Speaker 1: Hi, cats, how are you today? Hope you were? Well,
Speaker 1: it's Malam manti yeay.
Speaker 2: Speaking of cats, are you off remember last year?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, even the year before you're talking about getting a cat.
Speaker 1: That was so weird that stage I went through. I wanted,
Speaker 1: what are the rag dolls? I was looking at ragged
Speaker 1: or because I just thought it's a good pet for
Speaker 1: the kids. And then I went and looked at a
Speaker 1: friends who had one, and I didn't even want to
Speaker 1: touch it. I was like, you're not into anything with
Speaker 1: hair on it like that. It's something that's got its
Speaker 1: whole body coven in hair is just not an interest
Speaker 1: of mine.
Speaker 2: I don't like that. And then when you touch them
Speaker 2: and you can feel their bones, something about that I
Speaker 2: don't like. Like a cat, you know, you pat it
Speaker 2: and you can feel every you can feel everything.
Speaker 1: Online people who love their cats and dogs are I
Speaker 1: just I've said this a million times. I'm so envious
Speaker 1: because that love is so intense and it's just so
Speaker 1: recipicted and it's just a beautiful thing. I just don't
Speaker 1: have an ounce of it in my body. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't want harm done to them, obviously, but I
Speaker 1: do people be like you love my dog. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I really won't, like, I won't want to touch it. Yes,
Speaker 1: everyone is different. Is your dog still getting its period? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Have you not made a spade.
Speaker 2: Because it's like, why, because she's a bulldog. Anytime she'd
Speaker 2: have to go under is an issue because of the
Speaker 2: breathing stuff, right, So it's like, well, it's not that
Speaker 2: big a deal.
Speaker 1: So you just have to wipe off a bit of
Speaker 1: blood on the floor every month.
Speaker 2: No, Well, she's not really inside a heap. She's really
Speaker 2: only inside when it's really hot because it's unsafe for
Speaker 2: her to be outside. But she's an asshole. She's just
Speaker 2: a really difficult dog. She's not a dog you can
Speaker 2: really have inside a lot. She just she's We've taken
Speaker 2: her to puppy school, We've had trainers come to the house.
Speaker 1: She's just not interested in playing ball. Yeah, let's kick
Speaker 1: off with rant or Rave. We started this the other week,
Speaker 1: a new segment that Mal has made. We just come
Speaker 1: around a second time. Normally you're going, oh, this is
Speaker 1: a good segment. Let's do this regularly and at last
Speaker 1: one time. But I said, when we do this, we've
Speaker 1: actually got to have raves as well. Like something we're
Speaker 1: interested in. But you've got two rans.
Speaker 2: Now, unsurprisingly, I have two rants right. The first is
Speaker 2: I was at the chemist picking up a script and
Speaker 2: I'm you know, you're waiting for them to call your name,
Speaker 2: and I'm watching all the people before me, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: not all pharmacists, so don't be offended. If you are
Speaker 2: a pharmacist, you don't do this. They really need to
Speaker 2: learn to keep their fucking voices down when they are
Speaker 2: dishing out that medication. Yes, how uncomfortable. I'm standing there
Speaker 2: and I wasn't even that close. So have you had
Speaker 2: this before? Yes, so if your vagina is very itchy,
Speaker 2: this will help with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then this other medication very good for depression.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I do know this. I do know.
Speaker 1: I have at times encountered it to them. It's nothing,
Speaker 1: so they don't care, but it's like, I don't really
Speaker 1: want everyone to know.
Speaker 2: Ye know, I think it's something, and I think you
Speaker 2: have to have a lens and go okay, like if
Speaker 2: there's things I need to tell them about, I'll just
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, be discreeted, keet my voice down a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I know that one I have I have
Speaker 1: encountered it time.
Speaker 2: I just well, my default always as if they say
Speaker 2: if you had this medication before, I'm always like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same, even if they're not familiar with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also your doctor explains what the side effects and
Speaker 1: stuff are, so I don't need to hear it again.
Speaker 2: No, very true. So that's my first ranch. Okay, my
Speaker 2: second this is unbelievable to me. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: mention the brand because I don't want to get us sued.
Speaker 2: Instagram scrolling again and I so all this real of
Speaker 2: this girl putting like these drops in her drink and
Speaker 2: drinking it and then talking about how she maintains her
Speaker 2: tan and I'm like, oh my god, yes, it would
Speaker 2: come out with a drink that what it does is
Speaker 2: boost jamelatonin. And then I went onto their site and
Speaker 2: started scrolling through it. There's people in solariums. There's people
Speaker 2: out in the sun then showing their tan lines because
Speaker 2: tan lines have become a thing now, like a trend
Speaker 2: to show your tan lines. I got so irrationally furious
Speaker 2: because I was like, what the fuck is going on here?
Speaker 2: Number One, that should be illegal. Number two, I think
Speaker 2: solariums are illegal aren't they solariums?
Speaker 1: Hands down illegal, there's like underground selariums. God, when I
Speaker 1: was younger, I used to live in the same and
Speaker 1: put on the accelerator and come in bright red. But
Speaker 1: there's those drops or it's a nasal spray. It was
Speaker 1: on the project the other night they had a two
Speaker 1: sep oh is it yep? Okay? So I don't know
Speaker 1: what the nasal spray does, but it helps you keep
Speaker 1: it helps you tan. And I was like, fuck, this
Speaker 1: is epic, but She's like, no, it can of course
Speaker 1: increase skin cancer. You can get all of the same
Speaker 1: side effects as if you were just frying yourself in
Speaker 1: the sun. God, I want them to invent something though,
Speaker 1: that is healthy and tansy skin. I really want that
Speaker 1: so badly.
Speaker 2: I want that too, because it's annoying, so annoying.
Speaker 1: My whole week is kind of like I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: what are my legs like? Because it's always hot where
Speaker 1: I live too. I have my legs out all the time,
Speaker 1: and I will never go out if I don't have
Speaker 1: fake tan on my legs because they're they're translucent, like
Speaker 1: you can see my veins on that white but not
Speaker 1: the nice white so I'm constantly fake tanning, and it's
Speaker 1: so I'll get to go to bed. I'll be ready
Speaker 1: to go to bed, and I'm like, fuck, you have
Speaker 1: got a fake tan. You've got this on tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: I get up to my whole fake tan, get into
Speaker 1: my long sleeve Jarmi's and lay in bed and I
Speaker 1: washed it off the next morning. But it is such
Speaker 1: a pilava. It is a pilava.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but a bigger pilava is fucking skin cancer. When
Speaker 2: I'm oh, you have cancer of the liver. It began
Speaker 2: with skin cancer. Yes, those sites. I got so angry
Speaker 2: because I thought that should be illegal.
Speaker 1: I think it is. I think it's legal in America.
Speaker 1: It's not legal in Australia.
Speaker 2: This is an Australian company. Oh wow, I wish I
Speaker 2: could call him out because it really pissed me off.
Speaker 2: And again it's all young, beautiful.
Speaker 1: Girls, just impressionable people.
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, then all other young girls and
Speaker 2: boys are watching this. I want to be trendy, I
Speaker 2: want to have the tan. I'll try this, and they're
Speaker 2: not go fucking lay in the sun like us idiots did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 1: I used to love laying in the sun, though, But
Speaker 1: I will never go in the sun now. I'm so scared,
Speaker 1: like to the point that I'm probably so vitamin D
Speaker 1: deficient because I'm just terrified of it. My nanpast of
Speaker 1: skin cancer. She got like a really rare form of
Speaker 1: skin cancer that like not many people die from. But
Speaker 1: of course she died, but I remember so vividly as
Speaker 1: a kid. She always had this beautiful dark skin and
Speaker 1: they'd go to you know, Queensland, and spend the winters
Speaker 1: in Queensland, and she'd come back so dark, and she'd
Speaker 1: like leather oil into her and she just loved it
Speaker 1: because we didn't know then.
Speaker 2: No, that's right. And the thing that's annoying is like
Speaker 2: when people die from cancer, most of the time, it's
Speaker 2: like it's bad luck. You can't do anything about it.
Speaker 2: This is something you can actively try to prevent.
Speaker 1: It's when I think about smoking, I'm like, the odds
Speaker 1: of you getting emphysema or dying of lung cancer are
Speaker 1: so high, And I like, I've never smoked, so I
Speaker 1: get that it's coming from a non smoker. It's really
Speaker 1: easy for me to say because apparently it's harder than
Speaker 1: giving up heroin. It's so hideous to it up. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, like, what the hell My anti died of
Speaker 1: emphysema and it was a fucked death.
Speaker 2: It's horrible. Yeah, it's horrible. But I think the complication
Speaker 2: there is that it's actually an addiction. Like it's exactly
Speaker 2: you know, like okay, being brown in a way is
Speaker 2: you get addicted to it, you want to look nice whatever.
Speaker 2: This is like a fool. I would say quitting smoking
Speaker 2: is the hardest thing I've ever done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had no doubt have.
Speaker 2: It's not just the chemical thing, it's your attachment to it.
Speaker 2: Your attachment to it's a break, it's a and then
Speaker 2: like the ritual of it as well, it's a ritual.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's almost like like we were talking about with the
Speaker 2: dopamine stuff last week or the week before. It's that
Speaker 2: same thing. You're getting a hit that's making you even
Speaker 2: though it's disgusting. Yeah, it's giving you something totally.
Speaker 1: I understand. That's what Like the vaping now like is
Speaker 1: so easy to do, Like people just do it inside
Speaker 1: because it's not detected.
Speaker 2: Or I mean you shouldn't be able to do it inside.
Speaker 2: I saw someone doing it at the shop the other
Speaker 2: day and I was like, you should not be vaping
Speaker 2: in here.
Speaker 1: You're probably not. I mean on most places, you're probably not.
Speaker 1: Like on a plane, you can't vape even though it's
Speaker 1: no smoke, you know. But that's what terrifies me about
Speaker 1: the boys too, because they're so delicious vapes, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like when I've tried to grape on,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is yummy, but it's like no,
Speaker 1: Like I just am so scared of cancer. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's sitting duck with it and I am just
Speaker 1: like so many people we know are going to die
Speaker 1: of cancer, Like it's just a fact.
Speaker 2: Do you know what's really interesting? I like, sometimes I
Speaker 2: feel worried saying this stuff because I haven't really done
Speaker 2: my research, and when I try and convey something that
Speaker 2: someone else has said, I might not get it right.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm the same. The gist of what I'm
Speaker 2: going to say is that I listened Every story starts
Speaker 2: with I was listening to a podcast, but it was
Speaker 2: a podcast with my Hormones, and she was talking about
Speaker 2: how important it is at this stage of your life
Speaker 2: to eat well and you know, keep your stress down,
Speaker 2: sleep well, all those sorts of things, and she said,
Speaker 2: because things like cancer. She said, it's like an overgrowth
Speaker 2: of abnormal cells. If that happens, I think the way
Speaker 2: it should go is your body recognizes that and sort
Speaker 2: of fights it off. But if you have a really
Speaker 2: shit diet and you're highly stressed and you're not eating,
Speaker 2: and you've got high cortisol levels and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: then your body is too busy taking care of that.
Speaker 2: So then when those bad cells start to develop, it's
Speaker 2: not looking at that. It's busy dealing with the other
Speaker 2: shit I heard. And again no idea but that we
Speaker 2: all have cancer as cells. It's just whether they turn
Speaker 2: on or not. Yes, that too, Yeah, whether they're ignited
Speaker 2: into cancer or not. Anyway, fun mine.
Speaker 1: You can terrify. Sam and I are in bed the
Speaker 1: other day and think we were talking about like the
Speaker 1: kids don't learn a language at school, and we used
Speaker 1: to learn languages at school. High school I learned French,
Speaker 1: I don't remember any of it. But in primary school
Speaker 1: I learned Italian. I remember doing I did a project
Speaker 1: on Pavarotti once, but I was saying, how to celebrate
Speaker 1: learning Italian. We had a spaghetti eating competition that is
Speaker 1: how we celebate. Could that be any more stereotypical? Going
Speaker 1: guys gather into the hall to celebrate tanti a gulie week,
Speaker 1: That's all I remember with an not an l Oh,
Speaker 1: is it tantia guri? Okay, I've always sun tanti a gullia,
Speaker 1: but to celebrate and tell you it, because I'd alway
Speaker 1: have a week of it.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We would go into the hall and everyone would sit
Speaker 1: with cross legs and we'd have a spaghetti eating competition.
Speaker 2: Oh no, like just just reiterating, like that's what Italians do.
Speaker 2: They eat spaghetti.
Speaker 1: That's all they do. Fat. Yeah, the fat fucks make
Speaker 1: their spaghetti and we're gonna eat spaghetti anyway. When I
Speaker 1: was younger, I hated bolonnaise sauce, like to the point.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but my sister used to just eat
Speaker 1: the bolonnaise sauce and I'd eat the.
Speaker 2: Pasta like I was hating on it.
Speaker 1: Nothing I may, I don't know, maybe Mum put a
Speaker 1: bit of butter or something on it, but I would
Speaker 1: just take the paths of the spaghetti anyway. I remember,
Speaker 1: I was so unbelievably scared my name was going to
Speaker 1: get called out of the bowl of every week kid's name.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't like the panic. I look back
Speaker 1: now and I'm like, clearly I had hectic anxiety as
Speaker 1: a kid. Yeah, but I was like there were hundreds
Speaker 1: of names in there, and the panic that I thought
Speaker 1: I was going to get pulled out to do the
Speaker 1: spaghetti eating competition. In fact, I think I've definitely spoken
Speaker 1: about this before because somebody else reached out that went
Speaker 1: to Williamstown Primary School and said they remember the spaghetti
Speaker 1: eating competition. But I went up to the teacher, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I can't do it anyway. You
Speaker 1: had to eat the spaghetti with no fork. It was
Speaker 1: out of the bowl with your mouth. Oh, like the.
Speaker 2: Dodda is so revolting, and it was bolin a? Was
Speaker 2: it bolonaise?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh, you know what I would have been scared of.
Speaker 2: Imagine it was tinned spaghette. I've never eaten tin spaghetti before.
Speaker 1: I used to enjoy tin spaghetti. Oh it's so nasty though,
Speaker 1: Like the noodles are so soggy. It's hectic.
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine that would have been my imagine
Speaker 2: it was tinned spaghetti. It would end up. It would
Speaker 2: have ended up being like you know that scene in
Speaker 2: Stand By Me where the kids doing the pie eating competition.
Speaker 2: He just starts vomiting and then everyone starts vomiting on
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it was tin spaghetti. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: so long ago, and I can't imagine somebody making bowlineise
Speaker 1: for it, can you?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: And also spaghetti, there's something disgusting to me about like
Speaker 2: just the look of people doing those eating competitions always
Speaker 2: makes me sick shoveling that food into their mouths. But
Speaker 2: also how fucking like tone deaf. And I'm not even
Speaker 2: like a real, you know, socially conscious person or whatever,
Speaker 2: but I look at that and I'm like, there are
Speaker 2: people who can't eat, and you're being so fucking wasteful
Speaker 2: for a competition. It pisces me off, the same as
Speaker 2: when you see people at a buffet and they just
Speaker 2: pile shit on their play and then they go, oh,
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if you don't like it, go.
Speaker 1: And get more tossed out.
Speaker 2: Fuck you, that's shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I should probably think about that a bit more
Speaker 1: than I do. I don't usually I got I used
Speaker 1: to love a buffet. I used to love going to
Speaker 1: My grandparents had an apartment in Surface Paradise, and without
Speaker 1: doubt we would go and play miniature golf. And then
Speaker 1: next door was Sizzler and it was fucking cheesy bread. Oh,
Speaker 1: which of course they strategically did so you ate less
Speaker 1: at the buffet, But of course, how amazing was that
Speaker 1: cheesy bread? And then the ice cream machine? Do you
Speaker 1: also remember pizza Hat hat and all you can eat?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: I do. Oh that was so good.
Speaker 2: But again this is something I'm the same as you.
Speaker 2: I loved a buffet, loved it. But as I'm getting older,
Speaker 2: I'm getting more funny with germy stuff.
Speaker 1: I want to eat it a buffet now.
Speaker 2: You even just the tongs for people to pick stuff up.
Speaker 2: When you sicked the seventy five people that have been
Speaker 2: there before you might not have washed their hands after
Speaker 2: they went to the toilet. Might have just a guy
Speaker 2: might have just had a bat and then not.
Speaker 1: Washed his hands. That's unlikely.
Speaker 2: It's like escalators touching the thing. It's the same thing,
Speaker 2: but it's food related.
Speaker 1: Oh I know. Odie was at the park the other
Speaker 1: day and was putting his mouth on like I was
Speaker 1: swinging on the swing and he put his mouth on
Speaker 1: that like where you hold the swing, you know, the chain,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my god, not only has that
Speaker 1: had a million hands, as had kids hands there you
Speaker 1: just have to hands of all times.
Speaker 2: But that's building his immunity as well. Like it's disgusting,
Speaker 2: but it's different, Like I think kids doing it. Think
Speaker 2: of childcare centers when your kids in childcare or like
Speaker 2: kinder or whatever. And you see, my kids were actually
Speaker 2: talking about this the other day. You know, like the
Speaker 2: toilets are open, they've got those tiny little toilets behind
Speaker 2: like glass or something so they.
Speaker 1: Can all see.
Speaker 2: My kids were like, I can't believe we used to
Speaker 2: have to go in there and everyone's just shitting.
Speaker 1: All the kids were just.
Speaker 2: Sitting there, sitting and everyone can see. That would mean
Speaker 2: is that not your worst nightmab behind glass and everyone
Speaker 2: see you went to a hotel.
Speaker 1: With Mark not long ago and the toilet was behind glass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for anniversary it was frosted, like half of it frosted,
Speaker 2: the other half was not. I'm like, what kind of
Speaker 2: design is this? I like, I can't think of anything worse.
Speaker 2: And also a hotel where people are probably going to
Speaker 2: have a bit of one on one time, right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's why would you do that? There's nothing
Speaker 2: if you said the shower is whatever, Okay, I get it.
Speaker 2: But toilet. It has to see someone on the fucking toilet.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Nothing takes the sexiness away like watching
Speaker 1: somebody do a dump. A bad design. That's very bad design.
Speaker 1: I have got before we go, Just a funny little story.
Speaker 1: My hairdresser who lives down the road. Her husband was
Speaker 1: a pro surfer, this great surfa and his dad was
Speaker 1: also an incredible surfer, like he's known it all in
Speaker 1: the surfing community. And in her studio, which the back
Speaker 1: is out the back of her house, she had all
Speaker 1: these beautiful surf boards. I'm like, oh, they're you know,
Speaker 1: really nice. And she said, yeah, my father in law
Speaker 1: is a shaper, a surfboard shaper and a mad surfer.
Speaker 1: And she said he actually invented the ug boot so
Speaker 1: he would go surfing and when it was really cold,
Speaker 1: he's like this is too much, so he invented the
Speaker 1: ug boot to be able to put on the boots
Speaker 1: after he surfed. And they're called uger boots because they're
Speaker 1: so ugly. Anyway, he goes on to sell the company right,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And I was like to her, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you're kidding and she said yeah, for ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. And the kicker upsetting, he gets in the
Speaker 1: contract to three pairs of ug boots for free a year.
Speaker 1: So it rolls around to the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: He calls up America. He's like, can you send me
Speaker 1: out my ugg boots?
Speaker 2: I would never ever be able to get past that.
Speaker 1: Neither would I. She's like, our life could have so different.
Speaker 2: I would she like she would have had a live
Speaker 2: in hairdresser. Oh, she wouldn't be there.
Speaker 1: She wouldn't have been living down the road from me either.
Speaker 1: That's sure where I'm living at the moments. Like, No,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't be living there. She'd be on the beach side.
Speaker 1: In a like it just isn't it wild? It's also
Speaker 1: like my a bit of a different ballgame. But my
Speaker 1: grandparents used to own a house in Lawn, which is
Speaker 1: in Victoria along like a coastline. Really like you've got
Speaker 1: to be quite wealthy, yeah, to get a house there. Now,
Speaker 1: they had a house right on the beach, which where
Speaker 1: like if they had it now, it would be worth
Speaker 1: a squillion dollars, Like my name was always kicking herself
Speaker 1: that they sold that, Like just one decision your family
Speaker 1: could make could literally have changed your whole trajectory.
Speaker 2: God, that poor man I would be.
Speaker 1: I would be the.
Speaker 2: Most bitter, same horrible person from that. But that is
Speaker 2: also a thing that really pisces me off with people
Speaker 2: who come up with inventions or they designed something, or
Speaker 2: like a designer would designed something beautiful or whatever, and
Speaker 2: then in swoops all the like Temu and you know
Speaker 2: I love Camar, but like Camar and whatever, who just
Speaker 2: then use that idea, they copy the idea and then
Speaker 2: they do it for like five bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, And that.
Speaker 2: Poor person that's invented that loses out that pisces me off. Wow,
Speaker 2: that Paul, give her my condolences.
