much.

3:10

Do you know what, because these are people

3:12

who dwell in the realm

3:15

of transformation, and

3:17

so that you have gone for a night

3:20

to a Nate is a.

3:21

Sort of ship that makes easy. That's

3:25

what he's done. I did a system upgrade.

3:30

I'm trying to use. I'm trying to use the words

3:32

that they want us to use. We said south

3:35

by southwest.

3:35

Now we have that's where we are, which

3:39

is a festival that is in.

3:40

A building that's all gray.

3:44

Everything is grey, not the people,

3:46

not the environment.

3:47

A lot of the people, not our

3:50

crowd, like not our crowd, who

3:52

just.

3:53

A color of some color. I said to you in

3:55

the day, I think we're the only two people

3:57

with color on correct, which

3:59

is I on it?

4:00

Because a lot of people here are rainbow

4:02

people. But when it comes to wearing

4:04

clothes, oh my god, they're like.

4:06

Beis too bright. It's weird.

4:08

They're just they're not into it. But look at

4:10

us throwing up.

4:12

The vibe is good here. Please if you're please

4:14

have a s buck. It's a lovely first of all, but there's

4:17

a lot of the corners feel like I'm about

4:19

to get like a skin check. It's

4:22

just a cold gray corner.

4:25

Who do you think? And then I said to Kate,

4:27

I will give you ten thousand dollars if someone

4:29

comes up to you today and says I'm a buckhead

4:32

because I didn't think the people here didn't

4:34

And I said, we forgot to put it up on our socials.

4:36

It's happening.

4:38

So how do you people found out about

4:40

it?

4:40

Which are you thirty thousand dollars now?

4:43

Yeah, because Sim with sim

4:45

and her two girlfriends who work

4:47

with her colleagues bailed

4:50

me up coming back from the duney Yeah,

4:53

and actual proper story buck

4:55

knuckles, buckets,

4:58

buckheads, grandma?

4:59

And what your jobs?

5:01

We run a hr you run a

5:03

hrant consultancy,

5:06

and yet they can tolerate these reach

5:10

every single one of your guidelines. How

5:14

do you feel when we like

5:16

when we do homo talk, It's

5:20

probably not something we would support with our clients.

5:23

Here's a question for the HI Department. If

5:25

you listen to this week's podcast episode

5:28

that hopefully you did, you will know

5:30

that Kombank didn't let me pay my husband

5:33

and call him a puff in the description when

5:35

you send money, so in the description, I

5:37

wrote puff and then the combank blocked

5:39

it and told me that I was being offensive

5:42

to my own poof husband. So as

5:44

a HR company,

5:47

who's in the right here?

5:49

Look, I was outraged on your behalf because I

5:51

thought that was unacceptable. But so

5:55

you believe seeming the right to call

5:57

gay people and gay people are poor? Yeah,

6:02

yeah, ye, sorry,

6:05

No, that's right, it's it's honestly,

6:07

it's a mine field.

6:09

That's another podcast. So this

6:11

is the first time. Kate and I have been friends for a very

6:13

long time. But what we realized yesterday,

6:16

which is shocking, we

6:18

have never traveled together.

6:21

So in all of our years, we have

6:23

never been to an airport together.

6:26

And I know you know where I'm going with this.

6:29

I don't want to do it again. And I feel

6:32

that relationships and friendships

6:35

there is nothing to get tested

6:37

more than when you go to an airport together.

6:40

People bought at different times, people

6:42

like I don't know Kate arrived at the gate with someone

6:45

else's boarding past. How did you have

6:47

someone else's boarding parts, which.

6:49

We only discovered because when we were leaving.

6:52

But there's only one word for you at

6:55

an airport were no. When you're traveling officious,

6:58

you know, you were just one of those You're reeling

7:00

a trolley and you're just sort of one of

7:03

those people who'd hip and shoulder.

7:04

Someone out of the way. You didn't really

7:06

have a trolley. I had my carry

7:09

on suitcase which you had,

7:11

plus some other bags, plus so much other

7:13

stuff. And then get this. You turn to me, you

7:15

go, I'm in the exit row. I

7:17

have never felt so unsafe

7:19

in my life because,

7:22

let me tell you something, his life was in

7:25

my hands.

7:26

And you know what, that was my opportunity

7:28

to do something for the country, and I didn't.

7:31

That plane went down and they would have said, you

7:33

know, get out exit rows whatever, you would have

7:35

been doing all your faffing you where's

7:38

my bag? Where's my bag? I need

7:40

my other bag. Who's boarding passes

7:42

this? Hang on? My jewelry

7:45

is stuck in the.

7:45

Seat, and

7:48

you know what will power to me?

7:51

How did you get the exit row? I was so offended.

7:54

No, I learned something about the exit run that I don't

7:56

want to say.

7:57

Oh, oh okay,

7:59

we'll got that beat down in book. The exit

8:01

row A lot of me, a lot

8:03

of legs spread and.

8:04

So I was, yes, a lot of man spreading

8:08

in the actual and

8:10

Oddly enough, I didn't feel it all like ladies

8:12

spreading in return. It was just

8:15

really I just had to sit sideways.

8:17

But in fact I sat next to a lovely guy who

8:20

I adored.

8:21

Hello, Shannon, Shannon, Yeah, he's

8:23

just started listing. You had a chat.

8:26

Yes, I put out so

8:29

many messages that I do not want to talk. I've

8:31

got like two pairs of headphones on, and

8:33

you know what I'm going to say to you not necessary.

8:36

When people people see you,

8:39

they're like, I ain't talking to him. But

8:41

there's something about Katie that

8:44

elicits conversation

8:46

with people, because I'm not one

8:49

of.

8:49

The worst people in the world.

8:54

This is what we're going to discuss and

8:57

wait before okay, all right.

8:59

The funniest text message you've sent me in ages.

9:01

We were both on our way to the airport, and

9:04

I laughed so much at this. I don't know why I find

9:06

it so funny. Kate was in a Maxi

9:08

taxi a lot.

9:12

It was so darny, and

9:14

then I seen a picture, so

9:17

my husband helped

9:19

me into the Maxi taxi. I

9:22

was the solitary occupant,

9:24

I know, I saw the beer and then I just

9:26

took a photo of it to scene to you, so you could see

9:29

the full horror

9:31

of a Maxi taxi.

9:33

And my husband was helping me. I just had carry

9:35

on.

9:36

But then in the photo, when

9:40

I looked at the photo, I saw my husband.

9:42

He had his back to me, so he thought

9:44

I couldn't clock it. But what I saw

9:46

when I blew it up was he was laughing.

9:48

He was laughing, and I was too

9:51

o MG.

9:52

And inside it was exactly as you'd imagine

9:55

it. It's like a taxi from a Romania

9:57

in nineteen eighty one.

10:00

As there was things held together with tape.

10:02

There was just some general there were stains

10:05

reminiscent in the footballers

10:08

mad mondaye.

10:09

And you

10:13

know what ends nights coming back from wineries

10:15

and stuff normally. You know, you know what.

10:17

They say, No man has allegedly

10:20

walked on the moon.

10:21

Do they say that? Excuse

10:23

me, Alisa.

10:28

So you don't believe we walked on the moon. That

10:30

was not my point. But do you believe it? Don't?

10:34

So there's people in the room you're embarrassed to be you

10:37

were cop seriously,

10:39

So you don't think we landed on the moon.

10:41

But I don't think we did well, I don't think

10:43

we did. I think if we had walked.

10:44

On a date with him,

10:46

he'll be so offended.

10:48

But you know what, he's our only chance to do it.

10:50

Okay, if we had, if

10:53

man had walked.

10:54

On the moon, you think the photos were faked? I

10:56

don't know. I haven't thought about it that much. I

10:58

reckon you have.

11:01

I know you're not that.

11:02

Interested in it, because I'm not a guy.

11:04

The same way I'm not that interested in the Nazis.

11:07

Men love that ship World War

11:10

even if they claim to be hate watching it.

11:12

They're obsessed. I know that's true. We're

11:14

seeing it on this podcast before World War

11:17

II. Straight men, is what true crime podcast

11:19

are to women. Thank

11:22

you. Some of the

11:24

things we say don't make the podcast feed,

11:26

by the way, or sense. Hey,

11:29

why were we talking about that? Because then also

11:32

I was laughing at you in the Maxi. Oh

11:35

yeah,

11:38

let's just say the man. Okay.

11:43

And yet in a Maxi taxi

11:46

they can't stop your suitcase.

11:49

Rolling around like a p in a

11:51

jar.

11:53

And I'm not on board that

11:55

thing was around.

11:57

You've got to you've got to hug your suitcase,

12:00

mill.

12:01

Stay every corner clutched between

12:03

my knees, and so I'm doing pelvic

12:06

floor exercises with a rimowa,

12:08

no, sir.

12:09

And this is what I was laughing at and the comfort of

12:11

my uber anyway, it was disgusting.

12:13

And then when we got to the airport, we

12:15

were just so devastated. I

12:17

won't say what airline we were flying, but it was devastating.

12:20

And we

12:23

didn't have lounge access for this loud

12:25

so we were not happy. How terrible

12:28

we had to what for fifteen minutes not

12:30

be in a different seat.

12:32

But then another comedian

12:34

friend, Hickey, was at that at the airport

12:38

lounge.

12:38

You already she got both

12:40

of us in. I went inside.

12:42

It was early in the morning, not that early tens

12:45

early for us.

12:47

We're still not over it. It was so tired and I

12:49

had to comfort myself immediately.

12:51

And you've got the worst plate of

12:54

food I have ever seen anyone get

12:56

in the history of Earth since we've been to the

12:58

moon. You came back with

13:01

a pancake, two pancakes

13:04

from the pancake machine. One of the greatest

13:06

inventions either. Sure that pancakes

13:10

with sausages, but then you put four

13:12

four sages, but then you put honey

13:16

on the sausages. Thank

13:19

you. It was discussed

13:23

American. That's an American breakfast discussed.

13:26

Actually Canadian breakfast, you know, maple

13:28

syrup, pancakes, bacon.

13:31

Thanks, it wasn't good, it was too early.

13:33

Come on, we've got topics this. We have worst

13:36

people in the world. Worst people in the world. I wrote, it's

13:38

your topic. I don't have anyone. You said I

13:40

want to speak about. You

13:43

said, oh, you know what I want to do. I want to speak

13:45

about the worst people in the world. So here

13:47

we go.

13:48

Oh yeah, yeah,

13:50

okay, So I was just I.

13:54

Was reminded of the spine.

13:56

I can't remember my actually because

13:59

yeah, you know, when you're going I'm

14:01

going to say overseas and you say

14:03

to a friend and I'm going heavy

14:05

hitters or whatever. If you go to

14:07

Cambodia and someone asked you to bring

14:10

something back, it's likely not to be beneficial

14:12

to you and your smooth passage

14:14

through customs. But if you're going to America

14:16

or the UK, you say to people, do you want

14:18

me to bring you something back?

14:19

Why do you say that that you can't get

14:22

it? Okay? American melotone in.

14:24

For instance, Oh okay, yeah,

14:26

ten milgrams buy at

14:28

any drug store and

14:31

whereas in Australia you have to go

14:33

to the doctor. Thank

14:37

you cook a sound effect, They'll give you

14:39

two milligrams on a prescription.

14:42

Mate, how does skip? Yeah? Why

14:45

do they want us awake?

14:46

Exactly exactly why

14:48

I do that?

14:49

Anyway? So I

14:52

foolishly.

14:55

Went to America and

14:57

I said to my mother, who is originally

14:59

American, do you want me to bring

15:01

you something back? I thought she

15:03

might say, are some

15:06

junior mints, not knowing that you can get them

15:08

in them? Yeah?

15:08

Whatever? You know what? My mother said, No,

15:12

no, I'm

15:14

all in. She said, this is

15:17

Sarah and Langrel.

15:18

She said, Oh, you know what, I'd really

15:21

like some black

15:23

swede gloves, wrist

15:27

length with a skull of edge.

15:32

Can you get them in Australia?

15:35

Person in the

15:38

world stump online, just

15:40

no, she doesn't have the concept of that. And

15:43

you know what I did, like a fool, I

15:45

spent a lot of my time at Nordstroms

15:48

looking for black swede gloves. They didn't

15:50

have them. They didn't have them.

15:52

Also, was in La do people still

15:54

get curtons of Siggi's for people on the

15:56

way back? Is that a thing from duty Free?

15:58

You seem like a real car person.

16:01

Do you know what You've got? Curtains of sea,

16:04

You've got a draw, you've got a little pantry

16:06

at home, No cagle

16:09

you O. I am giggling, and I'll tell you what. Because

16:11

you've got God love you. You're such a clean

16:13

skin.

16:14

You've not been able to bring a carton of cigarettes

16:16

into this nanny state

16:18

country.

16:20

Off cooked, can't even fire off the cookers.

16:22

You know what?

16:23

You can go to any sly tobacco

16:26

shop, give them fifteen bucks.

16:28

They'll give you a packet ssie cigarettes. Right,

16:31

you go into a legitimate.

16:34

Retailer of tobacco products,

16:36

which will soon be a pharmacy by the way, selling

16:38

vapes.

16:39

Cook a cook on

16:42

it'll cost you sixty by the way. Kate's had

16:44

three coffees in an hour and.

16:47

As a scoop of Messina ice cream

16:50

in one of them.

16:50

Make my own applegada and flying.

16:54

Just try and stop me. I could reach

16:56

the moon. You're gonna you're going to beat your future

16:59

husband? Demand us? What was that

17:01

telling you the worst people in the world. That's

17:04

it.

17:08

I'll tell you what else. I want another one?

17:11

Okay, it was you yesterday.

17:15

Why are they all me? You

17:22

got in I don't

17:24

like it. I like it

17:26

at a hotel lift and there's eighty fours

17:29

and everyone needs their own card to get to

17:31

their own floor. And you knew that going into the lift,

17:34

but for some reason you still get in the lift without

17:36

getting your card ready. And we're getting

17:38

cards out and we're pressing them and pressing

17:40

our buttons, and you say, even out loud, to your

17:43

card won't go to my level, So

17:45

get your card out. But

17:47

you get your card out, You get

17:49

your card out, and

17:52

then I said you need your card to go to your level.

17:54

And then you turn and said, you're so bossy.

17:57

I did so.

18:00

And you know what he said, I'm the group leader.

18:04

Okay, that's a lie. Do you know how well

18:06

said that? All said that a

18:08

little man with a mustache.

18:11

In nineteen thirty six, he

18:14

was the group leader and he was

18:16

on the wrong side of history.

18:21

Are you getting play.

18:23

Some music a Lisa the buck up music?

18:26

And applause? And

18:29

why did you name it? I

18:33

wish to talk about shadow labor, one

18:35

of our favorite top.

18:36

Okay explained to people who

18:39

might not be familiar with the concept.

18:40

Of shadow labor.

18:41

Do so, what's happened in this world?

18:44

In case you know, I'm awake

18:48

some people because I still.

18:49

Don't know why she's awake because the doctor won't give it

18:51

a meltonium. But I'm

18:53

awake.

18:53

Once you're awake to some shit, it's terrible

18:56

because then you see it everywhere. And one of those things

18:58

is shadow labor. Shadow labor is the concept

19:01

that corporations, mainly government

19:03

bureaucrats HR departments

19:06

making people doche that used

19:08

to be someone else's job to do. Right,

19:10

So when you go to the supermarket and they make you

19:13

scan your own groceries, shadow

19:15

labor. When you have to check in yourself

19:17

fill forms online to come to this conference,

19:20

fill in a form one line. No, here's an idea.

19:22

One of the seventeen hundred staff.

19:24

You can fill it out before me. Right,

19:27

So that's shadow labor. We've hit a nerve there

19:29

if someone try to sign applause

19:31

break on that.

19:33

I But once you

19:35

see it, you can't

19:37

unsee it.

19:38

As the amount of messages we get on the insta

19:40

of people sending us shadow labor, now it's pretty

19:43

great. It's everywhere you look. And I have a fresh

19:45

one for you, Kate.

19:45

And of course it's basically admin

19:48

that we were all being forced to do, and it takes

19:50

in some cases, I'm going to say me

19:53

an hour a day. Probably

19:55

it's only a two minute job because I don't know

19:57

how to do it.

19:58

But that's not the point. You

20:00

should be able to just press the lift button

20:03

no matter what, without swiping a car.

20:06

But then I want to deny you access

20:08

to my floor.

20:10

Also a euphemism,

20:13

not necessary, because apparently he's got no interest

20:16

in stopping at my floor.

20:18

Pau. I

20:22

went to the cinema last week? Is

20:24

that a ephan? I saw

20:26

a movie big screen? Was

20:28

it a Doocy? No movie movie?

20:31

And a message came on the screen that said,

20:33

at the conclusion of the movie, please

20:36

take your rubbish to the bins

20:38

and your empty glasses back to the bar.

20:40

And I was like, excuse

20:43

me, where is the fifteen

20:46

year old pimply nerved first

20:48

job I've ever had dropped off by mom an

20:51

hour ago for their four hours? I can

20:53

rip tickets? Why they can? Children?

20:56

Why an't your kids doing that? Why aren't they? They

20:59

didn't? So, by the way, don't buy movie

21:01

tickets. This is a community announcement.

21:04

No one checks a cinema.

21:07

You just put your chin up and walk confidently.

21:10

We're just strolled on end.

21:11

As they suggest, when you're sightseeing in

21:13

New York City, walk with purpose.

21:17

Nobody stops someone walking with purpose.

21:19

Why would you be stopped in New York What?

21:21

No, that means that you won't be you won't

21:23

be bailed up by a sailor.

21:26

You walk with purpose. I'm chandering

21:28

around.

21:28

No, you know what they do because

21:30

a girlfriend of mine got caught, so they've

21:33

hired one person got caught.

21:35

Not mad, No, you know, I don't

21:37

get caught. I don't get caught, don't

21:41

not.

21:41

Unless there's you know, snitches

21:43

get stitches.

21:44

Anyway, so they've seen

21:47

someone around to open the cinema doors.

21:49

Have you noticed did you notice someone opening the door? Halfway

21:51

through? They our head, They do

21:53

a heap count while people are

21:55

sitting in the cinema.

21:57

But then what are they going to do. That's a good point

22:00

because.

22:00

What they can't go in to get the

22:02

interlopower because they don't know who

22:04

the interloper.

22:06

There's a floor in the system. Yeah, you're right, So

22:08

yeah it was nothing, but Open

22:10

Doors paid out twenty

22:12

five dollars for the ticket. Anyway, So

22:14

during the movie that was the end of the Shadow labor by

22:16

the way, I'm moving on now. I dropped

22:19

what Oh okay, I

22:22

dropped my phone down the little crevy bite

22:25

bit. I remember how we said the other day that the

22:27

tightest place in the world.

22:29

Fingers inaccessible in the car

22:32

in the southwest corner of Tasmania

22:35

inaccessible seat.

22:38

And if you drive unbearable and conceivably

22:40

impregnable and.

22:41

It hurts and you're pushing your fingers down and

22:43

they get stuck. Yeah, cinema seats way

22:45

worse.

22:46

And also, you know what, you don't

22:48

know what you're going to find.

22:50

I know, really, you put

22:52

it off my phone and I enough to

22:54

go anywhere because it's just a movie and I'm just

22:56

sitting. You've got to get and enjoy the rest of

22:58

the movie.

22:59

You're too distracted on And then at

23:01

what point in.

23:02

Like ten minutes in and then I got

23:05

on the ground and laid down, God

23:07

for gram laid down fully, asked

23:09

for Cody's phone and put it during

23:12

the movie find my phone. There was no one

23:14

in our row to try and find where my phone

23:16

went. And I couldn't find it and cracked it

23:18

to get up. To

23:20

get up.

23:21

You know what, you are the worst

23:24

people in the world. Well,

23:28

you got out your torch light on your phone

23:30

and shot it in the middle of.

23:32

The cinema was down and I was hiding.

23:33

No, you think it was Dan.

23:35

I was hiding it underneath. I don't know if you know how

23:37

light works.

23:39

But if we go back to your favorite era

23:41

is World War two or

23:44

as you would say, world War Okay,

23:48

do you know when people were outside

23:50

and they were going to light they couldn't even light a

23:52

cigarette because the bombers

23:54

flying overseas would overhead,

23:56

would see the light from a flame.

23:59

You watched the.

24:00

Documentary lately

24:05

front of Mine, but it

24:07

was only if

24:09

you were a little round spectacles.

24:11

I've never realized it before and

24:14

painted. What November never encouraged

24:17

is that my.

24:17

Vember is always like we you'll

24:21

tell me I will saved one.

24:24

Let's call it the Charlie Chaplain. If

24:26

you had little round glasses and the Charlie

24:29

Chaplain indistinguishable.

24:33

Don't you think so? I dropped my phone

24:36

and I couldn't find it. Story gets

24:38

even worse. Okay, he was

24:40

so Codie's angry. He was still on the floor. I got

24:42

on the seat and I was so uncomfortable, had

24:44

anxiety even though, did you get it?

24:47

Can you let me finish? I'm

24:50

like banking Switzerland two percent interest.

24:53

I just want to I just I

24:55

just need to talk about Hilary again. I

24:58

just need to know there's a happy end. There's

25:01

a phone in front of me on the tables, obviously.

25:03

But I then about twenty minutes later forgot,

25:05

which is good. But then I got bad because

25:08

you get very distracted. Yeah, and then

25:10

I reclined my seat crunch

25:14

on. No,

25:17

I don't know back the gold

25:19

Clan. No, there's a new cinema

25:22

for the Melbourne listeners in Cobourg that've

25:24

transformed the Penridge the

25:26

Pentridge Jason into

25:28

a cinema with reclining seats. It's

25:31

just phenrmal And you don't

25:36

even have to bag walk straight in the.

25:39

Irony of you going there to commit a crime

25:42

in what was a former penitent.

25:43

Watching the Trump movie. It's all connected,

25:46

right, and so yeah, yeah, sure, And

25:49

then I heard the crunch. I was back on the floor.

25:52

It was a shattered glass. Shattered glass.

25:55

Did Cody still get angry? No,

25:58

he was now on my sympathetic I mean he if

26:00

anything's going to bring people together, it's

26:02

yeah, for someone who yeh, screen is now

26:04

cracked so deep that you think it's all that's

26:06

a big one. That's like a proper replacement. Max

26:08

Store appointment break. There's two types of brakes.

26:11

There's the little shitty shop

26:13

on the side of the street that you go to correct

26:16

or there's an appointment. Yeah, there was an

26:18

appointment the Apple store. This is an

26:21

Apple store. There was another

26:23

text door, but it was an appointment booking and

26:27

they took it from my hands the next morning.

26:30

What was his vibe? Tell me it was a guy.

26:32

You'll get this vibe straight away about this conference.

26:34

I was so I

26:36

was so nervous about what was happening that

26:38

I got there before it opened.

26:41

So it opened at eight point thirty. I

26:43

was there at eight twenty eight and he was out

26:45

in the front having a ciggi.

26:46

Oh, and I said, and also you

26:48

couldn't tell me I'm.

26:49

Opening up in a minute. And then I said,

26:51

oh, well, this is your first customer.

26:54

And then with a ciggi in his mouth, he was like,

26:56

oh this is do you know what? But

26:58

that gives me confidence the city yet.

27:02

Yeah, man with the sick

27:04

in his math, Okay, yeah, sure, I.

27:06

Just think that's that's someone who's very

27:08

confident that they don't even have to use

27:10

their hands to control

27:12

the cigarette, you know that old trading thing stick

27:16

and when they do rollies literally hanging

27:19

off their.

27:19

Lips sore and something. I

27:23

love that.

27:24

I actually think that's really hot and old school

27:26

Australia hot, even though I believe

27:28

he was probably a new school The.

27:30

Night before, the screen was so broken

27:33

that every time, am I right? I

27:35

actually didn't hear what you said? He moved on again.

27:39

He hasn't taken his medice and

27:41

his eyes dart around.

27:42

You know, does

27:47

I tell you about the guy.

27:48

Who's fixing your phone with the CI in his math?

27:51

Yeah? Two minutes to open it? Oh yeah, thanks.

27:53

Then he took the phone and he said, this is

27:55

this is a two day like he's going to need all

27:58

week and you had to like take got the

28:00

proper screen, not the protector. But hang on,

28:02

I don't know, don't question. Yes, I didn't

28:04

ask.

28:05

When they have your advice

28:09

for a number of days?

28:11

Yeah?

28:12

Are they working on it the whole time?

28:14

Yeah? I don't think that's really weird because

28:17

to just link it.

28:19

Out when you go to pick it up and it's one hundred and eighty

28:21

dollars. That is not two or

28:23

three days worth of labor.

28:25

Is it is? It's cooker?

28:28

Like, what are they? Why are they doing that?

28:30

That means they have your device for so

28:32

long fixing it. So it

28:38

was the longest thirty two hours

28:40

of my life. Have you not had a phone for thirty

28:42

two hours in the last twenty years? I

28:45

had full blown anxiety. I was pacing

28:47

the house.

28:48

I was just like, how many times did you reach for

28:50

it?

28:50

At one point I grabbed a glasses case

28:54

out of just thinking it was my phone, Like I grabbed

28:56

a glasses case to scroll. It was a

28:58

glass's case because

29:00

my body is so used to just grabbing it to scroll.

29:03

Yeah, how often? A lot?

29:05

Only the ones I know? But I mean, how

29:07

did you get the urge? Oh? Yeah, a lot. It was the

29:09

worst thing ever. Anyway, I've never really understood why people

29:12

get so upset about missing kids, But now I get

29:14

it.

29:14

So my

29:21

mother in law's an amazing woman.

29:24

Anyway. She drops

29:26

little she drops little kernels

29:28

that you can either pick up

29:30

or not. She's not one of those you know your

29:32

buckhead. Does she listen? Yeah?

29:34

She loves it, not as much as her

29:36

sister love it Robin, Hello,

29:38

Nana Rob because Peter's

29:41

mum is Marie Nana Bree and her

29:43

sister is Nana Rob. And they

29:46

refer to affectionately in the

29:48

family as the lesbians because they both have buzz

29:50

cuts and they go traveling together with backpacks.

29:53

It's just it's just a family

29:55

joke. Anyway, late

29:57

in life they're called in

30:00

my community lat in life lesbians.

30:02

Yeah, what are they called for? Short lills? No

30:05

you said that, No, I said late in life. But

30:07

it's got to be an acronym that I

30:09

keep telling my people how to speak. Anyway,

30:18

She said

30:20

to me, I'm the com bank. Yeah,

30:23

I'm the combank. I'm the arbiter of

30:25

what you may say and what you may not say.

30:27

HR is getting uncomfortable again to move on about

30:31

that. Look at it.

30:32

They seem to be enjoying themselves. Oh

30:35

no, they don't want to be committed to tape.

30:37

You don't want to say what company your HR four

30:40

it's not. It's your own

30:42

company. So the company's just

30:46

without mentioning a name. What is the

30:48

juiciest best HR thing

30:50

you've ever had to deal with? Go on, we

30:53

were just talking about this earlier. Yes, the side if

30:56

you asked, that's what give us short

30:59

one? Yes, yeah, just say it. A

31:01

few wines at lunch as well, so we're not see.

31:04

I think HR takes a dim view of that.

31:10

You know what, one of you is going to have to dob the others

31:12

in to yourself.

31:16

We've got lots of stories, so we're happy to stay back

31:18

after. We'll keep this one

31:20

short, all right. So

31:24

sim was in a role and someone

31:26

came up to her and said, hey, are you the new kid? You're

31:28

hot. He goes, what do you do? She goes, I'm your HR

31:31

manager. Oh my goodness.

31:33

What happened to him? Is gone? Is he? Now?

31:36

He got promoted? That's

31:40

what we were.

31:41

Can I just say, And it's a bit old

31:44

school, but you've got to leverage whatever

31:46

you've got.

31:46

If he thought you were hot, you should have got

31:48

the promotion about

31:54

daylight.

31:55

So Marie Lewis said to me once, just sim

31:57

passing, she said,

31:59

I think And she's not at all a cooker, by

32:01

the way, She's totally They are so vaccinated

32:05

my husband's family, it's.

32:07

Like not even serious and thrilled. No,

32:09

No, I'm happy for them if they if they want.

32:11

To alter their gene technology

32:13

good on them anyway.

32:16

It does anyway, So they're

32:18

very like a feeling. This is our first I'm

32:21

doing a live podcast of this festival. So

32:24

why is it? I don't know.

32:26

Am I had a step with

32:30

mainstream society? I don't

32:32

know anyway, So

32:35

I'm just establishing her credentials,

32:37

right. Anyway, she

32:39

said, you know, I've often thought

32:42

that Daylight Savings is a trick

32:45

to make people work longer, and

32:47

I went, what, okay,

32:49

So when she said that, and at the time, I

32:52

know this is all well it really

32:55

so now I can't unsee it. So,

32:58

you know, during Daylight Savings, Hughesy

33:00

and I were doing soon

33:02

after she said that to me, we were doing drive I

33:05

think on kiss right, and

33:07

I noticed that in before

33:09

Daylight Savings kicked in, and so we'd get off

33:11

there at six, the office totally

33:13

empty. As soon as October

33:16

came in Daylight Savings started, you'd

33:18

leave.

33:18

The studio at six and there was still

33:21

there.

33:21

We all were the

33:23

cogs of capitalism. Send

33:29

send bese outside.

33:31

The sun was still high in the

33:34

sky.

33:34

And you know what that message is? What you well

33:37

keep fucking You've

33:39

done it anyway, cracked the coat.

33:42

Just too, saying that little thing to me. Now I

33:44

see it all the time.

33:45

Yeah, that's way better. What I was going to say is, what

33:47

are you going to say? Mine's

33:50

just my dog's waking me up an hour earlier now to eat,

33:52

and it's annoying me the

33:55

same.

33:55

And you're sympathetic towards children, especially

33:58

since she dropped yours down the side of the sin them

34:00

a chair and cracked.

34:01

It that I did ask you, is

34:03

it a nightmare when you have kids? Young kids?

34:05

Daylight savings when they change?

34:08

Right? But you know we always had.

34:10

Oh, you don't even want to hear this is for a parenting

34:12

podcast, which, by the way, don't advocate

34:14

that anybody listened to.

34:17

Really.

34:17

I mean, it's just you've got to work some stuff out

34:20

for yourself, don't you

34:22

know? It's all otherwise

34:24

people they were going to tell

34:26

therapy thirty years the.

34:31

Bup? Why wouldn't you?

34:32

Because our money back guarantee on this pod

34:34

for those who are.

34:35

Not aware, you should have at the start, I

34:38

know, but I forgot. And

34:40

people who haven't played

34:42

it till the end will.

34:43

Miss this, so

34:46

they'll be like, one's a point of that

34:48

pod.

34:48

They'll miss this? Is there a point. The point

34:51

is, oh, there's a point that.

34:52

You will leave feeling better

34:55

than you began, and that is our money

34:57

back guarantee. And in that regard, it

35:00

is not true crime

35:04

because the world is full of people.

35:07

It's mainly women, isn't it just shaving

35:09

it into our minds, shaving it in,

35:11

shaving it in, and then the next day go, yeah,

35:14

there's way too much violence in the world,

35:17

right, And that's where it comes from.

35:19

Whereas the buck up is nothing but low

35:22

prices.

35:24

High lime and a lot of

35:26

Hitler mentions. Okay, will

35:28

you please bringing it up? Complaining

35:31

Hitler, I know when you're gonna ask me. I

35:34

just want you. We've already got to have low deck

35:36

theme party. You

35:38

want me to have a career in this country.

35:41

We could say that you're a my

35:43

artist if perhaps you do the full out,

35:45

but do it with striped.

35:47

It's

35:50

a text from

35:53

text from mom, started many weeks ago

35:55

when we were just reading each other. Text

35:58

from our mother many weeks go

36:00

the let's do first the greatest of all

36:03

time, then we'll do one from a buckhead sent in

36:05

It is my favorite of all time from my mother

36:07

Lynn. Her text message is always a little

36:09

bit confusing, and things aren't really

36:11

what the words are mixed up, but I work it

36:13

out eventually, So sometimes you

36:16

don't. Sometimes work up in the air.

36:17

Sometimes it's it's like

36:20

the southwest corner of Sometimes

36:22

it's impenetrable.

36:25

She was trying to tell me once to watch

36:27

a new show that she was enjoying called

36:30

Dope Sick on

36:32

Michael Eaton on Disney plus the

36:35

Streamer. So this

36:37

is the text message I got off of randomly one night

36:39

high Dope Sick Disneyland. Took

36:48

me an hour, but I got it. I

36:50

just sit down with red strings and glasses

36:53

and I figured it out in shape

36:55

with the glasses. And

36:57

since then we get many text from moms from

37:00

our buckheads, and we love them. So this is a fresh one.

37:02

This is from buckhead Nicholas. You've got to do an Irish

37:04

accent. You can, yeah,

37:07

but you do, actually said, but

37:10

her Irish mother sent her that text right,

37:13

just randomly.

37:15

Something about the random randomness

37:18

of mother's texts. Text from moms,

37:20

which I think I'm also guilty

37:23

of. Now I can't wait to do

37:25

it to my four children. This

37:28

was Nicholas's mum. I

37:31

wish for It's made you lose wheat.

37:34

I've been pumping.

37:35

Them out all day. Two

37:37

laughing face emojis Nicholas

37:41

37:46
