Speaker 1: The last time that happened was misbehavior.
Speaker 2: It was this will go on like the science box,
Speaker 2: like an eclipse. Absolutely, it doesn't haveen often, but when
Speaker 2: it does, it's a night of beholes.
Speaker 1: It's it's total eclipses. It's Hayley's comment and it's the
Speaker 1: six of us getting totally.
Speaker 2: They'll be writing about us for centuries.
Speaker 1: But I did. We did get home and Ryan said,
Speaker 1: I remember now why I don't listen to the podcast,
Speaker 1: because so many people came up to him that night
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, I heard about this. I heard
Speaker 1: about the coming on the arms story and the pools,
Speaker 1: and they thought it was that. They thought it was him.
Speaker 1: I was very clear on the podcast it wasn't Ryan.
Speaker 1: It was a friend.
Speaker 3: It happened to a friend of Ryan. The chair in
Speaker 3: the in the bedroom is only for laundry. All of
Speaker 3: a very very clear about.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent, one hundred percent. Actually I sat next to
Speaker 2: Chris Parker most of the night and we had the
Speaker 2: most celebrity guests, the most amazing, awesome catch up we
Speaker 2: were in that we called it the gay quadrant of
Speaker 2: the party because at one point it was just the
Speaker 2: gaze and we were kind of keeping everyone else away.
Speaker 2: That wasn't okay, But we had an amazing catch up,
Speaker 2: the most funniest person and much much love.
Speaker 1: There was a gay a gay guy. Literally the moment
Speaker 1: I sat down, hand in me a tequila shot because
Speaker 1: I was no That was the second tequila sho I
Speaker 1: was from you. The first one came from a guy
Speaker 1: sitting next to you at the table or opposite you.
Speaker 2: At the table.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the young fella, the young fella, the young
Speaker 1: bark and I sat down in the hand of mere
Speaker 1: tequila shot. And because I was very late to the
Speaker 1: party with the red your awards, so apologies for my lateness.
Speaker 3: Look, you've got to look. You've got new friends down
Speaker 3: that you live in the big bed would have radios.
Speaker 3: It was very important that you played along and hang
Speaker 3: out with them. I appreciated you coming.
Speaker 1: Are you going to stop the air?
Speaker 3: I appreciated you coming.
Speaker 2: You'd be guted if no one appreciated you coming.
Speaker 3: Right, you're one of the only ones that came that night.
Speaker 2: And we did say this when we walked on this evening,
Speaker 2: and we did say it on on thusday night. You
Speaker 2: were very, very deeper and that so like you poor
Speaker 2: thank you you pull it off.
Speaker 3: You look absolutely gorgeous. Although I have to say there
Speaker 3: was somebody else in our group that received quite a
Speaker 3: bit of attention on the night and it was your boyfriend, Carl.
Speaker 3: So someone must have been knowing some squats at the gym,
Speaker 3: or was wearing some very tight jeans. I had two
Speaker 3: separate straight women be like, who is that guy with
Speaker 3: the incredible ass?
Speaker 2: That's my human And it was it was. It was
Speaker 2: just looking nice and perky, wasn't It's beautiful? Sorry, Canter?
Speaker 2: You know, I reckon you could have just about.
Speaker 1: Is it particularly perky at the moment, more so than normal?
Speaker 2: I think it's cold weather, maybe bring the blood to
Speaker 2: the surface. I don't know, it's always been a perky bump.
Speaker 2: But he, you know, very flattering as well. He was.
Speaker 2: He was very stoked as well. So thank you for
Speaker 2: the feedback.
Speaker 1: You see, I didn't I didn't look because I'm very
Speaker 1: respectful and.
Speaker 2: Oh fucking now, this is the biggest loads of ship.
Speaker 1: Well there's actually not necessarily true. If you remember back
Speaker 1: to this is this is true.
Speaker 2: Swings between the.
Speaker 1: Swings, swinger, No, Carl's old news.
Speaker 2: It was good that that he wasn't sitting down there
Speaker 2: in one of those special chairs because he was standing
Speaker 2: up and it was there.
Speaker 3: He knew where he was, he was, he was standing up,
Speaker 3: he sort of cocked himself half to the party.
Speaker 1: I did say something quite flirty to you actually at
Speaker 1: the table last week, and then I was like, oh god, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not We're not on the podcast, like I can't just.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't remember that.
Speaker 1: I can't flirt with you in front of your partner.
Speaker 2: Do you remember what you see?
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
Speaker 2: I was a little bit. Didn't happen?
Speaker 1: Old God, how are we otherwise?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: All good?
Speaker 2: Really good?
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I had a wonderful weekend. It was lovely.
Speaker 3: So my family were current for the party. It was
Speaker 3: lovely to have them. And then just tried to be
Speaker 3: a little bit quiet because yes, she's been a big
Speaker 3: couple of ways.
Speaker 1: Huge, huge ten years is amazing, thank you.
Speaker 3: It's on one hand, feels like I've just started. On
Speaker 3: the other hand, I felt like I've never known anything
Speaker 3: else in my life.
Speaker 1: I'm putting you on I'm putting you on the spot
Speaker 1: here a little bit. But like, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people out there will will have businesses or we'll be
Speaker 1: thinking about building like a small business or something like that.
Speaker 1: Over the last ten years, are there any particular things
Speaker 1: that you think back You're like, man, that was like
Speaker 1: the biggest lesson I ever learned, or I wish I'd
Speaker 1: done this differently or anything like that.
Speaker 3: It's a really good question. So there's a couple of them.
Speaker 3: One always hire people that are smarter than you. I
Speaker 3: think when I first started the business, I thought that
Speaker 3: I had to hire people that like, not we're not
Speaker 3: smarter than me, but were that I could just give
Speaker 3: things to do and they would they would be below me.
Speaker 3: But as soon as I started hiring people that can
Speaker 3: do jobs better than I can, fuck it's good does
Speaker 3: be out of a job and makes it all work.
Speaker 3: And then the second thing is, which is the same
Speaker 3: as in any industry you've ever worked in, just be
Speaker 3: a nice guy. Like I think it's been all of
Speaker 3: my early years of life being like such a nice guy.
Speaker 3: And what does it work out for me? I'm single
Speaker 3: and no one loves me, and all these fucking dicks again,
Speaker 3: all this that and the rest tell me what'sved all
Speaker 3: right for me in business? Yes, and then guys do
Speaker 3: get to finish last and sometimes more than once.
Speaker 1: I like that, but that is so true. People want
Speaker 1: to do business with people that they enjoy, that they like, right.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's relational. Everything we do in life is relational.
Speaker 2: You know, whether we you know, when we order a coffee,
Speaker 2: you know that that interaction is relational. And so you know,
Speaker 2: if you say thank you and you have a very polite,
Speaker 2: pleasant that might make that person's day. That's just the
Speaker 2: coff So it's relational.
Speaker 3: Right, We am doing an audition to beyond Brene Bran's
Speaker 3: next podcast.
Speaker 2: We haven't mentioned Brene Brown for such a long time.
Speaker 1: My dream would have been if we ever got to
Speaker 1: meet Brene Brown and like god, that would just be
Speaker 1: the ultimate.
Speaker 2: It would be imagine like dal even if she dialed
Speaker 2: in for a section of the podcast, like they would
Speaker 2: just be like, oh my god, that's Brene Brown.
Speaker 3: Do you think maybe if we had of one lotto,
Speaker 3: that's one of the things that we could have spent
Speaker 3: our money on was doing and a group tap to
Speaker 3: meet Bene Broa.
Speaker 2: How do you know that neither of us won lotto? Well,
Speaker 2: I didn't win lotto because the top advice from the
Speaker 2: lottery people don't tell people. Don't tell people, and just
Speaker 2: maybe tell your nearest and dearest. Wow.
Speaker 1: Although there's not telling people, and then there's going about
Speaker 1: your daily business as if nothing has happened. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I could maybe not tell people, but there's no fucking
Speaker 1: way I'd be at work and stuff.
Speaker 2: There'd definitely be signs. And I'm still clearly driving my
Speaker 2: old vehicle of was last week. There's no range drover.
Speaker 1: I'm going to attest to this.
Speaker 3: He's missing a bit of a wing barrow, and it's like,
Speaker 3: what's going on here? Maybe it's the deque he just like.
Speaker 2: Just just throwing lots of distraction out there, who knows.
Speaker 1: I remember interviewing a guy Trevor from Ta KOFU years ago,
Speaker 1: like years ago. He won big like thirty mil or
Speaker 1: something like that, and he swore he worked at the
Speaker 1: Pecking Stade and he swore when I interviewed him, he
Speaker 1: was like, I'm going back to work, Like this isn't
Speaker 1: going to change me.
Speaker 2: Did he go back to it? Not a chance? Brought
Speaker 2: a whole lot of muscle cars and now broke. I
Speaker 2: think it didn't work out well for him.
Speaker 1: It did not work out well for him. An ex girlfriend.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm allegedly I don't know the story fully,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna try and be safe here, but I
Speaker 1: feel like maybe an ex girlfriend kind of crawled back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think going on to that, if
Speaker 3: I remember correctly, I think there might have been a
Speaker 3: few women across the time that just came and just
Speaker 3: like dust the pie up a lot of bit.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Welcome to the scandal section of
Speaker 2: Bloody out the case truly right.
Speaker 1: So, no, we won a bonus line, not even a
Speaker 1: test ticket, just an extra line on our next ticket.
Speaker 3: At some points of the night, an extra line.
Speaker 2: Goes yeah in the morning, you see, but you didn't win.
Speaker 2: I did not win a lotto and I'm back to
Speaker 2: my day job doing what I I think. I love
Speaker 2: you know that's good. But yeah, how about you puppets,
Speaker 2: how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm great, I'm really good. My little sister wasn't over
Speaker 1: the weekend.
Speaker 2: Was it fun?
Speaker 1: It was really fun. She had a little bit of
Speaker 1: heartbreak recently, so it was really nice to be able
Speaker 1: to just give it like a big brotherly hug where
Speaker 1: there's ten years between us, right, So she's ten years
Speaker 1: younger than I am. So there's always been a funny
Speaker 1: relationship where it's like part sibling, part like third parent. Almost. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I grew up kind of helping to raise her, so yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel very protective of her, so it was nice
Speaker 1: to see her. She came, she came over and we
Speaker 1: said to her before we arrived, we do have a
Speaker 1: party to go to on Friday night, but we don't
Speaker 1: have to go. Yeah, And she was like, what is it?
Speaker 1: And I said, it's a leaving party for one of
Speaker 1: the gays, so it'll just be a full, full noise
Speaker 1: gay house party.
Speaker 2: At someone else's house with fifty people smashing magnums.
Speaker 1: And she said, I'm in and on. It was like
Speaker 1: it was actually literally it was actually the best thing
Speaker 1: for her, just like this single goal surrounded by by gaming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was just she just had the time of
Speaker 1: her life.
Speaker 2: So it was beautiful, awesome. Yeah, did you have to
Speaker 2: drag her home? Or does she drag you home?
Speaker 1: God, I can't even remember. Hell, I can't even remember
Speaker 1: the end of the night now.
Speaker 2: Oh that's we didn't get any photos at twenty past
Speaker 2: one in the morning.
Speaker 1: I did make it to Eagle Bar as well, so yeah,
Speaker 1: wow residence. Wow, I let you choose your music, so
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. Got on you So no, I
Speaker 1: am good, I am really good. It was a lovely,
Speaker 1: lovely weekend, But we're back into it, back into it
Speaker 1: for another week.
Speaker 3: I when we're having some time over the weekend, I
Speaker 3: got to watch one of my new favorite shows that's
Speaker 3: turning into the absolute gayest television show of all time?
Speaker 2: Doctor Who?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Are you were? Are you were? What do they call them?
Speaker 1: Is there a name? Vianovian? Are you a Hoovian?
Speaker 3: I'm becoming a Hoovian?
Speaker 1: Is this because of Is this because your boyfriend he's
Speaker 1: the biggest murder god is?
Speaker 3: We love him but he's such pretty and so geeky. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we actually did watch Harry Potter on the weekend because
Speaker 3: he's really trying to eat those out of me, And
Speaker 3: in a moment of weakness, I was like, oh, go on,
Speaker 3: that was a little bit harder tho, because that was
Speaker 3: one of the ones where I was told about halfway
Speaker 3: into the four and a half hours of the movie
Speaker 3: is that they had to set up because apparently hours
Speaker 3: my eyes were too heavy. But anyway, back to the
Speaker 3: back to the point. So Doctor Who been around for like.
Speaker 1: Years, like literally since the sixties or.
Speaker 3: Something, and I can't speak to the Pastoris I've only
Speaker 3: watched I don't know, maybe this last season a little
Speaker 3: bit of the season before. But anyway, we're watching away
Speaker 3: in this the week that episode that's just gone guest
Speaker 3: starring out one of our other favorite game members of society,
Speaker 3: Jonathan Groff.
Speaker 1: Love Jonathan Groff amazing.
Speaker 3: So the doctor who's played by Shooty Is I think
Speaker 3: he say his name amazing to go from sex education,
Speaker 3: beautiful man. Anyway, starts rolling into the dance floor and
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is getting really gay and they had
Speaker 3: a peshe.
Speaker 1: And it was a gay kiss on Doctor Who.
Speaker 3: I was like, there's gonna be some people in the
Speaker 3: UK that are like really fucking losing this or about.
Speaker 1: This, although it hasn't Dodor who always been a bit
Speaker 1: camped well, but.
Speaker 3: I think because Doctor Who is genderless, and there's been
Speaker 3: in lots of different spaces because he's been a woman
Speaker 3: and lots of feel like that. But this was like
Speaker 3: very like a proper big passion.
Speaker 2: Everything was hot.
Speaker 1: To be fair, I don't watch it, but I just
Speaker 1: know about it, Like bilesmos is kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: being interested in pop culture. The doctor who wants the
Speaker 1: out of Billy Piper, which is like the gayest thing
Speaker 1: you can do. Honey from the Bee Come on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'd recommend giving it a watch. It's it's
Speaker 3: very good fun super camp. Right at the beginning season
Speaker 3: they had like a musicals episode.
Speaker 1: Jinx Monsoon, one of the drag queas from RuPaul's Drag
Speaker 1: Races in Yeah, she.
Speaker 3: Was in an episode not long ago, but very good.
Speaker 3: So if you want to see Shooty and Jonathan Groff
Speaker 3: have a really good passion, I'm in a proper one.
Speaker 1: Like we do regularly talk about TV shows. So we've
Speaker 1: just started watching Normal People, which is actually older. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's the Irish TV show starring not Barry Cogan. Okay,
Speaker 1: who am I thinking?
Speaker 3: Sitting in the big Old House.
Speaker 1: It's like the high school students who, yes, kind of
Speaker 1: fall in love just in weird circumstances. Paul miss School,
Speaker 1: Paul Messcool now Paul med School has helped usher in
Speaker 1: this era of hot men who aren't traditionally hot. Do
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I think Barry Cogan from Saltburn,
Speaker 1: Tim Timothy Chalo May, Jeremy Allen White from the Beer Yeah, very,
Speaker 1: Paul Mescal and they are apparently being called rat boys
Speaker 1: or rodents or rodents.
Speaker 2: I am not across this at all. It's savage.
Speaker 1: I think savage, but I kind of get it.
Speaker 2: So do I. I get it, but it's I'll flick
Speaker 2: you the I'll flick Q and an Instagram post. But as
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, that's savage.
Speaker 3: So can we urban dictionary this? Like is there is
Speaker 3: there a red definition of it?
Speaker 1: The Hot Rodent Boyfriend The Guardian says why jen Z
Speaker 1: has gone wild for sexy rat guys from Timothy's Chalomaye
Speaker 1: to Josh O'Connor. He was in Challenges with Zen Daya.
Speaker 1: He also played a young Prince Charles and the Crown.
Speaker 1: Many of the world's most famous are being compared to
Speaker 1: vermin this summer, and it's meant as a compliment. So
Speaker 1: this is the new thing. Apparently they are sexy rat
Speaker 1: boys or sexy rat men and it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: The internet is going wild for them.
Speaker 2: I mean, I suppose con senses.
Speaker 3: We all said to be quite into them, don't we
Speaker 3: absolutely totally?
Speaker 2: What is this? Instagram account says Golden Retrievers are out,
Speaker 2: the Hot Rodent Boyfriend is in and these celebs past
Speaker 2: the vibe check and other celebs step pockets is just described.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's where gen Z is seeing things at
Speaker 1: the moment, and after watching normal people with poor Mescal,
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm I said to Ryan last night.
Speaker 1: I turned to him and I was like, this guy's
Speaker 1: not like traditionally hot, but man, he's got something about him.
Speaker 1: It's it's the rat ris.
Speaker 2: You reconnect that, do you reckon? It'll get picked up.
Speaker 1: If we put this clip on TikTok talking about the
Speaker 1: rat Ras, it'll go viral. Absolutely, we're down with the kids.
Speaker 1: We are absolutely down.
Speaker 2: Down with the kids. So we've got the cheer emoji
Speaker 2: and rat ras and rats. You know me, I'm living for.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, We'll send us in your favorite who you think
Speaker 3: has got rat rash?
Speaker 1: Who are your ready boyfriends? I mean, if I was
Speaker 1: even described as rat I honestly think I would like
Speaker 1: sit in the cack chair in the corner and cry.
Speaker 1: But now it's meant to be a good It meant
Speaker 1: to be an absolute good thing.
Speaker 2: Oh times are.
Speaker 3: Different, isn't it. So we go back to when we
Speaker 3: were younger, a rat someone with rat ress wouldn't have
Speaker 3: even got a look and not at all.
Speaker 1: We were I don't know, we were classical. We were
Speaker 1: classically hot. Who were the hot guys. I mean we're
Speaker 1: slightly different ages, ever so slightly.
Speaker 2: And it's also hard to know about when we're going back.
Speaker 3: Do we talk about the times like when we were
Speaker 3: out and about or do you take it back to
Speaker 3: our childhood because I'm like Jonathan Taylor Thomas definitely something.
Speaker 3: I didn't know what that meant.
Speaker 1: When it was like teen hits or TV hits, those
Speaker 1: magazines and you could pull out the posters Jonathan Taylor
Speaker 1: Thomas huge in my era. Devin saua massive Josh Hartnett,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, Andre.
Speaker 3: Even though his abs were stuck in.
Speaker 2: That wasn't true.
Speaker 1: That that wasn't true. But it was a real it
Speaker 1: was a real rumor.
Speaker 3: I remember when he came and opened the Georgia Pie
Speaker 3: and put it and eOne was like, oh, you.
Speaker 1: Know, the funniest thing that I think about. So there
Speaker 1: was obviously a rumor that just went around right much
Speaker 1: like I'm sure you heard about the Marilyn Manson exactly
Speaker 1: to give it a blow, we have the internet back then.
Speaker 1: How did these rumors spread?
Speaker 2: Was it page three or something of one of the newspapers?
Speaker 2: Page five?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Absolutely? But it's still got to it's still got to
Speaker 1: spread from the UK to the USA to the little
Speaker 1: old New Zealand later and all the way down from
Speaker 1: Auckland through Palmis, the regions, right down to Queenstown.
Speaker 3: I think someone's just standing there at the Greatest Chairport
Speaker 3: and someone's going off the plane and they're like, mate,
Speaker 3: Peter Andre, he's got ebb and plants.
Speaker 1: Spread it new, spread it.
Speaker 3: I'm on the bus down to Queenstown. I'll take it
Speaker 3: with me.
Speaker 1: It's like the old like the young boys in the
Speaker 1: like nineteen twenties, but like read all about it.
Speaker 3: It's like that newspaper boys say it's kind of like
Speaker 3: Chinese whispers. But I don't think that's a thing anymore.
Speaker 1: No, I'd allowed to say that.
Speaker 3: No, So what is the what is the news?
Speaker 2: Just whispers?
Speaker 1: Literally? I googled it because I was like, what do
Speaker 1: you call it?
Speaker 2: Or was it? Did it come out of a gossip
Speaker 2: column or did someone like you know, a reputable journalist
Speaker 2: to start writing something in a newspaper like to make
Speaker 2: it up? I don't know. Do you think it was it?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's got? It made its way into
Speaker 1: the woman's Day, and then all of our mums found
Speaker 1: out about it because they were reading The Woman's Day
Speaker 1: like it was nobody.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think, what's of like magazine back
Speaker 2: in our day, Like for like a teenager.
Speaker 1: Hits, it was like TV hits, teen hits, smash hits, whatever,
Speaker 1: all the hits, and it would have been right, it
Speaker 1: would have been a little like it would have been
Speaker 1: a little column in the in the whatever hits magazine
Speaker 1: saying Peter Andre has fake abs but.
Speaker 3: Amazingly accurate as well, though, like because that is that's
Speaker 3: the key bit of information, is that right? The Marylyn
Speaker 3: means one is a good example. Had his top roofs
Speaker 3: taken out and sold sacka zone D like everyone knew that.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fake though, right, that wasn't actually a thing.
Speaker 3: No, but I imagine he would have really liked it
Speaker 3: as an idea.
Speaker 2: I mean, good pr for both of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean it had been these days, he
Speaker 3: would have he would have told would have seen something from.
Speaker 2: Proof of it they really wouldn't. Or talking about like
Speaker 2: gay awakenings. Yeah, I was reading on the on the
Speaker 2: Cameline web. Very good, that's very good.
Speaker 1: The idea that you would pick something up and run
Speaker 1: with it as a segue needs applause because usually I'm
Speaker 1: giving you this eye, like, this is a good segue
Speaker 1: for you to bring in something that you put in
Speaker 1: the dark.
Speaker 3: Little faces like.
Speaker 2: It's like man's plaining a joke. It's like meslaining if
Speaker 2: you guys.
Speaker 3: Didn't get there.
Speaker 2: So we talked about keep going, keeck going, We'll keep going.
Speaker 2: So I'm talking about gay weightnings. I was on the
Speaker 2: on the world Wide Web and a couple there was
Speaker 2: on the Instagram and people were sort of talking about
Speaker 2: the gay awakenings and I found it quite interesting. So
Speaker 2: to be interesting to hear if you've got any more,
Speaker 2: and I think we should check it out to the
Speaker 2: Gators definitely. But here's a couple Velma from Scooby Doo.
Speaker 1: I've heard about this for the goals for the girlscra
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she's a bit of a lesbian icon, I think. Really, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 3: And I saw a pert bosom but like not a
Speaker 3: lot of skin.
Speaker 2: Okay, this one. I don't think this is shak horror
Speaker 2: for both boys and girls. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, pretty harm bad hours going is Adams from
Speaker 5: the original like Adams Family in the nineties, Dead Daddy.
Speaker 2: This one is interesting and it kind of we talk
Speaker 2: about Cartones, and we've talked about Cartones before. Beauty the Beast.
Speaker 2: Just saying Jessica Rabbit from who Frame Roger Around is.
Speaker 3: A gay icon?
Speaker 2: Is a gay awake Okay, totally, Yeah, I didn't give
Speaker 2: that one woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a woman, but even for men. There's something
Speaker 1: in inherently gay about finding Jessica Rabbit attractive. I think
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Because she's a woman
Speaker 1: and like a voluptuous woman with beautiful, like luscious locks
Speaker 1: and red lips and everything. There's something quite queer about
Speaker 1: a guy admiring her.
Speaker 2: Or being kind of in the closet and thinking, oh
Speaker 2: my god, she's glam.
Speaker 1: Yes, but actually all you're interested in is the like
Speaker 1: red second that.
Speaker 2: You need to get mom to go and buy a
Speaker 2: pitt because you're raging homosexual and the regions.
Speaker 3: In your size.
Speaker 2: And I don't think they sold them at Bellentos.
Speaker 1: That's so funny, okay, but so gay awaitings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've got a few. But for the gators
Speaker 2: who probably who may not have heard this, one of
Speaker 2: your kind of gay icons was a car Towne or
Speaker 2: you thought was quite.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, beast from Beauty and the Beast and not
Speaker 6: the human form of beast, but they're like animated, animated
Speaker 6: animal form of beast, which sounds awful.
Speaker 1: But he was like this very rugged, like aggressive, big,
Speaker 1: like chested, hairy man. I mean, welcome to my words.
Speaker 2: We can start taking some.
Speaker 1: Between the you, Chriss and Ryan. It's like I'm surrounded
Speaker 1: by them. I think we might have talked about this
Speaker 1: on the podcast before. But Ryan Philippe from Crawl Intentions
Speaker 1: and he got his ass out and it was a
Speaker 1: very cute little bum.
Speaker 3: I think definitely him. And then also would there have
Speaker 3: been josh Harden the other one that was like the
Speaker 3: closet and then with the guy from the basketball team
Speaker 3: and I didn't know why that was so hot, but now.
Speaker 1: I know, No, you're thinking of Joshua Jackson Crawl intention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was in bed with Ryan.
Speaker 3: Yes, no, it was it with the jock from the
Speaker 3: high school and he was like, oh, you come too quick.
Speaker 1: The other one for me was because I was obsessed
Speaker 1: with Big Brother, the Australian version, and they used to
Speaker 1: have Big Brother and cart on a Friday night, which
Speaker 1: was basically porn. You just got to watch people shower
Speaker 1: a naked. And there was a guy called Blair who
Speaker 1: was in the first season of Big Brother Australia and
Speaker 1: he was such a cutie and you got to watch
Speaker 1: him like shower naked on a Friday night.
Speaker 2: And they used to talk about having a larup? What's
Speaker 2: a laraph? So it was Big and Big Brother, Like
Speaker 2: what's a larup? Was that covid that they had come
Speaker 2: up with? I think so?
Speaker 1: Right? They Brother, I'm sure they did. I mean Big Brother.
Speaker 1: Back in the day. They were literally in there for
Speaker 1: like if you got to the end, you were in
Speaker 1: there for three months. Really, there's no way you could
Speaker 1: go three months without a cheek.
Speaker 3: No, definitely not. Otherwise you'd just be painting the bed chets,
Speaker 3: wouldn't you. And you'd rather just you'd rather have big
Speaker 3: control of the narrative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Blair from Big Brother was a big one
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 3: What about like early days like Batman and Robin, like
Speaker 3: when they were just like really big and bulky, like
Speaker 3: when as a Chris Evans I think it was Chris o'donald.
Speaker 2: What about like look at that, It's.
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, like that is hot.
Speaker 3: He's wearing like his normal Batman sude, but he's even
Speaker 3: got little nipples.

Speaker 1: A hot peering and Batman and Robin are absolutely rain raging. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a cute little twink hanging out with a like hot daddy,
Speaker 1: hot rich daddy. Hello.
Speaker 3: And it's a great meme the other day where it
Speaker 3: was like talking about you know, relationships like this on
Speaker 3: the Insane people are like, oh, this is what people
Speaker 3: think gay relationships are like, but what they're really like.
Speaker 3: And it was just a little meme of buton Ernie
Speaker 3: and sitting in the to each other.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I was like it seen the
Speaker 2: same show to car, same thing any when I was
Speaker 2: I was a late camerader. Yeah, I was thinking about
Speaker 2: this the other day and I think like Peter Andre
Speaker 2: was was definitely up there for like I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: he's doing things for me like you know, my early
Speaker 2: like or late teens, as long as he and maybe
Speaker 2: a bit of Carlos Spencer on the Puffy Popp heads
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah yeah, and once upon a time Kellie
Speaker 2: Slater was really hot.
Speaker 3: Yeah still is he still.
Speaker 2: Is, but I was like really like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: he's so fucking hot.
Speaker 3: I've never surfed ever, but I definitely had some surfing magazine.
Speaker 2: Yes, so like no, no surf or beach around Parmer snows.

Speaker 2: Sef magazine might pick up one day.
Speaker 1: I was there or it was walking around Farmers into
Speaker 1: the underwear see, and you'll be like the goal in
Speaker 1: the end.

Speaker 2: What's someone needs to work on something like that where
Speaker 2: it does transforming straight away when you put the on anyway,
Speaker 2: So that's if you've got I want to share, let's
Speaker 2: put that.
Speaker 1: Put that on the story, on the Instagram.
Speaker 3: Story I've made, I've made a note of it. I've

Speaker 1: Oh Tom Daily athletes? Is it Tom Daily? Look?
Speaker 3: Who is the new face of scarves at Spotlight?

Speaker 1: Their Advertessman, i'd imagine so.
Speaker 3: But yes, so that named it's a Spotlight of I've

Speaker 2: I I could wear Tom around my neck as a
Speaker 2: winters as well. Front back.
Speaker 1: We the thing about Spotlight, love them, what a great store.
Speaker 1: But if you sign up to their loyalty program, which
Speaker 1: I stupidly did once they Bombarde you like I get.
Speaker 1: I get almost like buy buy weekly texts from them
Speaker 1: about some sort of deal.
Speaker 2: What you into Spotlight like a great store?
Speaker 1: What did you do some knitting needles? It was sequence
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago our niece turned five and
Speaker 1: no last year August last year, our niece turned five
Speaker 1: and me and Ryan had decided we were going to
Speaker 1: each bake a cake for our niece.
Speaker 2: I remember this from the Internet.
Speaker 1: And we went to Spotlight to get some baking goods.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well done. Nice, it's the spot to go. I
Speaker 2: love is it there.
Speaker 3: I've got a real good life hack for you, which
Speaker 3: I've started in my life. Here's two life acts, actually,
Speaker 3: and it comes down to dyms. First of all, if
Speaker 3: you just open your emails and search unsubscribe in the
Speaker 3: in your email things, you can find a whole bunch
Speaker 3: of them leads right away. But what I do now,
Speaker 3: when someone them in a store and they're trying to
Speaker 3: be like, oh, do you want to start up to
Speaker 3: the deal? I say, will it make this just any
Speaker 3: cheaper today? And if they say no, I say no,
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, to take that with you, I will.
Speaker 2: I'll put that in my pocket. It was great.
Speaker 1: Hey. I talked recently about how I went to My
Speaker 1: license had expired and I had to go and get
Speaker 1: a new driver's license, which of course involved a new
Speaker 1: driver's license.
Speaker 2: Photo well, photo shoot, photo shoot.
Speaker 1: So it had been obviously ten years since my last license,
Speaker 1: and when I got there, I gave them my old license,
Speaker 1: and the lady that was serving me was weirdly taken
Speaker 1: by my old driver's license photo, which I honestly thought
Speaker 1: was neither here nor there. Was really not nothing special,
Speaker 1: and I can, you know, I look at a photo
Speaker 1: and I can be like, that's a really nice photo
Speaker 1: of me. I'm not like too ashamed or humble to
Speaker 1: say when I think a nice photo is mood of
Speaker 1: me is taken. This was not a particularly special photo
Speaker 1: of me, but anyway, she was like, this is so handsome,
Speaker 1: we have to recreate this. So she took five different
Speaker 1: photos of me, unimpressed with all with all of the
Speaker 1: four before the last one that we talked.
Speaker 3: I just loved it that she's treated this like she's
Speaker 3: she's got men cleaning here. She's really she's it's the
Speaker 3: Vogue shirt. He's dressed nicely. The light's a right, but
Speaker 3: a morning light coming in. She's like, I'm gonna fucking
Speaker 3: nail this.
Speaker 1: It was mortifying because there were so many people in line,
Speaker 1: like it was so busy there. I just get on
Speaker 1: with it. Customer service lovely, but unnecessary. She was like
Speaker 1: pulling over a colleague at one point to like to
Speaker 1: confer on whether they thought this photo was good enough.
Speaker 1: So the last photo they got of me because I
Speaker 1: said to them, is it like a passport where you
Speaker 1: have to do a neutral face? And they said, no,
Speaker 1: you can't smile when you have driver's license. And I
Speaker 1: said great, I'm very much an open smile kind of
Speaker 1: a guy. The last thing they said to me was
Speaker 1: close your mouth, to try one without your teeth, and
Speaker 1: I did it, and I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't like photos of myself when I've got my
Speaker 1: mouth closed. It's the photo they chose.
Speaker 3: The one with my mouth closed.
Speaker 1: So I present to you this is what This is
Speaker 1: the best they could do with five photos of mouth,
Speaker 1: five different photos of me.
Speaker 2: She set you out, She absolutely sent me. She has
Speaker 2: set you up. I mean initially great customers, so she
Speaker 2: has Can I see.
Speaker 3: How you can? You could definitely, so you could ask
Speaker 3: for a recount. I think one hundred. You've got that
Speaker 3: for teen years ten fucking although to be fair, what
Speaker 3: she also watch out and she stretched out to the side,
Speaker 3: so you can always stout to people and be like, well,
Speaker 3: when I first got the size and sounds just a
Speaker 3: little bit bigger in the face, I am as you
Speaker 3: are much skinny mortified.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not look it's not. It's not the
Speaker 1: worst photo of myself I've ever seen, but I just thought,
Speaker 1: are five bow shows, this is the best you could do?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: Keep that went, Keep that went deep.
Speaker 2: In the wallet. I might use the you know, you
Speaker 2: can sign up for the email thing when I go
Speaker 2: and get my photo. Does it kind of cost me
Speaker 2: or take more than five voters?
Speaker 1: Guy, we might have to put that up on the
Speaker 1: Instagram story as well, so you can go and have
Speaker 1: a look at that.
Speaker 3: We should do like it before and after, so you
Speaker 3: ten years ago in you now so people can work
Speaker 3: out with you to keep and not kept it totally.
Speaker 3: I didn't tell you at the time, but when I
Speaker 3: went and got I felt like, this is long enough.
Speaker 3: Now that's statue of limitations. That's fine.
Speaker 2: The last I got my.
Speaker 3: License photo taken it was on a day that I
Speaker 3: had unfortunately had a week car accident. I'd pulled out
Speaker 3: of a driveway where I didn't quite look properly, got
Speaker 3: a bit nervous and done it, and then realized after
Speaker 3: that that my driver's license had expired months beforehand. I
Speaker 3: had to feeling like, oh no, do a heave any insurance?
Speaker 2: So I went and got it.
Speaker 3: So my phone it was just all of me with
Speaker 3: a really white face, being like petrified, quick quick. The
Speaker 3: same day, maybe in the morning, I had the quest
Speaker 3: like later in the morning, says laminations was.
Speaker 1: Years totally You're fine, You're fine, You're fine.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 1: I did you guys ever watch Baby Reindeer?
Speaker 2: Heaven't you loved it?
Speaker 1: The woman who played Martha, her name is Jessica Gunning,
Speaker 1: amazing actress. She was on a podcast recently and she
Speaker 1: revealed something really personal about herself, which I just was
Speaker 1: listening to it and it was really a really beautiful
Speaker 1: reminder of what this experience can be, Like I'm going
Speaker 1: to play this for you.
Speaker 4: A big thing happened to me and maybe I'll just
Speaker 4: talk about it. I came out actually in November twenty two.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: That was a mega, mega thing for me. And that
Speaker 4: was like a massive moment where everything kind of clicked
Speaker 4: and I made sense for myself then, because for so
Speaker 4: long I'd thought and I'm a bigger woman, and I
Speaker 4: thought maybe it was to do with like my size,
Speaker 4: but I felt a little bit almost alien or like
Speaker 4: I was tagging along. But as soon as I realized,
Speaker 4: I was like, no, it's that And that was like
Speaker 4: the most liberating thing. And there's a really emotional thing
Speaker 4: actually in Baby Reindew where Johnny talks about sleeping for
Speaker 4: the first time it's parents' house, and I told my
Speaker 4: family in Christmas that year, and I like scept for
Speaker 4: like ten hours, am I yeah, because I kind of
Speaker 4: was like, oh, that's what.
Speaker 1: This has been.
Speaker 2: It's been like a little secret I.
Speaker 4: Guess I've been keeping from myself even.
Speaker 1: And it just you can hear you can hear both
Speaker 1: the pain and the relief in her voice, which I
Speaker 1: think we all know very well, right the pain of
Speaker 1: what you've the secret you've been holding on to for
Speaker 1: so long, but the relief of I don't have to
Speaker 1: hold on to the secret anymore. And it was just
Speaker 1: a beautiful reminder of no matter how far you've come
Speaker 1: in life and how long you've been out for what
Speaker 1: that process is like for people. And I just thought
Speaker 1: she just encapsulated it so perfectly without even I think,
Speaker 1: meaning to encapsulate it so perfectly, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was so beautiful. It was just yeah, it was lovely
Speaker 1: to watch. So well done, well done, and welcome, welcome.
Speaker 1: We love it.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 1: Also, Brad, go watch Baby Reindeers.
