Speaker 3: That's the thing though, you just don't think. No, this

19
00:00:57,961 --> 00:01:00,801

Speaker 2: scared of much, right, So she will pick up spiders,

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,601
Speaker 2: she will kill ants. I'm allergic to green ants, as

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,241
Speaker 2: we know. She just squashes them with their finger. I'm like, oh,

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: whether you're allergic or not.

30
00:01:42,761 --> 00:01:43,761

Speaker 2: FaZe her. If she saw a snake like nothing like that.

34
00:01:49,721 --> 00:01:51,561
Speaker 2: She will swim in the ocean. Doesn't even think about

35
00:01:51,601 --> 00:01:56,121
Speaker 2: sharks like that. Stuff doesn't bother her at all. There's

36
00:01:56,121 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: one thing that she has always hated and still hates

37
00:01:59,201 --> 00:02:04,961
Speaker 2: to this day, and that's a gecko. She absolutely hates gecko.

38
00:02:05,161 --> 00:02:07,601
Speaker 1: Who's geckos? I see through a lizard.

39
00:02:08,041 --> 00:02:09,001

Speaker 1: anything to do with you.

42
00:02:14,441 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 2: They're harmless unless you eat them.

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,161
Speaker 1: You're eating geko.

44
00:02:17,281 --> 00:02:19,961
Speaker 2: No, No, this is an actual story. This actually happened.

45
00:02:20,041 --> 00:02:23,601
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was definitely in Australia. Yeah, there

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,601
Speaker 2: was a guy so we're going off talking, but there

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,881
Speaker 2: was a guy who they had like a kid's birthday

48
00:02:29,881 --> 00:02:32,041
Speaker 2: party or something, and the kids were like messing around,

49
00:02:32,081 --> 00:02:34,881
Speaker 2: like daring each other to eat a gecko for whatever reason,

50
00:02:34,881 --> 00:02:39,161
Speaker 2: they were kids, And for some unknown reason, the dad

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,801
Speaker 2: stepped in and went a ate the gecko. He died

52
00:02:44,641 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: from what he died, No, because they're so full of disease.

53
00:02:50,201 --> 00:02:54,561
Speaker 3: He died, well, he took a hit for the kids. Luckily,

54
00:02:55,761 --> 00:02:58,881
Speaker 3: I want to talk about that particular birthday party. If

55
00:02:58,921 --> 00:03:01,161

00:04:39,961 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: How long has it been in there?

88
00:04:42,121 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: And I've actually been able to catch it, truthfully catch

89
00:04:46,121 --> 00:04:48,361
Speaker 2: it and I've got it in my hands, and I'm like,

90
00:04:48,361 --> 00:04:50,241
Speaker 2: I've gone over to it. And because I'm telling the

91
00:04:50,281 --> 00:04:53,361
Speaker 2: truth this time, I'm like, look, have a look in here, Geko,

92
00:04:53,601 --> 00:04:54,361
Speaker 2: you can see it.

93
00:04:54,401 --> 00:04:55,001
Speaker 1: I'm going to go and.

94
00:04:55,041 --> 00:04:58,401
Speaker 2: Let it outside. I've gone and let it outside, and

95
00:04:58,401 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: we're all good apart from she's thinking.

96
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Now.

97
00:05:00,721 --> 00:05:04,441
Speaker 2: She's thinking and thinking and it's going over and ticking

98
00:05:04,481 --> 00:05:07,601
Speaker 2: over and mind and she's turned to me and she's gone,

99
00:05:08,121 --> 00:05:11,481
Speaker 2: you didn't catch it the other day, did you? I

100
00:05:11,521 --> 00:05:16,281
Speaker 2: think you pretended to get it and then you told

101
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,161
Speaker 2: me you'd got it. You went downstairs, you let it

102
00:05:20,201 --> 00:05:22,481
Speaker 2: out in the garden. But there was nothing there to

103
00:05:22,561 --> 00:05:24,841
Speaker 2: let out, and you left it in my room and

104
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,481
Speaker 2: you didn't tell me, and then it ended up in

105
00:05:26,521 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: my bed. I was like, that's exactly what happened.

106
00:05:32,961 --> 00:05:34,561
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened.

107
00:05:34,641 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, because I wanted you to go to bed.

108
00:05:37,801 --> 00:05:39,721
Speaker 3: You've got nothing, You've got nothing to come back on.

109
00:05:39,761 --> 00:05:41,521
Speaker 3: It's not like you're saying no, I didn't do it.

110
00:05:41,681 --> 00:05:44,601
Speaker 2: No, You're never gonna believe me ever again. And she

111
00:05:44,721 --> 00:05:46,801
Speaker 2: even said to me, she said, I asked you to

112
00:05:46,841 --> 00:05:48,761
Speaker 2: swear on your life. And I was like, yeah, but

113
00:05:48,961 --> 00:05:51,761
Speaker 2: swearing on your life, it's horrible, like I do that. No,

114
00:05:51,961 --> 00:05:52,921
Speaker 2: I'm telling the truth.

115
00:05:53,081 --> 00:05:56,001
Speaker 3: I'm telling the truth now like you saw it. It

116
00:05:56,041 --> 00:05:58,161
Speaker 3: was there, But I'm not swearing on anyone's life.

117
00:05:58,481 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: It's bad. And I didn't swear on anyone's life the

118
00:06:00,641 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: other night. So that's your fault. That's on you. That

119
00:06:04,521 --> 00:06:10,201
Speaker 1: was your story. You heard that, not me. Oh my gosh, that.

120
00:06:10,201 --> 00:06:13,961
Speaker 3: Is so good, because I genuinely just to wrap up

121
00:06:14,121 --> 00:06:16,641
Speaker 3: in Africa, Gracie literally said to me.

122
00:06:16,721 --> 00:06:18,721
Speaker 1: Mam, there's Geko on my bed. Mom, and I.

123
00:06:18,681 --> 00:06:21,241
Speaker 3: Had again the face through the net. Momm I just

124
00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:23,281
Speaker 3: had to get home in bed the geko was on

125
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,721
Speaker 3: my leg. I was like thinking in my head, is

126
00:06:25,761 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: it a gecko? Like, why would a gecko climb underneath

127
00:06:29,001 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: the sheet, underneath.

128
00:06:29,961 --> 00:06:31,601
Speaker 1: The douvet run over your legs.

129
00:06:31,681 --> 00:06:34,041
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had to then prove a point because it

130
00:06:34,121 --> 00:06:36,241
Speaker 3: was like three o'clock in the morning, it was on

131
00:06:36,281 --> 00:06:36,881
Speaker 3: the second night.

132
00:06:36,921 --> 00:06:39,361
Speaker 1: We'd only been there two nights. And then I literally

133
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: pulled it back in. There was his baby geko, and

134
00:06:41,361 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: I was like, thank god it wasn't a scorpion or something.

135
00:06:44,481 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Do you know what I reckon because I have never

136
00:06:46,521 --> 00:06:48,801
Speaker 2: in my life ever I like geckos, and I have

137
00:06:49,001 --> 00:06:51,121
Speaker 2: never had a gecko in my bed ever in my life,

138
00:06:51,361 --> 00:06:54,081
Speaker 2: nor have I known anyone to have a geko yeah

139
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:57,001
Speaker 2: in there, But I reckon. They can tell that she

140
00:06:57,081 --> 00:06:58,801
Speaker 2: didn't like them. You don't know how they say, like

141
00:06:58,961 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: horses can smell your fear, and dogs.

142
00:07:02,841 --> 00:07:04,721
Speaker 1: And some cats don't like people.

143
00:07:05,401 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, cats like people that don't like them. So the people,

144
00:07:08,721 --> 00:07:10,401
Speaker 3: you know, people that walk in and go, oh my sorry,

145
00:07:10,481 --> 00:07:13,401
Speaker 3: I don't do cats, and you're like okay, yeah, and

146
00:07:13,441 --> 00:07:17,401
Speaker 3: then they just like gravitate to that person like magnetic force.

00:07:17,721 --> 00:07:21,241
Speaker 2: Yeah, well my cat Nala, you know, she doesn't like anyone.
