Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Budapesta. This is a bonus episode. My name is Ben and I'm here at the beach. I've had a bit of a splash of a bout in the waves, but now I'm back on my towel, dozing in and out of sleep in the pleasant warmth of the sun, occasionally sitting up to take a sip of a coldish beer and look at the sea. A safe, 1.5 meters away from me, reading a nice book in the shade of a Hello Kitty umbrella, it's Lucy. Oh, come on. Come on.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Am I wearing a Lolita dress? Yeah, you're absolutely. I was just going to leave that up to the imagination of the audience, of course. I hope you've got some screen up. Gothic Lolita, you're wearing the big chunky weird shoes and everything. Oh no. I dated a girl in high school that was into doing that stuff. It's a lot. It's just like, she'd get like these weird Victorian. Oh, I guess they're not Victorian.
Starting point is 00:01:17 They're somewhat, yeah, I know what you mean. Whatever they are. There's some specific time period, I don't fucking care, but she'd wear like the shoes, she'd have an umbrella and shit. And this is in like, Harvey Bay, this is in regional Queensland. She's like, just walking around town, fucking, yeah, it's very strange. I just love seeing that kind of aesthetic in a very hot climate. Oh my god, it must be very strange girl. She's a very strange girl. I'm sure she's listening. Yeah, absolutely she's.
Starting point is 00:01:47 No, she's definitely not a subscriber, it's fine. She, like, went extremely Christian after we broke up and then ended up marrying another extremely Christian dude. They didn't ever spend time together alone before they got married, to avoid the temptation of fucking. Wow. And her extremely wholesome bridal shower, which was obviously a booze and stripper-free, involved doing a bunch of challenges around South Bank, such as going up to a bird and singing at it like a Disney princess. I hate this so much. Yeah, I, uh, this is a lovely person, but, you know, I think, given the information
Starting point is 00:02:30 that I have now, uh, we certainly were incompatible. Sounds like she found her match, so that's nice. Yes, uh, I believe this guy's last name is also crab, which is very funny to me. Don't use this information to find out who this person is. It's a lot out there. Someone's going to be straight on Facebook figuring this out. I know what it would be. Other than the fact that I just started this episode by bitching about one of my exes, we're doing a nice episode. That's what we're trying to do today. That's what we're trying to do today. Everything sucks. Everything's very, very depressing. There's not really any escape from it because the things that you would normally turn to in times of trouble are largely unavailable to you.
Starting point is 00:03:16 So we are being as fundamentally nice as we can by just listing things that are nice. I like it. I think that's all that we can do. There is some nice news in the world such as stocks go down. That's true stonks have been going down and which means now I'm not a business person but I think that means it's time to buy. Because you want to buy low and then you... The plan is probably to sell high is what I... that I that make that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that that that that that that that that that that that that th that th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi that's that's that's that's thi that's that's low. And then you... The plan is probably to sell high is what I hear. That makes so much sense. Uh-huh. I assume that's the one thing they teach you that if you get like Bachelor in Business or whatever.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yeah. Day one, buy low, sell high. Day two, where are M Williams? They love that shit. And like tight, tight, sort of tanish brown pants with a tucked in collared shirt. It looked too small. Yeah, it's a... I mean, obviously they don't need a lot of mobility, because they're kind of just doing phone calls where they're yelling, buy and sell into the phone.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Or they're updating, they're linked in. So you know, not the the the tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie tie to tie a lot of legwork there. You can wear the tight pants you can wear the fitted blue blazer with the tan pants. There's always like a vaguely nautical element to it. Definitely. Not too formal but like to have a bit of fun but I'm also a man of the sea. Those are the things that I would like to convey to you. I'll start us off. This is the first nice thing I have in my list. I think a very nice thing is if you like, if you go for like an afternoon swim in water that's a little bit cold, and then you dry off and then there's a light breeze, but the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air the air them temperature them temperature them temperature them temperature them temperature is them temperature is a them temperature is a them temperature is a them temperature them temperature them temperature little bit cold and then you dry off and then there's a light breeze but the air temperature is about skin temperature that's very
Starting point is 00:05:09 nice. That is nice I'll agree with that one that's nice. I mean I'm sure you're not swimming that much at all because you're kind of like an indoor kid that's right. Avoid it as much as possible living on a tropical island. I mean I'm I'm sure we've said th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th that that thus th th that thi thi the the. the. the. th. th. the. the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin. the. to the. to to theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I mean I'm sure we've said this other podcast before but how many times would you say you've been to the beach in the last year? Listen it's more than I would back home it's definitely four to five times. Oh that's not too bad. Yeah. I mean the water temperature would be. So it's kind of a nightmare it's kind of annoying. Waikiki is the worst. Don't plan on going there any time in the near future. It's probably quite nice right now. Tourism's down. That's some good news over here.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That's something nice. Are they closing the beaches? Like they've done with Bondi and stuff? Um, I don't think so. I've definitely seen some pictures from there, they're very empty, but I don't think they're necessarily closing them. It's difficult to close them. A lot of them are just like unmanned type places. Maybe Waikiki beaches closed, but hotels are losing money. That's some good news.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yep. At least we can take them down while we're at it. When society reforms, we'll do it without them. That's right. Speaking of nice things in the summertime, how good is a really hot day and your first sip of an ice cold beer? I was going to put that on my list and then didn't, which is not a criticism of you putting it on your list, but... I thought it might be a little hack, but you know it's such a good one though. There's like a weirdly, and I don't know if this is a chemical thing or purely an emotional thing, but there is like a small rush that definitely comes from just that first sip. It's a million times better than all the other ones. Even though I know it's not
Starting point is 00:06:53 hydrating me when you're very thirsty, sipping on a cold beer, oh it's so good. Well look, beer is, you know, 90% water so this I'm no scientist but surely please don't quite be on this yeah that's always a fucking treat I love that one I think like there was something real nice it works better with shit beer as well I think like there's something extremely satisfying about just getting like a pint of a beer that doesn't taste like a lot like anything. That one's always super good. It's a V beer for me for sure. It's got to be something crisp. You don't want a craft beer for this. No certainly not. That's you're never going to get what you want there from like a double IPA. No one's being like, ah yeah the first sip of this Belgian triple after a long day. This Chipotlo chili stout is really quenching my first.
Starting point is 00:07:49 God, I hate it. It's still so trendy in America, the whole craft beer business. This is kind of like my whole life, largely the two venues I work at both. Yeah, right. But like, the thing is that everyone I know that works in Craft Beer is absolutely sick to death of talking about Craft Beer. Like selling it is fine, drinking it is nice, getting in nice ones, very good, but like you'll still get, there's a specific sort of punter that will come in and just really want to have
Starting point is 00:08:19 like a five minute chat about the beer and you're just like, it's just good. Just be like, oh, this is quite nice and they walk away like I'm very happy for you you're on a flavor journey right now I bet you're having a wonderful time using untapped or whatever the app is called where you'd track all the beers you have but like just just enjoy it just enjoy it just drink it to wine too just have a just drink it I mean you're literally doing it online wine tasting course at the moment. I sure am. I want to appreciate it, but
Starting point is 00:08:53 then I also have a glass here of a fine boxed, I believe it is a Vela brand boxed wine. It cost $18 for 5 liters. It's quite nice. I'm swirling it around by the stem. I'm looking at the legs on it. It's quite nice. How's the body on that bad boy? It's definitely a medium body. I will say that. I just don't know. I'm so shit about wine. And I just thought that like at some point in my adult life, it would come to me, you know, that you'd eventually you just get to a point where, oh, you know, I've been drinking wine for so long now I do kind of know a little bit about it. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:38 And like, no, I definitely appreciate a more expensive wine than I used to, but that's about it. I have like a really... Every now and then I'm like, oh, it's all fucking nonsense. And then, like, two days ago, I had bought a bunch of bottles of wine just to have in the house. And like, most of them were stuff that I knew that I liked because I bought it before. And then I was like, you know what, that how bad can it be and it just tasted like absolute piss and then one of my friends had dropped in last night When he was drunk With a bottle of wine in hand that still had $32 written on the bottle in like markup. Wow I was like oh shit and it was fucking amazing. I was like god damn mines do taste different fuck fuck I fucked up so bad. It's they certainly do? They certainly, they?? th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tasu thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tas, tas, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like ta, like ta, like ta, like ta, like ta, like ta, like ta, like ta, like tasta, like tastastastasu tasu tasu tasu tasu- absolute tasu-pi's a tasu-a' a tasu-a' tasu-pia' tasu-pi. a tasu was fucking amazing. I was like, God damn, mine's do taste different.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Fuck, I fucked up so bad. It's true. They certainly do. Unfortunately that it's true, but you know. There's, you know, something slipped through the cracks. Friend of the show, my friend, Sean two-liter, the cask one. It's like 20 bucks for two liters I think and it is fucking sensational. It is pretty good. Tasty as fuck wine. I should have just bought a bunch of those instead of some bottles of
Starting point is 00:10:55 wine I fucked up I think. Yeah I'm just getting overrun with bottles here. Because you know it's fine to drink more often than you would right now. That's How I'm viewing things. Yeah I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is, th is th is th is like, th is like, th is like, th is like, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thii, thiiii, thiiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi to drink more often than you would right now. That's how I'm viewing things. Yeah, I think it's, like, I, because I've been working for home for a long time now, but like, at least there was some structure to my life before, where, like, when I was working pedestrian, I would try not to drink the three days a week that I was doing pedestrian. Monday, Tuesdays, to Sunday, a tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha thi absolute thi. A th, Wednesday, no booze. Thursday to Sunday, absolute chaos. But like having just that little bit and then making times where it was acceptable for me to drink and generally had stuff to do during the days, I had places to go so I'd be driving maybe, so I wasn't doing that. And now I'm just like, well it's 10 a.m. I don't even know what day it is. It's airport rules out here. the the the the there. there. there. the there. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be. It's to be.

Starting point is 00:11:45 It's airport rules out here. Drink whenever. It's airport rules everywhere. Fucking burger at 10 a.m. doesn't matter anymore. Just like, wake up, have a beer and a vape. Look around the house aimlessly. I'm finally gotten George into gaming.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Oh, really? And it, took was Animal Crossing. Like, she's just, I think, like a morally better person than I am, so doesn't like use her time to just sit on a couch looking disgusting in front of a video game for hours and on end the same way that I will occasionally do. And then yesterday she's like started playing Animal Crossing. I don't really get this. And then, this morning I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was th, I was th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she's, she's, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi's, thi's, thi, thi's, thi, thi, occasionally do. And then yesterday she started playing Animal Crossing. I was like, I don't really get this. And then this morning I was woken up at Lake 7 by the sound of a switch controller joystick moving right near my head because she had brought it into bed and started playing it again.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Oh God, I want Animal Crossing. I've never played it. But everyone's enjoying it and it makes me feel jealous. I have the the the th th th the tho tho th tho thine thine thine thine thine their thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. I thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I've thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I thi. I thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thee. I'm thei. I'm just just just just just theiiiiiiiiiiiole. I'm theiioloue. I'm the. I'm thi. I thi. I have, I usually never buy new release games because they cost a fortune. And I've never played an animal crossing game before because they looked boring to me. But every single person I know is playing it at the moment and they're all like going to each other's little islands and stuff. I know, I feel so left out.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Yeah, it's like a nice little bit of community that they're all doing. I'm like, uh, all right, fuck it. Really is a very nice time for it. For that to be the thing everyone's doing right now. Mm-hmm. Love it. I'm playing Animal Crossing and Doom and that's, it's all they're doing. Yep, pretty much. I'm gonna say another nice thing here. A nice thing is when a dog that you've never met before seems. thia thia thia thia thia thia, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, like, like like, like, like, like, like like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi. thi. that you've never met before seems to like you, like especially more than like if you're with a group of people or if the owners like, oh weird, usually they don't like strangers.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah, how fucking rewarding is that? It's so rewarding. We dogs it for someone on the island here quite often and I asked them why Ponya, the little little ducks and keeps humping me and apparently she never does that she hasn't done that in a long time hasn't done that in years every time I see her she's very very vigorous with the humping me so I don't know if that feels nice or unpleasant I mean it's definitely a sign that they like you I guess so I guess it's a compliment But I mean that also feels like with the same tone have been like no that guy's just sexually harass you because he likes you
Starting point is 00:14:12 It's a compliment. Yeah, but yeah, it's no different rules apply. Yeah, she's just excited. She just thinks I'm her girlfriend. That's fine. Yeah, that's you know days, you gotta take love where you can find it. That's right. There's something about dogs where it seems like they have some sort of like, you know, there's probably completely arbitrary sort of internal mechanisms inside a little dog brain where like the ones and zeros in their thing or whatever are flipping randomly, based on like smell and color and shape or whatever, but it feels kind of like they are seeing through you with an extreme spiritual clarity. Like the dog has seen your soul, it just been like, you are good. It's true, they're great judges of character.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I choose to believe that that's what's happening. Not cats. Terrible creatures. Well, I mean, how would you even know if a cat liked you? I said no one of my friends cats... Sorry no I this is me reflexively being mean to cat owners and cats but one of my friends cats does this where so far the pattern has been that this cat Momo hates all men except men that are called Ben so there's like three or four bends that are called Ben. So there's like three or four Ben's that this cat is regularly interacting with because my social circle is extraordinarily full of Ben's
Starting point is 00:15:33 for some reason. It's pretty weird. Okay. Yeah, it's quite odd. There's a lot of us. But yeah, this cat just loves Ben's. I like went in one day and they were like, oh, just to try and pat the cat. And they were like, oh, it it it it it it's the cat, it's the cat, it's the cat, it's the cat, the cat, the cat was liked, the cat was like, the cat was like, the cat was to try and pet the cat, and they were like, oh, just be careful, it doesn't really like men. Just like the cat was very warm and friendly to me. Maybe it's the Ben rule. Nominal determinism thing, maybe you're a certain kind of guy because you were born a Ben. Oh, I love that. Like you reckon it's fostered certain personality traits. Ben Energy. Oh, I love that. That's a wonderful theory.
Starting point is 00:16:06 For sure. Wait, what's your degree in again? Philosophy? Yeah, there we go. That's it. Yep, that's it. So I've got my list of nice things here, and I'm going to be honest. A lot of them are plane related.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Pff. Just about the whole airport airport, which I'm really missing. I was meant to be catching a plane to Australia yesterday. Not happening, obviously. When you say you are missing the airport experience, are you missing it because it means that you're obviously not seeing the friends and family to catch up with, or you're missing it because you enjoy the airport experience? There's obviously the seeing your friends and family, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, which, the experience, the experience, the experience, the experience, the experience, which, the experience, the airport experience. There's obviously the seeing your friends and family at the end, but there's the first
Starting point is 00:16:46 enjoyable experience, which is plain. Wow, deeply troubling. I mean, don't you like having a drink at the airport? Oh yeah, that's nice. I like going to the, I mean, obviously you won't be familiar with the intricacies of the Brisbane domestic terminal. But there's a weird little little little the the the the the the the the the shit the shit the shit th, th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thiol, thi, thiol-a, thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, the first, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th. That's, th. That's, th. It's, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-a, thi, thi, thi's, thi's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thinal. No, not personally. There's a weird little offshoot from the domestic terminal that is just where all the shit airlines fly out of, which is obviously the only ones I can afford. And there's a really terrible, it's a double cafe bar. So it's staffed by one person but they
Starting point is 00:17:18 can walk to the bar side then threw a little door over the cafe side depending on how it's doing. But for some reason they have tins of Newstead, like four or five of them, which is like a brewery that my friend owns, tucked away in the bottom one of the fridges. So you just go there and I'll be like, hey, I have one of those, you sit there, you do a little people watch. You wait for your shitty flight. Got your laptop, your browsing, your people watching, you can see planes, you can hear planes. Civ-4 on my laptop last time I was there, it was great. Oh, that sounds nice. It was a lovely time. But what is it that thrills you about the airport experience? Well you get to see planes up close and they're magnificent machines. Airport, one of the top 10 places to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th places the the the th places of the top 10 places to see planes. Certainly one of the easiest places to see a plane up close. You can
Starting point is 00:18:10 watch them take off if you can sit somewhere where you can watch a plane take off. Oh it's beautiful. It's beautiful and then you get on the plane and I'm going to say it. I like the airplane food. Okay I mean I don't hate airplane food. You're vegetarian as well right. So you I'm I I I'm I'm I'm. the. the, I. the, I'm. Yeah. the, I'm. Yeah. Yeah. the, I'm the, I'm th. Yeah. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the the thi. thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. thea. thea. thea. C. theasea. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. C. tea. C. C. C. tea. the the don't hate airplane food. You're vegetarian as well right? So you get... I am now, yeah. Yeah. So one thing I quite like is that if you select the vegetarian option in advance, you get your food. You are going to get a better food. you get it like 10 minutes before everyone else as well. You sure do. It's a little life hack for you. If you don't mind eating a plant-based meal, you get served your dinner early. It's normally something good too.
Starting point is 00:18:48 It's normally like a spinach pasta or something or something. It's normally delicious. Oh, a little curry. Mmm, so good. I just love the little experience. I love putting on a movie, I've got my blanket on. Someone's just bringing me a tray full of food. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thin, to, thin, to, to, to, to, thin, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thin', to, to, to, toa, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the to, the to, to, the to, to, the the to, their, their, their, their, their, thin. their, their, thin. their, their, thin, thin, the thin, tooof, tooomorrow, toa. tooomorrow, to to to to to toa. to toa. toa. tray full of food. I don't have to think about anything, bringing me my wine. If you're flying internationally from Australia, you're going to have as much wine as you like. 100%? That's a treat. Oh man, the first time I realize that you get like free wine on Quantis flights. Oh God. Which, because I never get them, but if I have them booked for me for like a work thing or whatever and I'm just like, holy shit, I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going I'm going to have thi. I'm going to have to have to have to have to have to have thi. I'm going to have to have to have to have to have thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. th. I'm their. their. the booked for me for a work thing or whatever, and I'm just like, holy shit, I'm going to have five red wines on this 45 minute flight to Sydney.
Starting point is 00:19:28 So good. I flew business class once because I had points for a free flight and it was like negligible the difference between business class and regular. This was just from Melbourne to Sydney. So it was less than an hour flight. And it was such a ride. I drank an entire tha. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm a th. I'm a th. I'm th. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I. I. I. I, I. I. I, I, I. I. I, I. I'm, I. th. I'm, I'm, I. th. th. th. th. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. the. I'm th. I the. I th. I drank an entire bottle of wine. Because basically, they remember your name. They ask you what you want to drink up front. And then the flight attendant will come back and be like, Miss Valentine, would you like a top up?
Starting point is 00:19:54 And he just has the bottle of wine there. And he just keeps on coming. They just keep on coming. You get a drink before you take off. You get a little champagne or a little orange juice, get whatever food you like, they're living a whole different life in there. I like every time I walk past the exclusive sections of the aircraft, like to file through to my extremely shitty seat at the back of the plane, like especially for international flights where I'm like doing the maths on like how much leg room they've got and like, oh so when that folds down, they're lying like almost perfectly horizontal it. Oh my fucking God, I'm so jealous.
Starting point is 00:20:27 I hate like international flights because I'm not like crazy tall but I'm like a big-ish person. I'm in physical pain. I feel like men are in general having a worse time on flight like room wise at any time. There's no comfortable way to sit. It's, I can't sleep on plane so I just like like the the their their their their their their their their their th. their their their th. th. their th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm like, th. I'm like, thathe thi. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the thin. I'm like, the to. I'm like, to. I'm like, to. I'm like, to. I'm like, to-s. I'm like, toomorrow. I'm I can't sleep on planes, so I just like get drunk and take prescription medication. Me too. And still can't sleep and then feel terrible. Oh man, I've said this on the podcast before, but the fucking, I think I was flying back from the states maybe and like took two Xanax and drank like a couple of scotches and then still couldn't sleep so I was just losing my mind and watching Coco and just crying my eyes out for the
Starting point is 00:21:11 whole thing. The poor person sitting next to me, but I just be like what the fuck is happening to this person? Oh God. Oh boy. So was being at the airport and seeing planes take off the nice thing from your list there? Yeah, just thinking about all the things can't do right now. It's making me feel sad.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I'm so sorry. Oh boy. Only planes I've been seeing are like the military Ospreys flying over. She's really unsettling. Because we live, like, because of Pearl Harbor, they're always doing exercises and stuff. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, oh, oh, oh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, oh, oh, oh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thiii. thiiiiii. thii. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, they're always doing exercises and stuff. So that's the only plane I've seen this week. Yeah, right, yeah, that is creepy. It's pretty creepy. We had a helicopter flying over our house the other day, which is like nothing, right? It's not, we're not in lockdown.
Starting point is 00:21:55 It's not a police helicopter, it's not anything. I just couldn't figure out what it was. over a house for like 20 minutes and the whole time I'm like this is probably some dumb traffic copter shit or whatever but also a part of my brain that's just like well this is the end times something horrible is happening is the last time this happened when they were helicopters flying over our neighborhood it's because they were too armed gun gunman held up in a house just around the corner oh great So that was very unsettling. No aircraft over my house please. Like not within a couple of hundred meters. It's pretty unsettling. Especially when your windows are shaken. It's not a nice feeling. Don't love it. Yeah that's unpleasant. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Like the people in the helicopters have to know how loud they're being. Come on, don't be a nuisance. Have you been in a helicopter before? I have been in a helicopter. When my relatives came over, because I used to live at Philip Island, down the bottom of Victoria, they do scenic flights over the island, so one of my relatives came over from England and she bought us a little scenic helicopter flight, which was nice. Your pilot's always always like a fucking 18-year-old guy. Anytime you go in a helicopter, it's like the youngest man you've ever seen flying the plane. I don't like helicopters, they don't trust him. But it was, it was nice.
Starting point is 00:23:15 The, uh, the, like, the helicopter flights I got because of that work thing where I got to go out to that island on the reef. Right. The pilot was like a middle-aged British guy, but the other pilot from that company was like a 19-year-old dude. It's just like, oh man, I wouldn't even trust you to drive a car. Oh my, fuck. They're either 19 or 50. It's the only two helicopter pilots you've got. The only other time I've been thinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkeded. the the the one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one one. thi. the the thi. I was the the the the thi. I was the only. I was the only. I was the only. I was the only. I was the only. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.

I was the the the the the the the the the the the the only only one. I'm the only one. I'm the only one. I'm the only one. I was the only one. I was the only one. I was the only one. a fun time. We've been skydiving? No, and I would never ever will.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I thought I never would and then I made a rash decision when I was in New Zealand and I just went and did it. And I didn't really think about it until my legs were just like out of the helicopter. Oh, oh god. It's nice, but it's also not nice. Somehow for me doing it out of a helicopter seems worse than doing it out of a plane, and I can't justify that in any way. Like how high is a helicopter going? Oh, maybe it was a plane. I guess it was a plane. It was just a very small plane.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It was a tiny plane. So, your first time you have to do it tandem, right? You strapped the the the the the to strap strapped to strap to a the the the the the tha tha th. It was a th. It was a th. It was a th. It was a th. It was a thae. It was a thauice. It was a thauice. It was a thauice. It's a thauil. It was a thae. It's justa. thaa. thaa. thaa. thaa. thaa. than. than. It's, than. It's, than. It's, than. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's a tiny. It's a tiny. It's a ta. It's a ta. It's a ta. It's a ta. It's a ta. It's a ta. It's justa. It's a tiny. It's justa. It's a tiny. It's a tiny. It's a tiny. It's a tiny plane. But so your first time you have to do it tandem right like you strapped to an instructor? Strap to a man. He was an extremely large man I assume they balance out the weights because I was like the smallest in the group and they put me with this giant of a man. Oh I mean that does make sense kind of. Yeah it's very uncomfortable there and you're sitting there in the plane and he's just like strapping you onto his body. It's very intimate experience. I think that might actually be the thing that turns me off the most. Like if someone told me, like, that I had to do it by myself, I think I would be happier. Just, it's a very personal experience I think, like, you know, it's completely shaking up our relationship to the ground entirely. We would never meant to be that high above it,
Starting point is 00:25:08 not on some sort of mountain. You know, like, yeah, I feel like it would be, was it a vaguely emotional experience? Or just like, he's just screaming, woohoo all the way down. It definitely wasn't a woohoo, it was definitely, I don't really feel scared of things until they're actually happening, so I wasn't like psyching myself up. People were getting really nervous in the plane, I was fine, and then once you're like dangling your legs out the side and you're about to jump, definitely an emotional experience.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Oh man, that's terrifying. Have you been, uh, what's the other one? Bung, have you done that? No, I don't like the idea of it. You fight with a doubt, not so much with the up. I feel like the back up. If something fucks up when you're skydiving, you're just going to die. Right? You're just going to spl a good time with it. I'm pretty sure there was a thing from like a
Starting point is 00:26:05 couple of years ago that was one of those like either they didn't anticipate how much the person weighed or they let the line out too long and they just like hit the ground at the bottom. Yeah. You don't want that. That's a no thank you for me. Also imagine if you get like severely injured and then the next five minutes of your life are you just going like back up and down on this thing getting jostled around? Just broken bones just swinging around bouncing up and down. Yeah no thanks. Oh boy. Skydiving's good though I do recommend it. Check out skydiving if you can. Mm-hmm. I got a nice thing here. I think it's very nice when you're genuinely surprised by how good something you cooked tastes. Like- Oh god it's so good. You know like when you thought it was going to be nice but then you have like a bit of it and you're just like
Starting point is 00:27:02 holy fuck this is so good. Mm-hmm. That's best. And you know it's like, your taste in this is objective. You can't lie to yourself about it being good. That's true. You just like, oh, the task. theypast.
Starting point is 00:27:15 to you thee you're good, man, maybe I am alright at this. This is fucking wonderful. I love that for you. I hate cooking. Now it's, I love it. Now I live for it. I think the first good night I've had so far, after I had a string of very bad nights in a row, just like mental health-wise, it was just like I put some music on in the kitchen and I just cooked dinner and I was just like, oh, th...... thii, th. th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, thi, thi, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm just, I'm, I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm just, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I the first, I the first, I the first, I the first, I the first, I the first, I the first, I the first, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm the the the the the the the th. th. th. th th th thi. th the first, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm the first, I'm just, I'm the first, I'm the first, oh, this is good. Like, this is something that I enjoy doing. It's something where I feel I have complete control over my domain. And it's also kind of normal. Like, this is just what I normally do.
Starting point is 00:27:52 And it felt really fucking lovely. I used to never understand why people said that cooking was like relaxing and calming. So I used to find it really stressful. I thiiii, thi, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I'm thi, thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and it's thi, and it's thi, and it's th, and it's, and it's, and it's, and it's the the th, and it's the the the the the the the the their, and it's their, and it's their, and it's their, and it's their, their, their, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi.. thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii's also also also kind thi. thiii's also also kind thi. thi, thi, thi just don't know how to cook it and you have to follow a recipe and it is stressful and it sucks. Once you learn to just get some basic cooking techniques down, God, it's the best. I love being in the kitchen. It's real nice. I think there's a step definitely in your brain where like you do everything enough where
Starting point is 00:28:14 you do everything enough that you know what it looks like to fuck up or on its way to fucking up or whatever, where you can just adjust. You're just doing little adjustments all the time. So there's no point throughout the process where you're like, oh fuck I fuck this up, you're just like, oh turn that heat down a little, turn that heat back up. It's like quite blissful because you're just looking after all these little elements and all comes together something nice and then you get to make other people happy. Exactly. Which is real fucking good. It's so good. I like seeing how many people are learning to cook and experimenting and trying new things while we're all stuck at home. It's quite pleasant. Someone who like, usually I would describe the one twee asks as maybe an extreme irony
Starting point is 00:28:58 poster like never done anything sincere in their whole life, did an extraordinarily long thread about a five-hour process for cooking, I think, French onion soup, that looked incredible. And they were just like talking through all of the steps of being like, well, I'm doing it this way, because it'll bring up more of this flavor. You can cheat doing it this way. We could stop the process now, but this is why I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I'm think I'm think I'm think I'm think think think tho that, that, that, that, that, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, that, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thr. thrown, thrown, throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooan, th process now, but this is why I'm going to do it for a while or whatever, and it was just so lovely. It was like 60 tweets long and I went
Starting point is 00:29:27 through meticulously like favoriting every single one of them just be like, yes, hell yes. Sincereties! Sincereties! Sincere is the time for it. I just like, you know, you'll see a joke or something, you'll be like, no, no, not funny enough. And then I see anyone doing anything vaguely sincere about, I just read a good book, or I just cooked a delicious meal, I'm like, take it. Especially when it's someone who doesn't normally post like that. Oh, the best. So good. There is, as much as it is extraordinarily fun trying to tear people down to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tie to to to tie to to to do to do the the the tooom people trying to tear people down all day, it's really nice just seeing people try and do nice things.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I like that. Not the level of lifting each other up. We don't want to do that. That's too far. Oh, God no. But it's all stayed neutral here. Yes, exactly. Have you got another nice thing there? What have I got here? I got a question.
Starting point is 00:30:26 What's your favorite thing, food, drink, etc, when you're really hungover? Oh. That's a wonderful question. What's your ideal if you can have absolutely anything you wanted? Oh. Oh. I struggle... So, probably like a filthy burger, I think, because I really, I can't handle,
Starting point is 00:30:51 I need solid ingredients. I cannot have anything with like eggs in it when I'm hungover because, and I'm assuming this is like a, this is a chronic hangover, like an extremely bad one, like life on the line hangover. I need like the greasiest thing possible but mostly bread. Yes, same. So like just, you know, if I was eating meat it would be probably a double quarter pounder. That would probably save my entire life. I can't do it. I mean I don't need meat meat anymore, but just like the burger thing when I'm hung over it's not for me. It's too much what are you? What are you looking at? My idea which I can't get anymore is a
Starting point is 00:31:32 cheesy mind scroll from Baker's Delight. Oh fuck man I eat like four cheesy might scrolls a week I reckon because because so much I used to eat them almost every day there There's a Brumbies in between, which is basically Baker's Delight, right? It's in between me and the bar. So like, every time I walk past I'm like, I reckon I can maybe spare four bucks 20 for a cheesy-mode scroll. They're just so good. I think Brambies is like a lower tier B's Delight, but they have better pies and pasties. Oh, is it true? I've, it's my, it's my Brambles' opinion. I've explored their hot pastries selection.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I'm kind of, yeah, I'm sticking with a classic. I'm a real cheese, mine squirrel guy. So good that, and like McDonald's orange juice, which I don't know what it is. It's certainly not orange juice. It's so good th're hungover. It's probably 90% water and it costs more than a soda, but it's delicious. Yeah, they are pretty good actually. I'm a huge fan of a solo or a lift as a hangover cure. Me too. I don't normally drink, soft drink, but when I'm hung over, like a lemon-based soda? Mmm. Sorry for saying soda, please don't yell at me. That's fine. A pop. We had, good lord. We had a friend of our staying with us from the US for the last week.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Like he just went home a couple of days ago. And it was just like, you know that weird thing in your head where you're like, should I say it the way that he would be thaaaaa, thiiii, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to, to to, to, to, to, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, thin, thi, to to thin, to to tooooooooooooooooi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, should I say it the way that he would be used to hearing it so that he knows what I'm talking about or is that patronizing? Exactly. So, like when I'm over in the States I will never compromise. I'm never calling anything by what an American would call it, even if I know it means they'll be like, what? Yeah. I can't do it. It just sound so insincere. It does. The one thing I've on is red pepper instead of capsicum. That's fair enough. I mean, they're not going to be like, oh, of course. It's the Latin name for the bell pepper, so I will... That's a fair enough one. Just at Subway trying to order my capsicum and. How are you feeling about oregano and basil at this point? I'm not compromising, I'm not going to say basil because it sounds fucking stupid. Yeah, that's the
Starting point is 00:33:52 worst one. The one thing that's fine is the cilantro and coriannanda because obviously they get the name from like Mexican food which is cilantro and we get it probably more from Thai food, which is why it's called coriander. It makes sense. I'll call it cilantro. I assume that's why we call it what we do call it. I mean, let's never look this up, but that sounds like a very plausible explanation to me. Mm-hmm. I'm definitely not saying basil though. It sounds stupid. I think they call the seeds, right? They're not cilantro seeds. Yeah, look that's fair. I'll accept those compromises.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Have you, and you've settled on soda, you know, but like America is fractured on that as well, right? Yes, certainly. This is what I hear. It's pop or whatever it is. Also, I just think the word soft drink is hilarious. Where do we get that from? It is like so weirdly, like, c. Yeah, I hate realizing the things that we say that are that are fucking stupid, like the words that we have that are ridiculous. You never want that level of clarity ever. Are there any in particular where you're like, oh my god, I can't believe that?
Starting point is 00:34:57 So you know when you get a thing stuck on your shoe and it's like a spiky little circle like a plant thing that's spiky. I do yeah. What would you call that? I don't know what I would call that? I'd call that a bur maybe? Okay so I don't know if this is Victoria but I would call that a Bindy. Oh okay Sorry no. That's certainly one that as soon as it came out of my mouth. I'm a I'm thinking of a larger thing. But the, all the little one th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm thi.

I'm thinking of a larger thing, but the all right so Bindies for The little ones where it's just a spike with a little bit of leaf on the end right? Yeah Basically. Yeah, no, Bindies are still a we definitely have those my backyard is full of them It's one where I set it out loud and I regretted it immediately I fucking when I was a kid we had like in in one of our houses, we had a pool, which is fucking amazing.
Starting point is 00:35:51 But there was like, just a sea of bindies between the house and the pool, and I would just as a kid just be like, I don't know why I wouldn't just fucking put thongs on or something, but I'd be like, oh, if I just run across, it'll be less bad. Every single time, I'm just driving them straight into my feet with more force. Absolutely baffling decision from a young person. Terrible decision. Not a smart man.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Not a smart man, indeed. And nothing has changed since. Uh, what else you got over there? What else is nice? I have, sorry, I just got a text message where I was trying to determine whether this meant that I had just got the weed that I had bought. It's actually a record that I wanted. Either way, good news. Nice either way. Don't just call it the bounty to me in a text message. That's very mysterious I think a nice thing is
Starting point is 00:36:53 Waking up when you've like you've had a nap on a day Well, you didn't have much on you've got no time pressure. You didn't feel like you had anything to do you lie down. You have a little nap in the sun. Maybe you wake up feeling very rested, but also it went for shorter than you thought, you're like, oh, it's still only that time. That's amazing. Hmm. I love that feeling. I hate naps. I mean, I'm having a lot of naps. I'm having a lot of naps. Well, that's the problem with naps. They always get away from you. They certainly do. But now, you got nothing but ti. but time. What are we meant to do with all this time? I don't know. I feel like I should be bettering myself. Like, well I mean you're doing your wine tasting course, so you got that. That's right. There's such a stark divide between like everyone I know works in hospitality, right? And so they're all fucked. Like we're all out of work, got nothing but time. All we want to do is hang out, we can't, we're trapped inside.
Starting point is 00:37:50 My friends that did have jobs that were meant to be continuing, just got sacked. But then I know other people, like white collar workers, that are still just, well actually, Andrew and Theo, for instance. Still just working. They're still going to work to, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, time, th th to th th to th time, th time, to th time, th time th time th time thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, got thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. got nothing thi. thi, thi, thi, thi,, well actually, Andrew and Theo for instance, who still, yeah, they're still got work to do. And for me, obviously financial security is probably one of the most important things for your well-being, but also having to work through what feels like such a catastrophic crisis must be so stressful. It seems pretty terrible. I just can't imagine just seeing everything that's happening right now. We're all horrified, like looking at the fucking news and stuff,
Starting point is 00:38:30 like, just as things get stricter and stricter and we're taken away from all the things that would usually make us feel nice, and then having to fucking sucks with people you hate. In your house, to zoom chat with the people you hate. Can you imagine, I'm trying to think of when I did used to work in an office, if I was still working there having to wake up and get on a fucking video conference call with those people. God, there's a nightmare, right? Sounds like shit. You know, I'm glad for everyone that's still getting money, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be. to be. their. their. their. their. their. their their. to be to be their their. their. their.

I's still getting money at this time but like it's got money nice just like dealing with the same depression all of us dealing with but also just I'm like yes I've got to do that financial report now on the Smith case
Starting point is 00:39:20 I've got to get in there and I've got to open up this Excel spreadsheet and I've got to you know move I've got to shade all of these columns I don't I don't the the the's the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same same same same same same same same same same same same same same same the same the same the same the same the same the same s the same s the same s the same s the same s the same s the same s the same s the same s the same s the same the same the same the same the same the same the same s the same the same the same the same the same the same the same. sm. the same. the same. the. thee. theeeeeeeeeeeee. theeee. theeeeeee. theeeeeeeee. the same. the same. the same. the same. the same. there and I've got to open up this Excel spreadsheet and I've got a you know move I've got to shade all of these columns. I don't know that color is a bit too strong. Yes, I couldn't do it. I think I would completely fall apart if like 38 hours of my week I was being asked asked to act like there was absolutely nothing wrong. I think that's a recipe for insanity.

I'm mutting my microphone. What's that? You heard some loud sobs? Oh I didn't
Starting point is 00:39:59 I didn't mute the microphone. Let me have a second crack at that. Just screaming into a pillow. Yeah, it's a solidarity with you if you are someone who is being asked to do your dumb bullshit meaningless job although I did I tweeted a little bit about like sort of joking but not really about white collar jobs all being fake and the work not being real and then I had like a couple of people reply being like actually I worked for an NGO. It was a white collar job where we're literally saving people's lives. All right, we're not talking about you. All right, people who have inherently meaningful work, please ignore the
Starting point is 00:40:34 tweet and also all of my tweets because I'm not not dedicating what you do. Good on you if that's you. You know what good on you everyone, everyone's to to everyone's to to to to everyone's to to to to th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th. I's th.

Everyone is doing a great job, and especially people that have to physically go to their jobs. Holy fuck, yeah. That's terrifying. Our, like local IGA now has a, they're keeping maximum numbers of people inside the store, which obviously, everyone is supposed to be doing. But they've also got like a little station at the front, their, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, their, their, their, their, their inside the store, which obviously everyone is supposed to be doing, but they've also got like a little station at the front where you like walk in and they're basically someone is watching like a hawk as you wash your hands properly for a good 20 seconds, which is good, but also you just can't stop that level of exposure. These people that society like undervalues way more than everyone else, pays them way less than everyone else, works them way harder than everyone else, and now the front line at the being risk of getting this fucking horrible disease, virus, not disease, sorry.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yeah, you don't want science people yelling at us. No, please don't get the correction immediately after the thing that was wrong so that we don't get those like tweets and emails where people like, ah, you fucked this up and then later, sorry, I didn't get to the point where you... Yeah. Always wait until the end of the episode before you write in your correction or not. You know, whatever. We love to hear from you, so... Unless it's Andrew, in which case, he's, he's, he, he, he, he, th, th, th, th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get totalking and he's on a roll and I don't want to stop him. You can't stop him even if you try you can't stop him. Oh man he did a great one the other day
Starting point is 00:42:12 where he kept calling fucking... God what was he saying instead but in the part when we were talking about Chet Hanx he kept calling Chethanks the wrong name multiple times. Really? Throughout his spiel he called him a different last name a whole bunch of times. Wow. And I was just like oh we can't we can't correct him. But uh just let him go. Just watch him go. Go back and listen to the start of, I don't know what episode that was. But if you know it, listen to it, tell me if I'm if I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I to to to th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th to the start of, I don't know, whatever episode that was, but if you know it, listen to it, tell me if I'm crazy, because I swear to God that happened and I just didn't want it.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I feel like I just tune out sometimes. I'll just let it go. Just let it go. You know, you got another nice things? Or am I all out of nice things? Some of them are just basic nice things. Like when you find money in a pocket, oh god, isn't it so good? Especially when you're broke. Getting a really hard question right at trivia night.

Starting point is 00:44:11 kill cam on call of duty. Oh yeah that's a good one. Yeah, definitely when I'm sitting there and I'm like everyone is watching me, everyone is looking at how good I'm doing in reality I don't think I've ever watched a final kill cam. But I mean that's just you I'm sure everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone everyone their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th.

I'm doing. In reality, I don't think I've ever watched a final kill cam. But I mean, that's just you. I'm sure everybody else is watching them with rack attention. Yeah, everyone else is watching and being like, damn, she's fucking the best at this game. I, when I was like, terminally depressed, didn't have any way to live, didn't have a job, was like crashing on a friend's couch when I was 19. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I's couch when I was 19, I think maybe, I became insanely good at modern warfare too. Like all I did while he and his wife were working, I would spend nine hours online playing modern warfare too and I would like consistently like best kill death ratio, like most
Starting point is 00:45:04 kills, whatever, fucking nail it every single time. And I have never, ever been any good at any video game since then. Wow. It will never happen again. It's like the most depressed ever. I was like 19 and my boyfriend broke up with me. And it was one of those things where I was like heartbroken and I thought I wanted to die. You know how you only ever get heartbroken like that like just once? Mm-hmm. You have to be below a certain age. This just kind of happens. This is the worst feeling imaginable. And I want to be dead it will never go away and then I got one more for a two and thin. I like that we we we we like I like that we we like I like that we like that we like that we like that we like that we that we like that we like I that we that we have I that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have that we have like like that we have like like that we have that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to be like to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th.

And then it went away, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:46 I like that we have the same origin story. That's lovely. Yeah, it explains a lot. I think I had just been broken up with it at that point as well. Wow. Karina, goddain. Like, guess you throw anything. You can just really throw yourself into it. It's good because it's know, it's like a skinner box or whatever. You just keep pressing the thing and you're like, whoop, whoop, there it is. The game's done, it's going to give you
Starting point is 00:46:08 another one and it's the same thing again. And you can, you know, if you're so inclined, y'all racial slurs at the other 13-year-olds that are playing. Exactly. And that life is going bad you can just fall back on it. I've never, I can't bring myself to do the headset thing. You don't need to. No, but I mean I've got friends now. I just, I mean not to talk to strangers, but like if I was doing group stuff with friends, but I'm so embarrassed at the thought of like George walking past the living room and seeing me just going, ha! Yeah, nice one. No, no, no, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can th. I can, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I I I I, I I I th. I I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

I can't that, I can't that, I can't that, I can't that, I can't that, I can't, I can't, at the thought of like George walking past the living room and seeing me just going, ha ha, yeah, nice one. Oh, no, down by the, oh, oh, grenade, oh, look, that is so embarrassing to me. I'm just going to embrace the life. Like, this is the woman that is, you know, we've been together now for a bit over four years. She's seen the worst that thi th. That's still too bad for me. That's still too to love a bar. That is a bridge too far.
Starting point is 00:47:09 I just wanted to think of me with like just slightly more dignity than what that entails. Yeah, especially when you've got like, if you've got like a big headset on, you look like really fucking stupid. This king of the dorks. Yeah. And like, the headset plays into it a lot. When someone just pointed out to me that you can use like regular headphones that have a phone thing on them, I was like, oh, okay, that's way less embarrassing. Yeah, that's much less embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:47:39 It's more discreet for the discrete gentleman. Mm-hmm. I've got another nice thing here. What have you got? Uh, finishing a very good book and having just a little sit to reflect on the experience of having read that book. You know when you like, when an ending is like really big or satisfying, you just have to sit there for a little bit and just like kind of process it. It is nice. Even a film. Same thing with a film that was really affecting, you know. I feel like you can kind of gauge how much the emotional impact of a movie has been when like everyone's just sitting there
Starting point is 00:48:15 in silence like three minutes into the credits. Yeah. Just like, woof. Unless it's a Marvel movie and then they're waiting to see whether the, the Captain American says a joke. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, the the th. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, to see whether the the Captain American says a joke yeah or a guy comes back and they're like oh no he's got the Quantum Gemerald oh fuck we're fucked and they look at you like you're meant to understand and you're like oh shit and there's a one person in the like the cinema who's really loudly talking to show off that he's read some of the comics to be like that's glaxilon the gl-n needs the the quantum the quantum the quantum the quantum the quantum the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. they. I's the the they. I's they. I's they. I's they. I's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. I's they. th the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they they they. they. they. the the cinema who's really loudly talking to show off that he's read some of the comics to be like that's Glaxilon! Glaxalon needs the quantum general. That's Galaxion. Definitely real, man. I've been trying to read books again. Have you been reading books?
Starting point is 00:48:58 I have been reading books. I have a little ritual where, because I'm a white guy of about my age and my disposition, big-time Kurt Vonnegut head, and I've been trying to buy every single one of his books, but I refuse to buy any of them online, so I do like a kind of roulette where I go to the one little bookstore in West End, Avid, lovely independent bookstores, put your independent bookstore, blah blah blah blah. And I just, it's a roll of the dice, you know, he's got like 15-ish books and I have nearly all of them, and they just continually restock the books seemingly at random, so sometimes it'll be one that I need. Most of the time it won't be.
Starting point is 00:49:45 But I went in there last week being like, well, I need to get some books before all this, you know, shit hits the fan. It's a good idea. And they had two of the last three that I needed. And I was like, holy fuck. This never happens. It's gonna make you feel positive. Yeah, I'm sure it will What about you? You still struggle to read books like I used to read all the time when I was a kid and obviously the internet and also just going to university and reading all the time has ruined my enjoyment of everything. Uh-huh. I am reading a hundred years of solitude. Oh, I'd love that. It's very pleasant. I've got some books around here. I don't have a lot of books.
Starting point is 00:50:32 They're all back in my storage unit in Australia. So we have some books from the library here. Not a lot else. And I've got a big Chuck Pallaniac collection. Because that's the kind of person that I am. I read those like crazy when I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't th-a, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, thi, thi, thi, th. Because that's the kind of person that I am. I read those like crazy when I was a, like, I don't know, 19, 20 year old. They're some of the only books I've read a lot of because they're very easy to read. They're very enjoyable and short.
Starting point is 00:50:55 They're not super complex. No. He has a really good, like, his style of writing is just like fun to read as well. Yeah, it's fun. It's like all factoids and the sides that he crams into stuff and like... Yeah, I enjoy things like that. I find it sometimes difficult to read things that are a little more serious, but I'm doing my best. God bless. I'm probably just going to reread some of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I mean, that's not a thable a a terrible a terrible I take such extraordinary comfort in reading books that I read before and watching movies that I've read before, because I have a sensitive disposition and I don't like surprises. I love watch the movie that I've seen a million times. It's nice. I think, generally I try and stop myself from doing it because I have this like niggling fear that I'm just gonna, you know, like, die having only watched like a handful of things, but then I think in these circumstances, do whatever brings you some fucking comfort, re-read your face. Watch your comfort movies. Oh God, what are your comfort movies?
Starting point is 00:51:57 Row off a few for me. It is definitely the wedding singer, starring Adam Sandler. That is probably my favorite movie. It's a really good. I th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, I I, I, I th, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I've thi, I've thi, thi, I've thi, thi, thi, thi, I all time. I love every minute of it. I've seen it definitely upwards of a hundred times and I love it. That was a when my family first got a DVD player like when they first came out that was one of the five free DVDs that came with it. So I watched that a bunch of times. It's a good film. It's definitely the best Adam's down the film. Yeah. I think definitely one of the best. I love Billy Madison too. I just love silly films like that obviously. Some of my favorites. What are your comfort movies? Uh, I cannot get enough of watching close encounters of the third kind. Okay. I could just watch that movie over and over over again and it gives me like, just, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a the best, it's a the best, I, I, I, I, I, I, I the best, I the best, I's a the best, I the best, I the best, I the best, I the best, I the best, I the best, I, I the best. I, I, I the best. I, I, I. I. I, I. I, I. I. I, I. I, I. I, I, I, I, I. I, I, I. I, I. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, definitely, definitely, definitely. I, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely, the, the, definitely, definitely, th. I'm a th. I'm a th kind. Okay. I could just watch that movie over and over and over again and it gives me like just it's a really easy movie to get
Starting point is 00:52:51 swept up in just like the pace of it and the there's so much sort of grandeur to it and the end like the whole thing is just building up to this really fucking spectacular big ending that just pays off beautifully. It's just so good. It's so beautiful. I could watch that movie every night of my life and I would still be like, wonderful. What's wrong with our brains that they enjoy watching the same thing over over and over again? It's just something very nice about no surprises I think just like... It's true. Yeah. Even re-watching TV shows, I've been doing a lot of that. George has been watching through Mad Men for the first time, which means I'm sort of secondhand
Starting point is 00:53:31 re-watching it for the first time. I was thinking about re-watching it, but it's a big time investment. It's huge. I thought she's getting to the end, but it's a, it's good. I think the thing that like, watching it again, there was a bunch of jokes that I missed when I was younger that are about, ha ha, look how sexist this is, or look how homophobic this is, or like whatever, and a bunch of historical events crammed into the background that I also didn't really know anything about at the the thoomomomomomom tho tho tho tho tho tho thin thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho-a, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thoomomomooma, thooma, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th that's gonna hit me this time is just how cruel this show is to the people in it. That's terrible. It's just torturing all of the people that you're kind of like and it's it's hard, it's hard watch. Yeah sure is. It's a good, it's a good, a good, good show though. Theen a thr-a' show that show that show that show that show that show though. The design, like the production design of it is fucking phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Oh it's so good, it's a beautiful visually show, especially to watch. Good stuff. What else have I got here? What else have you gone? Getting like a really good silence is nice. Like if you live in a city, you don't really ever get that, you'll like go out to a... You don't even really get that in national parks over here either because they're so full of like insects and rustling trees and shit, but like... Right. You go out to like the desert or something or you just out in the middle of nowhere. Oh, in a desert? It's so silent. Like, the desert, silent like you something nice about it. I think our brain is so surprised to hear actual silence,
Starting point is 00:55:08 that you're just like, oh, the thing that I thought I'd been hearing the silence was actually like a low hum of background noise. Yeah. This is actual silence. I love that feeling. It's nice. Every time I go back to the States, I'm just like, I want to go to a different desert and
Starting point is 00:55:25 also the ones that I've been to before. It's just that sort of solitude is just really nice for the soul, I think. And now we're experiencing a kind of solitude that's bad for the soul. We sure are. It's the worst. It's very strange. At least, I keep thinking about that as well. I had a few things in my list that were going to be like nice things about when you're in relationships and stuff. And I was like, oh, that's kind of mean actually.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Like, not saying that it's necessarily... You can bring up the bad parts. Yeah, you know, there's a comfort in having someone else around if you're stuck by yourself, but there's also an element of... My wife, please. Yeah, I mean don't, please don't, I need to hear. You know, nothing will really like stretch the patience and generosity of each other than extended proximity to each other.
Starting point is 00:56:24 I keep thinking about people that are like in maybe like six month long relationships right now having to make that call. You're just going to have to like, I mean, and I feel like people are kind of optimistic at that point as well, maybe if you're not necessarily ready to do that and that's what you've decided to do. You're going to find parts about each other that you didn't expect? You know? And sure you'll find parts about each other the delight you as well. That's kind of how it works, but I don't know, it's just weird. It's okay to argue about stupid things right now. That's the thing is that, you know, we've sort of found ourselves getting like, thi-a- the stress and the anxiety and being a little
Starting point is 00:57:05 bottled up. We get like weirdly snippy at each other over dumb shit. And then like 10 minutes later we're both just like, that was fucking dumb. Let's not do that. It's okay to do that. Yeah, that'll happen. That's, uh, yeah, I don't think it's going to be easy for anyone. And it's okay to feel like shit even if nothing is happening to you, I think is a nice thing
Starting point is 00:57:30 to keep in mind. Like, that's true. You know, this is one of those things where people feel bad about complaining because obviously there are people who are going to be affected a lot worse. People that are completely out of any sort of financial support, people that will get sick, people that will have friends and loved ones get sick, people will die, but it doesn't mean that you're not having a shitty time if you are, you know, this is hard. It's hard on everyone. It's okay to feel like shit if you want to. You can post about it. It's completely fine to do sincere posting right now. Go for it.
Starting point is 00:58:05 There. This is your time. Just you can post sending hugs. Go for it. Send love to people that you like only know as people whose jokes you like. Just be like, hey, I think you're good and I hope you're okay. Just chat to people. I think it's totally fine to do that stuff right now. That's our crime pass for the week. It's just, it's okay to just try and be kind to people.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Yes. And if you want to be a root to people on the internet who are people in enormous positions of privilege, rich people, landlords, whatever, you can do that as well if that makes you feel better. That's fine too. You can definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely definitely the thi thi thi th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

You can definitely laugh at the companies like Boeing. Oh gosh. You can, I know people are affected by their stocks going down. But wouldn't that be nice to have to worry about your stocks going down? It's such a weird one, right. I assume I must know people with stocks but I don't know that I know people. I have one share. In what? Beyond meat. I bought a beyond meat share when everything crashed. We have one share it's worth $70 and one day it's gonna make big money. I think you're right. I mean those Beyond Paddies. This is not an ad for beyond. I just, uh, as far as the fake meat pati is that we can get their it it it it it it it it it's th. It's th. It's their it's their it's th.

I mean those Beyond Patties, this is not an ad for Beyond I just, as far as the fake meat patties that we can get over you, because I can't
Starting point is 00:59:31 get the impossible ones, I can't find them. It's impossible. But the Beyond ones, they're so fucking good. They're amazing. They cook in a really satisfying way as well, they like sizzle properly. They look like they're pretty gross. They look like they like sizzle properly and everything. They make me uncomfortable, they're pretty gross, they look like they're bleeding. See that's the part that I love, that's what I need, which is probably psychotic, but it's the pantomime of the experience. It's very nice. How do they do that? I have no idea how they do it. Well, that's the message we're going to leave you on. If you know how beyond beyond the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their they they they they they they're they're they're to be to be to be to be they're to be to be to be they're they're to be they're they're're going to leave you on. If you know how beyond me do that, let us know. Also, it's okay to laugh at stocks go down. It's okay to laugh at landlords who don't know how they're going to pay their bills after they spend everything investing in other people's labor.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Mm-hmm. The people that are having to madly put their, the apartments that houses they bought for Airbnb up for sale or up for rent because Airbnb has fallen through because no one's traveling, you know they might be victims of a capitalist society that forces them to try and eke out whatever joyous existence they can through exploiting other things and exploiting the market and taking up housing that could go to people that need it and that maybe that's a systemic problem and not a personal problem but at the same time fucking ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Owned, poigned even. Fucon, a friend of the show, Bacoon was just posting pictures of places that were going up for rent that were clearly Airbnb's because of how shitty the
Starting point is 01:01:08 interior decorating is. But it's like that like having a pillow that just says live on it. You're like... What do you mean by then? What does this mean? It's such a weird facsimile of a place people would live in? Like, yeah. It's weird, right? Because normally how a house happens is you accumulate stuff over time and things just get put in places where they belong and it's all of your, you know, households come together into really organic, quite warm process, you know, it's very personal. And then they try to put this together artificially. Yeah, to try and do that where you're like, oh, but I I I I I I I I I I I I I th I they they they they they they they they don't they're they're th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. tho. tho. tho, tho. thi. that, tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. tho. thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the. the. thee. the. try. try. try. try. try. the. the. the. the. the. th. th put this together artificially. Yeah to try and do that where you're like, oh but I don't want to spend too much money. So you've just got like the blandest looking shit. It's weird. It's like a ghost version of a house.
Starting point is 01:01:52 It's very weird. It's pretty weird. Although there is some good news that we should probably end on, which is that the government has, there's a new story today th. th th. th th th. th tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' thate, thate, tho' thate, it's thi' thr-I's weird, thr-like, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's their, it's their, their, their, their their their their their thi's weird, thi's weird, thi's weird, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a' thr-a'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'n'ease, there's a news story today, the government has admitted that it's very likely to lose its class action lawsuit about the Centerlink robo debt. Oh, I did see that. And we'll very likely have to pay back the majority of those debts. Fuck, that's so good. So congratulations to anyone who is a recipient of one of those robo debt repayments. I hope you spend all on weed. I hope so too. Spend it on something that would make the government unhappy. Spend it on whatever the government was telling you that you were buying with your Centrelink money at the time you were receiving it. I think that's a wonderful plan.
