Speaker 1: Well, hello, fancy sing me here? Right? My name's Art Simone.
Speaker 2: And because you've clearly got such great taste in podcasts,
Speaker 2: I reckon you'd probably like my show. It's called Concealed
Speaker 2: with Arts, Simone. Want to know what it's all about?
Speaker 2: Why don't you take a listen? I'll see you at
Speaker 2: the other side.
Speaker 1: I'm back.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is me Art Simone, and I think it
Speaker 2: has been far too long since I've been in your
Speaker 2: e holes. So I have returned, and with me, I
Speaker 2: have brought along more fascinating and peculiar people. So together
Speaker 2: we can uncover the weird ways seemingly normal people make money,
Speaker 2: spend their spare time, or even the big secrets they kept.
Speaker 1: Hidden until now.
Speaker 2: This is Concealed with Me, Art Simone, let's get to it.
Speaker 1: Bring me out.
Speaker 3: Guess Hi. My name is Emma.
Speaker 4: I run a successful remedial massage business. I'm a sole practitioner.
Speaker 4: I also used to be an intensive care cutting your
Speaker 4: thoracic nurse for many years.
Speaker 3: I live in the Suburbs. I have two kids.
Speaker 4: I'm actually in a blended family, so I make that
Speaker 4: six kids. But Art actually knows me, but would not
Speaker 4: recognize me if she saw me.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, hello Emma, how are you going?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Ark the mystery, the mystery, I may know you. Yes,
Speaker 2: So remedial, massage, practition person, practitioner, sole person, all the above,
Speaker 2: all of that. Remedial that means like fixing things with massage, right,
Speaker 2: it does. Yeah, I'm a bit dumb, So I just
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: No, everybody asked, what is remedial? What's the difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're not doing, like you know, massage is
Speaker 2: in that dark little venue that I walked past with
Speaker 2: the red light out the front.
Speaker 1: You're doing things in which you can help people.
Speaker 3: That's right, and you can claim on your health.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's good. Actually, that's good. What's your favorite
Speaker 2: thing to massage?
Speaker 4: I would say probably shoulders.
Speaker 3: I'll give you a nice clean.
Speaker 1: Answer there, shoulders. Okay, just thriting that down. This could
Speaker 1: be a clue. This could be a clue, shoulders.
Speaker 2: And you used to be a nurse in at Rasko.
Speaker 3: With hearts and those.
Speaker 2: So you can nursing with heart's intensive care. What got
Speaker 2: you out of it? Too many hearts? Too much love?
Speaker 4: Well, the other thing that you'd know me for, I
Speaker 4: would dovetail the two of them. So I eventually got
Speaker 4: out of nursing because I'd been out of it for
Speaker 4: probably about five years, and I had to do a
Speaker 4: refresher course and it was going to cost me ten
Speaker 4: thousand dollars and I went, Now, hence why I am
Speaker 4: now a medial massage therapy?
Speaker 2: Yes, speaking of are you and your massage remedial massage uniform?
Speaker 2: At the moment, I wasn't sure when you walked in
Speaker 2: because you look like you've come straight from work?
Speaker 1: Is that correct?
Speaker 2: Or do you just wear this? You just go to Cole's?
Speaker 2: You like to put it on? Is it part of
Speaker 2: your advertising? You put it on to go walk around Coles?
Speaker 3: And I came straight from work.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it looks like a nursing top.
Speaker 3: It does. It's the hospital scrubs.
Speaker 2: Yes, but blue hospital scrubs. Your hair's tied back. You're
Speaker 2: all prim and proper and ready to help remedy some shoulders.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, what I'm going to do is ask you three questions,
Speaker 2: and from the answers to those three questions, I have
Speaker 2: to determine what it is you're concealing from me.
Speaker 3: May the odds be ever in your favor.
Speaker 2: Okay, with all the information put together, right, we've got
Speaker 2: remedial message, we've got shoulders, we've got six kids, blended family,
Speaker 2: nurse hearts, and apparently I may know you.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, I think you might even love me.
Speaker 1: I might love you. Oh my goodness, adore me.
Speaker 2: I might know you might love This is so it's
Speaker 2: so kooky. This is like what I met a meet
Speaker 2: and greet and I meet someone and they're like, we've
Speaker 2: met three times before. You don't remember me. I'm like, ma'am,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Okay, You're just another person at the moment. Okay,
Speaker 2: I meet a lot of people really lovely, but I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't remember you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Okay. Have I met you at a meet and greet before?
Speaker 3: No, not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get that out of that way. Okay,
Speaker 2: first question, do you have any pets?
Speaker 3: I do. I have two dogs and a cat.
Speaker 1: Okay, what are their names?
Speaker 3: Buddy Maker and Ziggy?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, my car was called Ziggy because their
Speaker 2: number plate was z HD. But she just went out
Speaker 2: to pasture.
Speaker 3: I had to upgrade.
Speaker 1: I know, little Blue Yaris is gone. No more.
Speaker 2: Question number two, Yes, what vegetable do you most align with?
Speaker 3: A vegetable would have to be a carrot.
Speaker 2: A carrot, and what do you like about a carrot?
Speaker 2: What functions?
Speaker 3: Crunchy?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, crunchy. That's so you're more of a raw
Speaker 1: carrot rather than a coo.
Speaker 3: Okay, well you can eat them cooked.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love a cooked carrot, baked carrot, and it
Speaker 4: is full of vitamin CI.
Speaker 2: Okay, stop selling me the carrots. It's fine, fine. And
Speaker 2: the third question is do you have an alter ego?
Speaker 2: If so, tell me about about them. What's their personality?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Cheeky gets away with anything, completely inclusive of everybody,
Speaker 4: loves everybody, and naughty as all get out and non
Speaker 4: stop talking.
Speaker 2: This is really hard this week. Okay, I'm going to
Speaker 2: talk it out all right. So radial massage used to
Speaker 2: be a nerve's work with the hearts. Likes to touch shoulders,
Speaker 2: six kids, two dogs, and a cat, ziggy car.
Speaker 1: That's my thing.
Speaker 2: Carrots, crunchy and cheeky gets away inclusive, naughty. Oh Emma,
Speaker 2: this is a hard one. And I may know you somehow,
Speaker 2: do Okay. All that's coming to mind is, so there's
Speaker 2: this man that walks around in Melbourne with a giant carrot.
Speaker 2: He's the carrot Man and he has a giant carrot
Speaker 2: and he just shows up all the time and walks
Speaker 2: into venues and has his carrot. No one knows why,
Speaker 2: except for the fact that he just says it makes
Speaker 2: people feel good. So maybe, just maybe because you're in Sydney,
Speaker 2: maybe you were the Sydney equivalent of carrot Purson. Is
Speaker 2: it a carrot man, your carrot woman? Maybe that's maybe
Speaker 2: that's who you are. Are you, Emma? Are you a
Speaker 2: carrot woman?
Speaker 3: I would love to be, but I'm not. No, I'm not.
