Speaker 2: country and Elder's past and present, always.
Speaker 1: Was, always will be Aboriginal Land. I'm Britney Saunders.
Speaker 2: And I'm all right hey, and this is High Strollers,
Speaker 2: the podcast version of your favorite group chat.
Speaker 1: So we've been hearing we've been sharing our lives online
Speaker 1: for over ten years. Is this what we say? Matt?
Speaker 1: We've got this new intro and we always forget, but
Speaker 1: let's just keep it going. Who better to spill the
Speaker 1: tea on everything that's been going on on the internet
Speaker 1: and in our lives, and.
Speaker 2: Plus we talk a lot about ourselves too. Now coming
Speaker 2: up on today's episode, it's a bit of a spam call,
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: It's a spam actually we've flooded your inbox, but the
Speaker 1: spam inbox.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred topics in less than forty minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's let's crack on. Let's go for it because this
Speaker 2: episode goes left right inside out Wes and it's chaos, baby,
Speaker 2: it's chaos, So deal me in, dol let's go.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Matthew, I'm good.
Speaker 1: How are you on top of the world last at the.
Speaker 2: Top of the morning too. Yeah, this is a.
Speaker 1: Nice way to start my week. Every week, I must
Speaker 1: admit seeing you on a Monday, loving life. I wrapped
Speaker 1: up my book tour at the end of last week.
Speaker 1: Big show. As you would say, It was a big show.
Speaker 1: And do you want to know what? I met? So
Speaker 1: many scrollers, Like, so many scrollers came to all the
Speaker 1: events that we were hosting at our stores, and we
Speaker 1: were just talking about all the shit that we talk about.
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, I love the pot I love everything that.
Speaker 1: You talk about on there. And then I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what we fucking talk about on here
Speaker 1: because it's so.
Speaker 2: Much I know, and sometimes we might double a recall.
Speaker 2: But also even what we speak about today, today's episode's
Speaker 2: going live tomorrow in less than twenty four hours. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I get to those no context spoilers, and I think,
Speaker 2: bloody hell, what did we talk about? It was only no,
Speaker 2: I've slacked right off.
Speaker 3: You haven't done it for the last few weeks.
Speaker 2: I've slacked right off. It was America because when we
Speaker 2: were in America, I just couldn't keep up. There was
Speaker 2: just so much going on. And then sorry to bring
Speaker 2: it up again. If you didn't know, we did just
Speaker 2: skate America. Sorry, I know not many of you know.
Speaker 1: It was a big send goes on a holiday and
Speaker 1: makes it their whole personality and no one actually gives
Speaker 1: a fuck.
Speaker 2: But yeah, basically I just forgot and then I got back.
Speaker 2: And the thing was what was annoying about the whole
Speaker 2: thing was I was doing each week. I was saying, like,
Speaker 2: episode number fifty five, episode.
Speaker 3: Now, you don't write the episode, you don't.
Speaker 2: Know what one I'm rup to. But also I missed
Speaker 2: a week. Yeah, and that was devastating. So yeah, and
Speaker 2: the highlight as well. I got the highlight on my
Speaker 2: Instagram of like every single night.
Speaker 1: I wish I'd done that.
Speaker 3: It's too late for me to go back and make
Speaker 3: a highlight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but basically, it's at one hundreds. It's full. Now
Speaker 2: make a second one. I think I think the non
Speaker 2: context spoilers may have been just a thing for the
Speaker 2: og scrollers. If you've come up until this point, you
Speaker 2: were a part of that legacy.
Speaker 1: But I think, oh, we've moved on to a new chapter,
Speaker 1: have we.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't fucking know. I just.
Speaker 1: Look, we've got the broadcast channels, so maybe we can
Speaker 1: just start doing something little special in there.
Speaker 2: I know. And also I wanted to say because thinking
Speaker 2: about it in the shower this morning was sometimes on
Speaker 2: this podcast, I find us saying I will have to
Speaker 2: put that in our broadcast channel, and then we forget.
Speaker 2: But then we forget. But also no one follows up.
Speaker 1: No one holds us accountable, No one holds us accountable.
Speaker 2: So scrolls if there's anything that we say throughout our
Speaker 2: episodes and we say, you know, we'll put that in
Speaker 2: the broadcast channel, can you actually keep us accountable because
Speaker 2: we again forget what we say. This really is like
Speaker 2: a journal entry in the corner of the internet that
Speaker 2: we never think anyone's going to hear again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I go on my tour and everyone's
Speaker 1: like love the pod, love you and Matt together, like
Speaker 1: people like it's part of my morning routine, and it's
Speaker 1: just so cool to like, actually, you know, like obviously,
Speaker 1: when we're doing this podcast, we know that we're talking
Speaker 1: to people, but because they're not like sitting here with
Speaker 1: us right now reacting to what we're saying, it's just
Speaker 1: really cool to actually meet people in the flesh and
Speaker 1: have them go love the pod you guys, crack me
Speaker 1: up and guess what, Matt what. I met a couple
Speaker 1: of gals at our Newcastle store event that we did,
Speaker 1: which was on Thursday night, and they told me and
Speaker 1: then she actually tagged us in a story I think
Speaker 1: just yesterday or something. There is a drive Raj's Corner
Speaker 1: in Newcastle, like near Charlestown for any of you that
Speaker 1: are from NWI. And so, because everyone was talking about
Speaker 1: the Lassies with me, like on the whole book tour,
Speaker 1: everyone was just talking about Mango Lassie yep, and so
Speaker 1: Raja's where I get mine from, but I get mine
Speaker 1: from the Hamilton one.
Speaker 3: There's a drive through Indian and I think we need
Speaker 3: to go there. You need to come to Nui and
Speaker 3: we need to make a video goal through the drive
Speaker 3: through and then you try the Mango and Rose Lassie.
Speaker 3: And I had no idea there was a drive through one.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely keen to do that. We might make it
Speaker 2: a Scrollers exclusive, put on the high Scrollers.
Speaker 1: And I saw you sent me or you tagged me
Speaker 1: in another video on TikTok of another bakery but up
Speaker 1: at like Maitland, which is like a bit further away
Speaker 1: than Newie, but only like thirty minutes. And what was it?
Speaker 3: A sausage roll with mashed potato on top?
Speaker 2: I think, so I can't remember.
Speaker 1: Now you tag me and said where on?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're going to have to come to new
Speaker 1: and we do want a food food tour?
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely count me in. I'm getting Javoo. By the way,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've just had a real big day
Speaker 2: Javoo moment. Yeah. Oh, that's how busy life has been lately.
Speaker 2: I haven't even seen the new final destination, by the way.
Speaker 2: That's how busy I've been. Is that going to be?
Speaker 1: That's my royal flush. We'll get onto that. We'll get
Speaker 1: onto that. But I actually do have just a bit
Speaker 1: of a rant saying that's rand of the week now.
Speaker 2: Wakes all up for this Tuesday morning match, Rind of
Speaker 2: the week, Round of the week.
Speaker 1: I've got a bone to pick. Okay, the first bone
Speaker 1: that I've got to pick is with myself in April,
Speaker 1: and it is cutting it fine with flights is never
Speaker 1: fucking worth it, you know how, when you're like, so,
Speaker 1: for example, we've been planning this trip, this book two
Speaker 1: that we were going on and we were like flying
Speaker 1: into Melbourne doing the event in the night, and then
Speaker 1: we'd go yep, and then let's fly out in the
Speaker 1: night to save like you know, staying the night and
Speaker 1: then having to do the whole thing in the morning.
Speaker 1: So for like all three nights that we flew out,
Speaker 1: which was like three nights in a row, basically we
Speaker 1: just picked like the flight that we were basically just
Speaker 1: going to make after the event, Like you know, if
Speaker 1: we run out of the event at eight, get there
Speaker 1: at eight, forty flights at nine to forty kind of thing, Jesus,
Speaker 1: and it's never it's not worth it. Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: thought that's going to be the best use of our
Speaker 1: time because we'll just be in and out done.
Speaker 3: And it was fine, and we were on time every
Speaker 3: single time.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the thing that slowed us down
Speaker 1: and you'll love this, Matt all the automated check in
Speaker 1: machines at Melbourne Airport and Brisbane Airport. So for context,
Speaker 1: as you all know, I'm from Newcastle. Newcastle is a
Speaker 1: little airport. It's getting the upgrade at the moment though
Speaker 1: we all know that, but it's manual. So you go
Speaker 1: there and you go up to the person that drops
Speaker 1: your bag for you. There's none of the automatic bag
Speaker 1: drop machines, but you know like Sydney and all the
Speaker 1: big ones, like they've got all the machines and you
Speaker 1: print your bag tag yourself and you send a suitcase off.
Speaker 1: It was those stupid machines that was the reason why,
Speaker 1: like we nearly missed our flight every time. Like why
Speaker 1: I get having it for convenience, but it's so clunky
Speaker 1: and then when it's going wrong, like there's no one
Speaker 1: standing there to help. Yeah, I don't get it, Like
Speaker 1: I'm all for a machine that's going to make things faster.
Speaker 1: But we got stuck at those things for like fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes and no one was there because it's like put
Speaker 1: your bag on the thing. You put your bag on
Speaker 1: the thing, wrong bar code. I'm like, no, it's not
Speaker 1: it's literally the bar code that we just printed off.
Speaker 1: So then you take it off, then you put it
Speaker 1: back on, you take it off, put it back on.
Speaker 1: Aprils running around like a headless chicken trying to find
Speaker 1: someone that works there. But because it was nine point
Speaker 1: thirty at night, no one was there.
Speaker 2: Pissed me off.
Speaker 1: And that's my rant, Like I'm all for a machine
Speaker 1: that's going to make things go faster. But those things
Speaker 1: fucking slowed me down. And I just kept saying, April,
Speaker 1: if we were at Newcastle Airport, we'd just be getting
Speaker 1: checked in by a person bing bang bong through the gate.
Speaker 2: I every single time, will never ever use I don't
Speaker 2: even check in online on my phone before I you know,
Speaker 2: twenty four hours before you check in on your phone. No,
Speaker 2: because every time I fly, I've got check baggage anyway,
Speaker 2: Like I really, in the last ten years, I think
Speaker 2: I've had one flight that was carry on only. I
Speaker 2: always had checked baggage.
Speaker 1: Traveling with carry on only is the dream?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I can imagine, but I've got too many clothes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I take my hat off to people, like I
Speaker 1: can't believe people go overseas we carry on only.
Speaker 2: Bizarre. What do you mean. I've been watching this guy,
Speaker 2: Kevin Droniak. Do you remember Kevin Droniac. He was like
Speaker 2: a YouTuber and he did a lot with his nan
Speaker 2: back in the day. So he's like rebranded now as
Speaker 2: a travel vlogger of sorts, and he's been doing these
Speaker 2: one day trips because he's living in New York, so
Speaker 2: like the other day, I saw one where he did
Speaker 2: a one day trip to Rome and he flew from
Speaker 2: New York to Rome, and it was an overnight flight,
Speaker 2: so he slept all night. Then it was he landed
Speaker 2: in Rome at seven am, spent the whole day in Rome,
Speaker 2: and then at seven pm got back on the flight
Speaker 2: and slept all night to then wake up in New
Speaker 2: York the next morning. How far is the flight six
Speaker 2: or seven hours, I think from memory of the video.
Speaker 2: But then so good. I saw another one he did
Speaker 2: to Egypt and he just went and checked out the
Speaker 2: pyramids and then went and you know, I was talking
Speaker 2: to my friend Toby who's living in Spain, and he
Speaker 2: was saying he met some people from England who they'll
Speaker 2: just like fly to Majorca in Spain for the weekend.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, like we.
Speaker 1: Would like go to one thing about living in Australia,
Speaker 1: we are so far away from anything and everything, Like
Speaker 1: even going to Bali is six hours and then six
Speaker 1: hours of traffic. Yeah, we should get out of the
Speaker 1: airport seriously.
Speaker 2: And I was just like, this is so this is
Speaker 2: the one thing about Australia. We're so far away from
Speaker 2: everyone else. The fact that you know, because we're obviously
Speaker 2: planning that Europe trip. Whitch is coming around so fast.
Speaker 2: But I also assumed, you know, you see the girl
Speaker 2: is doing the euro summons and whatnot. I don't know
Speaker 2: anything about Europe, Like I don't remember learning anything about Europe.
Speaker 2: I don't remember I don't know the geography of Europe.
Speaker 2: You asked me where to see, say where some kind
Speaker 2: of I know, the one that looks like a boot
Speaker 2: is that Italy? Yeah, that's the only one I could
Speaker 2: tell you. And so we've been I wanted to go
Speaker 2: do Europe, and as I said on this podcast, it's
Speaker 2: like last travel vibes, I just want to go do
Speaker 2: it all so that I never have to travel again,
Speaker 2: can't be bothered or at least when I say traveling,
Speaker 2: I mean like the hiking of it all, and that
Speaker 2: not the hiking, but just like lug yes case around,
Speaker 2: like I'll go traveling in the future, but i'd want
Speaker 2: I don't want to be going from this country to
Speaker 2: that country. I just want to relax. So anyway, I
Speaker 2: was like, let me just book all of Europe and
Speaker 2: do everything there is to do in this one five
Speaker 2: six week trip, right every single country.
Speaker 3: Let us bang it all out traveling every day, babe.
Speaker 2: It's impossible. Like I didn't realize. People go to Europe
Speaker 2: and you go to like three four countries.
Speaker 1: You've got to pick your play.
Speaker 2: You just got to keep going back. It's a scam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a scam.
Speaker 2: You gotta keep going back to knock off all the countries.
Speaker 2: I can't be bothered doing that. So we've you know,
Speaker 2: we had to say goodbye to crow Aysha. We took
Speaker 2: that off the list.
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, I'll have to ask aj. He's been
Speaker 1: twice and done some big trips. I thought, like, he'll
Speaker 1: be able to give you some tips on like where
Speaker 1: is worth going awhere.
Speaker 2: Well, I've looked at the top decks and the kentikies,
Speaker 2: yeah things, and I looked at them and I thought this,
Speaker 2: you know, it's not really my scene. I've done a
Speaker 2: Kentique in America before, but that was fine because it
Speaker 2: was all hotels. The problem with Europe is it was
Speaker 2: like forty nights, thirty six of them in hostels, four
Speaker 2: of them in Now was it was like thirty six
Speaker 2: of them in shared accommodation and four of them in hostels.
Speaker 2: And I was like, what is the difference. I can't
Speaker 2: even imagine.
Speaker 1: I think I could ever stay in a hostel because I, like,
Speaker 1: I cannot have the sound of snoring.
Speaker 3: And what if you're in a shared room and people
Speaker 3: are snoring.
Speaker 2: You can get private rooms, I will say, I could
Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, you can get private rooms in a hostel,
Speaker 2: but obviously they just cost that. You may as well
Speaker 2: get a hotel. By the time you get a private,
Speaker 2: private room in a hostel, I will say, I stayed
Speaker 2: in a hostel in Los Angeles of all places, really
Speaker 2: and yeah this is back in I don't know, twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about America again? Oh? Sorry, I can't stop.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what it was the most fabulous experience,
Speaker 2: Like just meeting It wasn't fabulous at all. It was disgusting,
Speaker 2: but like, you know, just meet, just being able to
Speaker 2: meet people, Like people in hostels are like so keen
Speaker 2: to just chat? And what are you doing? Where are
Speaker 2: you going? You want to do something today? Like they've
Speaker 2: got no friends, so you know by blah and friend, well,
Speaker 2: you know, they're usually there by themselves. I was. I
Speaker 2: was with my friends, so I didn't need to hang
Speaker 2: out with anyone. But anyway, I met this a fabulous
Speaker 2: man who just had like one of He was just
Speaker 2: one of those men who had like a hundred stories
Speaker 2: to tell. And he gave me a chocolate flavored cigarette,
Speaker 2: and I'll never forget it, a chocolate flavored cigarette. Who
Speaker 2: knows where the bloody that came from? But he pulled
Speaker 2: it out and he said, do you want one? I thought,
Speaker 2: I'm on holiday, we may as well, and I took above.
Speaker 2: It was chocolate flavored. I went, where have you got these?
Speaker 2: He goes, Oh, so he was doing the he was
Speaker 2: doing the chocolate cigarette, and I just thought that was
Speaker 2: the coolest thing ever. And that is that is what
Speaker 2: hostels are to me. Chocolate cigarettes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 2: Anyway, how did we even.
Speaker 1: Get onto tour f cutting it fine?
Speaker 3: It's not worth ever cutting it fine?
Speaker 2: So what was happening? You were stressed, obviously, But it
Speaker 2: was the machines.
Speaker 1: The machine slowed us down every time, like we were
Speaker 1: on time. We ran to the machines and we got
Speaker 1: to the machines, and then there was fifteen minutes of
Speaker 1: the machine not working, not printing the bag tag right,
Speaker 1: putting it on the thing, wrong, bar codes, detected move
Speaker 1: your bag tag, you know, because it goes through the
Speaker 1: laser thing and no one around. Yes, and then I'm
Speaker 1: like stressed, and I'm like April, go fight someone, and
Speaker 1: she's just like panic, like running around the airport.
Speaker 3: It's like nine point thirty, so like no one's there.
Speaker 2: See, I'm the type of person I don't do any
Speaker 2: of that automated stuff.
Speaker 1: That was their only option because it was so late
Speaker 1: at night, like all the big actual checking bits were
Speaker 1: closed and no one was there because it was like
Speaker 1: the last flight out.
Speaker 2: Which is bizarre, isn't it, because where are they? Like,
Speaker 2: if you're going to make the audio madd things, you
Speaker 2: need someone sitting there. But I'm that person who's so defiant,
Speaker 2: Like I still I did the groceries just two days ago.
Speaker 2: I went and I lined up at that at the
Speaker 2: only one where there was someone actually serving the groceries,
Speaker 2: and there were six of us with full trolleys, and
Speaker 2: the workers kept coming over, and there were four of
Speaker 2: the automatic because you know, now they've actually installed automatic
Speaker 2: what do you call it when bell? Yeah, yeah, they've
Speaker 2: installed automatic ones of those, So you literally are playing
Speaker 2: checkout check. It's not like when you go in the
Speaker 2: little one where there's the little registers, like you've got
Speaker 2: a whole conveyor belt now, right, so you can put
Speaker 2: the whole trolley there and you can do all your
Speaker 2: shopping or you don't? Do you collect?
Speaker 1: Now? I just do ubery.
Speaker 2: I'll see that could never be me because I love
Speaker 2: being in the super market and I love finding the specials. Matt.
Speaker 1: That's made me think, yeah, should we right now expose
Speaker 1: each other's uber eats and how many we've ordered? How
Speaker 1: many times?
Speaker 2: Let's get to it.
Speaker 1: Okay, No, but I'm actually scared because I saw, like,
Speaker 1: like I've seen like Lucy Jackson and all them do it,
Speaker 1: and Lucy Jackson was like eight hundred or something, and
Speaker 1: I saw m Davies was twelve hundred.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I think mine's going to be more.
Speaker 2: I don't reckon I'll be that high. To be honest,
Speaker 2: i'd reckon I'd only have a couple hundred. But let's
Speaker 2: get there, okay. Anyway, I'm so defiant. I literally stood
Speaker 2: there with the other six people with full trolleys and
Speaker 2: we were all happy to wait, even though it was
Speaker 2: the only one that was serving and the other four
Speaker 2: were empty. The self served conveyor belt ones were empty,
Speaker 2: and the workers kept coming over and saying, you want
Speaker 2: to come over and use this, and we all politely
Speaker 2: kept saying, no, thanks, We're happy to wait here. I
Speaker 2: just I've just walked around every fucking eye all for
Speaker 2: an hour, paying through the fucking nose for these groceries.
Speaker 2: I'm paying through the roof for this trolley. I've had
Speaker 2: to then line up, and you want me to do
Speaker 2: my groceries myself. Yeah, are your paying attacks and super
Speaker 2: as well? Your motherfuckers, Like, let's get serious please, So
Speaker 2: I'll take the server every single time, and the same
Speaker 2: thing at the airports. I never check in. I always
Speaker 2: go up and I will line up. I mean to
Speaker 2: be fair, though, I ampends on how long the line is. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm oh, you're a premium economy kind of person. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: like I've got a business class. Yeah no, what's your
Speaker 2: I'm platinum status because I fly so much, so I
Speaker 2: do get straight to the front, I will admit, But oh,
Speaker 2: isn't it a nightmare when there's at least four people
Speaker 2: in the in the business line, I'm like, fucking no,
Speaker 2: we're waiting forever over here.
Speaker 1: I meanwhile, there's like twenty rows deep.
Speaker 2: Oh fuck.
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing about traveling as well, like
Speaker 1: long traveling, but like is it all worth it in
Speaker 1: the end, Like especially when you're overseas US talking about
Speaker 1: America again, when you get to fucking customs off the
Speaker 1: fifteen hour flight and the line is like twenty rows
Speaker 1: deep and twenty kilometers long each way. Yeah, insufferable.
Speaker 2: All right, let's check out Uber eats.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, but I'm actually fucking terrified how many times
Speaker 1: I've ordered for Uber.
Speaker 3: It's because it's a lot. Let's take a guess.
Speaker 1: How many times do you think, genuinely you've ordered on
Speaker 1: Uber Eats.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say probably like seven hundred times. What
Speaker 2: about you?
Speaker 1: I think mine's going to be fifteen hundred or above.
Speaker 1: But I've got excuses. I'm a CEO and I always
Speaker 1: order for everyone on every work trick. Yeah right, okay,
Speaker 1: let's go in. We need to figure out.
Speaker 2: Let's expose how many times we've ordered a breats.
Speaker 3: It's supporting small businesses.
Speaker 2: Sure, I always order.
Speaker 3: From small businesses on they're not the big corporations.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is your one. I'm having a look where.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me yet. Does this include like ubers as
Speaker 1: well or is it just uber eats? Because I can
Speaker 1: see how many trips you've taken.
Speaker 2: I can see how many trips you've taken as well.
Speaker 1: How many trips do you think you've taken?
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm gonna say I do a lot of ubree
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say twelve.
Speaker 1: Hundred, No, five hundred and ninety five?
Speaker 2: Oh, what you've taken more than me?
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 2: Seven hundred?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 3: And I can see how many times you've ordered uber
Speaker 3: eats too. It's just a little bit down.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you see mine?
Speaker 2: I'm having a look.
Speaker 1: I can see your rating as well.
Speaker 2: Well. I want to see your rating.
Speaker 1: I'm scared.
Speaker 2: This can't be right. This cannot be right. How many
Speaker 2: times have I ordered Uber eats? I said, what? Seven hundred?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: What did I say? Originally? Seven hundred?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How many times?
Speaker 1: Four hundred and seventy?
Speaker 2: That doesn't seem right, That doesn't seem there was a
Speaker 2: point I was ordering Uber eats three times a day
Speaker 2: for a solid four months, for a solid former.
Speaker 3: How many times my guess was like fifteen hundred times?
Speaker 2: Nowhere close? You're you've nowhere close you've ordered with It's
Speaker 2: five hundred and fourteen times. Something's gone wrong here. I
Speaker 2: don't reckon, because I for sure have I mean, wow, what.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a good thing. We're not as bad spenders
Speaker 1: as we thought. Okay, can you see my uber ride rating?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What do you think you're at? I reckon? I'm
Speaker 2: a four point seven.
Speaker 3: Oh you're better. It's four point eight three.
Speaker 2: What are you?
Speaker 1: Four point three?
Speaker 2: No, you're a four point eight two.
Speaker 1: Oh, so we're basically the same.
Speaker 2: But click view my ratings and then you guess how
Speaker 2: many one star ratings you've gotten?
Speaker 1: Where is that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, I'm scared.
Speaker 2: Okay, how many one star ratings do you think you've got?
Speaker 1: Fifteen? O?
Speaker 2: What is it? I'm gonna say eleven, you've got twelve?
Speaker 2: What have I got?
Speaker 1: Seven? And you know what I will say? I reckon
Speaker 1: every single time I've gotten those one star ratings on Uber.
Speaker 1: It's when other people have been in the car after
Speaker 1: a night out.
Speaker 2: Don't you hate when you book an uber and it's
Speaker 2: on your account and then you get in to the
Speaker 2: uber with your.
Speaker 3: Friend and they're the one being crazy.
Speaker 2: You're ready, like fucking hell, fu fuck from there and
Speaker 2: you go. My rating is every.
Speaker 1: Time, And I remember there was another time where I
Speaker 1: had a really rude There would be one time when
Speaker 1: it was me, but I had an argument with a
Speaker 1: guy in the uber about something I don't know that
Speaker 1: made me think that I wonder if that guy that
Speaker 1: kidnapped us that time in America gave us a one star,
Speaker 1: because I reckon one of those would.
Speaker 2: At least be in well true.
Speaker 1: Well anyway, I'm.
Speaker 2: Kind of driver ratings. Oh you've strive. A rating is
Speaker 2: unavailable because you've had fewer than ten rated trips. You
Speaker 2: never rate your I never rate.
Speaker 1: I can't be bothered, like I can't be to do
Speaker 1: work once I'm outside of the uber.
Speaker 3: The riot's done, you've had it.
Speaker 2: Here's your data. You have a look at your data
Speaker 2: for the and let me have a look at my
Speaker 2: data again for the trips. Okay, this was a fun exercise.
Speaker 3: So I got nineteen four stars, I've got six.
Speaker 2: I got eleven three stars, same six two stars, I've
Speaker 2: got four. You know, I think those one stars that
Speaker 2: were just homophobia, because why are you Why would I
Speaker 2: genuinely be rated one star? I've never been late for.
Speaker 1: An Uber neither. I think it's honestly the drunken ubers.
Speaker 1: I reckon that's the times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then it's someone else's fault.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, because we're never rowdy.
Speaker 2: I reckon they're just homophobic surely because I don't think
Speaker 2: I've ever acted any type of way. Neither have I
Speaker 2: in a n Uber.
Speaker 1: I don't say anything in an Uber. Like the only
Speaker 1: time I ever say anything is when I'm like having
Speaker 1: conversations with other people that I've gotten in the uber wiz,
Speaker 1: but usually just go hello and that's it. Like I'm
Speaker 1: not a conversationalist in an Uber.
Speaker 2: Did you know that Uber drivers have to maintain you
Speaker 2: know how it's said that we had four point eight Yeah,
Speaker 2: Uber drivers have to maintain a rating of I think
Speaker 2: four point seven or above or you can't drive at all. Wow,
Speaker 2: you just get you get fired basically, See.
Speaker 1: What I always wonder, So like I don't know, like
Speaker 1: we both have four point eight two and four point
Speaker 1: eight three or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: I wonder if to drivers if that is considered bad,
Speaker 1: like maybe it is, like maybe they want people that
Speaker 1: are like four point nine or whatever. But then I
Speaker 1: wonder have they ever picked us up and been like, oh,
Speaker 1: here we go. Here's a four point eight girl. And
Speaker 1: then I get in and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like hello, yeah, and they're like, how has she gotten
Speaker 3: such a bad race?
Speaker 2: Well? Maybe because every single time I get in, I'm
Speaker 2: hello for Matthew, Hi, how are you going? Yes?
Speaker 1: Thank you ta, I get canceled on quite a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I do know that because one of my
Speaker 2: friends is an uber driver. And basically how it comes
Speaker 2: up is it depends on your status as well. Some
Speaker 2: of them are really if you do a lot of
Speaker 2: trips and you have a good reading, you get certain privileges, right,
Speaker 2: So what it will say is it comes up that.
Speaker 1: In per privileges, well, this is a hunger game spy.
Speaker 2: Basically, like if you just just standard uber driver, I
Speaker 2: think you just get given a trip and it'll say
Speaker 2: like trip four minutes away, and you'll say yes, and
Speaker 2: then you go there and then you learn where you're
Speaker 2: going and how long it's going to take. But then
Speaker 2: there's another level where you can see four minutes away
Speaker 2: to where you pick them up seventeen minute trip right,
Speaker 2: whether it's worth And.
Speaker 1: That's when I get canceled and I reckon when it's
Speaker 1: only a short trip. I reckon, it's so unfair. But
Speaker 1: I've even gotten in taxis before, or like gone to
Speaker 1: get in a taxi and they're like yelling through the
Speaker 1: window saying where you're going, where you're going, And then
Speaker 1: I've been like I'm going X y Z and they go, nuh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just get in. Yeah, they can't refuse you just
Speaker 2: get before though, no, say no, you can't refuse me
Speaker 2: and start and say I'll report you if you don't
Speaker 2: take me. Taxis are legally obligated. I mean google this
Speaker 2: and make sure. But I know that taxis aren't allowed
Speaker 2: to price gouch.
Speaker 1: Which have you seen that on the news lately?
Speaker 2: We took like a six seven minute trip and it
Speaker 2: was thirty dollars and I just paid it because I
Speaker 2: just wasn't in the mood to fight him. But I
Speaker 2: think it was like eleven. Our trip was like eleven
Speaker 2: dollars and then as soon as I went to pay,
Speaker 2: it's jumped up to thirty and I went, ye.
Speaker 1: I saw that on the news the other day. They
Speaker 1: scam some guy in Brisbane.
Speaker 2: They scam everyone, the taxi drivers.
Speaker 3: They just but they've been under fire, like on the news.
Speaker 2: Well then not allowed to, and they are also not
Speaker 2: allowed to say no, I'm not I'm not taking you there.
Speaker 1: But I hate that ubers can They must be able
Speaker 1: to see how far we're going, and then they cancel
Speaker 1: and you get another driver.
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's the four point eight because
Speaker 2: I think if because I every time I open the door,
Speaker 2: I'm like, hello Uber for Matthew, Yes, thank you Tay, Yes,
Speaker 2: that's where we're going. Thank you so much. Thanks. When
Speaker 2: I get out of the car, I'm like, thank you
Speaker 2: so much, have a great day, bye, see you later.
Speaker 2: Even if they don't say a word back to me
Speaker 2: the entire time. Half the time they're on the phone anyway,
Speaker 2: so it's like, oh my god. I actually had an
Speaker 2: Uber driver like two months ago who was watching NCIS
Speaker 2: on his phone.
Speaker 1: I had an Uber driver one time. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I put it on my story, but he was
Speaker 1: he had his phone like up in a hold of thing.
Speaker 1: He must have had like two phones, like one with
Speaker 1: the map and another phone, and I was watching over
Speaker 1: his shoulder and he was like flicking through TikTok oh
Speaker 1: and I reported him.
Speaker 2: You know, I saw so many drivers in America on
Speaker 2: their phones. Which was so bizarre to me. But then
Speaker 2: I'm like, is everyone in Australia doing that? Because I
Speaker 2: don't touch my phone, never have, never will when I drive.
Speaker 2: And my thing is, you know, when I was in
Speaker 2: the coach on the way to Coachella and stuff, like,
Speaker 2: I was in the bus, so I was just like
Speaker 2: people watching all the cars driving.
Speaker 1: Pass and everyone was on their phone.
Speaker 2: Like almost like more people than not.
Speaker 1: I wonder if they don't get in trouble the same
Speaker 1: way that we do here. I don't know, Okay, they
Speaker 1: don't police it as much.
Speaker 2: They might not have like the cameras, like obviously we
Speaker 2: have the cameras that can just be set up anywhere
Speaker 2: and they don't have to tell you where they are
Speaker 2: and stuff. And yeah, I don't know. Just bizarre that
Speaker 2: so many people were using their phone in America. That's
Speaker 2: one thing I noticed is a lot of people use
Speaker 2: their phone, especially in La of all places, it was
Speaker 2: La Very La was phones while driving, like texting apes. Anyway,
Speaker 2: we've been waffling nine and nine and nine and no
Speaker 2: we haven't even got to Royal Flush yet. Let's move on.
Speaker 2: Please please be upstanding for the Royal Flush.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to start with my royal flush.
Speaker 1: Yeah please, Okay, So my royal flush of the week.
Speaker 1: It's it's not really something that I saw on the internet,
Speaker 1: but I put it on the internet and everyone found
Speaker 1: it very funny, so I feel like I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: use this as my royal flash. I did tell her
Speaker 1: this when this was happening. I was saying, this is
Speaker 1: my royal flush of the fucking week. But this happened
Speaker 1: when we were away, so we haven't recorded after it
Speaker 1: or as it was happening. It was April being a
Speaker 1: little bit hungover and us having to check out of
Speaker 1: our hotel. I love that this was definitely not a
Speaker 1: viral moment on the internet, but it's just my fucking
Speaker 1: royal flush. Anyway. I'm sure everyone's seen the video. It's
Speaker 1: on TikTok and on my Instagram as well. But basically,
Speaker 1: we were away for our book two a week and
Speaker 1: like we had the weekend off in Brisbane, and what
Speaker 1: April gets up to on the weekend none of my business, okay.
Speaker 1: And so we went out for dinner like with one
Speaker 1: of our like one of the girls. Oh, Shay, shout
Speaker 1: out to Shaye. I don't know if she listens to
Speaker 1: the pod. But we went out with the influencer creator
Speaker 1: model that we work with with Fate, and then then
Speaker 1: we met up with a couple of other girls that
Speaker 1: we both knew, and then I was like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to go home, like I've had enough, and April was
Speaker 1: like I'm going to stay out. I'm like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: stay out, have fun. It's the weekend, like do whatever
Speaker 1: you like.
Speaker 3: And then the next morning, we.
Speaker 1: Had to check out of our hotel and isn't that
Speaker 1: the worst When you've had like a big night out,
Speaker 1: you've got to check out at the hotel. And I
Speaker 1: just remember thinking I'm going to bed because we're checking
Speaker 1: out at eleven. And then we had a work event
Speaker 1: on but on like later in the night at five pm,
Speaker 1: and so April woke up just feeling really sorry for herself.
Speaker 1: I was not fucking envious at that whatsoever. And She's like,
Speaker 1: I just feel like I need to have a nap.
Speaker 1: And then I'll be sweet like she's just like I'm
Speaker 1: just so tired. Yeah, And I'm like we're checking out
Speaker 1: and we've got like a six hour gap, like what
Speaker 1: the fuck do we do? And we were going to
Speaker 1: Westfield and I was like, oh, like, I just thought
Speaker 1: I was just trying to think of anything, Like I
Speaker 1: was googling like little capsule pod things like I'm like,
Speaker 1: maybe Westfield Term site has like a little pod sleeping area.
Speaker 1: I don't know that, I don't have it. But I thought, well,
Speaker 1: why don't you just go to the movies, book a
Speaker 1: movie and just relaxing there for a couple of hours.
Speaker 1: And so that's what she did. And so like, we're
Speaker 1: not really avid movie goers, and I had heaps of
Speaker 1: work to do anyway, so I was like, I'll just
Speaker 1: chill in Westfield at a little cafe for a few hours.
Speaker 1: I'll do some work, you go to the movies, and
Speaker 1: then i'll see you later at nighttime when the event's happening.
Speaker 1: So off she goes, and I'm like, that's perfect. Just
Speaker 1: lay in the corner. She booked the seat right in
Speaker 1: the top corner so she can just like relax. The
Speaker 1: movie was Final Destination, which isn't very a relaxing movie,
Speaker 1: but it was like all that was on or something,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was a Sunday and April messages
Speaker 1: me once she's in there, and I was cracking up.
Speaker 3: Just the thought of her going to the movies anyway,
Speaker 3: Like it's so timely.
Speaker 2: It is if you just want to sleep or if you've.
Speaker 1: Got like if your flights landed at you know, six
Speaker 1: am in the morning and you can't check into your
Speaker 1: hotel until two pm in the afternoon. It is the
Speaker 1: perfect life pack. And so she's messaged me when she's in.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're in, and she's like yeah. But
Speaker 1: she quickly realized that she'd booked the four D X experience.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I didn't even know that was
Speaker 1: a thing.
Speaker 2: Like the seats shake and vibrate and yeah, your legs
Speaker 2: are like up in like I don't know, stirrups sort
Speaker 2: of things.
Speaker 1: And so she's messaging me, she's like, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: like I've booked the forty X thing. Meanwhile, she paid
Speaker 1: like thirty nine dollars for this ticket already, and she's
Speaker 1: like just not feeling well. And I was just in,
Speaker 1: like I had actual tears, like I'm reading a j
Speaker 1: just pissing at this whole thing. And then she said
Speaker 1: she went out of the like she got out of
Speaker 1: there before the movie started, and she went and booked
Speaker 1: another ticket for a normal sin.
Speaker 2: Which why didn't she get a refund?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think she was just too hungover
Speaker 1: that she couldn't do anything, like you know when you
Speaker 1: just everything is too hard.
Speaker 2: But that's the difference with me, because even if I'm
Speaker 2: hungover and it's the worst day of my life getting
Speaker 2: a refund, I'm still not spending money to im. Just
Speaker 2: because in the story you said, April came out and said, hey,
Speaker 2: I accidentally booked the wrong one, and the lady made
Speaker 2: her book and pay for another one.
Speaker 1: I was like, because she booked the first one on
Speaker 1: her phone, so she didn't buy it at the counter.
Speaker 2: I will say, I think that we need to have
Speaker 2: a resurgence of movies.
Speaker 3: In general, as in they need to come back.
Speaker 2: We just need to go to the movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: I think, like I know, it's real expensive to go
Speaker 2: to the movies in.
Speaker 1: Terms of the tickets being thirty nine dollars, wells to
Speaker 1: be nine.
Speaker 2: Dollars really that expensive?
Speaker 1: And then her second that was four DX. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: then the second one that she book was thirty okay
Speaker 1: for the normal cinema.
Speaker 2: Which still yeah, that is quite and if you're.
Speaker 1: Gone in like a family of fives. That's a lot.
Speaker 2: Surely they've got like a family discount or something. Let
Speaker 2: me go Google Girl on this because I actually I'm
Speaker 2: curious to see how much it costs. Well, my only
Speaker 2: thing is is that it's movies are a dying you know.
Speaker 2: And I think as well supporting small theaters as opposed
Speaker 2: to the massive, massive ones. And I love the massive one.
Speaker 1: I used to love going to the movies when we
Speaker 1: were kids, like that was nancying with us, like took
Speaker 1: us to the movies and we made a whole day
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirteen dollar tickets on cheap Tuesday.
Speaker 1: That's not too bad.
Speaker 2: Too bad at all, cheap Tuesday thirteen.
Speaker 1: I want to I'm with you. I would like going
Speaker 1: to the movies to become a thing again, because when
Speaker 1: we were kids, it was everything. And I feel like
Speaker 1: I've said this on the pod before, but Nan used
Speaker 1: to take us to the movies at Charlestown and she
Speaker 1: would take us to Go Low before. Have I told
Speaker 1: this story? I feel like I have.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: So it was back when Go Lo was a thing, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, can we please bring back Go Low?
Speaker 3: Whatever happened to Go Low? It used to be the
Speaker 3: highlight of my life.
Speaker 2: Gone there, But I like the reject show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, but we would go there and get like
Speaker 1: five dollars each, and we don't be able to go
Speaker 1: and buy like a little toy and take it to
Speaker 1: the movies with us. Just the highlight. And you know
Speaker 1: when they used to have like the lolly walls in
Speaker 1: the movies and then you would like make your own
Speaker 1: bag of mixed lollies. I miss that.
Speaker 2: I'm having to look here, choo seats, yeah, press seed okay?
Speaker 2: An adult? An adult to see Lelo and Stitch on
Speaker 2: Wednesday is nineteen dollars fifty for an adult.
Speaker 1: I think it's too much.
Speaker 2: Seventeen dollars for a child. See, I don't know if
Speaker 2: that is too much. I mean, if you have a
Speaker 2: concession or a student, that's eighteen dollars. A senior is
Speaker 2: nineteen dollars. That's fucking expensive. Gee yeah, I don't know, okay.
Speaker 2: And then an online booking fee of a dollar seventy
Speaker 2: per ticket. Hoints Rewards members get up to twenty five
Speaker 2: percent off tickets though, but I think you got to
Speaker 2: pay to be a Hoints Rewards member anyway. The point
Speaker 2: is I'm saying, yes, I know that's expensive. And then
Speaker 2: of course when you do your popcorn and your drink,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's ridiculous. They're charging fifteen dollars for a
Speaker 2: fountain side. I get a fucking grip Hoints. But I
Speaker 2: will say, no one cares like Hoints. If you're going
Speaker 2: to spend pay that much for popcorn and a drink,
Speaker 2: then you've got to let us bring in our snacks.
Speaker 1: But I always have I always just don't them. No,
Speaker 1: I just walking with a bag of.
Speaker 2: Groceries basically for sure.
Speaker 1: Haven't you think I've seen videos of people like taking.
Speaker 2: A full meal in Yeah, charcuterie board. We used to
Speaker 2: do that. We do. We'd go to what was that
Speaker 2: in the food court there at Westfield Tagua all those
Speaker 2: years ago. There was some sort of like it was
Speaker 2: like an a porter or something. I don't know whether
Speaker 2: it was a porto. Yeah, we don't get that. And
Speaker 2: taken in the movies.
Speaker 3: She used to go to Mingara, Mingara.
Speaker 1: You know what do you call the thing at Mingara with.
Speaker 2: Minara food court?
Speaker 1: Yeah, go to Mingara food court and then go.
Speaker 2: To the movie. Even a drive in movie, wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: a drive.
Speaker 1: In one of newcastles shut down a little while ago.
Speaker 2: Is that the Head and Great Way? Yes?
Speaker 1: But anyway, my royal flush was just April accidentally booking
Speaker 1: the four D movie when she just wanted to have
Speaker 1: a little relaxing moment and just the whole thing. We
Speaker 1: shared it on social media and since then I've been
Speaker 1: getting my four you page serving me videos of people
Speaker 1: in the four DX movie and actually what it's like,
Speaker 1: like the chairs fully fucking shaking, and I just.
Speaker 2: Go and do the four I don't know if I'd
Speaker 2: like it, Yeah, you'd get motion sick man.
Speaker 3: But also like what's your drink and popcorn doing?
Speaker 1: As your chair? It's like you're on a roller coaster.
Speaker 1: And also they've built a whole cinema for the four
Speaker 1: D X experience. Like how popular is that going to be?
Speaker 1: And for how long?
Speaker 3: Because that would be so expensive to build.
Speaker 2: You know what, I've just had an idea everyone, we
Speaker 2: should make a movement this Christmas? All right, stick with
Speaker 2: me here, Yeah, we should make a movement this Christmas
Speaker 2: that when you don't know what to get for someone,
Speaker 2: you get them a movie voucher.
Speaker 3: But I reckon it's one of those things that people
Speaker 3: would just never use.
Speaker 2: Too bad. At least we're support in the movies, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Yeah, because you're right, I've been
Speaker 2: getting but it's not a good it's not a good
Speaker 2: present for me. The last two three years, my mum
Speaker 2: has gotten me a Hoists voucher or is it? Maybe
Speaker 2: it's the other one. What's the other one? Greater Union
Speaker 2: event event cinemas. It's one of them.
Speaker 1: Ready.
Speaker 2: She keeps scenting me the movie and I actually say
Speaker 2: to her at last Christmas, stop getting me these. I
Speaker 2: haven't used any of the last ones that you gave
Speaker 2: me because I go to all the premieres. So it's
Speaker 2: a silly gift to get mad because I don't go
Speaker 2: to the movies because any movie that I want to
Speaker 2: watch I've usually been invited to anyway, so I've already
Speaker 2: seen it, and the ones the premierees I don't go to.
Speaker 2: I've got an Neil interest in.
Speaker 1: So the life of an influencer.
Speaker 2: Trying an influencer for a day, it's very difficult, having
Speaker 2: to say yes and no all these things. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: guess that is kind of It is easier for me
Speaker 2: to sit here and say God and support the movies
Speaker 2: when I haven't paid for a movie, but I'm for it.
Speaker 1: I want the movie to come back like I don't
Speaker 1: know if I've said this on the podcast, but my
Speaker 1: nan her first job when she was a little teenager,
Speaker 1: I have it was being an usher ret at the movies,
Speaker 1: and that's when the movies was so fancy that you
Speaker 1: wore your best clothes, their best classes them in and
Speaker 1: it was like a whole experience. Whilst I don't want
Speaker 1: the movies to turn back into that, because I can't
Speaker 1: think of anything worse than wearing like a nice outfit
Speaker 1: to the movies, I do want going to the movies
Speaker 1: to become more of a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would be interested to see what
Speaker 2: the likes of Gold Class are like, because I remember
Speaker 2: when I first went to Gold Class. I remember it
Speaker 2: being spectacular.
Speaker 1: I quite like Gold Class. I don't think I've been
Speaker 1: two or three times in my.
Speaker 2: Life, and they made gorgeous food.
Speaker 1: And I like it. I think the only thing that's
Speaker 1: annoying is like but it's part of the service, like
Speaker 1: that there's always people walking up and down the aisles.
Speaker 1: But I will say to the people that work in
Speaker 1: Gold Class you're very good at walking up and downstairs
Speaker 1: in the dark, being very quiet, Like I always watched
Speaker 1: them and they're like so light footed. Yeah, I'll be
Speaker 1: too scared of fucking tripping down. It's pitch black in there.
Speaker 1: How do they do it?
Speaker 2: I wonder if the wonder if the customer service is
Speaker 2: still up to scratch or whether well, look like all
Speaker 2: customer service.
Speaker 3: Let's add it to hours going down here, let's add
Speaker 3: it to hour to do this.
Speaker 1: We're going to the drive through Indian from the Lassie,
Speaker 1: We're going to the bakery up at Maitland for this.
Speaker 2: But you're the one with like the schedule, like you
Speaker 2: can't make these promises because I now I am like, let's
Speaker 2: fucking go, like I'm ready for the And also I'm
Speaker 2: in a content creator era. Everyone I am so inspired lately.
Speaker 2: It's weird. I'm like, I can't get enough of fucking.
Speaker 1: Hope you're inspired. That's your job to make content.
Speaker 2: Ten years on though, oh yeah, but some you know,
Speaker 2: there were parts where I go a week without making
Speaker 2: a video because can't be fucking about that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you got your mojo back to do
Speaker 1: your actual job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you all, I've made a video every
Speaker 2: single day, at least one video every single day this
Speaker 2: year in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: And we're now in almost June.
Speaker 1: I wish I could say the same.
Speaker 2: And I've made a video every single day. Try being
Speaker 2: an influence for a day ful. I'm slam and myself.
Speaker 2: You know, where's my annual labe go on a holiday?
Speaker 2: Still work in the old bloody time because if you
Speaker 2: didn't know, I didn't go to America just now?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, I can tell us all about
Speaker 1: it please.
Speaker 2: I think I was slack off in Europe though I
Speaker 2: think I will. I think one a day. Fuck that shit,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, I just want to be laying in Greece.
Speaker 1: Are you going to drink there?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Being sobers off the cards? Everyone's sorry. Pig
Speaker 2: update four years, big update, four years.
Speaker 1: She did send me a bit a photo of yourself
Speaker 1: the other day with a drink in your hand.
Speaker 2: You said, fuck it, Fuck that was a long week.
Speaker 2: See that's the problem is, you know what, I actually
Speaker 2: saw a TikTok about this. It could be my royal flush,
Speaker 2: but it's not. But like it was on a serious note.
Speaker 2: It was like the the only thing. How did she
Speaker 2: word it? She said something like the problem with alcoholism
Speaker 2: is the only cure is alcohol, and I was like,
Speaker 2: she's she worded it much better than that. Anyway, The
Speaker 2: point is it's really annoying because basically I got to
Speaker 2: the end of the week and I don't want to
Speaker 2: perpetuate that idea that like you get in the week,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have it, you're gonna have it. It was
Speaker 2: one of those fucking weeks and I was like shit,
Speaker 2: so I went. It was a night. I went to
Speaker 2: the AFL with my friends, which, by the way, that
Speaker 2: is camp. So you know how I've been saying we
Speaker 2: need to do more activities and not just to catch up.
Speaker 2: So that was actually for my friend's birthday, and so
Speaker 2: she wanted to go to the AFL. And of course,
Speaker 2: I think I've been to like one AFL game in
Speaker 2: my life, and it was like the Pride Round, So
Speaker 2: it really wasn't like a good taste of what the
Speaker 2: actual AFL is because the only people in the audience
Speaker 2: are like days. So I went to the AFL and
Speaker 2: I'd had a week and I just got and I
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, it's my friend's birthday. I'm
Speaker 2: in a shitty, shitty mood. It's been a big week.
Speaker 2: It was one of those weeks where everything was happening
Speaker 2: at once and there was just a million things to
Speaker 2: do right up until five thirty pm on a Friday,
Speaker 2: and I was just clocked off and I was like,
Speaker 2: fucking hell, it's been a week. Then I was like, right,
Speaker 2: it's my friend's birthday. I've got a live and up.
Speaker 2: We've got to have a good time. And I was
Speaker 2: just trying to get myself in that mood, and my
Speaker 2: mind was still going a million miles an hour, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I can't, I can't. I can't do it.
Speaker 2: I can't do it. We got to dinner, I said, girls,
Speaker 2: you know, because they knew I was going sober blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, and I was talking about and they were
Speaker 2: encouraging me not to. They were like, you know what, no,
Speaker 2: you know, if you really think you need to, then
Speaker 2: go ahead, but also you know you don't need to.
Speaker 2: You don't need to. And I was tossing up and
Speaker 2: I looked at the drinks manu and I thought, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 2: you know, be good. No, we won't, we won't. We'll
Speaker 2: have a night at the AFL. I'm sure we can
Speaker 2: get through this. It'll be fine, it'll be fabulous. And
Speaker 2: the waiter said, can I get you any drinks? I said,
Speaker 2: a glass to Savvy b and a porn Star martini please.
Speaker 2: I just it was like robotic, it was like it
Speaker 2: just came out of me. So then, anyway, then I
Speaker 2: thought it was just one night, and unfortunately it was
Speaker 2: such a good decision, like I had the best time.
Speaker 1: Now I'm having deja vu. I swear to god, we
Speaker 1: just had We've had this exact conversation. Maybe in another life.
Speaker 2: Wow, like this is yeah, yeah, well there you go.
Speaker 2: So I unfortunately did have a good time, and I
Speaker 2: was like, well, that's kind of annoying because the whole
Speaker 2: point is, you know, I did don't want to rely
Speaker 2: on alcohol to have a good time, which I do
Speaker 2: believe I can have it without it. It was just
Speaker 2: that day. There was no fucking coming back anyway. Then
Speaker 2: I didn't drink again, and then your book event was
Speaker 2: on and everyone was like, why you're drinking. Why I said,
Speaker 2: this was a few days after that now, and I said,
Speaker 2: I'm not drinking, you know, being so blah blah, blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. And so I was like, I'll start again,
Speaker 2: start again, and then went out Thursday night, and unfortunately
Speaker 2: this one wasn't a conscious decision. But I got to
Speaker 2: an event and the waiter was just handing out glasses
Speaker 2: of rose, and I just forgot and I just took
Speaker 2: the glass and went, thank you, cheers, drank it, and
Speaker 2: then got halfway through the mouthful and went, fuck hell,
Speaker 2: I'm meant to be drinking.
Speaker 1: I just hate that when a glass of rose just
Speaker 1: ends up in my hand and then I'm sitting in
Speaker 1: it and then I realize what's happening.
Speaker 2: No, And I'm totally forgotten because I was so you know,
Speaker 2: enthrilled in the conversation, and then I got halfway through
Speaker 2: it and literally like my my hand is up to
Speaker 2: my mouth and I'm like, I'm looking at the ceiling
Speaker 2: taking the big sip of rose. It's because and I've gone,
Speaker 2: oh shit, I've been drinking.
Speaker 1: Me so like normalized in our culture.
Speaker 2: And then I thought, well, I may as fucking well
Speaker 2: just wrap myself off. But I will say that's been
Speaker 2: a really big eye opener is how many people go,
Speaker 2: what what do you mean? And I don't know whether
Speaker 2: it's just our culture or whether it's because I'm known
Speaker 2: for being such a big drinker, which I'm also like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be known as that. That's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: See, I'm just like neutral when it comes to drinking.
Speaker 1: Like I love like following that. I'm forgetting her name,
Speaker 1: but the girl Jewels Jewels, I love following her on girl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I love every time her video comes up. I
Speaker 1: watched the whole thing, Like I'm so intrigued by everything
Speaker 1: that she has to say and all of her stories
Speaker 1: and her like normalizing not drinking and her speaking about
Speaker 1: like how bad it actually is. But like when it
Speaker 1: comes to me when it comes to drinking, like I'm
Speaker 1: fine with it. I'm not the kind of person that
Speaker 1: like takes it too far. Like I'll go out for dinner,
Speaker 1: have a couple of drinks, and then be like that's enough,
Speaker 1: Like I know when to go home, Like so it's
Speaker 1: never a problem for me.
Speaker 2: It's like must be nice.
Speaker 1: I like going out for dinner with AJ and we'll
Speaker 1: have like a couple of glasses of red with our
Speaker 1: dinner and then we'll go home. Like I'm past like
Speaker 1: the I feel like the only time that I ever
Speaker 1: like would take it too far. Was like when I
Speaker 1: was in my clubbing era when I was like eighteen
Speaker 1: and nineteen and twenty. Got that out of my system
Speaker 1: and now I just like, like, I like just having fun,
Speaker 1: Like I like looking forward to going out for I
Speaker 1: just like going out for dinner and having a glass
Speaker 1: of wine to be honest, or like a cocktail first
Speaker 1: and then some glasses of wine. But it's not a
Speaker 1: problem for me anyway. Can we get onto your real
Speaker 1: flash because yeah, so true. The episode is nearly over
Speaker 1: aut capacity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, my real flusher can be a quick one,
Speaker 2: but it's kind of exciting. Basically, recently, I don't know
Speaker 2: how this happened, but Lizzo, friend of the pod, Friend
Speaker 2: of the Pod, Lizzo, Yeah, she has recently started a
Speaker 2: private TikTok, which a lot of people have been doing lately.
Speaker 2: I think it's quite fun. I think it's a great
Speaker 2: marketing technique. Actually, yeah, me too, because it deepens the
Speaker 2: parasocial relationship I guess with your followers.
Speaker 1: And there was a business that did this recently in Australia.
Speaker 1: They made a prime grilled grilled.
Speaker 2: That's right, that campaign, Sorry, did you love it?
Speaker 1: No, But I just remember seeing it and thinking that's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's something different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Grilled, like num numb numb love you.
Speaker 2: I thought that was like the worst marketing campaign I'd
Speaker 2: seen in quite some time, because they paid the influences
Speaker 2: to say I've been blocked by growled and like basically
Speaker 2: like lie and like make up a story, and they
Speaker 2: boosted all the ads, and I was like, I can
Speaker 2: just tell that all these motherfuckers are getting paid and
Speaker 2: they're being fake and it's embarrassing to watch. And also
Speaker 2: I don't care that the weight.
Speaker 1: If Grid had paid you, would you do it? No?
Speaker 2: One hundred percent no, because I never can lie like that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you'd you'd be able to tell, and I could tell
Speaker 2: with all of them, but I would say, happy to
Speaker 2: do it. But here's a different idea. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: saying the concept as a whole was dumb. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: obviously obviously it worked to get their followers up, but really, sickly,
Speaker 2: I was like, are we really following Grilled for a
Speaker 2: ten percent off?
Speaker 1: Is that what it was?
Speaker 2: But I don't know it was something like that anyway.
Speaker 2: The point is if it works, it works, and if
Speaker 2: it doesn't. It doesn't whatever. Love you grilled, but I
Speaker 2: just went this is cringey. Obviously it must have worked
Speaker 2: because you loved it. But Lizo has done this thing
Speaker 2: where she's got a new private TikTok and it's called
Speaker 2: Lizo Irl. Now I don't know how I ended up
Speaker 2: on this. I'm not sure where I discovered this, but
Speaker 2: she had Originally she had like fifty thousand people on it,
Speaker 2: and I was one of them. I can't tell you.
Speaker 2: I don't know if she did. You follow it, well, yes,
Speaker 2: but I can't remember if she, like the Lizo actually
Speaker 2: reposted it, whether it just came up on my account
Speaker 2: or what. But it's on private. But it was open
Speaker 2: for a tiny amount of time, like apparently like one hour.
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize I followed. Then she opened it
Speaker 2: again and it got to like one hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: seven thousand, and now she shut it and she said
Speaker 2: I will not ever open it again for no one,
Speaker 2: And I'm on it, and let me tell you. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: I cannot have my right to liszo irl revoked, so
Speaker 2: I'm not allowed because she's got rules in it, I'm
Speaker 2: not allowed to tell you what she's talking about specifically,
Speaker 2: but I'm sure I could let you in on some
Speaker 2: of the things she's talking about.
Speaker 1: As if people wouldn't be screened recording this and posting you.
Speaker 2: So people were and she has been able to figure
Speaker 2: out who it was and remove them. And she's like,
Speaker 2: if you leave a hate comment, if you blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: even if it's a joke, you will be removed. Like
Speaker 2: if you are screen recording.
Speaker 1: Fuck are they managing this?
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but it's evidently worked. And we're
Speaker 2: all in this like sacred little cult sort of thing
Speaker 2: where we respect Lizo's privacy. And I just wanted to
Speaker 2: let you know, scrollers, I'm in it, and that's my
Speaker 2: royal flush has been something that none of you will
Speaker 2: get to see unless you marrek Lesslie followed in time.
Speaker 2: But she is talking about Katie Perry. She's talking about Beyonce,
Speaker 2: she's talking about Bad Way, she's talking about the Illuminati.
Speaker 2: She's talking about like people are asking questions. She's all
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 1: Campaign and then she's going to like drop an album
Speaker 1: or some shit.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. No, she's not talking good.
Speaker 1: Or bad like, She's just that you're saying that you
Speaker 1: aren't allowed to talk about it, and here you are
Speaker 1: on our podcast, just fucking well, you know she's not
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 2: Listen to this. I haven't and I haven't said anything specific.
Speaker 2: Really she's talking to she's talking. She's talking about the
Speaker 2: industry as a whole, spill and secrets. Then of course
Speaker 2: we got we we get little behind the scenes there
Speaker 2: as well, like she recently just I think she might
Speaker 2: have like popped up at Scissor's concert or something like that,
Speaker 2: so she was doing all the behind the scenes stuff
Speaker 2: on Lizzo IRL. So we got all this content that
Speaker 2: like to look it up right now, no one else
Speaker 2: got try following and see if she accepts. But I've
Speaker 2: been watching the followers for about two weeks and they
Speaker 2: haven't moved at all. They've only gone down. Actually, so
Speaker 2: she's got.
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty seven thousand followers exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I just requested like flat one two seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was at one two seven nine last
Speaker 2: time I checked. So she's either removing people or people
Speaker 2: are unfollowing, but the number is going down. So Lizzo
Speaker 2: RRL is my royal flush.
Speaker 1: I loved it. You're in it.
Speaker 2: I'm in it. It's so random that I am in it.
Speaker 2: And also, you know what the most random thing is.
Speaker 2: She will post a video and it'll say like four
Speaker 2: hours ago, and it'll have two hundred likes and four comments,
Speaker 2: and I'm just in the comments.
Speaker 1: Gone, hey, it's pretty clever. Like, hey, it's pretty clever.
Speaker 2: I need more celebs to have close friends vibe profiles.
Speaker 2: I could never because the thing is, that's the different,
Speaker 2: that's the problem with me. I just put everything on
Speaker 2: the main you know. It's like when people go, oh,
Speaker 2: here's my second account where I just spam post, I'm
Speaker 2: doing that on main Sorry.
Speaker 1: Girls, easy didn't realize all in the one place.
Speaker 2: Anyway, this episode's probably been a whole lot of spam
Speaker 2: today because what have we even said? This again? This
Speaker 2: is the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got no podcast. I'm like, what, bitch.
Speaker 2: Actually, that's a good point. You know how we were
