Speaker 3: and dad were out and you were at my house
Speaker 3: and no one was home. Luke my oldest brother, he
Speaker 3: was also out out at the races.
Speaker 4: Went somewhere.
Speaker 3: He is at the races in his suit. Yeah. And
Speaker 3: we were in the back room watching a movie. And
Speaker 3: as you do when you're that young and in love,
Speaker 3: movie turns into more of an affliction moment. Yeah, read
Speaker 3: mind and the back room to paint a picture to everyone,
Speaker 3: because you run a photo, you'd want a picture of these.
Speaker 3: The TV's on the wall, couch up against the up
Speaker 3: against the wall as well opposite wall. Huge window. Window
Speaker 3: doesn't go to anywhere, just the backyard, garage door and
Speaker 3: the garage door. So no one's homes, No one's going
Speaker 3: to see anything.
Speaker 1: Not the actual garage door, but the door to get
Speaker 1: into the garage.
Speaker 3: So yeah, only if you woulddge to drive in the
Speaker 3: garage and you park your car and you walk out
Speaker 3: of the garage door, you would see a display that's
Speaker 3: going on in the in the back room. And so
Speaker 3: we were Netflix and chilling all sorts of Netflix and
Speaker 3: chilled positions. This this was back when you were adventurous,
Speaker 3: I'd say, you know you anymore? You were a young
Speaker 3: twenty year old full of test, toss to rone. I'm
Speaker 3: still you know, still trying to impress me. I guess
Speaker 3: you know, still the deal. So you know I was
Speaker 3: up on the count down the look out, leg up up,
Speaker 3: you know it's good. Back then, it's pretty textbookshit. Now,
Speaker 3: you know, it's more about time now when you've been married,
Speaker 3: we've been together ten years, nine years this year, you

Speaker 3: the arm. Literally, I couldn't stand looking into your eyes.
Speaker 3: Why I'm the lights off gal? Now you know back then,
Speaker 3: and I mentioned the lights were sucking on back then
Speaker 3: because I liked my body back then. AnyWho. So yeah,
Speaker 3: it's very vulnerable positions, very vulnerable positions. And I know
Speaker 3: it will probably like seven minutes into the full and
Speaker 3: again back then it would have been probably going for
Speaker 3: half an hour.
Speaker 1: You feel like, yeah, I feel like you are not.
Speaker 3: And I remember being I was standing on top of
Speaker 3: the count and you were you were standing on the floor,
Speaker 3: so our too. What would you say? Like two body
Speaker 3: parts were equal to each other to make it work.
Speaker 3: And I remember hearing the garage door open and making
Speaker 3: direct fucking eye contact with my brother. Did right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you did to act because you were looking the same direction.
Speaker 3: And I literally fucking died and I fell to the floor,
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh my god, oh my god,

Speaker 3: Then the next morning, Mom and dad come home and
Speaker 3: we're all sitting at breakfast and they went for a walk. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and then for a walk, and we're all chilling at
Speaker 3: the kitchen table, and I was like, didn't even remember

Speaker 3: then my mom, out of nowhere, goes, well at length,
Speaker 3: someone in this house is getting something and that is
Speaker 3: fucking fairal.
Speaker 1: That stories it never gets old. But you know what
Speaker 1: never gets old. You never know what's going to come

Speaker 1: when he says something, you just go, you just sit
Speaker 1: down and go what's going to come out of his mouth?
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, it's terrifying.
Speaker 1: But that story, and then after that I realized with
Speaker 1: your family everything was open.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, that's it, Like everything was just out there,
Speaker 5: and I was like, that's not normal.
Speaker 3: Nothing's off guards Like we go the toilet with the
Speaker 3: door open. Dad would fucking be naked in the bathroom
Speaker 3: and not shut the door. And I'll walk up the
Speaker 3: stairs and see his ass right back, and there you
Speaker 3: see my dad's ask plenty of plenty of times. Yeah, nice,
Speaker 3: he wishes. Actually no, he's got a swimmers Ask what's
Speaker 3: that means? He swam his whole life. They like have
Speaker 3: a nice shaped body where big shoulders, small, small waist,
Speaker 3: small as Really, it's what Sue says.
Speaker 5: At least, Yeah, you thinks she's a gymnast, she thinks
Speaker 5: she's a soccer player, she thinks she knows the weather.
Speaker 4: That's one thing about your parents that I love over
Speaker 4: their house.
Speaker 3: They know when it's Suly, the.
Speaker 1: Breeze comes in all that's that southerly year.
Speaker 3: Anything to avoid not turning the aircorn on, and they
Speaker 3: will go to the fucking heights to not turn the ear.
Speaker 1: Thirty degree day They've looked up when the breeze is
Speaker 1: coming in.
Speaker 3: Literally although suddenly's going to hit my cello in about
Speaker 3: two hours, so we can hold off, we can hold out.
Speaker 3: Do you remember when you did start sleeping over at
Speaker 3: our house and there were there's some fucking hot days
Speaker 3: in Sydney forty degrees and overnight it is just hell.
Speaker 3: And I remember you going to my mom with dad
Speaker 3: your suit edge. I beg you, I will pay the
Speaker 3: energy bill, just please turn the fucking air and they
Speaker 3: look at each other and go, it's not that bad,
Speaker 3: is it. Have you got the window open?
Speaker 1: And then like as rich coming for me, because when
Speaker 1: I was young, we never had acorn in our house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you're training, it's like, man, you need it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is the perfect difference between our family
Speaker 3: and your family, right my feeling your family, Your family
Speaker 3: like very working class, especially like you growing up. Your
Speaker 3: mum worked three fucking jobs to put your guys in school,
Speaker 3: give you the best life ever. But you wouldn't know that.
Speaker 3: You went like, you wouldn't know if you were struggling
Speaker 3: or anything, because your mom made sure you guys always
Speaker 3: had a lot of food, always brought you the Nike
Speaker 3: shoes you wanted. Right, she just would shut up and
Speaker 3: work the extra shit no econ and home Brandon to
Speaker 3: tell her, as you say all the time, my fucking
Speaker 3: family mate, Like, God knows the financial strains they had,
Speaker 3: but it was like we were fucking poor, living paycheck
Speaker 3: to paycheck on struggle Street. I remember when bananas there
Speaker 3: was a cyclone in Queensland, so bananas were really fucking expensive.
Speaker 3: My Dad's heid, this is your last banana. We're not
Speaker 3: having these for months. I said, well, why come we
Speaker 3: up bananas? No air con. Every time there's a power
Speaker 3: switched off, straight away I'd go to use the microwave.
Speaker 3: What's the Dad, the micro microwaves broke it. No, I
Speaker 3: I've just turned it off at the powerboy and turn
Speaker 3: it back on. But I need this every fucking hour,
Speaker 3: so I'm turning it off from the switch.
Speaker 1: It's a clever way to save money. My mom used
Speaker 1: to do that as all. However, I think like when
Speaker 1: you get to an age and you were working as all,
Speaker 1: but in saying that as well, you never really paid
Speaker 1: any board at home.
Speaker 3: Bullshit. I paid board as soon as I got my
Speaker 3: first full, first full time job.
Speaker 1: In your in your parents' defense, right in their defense.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to load ball you here, but
Speaker 1: I don't care. Your board was fifty bucks a month.
Speaker 3: You're fucking lying. It was fifty dollars a fortnight.
Speaker 4: It wasn't a month.
Speaker 3: It was a fortnight a month, one hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 3: So I remember saying, fuck, this is gonna say it.
Speaker 1: It was a month, fifty dollars a month, and I
Speaker 1: can run it back with your mother. Your board, well,
Speaker 1: mane some stays. I was paid the electricity bills sometimes good.
Speaker 3: So you should because you'd have been playing PlayStation.
Speaker 4: This is the matter. You would have been.
Speaker 1: You would have been in the bathroom using the power.
Speaker 1: You would have been downstairs with the you're straight and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. So you bring yourself right
Speaker 1: back down. Please fuck you.
Speaker 3: Fuck you and your ship. I think, coming from a lecture,
Speaker 3: it's the truth. We had to. Did you have fox
Speaker 3: steel growing up, which is like Sky, Yes, yeah you did. Yeah.
Speaker 3: We had to beg and beg and I remember we
Speaker 3: only Dad said, you will only get the basic channels.
Speaker 3: And I remember one time Fox Stell fucked up and
Speaker 3: we we out of nowhere got Disney and it was
Speaker 3: like Christmas. I remember seeing like Sweet Life of Zack
Speaker 3: and Cody.
Speaker 1: You'd like to give you a deal and scot all
Speaker 1: of these times, We'll give you the channel.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, because I remember one time Dad got the
Speaker 3: bill and Fox still had gone up like two dollars
Speaker 3: and he rang them and so I'm fucking canceling. I'm cancy.
Speaker 3: And then they yeah, because he just threatens them, and
Speaker 3: then they go, okay, Angel, we'll put you back on
Speaker 3: the plane you were on and we'll well that will
Speaker 3: keep your plan and we won't cancel on here. Yeah
Speaker 3: for two dollars.
Speaker 1: Well that's yeah, that's why they live really comfortably now
Speaker 1: because all those sacrifice struggle.
Speaker 3: Every day. They live like they're struggling. You know what.
Speaker 3: They're saving up for.
Speaker 1: The power bills, the Fox Tell bills. That's why they
Speaker 1: can put their feet up here and they're not work
Speaker 1: every day.
Speaker 4: So it's a credit to them.
Speaker 3: Cool, why don't you go and marry them?
Speaker 1: Oh? Thank you, I'll pop in here and there though.
Speaker 3: You're nice, yep, yep nice. Yeah. I'm just thinking. All
Speaker 3: this chat has got me thinking about the first time
Speaker 3: you met my family. What were your first impressions?
Speaker 4: Beautiful people?
Speaker 3: No bullshit?
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
Speaker 3: Oh shit? I remember we were dating for like six
Speaker 3: months and then you finally asked me to be your
Speaker 3: girlfriend on New Year's Eve in the most anti comedic way. Mate,
Speaker 3: Just say, I picked you up from the air box
Speaker 3: you had just leaded from Fiji as New Year's Evil,
Speaker 3: stuck in traffic on the M four because we will
Speaker 3: be going out paramatta. Yeah, and you go, oh, do
Speaker 3: you want to be my girlfriend?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You said that? And I was like, oh, well
Speaker 3: that was a bit ship you when you and me.
Speaker 1: Fucking dude.
Speaker 3: I was like, well, there he goes the romance. And
Speaker 3: then I remember saying to you, where the fox your luggage?
Speaker 3: You've just been away for three weeks and I just
Speaker 3: left it all there.
Speaker 4: That's how it works.
Speaker 3: So you leave everything there, everything except the clothes that
Speaker 3: you wear. Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 1: So you go you go there for full bag all
Speaker 1: your clothes and then you come back. You leave everything
Speaker 1: there because all your cousins, all my cousins took everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, wonder we haven't been back there because ain't
Speaker 3: doing that very strategic.
Speaker 1: If we go there, Yeah, you'll be coming back with nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, because yeah, it's so different over there, Like
Speaker 3: how much is protein powder over there? I don't know,
Speaker 3: I remember that a stat reading a stat of protein
Speaker 3: powder in Fiji? Or maybe when did you see this show?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: But I remember seeing it was like like four hundred
Speaker 3: dollars or something for protein powder?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Am I talking absolute shit?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I must speak because if you're looking shock, the.

Speaker 4: That's your quality time.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying, and that's what social media
Speaker 1: gets you hooked on everything.
Speaker 3: We don't need to do quality time anymore. We have
Speaker 3: this one hour a week that's more than enough.
Speaker 4: Perfect.
Speaker 3: That is absolutely amazing. But yeah, when when you first
Speaker 3: came over after six months of waiting, asking me out,
Speaker 3: and I remember your message to me and your car saying, hey,
Speaker 3: im out the front. And I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: if we're dating now, like officially, you need to come

Speaker 3: my car till you're ready to come out. I was like,
Speaker 3: get the fucking the house before my mom comes out
Speaker 3: and bashes the fuck out of here. And I remember
Speaker 3: you walked in and my parents were watching the sopranos.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was like a fucking a thing,
Speaker 3: like a threat to send you and then yeah, the
Speaker 3: rest is history that Yeah, they were nice people though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when when I walked in, what did she say?

Speaker 1: right then and there. No one holds onto it, there's
Speaker 1: no baggage, there's no no one bottles anything up. You
Speaker 1: empty it then and there and it's done.
Speaker 3: I would love to one day compare how you guys
Speaker 3: talk to each other at training to the way we
Speaker 3: talk to each other in a corporate setting. Why, honest

Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like when you got to sign
Speaker 1: a contract, like if you're on breakfast radio or that's
Speaker 1: your contract, right yep, for us, you sign the contract,
Speaker 1: but you still got to fulfill that just a player.
Speaker 3: Well, it's like that. It's like that, Oh do you
Speaker 3: mean like you could get dropped.
Speaker 1: And then if you're breakfast radio, they don't go No
Speaker 1: this week you're going to go on afternoon radio. Yeah.
Speaker 3: True, that's a good point. But they might not get
Speaker 3: their contract renewed in three years. But yeah, at least.
Speaker 1: I've got that got three years, they've got three years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true, and can happen in three years with us
Speaker 1: as soon as you know, if the case doesn't want
Speaker 1: you to play, or I think you're not about bad.
Speaker 3: Form gone, And that's where that honest feedback comes into play.
Speaker 1: Hey, it has to be, and that's why I bring
Speaker 1: it home. I think it's important.
Speaker 3: Don't think you should bring it home.
Speaker 4: I think it's important.
Speaker 3: Guess what this is for life? Baby, and nobody here
Speaker 3: getting relegated?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still well, sometimes I'm relegated to the doghouse always.
Speaker 3: You're about to after this too. Have you ever given
Speaker 3: me honest feedback? And I've ever taken it on board?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, you have.
Speaker 3: It doesn't sound like me. I don't do well with you.
Speaker 1: Don't initially leadership, that's not toxically.
Speaker 3: I don't do well.
Speaker 4: If you're not honest.
Speaker 3: No, I believe in honesty. I don't like being told
Speaker 3: what to do, how to act, what to think what. Yeah,
Speaker 3: every single job I've had I did not respond well
Speaker 3: to a boss. And that's why I'm hoping this fucking
Speaker 3: podcast goes somewhere, because there ain't not many jobs left
Speaker 3: there for me out there.
Speaker 1: I think you'd respond to a boss that I was
Speaker 1: honest with you?
Speaker 3: Oh, I appreciate my current boss at the Hits, but again,
Speaker 3: radio is such a different I used to work at
Speaker 3: the airport. I had a micro manager and we had
Speaker 3: some words. Yeah I don't. I don't do well with
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Yeah, that's why when you tell me
Speaker 3: what to do, I rebel. Yeah yep, so you tell
Speaker 3: me to flush the toilet, I won't flush it out
Speaker 3: of spite.
Speaker 4: That's what's different even for me too.
Speaker 1: Like I was talking to Leon, Leon's my best mate
Speaker 1: the other day and he's going through a job change,
Speaker 1: and he was asking me for advice, and I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Bro, what fuck are you doing? That should call me?
Speaker 5: I've never had to work like in a I mean,
Speaker 5: I know how to go for a interview, yeah, for
Speaker 5: a job, because I've always I'm not always but and
Speaker 5: not saying it to be an asshole, like I worked
Speaker 5: hard to get where I am.
Speaker 1: But in saying that, it's I think, like, I don't
Speaker 1: have to get to a job interview. I've always played.
Speaker 1: I played in a l but.
Speaker 3: Then when you off, when you were off contract, you
Speaker 3: had to go for an interview. Yeah yeah, so that's
Speaker 3: an interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's different, right because I've got a manager
Speaker 1: that that negotiates, yeah, the stipulations of my contract. The
Speaker 1: bad guy where he was, you know, like he's he's
Speaker 1: trying to negotiate his own money. How much is he
Speaker 1: going to be how much as how much is he
Speaker 1: going to ask for? And I'm like, bro, that's that's scary.
Speaker 4: That's hard. Yeah, that's hard to do because.
Speaker 1: You're your own like, you know, like you got to
Speaker 1: go in there, brave hard and say no, I want
Speaker 1: this much.
Speaker 4: You know where I got someone that does that for me,
Speaker 4: you know. So that's yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm grateful to be to you know, to do
Speaker 1: what I do because I love what I do. But
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot different.
Speaker 3: Very insightful. It's nice to see this maturity come out
Speaker 3: of you. Thanks for that to speaking of your chol
Speaker 3: speaking of your work. You're often away a lot of
Speaker 3: the time, which leaves me by myself at home with
Speaker 3: my best friend Louis. Louis is sitting on my lap
Speaker 3: right now. He is a miniature dash hound. He's a
Speaker 3: beautiful what color would you say? This is? Red? Brownish?
Speaker 4: Ree asshold brown nothing.
Speaker 3: He is a bigger bitch than I am. So you've
Speaker 3: been away for the weekend, right, so I've been just
Speaker 3: having to cook for myself, which may I say, is
Speaker 3: fucking amazing. My favorite part of you leaving this house
Speaker 3: every time is that I don't have to cook you
Speaker 3: three course meals. And on Saturday night, I opted for
Speaker 3: just some plain noodles with prawns and dumplings. Yes, quite
Speaker 3: a nice meal, I thought, and I had I had
Speaker 3: done all the cooking right, and I thought, because dumplings,
Speaker 3: they're easy. I just bought the ones in the packet
Speaker 3: and it said, oh for a tip.
Speaker 1: That's not cooking.
Speaker 3: Then I didn't say I made them from scratch, claiming
Speaker 3: to and don't make the noodles from scratch either, just
Speaker 3: all packet food. AnyWho, what you're dooker? Can you explain
Speaker 3: what douka means in what like thank you nice? To
Speaker 3: clear that up for the audience because not everyone speaks Fiji.
Speaker 3: And so I A tip on the packet said to
Speaker 3: make it really nice and crispy. Boil them like steam
Speaker 3: the dumplings in the fry pan over a lid, then
Speaker 3: take the lid off and then pan fry them in oil.
Speaker 3: And I was like, that sounds amazing. You know, two
Speaker 3: birds with one stone, so I've I've steamed them and
Speaker 3: I've gone all this nice and squishy. I'll take the
Speaker 3: lid off and pan fry them. And then that was it.
Speaker 3: I put in a plate. You happen to call me?
Speaker 3: Your face tied me. But a lovely chat for how
Speaker 3: long would you say? That was on Saturday night?
Speaker 1: And now a few times?
Speaker 3: Yeah you did?
Speaker 1: You did so I can't remember.
Speaker 3: Well the long one, yeah, forty minutes minimum. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I've enjoyed that chat with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no, we've.
Speaker 3: We've gotten off the phone, and I've looked around the
Speaker 3: house and gone, why is the house filled with smoke?
Speaker 3: And I'm looking everywhere thinking, what's happened? What's on fire?
Speaker 3: Look at Louis. Louis passed out from smoke. And I've
Speaker 3: gone to the stove. What do you reckon's happened?
Speaker 1: You left the stove on, Yeah.
Speaker 3: With the fry pans still on top of the stove.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what with the dumplings in there?
Speaker 3: No, I had eaten the dumplings.
Speaker 4: So you just left it on. Yeah, and the pan
Speaker 4: was cooking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know there's a nice fry You spent
Speaker 3: a lot of money on just one of them's completely
Speaker 3: fucking right off. Yeah, I've got it downstairs. I've been
Speaker 3: hiding it from you since she got home. Yeah. Sorry,
Speaker 3: I know. And it's charcoal black now, and I've tried
Speaker 3: to scrub. I tried to scrub so hard. Should I
Speaker 3: go get it? Yeah, okay, I'll be back. You just
Speaker 3: keep the audience company. I'll be two seconds.
Speaker 1: Oh and you know what the funny thing about that
Speaker 1: is she sprayed me for going and spending all that
Speaker 1: money on buying them. Yeah, she got upset at me.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you spend this much money on buying it
Speaker 1: and then bang, she focks it. You can show me
Speaker 1: because you know what it could be. It could be
Speaker 1: completely broken, or could just be Fijian broken.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember how I broke the rice cooker.
Speaker 1: You break that as well.
Speaker 3: I told you I left it on. Sorry, I'm made
Speaker 3: of breath. I left the rice cooker on the stove,
Speaker 3: and the stove was on it. It melted through the
Speaker 3: whole bottom. That's why we haven't had rice in ages. Anyhow,
Speaker 3: it's done, it's done. It's completely broken. There's the fry beer.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I tried scrubbing that one.
Speaker 1: Come out that looks like a big black hole.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So is that Fiji and broken or is that broken? Broken?
Speaker 1: It's broken using it, Taylor, I.
Speaker 3: Know so, but like, don't facetimey during dinner.
Speaker 1: No, no, you can't know you do. You can't blame you sho, look.
Speaker 3: At the time and go Okay in Brisbane it's what four,
Speaker 3: so it's six in New Zealand. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: call her because I know she's eating.
Speaker 1: You can't blame me for this, because you know you've
Speaker 1: got to be responsible when I'm away. Yes, dad, No, No,
Speaker 1: it's not even about dad. You know you got to
Speaker 1: be responsible. Like that's ridiculous. That's an expensive front.
Speaker 3: And this is the lesson. Don't buy stupid fucking expense.
Speaker 3: See shiitse, I'm just going to break it.
Speaker 1: No, we needed those because those can go in the oven.
Speaker 1: That's why we bought those ones. That's why I spend
Speaker 1: that money.
Speaker 3: You know what I think the lesson in this is
Speaker 3: I think I should give my chef hat to you
Speaker 3: and you should cook me dinner from now because since
Speaker 3: you're so perfect and you won't ruin everything, and you
Speaker 3: can cook rice and a rice cooker and you know
Speaker 3: how to cook fucking all these luxes and curries that
Speaker 3: I've never tasted my fucking life. All you can do
Speaker 3: is lamb on the barbecue.
Speaker 1: That is not cooking, which is fair, that's cooking, it's
Speaker 1: not You know, maybe you're right, Maybe I do, Maybe
Speaker 1: I do cook those here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bring your mom up, since she's an amazing cook,
Speaker 3: and get her to teach you.
Speaker 1: The one thing I'll know if I do cook, I
Speaker 1: won't burn the frying pan.
Speaker 3: Wait and see how you talk a big game for
Speaker 3: someone that's never fucking done it before.
Speaker 1: I guess I won't break my rice cooker either.
Speaker 3: Really, well, you love to buy a new one first
Speaker 3: it's gone, she's done. I throw it out when you
Speaker 3: weren't home it it was breaking. We could, but we
Speaker 3: could kill ourselves if I kept using it from Brisbane
Speaker 3: and I guess what they sell them in New Zealand too.
Speaker 3: You know you can make rice on a You don't
Speaker 3: need a rice cooking you make rice.
Speaker 1: On a sto. I'm telling you this.
Speaker 3: I can't tell her. I'm scared of my moum. That's
Speaker 3: why she's twenty seven years old. I ruled my own world.
Speaker 1: Did you tell her about this already.
Speaker 3: I told her about that. She was laughing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I want to watch. She didn't charge me
Speaker 1: for the dice, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mom's getting us shipped a dice and filter because
Speaker 3: we can't get them with New Zealand. So on the
Speaker 3: on the topic of you being away and meaningly killing
Speaker 3: the house and the dry pans and the rice cookers
Speaker 3: and all that. The rice cookers months ago when I
Speaker 3: broke that, I just haven't told you because I'm like,
Speaker 3: we haven't needed to have rice yet.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well that's why you've just been cooking the
Speaker 1: oars over then.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's nicer anyways, it's like an Italian rice. It's
Speaker 3: fine in the corporate world. At the moment, it is
Speaker 3: flu season and it is rampant, ramps running rampage. I
Speaker 3: don't know if any running rampant is that the character
Speaker 3: see where you see you, I'm mister English. Well, it's
Speaker 3: running a muck around the office to say no, because
Speaker 3: once you correct me, I don't like knowing that you're right,
Speaker 3: So I just move on and I at the moment
Speaker 3: my throat's fucked. Our producer Adam's got a mask on
Speaker 3: because he doesn't want to get us more sick, you
Speaker 3: guys when like I probably got this off you because
Speaker 3: no I did. You're on the lemp SIPs this weekend.
Speaker 3: You and your fucking teen It's like being married to
Speaker 3: you is like being married to a kidding daycare. You
Speaker 3: bring that much shit home and then I just cop it.
Speaker 3: It's exhausting.
Speaker 4: Oh well, put up with it, mate.
Speaker 3: I remember when Ring one was going around everywhere and
Speaker 3: everywhere what who the fuck starts that?
Speaker 1: It's just because when when you sweat a lot and
Speaker 1: we wrestle, and because he wrestled, that's how it spreads.
Speaker 3: M yeah, feral Yeah. I took down a whole department
Speaker 3: last year with the flu because you, Taho had a
Speaker 3: really bad flu.
Speaker 4: So who gave it?
Speaker 3: And then he gave it to you? And then you
Speaker 3: gave it to me and then I coughed on mania
Speaker 3: at work from my six. He took down his whole department,
Speaker 3: the heart Radio apartment, and then I said, sucked in.
Speaker 4: That was who's fault it was.
Speaker 3: It all goes back to that.
Speaker 1: We got to think we we fly every second week,
Speaker 1: we're traveling. We're on the plane mainly when we're coming
Speaker 1: back from games. You know, we're like, he's coming back.
Speaker 1: The body is still recovering. The bodies at a low
Speaker 1: in terms of how it's feeling, like we've just just
Speaker 1: played eighty minutes and flogged ourselves in the footy field. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's like the immune systems low. And then we
Speaker 1: get on a plane with all these people and then
Speaker 1: they'll like someone sick on the plane, boom passed a
Speaker 1: one of us, and we just hand it out.
Speaker 3: I know it's beautiful, let me tell you that. Love.
Speaker 3: It can't wait being sick every fucking second week.
Speaker 4: But it sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is what it is, mate.
Speaker 3: Because then you're always like to me when you feel
Speaker 3: it coming on, you're like, go sleep in the spare room,
Speaker 3: But I can't. I come fall to sleep without you.
Speaker 4: Then then how do you sleep? But I'm away the dog,
Speaker 4: We'll sleep with him in the spirit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't like to do that when you're in
Speaker 3: the house. Why because I know you're judging I'm not.
Speaker 3: And then I have to clean the sheets the next day,
Speaker 3: and I don't do that when you're not around consciously
Speaker 3: easier to avoid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but but yeah, but doesn't make sense if you
Speaker 1: if you want to sleep in the sparroing with him,
Speaker 1: just sleep in.
Speaker 4: There with him.
Speaker 3: Oh you'd allow that, Yeah, if.
Speaker 1: You're sick, because then otherwise I give make you shit
Speaker 1: and then you try act tough and the next day
Speaker 1: you spraying me.
Speaker 3: I never act tough. I milk that shit to the bone.
Speaker 1: Baby.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that was well, that was fun. Did you
Speaker 3: like that? Did you have fun?
Speaker 4: Yeah? It was awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just want to mention as well. One thing,
Speaker 3: it's a really at the top of my head and
Speaker 3: I need to get off my chairs. We've been watching
Speaker 3: this Netflix show god listing Manhattan or Buying Manhattan or
Speaker 3: some show owning owning Manhattan. It's another real estate show.
Speaker 3: If I see one more fucking real estate show come
Speaker 3: up on Netflix, and I don't even know why I'm
Speaker 3: complaining because I watched them all. But there's like selling Sunset,
Speaker 3: buying Beverly Hills, this one selling houses Australia, selling Tampa.
Speaker 3: What the fuck is everyone's obsession with real estate shows.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's because everyone can relate right in
Speaker 1: what way?
Speaker 3: There's like like a million dollar homes. No one can
Speaker 3: relate to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, some people like to dream about that stuff
Speaker 1: as well and watch it again.
Speaker 4: Man, that's nice.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 3: But then what I hate is people watch that show
Speaker 3: and go, oh my god, I'm going to be real
Speaker 3: estate agent because it's that much. It's that easy to
Speaker 3: make commissions for someone who's a sister of a real
Speaker 3: estate agent. Again, my beautiful brother, Luke with the foul mouth.
Speaker 3: It's fucking hard, mate.
Speaker 1: It's a great point you make, but it's like that
Speaker 1: with everything, you know, you get the trolls on that
Speaker 1: are and then the trolls that want to play footy
Speaker 1: or the ones online that want to spray people online.
Speaker 4: Oh do this that.
Speaker 5: There's a reason why.
Speaker 1: You're sitting back and you're typing on your computer or
Speaker 1: on your phone because you're shit.
Speaker 4: You could never do it.
Speaker 3: Is this about real estate? Or did we just hit
Speaker 3: a nerve about people? So I just got triggered because
Speaker 3: I was talking about houses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's the same thing, all right, people that
Speaker 1: say I could sell that house, so I could carry
Speaker 1: a ball, catch that ball, could you?
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're back there again.
Speaker 4: Well guess you can't because you're not there. You haven't
Speaker 4: done it.
Speaker 1: Just shut your mouth, all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah I say that about radio exactly. I'm kidding. Anyone
Speaker 3: could literally get on Mica and talk shit. Anyone.
Speaker 4: No, really, you can.
Speaker 3: Look you're doing it right now. I'm doing it right
Speaker 3: I'm You're not. I'm not. This is shit, This is
Speaker 3: going nowhere. Who's gonna listen to These people are already depressed.
Speaker 3: It's gonna make them more depressed. Anyways, I think that's enough.
Speaker 3: Let's go out with a bang. Okay, bye, she I'll
Speaker 3: see you next week
