I'm 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.120 Josh and I'm Sam, and today we are. 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:08.960 Occasionally funny back in. 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.400 The studio, but occasionally funny. 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:12.840 I thought you were going to say gay again and 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:13.280 trick me. 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.240 Last episode was a bit I wouldn't say a mass 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.040 but like we're above at home, different mics. 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:22.560 I barely had a voice, had a cold. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.880 Yeah, but I feel like we had some good conversations, 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.640 hopefully entertaining to those listening at home. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.480 Yeah, it was an exciting episode. 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.400 Yeah, I hard launched. 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.559 And then the episode ended a cliffhanger from me. But 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.479 before we get to that, I believe you've got some 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:39.120 back news. 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.879 Yeah. I thought we should all always just start these 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:43.720 episodes now with some back news. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.000 You're really trying to make this affic. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.960 It is a thing. It definitely is a thing. My 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:55.040 back news is actually international news as well. But okay, 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.400 it draws us back to a fight that we had 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.640 men you yeah about Taylor Swift, of course. Yeah. So 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.320 do you know what else happened on the same weekend 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:07.960 that I launched my boyfriend? 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:08.959 Was that Taylor's wedding? 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.720 Taylor's wedding, could we be any more alike. 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.520 Did you purposely hold the boyfriend announcement before that? Because 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.479 that feels convenient? 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.600 And then to add to that, Travis Taylor's husband, Yes, 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:27.399 has a segment on his podcast called New News, and 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:32.360 we have a segment called back News, Like this is 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.160 been set up for intention these things. It just happened 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.560 to be falling into. 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.080 Place getting married Madison Square Garden like cute, atucky. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.440 No cute. She did it because she has so many 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.440 famous friends, obviously being incredibly famous herself. That Madison Square 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.000 Garden has all these secret entrances and stuff that she 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:50.760 can get everyone. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:52.080 Did she tell you this personally? 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.120 Yeah? Yeah, we just got off the phone before I'm 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.000 about to be on the podcast, Taylor, can you tell me, 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.520 like why Madison Square Garden since she sat, Yeah, that 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.680 she wanted to be able to sneak everybody in and 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.520 out without any paparazzi shots. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.080 I just felt like random, like you think of wedding, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.760 Like I completely get what she did, and I imagine 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.239 she made it magical inside. Yeah, but like you'd think 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.680 we've all that money like a private island anywhere in 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:17.120 the world. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.600 I don't know, may think she wanted everybody to be 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.120 able to come. She invited like fifteen hundred people or something. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:26.240 Any back news for. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.240 Me, I still get confused. What's back news? Front news? 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.240 Certainly, but Josh and those at home you can't keep 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.520 up with this very simple segment. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.079 Is suppose because I text you something the other day, 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.680 just saying why I've been distracted all these things? And 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.519 I was like, I think this is front news and 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.040 you went, no, not front news, and I was like, okay, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.120 well I was giving you an update. 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.040 So to me, and as the person who's invented this, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.280 I feel like I get to say front news is 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.600 news that you'd commonly tell each other that really could 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.880 affect the other person. So, for instance, an example would 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.280 be like I'm going to be away for two weeks, Josh, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.720 so I can't do the podcast. That's front news. It 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.320 very much directly affects you. So generally you don't have 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.760 to like call out that or ask them on what 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.440 front news do you have for me, because it's already 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.040 being told. Back news is stuff that you wouldn't always 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.240 share with the other person, but it's interesting things going 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.200 on in your life. But the part that's important there, 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.200 it does need to be interesting so I give you 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.040 permission to ever call out my back news. If you're 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.799 like that was pretty boring, Sam, I could have gone 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.320 without finding out the information. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.720 Okay, Well, in just general news of my recent life, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.400 everything's been quite stressful and intense. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.960 Yeah, there's a lot. Yeah. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.240 People may have seen on my Maths Funny podcast, which 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.880 now has like a new podcast. There was a woman 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.000 I read about in the press called Katie Walker, who 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.960 the press said was a mass producer. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:46.600 She went missing. 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.280 I realized I never saw a follow up article, so 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.440 I just looked into it. Turns out not only did 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.240 the press get her wrong, she never worked on that show, 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.800 but she is also very much still missing. I reached 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.440 out to a family saying, hey, like, what's the goal. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.760 Can I do some posts because I have like a 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.240 following in the area to help get away, And as 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.560 they were like please, please please. The more I spoke 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.640 to them, the more twists and turns, and just like 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.200 it's become like a whole pod series speaking to her 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.680 friends and family as they tell this woman's story, And like, 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.240 it feels weird to do that because I do not 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.360 like true crime. I don't consume it, watch it, listen 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.880 to it. It's just not my thing. But this almost 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.400 feels like that. And it's like speaking to the family 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:29.600 who want as much public support this is. It's like 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.640 you can only get the public by giving them the 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.080 full story. I don't know, it's just been stressful because 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.840 then I told you on the drive here, I haven't 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.520 slept a full night in like ten days now. Yeah, well, 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.080 I'm just constantly thinking, like her dismissing Lady Katie. Her 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.680 dad and brother, who are funding the private investigation, are 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.000 based in the UK, her best friends are in America. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.920 She has a very small life. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.120 So she's English. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.960 Yeah, but like circle in Sydney since she moved back 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.000 in February is very small. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:56.400 Yeah. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.720 That I don't feel responsible, but like you know when someone. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.680 Just no, yeah, I feel like you feel like you 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.359 have a voice and you could help, and you're gonna 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.080 put that voice. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.599 To I just struggle on one of those people to 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.760 just go, Okay, that's my pie done, move on. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.279 I get too. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.479 And this is why I quickly on a journalistic years ago, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.120 because I became I couldn't switch off. I couldn't you know, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.680 in the office, you do like some crazy sad news story. Yeah, 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.720 then you meant to go for after work drinks. I 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:22.400 could never do that. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.719 I'd just been walking around for hours. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.840 Yeah, you really get affected, But also like I feel 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.159 like people like you are important, because otherwise this story 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.760 would just get washed away. Like so many people I've 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.400 seen in the comments have been like, I had no 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.479 idea this was even a thing. So he brought it 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.840 back into attention, and obviously it is a mystery and 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.599 it deserves the attention it's getting. 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.520 So Yeah, and then amongst all of that, I start 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.920 getting all these random messages on socials from people like 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.160 are you okay? Are you still in hospital? Are the 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.080 police pressing charges against you? And this is before I 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.279 announced that Katie Seertz, and I was like, the fuck 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:56.800 is going on? 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:58.240 And then listen to this. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.320 Way, Joshua Fox is not being charged anything. The legal 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.279 action is being taken against the old Chody Buddy, attempted 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.880 criminal homicide, aggravated assault, reckless and dangerous, the deadly weapon, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.360 and employing a firearm during a dangerous felony. So if 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.479 Joshua Fox started this, or he had anything to do 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.560 with the instigation, why is he not being charged? 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.840 So as I started looking into that, it turns out 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.160 in America, there's a guy called Joshua FOXX who's also 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:28.960 he's a black guy. So I don't know how people 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.040 are somehow in my inbox thinking and this Joshua fox 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:32.479 was shot. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.479 They've just heard the audio obviously, and yeah, yeah. 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.360 And this of a person's been arrested. But then they're 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.839 thinking Joshua could be arrested for instigating I don't know. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.200 Then I'm just like in the middle of searching for 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.400 this missing woman, trying to pull together content to tell 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.520 the story, get in over this code that never left, 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:48.800 trying to do everything else. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.400 And then I'm like, and then you've been shot in 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:51.080 the street. Yeah. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.960 I was just like, what's happening lately? 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.080 We've had the back news. I want to know you've 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.640 left us or with something that you haven't told me. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:00.760 Oh yeah, for. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.840 Everyone at home. Sometimes when he does that, I only 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.599 have to wait a few minutes till the next episode. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.360 But I've had to wait weeks. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.799 No, because weeks it was one week. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.560 It feels like weeks. 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.640 No, So yeah, obviously last week's episode, you sharing your 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.640 lovely news, you and your partner, and then I just 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.560 got back from bailing. We hadn't spoken a while because 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.360 the other episode had been backdated and this thing. I 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.360 was going to tell you last week, but then I thought, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.280 I don't want to like distract from what is. 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.280 Your nice moment.

Now. 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.760 You know when people come out and they say they're 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:52.920 going for a phase, like, people go, he's not gay, 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:53.520 it's a phase. 0:07:53.760 --> 0:08:00.640 Yeah, I've realized. It's just no, haven't met a woman? 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:01.400 No, you haven't. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:01.720 I have. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.840 No you. 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:08.640 Why are you laughing? 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.160 Because I don't know if this is a bit okay, 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.920 I'm just made up. No, I do actually have an update, though. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.000 I just wanted to throw a curveball. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.360 Just to be just being at home. He's been throwing 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.360 curveballs about this all morning, and I've just been waiting 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.480 to hear no. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.200 Yes, So I have met somebody as well. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.920 Is this a new person or is this somebody who've 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:33.760 spoken about a lot? 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.280 No, we've never spoken about this person. You've met someone 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.040 you don't know anything about them? 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:38.440 A man? 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:39.160 A man? 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:43.439 Yes, confirms still homosexual When you say it like that, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.520 it's been maybe six weeks now, okay, cool but like 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.880 going fast yep. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.040 But like most things in my life. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.000 There's a few I don't want to say issues I 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.840 always feel in my life.

But like, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.600 it's weird because when we catch up it it's felt 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.480 like I'm holding this big thing back, which we naturally 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.280 would talk about and. 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.920 You would have friends.

Then I go, yeah, I'm 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.680 also in town for five days, so the odds are 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.080 really against us here. He goes, don't worry. I like 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.240 a difficult game. Then I go does it usually work 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:16.640 out for you? 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:16.960 Though? 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.920 Unfortunately, Josh, I wouldn't be talking to you in Tinder 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.280 if it worked out, but a man has to try. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.679 Then I go where are you from. I'm from Argentina 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:30.600 but living in Port Douglass for the time. Then I go, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.640 oh no. Then he goes, oh no, question mark. Then 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.120 I put you won't believe this, but I've had two 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.920 marriages in my life. Then I go the first one, 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.960 you have the same name as him, the second one 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.040 you're from the same country as him, And he goes, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.080 oh shit, maybe I'll stop talking now I'm digging a 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:54.240 grave here.

And then I say, I assume 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.600 you're on a working holiday visa, and I assume you 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.520 are so unsure if you want to stay in Australia 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.040 a long time.
