- 0:16Taker. No, just said the sensei.
- 0:18It's am I right? It's the bro Machi, the host
- 0:22from the coast. Champagne puppy G66YO.
- 0:27Welcome back to the Talking Shit podcast.
- 0:29You're here with Josiah Machu, bringing you the latest on
- 0:31sports, pop culture and last bit questions.
- 0:34On today's episode, we'll be talking about moving houses.
- 0:37And we got something from In the Shit Mailbag as well, where our
- 0:41listeners have sent in another dilemma.
- 0:43Yeah. To throw back to last week, we
- 0:44got some more to touch on. So bro kick it off man, what
- 0:48happened over the weekend? Yeah.
- 0:50So I guess that's just an update on what what was kind of
- 0:54happening in my life recently one of the Bros was moving
- 0:57house. And so you know me put my hand
- 0:59up. I was like, yeah, bro, I'll come
- 1:01help you, I'll come help you. And it kind of, you always
- 1:05forget though, if you haven't moved in a while, how much of A
- 1:07mission it is to move bro. Like I've I've forgot because
- 1:12we've moved the heaps as well. And recently.
- 1:14And so I forgot, I kind of forgot.
- 1:15But like, yeah, I'll be a good dude.
- 1:16I'll go help them. And it was like 9 till 8:00.
- 1:20And then it got to the point, you know, you know, you get to
- 1:24the point where you've moved everything in and stuff.
- 1:26You've done a few massive loads. And then I was kind of like, I
- 1:30want to go now. But I looked around and
- 1:32everything was just being like placed in the house and
- 1:34everything still need to be set up.
- 1:36And then and then a little boy look at me like, yeah, good.
- 1:39I was like, I'll stay, I'll stay, bro.
- 1:41Give me give me the what you call the thing that you used to
- 1:44put the beads up the the tool. The screw.
- 1:47The. The screwdriver.
- 1:49Bro, what is it called? It's the Ellen Keliki.
- 1:52Yeah, bro. I was like, give me the Ellen
- 1:53key, bro. Doing all the beads, eh?
- 1:56And then bro, it's, it's like a mission away, bro.
- 2:00Surely they were were just happy enough that you just helped them
- 2:03move all the stuff to the house. They were.
- 2:05They were. But like, I was looking.
- 2:06I was like, where you gonna sleep?
- 2:08I was like bro. Where you gonna sleep then?
- 2:10Oh, bro. But anyway, it threw me back to
- 2:13when we were actually moving house and we've had a few
- 2:16missions a moving like how? How hard?
- 2:18Nice. Oh, bro.
- 2:20So yeah, pretty much what we happened when we moved house.
- 2:23We moved, we were in an apartment and we moved to the
- 2:26same apartment. Hey, so we pretty much just
- 2:28moved upstairs. We had to get the key from the
- 2:32rental lady and then she sent the key in the mailbox because
- 2:36she didn't want to drop it off to us.
- 2:37She's like, it's part of the tenancy obligation that you have
- 2:40to come and pick up the key. And we're like, bro, it's your
- 2:43job, come and drop. The key off to us, and this is
- 2:45the thing that really frustrated us, was that the property
- 2:48managers of this new unit, right.
- 2:50So we were moving from floor, say 4 to floor 6.
- 2:53That's all it was. Yeah.
- 2:55But the property managers that were looking after this new unit
- 2:58they were moving into were all the way up in Brisbane.
- 3:01So that was the part that really got us, because they didn't
- 3:05stipulate that at all, even though obviously, yeah, yeah, it
- 3:08came with some. They they sent, they sent the
- 3:10keys in the mail anyway. And the then when they, when
- 3:13they sent it, it didn't have the fobs.
- 3:15And so bro, we had organized the move and I think mentioned, oh,
- 3:19flying out the next morning. Yeah.
- 3:21And then so it was like, OK, we got the keys.
- 3:24Where's the Forbes, Bro? We can't move in.
- 3:26Like we got to get out of our place.
- 3:27We can't get up there. We end up calling the neighbor.
- 3:29The neighbors lead us up. My says lady, And then we ended
- 3:32up being able to move in and pro.
- 3:34It cracks me up how we were like, do you remember we were
- 3:37struggling with the washing machine.
- 3:38Yeah, yeah. Bro, so pretty much me and
- 3:42Josiah left it everything. We'll be trying to be the big
- 3:44strong dude. We left the whole this washing
- 3:47machine is pretty heavy A and we're like, bro, we're
- 3:49struggling holding it the whole time, like stick it.
- 3:53Then oh, he's sweating. Like full sweating bro.
- 3:55Put it down and the whole washing machine full was full
- 3:58with wet clothes. Oh, we put this washing lid on
- 4:03before we left our last unit. Yeah, yeah, that was
- 4:07frustrating. They, it was just annoying
- 4:09because so that, that the property managers like didn't
- 4:11even think about us. Like they were just like, OK, So
- 4:14what? This is the thing that actually
- 4:15really got me. First and foremost, they go, OK,
- 4:18can you guys just, you know, push the elevator key?
- 4:21Yeah. Well, first and foremost, we
- 4:22need the fog. Yeah.
- 4:23Second thing was, OK, can you come up to Brisbane?
- 4:26Yeah. And grab the key?
- 4:27Not at 7:00 PM at night. Bro.
- 4:29That was crazy bro. And then the third thing that
- 4:32really got me like to my tipping point was when they go, OK, can
- 4:36you just pay for an Uber and the key will get Uber down to you.
- 4:38Do you remember that? Oh yes.
- 4:42Uber it. By that point it was like 8:00
- 4:44PM, maybe even closer to 9, I want to say.
- 4:47And all four of us were kind of like, bro, what is going on
- 4:51here? Like we're actually this is
- 4:53stupid. Yeah, and we were actually
- 4:55stuffed. Like, yeah, yeah, lucky.
- 4:57We're lucky. We really didn't have a lot to
- 5:00move at that point. Yeah.
- 5:02Because he, like you said, we've moved a few Times Now and I feel
- 5:05like we're in a house now where we're kind of happy with, you
- 5:08know, for for the foreseeable future.
- 5:10Yeah. But seriously, moving 2 levels
- 5:13up should not be there that. Hard bro it.
- 5:16Should not be there. Oh my God.
- 5:18That really got me by the end of it, eh?
- 5:20Yeah, yeah. So anyway, happy people at the
- 5:22end of the day with the Bros moving in.
- 5:24Oh they better be. They better be bro.
- 5:26Surely they shaded? In love.
- 5:28Nah, nothing, nothing. I actually bought the beers as
- 5:31well, so. Oh, I remember that.
- 5:33Yeah, yeah, well, it sounds like you owed something, bro.
- 5:37All right, shit, mailbag. Where a couple of our listeners
- 5:40have sent in something recently and the first thing we're going
- 5:43to do, we're actually going to play an audio from a couple who
- 5:46have shared a dilemma, a current dilemma that they have in their
- 5:49relationship over a certain scenario.
- 5:52So this comes from Luke and Chelsea, and this is basically.
- 5:55No, no, no. Yeah, this, this, this
- 5:57basically, well comes from a scenario situation where they
- 6:02are in a bit of a disagreement and they want our opinion on it.
- 6:05They're arguing. They're arguing.
- 6:08And they're saying, guys tell me I'm right.
- 6:11That's pretty much what they're asking for.
- 6:13So first audio is the bro Luke. Hi guys, it's Luke, Chelsea's
- 6:20better half. We have a bit of a dilemma
- 6:25pretty much short story would be that I offered to do some of her
- 6:29chores, the dishes while she was doing them and pretty much she
- 6:35was putting them away. I said I'll put them away later.
- 6:38Seeing that I had a relatively easy day on.
- 6:42Got home from work, decided to quickly go play around the golf
- 6:48with the boys, then got home just after her, which to her
- 6:55frustration the dishes weren't put away.
- 6:58I put them away then and there, but it was more the fact that I
- 7:02said I would do it later but decided to play golf instead.
- 7:06Cheers. I just want to point out very
- 7:09quickly, he has his priorities right.
- 7:13Golf comes first. Wait, so.
- 7:14It was her dishes. No, it was both of their dishes.
- 7:17Both of their dishes. OK, OK, well let's just quickly
- 7:20listen to She's Gonna Start. She sent in as well, so she's
- 7:24got a fair vision to make it podcast to make it fair.
- 7:27Here we go. Hey guys.
- 7:29So tell me what you think, because obviously I think I'm
- 7:36right. I'm Luke thinks he's right.
- 7:39So it's going to be interesting to have your take on this.
- 7:41But essentially what's happened is in the morning I was putting
- 7:47away the dishes from the night before.
- 7:48And actually it was my delegated chore because I had cooked the
- 7:53night before. And that's just the way Luke and
- 7:55I work. If you cook, you clean.
- 7:58And that's just because I rent the kitchen essentially, which
- 8:01is fair. So I clean up my mess.
- 8:03So I was putting away the dishes I was 10% in and Luke is just
- 8:10about to walk out the door to take Anubis on a walk and he
- 8:13goes, Charles, leave the dishes. I'll I'll do them when I get
- 8:19back later. And I'm stunned.
- 8:23I'm like, Oh my gosh, like, thank you so much.
- 8:27I actually really appreciate that, especially because I was
- 8:30kind of running a little late. So I obviously go to work and I
- 8:36get a call at around midday lunchtime and Luke's calling to
- 8:42say, oh, I've, you know, I've gone and take the vans for a
- 8:47wash. Like I've done this.
- 8:48I've done my invoicing, I've done everything I've needed to
- 8:52do. And now I'm on my way with Aidan
- 8:55to go play golf, to meet up with you.
- 8:57Joss don't help. Me like that What?
- 9:01You guys are playing golf on a work, like on a work day.
- 9:04I'm so jealous. I made it apparent that I was
- 9:06jealous. But I said have a good game, see
- 9:09you later. Now supportive.
- 9:12I end up having quite a, you know, not a hard day, but I was
- 9:17quite tired after work and I came home probably a bit more
- 9:21tired than usual. So I could have overreacted or
- 9:26just gone up a little bit, but came home, walked through the
- 9:30door and I see the dishes not done and I'm just like, what the
- 9:38hell? So Luke comes home, I give him
- 9:43the biggest evils. And I'm like, you haven't done
- 9:46the dishes? What?
- 9:48What it why you haven't done the dishes?
- 9:51How did you forget? You said you did everything.
- 9:53He goes and then he he goes. I said I would do it later like
- 9:59I'm doing it later. So.
- 10:03Tell me what your thoughts are on that because I obviously
- 10:07think that's wack. Later when he said later, I
- 10:10thought he was alluding to after he took a new persona walk and
- 10:13then he calls me at midday to say he's done all the things he
- 10:16needed to do and now he's going to go play golf with you.
- 10:20If it was, you know, I, I got stacked with work and I just
- 10:26didn't get around to it because I had to, like, I just got
- 10:29caught up with work. Sorry.
- 10:30Like I understand that, but he had a lot of time to do it.
- 10:35So yeah, anyways, I'm leaving it there.
- 10:37I don't know why she yelled at me like that.
- 10:39That's crazy. Luke knows that when I'm on
- 10:42school holidays, though, I'm available.
- 10:43You know? I'm freaking fast, so you know.
- 10:45Meanwhile, just I was like, you don't.
- 10:46Have to do it, don't worry. She'll she'll be all.
- 10:49Good, I did. I obviously had a part to play
- 10:52in this. At any time during golf did he
- 10:54mention the dishes? He mentioned it before.
- 10:57Oh. I will say so it is your fault.
- 11:00He didn't mention it, he said. I did tell Chelsea that I am
- 11:03going to do the dishes so I do need to finish golf as soon as
- 11:06possible so I can get. Home before OK, that's actually
- 11:09bro, he's actually thinking about you, the whole.
- 11:11Time he actually was, yeah. He really was bro.
- 11:13That's a good point. Like Chelsea, I would actually
- 11:15really look back at that and be like, damn, he was.
- 11:18I was actually on his mind the whole time, on my end.
- 11:21He bought, he bought it up like on on like 3 or 4.
- 11:23Occasions, so it must have been really hard for him to do the
- 11:26dishes because he really must have wanted to do them there.
- 11:29Yeah, that's a good point actually in this case, yeah,
- 11:32obviously I think we've done this multiple times.
- 11:35They we've said to the permissions, we don't say that
- 11:38that. That that me worry you guys.
- 11:40I'm I'm, I'm an Angel. I heard you say, should I?
- 11:43Should I put dinner on? Great Shanaz almost stabbed me
- 11:47before in the. Kitchen.
- 11:49I've seen it. I've seen it.
- 11:53No, it's, yeah, I don't know. Very.
- 11:55Do you do that though? Like before I do that because
- 11:59you know, the the argument comes from when you want to do the
- 12:03thing. Yeah.
- 12:04And it's like they want it to be done now, but you're like, I'm
- 12:06gonna do it. But when, when, when is a
- 12:10acceptable time to be able to do it?
- 12:12If they want it done now, can you watch the Warriors and then
- 12:16play do it after? Or like, do you get half an
- 12:18hour? There's 1/2 an hour window about
- 12:20the gap. My miss say, I think she's
- 12:23picked up on something actually in the recent years and that's
- 12:27she just has to keep nagging me because she knows I get
- 12:30frustrated when she keeps saying Josiah, Josiah, Josiah, can you
- 12:33do that now? Like can you, can you do this
- 12:35now? Like, come on, Josiah.
- 12:37And I actually get so frustrated and makes me do it.
- 12:40Yeah, OK. So maybe that's the hack.
- 12:43Maybe that's the. Hack just just nag us.
- 12:44Yeah, because she always says like, I actually need to be told
- 12:49what to do because like otherwise I don't have the same
- 12:55like standards as her. So like if I see something I
- 12:57maybe won't see it needs to be cleaned, but she'll be like, no,
- 13:00it needs to be cleaned, you need to clean it.
- 13:01So I think what we're saying here is, Chelsea, you are
- 13:04correct in this situation, but Luke was was, you know, just
- 13:09want to put this out there. He had you on his mind the
- 13:11entire time, on his conscience. So Luke maybe won this whole
- 13:13situation because he came out actually the one thinking about
- 13:16you the whole day the. Whole day.
- 13:18Like, when did you think about him?
- 13:22I got a pretty crazy one said to me so I haven't told you this
- 13:27one either. So the student wrote it and he
- 13:30said I'll say a non. My friend was messaging this
- 13:34girl on social media and ended up sending a nude to her Idiot
- 13:41and then. I'm not to comment.
- 13:43On the and the first, don't comment.
- 13:51Yeah, sorry bro Carry. On and then bro, the first reply
- 13:54was a selfie of a of a Asian man and he said I've got this, I've
- 13:57got this nude. I'm going to send it to every
- 14:00single one of your followers if you don't send me $5000.
- 14:07Straight. Up, bro, straight up.
- 14:11So it's real. Yeah.
- 14:12So apparently it coexisted. And then he messaged all his
- 14:15followers and said I'm sorry for what you're about to see.
- 14:22Wait, hold on. See, he said, he pretty much
- 14:25said he was gonna cop the five grand, but you have to.
- 14:28Yeah. And he was like, he was pretty
- 14:31much gonna say, Yep, here, guys, just saying, you know, this is
- 14:33what's gonna happen. Sorry, sorry, we're about to
- 14:35see. That's actually funny bro.
- 14:38He literally copped. The boy, he just goes.
- 14:41He got 5000. Yeah.
- 14:43Oh, sorry guys. Can't do that hell.
- 14:45No. You know what I can't do?
- 14:49Oh bro, that's crazy. Because you can't give the
- 14:51money. Because if you give the money,
- 14:53then they'll just be like, I need another.
- 14:54Five. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 14:55And it's like, bro, when does this stop?
- 14:57Yeah, yeah. So you're telling me he didn't
- 14:59even know who he was sending this picture to?
- 15:01Yeah, he got pretty much catfished.
- 15:03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, that's crazy.
- 15:05We were talking about it the other night.
- 15:06Was it us? Oh, no, no, I was talking with
- 15:08some other boats. I didn't realize how Like Bo,
- 15:14maybe we don't talk about this, but trigger happy dudes are like
- 15:17high school, we're sending nudes.
- 15:19Have you heard about that? I have bro apparently.
- 15:21They just like just cold call you bro and just.
- 15:24I can't. Yeah, I know, I know.
- 15:27It's bad you don't. Know it wasn't about me.
- 15:29No, it's about no, I'll tell you no.
- 15:31That's that's I can't say that on you, but that is bad.
- 15:36Yeah, anyway, bro. Because yeah, there's no way
- 15:38you're sending the money out. You just have.
- 15:40To cop it bro. No you do.
- 15:41You actually have to cop. It you just have to cop like,
- 15:43yeah. That's crazy because you're

- 16:12Send nudes to someone you don't know bro at all.
- 16:15It is kind of bro the amount of people that did it in high
- 16:18school was actually insane. Hey.
- 16:19Yeah, there's some freaky, freaky, freaky people out there,
- 16:23man. There's some desperate people
- 16:24out there bro. But The thing is, sometimes it
- 16:27works so. Enemas.
- 16:30Hey love, who you want to love man?
- 16:32Yeah, just don't be economic cricket.
- 16:35Oh, I think all right. Hot take of the week.
- 16:44I have a bit of AI, have a bit of beef to pick here with a
- 16:48certain topic that is common in society and that is poetry.
- 16:53Is that common? Apparently, apparently I'm, I'm,
- 16:58I'm, I'm quite behind when it comes to understanding poetry.
- 17:03So this comes from a recent trip I had with family, friends and
- 17:09one of my, my best mate and his partner.
- 17:12And we're in Fiji. And on one of the nights there
- 17:16we started sharing about poetry. Well, they did because I'm the
- 17:21type of person. I just, I can't understand it.
- 17:24I don't get it. Like no, I don't get.
- 17:26It either it's actually real challenging, hey.
- 17:28Rapping. I know.
- 17:29Rapping poetry. Yeah, that gets me.
- 17:31Yeah, so just to kind of preface all of this, like we kind of
- 17:35went into some deep emotional type of poetry.
- 17:38That's what they're purposely trying to make you cry.
- 17:42Well, make me think. And so this is kind of where
- 17:48we're going in with our hot take here.
- 17:49So what we're going to do, we're going to kind of share a few
- 17:51poetry lines and see if the other person in the room can
- 17:56understand or break it down. Yeah.
- 17:58Yeah, OK. I got.
- 17:59I got a few from so I'll be trying to figure it out at the
- 18:02same time as you. You go first.
- 18:05I'll go first. Yeah, this one's called fire and
- 18:07ice. Some say the world will end in
- 18:10fire. Some say.
- 18:11And ice, from what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who
- 18:17favour fire. But if it had to perish twice, I
- 18:21think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction, ice is
- 18:27also great and would suffice. OK, so.
- 18:37Did you ever get what I should? Have started hey what I heard
- 18:40was fire ice Yeah, that's the OK hold on.
- 18:43That's a really good point because this is what my best
- 18:47mate Andy and his beautiful partner Maddie brought up over
- 18:51there and they were like, you only hear one or two words.
- 18:55Just sigh. This is your problem.
- 18:56Yeah, right. And that's all I get.
- 18:58But I read it and I remember that Fire and ice.
- 19:04OK, I'm just looking. You need to be a good reader as
- 19:06well. You do.
- 19:09What if you can't read it? And I was like, you're suffice.
- 19:12Yeah, OK, I'll go again. I'll go again.
- 19:16OK, I'll try a little bit. Yeah.
- 19:18Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.
- 19:22From what I've tasted of desire, I would.
- 19:25Nope. I hold with those who fire
- 19:28favour fire. But if it had to perish twice.
- 19:33I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction.
- 19:36Ice See, this is when I start to get lost.
- 19:39Are you lost? You've lost me already.
- 19:42You lost me from the first word. When I stuffed up.
- 19:44OK, So what do you think? What do you think?
- 19:45It is pretty. Much from what you can remember,
- 19:47kind of what I'm gathering from this is that I'm going to say
- 19:52something along of. You're going to be so wrong
- 19:58though. I'm just going to say that
- 20:01something kind of gets lost and or burns and then if it burns
- 20:06again. That's all good.
- 20:08Yeah, that's it. No, no, it's frost in front of
- 20:16you. Got happy.
- 20:17You're like. Oh, there I thought I had a
- 20:20cars. So bro Frost uses fire desire.
- 20:25So Frost uses fire and ice hate brackets hatred as a metaphor
- 20:31for self destruction. OK, so it's basically what I
- 20:35said. It's a chilling reminder that
- 20:40both passion and indifference can be equally dangerous.
- 20:45Oh, interesting. The poem is short, lyrical and
- 20:50philosophical, capturing how human emotions can be, can both
- 20:55build and destroy. Is it also hard to read top
- 20:59level or? I think this one's talking.
- 21:02Cox is either knocking any of that.
- 21:05Bro. I got none of that bro.
- 21:06I've honestly got from that. Shit, to be fair, I was pretty
- 21:08close. It was some kind of like battle.
- 21:11I was on the. Right part see this is how this
- 21:13is how pox action movie might like yeah Ultim Bourne
- 21:17Ultimatum, my movie. I just think fire, ice action,
- 21:20they're fighting, yeah. Well, because the other word
- 21:24that you said in that poem line was perish.
- 21:29Was it pearish? Yeah, Pearish.
- 21:30And that's why I just thought, you know what?
- 21:32Something's not going right here.
- 21:34Yeah. And it happened twice.
- 21:36It did. People are saying you got CTE.
- 21:41Hey, up the album twice. All right, I got one for you
- 21:47all. Right, let me lock him.
- 21:50I kept watering dead things, hoping they'll bloom from guilt.
- 21:56Is there more? That's it, short and sweet
- 22:00brother. Wait, I keep watering dead
- 22:02things hoping they would bloom from guilt.
- 22:05Oh like you're bro you got like a a ship or a boyfriend and
- 22:13you're trying to hope that you treat him good.
- 22:18That because he should treat you good.
- 22:23Because he should feel bad. That's pretty.
- 22:25It's pretty good bro. No, it isn't.
- 22:27That's pretty good. No, it's.
- 22:28Not it's not. Tricky bro, You actually, It's
- 22:30about relationships. I'm serious.
- 22:33Really. So this line speaks to holding
- 22:35on to broken relationships, toxic habits or painful
- 22:38memories. Not because they serve us, but
- 22:40because we feel responsible. It reflects emotional exhaustion
- 22:44from giving life to things that no longer grow.
- 22:48So toxic relationships. Yeah, like like friendships as
- 22:51well, whatever. Like, you know, they're, they're
- 22:54not the, they're not a good person and you're pouring into
- 22:57them hoping to get something back at least for the fact that
- 23:02like, you're a good person and they feel guilty that they
- 23:04should be a good person. Back to you all.
- 23:07Right, you're on the blood. I'm going to get to this.
- 23:09Yes bro. This one's a hard as one.
- 23:11OK, I have. I have eaten the plums that were
- 23:16in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast.
- 23:22Forgive me. They were delicious, so sweet
- 23:24and so, so cold. Why were they in an ice box in
- 23:29the 1st place? I don't get that.
- 23:32Do people put Peaches in the ice box?
- 23:34They were plums. Plums.
- 23:37Do people put plums in the ice box?
- 23:38What's an ice box? It's got to be in the freezer.
- 23:40Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, is.
- 23:41That what I'm talking about. Yeah, I think so.
- 23:45So why are they anyway? Get back to the story.
- 23:51You can't even eat it in the first place because it's frozen,
- 23:53am I right? So I.
- 23:57Don't know that this person's eating basically ice blocks off
- 24:00pretty much. But maybe that's what it's
- 24:02about. Maybe the plums weren't supposed
- 24:04to be in the freezer to start with.
- 24:07Why did you have them in the freezer when you're saving them
- 24:09for breakfast? That's why I ate them, yeah.
- 24:12That's kind of what I'm. Oh bro, I think it's about
- 24:15eating something. You so eating something that the
- 24:20other person wanted even though you knew they were going to have
- 24:24it the next, even though it wasn't nice, you know what I
- 24:27mean? Like you only did that to hurt
- 24:29that person. Out of despise.
- 24:31Yeah, like you didn't actually want that, but you only did it
- 24:37because that person wanted it. And like, you don't really feel
- 24:41sorry. You just like.
- 24:42OK, you know what that reminds me of?
- 24:44Leftovers. And take away leftovers that
- 24:47your siblings had brought home. Yeah, And I'm gonna eat it.
- 24:50I don't care what you say. I don't care if your name's on
- 24:52it. Yeah.
- 24:52Yeah. To my siblings.
- 24:54That was me. Would you put names on
- 24:56leftovers? Bro we everyone knew that's
- 24:59either my box or that's my sister's or my brother's box and
- 25:03no one was in. Touch.
- 25:04There must have been some thiefs if you had, if you were writing.
- 25:07Names writing names, but. OK, did I'll.
- 25:10I'll read that. So was.
- 25:10That kind of close. So oh bro, I might have to chose
- 25:17a bad one. This reads like a note left on
- 25:19the the fridge, but it becomes a meditation on guilt, pleasure,
- 25:23and the intimacy of everyday acts.
- 25:26It captures a quiet moment that feels deeply human and familiar,
- 25:30giving into temptation and seeking gentle forgiveness.
- 25:34That's Adam right there. Adam and Eve.
- 25:36Is it? Yep.
- 25:38What? So what?
- 25:39What does that mean? Well, Eve fell victim to the
- 25:41apple on the tree, and Adam fell victim to.
- 25:46Is that what Adam and Eve is about?
- 25:47Yeah, Adam and Eve, they ate the apple from the tree and that's
- 25:49when sin came into the world, supposedly.
- 25:52Sin. But why wouldn't they allow the
- 25:54apple? Because God said you are not to
- 25:56eat that any fruit from the tree.
- 25:59And who ate it? Even Adam.
- 26:01Both of them. Both of them Eve got it first
- 26:04and then but I thought. They were the first people
- 26:05alive. They were.
- 26:08Does this have anything to do with how everyone else came
- 26:11about after them? Basically that's why well.
- 26:13That's just how sin that's how. Sin entered the world.
- 26:16Yeah, that's basically what it's saying though.
- 26:20Yeah. OK.
- 26:20You're on. OK, All right.
- 26:23Really. Yep.
- 26:26Some scars don't bleed, they echo.
- 26:31Yeah, I get that. OK, so explain.
- 26:34That so so like bro, hurt people hurt people.
- 26:41That's what I that's how I hear it.
- 26:43So as a scar, I've obviously been hurt like I've I'm mean to
- 26:52my partner or whatever because I've been hurt in the past.
- 26:57So that's me echoing. If I was bleeding I'd be crying
- 26:59about it, but I'm repeating the cycle kind of thing.
- 27:05Bro you're actually pretty much on the money with that one.
- 27:07Because you mentioned the past, I'm going to give it to you.
- 27:10Not all wounds are physical. Some are emotional and they
- 27:14resurface and echoes through triggers, dreams, or choices we
- 27:18can't explain. This line reflects how past pain
- 27:21can reverberate through the present, silently but powerfully
- 27:27powerful. Damn, we're actually better than
- 27:29we. Thought I'm kind of struggling.
- 27:31It's just the read. It's the reading that time.
- 27:34It's the really, it's the understanding for me.
- 27:38Oh, OK. The last.
- 27:39This is the one here. It's called the red.
- 27:41Red wheelbarrow. So much depends upon a red
- 27:45wheelbarrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens.
- 27:51I read like that because it's like, you know how they do that
- 27:53thing? It's like a haiku.
- 27:55I don't know, something, you know, they got.
- 27:56It's like that. Say it again because.
- 28:00So much depends. All I had was chicken.
- 28:03It wasn't. It so much depends upon a red
- 28:06wheelbarrow. Glazed.
- 28:09Wait, a red wheelbarrow? Yeah, a red wheelbarrow, bro.
- 28:14These tongue twisters all oh. Bro that's twice.
- 28:17Just let. Me start again.
- 28:18So much depends upon a red wheelbarrow glazed with rain
- 28:23water beside the white chickens. Oh, that's hard.
- 28:29I don't. Even I don't get that at all.
- 28:31So. So much depends upon a red
- 28:34wheelbarrow. So what is that?
- 28:36What's that for? I've no idea.
- 28:42I've no idea. But what I think is red
- 28:44wheelbarrow, if it was in the field, it would just stick out.
- 28:47OK, so it's something that's sticking out in the field glazed
- 28:51with rain water beside the white chickens.
- 28:55So much depends. Is it because if a chicken's
- 28:59next to it you can see it? I feel like it's just like
- 29:04nothing. I don't get it.
- 29:05That doesn't make sense. It has to just be like.
- 29:08I just don't understand. Yeah, I don't get it.
- 29:11Bro I reckon that means like nothing matters.
- 29:16All right, reveal the answer then bro.
- 29:20The minimalist poem emphasizes how ordinary things like red
- 29:23wheelbarrow hold quiet importance in daily life.
- 29:27It challenges readers to see beauty and value in mundane.
- 29:31That kind of makes sense. It's about presence, attention,
- 29:35and the hidden weight of simple things.
- 29:37So. Why do I have to so?
- 29:39It's the opposite of nothing matters.
- 29:40Everything matters, you know. It's.
- 29:44Like this so much depends on the red wheelbarrow glaze of water.
- 29:48Like just a nothing object sitting in the field with the
- 29:53beside the white chicken. Like a little wholesome thingy
- 29:55happening. That's how I see it, yeah.
- 29:58Pretty pretty dumb. Pretty stupid though.
- 29:59Yeah, it it that frustrates it that Do you know what's?
- 30:03Frustrating about there is you have to think so hard for that.
- 30:09Like, why can't they just say it?
- 30:11It's like, I don't like how they want me to do the thinking.
- 30:13It's like Kendrick Lamar lessness.
- 30:15They want you to do the thinking.
- 30:16They want to do the thinking for him when he just writes
- 30:18something stupid on the page. And they're like, no, no, no, he
- 30:21actually meant by backing our ancestors.
- 30:23And when they brought it forward, it was all good.
- 30:24Like no, I don't know how I made it about.
- 30:29The beef? Well, this all led to the poetry
- 30:34or poem that Andy and Maddie had shared with me in Fiji.
- 30:39All right, so I want to get your take on this one here, OK?
- 30:42It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at
- 30:47all. Who said?
- 30:52I've heard the first who, who put The Who said part on it.
- 30:55What do you mean? I've heard that first part, But
- 30:58what does who said mean? OK, never to have loved and lost
- 31:03and never to loved at all. Yeah.
- 31:06So like, you've better to have loved because it's better to put
- 31:10yourself out there and love someone and maybe maybe enjoy
- 31:14love rather than live your life safe.
- 31:19But then The Who said part is because someone who had done it
- 31:30is saying that. Who said oh bro, it just that
- 31:36comes from a different perspective.
- 31:37I'm not ready for, I don't know. See look, I've read this again
- 31:41and I still get confused by it bro.
- 31:43Who said that? Never to love to have lost.
- 31:45Who said that? So it's saying like why can't?
- 31:49Why did I need to lose? No, but I don't know.
- 31:53I'm lost. I'm lost.
- 31:54Just tell me bro. What does it mean?
- 31:56So someone else might have another viewpoint, but from what
- 32:03I've gathered and what Andy and Maddie have shared with me, this
- 32:06has helped me understand it. We would guess that rather than
- 32:09experience love, the heartbroken person would rather not
- 32:14experience love at all because it is too painful.
- 32:19So this has been written. By someone who's hurt, being
- 32:23hurt and they said who said why do I need to feel that that
- 32:27makes sense? Does it a little bit.
- 32:30I kind of get it, but then I don't.
- 32:32I really struggle with poetry, bro.
- 32:33I don't know what it is because you're a literal.
- 32:37You're a literal thinker and autistic.
- 32:39That's what they. Said right, that's what they
- 32:41literally said. They said you might be on the
- 32:42spectrum here. You're too logical.
- 32:45That's where I get with this. Oh bro, I don't know.
- 32:51Who said? Yeah, that's right, Hot take of
