0:00:37.659 --> 0:00:41.139
<v Speaker 2>This is the pick up, Hi, guys, it's the pickup.

0:00:41.139 --> 0:00:43.259
<v Speaker 2>We've bred Hockey and Laura Bird. What are you laughing?

0:00:43.339 --> 0:00:43.459
<v Speaker 3>Though?

0:00:43.819 --> 0:00:44.619
<v Speaker 2>Nothing? Nothing?

0:00:44.779 --> 0:00:47.939
<v Speaker 1>Something I was thinking about though. I recently came across

0:00:47.939 --> 0:00:48.819
<v Speaker 1>this reel that when.

0:00:48.819 --> 0:00:50.539
<v Speaker 2>We want to stop starting.

0:00:50.179 --> 0:00:53.139
<v Speaker 3>A reel that went viral.

0:00:53.339 --> 0:00:55.139
<v Speaker 1>That's all I do is spend my time on Instagram

0:00:55.299 --> 0:00:58.819
<v Speaker 1>doom scrolling Mom and Mia, who are quite a big

0:00:58.859 --> 0:01:02.259
<v Speaker 1>podcast producer. They recently posted a little video and it

0:01:02.339 --> 0:01:04.699
<v Speaker 1>was about smelling ants. I have a question for you,

0:01:04.779 --> 0:01:09.259
<v Speaker 1>brit If it ant gets crushed near you, or like

0:01:09.298 --> 0:01:11.259
<v Speaker 1>you step on an ant, or like you kill an

0:01:11.259 --> 0:01:12.619
<v Speaker 1>ant by accident.

0:01:12.779 --> 0:01:14.779
<v Speaker 2>Can you smell it? Not?

0:01:15.219 --> 0:01:18.618
<v Speaker 1>Like can you smell any odor being emitted from the ant?

0:01:18.658 --> 0:01:20.619
<v Speaker 2>But I don't crush an ant near my face.

0:01:20.779 --> 0:01:23.019
<v Speaker 1>No, But it doesn't matter, like if you could.

0:01:22.979 --> 0:01:24.819
<v Speaker 3>If I walked on an ant and crushed it I

0:01:24.859 --> 0:01:26.459
<v Speaker 3>would smell it from upright.

0:01:26.539 --> 0:01:26.699
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:26.779 --> 0:01:28.619
<v Speaker 1>Or if you were sitting down at a picnic or

0:01:28.619 --> 0:01:31.099
<v Speaker 1>something and you crushed an ant by accident, and you

0:01:31.578 --> 0:01:33.819
<v Speaker 1>have you ever smelt like a weird smell coming from

0:01:33.859 --> 0:01:34.259
<v Speaker 1>an ant?

0:01:34.539 --> 0:01:36.818
<v Speaker 2>No, but this is all weird common No. Then the

0:01:36.859 --> 0:01:39.499
<v Speaker 2>thing is is you can't smell ants? Oh no, what

0:01:39.619 --> 0:01:40.339
<v Speaker 2>have I got to do?

0:01:40.738 --> 0:01:43.658
<v Speaker 1>So apparently this is like the most useless superpower that

0:01:43.699 --> 0:01:46.338
<v Speaker 1>there is. And there are some people in the world

0:01:46.339 --> 0:01:48.739
<v Speaker 1>who can smell ants, and there are some people who can't.

0:01:49.059 --> 0:01:51.499
<v Speaker 1>And I can smell ants, And I always thought ants

0:01:51.539 --> 0:01:54.859
<v Speaker 1>smell awful if they're being stepped on, and everyone can

0:01:54.899 --> 0:01:56.779
<v Speaker 1>smell them. But apparently it's only twenty percent of the

0:01:56.779 --> 0:01:58.099
<v Speaker 1>population can smell ant.

0:01:58.179 --> 0:02:00.618
<v Speaker 3>So if you're walking down the street, you're just walking,

0:02:00.659 --> 0:02:02.539
<v Speaker 3>there's a little ant trail you step on and keep walking.

0:02:02.659 --> 0:02:03.019
<v Speaker 2>You snow.

0:02:03.299 --> 0:02:05.379
<v Speaker 1>For example, like if I'm out in the backyard playing

0:02:05.379 --> 0:02:07.659
<v Speaker 1>with the girls, like on the courtyard area, and I'm

0:02:07.659 --> 0:02:09.619
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the ground and I put my hand down

0:02:09.819 --> 0:02:11.619
<v Speaker 1>and I've squished an ant on my hand.

0:02:11.499 --> 0:02:12.418
<v Speaker 2>And then you smell your hair.

0:02:12.859 --> 0:02:15.179
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, even if I brush it off, I'm not

0:02:15.259 --> 0:02:18.019
<v Speaker 1>sniffing hair. Sniff I can smell it, like if it's

0:02:18.019 --> 0:02:20.619
<v Speaker 1>crushed on me or near me. The smell is so

0:02:21.059 --> 0:02:23.219
<v Speaker 1>pungent and like peppery and weird.

0:02:23.418 --> 0:02:26.819
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so tuk me through this. Is there a point? No?

0:02:27.019 --> 0:02:28.619
<v Speaker 3>Okay, great, just wanted to check if there was a

0:02:28.619 --> 0:02:30.779
<v Speaker 3>purpose to that. I'm glad that you can smell ants,

0:02:30.819 --> 0:02:31.659
<v Speaker 3>lore am I.

0:02:31.659 --> 0:02:33.379
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for you. You don't want to talk about

0:02:33.379 --> 0:02:35.779
<v Speaker 2>ant sniffing. No, I'm good. You're just jealous because I'm

0:02:35.779 --> 0:02:38.419
<v Speaker 2>more superior. I have so much fomo.

0:02:39.978 --> 0:02:42.578
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm sure you guys just heard that we are

0:02:42.579 --> 0:02:44.739
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be talking about married at first signe and

0:02:44.739 --> 0:02:46.819
<v Speaker 1>how all the contestants just got their phones back.

0:02:46.899 --> 0:02:50.099
<v Speaker 3>But more pressing news has just made itself known and

0:02:50.138 --> 0:02:51.219
<v Speaker 3>we do need to break it down.

0:02:51.299 --> 0:02:54.898
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, so we were talking about sniffing ants before

0:02:55.019 --> 0:02:57.139
<v Speaker 1>hear me out. Things are not Things are not as

0:02:57.219 --> 0:02:58.499
<v Speaker 1>rogue as what you might think they are.

0:03:00.379 --> 0:03:02.219
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to be known for that. Laura was

0:03:02.258 --> 0:03:04.619
<v Speaker 3>talking about sniffing ants. Brittany most certainly was not.

0:03:04.899 --> 0:03:08.819
<v Speaker 1>So there is a thing going around currently online which

0:03:08.859 --> 0:03:11.419
<v Speaker 1>is the fact that some people can smell ants and

0:03:11.499 --> 0:03:13.579
<v Speaker 1>like the acid that they emit if they've been stepped

0:03:13.579 --> 0:03:16.819
<v Speaker 1>on or crushed other people can't. Apparently only twenty percent

0:03:16.859 --> 0:03:18.419
<v Speaker 1>of the population can smell ants.

0:03:19.138 --> 0:03:21.459
<v Speaker 2>So then that happened. We talked about that already.

0:03:21.538 --> 0:03:23.459
<v Speaker 1>We left that go because we were gonna then talk

0:03:23.499 --> 0:03:26.978
<v Speaker 1>about Siena and whoever else a, Feena and everyone else

0:03:26.978 --> 0:03:28.858
<v Speaker 1>who married at first sights, who got their phones back

0:03:28.859 --> 0:03:31.099
<v Speaker 1>and have been texting and showing all of there been

0:03:31.659 --> 0:03:33.059
<v Speaker 1>unveiling stuff on Instagram.

0:03:33.138 --> 0:03:34.939
<v Speaker 2>No one cares. You can get that information anywhere.

0:03:35.139 --> 0:03:37.819
<v Speaker 1>What you can't get from anywhere is what we talked

0:03:37.819 --> 0:03:40.179
<v Speaker 1>about in the break just then, and that is that

0:03:40.259 --> 0:03:41.779
<v Speaker 1>Brittany can't smell the rain.

0:03:42.059 --> 0:03:44.499
<v Speaker 2>That's not no. The more important part of this is

0:03:44.539 --> 0:03:45.699
<v Speaker 2>I said I can't smell rain.

0:03:45.779 --> 0:03:48.339
<v Speaker 3>I got a beuse hurled at me by everyone in

0:03:48.339 --> 0:03:51.379
<v Speaker 3>this room saying, yes I can. Every single human can

0:03:51.419 --> 0:03:54.259
<v Speaker 3>smell rain, and I said, no, they can't produce a grace.

0:03:54.299 --> 0:03:55.979
<v Speaker 3>You did some googling there, What did you come up

0:03:55.979 --> 0:03:56.979
<v Speaker 3>with about rain smelling?

0:03:57.179 --> 0:04:00.179
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Not, everyone can smell the rain. I am thank

0:04:00.259 --> 0:04:03.019
<v Speaker 2>you sent into orbit. I am on another planet. Now

0:04:03.099 --> 0:04:05.579
<v Speaker 2>you can also call me Katy Perry.

0:04:05.059 --> 0:04:08.419
<v Speaker 1>So the smell of rain is the word for it

0:04:08.779 --> 0:04:13.059
<v Speaker 1>is called petrocor I thought it was literally a basic

0:04:13.259 --> 0:04:15.619
<v Speaker 1>human joy. I thought every single person it was like

0:04:15.619 --> 0:04:19.299
<v Speaker 1>watching a sunset sniff in the rain. Answer, it's not

0:04:19.339 --> 0:04:21.059
<v Speaker 1>a pleasant smell. So I don't think you should be

0:04:21.139 --> 0:04:23.859
<v Speaker 1>jealous about that one. If you can't smell the rain,

0:04:24.219 --> 0:04:25.779
<v Speaker 1>that to me is absolutely shocking.

0:04:26.219 --> 0:04:28.659
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing okay, though, I don't know.

0:04:29.299 --> 0:04:31.339
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna no, we're gonna end this conversation. You're gonna

0:04:31.339 --> 0:04:32.899
<v Speaker 1>need to book yourself in the therapy. The fact that

0:04:32.899 --> 0:04:35.499
<v Speaker 1>you've missed out on this your whole life is insane

0:04:35.499 --> 0:04:35.699
<v Speaker 1>to me.

0:04:36.219 --> 0:04:37.699
<v Speaker 2>We are of equal success here.

0:04:37.819 --> 0:04:40.059
<v Speaker 3>And I've also grown up not smelling rain, like it

0:04:40.099 --> 0:04:41.939
<v Speaker 3>hasn't altered my life's journey.

0:04:42.099 --> 0:04:44.619
<v Speaker 2>But you haven't felt true joy passion. I don't know

0:04:44.619 --> 0:04:46.059
<v Speaker 2>what happened. I don't know if this happened off the

0:04:46.099 --> 0:04:46.859
<v Speaker 2>back of COVID.

0:04:47.619 --> 0:04:51.059
<v Speaker 3>I have been able to start smelling it loosely the

0:04:51.139 --> 0:04:53.819
<v Speaker 3>last couple of years, so like, I get something and

0:04:53.859 --> 0:04:55.819
<v Speaker 3>it's still a new thing, and I'm like, is that

0:04:55.899 --> 0:04:56.299
<v Speaker 3>the rain?

0:04:57.019 --> 0:04:58.179
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'm smelling it?

0:04:58.219 --> 0:05:00.779
<v Speaker 1>So you've gained powers post COVID, because most people lost

0:05:00.819 --> 0:05:04.339
<v Speaker 1>their powers post COVID. It's like this really earthy, rich

0:05:04.979 --> 0:05:08.019
<v Speaker 1>muddy smell, but it's it's nice. I know I'm not

0:05:08.059 --> 0:05:10.699
<v Speaker 1>describing it well, but it smells beautiful.

0:05:10.779 --> 0:05:12.539
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to know something else? Crazy? Oh god,

0:05:12.939 --> 0:05:14.499
<v Speaker 2>do you know that there are some people.

0:05:14.219 --> 0:05:15.739
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what it's call produced grace get on

0:05:15.739 --> 0:05:17.059
<v Speaker 3>the Google people that.

0:05:17.059 --> 0:05:21.819
<v Speaker 2>Like hear color like every like that cough, that cough.

0:05:21.939 --> 0:05:25.859
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting green gunk. I'm getting green gunk. Maybe I

0:05:25.939 --> 0:05:29.619
<v Speaker 2>have whatever it is. Maybe I'm getting chest infection, getting flu.

0:05:30.819 --> 0:05:34.379
<v Speaker 2>It's called synesthesia. Oh synesthesia, Okay, I did think it

0:05:34.419 --> 0:05:35.379
<v Speaker 2>was that, but I think.

0:05:37.619 --> 0:05:40.779
<v Speaker 3>I think for example, like so people can hear a color,

0:05:40.819 --> 0:05:41.819
<v Speaker 3>like someone's voice can.

0:05:41.739 --> 0:05:42.219
<v Speaker 2>Have a color.

0:05:42.339 --> 0:05:45.179
<v Speaker 3>I think mine would be like floral pink. Like you

0:05:45.299 --> 0:05:47.659
<v Speaker 3>ask what I'm saying, like it's like it's in your face?

0:05:48.339 --> 0:05:48.979
<v Speaker 2>What do you reply?

0:05:49.299 --> 0:05:51.219
<v Speaker 1>I have seen this before, And there's a little boy

0:05:51.379 --> 0:05:54.219
<v Speaker 1>online who does this and like every so like every

0:05:54.259 --> 0:05:56.579
<v Speaker 1>key on a piano has a different color attached to it.

0:05:56.659 --> 0:05:59.139
<v Speaker 1>And that was how they found out that he sees

0:05:59.179 --> 0:05:59.819
<v Speaker 1>the same colors.

0:05:59.859 --> 0:06:02.379
<v Speaker 2>And in the comment section, what was really interesting is.

0:06:02.299 --> 0:06:04.059
<v Speaker 1>That there were heaps of other people who had this

0:06:04.219 --> 0:06:06.019
<v Speaker 1>same I don't know what you'd call it, it's not

0:06:06.099 --> 0:06:08.099
<v Speaker 1>condition not a disorder, but just way of I guess

0:06:08.099 --> 0:06:10.619
<v Speaker 1>perceived in the world. So he would be like, oh, there,

0:06:10.859 --> 0:06:13.739
<v Speaker 1>you know, E on a piano is green to me

0:06:13.859 --> 0:06:16.139
<v Speaker 1>and B is blue. And people in the comments were

0:06:16.259 --> 0:06:17.979
<v Speaker 1>who also had whatever the word is. I'm not going

0:06:18.019 --> 0:06:21.059
<v Speaker 1>to pretend like a thank you, Yeah, exactly that one, Britt.

0:06:21.379 --> 0:06:24.219
<v Speaker 1>They also were seeing the identical color that he was

0:06:24.259 --> 0:06:25.699
<v Speaker 1>seeing for their own hearing.

0:06:25.819 --> 0:06:27.139
<v Speaker 2>So it's fascinating.

0:06:27.299 --> 0:06:28.859
<v Speaker 3>I'm I don't know how I feel about it, but

0:06:28.899 --> 0:06:30.499
<v Speaker 3>producer Grace is telling us that's enough of.

0:06:31.139 --> 0:06:33.779
<v Speaker 1>Everybody who can't smell rain or smell ants.

0:06:33.779 --> 0:06:37.659
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry, you know whatever, Laura.

0:06:37.699 --> 0:06:39.659
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you have ever had like a

0:06:39.699 --> 0:06:43.299
<v Speaker 3>horror housemate story, but there is an article online that

0:06:43.459 --> 0:06:47.139
<v Speaker 3>is absolutely sending me. There's a twenty four year old

0:06:47.139 --> 0:06:49.899
<v Speaker 3>guy that says that his roommate, the roommate from hell,

0:06:50.379 --> 0:06:52.659
<v Speaker 3>went into the fridge and stole.

0:06:52.379 --> 0:06:57.579
<v Speaker 2>His cake, like a whole cake, a piece.

0:06:57.619 --> 0:06:57.739
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

0:06:57.739 --> 0:06:58.499
<v Speaker 2>I want to eat this cake.

0:06:58.579 --> 0:07:00.379
<v Speaker 3>It's not wine. I'm going to eat it anyway. I'm

0:07:00.379 --> 0:07:01.859
<v Speaker 3>going to ignore everything else and eat it.

0:07:01.899 --> 0:07:03.579
<v Speaker 2>Why was the cake in his room? It was in

0:07:03.579 --> 0:07:04.099
<v Speaker 2>the fridge.

0:07:04.139 --> 0:07:06.859
<v Speaker 3>Oh sorry, it was a room mate the cake wasn't

0:07:06.939 --> 0:07:08.339
<v Speaker 3>under the bed like he said.

0:07:08.339 --> 0:07:10.419
<v Speaker 1>He went into his room and took his cake, and

0:07:10.459 --> 0:07:12.019
<v Speaker 1>I was like, weird place to keep your cake.

0:07:12.099 --> 0:07:15.299
<v Speaker 3>Path Okay, well just stay with me. So his roommate's

0:07:15.299 --> 0:07:18.539
<v Speaker 3>gone and stolen the cake. Turns out is allergic to

0:07:18.619 --> 0:07:21.859
<v Speaker 3>something in the cake. He had like a full blown reaction,

0:07:22.059 --> 0:07:24.019
<v Speaker 3>had to go to the hospital in an ambulance, had

0:07:24.059 --> 0:07:27.259
<v Speaker 3>to get an EpiPen like this was a really serious condition.

0:07:28.179 --> 0:07:30.299
<v Speaker 3>Off the back of that, he got a bill for

0:07:30.379 --> 0:07:33.539
<v Speaker 3>all the medical fees. He then thinks it's not fair

0:07:33.579 --> 0:07:35.859
<v Speaker 3>that he has to pay it because it wasn't his cake.

0:07:36.499 --> 0:07:38.859
<v Speaker 3>So he has passed the bill onto his flatmate, who's

0:07:38.899 --> 0:07:39.859
<v Speaker 3>he stole his cake?

0:07:40.179 --> 0:07:41.659
<v Speaker 2>Are you following me? If I made that stit, you

0:07:41.699 --> 0:07:44.419
<v Speaker 2>made it really convoluted. But I understand saying.

0:07:44.779 --> 0:07:47.779
<v Speaker 3>Knowling's roomate's cake. He had an allergic reaction, went to hospital,

0:07:47.779 --> 0:07:49.299
<v Speaker 3>a huge medical bill. Then he was like, do you

0:07:49.299 --> 0:07:52.179
<v Speaker 3>know what stuff you? You poisoned me with your cake?

0:07:52.379 --> 0:07:56.059
<v Speaker 3>You pay it, And the flatmate's like, bro, you stole

0:07:56.179 --> 0:07:56.699
<v Speaker 3>my cake.

0:07:56.779 --> 0:07:57.979
<v Speaker 2>You poisoned yourself.

0:07:58.059 --> 0:07:59.779
<v Speaker 1>What I love about that story is he told it

0:07:59.819 --> 0:08:02.899
<v Speaker 1>the exact same way, just not animated. The second time

0:08:03.419 --> 0:08:06.179
<v Speaker 1>stole just a faster If you're going to take your

0:08:06.179 --> 0:08:08.779
<v Speaker 1>housemates feet firstly, if you if you're allergic, I would

0:08:08.779 --> 0:08:10.579
<v Speaker 1>say by the age of twenty four, you're probably aware

0:08:10.619 --> 0:08:13.139
<v Speaker 1>of the things that you're an aflacti to normally not everyone,

0:08:13.459 --> 0:08:15.779
<v Speaker 1>but like you would normally have a bit of a

0:08:15.819 --> 0:08:17.939
<v Speaker 1>gauge of what it is that you're allergic to. If

0:08:17.979 --> 0:08:20.899
<v Speaker 1>you're going to go into the fridge, take something that's

0:08:20.979 --> 0:08:24.099
<v Speaker 1>very clearly not yours of your housemates. If you end

0:08:24.179 --> 0:08:25.899
<v Speaker 1>up in hospital, that's a new power. You're paying for

0:08:25.979 --> 0:08:27.779
<v Speaker 1>those bills. It's like you also should have to pay

0:08:27.779 --> 0:08:29.339
<v Speaker 1>for those bills and the caqu eight.

0:08:29.499 --> 0:08:29.979
<v Speaker 2>But it's like.

0:08:29.979 --> 0:08:32.699
<v Speaker 3>Stealing a car and then crashing it and then saying

0:08:32.739 --> 0:08:35.379
<v Speaker 3>that they need to pay your hospital bills, like when

0:08:35.379 --> 0:08:35.859
<v Speaker 3>you stole it.

0:08:35.859 --> 0:08:37.619
<v Speaker 2>It's the same thing. It's wild to me that he

0:08:37.659 --> 0:08:39.259
<v Speaker 2>even thought he could pass his bill on.

0:08:39.539 --> 0:08:41.179
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what my old housemate used to do

0:08:41.339 --> 0:08:42.659
<v Speaker 1>This was we were in our twenties and like no

0:08:42.739 --> 0:08:44.539
<v Speaker 1>one had any money because we're all UNI students and

0:08:44.539 --> 0:08:46.579
<v Speaker 1>we were just doing our best. But I used to

0:08:46.579 --> 0:08:48.659
<v Speaker 1>really like connoisseur ice cream. It was like my one

0:08:48.699 --> 0:08:50.819
<v Speaker 1>treat I would always buy the same one Macadamian.

0:08:50.859 --> 0:08:52.659
<v Speaker 2>I had it in the freezer, and.

0:08:52.859 --> 0:08:55.859
<v Speaker 1>This dude I live with would eat the entire tub

0:08:55.939 --> 0:08:57.019
<v Speaker 1>in like three days would be gone.

0:08:56.979 --> 0:08:58.579
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have even had a scoop and he would

0:08:58.619 --> 0:09:00.458
<v Speaker 2>have eaten the whole thing, so rude.

0:09:00.499 --> 0:09:02.578
<v Speaker 1>So then he would replace it, but he would always

0:09:02.619 --> 0:09:05.499
<v Speaker 1>replace it with just like the no name, no frills, whatever.

0:09:05.539 --> 0:09:07.259
<v Speaker 1>It was that the cheapest version of ice cream that

0:09:07.299 --> 0:09:08.619
<v Speaker 1>he could get. And he used to make me so

0:09:08.699 --> 0:09:10.699
<v Speaker 1>I write, I rate so I was like, you can't

0:09:10.779 --> 0:09:13.099
<v Speaker 1>substitute something for something less.

0:09:12.979 --> 0:09:14.259
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And then he.

0:09:14.219 --> 0:09:15.979
<v Speaker 1>Would not eat that because he didn't like it. And

0:09:15.979 --> 0:09:18.059
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, no one does. We've got Georgia

0:09:18.139 --> 0:09:21.379
<v Speaker 1>on that bad. I didn't end up in hospital, Georgia.

0:09:21.419 --> 0:09:23.179
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a horror house meat story?

0:09:23.899 --> 0:09:27.139
<v Speaker 4>I do. So I had a housemate who had a

0:09:27.139 --> 0:09:29.539
<v Speaker 4>bit of a habit of borrowing and not replacing, you know,

0:09:29.659 --> 0:09:33.059
<v Speaker 4>the standard, and so we sort of sat on it

0:09:33.059 --> 0:09:35.699
<v Speaker 4>for a while. We didn't say much until one day

0:09:35.739 --> 0:09:41.779
<v Speaker 4>we found saucy fingerprints in the butter. Oh Le is.

0:09:41.739 --> 0:09:44.218
<v Speaker 1>Making himself a sausage sandwich and he's spreading it with

0:09:44.259 --> 0:09:44.859
<v Speaker 1>his fingers.

0:09:45.099 --> 0:09:48.139
<v Speaker 2>No, maybe I don't. Yeah, straight from the my kids

0:09:48.179 --> 0:09:50.578
<v Speaker 2>do that, but therefore it's actually revolting.

0:09:50.619 --> 0:09:52.899
<v Speaker 3>No one should eat butter on its own, whether it's

0:09:52.899 --> 0:09:54.539
<v Speaker 3>a fer my kids do.

0:09:54.699 --> 0:09:57.339
<v Speaker 2>They eat it straight straight from the straight from the sauce.

0:09:58.019 --> 0:10:00.659
<v Speaker 4>But then the real kicker is that we asked him

0:10:00.699 --> 0:10:03.458
<v Speaker 4>about it and just you know, can you not do that?

0:10:03.619 --> 0:10:09.819
<v Speaker 4>And he burst into tears. How old was this guy,

0:10:10.979 --> 0:10:13.019
<v Speaker 4>like fully grown? I think at the time he was

0:10:13.059 --> 0:10:17.659
<v Speaker 4>like twenty eight that about I don't know, but I

0:10:17.779 --> 0:10:20.059
<v Speaker 4>felt terrible about it, because you know, maybe the guy

0:10:20.099 --> 0:10:22.099
<v Speaker 4>has stuff going on. I don't know. So I felt

0:10:22.219 --> 0:10:24.899
<v Speaker 4>terrible and I brought him some chocolate to apologize.

0:10:24.979 --> 0:10:25.579
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:10:25.779 --> 0:10:26.179
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:10:25.939 --> 0:10:25.979
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:10:27.659 --> 0:10:29.979
<v Speaker 1>I also think that this just screams as someone who's

0:10:30.059 --> 0:10:33.699
<v Speaker 1>highly sensitive to criticism, like, there's no way that anyone

0:10:33.739 --> 0:10:36.859
<v Speaker 1>who's you know, sound mine is crying over that. They'd

0:10:36.859 --> 0:10:38.859
<v Speaker 1>be like, yeah, you got me, shouldn't do that, that's bad.

0:10:39.619 --> 0:10:42.059
<v Speaker 1>What ended up happening? Did you how long just stay

0:10:42.099 --> 0:10:43.579
<v Speaker 1>with this guy? Live with him?

0:10:44.019 --> 0:10:44.179
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:10:44.299 --> 0:10:48.019
<v Speaker 4>So he was my partner's bruemte that I ended up

0:10:48.019 --> 0:10:50.939
<v Speaker 4>just sort of being around. But yes, I bought him

0:10:50.979 --> 0:10:53.699
<v Speaker 4>chocolate and then he said sorry. But then did it again,

0:10:54.939 --> 0:10:55.699
<v Speaker 4>he's a repead fan.

0:10:57.179 --> 0:11:00.899
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what my most hated thing in the world,

0:11:01.379 --> 0:11:04.259
<v Speaker 3>Like there is sorry, nothing food, My most hated food

0:11:04.579 --> 0:11:06.859
<v Speaker 3>is butter. Like the thought of butter in my mouth

0:11:06.979 --> 0:11:09.579
<v Speaker 3>or on my fingertips is the prevalent of people when

0:11:09.579 --> 0:11:11.779
<v Speaker 3>they have nails on a chalkboard.

0:11:11.819 --> 0:11:14.339
<v Speaker 2>You know that visceral feel Like I love the cake.

0:11:14.579 --> 0:11:16.699
<v Speaker 1>Thing you've taken home from that you're so upset by

0:11:16.739 --> 0:11:17.739
<v Speaker 1>the butter story that.

0:11:18.059 --> 0:11:23.459
<v Speaker 3>Trees bumps because I'm thinking about butter touching me my thing.

0:11:25.219 --> 0:11:28.259
<v Speaker 1>We are talking about horror housemates stories.

0:11:28.259 --> 0:11:28.419
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:11:28.619 --> 0:11:31.019
<v Speaker 1>The reason that this started is because there's a guy

0:11:31.059 --> 0:11:34.139
<v Speaker 1>overseas who eighties housemates cake ended up in hospital with

0:11:34.179 --> 0:11:38.099
<v Speaker 1>anaphylaxis and then tried to give the housemate whose cakey

0:11:38.139 --> 0:11:40.579
<v Speaker 1>stole the hospital bills and make him pay.

0:11:40.699 --> 0:11:42.419
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely wild. I wonder what cake it was?

0:11:42.459 --> 0:11:45.619
<v Speaker 1>Irrelevant, but like that curiosity nutcake, I had to be

0:11:45.779 --> 0:11:49.779
<v Speaker 1>nuts pea campire, maybe Maceadamian nutcake yep makes nuts slice.

0:11:49.979 --> 0:11:50.979
<v Speaker 2>Also, though, if you know your.

0:11:50.859 --> 0:11:52.939
<v Speaker 1>Housemates allergic to nuts, you probably shouldn't have it in

0:11:52.979 --> 0:11:53.739
<v Speaker 1>the communal fridge.

0:11:53.939 --> 0:11:55.979
<v Speaker 2>We didn't. Okay, I'm giving my back too much leeway.

0:11:56.019 --> 0:11:59.619
<v Speaker 1>Now the reason why this is just continuing to ongo

0:11:59.699 --> 0:12:01.499
<v Speaker 1>is because I've lived in a lot of sharehouses. I've

0:12:01.539 --> 0:12:05.099
<v Speaker 1>had so many different housemates over the years, and I

0:12:05.179 --> 0:12:07.539
<v Speaker 1>feel like I've had a couple of horror housemates as well.

0:12:08.099 --> 0:12:10.219
<v Speaker 1>I lived with this one guy. He was in a

0:12:10.219 --> 0:12:13.179
<v Speaker 1>long distance relationship. You know, he barely got to speak

0:12:13.219 --> 0:12:15.619
<v Speaker 1>to his partner because the timing difference was like very

0:12:15.659 --> 0:12:17.739
<v Speaker 1>other side of the world, and he was a little

0:12:17.739 --> 0:12:18.899
<v Speaker 1>bit of a hermit, so he lacked to say in

0:12:18.979 --> 0:12:19.899
<v Speaker 1>his own room a lot.

0:12:20.139 --> 0:12:21.859
<v Speaker 2>He also had the rule that no one in.

0:12:21.859 --> 0:12:23.699
<v Speaker 1>The house was allowed to go into his bedroom ever,

0:12:24.059 --> 0:12:27.179
<v Speaker 1>didn't matter what had happened, do not enter my room. Yeah, fine,

0:12:27.219 --> 0:12:28.819
<v Speaker 1>it was like a teenage boys room, but he wasn't

0:12:28.819 --> 0:12:31.299
<v Speaker 1>a teenage boy anyway. This one day, we couldn't find

0:12:31.339 --> 0:12:33.499
<v Speaker 1>the remote control, and we just knew he'd taken it

0:12:33.499 --> 0:12:35.259
<v Speaker 1>into his room because he had the same TV in

0:12:35.299 --> 0:12:37.059
<v Speaker 1>his room that we had in the lound room, so

0:12:37.139 --> 0:12:41.179
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't home open the door. It is putrid, like

0:12:41.219 --> 0:12:44.259
<v Speaker 1>there is stuff everywhere. But not only is there stuff everywhere,

0:12:44.379 --> 0:12:47.179
<v Speaker 1>there is a lotion, like a body lotion, right next

0:12:47.179 --> 0:12:50.779
<v Speaker 1>to the bed, and scrunched up bits of tissue all

0:12:50.939 --> 0:12:54.859
<v Speaker 1>around his sad little single bed all over the floor.

0:12:54.899 --> 0:12:56.779
<v Speaker 2>But don't you shame this poor guy.

0:12:56.939 --> 0:12:59.699
<v Speaker 1>The single bed has nothing to do with No, it's

0:12:59.739 --> 0:13:02.619
<v Speaker 1>because it was the whole thing. It was the whole spectrum.

0:13:03.099 --> 0:13:06.379
<v Speaker 1>It was overpoweringly disgusting that a couple of weeks later

0:13:06.419 --> 0:13:07.259
<v Speaker 1>he ended up moving out.

0:13:07.699 --> 0:13:11.259
<v Speaker 2>Those two things weren't correlative, but it was. You can't

0:13:11.259 --> 0:13:12.979
<v Speaker 2>ask you not to go into his room.

0:13:13.179 --> 0:13:16.539
<v Speaker 1>You cannot leave bodily fluids on the floor of anywhere.

0:13:16.539 --> 0:13:18.699
<v Speaker 1>It's still a communal household, even if it's your room.

0:13:18.819 --> 0:13:21.419
<v Speaker 2>Did you test them? I didn't step him. No, Okay,

0:13:21.499 --> 0:13:24.219
<v Speaker 2>do you know what? You actually can't talk? I know

0:13:24.299 --> 0:13:26.939
<v Speaker 2>I can talk, we can, but we're not listening. No,

0:13:27.059 --> 0:13:27.459
<v Speaker 2>you can.

0:13:28.019 --> 0:13:30.899
<v Speaker 3>I happen to know your old housemates, and I happen

0:13:30.979 --> 0:13:33.259
<v Speaker 3>to have Jess on the line because I also happened

0:13:33.299 --> 0:13:34.779
<v Speaker 3>to know you weren't perfect.

0:13:34.459 --> 0:13:37.219
<v Speaker 1>Jess, don't you dare I'm very very good friends. My

0:13:37.299 --> 0:13:40.419
<v Speaker 1>old housemate Jess in particular, who's also married to nurs

0:13:40.699 --> 0:13:41.899
<v Speaker 1>are two of my best friends.

0:13:41.939 --> 0:13:43.739
<v Speaker 2>You would never throw me under the bar. Please, can

0:13:43.779 --> 0:13:44.499
<v Speaker 2>you have silence?

0:13:44.619 --> 0:13:44.939
<v Speaker 5>Laura?

0:13:45.459 --> 0:13:49.019
<v Speaker 2>Hi, Hi, Hi, tell us what you had to deal with?

0:13:49.659 --> 0:13:52.459
<v Speaker 5>Anyone that knows the love Laura knows that she fries

0:13:52.539 --> 0:13:56.699
<v Speaker 5>and a bit of chaos. And we used to always

0:13:56.779 --> 0:14:00.099
<v Speaker 5>joke about this because Laura, you would either never ever

0:14:00.219 --> 0:14:03.219
<v Speaker 5>change the toilet roll or you would change it to

0:14:03.499 --> 0:14:07.179
<v Speaker 5>such an deranged degree with nothing in between. So I'm

0:14:07.179 --> 0:14:10.219
<v Speaker 5>talking like, never ever ever change, or we'd have five

0:14:10.259 --> 0:14:13.619
<v Speaker 5>toilet rolls half used on the go at any given time,

0:14:13.699 --> 0:14:16.619
<v Speaker 5>to the point where we joked, say, your favorite part

0:14:16.659 --> 0:14:18.539
<v Speaker 5>of the toilet roll was the gloey bit that you

0:14:18.659 --> 0:14:21.619
<v Speaker 5>just like unsticking your fresh roll of toilet paper. It

0:14:21.619 --> 0:14:24.459
<v Speaker 5>got to the point where Ness went around and gooped

0:14:24.539 --> 0:14:26.219
<v Speaker 5>up all of the toilet rolls. I think she put

0:14:26.259 --> 0:14:27.659
<v Speaker 5>them in your bed.

0:14:28.299 --> 0:14:29.419
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you put them in your bed.

0:14:29.459 --> 0:14:30.899
<v Speaker 5>It was absolutely unhinged.

0:14:31.019 --> 0:14:32.419
<v Speaker 2>That's so passive aggressive.

0:14:32.779 --> 0:14:35.379
<v Speaker 5>This is even as it was just outright aggressive. It

0:14:35.459 --> 0:14:36.619
<v Speaker 5>was just pure aggression.

0:14:36.739 --> 0:14:37.419
<v Speaker 2>This is the thing.

0:14:37.459 --> 0:14:40.139
<v Speaker 1>So Jess and Ness are a couple, and like you, guys,

0:14:40.139 --> 0:14:42.579
<v Speaker 1>both communicated very differently. You would just tell me when

0:14:42.579 --> 0:14:45.379
<v Speaker 1>something's wrong, but Ness would not say anything, just kind

0:14:45.419 --> 0:14:46.939
<v Speaker 1>of be quiet through the day and then send me

0:14:46.979 --> 0:14:48.859
<v Speaker 1>a passive aggressive dex when she got to it.

0:14:51.299 --> 0:14:54.619
<v Speaker 5>But to be fair to you, in true Laura fashion.

0:14:54.819 --> 0:14:57.659
<v Speaker 5>About once a week you would cook the whole house

0:14:57.859 --> 0:15:00.739
<v Speaker 5>the most delicious surf right, and everything would be forgiven

0:15:00.819 --> 0:15:03.499
<v Speaker 5>and we would just start the cycle again a fresh week.

0:15:03.099 --> 0:15:05.339
<v Speaker 3>Every do you know what, I go to Laura's house

0:15:05.379 --> 0:15:06.939
<v Speaker 3>now and I have to take more in toilet paper.

0:15:07.019 --> 0:15:10.139
<v Speaker 3>There is never it's always empty rolls in any bathroom

0:15:10.139 --> 0:15:10.619
<v Speaker 3>in your house.

0:15:10.699 --> 0:15:11.659
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is.

0:15:11.739 --> 0:15:13.619
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like Matt's one. I mean, he has a

0:15:13.619 --> 0:15:14.939
<v Speaker 1>lot of bug bears with me. But one of the

0:15:14.939 --> 0:15:16.579
<v Speaker 1>things he hates about me is that when I change

0:15:16.579 --> 0:15:19.019
<v Speaker 1>a role, I don't take the cardboard bit downstairs. I

0:15:19.059 --> 0:15:20.779
<v Speaker 1>just put the cardboard bit on top of the toilet

0:15:20.859 --> 0:15:23.979
<v Speaker 1>roll for that to be someone else's problem. You sorry, Jazz,

0:15:24.219 --> 0:15:25.939
<v Speaker 1>You know what. You guys are so well putting out

0:15:25.979 --> 0:15:28.139
<v Speaker 1>with me. I loved living with your my favorite housemates

0:15:28.139 --> 0:15:30.219
<v Speaker 1>of all my housemates, trying to think of you, what other.

0:15:30.139 --> 0:15:30.739
<v Speaker 2>Ones were you?

0:15:30.899 --> 0:15:32.819
<v Speaker 5>My favorite part of visiting you now is that every

0:15:32.819 --> 0:15:34.459
<v Speaker 5>time I go to your house, you say sorry for

0:15:34.499 --> 0:15:35.539
<v Speaker 5>the mess like that, isn't it?

0:15:36.379 --> 0:15:36.619
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:15:36.779 --> 0:15:40.059
<v Speaker 1>Totally all right, shut up, get on the phone.

0:15:41.419 --> 0:15:43.699
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, bye, Jazz. Do you know love you?

0:15:43.739 --> 0:15:44.259
<v Speaker 4>Bye?

0:15:44.379 --> 0:15:45.979
<v Speaker 3>I always had a really good housemaids. I was just

0:15:45.979 --> 0:15:47.699
<v Speaker 3>trying to think. But then I remember this one thing.

0:15:47.739 --> 0:15:49.939
<v Speaker 3>I lived with this guy who was this is unheard

0:15:49.979 --> 0:15:53.659
<v Speaker 3>of clean freak like to the point that he sat

0:15:53.739 --> 0:15:55.139
<v Speaker 3>me down one day and asked me to leave. He

0:15:55.139 --> 0:15:58.059
<v Speaker 3>told me I needed to move out because I left

0:15:58.059 --> 0:16:00.819
<v Speaker 3>an avocado seed once on the sink.

0:16:01.059 --> 0:16:03.899
<v Speaker 1>I've seen your bathroom though, too, Britt, you're chaotic as well.

0:16:04.059 --> 0:16:06.739
<v Speaker 3>That's not messy, though, that's just I have too many products.

0:16:06.779 --> 0:16:09.299
<v Speaker 3>I have like twenty five thousand products.

0:16:09.339 --> 0:16:09.939
<v Speaker 2>But this was no.

0:16:10.059 --> 0:16:12.459
<v Speaker 3>I was immaculate in this house. One avocado scene, and

0:16:12.459 --> 0:16:13.579
<v Speaker 3>he said, I think it's time for you to leave.

0:16:13.579 --> 0:16:16.099
<v Speaker 3>And you know what, I said, No, yes, I think

0:16:16.099 --> 0:16:17.179
<v Speaker 3>it's time for you to get therapy.

0:16:17.899 --> 0:16:20.259
<v Speaker 2>I didn't leave. Yep, that's it. Anyway, let's get out

0:16:20.259 --> 0:16:20.419
<v Speaker 2>of here.
