Speaker 4: Phone coughing out my lug.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, for anyone who hasn't been following my social media,
Speaker 2: I had parat influenza. Never heard of it before in
Speaker 2: my life?
Speaker 1: Have you no? Not until you told me no?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, they told me what I had,
Speaker 2: and I was like, what I genuinely thought I had COVID.
Speaker 4: It was way worse than COVID.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, Like way worse.
Speaker 3: Well, this was more a wet cough, wasn't it, because
Speaker 3: you said it was going to turn it well, like.
Speaker 1: On your lungs.
Speaker 4: It was on my lungs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the doctor thought I had pneumonia, like I ended
Speaker 2: up going for hess X ray. But yeah, it turns
Speaker 2: out it was just a bad case of power influenza.
Speaker 4: Do you know what was weird?
Speaker 2: Though? It's like, you know, with social media, it's so
Speaker 2: great because everyone like kind of gives you, like their
Speaker 2: two cents and kind of shares with you, like their experiences.
Speaker 4: But then when I.
Speaker 2: Actually told people I had power influenza, so many people
Speaker 2: were terrifying me. They were like, I ended up in
Speaker 2: hospital for like two weeks.
Speaker 4: It was fun to just.
Speaker 3: Tell your Anna print screenedra on them and sent it
Speaker 3: to me and that was She was like stressing, and
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, that sounds hectic.
Speaker 1: Well was it? She said that?
Speaker 2: She there, she is, I have the residual cough.
Speaker 4: So excuse the cough that's gonna come.
Speaker 1: Through through you guys cannot catch it. Don't worry catch it.
Speaker 4: Matt's worried. But yeah, I'm feeling so much better, thank God.
Speaker 2: The only thing that I'm left with is my whole
Speaker 2: neck and shoulders and my abs. Like I've pulled basically
Speaker 2: every single muscle in my body from coughing so much.
Speaker 1: You're telling me this before, That's hilarious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm like I've been going to the physio.
Speaker 2: Literally, Michael has been massaging me flat out.
Speaker 4: I'm just so tired.
Speaker 3: That's what fiancees are for anything that's not their best
Speaker 3: for So are you feeling like you one hundred percent
Speaker 3: this week and attack it?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I'm just like I'm in slay mode as
Speaker 2: of today.
Speaker 4: Like I'm on like healthy eating.
Speaker 2: So we went to my parents' house actually because we're
Speaker 2: looking after their dog with dog sitting, and that's like
Speaker 2: a whole new thing because Michael is now he's never
Speaker 2: had a dog, and he is obsessed with Alfie, who's
Speaker 2: a little groodle.
Speaker 4: He's very cute.
Speaker 3: When you put that story up, I actually showed Jen
Speaker 3: and I said, it's the same as me with Moka,
Speaker 3: Like I never grew up with a dog and now
Speaker 3: I'm just obsessed with like my girlfriend's family's dog.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like we were literally sitting in bed last night like
Speaker 2: looking up dogs that we could buy.
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, because that's how obsessed.
Speaker 2: Michael is the same breed like maybe like a big
Speaker 2: Groodle or a Golden Retriever.
Speaker 4: They're just such cute dogs. I feel like that's.
Speaker 1: Like I can't talk you into a dashound.
Speaker 4: No, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't get this sausage thing. Like I totally respect
Speaker 2: that you're obsessed with sausage dogs, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: They just look like stretched out a little look.
Speaker 1: Into this face. How can you?
Speaker 4: I don't think it's like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm not
Speaker 4: going to get into a debate whether I think dashound's
Speaker 4: a cute or not. That's a I know.
Speaker 1: You do, so I'm going to leave you with that
Speaker 1: because I will argue that.
Speaker 4: One it to the death.
Speaker 2: But yeah, No, we're at my parents' house until I
Speaker 2: think like Wednesday, and you know what, it's been really
Speaker 2: good because I was stuck in my apartment sick for
Speaker 2: like ten days straight, like didn't leave the house, and
Speaker 2: then we've gone to my parents' house and it's just
Speaker 2: so good. Like I know, they say, what's the quote
Speaker 2: or this saying They say a change is as.
Speaker 4: Good as a holiday, and it really is.
Speaker 2: And I guess that's my recommendation this week is if
Speaker 2: you're feeling like you need like a bit of a
Speaker 2: break in your routine, A change is so good because
Speaker 2: I mean, I was talking to before about how this
Speaker 2: time last year, I'd been in Thailand for the whole
Speaker 2: month of January basically because we got stuck there. I'd
Speaker 2: already been to the UK to see family, I'd been
Speaker 2: to Dubai by this time, and like it was a
Speaker 2: busy year. And this year I haven't traveled at all,
Speaker 2: and then on top of that being stuck in the
Speaker 2: house sick, and I know a lot of people are
Speaker 2: getting sick at the moment, I think it is really
Speaker 2: going around. My advice is just to have a bit
Speaker 2: of a change, even if that means like stay maybe staycation.
Speaker 2: A friend of mine, Tague, and I saw she went
Speaker 2: camping up in the high mountains and it looked beautiful, like,
Speaker 2: look I try to camping.
Speaker 1: Is she rough camping or like a van?
Speaker 3: I'd love to actually get a van and drive around
Speaker 3: in a van, like would say, different beaches in like
Speaker 3: the Bush area, I don't know, like you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, a nice school area and wake up how
Speaker 3: nice would that be.
Speaker 2: The thing is is I feel like you need a
Speaker 2: camping person to take you because we both never camped before,
Speaker 2: and like Michael's never camped. I don't know if Jen's
Speaker 2: camp before. Yeah, like none of us have camped before,
Speaker 2: so we need someone who's like been around a couple of.
Speaker 1: Times, not where the bears are, no, the.
Speaker 4: Equipment that you need.
Speaker 2: Like, I couldn't just randomly go camping. I would have
Speaker 2: absolutely no idea. But the thought of doing it in
Speaker 2: a beautiful location, like it doesn't sound like the worst idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to go camping, Like, like, what
Speaker 3: do you mean like wake tent actually not lamping, like
Speaker 3: an actual tent.
Speaker 1: Okay, you've lost me.
Speaker 2: I can't even laugh without coffee anymore because it's just
Speaker 2: like so triggering that.
Speaker 1: I can't even know. You've lost me.
Speaker 2: There, I Doah, I can't see doing anything except glaming.
Speaker 2: I mean I can't really see myself doing anything.
Speaker 3: No, I couldn't see either of us doing that. So
Speaker 3: maybe if someone wants to take us actual camping, we
Speaker 3: might think about it, but I don't think we're going
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 4: We should do it. I think that could be like
Speaker 4: a nice thing to do.
Speaker 1: You reckon.
Speaker 3: You could wake up in a tent one night on
Speaker 3: the ground, get up crack at dawn.
Speaker 2: It's probably costing like a thousand dollars with all of
Speaker 2: the ship I'd have to buy it. To make myself
Speaker 2: feel comfortable, I need like a thick mattress, I need
Speaker 2: a sleeping bag. I don't have any of this.
Speaker 3: And I'm picturing like if we go like walking while camping,
Speaker 3: Michael was going to be carrying it all and is
Speaker 3: going to be probably carrying it off to literally yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll be carrying it in Michael.
Speaker 2: Oh, well you're into the gym at the most couple
Speaker 2: of extra ways there you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was literally when I larning.
Speaker 3: I thought about going to gym again in England and
Speaker 3: I was going to.
Speaker 1: Get back into it.
Speaker 3: I said to my sisters, I'm going to fill a
Speaker 3: rucksack up of clothes and just walk around.
Speaker 1: And they said, why don't you just run it? Was
Speaker 1: it seems too hard.
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny that that's your recommendation, because what I've
Speaker 3: literally just done is I went away on a holiday.
Speaker 3: So I went up to Yeah, it was amazing. So
Speaker 3: Jen's family friend has a house right on Palm Beach.
Speaker 3: She literally walk out the back door, out the back
Speaker 3: gate and you're on the beach.
Speaker 4: It looks beautiful.
Speaker 1: Amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was honestly amazing. It was I'm in a
Speaker 3: roombat going up because I was so busy with work
Speaker 3: that week and we had things on and I was
Speaker 3: like and then I was like, you know what, fuck it.
Speaker 3: I just bought a last second ticket and I went up,
Speaker 3: and I'm really grateful I did because I had a
Speaker 3: really fun time.
Speaker 1: I went to Movie.
Speaker 4: World, I saw that how was that?
Speaker 3: Well, apart from the Scooby Doo ride being closed, anyone
Speaker 3: out there, just to let you know, it's closed for
Speaker 3: another year, so hold your breath. They're revamping it so
Speaker 3: when it opens it would be amazing. But like everyone
Speaker 3: loves Discubuty, right, that's the best bit. So you just
Speaker 3: smashed the wild Rest wide, right, I reckon about like
Speaker 3: six times. I don't the Wild West one, you know,
Speaker 3: the log one and you go down and the water slash.
Speaker 3: Every didn't even look at like the other ones. I
Speaker 3: hate rollercoasters.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought you would have loved them. That's so interesting.
Speaker 1: I hate not being in control.
Speaker 3: Okay, so like you know, I'm a control a little bit,
Speaker 3: you know me, Like I like to control things around
Speaker 3: me and not being in control of like what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Just get the fuck out of it.
Speaker 4: You would have loved the thrill of it, though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well ones that I the ones that I did,
Speaker 3: I love the thrill of it, Like the ones I reckon.
Speaker 1: I could do it.
Speaker 3: If I was offered a bit of money, like say
Speaker 3: they said, like two hundred bucks going that, right, I'd
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, no one is, but you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, if someone did that, I would.
Speaker 2: So basically you definitely don't want to go on unless
Speaker 2: you're getting paced.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he doesn't like.
Speaker 3: Right, And then we just hung out the rest of
Speaker 3: the time, really relaxing. Went to rick Shaw's amazing. There
Speaker 3: have you been there?
Speaker 4: No, I've never even heard of it. What is it?
Speaker 3: It's this restaurant right on like the beach of Burley
Speaker 3: and it's a yeah Agent Fusion, Yeah, yeah, they always
Speaker 3: are and underneath the Burley pab That was amazing and
Speaker 3: just it was nice to get away. So like I,
Speaker 3: like you said, I got itchy feet and I was
Speaker 3: like I want to go away, like I'm in too,
Speaker 3: So that was really fun, but I had to come
Speaker 3: back in time for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: So that's why I've got got a super Bowl top on.
Speaker 3: Got Tom Brady the Goat. Thank you, Jen brought this
Speaker 3: morning for Christmas. I'm ready to rock it today. All
Speaker 3: the boys straight from here, straight to the pub.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I actually didn't place in the Fantasy league. I was.
Speaker 1: I made playoffs.
Speaker 3: But so I've got a couple of I've got a
Speaker 3: couple of drinking punishments coming my way, so it should
Speaker 3: be fun.
Speaker 2: You're going to be absolutely lit off your tits by
Speaker 2: the end of the day or.
Speaker 3: Drinking package starts at ten am. Yeah, so I'm getting
Speaker 3: there at nine point thirty.
Speaker 1: Starts at ten am.
Speaker 2: So that made me get up at five point thirty
Speaker 2: this morning to do this podcast. I mean technically I
Speaker 2: did cancel for the first time because I was sick
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 4: That was the first time we weren't in the studio.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so because you were sick. And then I
Speaker 3: was stressing because I was like, well, I'm for a
Speaker 3: ticket to go away. When are we going to record this?
Speaker 3: But here we are.
Speaker 4: Here, we are right and early.
Speaker 1: So we've got a theme today of Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: Everyone, Happy Valentine's Day. What have you got planned this year?
Speaker 1: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: I actually have nothing planned. I'm going to do some
Speaker 2: planning when i leave the studio.
Speaker 4: Michael.
Speaker 2: So it's actually our one year and a half anniversary
Speaker 2: falls on the day seventeen, so oh yeah, yeah, so
Speaker 2: on Friday, Oh is it Friday?
Speaker 4: Thursday? Friday?
Speaker 2: Anyway, Michael's planned something special on Friday, so he's asked
Speaker 2: me to leave it free. And I'm assuming we're celebrating
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day and our one and a half year anniversary
Speaker 2: and crazy that we've only been together for a year
Speaker 2: and a half.
Speaker 1: I literally was just now I've got your cough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it still blows my mind, Like that's so early
Speaker 2: in a relationship.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, like I think about a baby at a
Speaker 3: one and a half year old, they're young. Like if
Speaker 3: you think about like developing, yeah, they're young.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's true. Do you know what's weird as well?
Speaker 2: It's like you know what you get worried like once
Speaker 2: you've been together for a little bit, that like you're
Speaker 2: gonna lose a spark or the honeymoon phase is going
Speaker 2: to be over.
Speaker 4: I had like a.
Speaker 2: Freak out because I was like, because I was sick,
Speaker 2: I was just not horny at all. Like I was
Speaker 2: so ill, Like I think we like tried to have
Speaker 2: sex and like halfway through, I was just like just coughing.
Speaker 2: He I was coughing. I wasn't feeling it. I was
Speaker 2: like this isn't I'm not having a good time. And
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, is a honeymoon phase over?
Speaker 2: Like I'm so stressed out.
Speaker 1: Well, now that you're feeling better, have you had sex?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but like it's I'm still not like back
Speaker 2: to full levels of.
Speaker 3: Like I wouldn't worry about that, to be fair, like
Speaker 3: maybe you just well did it before you got sick?
Speaker 1: Were you not as horny?
Speaker 2: No, before I got sick? Or we love the life,
Speaker 2: but then I got sick.
Speaker 3: Well it could take something as miniscule, well not minsical,
Speaker 3: but it's like this that you're sick and then do
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Then you don't have sex
Speaker 3: and then it becomes sort of like a thing, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's not that we haven't been having sex, but it's
Speaker 2: just like you know, when you're just like not as.
Speaker 4: Like up and about.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you have a title number for Michael Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2: Maybe I should get one, maybe you should get Actually no,
Speaker 2: I do have someone from love Honey.
Speaker 1: Okay, remember, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4: I could put some of like the shoot Lingerie back.
Speaker 1: On, spice it up a little bit.
Speaker 4: I have been.
Speaker 2: Trying to spice it up though. It's not that I
Speaker 2: haven't been trying. It's just that, like I think my
Speaker 2: immune system is still really low. So I'm not like
Speaker 2: you know what I mean or do you know what
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: I'm not like you know, if your body's focusing more
Speaker 3: on healing than being.
Speaker 2: Horny essentially essentially, yeah.
Speaker 1: Lucky for me, it doesn't worry about healing. It's just.
Speaker 2: Try and get try getting para influenza, and then see
Speaker 2: how you're feeling.
Speaker 1: I reckon, I'll probably get it end sitting across here
Speaker 1: from you.
Speaker 4: Maybe you could use a bit of it, just like, yeah, no.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen my hornings overcome that. Well, that's
Speaker 3: all right, So maybe you just chuck a title number
Speaker 3: on Valentine's Day. You guys have a nice do you
Speaker 3: have any idea what he's doing. Surely you don't know.
Speaker 2: Like I'm assuming it's just like dinner plans on Friday, Okay,
Speaker 2: but like I do want to do something nice for him,
Speaker 2: because obviously he's always super thoughtful.
Speaker 3: Well, I've taken the rains this Valentine's Day, have you? Yeah,
Speaker 3: So I'll get into why. I last year was a
Speaker 3: bit ship of Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1: But this year, oh.
Speaker 4: My god, I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll tell that, but I'll focus on this
Speaker 3: year first. I'll start with the dessert this year.
Speaker 1: Then I'll get to the veggies.
Speaker 3: Okay, this year, I've taking the rain. So tomorrow night
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get us Jen and I some dinner, nice
Speaker 3: bottle of champagne, and we have our spot, you know,
Speaker 3: our spots.
Speaker 1: No, that's what. No, I can see why you think that.
Speaker 4: But it's isn't that why you asked her out?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I did, but no, we found a better place.
Speaker 3: Were like early on in our relationship, we were like
Speaker 3: during COVID, We're like, all right, let's go on a date.
Speaker 3: Let's take each other on a date. So we had
Speaker 3: limited places. I took it to one spot at this
Speaker 3: Gulf Park it sucked. And then she took me to this,
Speaker 3: and she took me to this lookout. I don't really
Speaker 3: want to tell people, so they go there because it's pretty, like.
Speaker 4: It's your Valentine's you know what.
Speaker 1: Oversaturated.
Speaker 3: We went there for New Year's and it out overlooks
Speaker 3: the city on the beach and there's like rocks.
Speaker 1: It's really nice.
Speaker 3: So I'm just going to get a pizza, nice bottle
Speaker 3: of champagne, and we'll sit there.
Speaker 1: I already got over.
Speaker 4: Love Heart pizza. Have you seen those?
Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen that.
Speaker 4: The pizza places are doing like Love Heart pizzas, which
Speaker 4: I feel like is extra key.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might have to find one that does that.
Speaker 1: Then maybe I make.
Speaker 4: My own pizza in my heart.
Speaker 1: Very cute. That's very cute. That's something to steal that
Speaker 1: and I've thought it.
Speaker 3: Obviously a book, because we get each other books for
Speaker 3: every celebration we have gifts, so that would be nice.
Speaker 3: Last year, unfortunately we didn't get to spend Valentine's Day together.
Speaker 3: So super Bowl Day coincidentally landed on Valentine's Day. Yes,
Speaker 3: but that's not the reason we didn't hang out.
Speaker 2: I'm actually shocked that you're telling this story because last
Speaker 2: year we were going to tell this and you were like,
Speaker 2: I can't tell it, like legal reasons, I cannot tell
Speaker 2: the podcast it.
Speaker 3: Happened, which killed me because it was actually like to me,
Speaker 3: it's a funny story and pretty entertaining.
Speaker 4: Funny, but also stressed, very.
Speaker 1: Stressful, and very sad.
Speaker 3: So super Bowl Day was on Valentine's Day, So if
Speaker 3: this hadn't happened, I wouldn't have probably probably wouldn't have
Speaker 3: spent Valentine's Day together anyway like super Bowl, but we
Speaker 3: understood that you.
Speaker 4: Always put super Bowl before Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: Basically the real boys, it's Christmas.
Speaker 4: For me, it is. There are some downfalls, downfalls of dating.
Speaker 1: The super Bowl comes first, but.
Speaker 4: You always make an effort to do other things.
Speaker 3: So we spent the Friday and Saturday night we went
Speaker 3: out for nice didners. Last year, I made up for it,
Speaker 3: so you have to. So what happened was I'll tell
Speaker 3: from the start. Early on dating Jen, we were driving.
Speaker 3: It was during lockdown, we had nothing to do. We
Speaker 3: drove to the local bottle shop on Chapel Street. I
Speaker 3: did a parallel park. I don't know the guy tutored me.
Speaker 3: He said that I hit him. We agreed that I
Speaker 3: didn't hit him.
Speaker 4: We agreed that he didn't hit we both did.
Speaker 3: We shook hands and said I didn't touch his car.
Speaker 3: We went our separate ways.
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, yeah, that's right, I forget.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't have insurance at the time, which is so
Speaker 3: fucking dumb. And this is a lesson. This is my recommendation,
Speaker 3: Actually always have car insurance. I didn't have it because
Speaker 3: I was driving my excess car before that. Then we're
Speaker 3: in lockdown and last episode, I'm so dumb with my funds.
Speaker 3: I didn't even realize that, like my car intruderents wasn't
Speaker 3: coming out of my account. So a couple of weeks past,
Speaker 3: then panel Beater calls me. He says, I owe him
Speaker 3: thirteen thousand dollars. Someone's car that I hit is damaged.
Speaker 3: I was like, mate, this is a prank call, hung up,
Speaker 3: ignored it. Later on, I got summoned to court.
Speaker 4: To pay you guys had exchanged details.
Speaker 1: No, we didn't know. We didn't exchange details.
Speaker 4: How did he know that?
Speaker 5: You're not? So?
Speaker 3: I think he might have taken fire of my number plate,
Speaker 3: And I think that panel of the Vedas or something.
Speaker 3: They have an ability to search it, I think on
Speaker 3: like some website.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, so they found your details.
Speaker 3: So I found my details. Then I got like subpoenaed
Speaker 3: or served whatever it is, got someoned to the magistrate's
Speaker 3: court on the fourteenth of November of fourteenth or February.
Speaker 4: Crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to briefly tell the story. I'm going
Speaker 3: to go into too much details so legal yeah, and
Speaker 3: just just so I don't want to like it. If
Speaker 3: I told this story long, it would go for ages.
Speaker 3: But then I got some legal advice not to get
Speaker 3: a lawyer, which was in hindsight very dumb.
Speaker 1: He was at the magistrate's court.
Speaker 3: So the fourteenth of feb last year, we go to court,
Speaker 3: me and the guy and his lawyer, and he had
Speaker 3: a lawyer.
Speaker 1: He had witnesses were black people that like.
Speaker 4: He How would you have witnesses people.
Speaker 3: That had assessed the car? The panel leader that fixed it.
Speaker 3: I was just one big scam. Yeah, long story short.
Speaker 3: I actually had to cross examine him and his witnesses.
Speaker 1: It was fucking so full on.
Speaker 2: You cross examined someone in a court room a you okay,
Speaker 2: like no story like it just blows my mind. Like, Okay,
Speaker 2: so let's just fast forward from my perspective, Matt's going
Speaker 2: to court in three months time, and I'm like, you
Speaker 2: need to get a lawyer.
Speaker 4: You're going to court.
Speaker 2: Basically, Matt was like, I know I didn't hit this guy,
Speaker 2: So if I was getting a lawyer, it makes me
Speaker 2: look like I'm trying to protect myself that like I'm guilty,
Speaker 2: Like I'm just going to go in by myself because
Speaker 2: nothing happened. Meanwhile, this guy's lawyered up. He's got all
Speaker 2: of these people ready to go, and he's suing that
Speaker 2: for all of this money. And that's rolling in trying
Speaker 2: to fucking cross examine someone when he's never taking a
Speaker 2: legal class in his life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I had to cross examined him. It was
Speaker 3: so bad. I had no questions, I had nothing. I
Speaker 3: ended up asking him did I hit you? And he
Speaker 3: said yes, And I remember just like turning around and
Speaker 3: being like, I can't deal with fucking liars, and then
Speaker 3: like walked back to myself.
Speaker 4: He said I can't deal with fucking liars. Oh my god.
Speaker 4: It was the judge like are you.
Speaker 1: The judge is okay?
Speaker 3: I think he realized that, like I didn't understand the
Speaker 3: severity of the situation.
Speaker 4: How much did he see you for?
Speaker 3: I'm thirteen and a bit worth of damage and then
Speaker 3: six thousand for his loyal lawyer fees, So it came
Speaker 3: to like twenty K.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you can laugh about it now because that
Speaker 4: was a dark day.
Speaker 1: It was fucking brutal. So what happened, Well, I obviously lost.
Speaker 3: I could have like appealed it, and I was just
Speaker 3: like I don't want to go through that all again.
Speaker 3: So I just was like, fuck it, I'll just pay.
Speaker 3: So I paid him and just kept got it out
Speaker 3: of my life.
Speaker 4: But you didn't hit this guy?
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 1: Well, well the judge said that I did, so that
Speaker 1: is crazy.
Speaker 3: Well, well, one bit of evidence was there's how did
Speaker 3: I do thirteen k worth a damage and there's to
Speaker 3: his car but nothing to mine?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, how does my canto have a scratch?
Speaker 2: And he I remember you called me and you were like,
Speaker 2: this guy thinks I hit him and I definitely didn't.
Speaker 4: Gem was in the car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So how do you go parallel parking at like
Speaker 3: five kilometers an hour and do thirteen.
Speaker 4: Like on to like his what type of car.
Speaker 1: Did he have jeep?
Speaker 4: They're indestructible, supposedly.
Speaker 1: Supposed a tap.
Speaker 3: So that was my Valentine's Day horror story. I obviously
Speaker 3: like lost the court case, cried for a little bit
Speaker 3: and realized the boys were still out, put on my jersey,
Speaker 3: went out and just got got ship faced with the boys.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I paid the money, I've saved back
Speaker 3: up what I spent, and like, you know, like just
Speaker 3: on and it's annoying. I would have double what I've got,
Speaker 3: you know, you know what I mean, Like, well more
Speaker 3: than what I've got now, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's just annoying.
Speaker 4: I felt really bad for you. It was not good.
Speaker 3: It's not good. No, it is what it is, though
Speaker 3: you learn. So that's my recommendation. Always have car insurance.
Speaker 4: Fuck do you reckon?
Speaker 2: That guy like looked you up, maybe like recognized you
Speaker 2: saw that you'd been on TV and thought like you
Speaker 2: were rich.
Speaker 1: I reckon little did.
Speaker 4: The negatives.
Speaker 1: And it all happened around the same time. Someone like
Speaker 1: it was a bad time. It was a bad time.
Speaker 4: It's so bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, hopefully none of the wheres your head out fam
Speaker 2: have to go through this after this recommendation, check your
Speaker 2: car insurance and make sure it's still coming down.
Speaker 3: That's what I've said to everyone in my family as well.
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's two things I learned. Lawyer up and
Speaker 3: always have car insurance, two things that I've always and
Speaker 3: it looked to be fair.
Speaker 1: It was on my fault.
Speaker 3: I didn't have co insurance. I was fucking silly. I
Speaker 3: was driving my excess car for ages broke out with
Speaker 3: her maybe three months for four months. Didn't even think
Speaker 3: about it because I wasn't driving anywhere. My car was
Speaker 3: sitting on the driveway.
Speaker 4: You're in lockdown?
Speaker 1: Yeah, where was I driving to? Like this? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just didn't didn't think about it.
Speaker 2: Like you don't have a car, and I don't have
Speaker 2: to think about this. Can you believe I still don't
Speaker 2: have a car as well?
Speaker 1: That's wild.
Speaker 2: Well, like Michael and I live together now and he
Speaker 2: has a car, and like we just share the car.
Speaker 4: We only have one spot. Anyway, I couldn't do.
Speaker 1: That Jen and I because Jen wants to sell hers.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I have a work car
Speaker 1: and my car, so.
Speaker 4: I think you could definitely do it.
Speaker 1: I could definitely do it. Yeah, but I just feel.
Speaker 4: Like when you live in the city, there's really no
Speaker 4: need for it.
Speaker 2: Like if we moved out into the suburbs, have you
Speaker 2: called public transport at all? No, But like if I'm
Speaker 2: going anywhere, then I need to Yeah, I get a
Speaker 2: new butt.
Speaker 4: It's like fifteen dollars.
Speaker 2: I have to say that anywhere basically, and then if
Speaker 2: I need the car during the dow just drive Michael
Speaker 2: to work and then pick him up.
Speaker 4: It's so easy and save so much money.
Speaker 3: I have to say, yeah, well in car insurance is
Speaker 3: what one thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, compared to twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Like just that's what kills me, just to think that
Speaker 3: I just fucking for like just slip my mind. I mean,
Speaker 3: like I said, like I said from when it half
Speaker 3: of him, like two days after after I was over,
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck it, it's a funny story to
Speaker 3: tell that round tables that the rest of for the
Speaker 3: rest of my life, like a life lesson I learned.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you think it's funny, because if I had
Speaker 2: to pay twenty K to repair someone's card that I didn't,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be finding it funny.
Speaker 3: I Lily just transferred it through BSB and like it
Speaker 3: was fucking heartbreaking, the whole like my whole savings.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, I feel bad. I feel so
Speaker 2: bad for you. Hopefully, hopefully everyone else feels as bad
Speaker 2: as I do for you and you can get some
Speaker 2: sympathy for what you.
Speaker 4: Went through a bit. I mean, I feel like this
Speaker 4: guy is just like a criminal.
Speaker 1: He's a crook. I had to scam itten all over it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he saw opportunity. I don't want to say opportunity
Speaker 4: and pounds.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say too much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't say too much.
Speaker 1: I have to say too much. I have my opinion
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 4: I told you that my rent went up five hundred
Speaker 4: dollars a month.
Speaker 1: It went up five hundred or it went up to
Speaker 1: five hundred.
Speaker 2: No, so it all so I was already paying what
Speaker 2: I was paying, and it's gone up an additional five hundred.
Speaker 1: That's extortion. That's extortion.
Speaker 4: It's extortion.
Speaker 2: So it's like gone up like twenty five percent or
Speaker 2: something crazy, thirty percent.
Speaker 1: It's nuts, Like that's not even that's got to be illegal.
Speaker 2: I think I think they can do it because I'm
Speaker 2: I was in a yearly contract, but then after that
Speaker 2: it just automatically goes month to month. And when you're
Speaker 2: month to month and not like locked in, they.
Speaker 4: Can put it up.
Speaker 1: Why because they want to get rid of you.
Speaker 2: No, just because of all of the inflation everything's going on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so our rent's gone up.
Speaker 2: So now since we've been living at my parents' house
Speaker 2: having a little bit of a sea change for the
Speaker 2: past few days and all weekend, me and Michael kind
Speaker 2: of like.
Speaker 4: Could we live in the suburbs? Do we think that
Speaker 4: this is a vibe?
Speaker 1: Do you could?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 4: I actually think think I could.
Speaker 1: I could. I could move back out as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I actually kind of like it.
Speaker 2: I like being in like walking distance to some nice
Speaker 2: local shop.
Speaker 1: It is cool being off Chapel Street, both of us.
Speaker 4: I'm really off Chapel Street.
Speaker 2: I hate to say, anyone who's listening from Melbourne, and
Speaker 2: Chapel Street used to be like the go to place,
Speaker 2: and I just feel like.
Speaker 4: It gross.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't really like going out on
Speaker 3: Chapel Street, but coincidentally, everything always finishes on or ends
Speaker 3: up on Chapel Street.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it is good to get home that way.
Speaker 4: I guess. So I don't know. I'm just like tossing up.
Speaker 1: I could see you living back in the urbs. You've
Speaker 1: got the ring. Now you're looking at a dog house
Speaker 1: in the verbs.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just kind of like.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Maria, it's all falling into place.
Speaker 2: No, we're gonna I don't want to have a baby
Speaker 2: before the wedding. I think people think that I've taken
Speaker 2: out my Marina because I want to, Like, you don't
Speaker 2: want you.
Speaker 1: Don't want to have the dress refitted?

Speaker 4: after the beat.
Speaker 1: Okay, so our first caller on the hot line is.
Speaker 6: Jess him at Nana.
Speaker 4: It's Jess here.
Speaker 6: I've god before colleg again for the Valentine's Day messages,
Speaker 6: because I have a pretty funny little Valentine's Day fail story. Basically,
Speaker 6: I was just seeing a guy and it was pretty
Speaker 6: new that we're only dating for a few weeks and
Speaker 6: then Valentine's Day. Hip he said, we won't do anything
Speaker 6: for Valentine's Day because like it's too early and we
Speaker 6: don't know whatever. But on the morning of Valentine's Day,
Speaker 6: I got a text from him. My name is Jess,
Speaker 6: but the text said Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4: So I just blocked him.
Speaker 6: I didn't bother asking what was going on, whether he
Speaker 6: forgot my name or was meant to send it to
Speaker 6: someone called Erica, But either way, no thanks.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that is so sad.
Speaker 3: I just I couldn't block him or her, like I
Speaker 3: couldn't block someone straight away.
Speaker 4: I need to know.
Speaker 1: I would need to know do that. I'd be like, haha,
Speaker 1: wrong person, Like I'd want to know what the fuck
Speaker 1: was going on.
Speaker 4: I'd want to call them out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my care definitely, the curiosity or whatever would kill me.
Speaker 1: I'd just be like, fun, I won't know why he
Speaker 1: did this. Who it was? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Who the fuck is Erica?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, you'd be raging. Even if it was just a.
Speaker 4: I would be fuming. That's so mean. So obviously, he'd
Speaker 4: said to Jess.
Speaker 2: We aren't celebrating Valentine's Day, probably because he was celebrating
Speaker 2: with Erica or.
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, and then Jess was like yeah, cool, and
Speaker 3: then Erica was like, well no, I want to celebrate it.
Speaker 3: Have you ever been with someone like dating him? And
Speaker 3: then Valentine's Day pops up?
Speaker 4: It gets a bit all, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: I'm feel like, if.
Speaker 2: You're newly dating someone, it's kind of this awkward thing
Speaker 2: where it's.
Speaker 3: Like, let's say, not even official, yeah, not official, maybe
Speaker 3: not even exclusive.
Speaker 2: You're not even exclusive when you're just seeing someone, like
Speaker 2: maybe you've gone on like three or four days, and
Speaker 2: then Valentine's Days coming up.
Speaker 4: I feel like they should still.
Speaker 2: At least send you like a message, and they should
Speaker 2: take you out on a date that night.
Speaker 4: Like they don't need to get you anything.
Speaker 2: They could maybe give you like a single rose as
Speaker 2: like a token of like I like you.
Speaker 1: But what happens if you are like the exclusive chat
Speaker 1: hasn't happened and you're seeing multiple people like I.
Speaker 4: Guess, well, then that pisces me off.
Speaker 1: I remember I was sort of seeing this girl. This
Speaker 1: was years ago, and because I was still doing at
Speaker 1: mums and we were at the point where it was
Speaker 1: sort of like what are we? What are we?
Speaker 3: And I was sort of like I was young, and
Speaker 3: I was maybe like, what twenty one, I reckon, not
Speaker 3: even twenty two, twenty one, and I was like, you
Speaker 3: know what, come around, I'll cook you a barbecue. I
Speaker 3: cooked your barbecue. I got her like a single rose,
Speaker 3: left it on her plate. And that actually not fucking
Speaker 3: me over.
Speaker 4: But you know, so she ended up sucking me.
Speaker 1: It was great, did that do? But she fucked me over?
Speaker 1: To be fair, the guy she fucked me over, which
Speaker 1: she's still with.
Speaker 4: That's not so bad.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Our next caller is anonymous, so you know this always
Speaker 3: a nerve.
Speaker 5: Wracking Hey, guys. Okay, So me and Matt's first Valentine's Day,
Speaker 5: which was last year. I was a few days before
Speaker 5: Valentine's Day because Matt had a court case against him
Speaker 5: at the nunch Ship's court. I'm not going to get
Speaker 5: into detail. I'm sure Matt has filled you all in
Speaker 5: about that, but I'm not dating a criminal. He's no
Speaker 5: crim I promise that. As Matt likes to say, the
Speaker 5: justice system let him down. So anyone who knows Matt
Speaker 5: will know he's a huge NFL supporter. He plays fantasy
Speaker 5: football with his mates every Monday morning. I'm woking to
Speaker 5: the game on our TV at six am in the bedroom.
Speaker 5: Super Bowl fell on Valentine's Day last year, so I'm
Speaker 5: feeling so sorry for all all us girls who fell
Speaker 5: victim to this. He was on Valentine's Day and super
Speaker 5: Bowl was on Valentine's Day. He couldn't attend super Bowl
Speaker 5: with the boys. So it's the one day that Matt
Speaker 5: lips for besides Christmas. So I took the day off.
Speaker 6: Work to be his support.
Speaker 5: I had to watch him defend himself in court all
Speaker 5: day by himself. It's out a lawyer. That's another story
Speaker 5: that I can't even get into. So in between sessions,
Speaker 5: he's watching the game.
Speaker 4: He's crying.
Speaker 5: He's an emotional wreck. He ends up.
Speaker 4: Losing his court case.
Speaker 5: He got sued twenty thousand dollars. So after the hearing,
Speaker 5: he collapsed on our band crying. I mean I would
Speaker 5: too if I got sued twenty thousand dollars. But it
Speaker 5: basically had to dress him in his NFL jersey, get
Speaker 5: a beer out of the fridge for him, and drive
Speaker 5: him to his mates on Chapel Street, and I just
Speaker 5: remember him sitting in the passenger seat with my car,
Speaker 5: wearing his jersey, holding his beer, balling his eyes out.
Speaker 5: I felt so sorry for him, but yeah, I didn't
Speaker 5: know if he was crying because he got sue twenty
Speaker 5: grand or crying because he missed Super Bowl. But I
Speaker 5: was telling him, don't worry, babe. This time next year,
Speaker 5: we'll be laughing about it, and thank god we are
Speaker 5: so a Valentine's Day I will never forget. And I
Speaker 5: can't wait to see what he has planned for us
Speaker 5: this year.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's funny that she told her.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so from her side, it sounds pretty rough, doesn't
Speaker 3: it sound.
Speaker 4: Was absolutely terrible, though. I feel like you kind of
Speaker 4: need to step up this year.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've gone the more, planning a lot on that though.
Speaker 3: She was meant to be my witness because she was
Speaker 3: in the car, and she was just like, nah, she's
Speaker 3: she got a bit scared, like not because she didn't
Speaker 3: want to do it for me, but she got scared
Speaker 3: because it was full cross examining her.
Speaker 1: And I was like, look, I've lost at this point, babe.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I don't don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: There's no point putting you through this because I I
Speaker 3: realized I'd lost the moment I got there and they
Speaker 3: had full lawyers.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that is crazy.
Speaker 3: Well, and to be fair, god love her. She was
Speaker 3: trying to get me to Chapel Streets so quickly. She
Speaker 3: actually got a speeding fine.
Speaker 4: Did you pay it?
Speaker 1: I think I did?
Speaker 4: That's nice.
Speaker 1: No, maybe I know that was a different That was
Speaker 1: a different one I.
Speaker 3: Got in her car. But yeah, she was trying to
Speaker 3: get me there. She got a speeding fine. Poor thing.
Speaker 4: You should have paid that.
Speaker 2: You really.
Speaker 3: Down It was a speeding fine. Yeah, so she was
Speaker 3: like I remember that. Yeah, yeah I was. I was
Speaker 3: pretty inconsolable. And she did a very good job at
Speaker 3: looking after you after me, and I appreciate her for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my god. That really is a Valentine's Day
Speaker 4: that you will both never forget.
Speaker 1: Very horror story.
Speaker 3: As far as Valentine's Day stories go, don't worry, Jenna,
Speaker 3: if you're listening, you will appreciate tonight.
Speaker 1: It's Valentine's Day gift.
Speaker 4: I've got four very cute you know what.
Speaker 2: This Valentine's Day fuck, like go the extra mile for people,
Speaker 2: I think, making people happy and doing like romantic things
Speaker 2: and big gestures like it's so nice and if you
Speaker 2: do make it memorable, Like, let's that's the thing about
Speaker 2: life as well, Like I think, celebrate the small things.
Speaker 2: If you're in a good place with someone, like make
Speaker 2: it known, like, don't hold back those feelings. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: you never know what's going to be happening next year,
Speaker 2: maybe you're not with them, maybe you'll regret it.
Speaker 3: So, like you said, Valentine's Day is a day for
Speaker 3: big gestures. So maybe ask that person out you won't
Speaker 3: want to go out with, Maybe ask him on a
Speaker 3: day like, Yeah, you know, if you really like someone,
Speaker 3: you asking me out on Valentine's Day, you're setting the tone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, put yourself out there? Why not?
Speaker 3: I know, and everyone that's already in a relationship just
Speaker 3: maybe go that extra mile for your partner and let
Speaker 3: them know how much you love them.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think you only regret things that you don't do.
Speaker 2: I think you'll never regret like putting yourself out there.
Speaker 2: And like the thing is is, let's just say you
Speaker 2: do put yourself out there after listening to this advice,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't go the way you want it to go,
Speaker 2: then you know where you stand exactly. That's actually better
Speaker 2: than being like, maybe this could be something, maybe it's not.
Speaker 1: I would hate not knowing. I'd rather know than not
Speaker 1: No same.
Speaker 2: I love just ripping the band aid off and just
Speaker 2: being like, okay, now we know where we now, we.
Speaker 1: Know where we stand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, if you're having a single girl's Valentine's
Speaker 2: Day and you don't have a day, order yourself a pizza,
Speaker 2: pour yourself a nice glass of red wine.
Speaker 4: Run a bath. I had a bath actually at my parents' house.
Speaker 1: Oh amazing, I'd love a bath.
Speaker 4: It was insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bubbles, it's little bod.
Speaker 2: Bubbles, a little bit of what's it called, like the detox,
Speaker 2: like magnesium muscles, muscle, relax, relaxingt.
Speaker 1: Putting rose petals in there.
Speaker 2: I don't know what type of bougie bath do you'll
Speaker 2: have a but no, there was no rose petals.
Speaker 3: But you know, well, yeah, have yourself a nice bath, relax,
Speaker 3: Maybe forget it's Valentine's.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is is like Valentine's is about love,
Speaker 2: and if you don't have a romantic interest to show
Speaker 2: love too, then show love to yourself like self care.
Speaker 4: I remember I've had a few.
Speaker 2: Single Valentine's dres a lot of single Valentine's Days, actually,
