Speaker 2: season that I ever played was that one season for
Speaker 2: North and it was it was really I really enjoyed
Speaker 2: it because it was.
Speaker 3: It was random and I wasn't planning on it, but
Speaker 3: it was a position that I just don't play, Like
Speaker 3: I just don't like that back line, but every other
Speaker 3: line was full, and I was kind of this rookie
Speaker 3: that came in that didn't have us Like they.
Speaker 1: Were like, what do you play?
Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I played school footy and I don't know.
Speaker 2: So I was in the back line.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I put in tech decks, but but now I'm
Speaker 4: in the midfield, which is where I feel like like
Speaker 4: I feel.
Speaker 3: Much more comfortable there. And it's really fun and it's
Speaker 3: a really awesome club. It's the same thing Melbourne Union
Speaker 3: affiliate was affiliated with North back in the day and
Speaker 3: to play with them now, so it's really really nice
Speaker 3: and really fun. And yeah, and that's pretty much been

Speaker 1: Book. Those who don't know Where's Anderson is a film
Speaker 1: director and he has a very distinctive style, and there's
Speaker 1: a TikTok trend at the moment which is like, don't
Speaker 1: make like what is it. It's like, you wouldn't make
Speaker 1: your day a day in the life looking like a
Speaker 1: Where's Anderson film? And then people do a day in
Speaker 1: the life in the exact style, like romanticizing a single
Speaker 1: thing that they do. And and did a sail in
Speaker 1: the fields with this beautiful velvet chair that she walked
Speaker 1: on her back. It was so thronny. That's what happened.
Speaker 2: Wh you give me creative freedom, whatever you think.

Speaker 3: remember that was with my.
Speaker 2: Parents a suitcase.

Speaker 1: But becoming me like I'm slow you feel about if
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, just the case I'm so proud of
Speaker 1: I've never used suitcase and it was mainly because I
Speaker 1: had to bring over a bunch of things like as gifts,
Speaker 1: but because it was work, I.
Speaker 3: Couldn't just like wear the same thing every single day,
Speaker 3: like come to me somewhat presentable.

Speaker 1: your traw trees in the pocket?
Speaker 3: My one loose rush the plane.
Speaker 1: That's like I was like, what's this in your jacket pocket?
Speaker 1: It's my toothbrush? Like that's so ill without like a
Speaker 1: cap on the bristle, Like that's so rank. I don't
Speaker 1: want to see it. I don't want to see it.
Speaker 1: That's like put that in your mouth, and I think
Speaker 1: I st it in my back. What is that movie
Speaker 1: where one of them has, oh, no, it's How Met
Speaker 1: Your Mother? Where they've got the toothbrush and she's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you know that's our toothbrush, and he's

Speaker 1: JA three, I've got one in every bag.
Speaker 2: The other day, my.
Speaker 1: Say, she goes, where are your toothbrushes?
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, there's one in that bag
Speaker 3: and I meant the toothbrush singular, I meant this bag
Speaker 3: and she found it in another bachel's huis.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm not that bag, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that works too. Can you please do a day in
Speaker 1: the life of Andrew's toothbrush like POV your and oh
Speaker 1: my god. So today Paul had a campaign. He's sitting
Speaker 1: here with us because, as you guys know, we're really lazy.
Speaker 1: We're recording this at home again instead of being bothered
Speaker 1: to go into the studio. So we had a campaign
Speaker 1: for Paul. We took him to Bunnings. He had to
Speaker 1: like brush his fur and he got to go through
Speaker 1: the new pet section and like Piggy's own little toys,
Speaker 1: and he was being filmed and I wanted to put
Speaker 1: a GoPro on his collar and do like POV you know,
Speaker 1: dog cam, like Poul cam, and we forgot to bring
Speaker 1: the go pro. So it was like, don't worry, I'll
Speaker 1: fake it. And I was like a kneeling in the aisles,
Speaker 1: running around trying to like bounce it up and down
Speaker 1: at the pace that he would be doing his little gallop.
Speaker 1: And this woman in the budding sales check, which is like,
Speaker 1: what is this a weird lady doing running up and
Speaker 1: down the aisles pretending to be a dog.
Speaker 3: I feel like we need to share the actual clip
Speaker 3: and then for context be like there was no dog.
Speaker 3: It was just bouncing this up and down. I didn't
Speaker 3: really like at the height of a dog. But no.
Speaker 2: So the Netherlands was really nice.
Speaker 1: It was for work.
Speaker 2: I was pretty tired.
Speaker 3: A part of it was like, oh, come by the
Speaker 3: going because everyone's like it'd be so fun, which it
Speaker 3: actually it was really beautiful. But I think I was
Speaker 3: like I've been in limbo for so long in terms
Speaker 3: of not in a single place, because you know, A
Speaker 3: resigned full time in October when for five weeks, came
Speaker 3: back for like three weeks, went away again for two weeks,
Speaker 3: came back in the house. In the meantime we had
Speaker 3: done some interstate trips like Sydney Bridge, been come back
Speaker 3: then Netherlands. Now finally back and for the foreseeable future,
Speaker 3: I don't know when I'm pretty like settled, which is nice.
Speaker 3: To know, but it said that every day was going
Speaker 3: to be sunny and twenty and so I was like, amazing,
Speaker 3: I'm going to pack shorts, singlets, t shirts, maybe even
Speaker 3: true bras.
Speaker 5: Little boobies can be, yeah, can be about to play
Speaker 5: and then there's perky nipples and then I get there chili.
Speaker 1: It was chili blue.
Speaker 3: Like I wasn't really it was actually it was cleaning.
Speaker 3: In some of the videos, it was like the weather
Speaker 3: had turned. It was how the chan tables if.
Speaker 2: The winds cha changers you know.
Speaker 1: That book, Yeah, when you change, it's so rare. It
Speaker 1: was so.
Speaker 3: Cold, like uncomfortably cold for particularly you know when you
Speaker 3: don't when you're not dressed appropriately and you're just cold.
Speaker 2: And because you're in the fields, there's no retreat. It's
Speaker 2: not like you can just.
Speaker 1: Go to a house.
Speaker 3: So the first five days it was just so cold,
Speaker 3: and I was trying to find my feet in terms
Speaker 3: of what to wear that I could wear and cycle
Speaker 3: in like, and then the weather turned out to be
Speaker 3: really beautiful and the two fields are really beautiful and
Speaker 3: it was just nice to be away. We got our
Speaker 3: own house and then we're like cycling everywhere, so it
Speaker 3: kind of felt like we could settle in almost as
Speaker 3: locals because we were cycling everywhere I've gone in the grocery,
Speaker 3: like cooking and eating.
Speaker 1: It's not like we were in hostels or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Now you have a suitcase, you come, now we have.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 3: One thing I'm really good at is if I packing,
Speaker 3: I packed once and I do like zero reviews. I
Speaker 3: just pack it once to close it.
Speaker 1: I'm done. Okay. Can we totally please talk about travel
Speaker 1: habits right now because I talk about.
Speaker 2: Okay, so me one time packer, done, don't one pack wander?
Speaker 3: Yeah, My my weight, my ability to guess wait, I
Speaker 3: feel like it's really.
Speaker 1: Good, you know what, My ability to guess if I've
Speaker 1: looked at a clock, my ability to guess how much
Speaker 1: time it's been since then. Like if I look at
Speaker 1: it like nine point thirty at ten twenty one, Nick
Speaker 1: would be like, what time is it, I'll be like
Speaker 1: about ten twenty, Like I've got this. That's like my
Speaker 1: weird skill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're also really shit at how many people
Speaker 3: atas oh, and also how many people are in the room.
Speaker 1: It's like how many people are in the mcg are
Speaker 1: two million? Yeah, Like seventeen, Like I have to fire.
Speaker 1: Are you what?
Speaker 2: Google map says seventeen? So about six minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on my way. Omw. Like an hour later,
Speaker 1: I'm like sorry camera, No, yeah, you're really good at
Speaker 1: So do you pack like the night do you panic
Speaker 1: pack like the night before, day of, day of?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, so I finished that.
Speaker 3: In this instance, I packed partly the night before, only
Speaker 3: because the next morning I had to actually do like
Speaker 3: a bit of work and stuff that was meant that
Speaker 3: I was going to be out of the house. But
Speaker 3: I packed and it was the limit was twenty three
Speaker 3: kilos and I had twenty three point one, oh my god.
Speaker 3: And mind you, there was a lot of it was
Speaker 3: like gifts Kim and ordered all these bonds stuff.
Speaker 1: Like all this stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was one pack I had like borrowed
Speaker 3: a scale and I kind of just like, you know,
Speaker 3: it's not ever really accurate though, particularly it's like two
Speaker 3: or three kilos here, and then you're like, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Because it weighing my thing. Yeah, go stand on it
Speaker 1: and like minus that number. Yeah, and it doesn't work.
Speaker 3: So twenty three point one on the amazing And every
Speaker 3: other time when I'm like.
Speaker 2: Doing carry on and stuff. I'm like six point nine
Speaker 2: seven point two. My god, I I think it's a skill.
Speaker 1: I could you know.
Speaker 3: Hami Shanani said, like, what's your secret skill? I feel
Speaker 3: like that's my skill anyway, All and doughsy On LinkedIn
Speaker 3: the other not habit, but the other discussion we wanted
Speaker 3: to bring up quite seriously because it's.
Speaker 1: Actually quite is why the middle seat on an airplane
Speaker 1: is hell?
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what it's.
Speaker 2: I put a pole up on a pole, a pole
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 1: Pole in your house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, p O A pole a pole. That's exactly what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Pole pole, like a street pole. It's this
Speaker 3: you said, pole pole.
Speaker 1: Exactly what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Pole pole.
Speaker 1: Pole is like what why are you saying? My name?
Speaker 2: Bim, I'm actually junk't here.
Speaker 1: So you're saying like, p O L a pole, not
Speaker 1: pole like p O l L.
Speaker 2: The pole I put a pole.
Speaker 1: So you know, we're talking about the TikTok where which
Speaker 1: we will also talking about the TikTok where I found
Speaker 1: out that South Australians say lego instead of lego. All
Speaker 1: the Americans are like you're saying the same word, Like
Speaker 1: what are you saying? You're saying the same thing twice.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's so different south an English pol go
Speaker 1: versus lego. It is so different. Anyway, we'll come back
Speaker 1: to it. So I did a serve yate and then.
Speaker 3: I was like which, I said, which which seat should
Speaker 3: I book? And tell me why I should book that?
Speaker 3: Because I in my brain, I'm like, there's only one answer.
Speaker 3: People have really committed answers to.
Speaker 1: No one is committed to the middle. You're either a
Speaker 1: window or an ale, right, Like no one just goes.
Speaker 3: I want to be in between two strangers and said
Speaker 3: the one person said, if I'm traveling with friends, the
Speaker 3: middle irrespective of friends or.
Speaker 1: In the middle is just like it's hell. It's like
Speaker 1: you can't like the protocol of where your elbows go,
Speaker 1: like who get like you're sharing an elbow stand? I know,
Speaker 1: what's the real estate? Like do you share it? Split
Speaker 1: it down the middle?
Speaker 2: I sent.
Speaker 3: So I put up a photo of what seat I
Speaker 3: should book, and I said watch seat and I meant
Speaker 3: as in middle, like I know J d row sixty nine.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, other weird thing I do I
Speaker 1: only book, like I don't like the letter C or
Speaker 1: a O. J okay, like I'll try and but you
Speaker 1: like the D. I like a D. Yeah, b okay,
Speaker 1: but like D ideals get the do you like the D?
Speaker 1: Then also even numbers? Yeah you're like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Someone even responded with this image.
Speaker 1: God did they use emojis?
Speaker 3: No, I don't like to do that's so cute, trying
Speaker 3: to circle one see that I should book.
Speaker 2: I was really just meant to say, like what I'll middle.
Speaker 3: I think, really I'm not sure about this first row
Speaker 3: windows side to get the view and have enough.
Speaker 1: I get that for like leg space.
Speaker 2: And then do you know what? I actually had exit
Speaker 2: road first, and I didn't like it.
Speaker 3: Well because you can't have all your stuff in the
Speaker 3: baxac and I love doing that and putting my foot
Speaker 3: up there like I'm like a.
Speaker 1: Little feet feet and on the plane.
Speaker 2: Yeah shut it's a window.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah you get so.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind that someone'said always a window seat. No,
Speaker 3: I used to be that.
Speaker 1: I'm a par I don't want to get it's not
Speaker 1: even me ping.
Speaker 3: It's the ability to walk up and down the aisle
Speaker 3: whenever you want to movement.
Speaker 2: Free the nips.
Speaker 1: So you know how Nick makes me sit in the
Speaker 1: middle because he needs the window because he hates the
Speaker 1: because he always gets bumped along the edges. And I'm
Speaker 1: an aisle girl because I need freedom movie. Yet, So
Speaker 1: when I'm in the middle and he's in the window
Speaker 1: and there's a stranger on the aisle when they're asleep,
Speaker 1: I pee so often that I'm I'm not going to
Speaker 1: bother waking them up. I will like, like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Touch? I respect people that do that.
Speaker 2: Another question.
Speaker 3: I have another question. Okay, so people put in your answers.
Speaker 3: What do you think we think middle row? I have
Speaker 3: three seats on the way.
Speaker 1: Home, right, I love a full eye.
Speaker 3: Wait, but before me the plane, before the plane left,
Speaker 3: this man came and sat in one of the free ones,
Speaker 3: and I was so annoyed because I.
Speaker 1: Was like, you can't.
Speaker 2: You gotta be a seat And I was like, okay.
Speaker 1: You should have put your bag. So, yeah, you get
Speaker 1: first dips on that row.
Speaker 2: Well it's not it's not like I'm entitled to that road.
Speaker 3: But neither of us booked that row, and by virtue
Speaker 3: of neither of us booking, it just should just be
Speaker 3: who I was in that rode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your good luck means you lie down. But that's
Speaker 1: why I'm always like, I put my blanket there.
Speaker 3: And I made the book say of not just sitting
Speaker 3: in the middle of the three I know, but then
Speaker 3: I always like and then I I did.
Speaker 1: I said, I googled is it illegal to change seats?
Speaker 3: And then everyone and then all these Reddit posts were like, no,
Speaker 3: it's just not like not like not like it's indecent,
Speaker 3: but it was like, it's it's not etiquette.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like social do you construct rules that aren't
Speaker 1: real rules?
Speaker 2: So do you do? You think?
Speaker 3: And I tried to flip, but I was like, if
Speaker 3: it was me when I am done that, if I
Speaker 3: was sitting next to someone there's a free one in
Speaker 3: the front, the pardon me is like I probably would have,
Speaker 3: but also part of me is like I'm two good
Speaker 3: two shoots, then I probably wouldn't and.
Speaker 2: The vegetarian mill.
Speaker 1: I would give them first DIBs. But I feel like
Speaker 1: if there's a free row and no one like just
Speaker 1: say it's a three or a four and there's no
Speaker 1: one in any of them, it's free for all. It's
Speaker 1: like whoever gets out of their seat the minute the
Speaker 1: seat belt side is a long run. Yeah, but if
Speaker 1: there's already someone in it, it's like they get first DIBs.
Speaker 1: And if they choose not to spread out, yeah, like
Speaker 1: if they've already put their seat back and they're not
Speaker 1: using it, then it's a free for all. I agree.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, because because he came before we left.
Speaker 3: Now, before we left, and I tried and I tried
Speaker 3: to be all like, and he didn't sweak English.
Speaker 2: So he gave me his translator and I wrote, you
Speaker 2: might have to just ask before you change.
Speaker 1: And then it was like it did and it didn't move,
Speaker 1: and I was like.
Speaker 2: It changes the balance of the aircraft. There's one person moving.
Speaker 1: It's actually a safety. Okay.
Speaker 2: So now that's the other thing. I think that's up
Speaker 2: for contention.
Speaker 1: If that's I agree, If that's it's up for contention.
Speaker 1: That the middle seat is just the worst in the
Speaker 1: entire And what I don't understand is it in a
Speaker 1: like three three three, in particular, in a three four three.
Speaker 1: In a four there's actually only like the aisle and
Speaker 1: the second middle you never have to go over two people.
Speaker 1: But in a three the middle seat is actual hell.
Speaker 1: But so much of the plane has to sit in
Speaker 1: that seat. So are people just.
Speaker 3: Like couples, a big couples, Like someone has to take it.
Speaker 1: It's basically you were so mad because I realized. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is a forever thing, like if I,
Speaker 1: if I am this person, this is how it goes.
Speaker 1: And like you know how you always make compromises, right,
Speaker 1: there are some things where it's more important to one
Speaker 1: person than the opposite is to the other person. So
Speaker 1: we measure the detriment and like here's discomfort versus like
Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah. I can kind of squish
Speaker 1: up and like my shoulders are less wide and I
Speaker 1: can be marginally more comfortable in the middle. Yep, But
Speaker 1: that means that you always have the middle. I'll always
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to travel with you, an.
Speaker 2: I could not do that, especially not long haul.
Speaker 1: So then I made a TikTok about it, and it's
Speaker 1: had a million views and so many people weighing in
Speaker 1: on this say like red flag.
Speaker 2: Like firstly concerned.
Speaker 1: So it's so funny, you know how, Like the internet
Speaker 1: is just help like when you get it's only when
Speaker 1: you get viral, like you know, we have such a
Speaker 1: beautiful audience.
Speaker 2: You guys remain famous.
Speaker 3: You guys understand you shouldn't get it. No.
Speaker 1: When I like, generally we have the loveliest audience, I've
Speaker 1: not really ever had troubles, Like we've had the lovely
Speaker 1: six spirits on the internet when a post goes viral
Speaker 1: and it starts going to like people who have no
Speaker 1: idea who you are. The hilarious ways you get like
Speaker 1: you could never keep anyone happy, And it's been hilarious
Speaker 1: going through the comments of like half the people think
Speaker 1: he's a red flag because it's like he obviously doesn't
Speaker 1: care about you and your physical wellbeing. But then the
Speaker 1: other half is like so many red flags you not him,
Speaker 1: like don't be a passenger princess, and then the other like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, he because you know how he walks
Speaker 1: really far in front like all the time. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: took like a ten, like maybe.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing that, like not even it was like two.
Speaker 1: Seconds, and everyone's like, oh my god, I think that
Speaker 1: it's time to divorce because obviously he's got OCD and
Speaker 1: anxiety about being late and me not respecting him makes
Speaker 1: me inconsiderable, like not supporting his mental health by not
Speaker 1: letting you want.
Speaker 3: Also, people have to think about the fact that you're
Speaker 3: sometimes maybe purposely lagging behind.
Speaker 1: To get the video of him looking in front one hundred.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I wasn't in that video sometimes and he does.
Speaker 3: He does walk fast, even when we're together and I walked,
Speaker 3: But that's him being like, Okay, you doodle as you please.
Speaker 1: It's not like he's like, walk faster and then make
Speaker 1: it and like leaving behind.
Speaker 3: We want a window shop, we do that and he
Speaker 3: walks ahead, and it's like you do you It's like
Speaker 3: everyone respecting what each other wants as opposed to haven't
Speaker 3: do everything together.
Speaker 1: But it was so funny how it's like he was canceled,
Speaker 1: I was canceled. We both were canceled together, like so
Speaker 1: much fuss about it. But then most people were just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is where did you get this?
Speaker 1: It took me and my husband like it was so
Speaker 1: much like this is exactly us. But the yeah, the
Speaker 1: middle seat thing. No one is like, yes, we like
Speaker 1: the middle.
Speaker 3: Seat okay, last flight, flying trouble thing, Okay, watching a
Speaker 3: movie in the plane and then a sex scene comes up,
Speaker 3: or do you watch it through? Do you fuss forward,
Speaker 3: what do you do?
Speaker 2: Brightened down?
Speaker 1: Brighten us down, brighten it down.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 1: I was stressed. Why were you watching porn on there?
Speaker 2: I was rewatching my only fans.
Speaker 1: I was editing that music. Okay, I was getting the
Speaker 1: zoom right. I always find it like it's like when
Speaker 1: you're watching them with your parents. So if Mum and
Speaker 1: I are watching a show and there's a sex scene,
Speaker 1: I have no chill and I will try make it
Speaker 1: like I will try and make it not awkward by
Speaker 1: being like I'll either say something totally unrelated to the show,
Speaker 1: or I'll be like, oh is this really necessary? Don't
Speaker 1: hate how Hollywood makes it such a thing, and like
Speaker 1: I have to like smooth it over, but I make
Speaker 1: it so much worse, and I promise I'm not like
Speaker 1: enjoying this, or.
Speaker 3: I do like like a little like look away, like
Speaker 3: I'm not that like whatever, oh oh sexy.
Speaker 2: Oh, but sometimes they're like really hot and you're like yeah, and.
Speaker 1: I'm like, but I have to show that I'm not
Speaker 1: enjoying it, So I'll be like gross I used to
Speaker 1: do like the hand over, the eyes down, the time stamp.
Speaker 1: I'll come back because I was watching because because I
Speaker 1: was watching.
Speaker 3: Don't Worry Downing with Harry Stars, not knowing at all
Speaker 3: what it was about. And it's some some scenes are
Speaker 3: like very like it's all very sexy and I know.
Speaker 3: And then I was sitting there and then I was
Speaker 3: stressed and I could the guy next to me had
Speaker 3: his brightness down, but and I couldn't see the screen
Speaker 3: because but then I could.
Speaker 2: See in front and diagonal clearly. I was like watching,
Speaker 2: and then there's like a full sex scene.
Speaker 1: So I didn't really not do about it, so.
Speaker 2: I think it's forwarded it stress be hindsight.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's worse, but just stress. I'm
Speaker 1: so stressed. But then me, I think you would be going,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, But then I do that too, where like
Speaker 1: I so, you know, I like watching so much crime.
Speaker 1: I get like, oh my god, people are going to
Speaker 1: like when I was watching Darma, the Jeffrey Darma serial
Speaker 1: killer one, I'd like see people over my shoulder watching
Speaker 1: me watch this cannibal like kill and be like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, they're judging me. But then I also have
Speaker 1: a sneaky at other people's screens. Yeah, I definitely also
Speaker 1: do them.
Speaker 2: Genuinely watch someone else's movie from my screen.
Speaker 3: Waiting was better than mine, and I was waiting for
Speaker 3: them to look check for the how long.
Speaker 2: Left to see the name of the movie because I
Speaker 2: couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 1: It was a really good movie. And like sometimes when
Speaker 1: I need to do work on the plane, like sometimes
Speaker 1: you need to write things. I just you just don't
Speaker 1: get enough privacy. I'm like, they're definitely reading what I'm writing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm definitely reading what you're writing. Yeah, or reading.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't relate with that, but you do.
Speaker 1: You know when people have like they're doing, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: is he a businessman?
Speaker 3: I want to have an author Like it is interesting,
Speaker 3: you know when you're like walking through the aisle to
Speaker 3: get to your seat and sometimes you're like banked up
Speaker 3: and you have to stop.
Speaker 2: I was standing at the business area, like the business
Speaker 2: scene area. I guess I was waiting to get to
Speaker 2: the back, so, well, this would be interesting to see
Speaker 2: what they do this. One guy was like, how is
Speaker 2: you know how older people have texts so large that
Speaker 2: you could see it from the other side of the room,
Speaker 2: was like fully large, and I was just Jane. Then
Speaker 2: I was like I don't really have anywhere else to look,
Speaker 2: and it was full.
Speaker 3: Like can we please nail that stock purchase before it
Speaker 3: goes out of date?
Speaker 1: And I was like, whoa, No. You know what's even
Speaker 1: weirder when you sit next to someone on a flight
Speaker 1: and they don't look at anything. Yeah, like they're just
Speaker 1: like it's in theory. It's beautiful that they don't need
Speaker 1: the stimulation and distraction of their phone a movie. But
Speaker 1: then I'm like, you're a psycho back, yeah, like why
Speaker 1: are you just staring at the BA.
Speaker 2: That's strange anyway, That was my spiel on the flight.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's so many airlines trouble related, like.
Speaker 2: Quirks about people, so many shows.
Speaker 3: Aside toilet toilet etiquette, like what do you do?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna out Nick, and it's gonna be so no.
Speaker 1: No sometimes so he always wears no, it's canceling headphones.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sometimes fun. He doesn't know that it's because
Speaker 1: he can't hear it. No, surely it's so quiet. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I.
Speaker 2: Find all the time and the planet can't hear it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're the person you can't hear, but
Speaker 3: you can don't smell yes, they do not whatever, and.
Speaker 2: He's talking and if someone does, but because you're like,
Speaker 2: that was you.
Speaker 3: But then the.
Speaker 1: Problem is because I have a history of like not
Speaker 1: telling Nick that I have and then like two weeks
Speaker 1: later it was like, hey, remember that flight, like that
Speaker 1: was me, So now when it wasn't me, he won't
Speaker 1: believe me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you you're the worst because you're like the
Speaker 3: only two in the bedroom, only two, and it's like
Speaker 3: I definitely didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I'm like Evan's.
Speaker 3: You're so adamantly like, well, it wasn't me either, and
Speaker 3: it's like, I know.
Speaker 1: Just it's not an issue, just just it wasn't me, though.
Speaker 1: He's like Paul was like on a docky days bar,
Speaker 1: he wasn't in the house.
Speaker 2: So that was my very long update of mine what happened.
Speaker 1: I still just don't know how people just raw dog
Speaker 1: it for the middle seed.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Yeah, honestly, if you're a middle seat lover line,
Speaker 3: we'd like to interview you.
Speaker 1: We should start doing like Fox Pops, and we'd like
Speaker 1: to have something else that confuses you. I feel like
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things we could Let's start making
Speaker 1: a c a list of like ship that doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely number one is in the middle seat because
Speaker 2: that's just weird.
Speaker 1: Also like slow walking three ye breast on a footpath,
Speaker 1: like move overtake, overtake line lanes.
Speaker 3: I was like, if you want the foot path, if
Speaker 3: you want to slow walk a three year breast person me,
Speaker 3: I will come on to.
Speaker 1: Have three breasts. I've got three breast for nipple me
Speaker 1: high value. The other thing that randomly went viral the
Speaker 1: other day, well send me viral was we had straight
Speaker 1: after Morocco. Have you even talked about Morocco? That we
Speaker 1: need Morocco? We went straight to South Australia and had
Speaker 1: this amazing weekend. It was so nice. I'd never been
Speaker 1: to the Barossa and there is so much in Australia.
Speaker 1: It was just so beautiful. But I found out that
Speaker 1: South Australians pronounce lego, which is like Nick's favorite thing.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, how did that even come up? And have
Speaker 1: you met my husband? Anyway, they pronounced it lego like
Speaker 1: l a y. I have never heard what so I
Speaker 1: was like, do you say lego? Land? I heard that
Speaker 1: though I hadn't either, but everyone in South Australia it's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's been like that since I was
Speaker 1: a kid. I can't unhear it.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna have to keep notes on who we need.
Speaker 3: We need to just this episode stories to be like, hey,
Speaker 3: we need a middle seat sitter and to tell us why.
Speaker 1: Later came from. And then all these people like it's
Speaker 1: actually closer to the day is like original name, but
Speaker 1: it's definitely it's definitely Lego. But they also apparently say
Speaker 1: like prance dance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they've got it's like British British accent.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But there was another one like pool. Apparently they say,
Speaker 1: let's go swim in the pool.
Speaker 2: No, that's that's Queensland pol pu pu p P.
Speaker 3: Say cue cue Queensland.
Speaker 1: Q like k e w l que Let's go swim
Speaker 1: the peel See at the pill peel.
Speaker 3: Pure is like p y like pure like p y yeah,
Speaker 3: like you p y e w l p Q not
Speaker 3: like pe Okay, we.
Speaker 2: Should also need someone from Queensland.
Speaker 1: Eat. What I don't get is like, how did someone
Speaker 1: one day in South Australia go oh yeah, no it's
Speaker 1: Lego and then everyone in the state who speaks identically
Speaker 1: to us in most other regards just going Noah, but
Speaker 1: we're going to stick with Lego, Like, how does that happen?
Speaker 3: I've never heard that in my life. It's Queensland. And
Speaker 3: then we need a middle seat speaker.
Speaker 1: And then apparently Americans couldn't tell the difference between Lego
Speaker 1: and Lego, but they say legos like it's always plural,
Speaker 1: which reminded me of like how moms say the Facebook,
Speaker 1: which reminded me.
Speaker 3: My mom.
Speaker 1: You know, every mom has like those weird things. I say,
Speaker 1: the Facebook, the Google, like whatever mom? Remember mom said,
Speaker 1: are you going out in your action weear.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're the action Where. I'm like, I still you know?
Speaker 2: So I you know?
Speaker 1: So it's the inside joke for us.
Speaker 3: And I always say action where, thinking everyone else knows
Speaker 3: inside joke and I'm like, oh, I got my action where,
Speaker 3: and they're like it's and then I have to like
Speaker 3: explain so Sharah, you know Sharah my best friend, Sarah's
Speaker 3: mom anyways one time, and I'm like, by the end of.
Speaker 1: That, explaining is not fun. But action wear is so exited.
Speaker 1: I love her so much. Also, do you know I
Speaker 1: can't escape you? So I didn't see you for six
Speaker 1: weeks we were like both in different countries doing different things,
Speaker 1: being going to house inspections, first house inspection yesterday. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, Sarah, you are and his friend watch Chris
Speaker 1: Chris Manning.
Speaker 2: We love him so much.
Speaker 1: Honestly, is such a small world. And then we like
Speaker 1: had the best chat and then we followed each other
Speaker 1: like three different But I.
Speaker 3: Also remember Chris is friends with the photographer you had
Speaker 3: in Antarctica. Yes, yeah, he's really good friends with.
Speaker 1: Matcha beIN or Mat. Yeah. Yeah, I just put Matt
Speaker 1: on the FaceTime as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just did the FaceTime.
Speaker 1: Okay, actually I speaking of my mum. It's Mother's Day
Speaker 1: coming out.
Speaker 3: Wait back to Morocco. Oh yeah, everything my brain speaking
Speaker 3: of Mother's.
Speaker 1: Day Morocco also such as m it does m O
Speaker 1: close that day the same word. Morocco was amazing. It
Speaker 1: was so beautiful. It was one of those countries I
Speaker 1: definitely think we from the outside before you've been there,
Speaker 1: you see a lot of red sand. Do you think
Speaker 1: of the Sahara like you kind of have this preconception
Speaker 1: about what the country is going to look like, which
Speaker 1: is similar you actually brought this up, which is like
Speaker 1: people from overseas coming here and being like, do you
Speaker 1: guys have koalas and kangaroos in your backyard? And We're
Speaker 1: like no, Like, what do you mean You're not seeing
Speaker 1: a city so uncultured. Uncultured of us to think Moroccos
Speaker 1: to sand. Yeah, I was like, where's the red sand?
Speaker 1: Ad like, which was silly because I'm like, I'm obviously
Speaker 1: not every part of a country is the one image
Speaker 1: that you see. And we went with Intrepid. It was
Speaker 1: another work trip as part of my ambassadorship, which is
Speaker 1: just I mean every single time, I'm like, I think
Speaker 1: of little me and I think of what she would
Speaker 1: have thought, of what I would be able to do
Speaker 1: with my life, and how much I love travel and
Speaker 1: languages and cultures. And then to travel with a company
Speaker 1: that is just doing such incredible things and has the
Speaker 1: same values about anyway, it just I always pinch myself,
Speaker 1: like how do I end up in these positions? And
Speaker 1: so incredibly grateful for that role because they're all about
Speaker 1: spreading the joy of travel, and like, if there's anything
Speaker 1: I stand for, it's the joy of travel and how
Speaker 1: much it opens your mind. And Morocco had always been
Speaker 1: like high on the bucket list. I didn't realize how
Speaker 1: close it is to Spain. It's like one very right,
Speaker 1: like less than an hour away, and so I'd kind
Speaker 1: of almost been quite a few times and then it
Speaker 1: just never aligned. So it had been a long time coming.
Speaker 1: And it's extraordinary, like it's so diverse. It was really green,
Speaker 1: Like the first five days were all lush, like I
Speaker 1: was sending people pictures and they're like, what is that.
Speaker 1: There's like a ski shall I yeah, so odd. I
Speaker 1: would never have thought more could be green. There's snowcap mountains.
Speaker 1: It was crazy because it's like right on like it's
Speaker 1: northwest and it's very like coast or like there's heaps
Speaker 1: of coast, and it just like blew me away. It
Speaker 1: was so different, and there was you know, we started
Speaker 1: in Casablanca, which is such a modern city and that's
Speaker 1: really beach like it's we've got a beautiful beach front.
Speaker 1: And then we headed to Affairs, which is like one
Speaker 1: of the oldest operating medinas and like walled cities and
Speaker 1: old markets in the world. It has the world's oldest
Speaker 1: university that's still operating, and that was like deep culture
Speaker 1: and history and that mind opening stuff and much more
Speaker 1: of like the in the madina and the marketplace, there's
Speaker 1: a tannery where they steal color leather using like indigo
Speaker 1: and saffron and like yeah, like you could see the
Speaker 1: craftsmanship and the artisan work of how things have always
Speaker 1: been done. It was just so interesting. But then we
Speaker 1: went to like a lake in the middle where they've
Speaker 1: got this man made down because Morocco's really big on
Speaker 1: hydro power, and that looked like felt like Geneva or
Speaker 1: someone was like where are we, like what is happening?
Speaker 1: And then we finished up in Marrakesh, which was much
Speaker 1: more of like what you expect with the sauk and
Speaker 1: the big markets and like the hustle and bustle, but
Speaker 1: again so colorful, like these bright pink flowers everywhere. It
Speaker 1: was just amazing, like a full assault to the sensor.
Speaker 1: What's the food that you're eating? To Jeane, everything was
Speaker 1: in a tajene and Tojene, okay, fun fact, you know
Speaker 1: how like when I travel, I can't not I don't
Speaker 1: wanted to show you pictures. I won't need to learn stuff.
Speaker 1: So Tejeane is the pot? Did you not know that? No?
Speaker 1: I thought Jane was the dish like stir fray or casserole.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I knew that still didn't know the
Speaker 2: only thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the tejene is the pot. So anything that
Speaker 1: gets cooked in a tajen pot is a tugine, like
Speaker 1: sag naki is the pan, not the cheepeh. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. There you go, Wow, there you go, we go.
Speaker 2: I got the double There you go.
Speaker 1: Guys and all. So, you know, Nick and I are
Speaker 1: so lucky to have done quite a lot of travels
Speaker 1: through the Middle East and a lot of like it's
Speaker 1: in a primarily Islamic country, and we've had, you know,
Speaker 1: such great opportunities to travel in other countries that have
Speaker 1: a similar faith in culture. But I was not expecting
Speaker 1: it to be so open minded and progressive in comparison
Speaker 1: to some of the places we've been, so we learnt
Speaker 1: about you know, in Casablanco, it's like the only Arab
Speaker 1: I think it's the only Arab nation that has a
Speaker 1: Jewish museum, which is like, I mean, you know how
Speaker 1: progressive they must be to do that. And back in
Speaker 1: one of the World Wars, when the Nazis came into
Speaker 1: Morocco and demanded that the King of Morocco hand over
Speaker 1: all the Jews. He said, there are no Jews here,
Speaker 1: there are only Moroccans.
Speaker 2: Wow, And I feel like so nice.
Speaker 1: Like that kind of history. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know if other people find that really interesting when they travel,
Speaker 1: but that kind of thing makes me so interested, Like
Speaker 1: I just I don't know following how significant people have
Speaker 1: made decisions against the grain, like the whole way through humanity.
Speaker 1: I was just like had such a bigger appreciation for Morocco.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was the architecture, like that is cheap,
Speaker 1: like food and stuff. Yeah, it's one of those places
Speaker 1: where the tourism market caters for the extreme luxury, Like
Speaker 1: there are lots of crazy five star results where the
Speaker 1: price of food at the restaurants is like equivalent to
Speaker 1: resorts here. But then when you're in the market places,
Speaker 1: there's like a totally different economy going on, So it
Speaker 1: can be really cheap if you, you know, aren't going
Speaker 1: to really western places all the time. You can also
Speaker 1: do it in a really expensive way. I think the
Speaker 1: scale of different experiences you could have based on what
Speaker 1: you wanted as a tourist anyway is really broad, Like
Speaker 1: you could go all the way from like very very
Speaker 1: cheaply living. And one of the most special things we
Speaker 1: did was we and this is what I love about Intrepid.
Speaker 1: They not only in every itinerary include a meal with locals,
Speaker 1: so you go and like actually get a home cooked meal,
Speaker 1: which is so nice. They also have a feature stay
Speaker 1: where instead of a hotel, we stayed in a riard.
Speaker 1: So the traditional Moroccan buildings, you know those ones that
Speaker 1: are like square around the outside, but in the middle
Speaker 1: is like a big fountain and like there's no ceiling
Speaker 1: in the middle. Bit, yeah, like a little like an open,
Speaker 1: open courtyard. So that's a read and like all accommodate,
Speaker 1: all traditional accommodation is like that. And so when you're
Speaker 1: inside you can still look over the side of the
Speaker 1: ways and look down into the courtyard. And that was
Speaker 1: so special. It was like so exotic and amazing. It
Speaker 1: was just the best. And it was really nice because
Speaker 1: we've had, like you know, you guys all know, we've
Speaker 1: had like a really roller coaster little time together and
Speaker 1: this was such a nice thing to.
Speaker 2: Do, little like a second honeymoon.
Speaker 1: I feel like we can't keep extending that out. Now
Speaker 1: there's like our twenty f halve honeymoon.
Speaker 2: I have to wait two years for your honeymoon.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's fair, that's true. It was really
Speaker 1: really nice there together. That's really nice. I just love
Speaker 1: it when and I think you're the same when you
Speaker 1: go somewhere and your mind gets like stretched past knows
Speaker 1: and just watching people. So one of the really cool
Speaker 1: things about every city we went to was you know
Speaker 1: how like sometimes you travel and you say really cool
Speaker 1: markets and stuff, like I found this in Turkey a
Speaker 1: little bit. You say really cool markets, but it's mainly
Speaker 1: for tourists. Like it's really ramped up for the tourist market,
Speaker 1: even though they're still authentic goods. It's like mainly tourist shopping.
Speaker 1: Everywhere we went in Morocco, it was like locals shopping
Speaker 1: for their textiles and food and they were like get
Speaker 1: out of the way. So it was like that would
Speaker 1: just do in their lives, guys. That's my favorite to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: That's why I also love My favorite thing to do
Speaker 2: is go on those free walking tours.
Speaker 3: Same day one I get leave my bags in the
Speaker 3: hostel and I go on this walking to and it's
Speaker 3: the best thing because you're like, oh, I did not
Speaker 3: like it used context to all of these buildings and
Speaker 3: cultural you know, doings and beings that you would otherwise
Speaker 3: just walk past and be like cool and then but
Speaker 3: you could you didn't know that it's like a the
Speaker 3: oldest mosque.
Speaker 2: In the history of the world.
Speaker 1: If you didn't go on this walking tour, you'd be
Speaker 1: like cool, I know the mosque. I do the like
Speaker 1: lazy girl version of that. And this is so lame
Speaker 1: for someone who like is I'm always like a I
Speaker 1: don't do the teristic things. I like get off the
Speaker 1: beaten path. But I love a bus tour, like a
Speaker 1: city bus tour. Yes, it's like a walking tour. You
Speaker 1: get like the first day it's so teristic, obviously because
Speaker 1: it's a double degger buss and you look like such
Speaker 1: a tourist, but I feel like you get to see
Speaker 1: they do the same thing. They drive you around everywhere,
Speaker 1: so you kind of understand where you are and where
Speaker 1: everything is in relation to each other, and they give
Speaker 1: you just like the Dummi's guide to each thing. And
Speaker 1: then the next day you can start like I can't
Speaker 1: want to go back there.
Speaker 3: That's the start of every everywhere I land. That's the
Speaker 3: first thing I do, because I was like, I don't
Speaker 3: have because otherwise you don't have bearings to know unless
Speaker 3: you're passionate already about that place and you're there. Because
Speaker 3: I don't really go places, go to places with a
Speaker 3: of a list.
Speaker 1: Of things that I've seen online that I want to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless it's a natural place like Petra or the desert.
Speaker 2: But it's not like I need to go on this.
Speaker 1: Particular cafe and this particular bla.
Speaker 2: It's just walking to it.
Speaker 1: And then you're like, oh, that would be cool, and
Speaker 1: they give you these really.
Speaker 2: Great tips and they say it's on Sunday. If you
Speaker 2: could post eight pm, it's better.
Speaker 1: Well, what was really cool when we were there is
Speaker 1: it was Ramadan, true, which I've never been traveling during Ramadan,
Speaker 1: and so it was so cool because our like everyone
Speaker 1: is fasting until sundown and our guys, the poor things,
Speaker 1: they're all still working like fasting, and it was like
Speaker 1: the last week of it, so they were kind of
Speaker 1: really ready to just celebrate at Ad. And you know,
Speaker 1: they'd break the fast with us at dinner and then
Speaker 1: you see them just be like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: got so much.
Speaker 2: Did you?
Speaker 1: It was really cool? Did you get to go to
Speaker 1: an celebration. We left, so we were flying on the
Speaker 1: last day. But what was really cool is that if
Speaker 1: tad is what it's called when you break your fast,
Speaker 1: and it's based on when the prayers are called or
Speaker 1: when the sun sets. But when you're on a plane
Speaker 1: and you're changing like time zones, the pilot will come
Speaker 1: over the thing and say, you know, we have worked
Speaker 1: out that this is when you can break your fast.
Speaker 1: Oh that was so cool and I'd never experienced that,
Speaker 1: so that was really cool. But you know, one thing
Speaker 1: that did match its stereotype was the architecture, like the
Speaker 1: colorful tiles, but also like how intricate everything is. Like
Speaker 1: you'll look at a wall and it just looks like
Speaker 1: a wall, and then you'll walk up close and everything
Speaker 1: is like hand carved within an inch of its life.
Speaker 1: Was so beautiful. I love Morocan food, Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: have loved it. And for Vedro, so there was a
Speaker 1: vegetarian on our trip and he like a lot of
Speaker 1: chi jeans and meat and fish. But he had so
Speaker 1: much good food. He was so happy. It was really good.
Speaker 1: It's hot, wasn't that bad. It's not like high summer
Speaker 1: when it gets really really hot, but we had the
Speaker 1: best weather. It was like twenty five to like, so
Speaker 1: it was perfect. It was so good, and it's actually
Speaker 1: more so, I thought, I like, I just took my
Speaker 1: egypt wardrobe, which is quite covered and quite conservative, and
Speaker 1: then Marrakesh, some of the oldest cities are more conservative,
Speaker 1: but Marikos, she's actually quite modern and relaxed. And so
Speaker 1: our guy whose name is Sama, he's engaged get married
Speaker 1: to his Beyonce, and she has a fashion label and
Speaker 1: he was showing me all these dresses and they were like,
Speaker 1: you know, exposing shoulders and like I slipped in the
Speaker 1: leg of the dress and I was like, where is
Speaker 1: she gonna wear these? If you have to cover your
Speaker 1: shot He's like, oh, you don't have to cover your
Speaker 1: shoulders and stuff, like you wear a T shirt. And
Speaker 1: I was like, it's the last day. On hot days,
Speaker 1: I'd been wearing like scarves to my wrists and like
Speaker 1: skirts and I was like, dude, He's like, I just
Speaker 1: thought that's how you wanted to dress. Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: walking around Maracosh, everyone's in T shirts. I was like,
Speaker 1: daf fuck dude, Like thanks really appreciated. But another thing
Speaker 1: that was really cool is the Intrepid team over there.
Speaker 1: We got to go to the office and visit them,
Speaker 1: and they'd been doing this at the time, like a
Speaker 1: lot of press around the idea that the number of
Speaker 1: female guides in the industry is really really low and
Speaker 1: they're trying to get it to be more equal. And
Speaker 1: one of the barriers is that you have to do
Speaker 1: your guide examinations separately. You can you can't. Just like
Speaker 1: in Egypt, if you do your guide qualification, you just
Speaker 1: graduate and then you can start working. In Morocco, you
Speaker 1: have to do a ministry test, but the ministry test
Speaker 1: is only held whenever they hold it, so like it's
Speaker 1: once a year, and then sometimes for women, like they
Speaker 1: won't even have it or they'll change the dates and
Speaker 1: it's really inaccessible, and Intrepid have launched this huge commitment
Speaker 1: to sponsoring more of the tests to get more women
Speaker 1: into the industry. It was, Yeah, it was amazing. It's
Speaker 1: so conscious and it's not even hard to talk about
Speaker 1: it because they're just so like every time we travel
Speaker 1: it's so visible what they're actually doing, Like we didn't
Speaker 1: get any papers, or we don't have plastic bottles at all,
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, and that's difficult, like in a
Speaker 1: country where you're trying to you're not able to drink
Speaker 1: tap water, like it's hard to use plastic all the time.
Speaker 1: But they'll have like a big filtered water thing in
Speaker 1: the car and then you can fill up your reusable
Speaker 1: water bottles and yeah, that kind of stuff is It's
Speaker 1: an amazing way to travel. Yeah, but then we've been home.
Speaker 2: No, but you would hope for that one second and
Speaker 2: then to advocate.
Speaker 1: And then we did the South Australia True, which was amazing.
Speaker 1: Then I was in Sydney for True a week working
Speaker 1: and I think I'm at a weird stage and this
Speaker 1: is a whole other episode which we can do another time,
Speaker 1: but I'm at a weird stage and I feel like
Speaker 1: a lot of women will appreciate this where when you're
Speaker 1: starting to think about a family, you're kind of in limbo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because until you have one, your decision making is all
Speaker 1: like you've got to make the most of the fact
Speaker 1: that you have the flexibility of not having children. So
Speaker 1: I'm like do all the travel jobs, like if something
Speaker 1: comes up into state and I just can pick up
Speaker 1: and go, like go, because you don't know if you'll
Speaker 1: be able to do that. But then it's like, how
Speaker 1: do you pace your energy? Because what if then you can?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like I feel very limbo
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 3: And also family planning is one unexpected that you can't
Speaker 3: really plan. And then second it's a nine month minimum
Speaker 3: commitment of your body being physically like restricted, and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: then what do I do? Like even next month even
Speaker 3: could be the start of when.
Speaker 2: It's very uncertainty, and.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's always a level of uncertainty and
Speaker 1: business has definitely made me embrace uncertainty more. But you
Speaker 1: just don't realize how truly like limbo e it feels
Speaker 1: until you're suddenly actually trying, and then you're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god.
Speaker 3: But then you're like, oh wait, should I slow down
Speaker 3: to give my body optimal yeah, baby bearing abilities?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Or should I speed up to make the most
Speaker 1: of it? Like is it gonna happen anyway? There's just
Speaker 1: like for an eight time, I'm like far out. I
Speaker 1: just want to control everything. Sorry about it? The stress
Speaker 1: for you? Way, Let me just live in my life.
Speaker 1: That's your TTC, Jenny my TTC is what was trying
Speaker 1: to conceive it's like a whole hash why did journey
Speaker 1: is looking up ways you're meant to have a child
Speaker 1: in the same sex relationship, you're actually looking at that, no,
Speaker 1: like as in just to know what I don't know.
Speaker 3: I kind of know it because Catherine, Okay, so I
Speaker 3: but before that I was like, I did not know,
Speaker 3: and I was very shocked about the process. Not very shocked,
Speaker 3: but about the how difficult it is. It's probably similar
Speaker 3: to if you were, you know, struggling to conceive naturally
Speaker 3: in a hetero relationship. But there's so many rules and
Speaker 3: things like if you go through an agent to get
Speaker 3: a Spurm doon and you must pay like two thousand
Speaker 3: dollars for counseling before you even they allow you to
Speaker 3: do it. And on top of that, it's the intimations,
Speaker 3: and then if you can't do that, then it's the IVF.
Speaker 3: And then in Melbourne, I think it's only it's like
Speaker 3: you can try inciminating only two times before you then
Speaker 3: have to get an IVF Rosen Queens and you can do.
Speaker 1: It's it's unlimited the time.
Speaker 3: It's like it's an expense and it's it's.
Speaker 1: All just a lot, you know, it is a lot.
Speaker 1: It is a lot.
Speaker 2: I would like to adopt, but that's even a harder process.
Speaker 1: I mean you can ask Rizzy adopted, Yeah, and she's
Speaker 1: adopted me. There's also like a whole thing around. When
Speaker 1: we have a child, it'll be my first blood relative.
Speaker 1: I only realized that the other day. I was like, what.
Speaker 2: Rizzy today for Mother's Day?
Speaker 1: No, you know I've already asked. You know, we've caught guys.
Speaker 1: If you've been wanting to hear from Mama holloway, trust me,
Speaker 1: we have tried. We recorded an entire episode for the
Speaker 1: last Mother's Day, and then she can it.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe, yeah, maybe if everyone wrote a message dy
Speaker 3: and said really petitioned, she might come.
Speaker 2: Around to it.
Speaker 1: Well. Her campaign for French Connection came out cute.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, my god.
Speaker 1: She was on confident on the day. You know what
Speaker 1: she's like, and she was. She saw the photos and

Speaker 2: She's cute. But one day today she caught someone a.
Speaker 1: Bustard. I mean, but do you know she's gotten sassier,
Speaker 1: Like she was never sassy.
Speaker 2: But she's sassy in this articulate, proper way.
Speaker 1: Except clusterfer, she says, clusterify makes cross Oh I love her.
Speaker 1: He was alicitous, bustard? Were you like she was going
Speaker 1: to forget? And just word of the day toilet paper?
