  Speaker 1: It is the good, it is the bad, emphasize the bad,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and it's also the relatable. It is the relatable. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: if you've come for advice, this is not the podcast
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: for you. And Maddy Jay usually says that line, but
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: today I thought I would say it. Change it up
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit. People know what's going on here. And
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: before we do get started, we always love to crack
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a nice drop, and today's drop is the NRB, which
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is the Northern Rivers Beer. So quick one here we go.
• 1:28

  Speaker 2: I'm going to put you on the spot here.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: What's it called?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: When you abbreviate words to just the first letter, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm asking.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The wrong guy. You are definitely asking the wrong guy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I love? Ash?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Me an acronym, yes, an NRB.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, it just rolls up the Northern rivers be And
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: this is Stone and Wood's greenest beer, Matt us What
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that means for.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Those playing at home, it means they use over seventy
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: percent certified sustainable mold and one hundred percent certified sustainable hops.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: But what is certified sustainable now?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: So it means that the farmers who supply the molten
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: grains to Stone and Wood, they are held to a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: highest standard, the highest standard.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: In the land. As Oh, I love to hear that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So like using less water, looking after the soil that
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the plants are grown in, and using less energy overall.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, that sounds great now, Matt. This isn't a limited edition,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but it is limited in location, so that's what makes
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it unique. You can only buy it in person in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: between Tweed and Yamber. However, if you purchase your beer online,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you can get it anywhere in the country and they'll
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: deliver it straight to your door.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: There is one more way you can get a case
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: of the nib as. There is tell us how that is, Matt.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That's by winning one from us. You can throw up
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a story on your Instagram listening to two doting dads
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: tag us tag Stone and Wood and will throw a case.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: We'll probably not throw, will deliver it to your front door.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and as always we want to thank Stone and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Wood for making this episode possible. Matt, we're back here,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we are, We're back another week. They feel like they're
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: all blending into one as.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm going to pretend to be in a good mood today.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You do that, going to pretend.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You pretend away, my friend be in a great move.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I've just got a couple of little updates for you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: from my end that I just want to just get
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: out of the way. This morning, we have been talking
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: about a big event coming up, huge big event, which
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is my son's first ever birthday. But he's five, it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not his first birthday for those just tuning in.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, last week you mentioned you threw out the manly stickers.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I did. I made a critical mistake of April ordered
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: these custom stickers for the I keep going to call
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: them showbags, but this is not the us to show
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that I'm throwing at a very minor party. It could be,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: it could be, And she had these custom stickers ordered,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and I think I accidentally threw and I was not
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: mad enough. I was a coward, Matt. I was a coward.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And I did not tell her in person. I let
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: her listen to last week's episode.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: How did she react?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: She didn't talk to me for a little while because
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: she had so far and wired to get the right
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: size stickers.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I always say, ash, don't come to me with problems,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: come to me with solutions.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And I do have a solution. What is it? I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have reordered the stickers without her knowing, And so when
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: she found out that I had done this, I said,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but it's okay. I've got new ones on the way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So she's like, so you've wasted all this money as
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: well and my time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you at this point, are you regretting
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: committing to a birthday party?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, yeah, but he's very excited. The best thing
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: about throwing your child a birthday party is the threat
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of being able to cancel it if he's misbehaving. Are
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you using that through Oh, I'm using it hard, hard
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: out getting the bath, no right, birthday party, cancel, no,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: straight to the butt.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I think my initial response is you can't do that.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That's quite mean. But I'm pretty sure it's legal. For
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: two weeks. Yeah, in the last two or three weeks,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that was that was like frontline defense for me, the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: kids and behaving.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I've still canceled Christmas already this year. That fucking pat
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Where is it? For those of you at home listening
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: right now, Matt's chasing a cat around that he pretends
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that he hates, but I think he loves that a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: little bit salty today, and we'll try and get through it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We'll just nurse him through it. Here he comes, deep breath.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: There's a chance, there's a small chance I may not
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: be able to attend the birthday.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Well, wha wha, wha, wha wha, whoa whoa whoah wah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Something's come up, something's come up more important. Look, what's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: more important? Look, I won't go into detail. We don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: have time for that. Yes, we do, will take this offline. No, no, no,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we won't, and we won't. I want everyone listening to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: know why we have a clash of dates. Okay, a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: clash of dates. Clash of dates. The diaries are normally
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: checked thoroughly before committing to any type of activity. Unfortunately,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: better cancel that other activity. There was a mistake that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: was made by whom by myself. I acknowledge this mistake.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I'm currently in the process of trying to fix it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So just you just said to me, yes, don't come
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to me with problems, come to me with solutions.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right coming.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: To me now with a problem and no solutions.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You sound like April. What what's the solution?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: What are the options?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: The options are Laura and I may split, Okay, not permanently,

• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Can I just defend myself for one second in that
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: this morning.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of pent up anger. Yeah, but you're
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: taking it out on me and I don't like it.

  Speaker 2: house has been built badly.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And you'd be a very good way to put it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Before we started recording, the builder walked out and I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: was like, what's the news I did hear? And what
• 8:22

  Speaker 1: of you confused at home, and we have had Matt'
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: mum on the podcast before, a full episode dedicated to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Matt's mum. But today we've just got her on to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: give us an update on a recent trip. She's been
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: on a very long trip. I haven't seen her since
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the cruise. Those of you remember the cruise. She's been
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on what I like to call a senior Kenticky tour,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and I want to know how it all went down.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Ellie Johnson, welcome back to the podcast.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It's lovely to have you back. It's good to be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: finally being on. How long you been away?
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: For nine weeks?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Gosh, it's gone quick.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I went fast. That went way too fast for my liking.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I do want to ask you. I know you got scammed.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I did a number of times you've been taking advantage
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: of well.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Let me put it this way. In the first forty
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: eight hours, I was scammed just over twelve.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Hundred dollars Oh my god, what did you do Dodgy's
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: trip play.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: It was escorts.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: The embarrassing thing was that the scamming started before I
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: even left the country.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Let's start with the first scare, all right, going to Singapore.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Was told that I had to get a transit visa.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Best to get the transit visa before you leave the country. Sure, okay,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: So I'm in the departure lounge. I google Singapore a
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: transit visa, a transit because I wasn't there overnight, it
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: was just going in and.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Out the airport. Yeah.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: I googled, got onto the Singapore Transit site, filled it
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: all in, and then this payment slip just popped up,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: and I thought, oh, there's a charge. So I filled
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: all that in and then it went back onto the site.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I completed the visa, got my visa, everything's fine, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: then there was no amount shown on the payment slip.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: So I checked my credit card and I have an
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: amount of one hundred and ninety two dollars for the visa,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: and I think that's a bit steep. So I questioned it,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and someone said, no, poor, visas are free. You've been scammed.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: They've they've somehow superimposed this payment slip. So then I
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: contact my credit card company, thinking it's just a one
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: off scam.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And you haven't left the country yet, and I.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Have not left the country yet. I disputed the amount,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: but I didn't cancel my card. Oh God, So go along.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: And then I arrive in Paris, I know to follow
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the signs to the taxi rank and to ignore the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: hustlers who are trying to get nahe or you're going, because.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: If anyone who hasn't been to Paris or a lot
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: of countries, Paris is particularly oh ruthless, it's ruthless.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Let me draw you back to a movie by the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: name of Taken in Paris, where she went to Paris
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and she was taken. You weren't taken with you? Well,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I just say that sounds like what you're saying. It's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: pretty dodgy, dodgy.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: But I thought that I was doing all the right thing.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I was ignoring all these people. I know your little game.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Because they call you. And I'm sure, as a seventy
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: three year old woman with a few bags, how many
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: bags did you have?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I had two bags, one small, one medium.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And I'd say it's a large bag. There was a light,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a big bag, and you must have welcomed a nice
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: gentleman coming over and offering some assistance with your bags.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: You're a long friend.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I hate to draw the elderly a lone card, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: when you were of a certain age traveling alone two cases,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: whether you like it or not, there's a target.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You're a target.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: But anyway, but anyway, I thought I was doing okay,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: doors open, pelting down with rain.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, fellow, this fellow was the time of the day.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Was it got to the extually rank And this gentleman said, inspect.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to try.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: And take this seriously. Now ignore is this.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: For me?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: I was really suffering?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, your mum was scared.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I apologize this point.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I wasn't scared.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And the fellow, I'm trying to stick out you moms
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: like shut. I was never scared, not once.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: So fifty five euro was mentioned, great and so pouring
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: with rain, and this driver said, madam, it's raining. You
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: get in the car, I'll deal with the bag and
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I will take the trolley. And I thought to myself,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: what a delightful young man.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: That's what he wanted you to think.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: How nice is he so got in the car dry
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: and as we're driving to the hotel, I look and think, eh,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: he does not have a meter. I have got into
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: a regular car, not a taxi. But I've stitched, so
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: my mistake. But I think, no, no, no, we agreed
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: on fifty five. It'll be okay. Get to the hotel,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: still pouring with rain.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: The rain was fierce that night.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: And he says one hundred and thirty euro, madam.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, my god.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: And I said no, no, no, no extortion. He said
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: fifty five euro and he said, oh yes, madame, but
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: that laid baggage. The bags LITOLLI, oh my god. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I go, okay, stitched, you know, and look what do
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: you do here?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: But you know what, it's easy to say, oh, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have paid it, But what do you do? My
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: bags are in his boot.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Urine is too.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: You know that I can't get my bags.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I'm tired. I just want to get out of this car.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I think exhausted is a more appropriate word, Elie.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: I think exhausted is a bloody good word.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Actually, let's not forget you're seventy nine, you're almost eighty.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: It's not like a hundred and two. So what did
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you do? So? I paid it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Then I go into this hotel, which as soon as
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: you're open the door to a hotel and the stench
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: hits you and I dead body.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Oh dear, you know.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I was tired and this hotel. I mean, I should
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: have realized a hotel called the Terminus. I should have
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: realized it wasn't going to be the best. And then
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: when I thought it couldn't get any worse, what happened next?
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I checked my credit card and there was eight hundred
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: dollars because when I had filled in the.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Four they had your details, they.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Had my details, and Apple pay eight hundred dollars.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: They just kept charging it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Oh so then I thought this true.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I have to say, boys, I am quite resilient, but
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I do remember sitting on this grossy little bed thinking
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I want to go home.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I don't want to stay here anymore.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: That is Look, I do feel sorry for me, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it's also very funny.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I'm very proud of you for doing that. I think
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I forget that seventy three two. I'm seventy two years.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I know lots of other individuals who were hitting seventy
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: who were nowhere near as sharp as you. Yeah, that's true,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: and I think you should be commended on making the
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: trip an adventure if you will by yourself.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Did you meet any young suitors while you were there French? Oh?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Look close to where I was staying, there was a charcouterii,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: which is a place where you can buy.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Meats and.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Board.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, a charcouteriie on Francille is
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: lots of meats, cooked meats. And I used to go
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and there was this gentleman and it was quite quite
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: weird because I kin't. In my head, I sort of thought, oh,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he's almost seventy, and then I thought,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I I shouldn't be so judgment But anyway, it was
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: quite funny. No, he wasn't. But he was a real character.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: And I would come in and he'd make a big
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: fuss and he would do beautiful meals like Berth Bourgigno.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And then this one day I got I got a
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Berth Bourgigno and he's no, no, And he sidled up
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: and he said, today I have a very nice coco
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: beat and the back of a van Coco bet, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a little bit because I
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: think you should try it. So I think that was
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: like a youth, you're.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Going to have a little brother. Yes, cock, And then
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: he scanned me out of the rest of my and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I came home.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: It was a very tasty cock.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Cock his chicken. There's nothing better than a French cock.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: As I always say.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Very good, that's very very good. I'm glad you're back.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Before you go on your recent trip, can you remember
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: any moments that were particularly scary.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Terrifying if you will. Yeah, other than.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: The cross when I tell you this, because it was
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit reckless, so I.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Would never be reckless.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I had in Paris. I had to go from
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: one station to another station and it was on the
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: GPS seven minutes walking and I thought, I'm not going
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: to get a taxi. I'm not going to be scammed again.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Can I just say there has been an occasion where
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Mum went down to the shops to get some food.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: About five hundred.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Meters I lost a straight line straight back, like maybe
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: an hour later.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, where are you and she was like,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'm in Marobra. Oh my god.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a bit no no, but I got this.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I was following. It was all going well, and then
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I went off the beaten track and there well because
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: it told me to. And then suddenly I was faced
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: with this large tunnel and it said it said go through.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: The tunnel said do not enter at your own reason.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: And it was pretty dark, and I thought, well, okay,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: it says to go and so I went in and
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: everything was fine until we turned a corner and the
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: whole of the pavement opened up, and I kid you not,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: there was probably about a hundred what looked like men,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: all camping out. It was like it was tense city.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: And I just looked at.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: All these men who suddenly stared at me. I didn't
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: say anything. I just I just thought, shit, this is
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: not good.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Are you sure Google Maps told you to go there?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: I can't walk on the pavement because it's it's all
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: full of tents and sleeping bagstock back on the road.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: The worst thing was there was this trickle of water
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: going across a stench urine unbelievable, and it was not water,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: it was urine and knew it, and I thought and.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Somebody pissed the public many times.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: And then I saw a chink of light and I thought,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I'm getting out of here. I put my head down,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: my bum up, and I've never gone.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Hang on a minute.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It's not the position you want to be in.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: And what you want to be back it right up.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: So I pulled my pants down, my teeth, put my
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: eyes in the air, and raced for impact.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I wonder it was scary anyway.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: So I just race out of that as fast as
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I could.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Ellie, thank you for joining us, thank you for coming back,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: thank you for making it back safely. And I appreciate
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: all the times that you got scanned because I think
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: it's hilarious.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Do you know, I think it's really sad.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to wrap this up.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I love you, Mom, thank you.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: It's nice to be back.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I love you. I'm sure the listeners love that, the French,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: especially Ash.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: We're going to have a bit of a change of
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: gears right now, and normally we only ever want to
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: be fun time people have a laugh.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to scratch more than just the surface.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Man very well said, thank you.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And the reason we're going to change gears and be
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: a little bit serious for a second is because it
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: is Men's Health Week. Is let's be honest, men are
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: a little bit crap when it comes to health.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: To their own health.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: And I know recently you and your family have been
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: dealing with a health incident and it's been, like I
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: would say, it's it's pretty huge.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, through a big spanner in the work there. For
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, my dad came down to visit
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: my kids and my sister's kids, so his grandkids. He
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't get to see that often. They live on the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Gold Coast, so they came down for a few days,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: which is nice. And he'd been on a few trips
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: this year over the last twelve months and he managed
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to pick up like a bit of an infection that
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: led to him having to go to hospital once he
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: got here with the infection just getting a little bit
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: out of hand, but it led to something a little
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: bit more serious where he was on an IV drip
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and some antibiotics, had to go to the hospital every day.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: But the problem from that is he came to visit
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: my kids and he was fine. He was recovering from that,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: which is great, but he did mention to us once
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I was walking back to the car that he was
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit out of breath. And then my mum
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: had also flagged with me over the last twelve months
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that he'd been sort of losing breath on minor walks
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and all sorts of things.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: But your dad is very fit.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: He's a fit guy here, serves a lot, walks a lot.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: He's retired, so he spends a lot of the time
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I'm walking up and down the beach all that sort
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: of stuff active. But over the last twelve months, yeah,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: he was losing He sort of would lose breath. And
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: just to take you back a little bit for a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: bit of context, when he was forty one years old,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: he had a heart attack and had some stents put
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: into his archery and anyway, So after he'd taken that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: walk to the car, he'd gone back to where they
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: were staying in the accommodation. I received a call at
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: six am in the morning that my dad had been
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: rushed to the ICU. Wow, and he hadn't suffered a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: heart attack. But what happened is the fluid from the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: IV that he had had landed sort of gone into
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: his lungs and he couldn't breathe. So he was essentially drowning.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Really at his accommodation in front of my mum. The
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: ambulance came and he survived. Obviously, it turns out that
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: he needed a triple bypass because his heart wasn't actual well.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That stent he had was only working at two percent,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: so the other arteries had to pick up the slack
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and it just they just got to a point after
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: twelve months of him struggling with shortness of breath and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: ignoring those signs that he just couldn't take it anymore.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And the doctor said that he was pretty lucky.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Though. He was really lucky. They said if if he
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't as fit as he was, or if he was overweight,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: he would be dead. Essentially, he would have had a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: heart attack, he would have died multiple times over the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: last years. Those archeries were actually trying to pick up
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the slack anyway. So he went in to have that
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: triple bypass surgery here in Sydney. So a three day
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: trip turned into a six week trip where he was
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: stuck here in Sydney. Wow. And you know, there's a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: lot of conversations that happened between him and going into surgery.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: He was upbeat up front, but I could see that
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in his eyes he was a little bit scared, and
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: he said to me a few times, he said, I
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: haven't been well for a long time, and we all
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: knew it, but he refused to admit it to himself.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: He said to me, I was scared. I was scared
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: of what I would have to go through again. The
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: reality of that something was not okay with me, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: we all sort of were like, yeah, we know, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: it's so easy to be like we told you, it's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: so easy to be that guy, but it's much better
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: not to be that guy. It was also a realization
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that he had artery disease, which is genetic, which I'm
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: his son, so that gets passed down to me. Which
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: when I have mentioned that to doctors and stuff like that,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: they've gone, oh, you know, you should get checked and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I will never do. I'm just I'm
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: essentially repeating history as as it happens.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: So since that diagnosis and since the surgery, have you
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: gotten checked up?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Not yet? But the I mean I actually have been
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in for a skin check that my wife made me go.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: She booked it and said you've got to go. But
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I think like the biggest takeaway from from the whole
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: experience is that I do need to pull my fucking
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: finger out, in the lack of a better word, because
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you know, two days after that, he essentially died in
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the hospital bed and they had to reboot him. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: for that split moment, I didn't have a dad and
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: they had to go back into surgery. And you know,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and the constant talk around it is for twelve months,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you've had an opportunity to face your fears, you know,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: like I said, pull your finger out and put everyone
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: around you his mind at ease that something's not okay
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: so that it can be okay and you can continue
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to live your life. He's great now, but he is
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: so full of I won't let this happen again. And
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I hope that's truthful.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: And has he said anything to you about your health
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and you getting Yeah.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: He just says, stopping a dickhead, go and do it,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and that's completely fair. And my wife is also really like,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you've got I got young kids. My dad had a
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: heart to take at forty one, Matt, I'm thirty four
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: years old. I'm not far off that and I would
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: make seven years. And my mum really spooks me a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: lot because he and I at this age lived a
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: very similar lifestyle. And you know me, I'm quite a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: heavy drinker. I ever really one hundred percent take care
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: of myself all the time, or so I think, yeah,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: like it's something that being in the position I am,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and like I should probably lead by example to go
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: fucking go and do it, go and get something checked
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: to make sure that can help not just me but
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: my kids.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I think what your dad has gone through, though, is
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: is definitely not an isolated case in terms of older men.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: It's the story in the hospital. It's so funny. We're
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: in intensive care after the fact and Dad's got even
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: before the surgery, Dad's got guys around to him in
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the cardiac all in the same boat that all didn't
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: get shit checked, and all waited too long, or you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: waited till the very last minute before it was fatal.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: And even Dad saying people coming in and dying because
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: you know, this fifty year old bloke who's a young
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: man didn't go and do the very minor thing, which
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: is to get a blood test. And for me personally,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I'm fucking petrified. I haven't had a blood test in
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: like ten years plus. I haven't had a blood test
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: since I've been married. To my wife that way.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever had one either, and I
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: think it's maybe down to the fact that I don't
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: want to get old. No one does.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: You think you're just with Superman, Sin whatever, Peter Pan whatever.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I'm staring down the barrel now at turning forty and
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I hate it. I absolutely hate it. You know, no
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: one wants to get old at all. And I think
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: having these regular checkups and it's the realization that you know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: we're no longer twenty year old. We are getting nice.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I feel. I always said to April, I'm like, I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: wonder when I'm going to be a full grown man.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, listen here, dickhead, you are a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: fully grown man. So go and fucking get go and
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: get something checked, just so that you can give myself
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and the kids some peace of mind that you're looking
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: after yourself so that you'll be here for the long run.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: And that goes for if I'm talking to anyone that
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: goes to all these young dads that follow us and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: messages and send us we love your podcast, all that shit.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Who've got two three year olds that are relating so much,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Go and fucking get something checked. Look, because there's so
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: much talk with Dad over the last few weeks of
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you could have avoided it being as scare
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: for the whole family if you'd just been checked and
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: known what we were in for, know what we're in
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: for ahead of time, instead of you having to come
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to see your grandkids and then having to see you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: like that when you could have gone early. Notice that
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: you're out of breath for no reason, for walking on
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: flat ground when he is quite a fit guy, like
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you've met him. Go early, Go and do it early.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: And look, you know, I'm guilty of doing it too,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: of leaving things at the last minute, But I would
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: say earlier is better, Matt.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with any medical condition, the more time you can
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: give doctors, the better your chances of survival. I know
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that Laura's stepdad at the moment, he is going through
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: one hell of a battle, which it breaks my heart
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: the fact that he's currently in palliative care. Eight years
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and unfortunately, by
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: the time they had diagnosed him, it was already terminal.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think he's pretty young as well.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: He's like in his sixties at the moment. Yeah, And
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I can't help but think if he had gone to
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the doctor sooner, if he had gotten checked out, if
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: they had found it, you know, just a little bit earlier,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: he may have had a better chance of survival.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And it could be hard sometimes to see what the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: warning signs are, right, So with every medical condition, they've
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: all got different symptoms. Did he have any particular symptoms
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: that he thought, you know, look back now in hindsight
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and go, that was abnormal and maybe I should have
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: gotten that check.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the big one was having to urinate
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: a lot, really frequently, abnormally frequently.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: What's abnormally frequently?
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Do you think enough for it to impact your daily life? Yeah,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: the fact that you're always having to know you need
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to be close to a toilet.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Usually you can plan your pissiness out, yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. But Laura's mum was like
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: so many women in the relationship, where she was trying
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: to force him to go the doctors and they get
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: himself checked out. And when I speak to Neil now,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: of course he wishes that, Yeah, he had gone sooner.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: And it's such a stubborn thing that men do, right, Oh,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: we go, Yeah, we'll do it. Yeah, I'm all right,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: we'll do it well. And it's not just the major things,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: it's the minor things too that can impact your life.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, as you were saying, early detection is.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: So important important. So if you're a man listening.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, Matt, I'm going to make a promise to you.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Go on. Okay, I haven't had a blood test in
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: what I say, ten or fifteen years. I wouldn't even know.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: So I promise to go and book in and get
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a blood test. If this week or next week, I
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: will send you the confirmation and start the process. Because
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I do have a genetic disease, it's being passed down
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to me. I can't really help that. At least if
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I can start to look at it now, then maybe
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I won't get to a point in my life where
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: my family's scared for my health, if that makes sense.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And I can't run this podcast by myself.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: No you cannot.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Well, everyone's replaceable, man, I'll do the same.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: You do the same blood test, all right, blood brothers,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the corners, the blood brothers. Okay, so we're promising each other.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: This is promise. Seeing the listeners.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: See the listeners as well, that it's so bloody easy
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: for these non critical things, you know, because we're all
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: flat out working looking after the kids, that this is
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: like the last thing we want to worry about. But
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: we'll do it. Yeah, I'll share the results.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you can take a moment to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: look after yourself, to help to look after your kids
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: long term, it's priceless. So go and do that. We'll
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: do it and we'll update you unless I don't turn
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: back up and it's too late. Sorry, that was a
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: poor message.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: As Shu, it is time for listener questions and hey,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: why don't you kick us off today, Matt.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I have a question here from Chantel shantell or Shantel.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how she pronounces it, but I'm sorry
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: if I but you it all three of those. But
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: she she wants to know, Matt, what other non sexy
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: things that you do that your partner Laura finds as
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a turn on.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I've got a great list here, Ash, you got a list.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: I've got a list because I put the call out
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: to people who listen to the podcast to get their answers.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: But for me, I've said this before many times. Any
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: domestic work around the house chalk play turns Laura into
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: a horn dog, in particular doing the dishwasher and washing
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the laundry.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Ah.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I don't do it as much these days, but if
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I was to get the mop bucket out, be careful.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: She will rip my clothes off. That's the only reason
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: why I don't do it afterwards. But hey, what's it?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: What's it for April?
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: What does she love? Oh that's a very very very
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: good questioned. I don't know what she likes. No, same thing.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I think if you get if your elbow deep in
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a toilet, the sexy you are, I.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Mean, I like elbow deep in something else later on.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Oo cleaning seems to be the common consensus.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: But I've got a little list here, as I know
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: you've got it figu yourself. So maybe we can just
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: give like some sexy right now to really set the move.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let me just turn something on really quickly. Ah.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, when he wears his hat backwards, Oh, that.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Was a big trend for a while. That's that is
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: pretty sexy. I'm just going to say Laura does like it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I guess when he rolls up his sleeves, yeah, means
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: business is about to happen business times, like when the
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: sleeves roll up, you know shit's about.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: To go down. There is a lot of cleaning. There's
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: some just some nice ones. I would say that's just
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: like being a nice person, which is like running me
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a hot bath just for no.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Reason gives you an indication of how low that bar is.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Where it's like if someone just ran me a bath,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: did the bare minimum, I would love him.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Just when one here is just like just be competent
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: for the whole day.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: This is a niche one. She says her husband created
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: a cracker for a stock whip out of a plastic bag.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: What she loved it, Oh, my goodnessn't good enough. My
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: last one's really really simple. It's just getting a pay rise.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if April ever loves this, but this
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: one says when he puts his hand on the passenger
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: headset and reverses the.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, I remember because back in the day, when I
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: was a child, this is how I was conceived. I reckon.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: There was no reverse cameras, and that was the go
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: to move. I reckon. I reckon. Dad's like and the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: feel of it, even if you're slided in between.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Oh Sam also wearing anything gray, great sweatpants.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: You've got to have a decent sized cock for that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I don't even know about.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Here when he's on a work phone call and he
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: uses his professional voice, Oh.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Because your voice changes so much when you just like
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: chatting to her mate, chatting to her or him, and
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: then you're back into me, Like, we'll just circle back
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to that. It was like, circle back, circle back on.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: This question for you. Yes, this one comes from Nathan.

• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Marley will always drop in. She's like, you know, because
• 39:46

• 39:59
  Speaker 2: And I'll give her something and I'm like.

  Speaker 1: There you go. That was a.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Big lot of medicine and super strength. And she's like thanks, Daddy,

• 40:08
  Speaker 2: know why. She's just obsessed with band aids. Oh yeah,

  Speaker 2: loves them at the moment, and I think this is
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: on me. I've now done it so much that it's
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: part of the morning routine. So we'll have breakfast, we'll
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: get changed.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Have a band aid.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Literally, she will. As I get her change, she's looking
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: at her arms, looking at her fingers, any type of
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: blem is. She's like, dad, wow, help me, help me out.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I've got I love. I'm churning through bandaids. Also, shouldn't
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: have got the ones with the kid cartoons on it,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: because she loves them. Yeah, she's obsessed with them. So like,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: right now I can't leave the house without waking a
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: band aid on it somewhere.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I just have it pre empty with the clothes. You're like, okay,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I've got shirt, jumper pants, underpants, socks, band.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Aids And it makes her so happy. She gets it
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: on and she's like all right, let's.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Get the car. Got everything. The same thing where her
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: and our school were running around the lounge. She's fallen over,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and like, legitimately it must have scared her or whatever,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: hurt her foot a little bit. She must get like
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: a little bit of carpet burn or I don't know,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: but she was all of a sudden fine, great, And
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: then she just like developed a limp, just like moments later,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: and we were like what, oh my god, Like she's
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: got a limp. She's got a limp, and I was like,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: what's wrong. She was like, I need a band aid?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: And then did you give her one? Yeah? On the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: opposite leg. She was fine, just like anyway, they're being
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: old liars, man, don't believe anything. We always try and do,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: like you're the boy who cried wolf. And then someone
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: told me that the boy who cried wolf died anyway,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: and I was like, well, a bit morbid. It's a
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: bit morbid.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: But anyway, hey, do you know what I'm worried about, Well,
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: the fact that we recorded with mum. We sent her
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: out to pick up a sandwich from the cafe down
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: the road.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I forgot. Yeah, yeah, right now she's probably getting scammed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: She's probably face to face with one hundred men under
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: a bridge somewhere.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: God, let's wrap this up. We give her a call
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and see if she's okay.
