And you're a driver. Tell the world what it's like to be you. That's the order on my business card. No, the driver comes first. Driver first. Oh, yes, yeah, yeah. I don't want to hear anything about your children at work. Look, I'm okay, yes.

I said before I've been a bit sick. Anything for attention. I know. I am attention seeking. Yes, but it's just that time of year, you know. It is. Fluy time. Yes.

Yes. And I do have chronic illness. So it just kind of goes with the territory, I guess. Yeah, goddamn. Do you find hope in the days getting slightly longer every day? I see the sun setting a little bit later and I... More time to suffer. That's right.

Yeah, I think, God, I wish it was time for sleep already. That's right. Nossarach who didn't want the sunlight on his skin. Was it quite the angle I was going for? That's fine. I wish this day would end. I need to retreat to my gaze. I feel like that sometimes

I feel like I've been doing a vampire I do love it when the day ends You're like well I'm done Yeah Clocking off I feel like that sometimes It gets to like five And I'm like well we gave it a good run

I like I get home I give myself like half an hour To like do things And then that's it I close up shop for the day Yeah I think I like

Because I don't keep normal hours As a kind of nosferatu Like figure I am I toyed around my manner some days. And I find that, like, there's something that I find very intense about afternoons. Like, I remember afternoon. It is an intense time. Like, it reminds me of coming home from school.

Oh. And, like, that time from, like, 3.30 till 6. Mm-hmm. It just is so charged with, like, a kind of. bittersweet nostalgia there's something a bit upsetting about that time and I hadn't really noticed the comings and goings of afternoons but now that I'm you know sharing a life with a man who that's right I'm gay you heard it here first that's right I'm telling you all now but now that I'm sharing my life with a man he comes home in the afternoon

And I'm suddenly like, oh, that's it. The day is done. I felt there was a lot of pressure on that time frame between, like, getting off the school bus and, like, dinner. Yeah. Where, like, maybe you could play with a friend after school, or maybe you would watch Dragon Ball Zee or something.

Taped it from Cheese TV in the morning before. Correct. It was pre-re-round, thankfully. But, yeah, that was, like, crunch time. Yeah. Because then, like, you probably had to do homework before me. Oh. Well, I, yeah, latchkey kids.

So my parents didn't get home usually until like six. So there would be like things. You would just left a lot, right in? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'd come home and there'd be no one home. I remember when we would. Like wake up and there'd be no one home. Yeah, well, right?

Yeah, when we would be home, like my brother and I would be home and then when dad would get home, we'd have to like go outside and help offload the tractor, trailer. Like take the mower in, take all that. the barn raising yeah for the what the barn raising on that steddle you lived on yeah that was good fun yeah i i think the the distinct memory i have with some of my eating habits during that time because when i would get home if there was like party pies in the um thing they'd be like a pack of 25 and i might just chuck like 10 or 15 party pie in the oven and then just sit there and eat 15 pardy back to back to back

Or like if there was an assorted biscuits I found that like oh if you dunked a biscuit in milk That would be quite delicious A little soft milky biscuit And I was like It probably works if you do it in water too And so then I would like be like You know if I're out of milk or whatever

And then I just started just dunking them in like a hot water From the kettle And eating like this soggy biscuit And then eventually, I believe I graduated to just grabbing a handful of biscuits and running them under the tap. They're just shoving this, like, wet sludge of, like, reconstituted biscuit into my mouth. You know, there is a, there's a section in the supermarket you might enjoy. It's called baby foods. I do like that.

Yeah. Did you ever do, like, crushed up, like, too many. minute noodles, but you don't bother cooking them. Oh, yes. You just crush them up and eat them like a little crunchy snack. Drag that flavoring over it. Yes. Shake it up in a bag.

Ah. Too salty for me to eat that now. I see. Anyway, yeah. That was a very stress. But, you know, usually we'd have people over for, like, you know, because my parents was so, like, working late into the night. Either, like, I would go over a friend's house and get picked up around seven.

Or I had a friend's over that would. day for dinner or whatever. So it was pretty common that, like, there wasn't that same crunch time feeling. It was just that when the afternoon sun would pierce its rays into the house. Yes. And you felt the dying of the land. And you knew that the day was almost over. Yeah. Oh, struggle town, USA. It's crushing. Crushing scenes. Yeah. My, I mean, that was the nice thing about being in, like, primary school, high school, because it's all, like, kind of based on where you live, fucking obviously.

But all of your friends live close by. Yeah. And so like Jessica used to live like around the corner. We'd get off the same bus stop. Oh, you think Jessica was one of your friends? Keep dreaming. Oh, my God. She had one eye on you and one eye on the exit at all the time.

She couldn't trust you. Oh, my God. She couldn't trust you. It's because you lived in the same street. She knew who you were. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

Jessica sent me a fucking ticker. talk this morning, all right? So back off. Oh yeah, you've never sent a TikTok to someone you hate before. Um, but that was fun. Yeah. And then like when you would, when we get off the bus, there'd be like weird, you know, like not friends or people in different year levels and you kind of like have to go down the same street and then tree branch off as you would go. So you'd have this weird period of like, you live two houses. Hanging out with the Crouch brothers before they got to their weird hovel. Yeah. And then as As the years went by and your friendship circle expanded and you went to different houses,

you could create a mental map of like houses in the neighborhood that you'd been in and once you had it. There was this one house in Rye that like was, had this big open yard that you could like look down into from the street. It was probably like a 20 meter drop. And I like had always fantasized about being there. And then one year people moved in that I went to school with and I got to go there for a party. It was underwhelming, but very cool, to be down in the grove instead of up top.

Yeah, grove houses. No one trusts the grove house. And then, I don't know, by the time we're in high school, and then, like, there was, I don't know, you'd, like, walk home with the guys, and then they would, like, jerk off in the bushes, one after the other. They would jerk off in the bushes. There were these two guys that I used to work home with, and there was this, like, point where, like, the three of us would, like, split to our respective streets. But before we would like, before that we would hang out on like a log and then like there was bushes nearby and they used to take turns going in there to joke off. They'd never go at the same time. Um, not while I was there.

Oh. Just when you left. But isn't it weird? Why are you joking off with a gay guy? Why? Well, that's why they had the bush. Hmm. You know?

But like, what? Yeah. Also, joke off at home. home, you freaks. It's a very suggestive bush. You have, yeah, the burning bush. It's in the shape of a naked lady. If you squint, she kind of looks like a beautiful, invasiously.

Strike guys, fucking love jerking off near me. Really being a constant in my life. Are you sure they're all straight? Yeah. Wow. You said it. Well, that was not my experience. But I do, yeah, I did have that experience of, yeah, having all the friends on my street.

Ah, yes. That was so nice. Yeah. Now I have no friends. I don't even live on a street. I live behind a small series of packing boxes. They're from koala, and if you were just organized for them to be picked up, it would go. Do you still have it?

Yes, of course I still have it. They'll never hear from me again. Have you heard from them again? No. You say? No, I just don't think I ever will Oh, good, yeah I wouldn't be surprised if I never saw koala over again

They're extinct now Yeah, what's it? Every time I drive past a koala on the street I say, get out into the road Yeah Try it again, sweetie Get this Go on

So, my work life at the moment It's quite intense Listener, as you've probably heard me complain about For six months at this point And so And so Yesterday I started work at 12, I did like

12 to 9.30. Yeah. But I got up at 7 because I had to get the house ready for a house inspection. Oh, boo. That time again. And... What are they looking for? Right.

What do they want to know? The walls are still there? Right. I don't think that there's much that can be done. Yeah. I'm like, it's a drive to a drive-by. Get a sense check to the drive-by. I'm like, to what end?

The house is there. I'm still paying the rent. It's like, you know, like, check on what. And it's like, if the house burns down, the house burns down, get over it. Claim it on insurance. But, no, I think you're a good tenant. I think that they would have a lot of tenants that go in their house and just be like, I wonder what bad, like, what happens on a bad inspection?

But that's the thing, like, they must put all this fucking pressure on. But, like, there are so many places that are full out cracked in, like, everything. You would know from like... But they don't kick, you know, it's like, what are you going to do? Yeah, yeah. Well, anyway, I get up. I'd already like kind of prepped, like, I'd already done like all the lawns and stuff on the weekend, which, I mean, I keep a relatively, like, tidy house anyway. So it's like they could fucking show up at any day.

It doesn't really matter. Was your computer under your bed? Oh, Matt. Don't tell the listener. Don't remind them. Your safe spot? Obviously, yes. but so I got up and I like

oh you know like made the bed and made sure there were no dishes in the kitchen and just like had everything like pristine and like did the toilet and I did the bathroom and the shower and the base and all this stuff and then I was like just finished vacuuming and all of this before I had to go to work blah blah blah and then I get a text being like oh sorry I've had too many sick calls today we have to postpone Are you kidding?

I was like, what? I was like, I am so diet at the moment As if I got up early to clean the house for three hours And then you cancel But also I don't, I think that's the thing Don't set a standard Just let them come and be like Yeah, there's laundry everywhere

That doesn't affect the structure of the house I know, I know No, you don't need to do that I'm not cleaning for a fucking 26 year old real estate agent To come and like take a photo for it Like piss off I don't know well you know It's like you people are proper

Offering off me. Still want them to, you know, feel at home in my home. It's not your home. It's not your home. It's their home. Oh. You know, when I hear this, though, it dawns of me that I have never once lived in a place that has ever done rental expectations. And I've been renting since I was 19 years old. Yeah, wow.

Always private and always, like, connected, kind of. No, we had one place. When I lived in Yarraville, we lived in a house that was through an estate agent. They were just really slack. Oh, wow. And they never came. Huh. Some of them are like that.

I loved it. But as a result, I just have never, ever had to do that. No. Interesting. I mean, I've never heard any feedback from any inspection ever. Yeah. Good or bad. It just kind of happens.

They don't give you feedback. Only if it's bad. You're like, tell me that I'm good. I'd love you to just say, I just vacuum the entire house for you. Well, this place is the cleanest house I've ever seen. Oh, yeah. If they could say something about the hydrangeers or. Yeah.

No. Pop plans. I don't know how you juggle the door. They can say something about my choosing cushions on the couch. You're disturbing amount of fish tanks. Yes. Yes. There's fish tanks in every room.

And so few of them are full. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Oh. Okay. Okay. Should we dive in?

Oh. Let's get soaking wet. Do it. Did, do, do, do, do it. So, Zelda. It's all weak to. End the world. It is.

And if you don't know this, each week we discuss how the world is going to end this week. Wait, shouldn't you say something about your fabulous gigs or something? I can cede that. Seed it in through the rest of the episode. Ah, you're going to seed it. I'm going to seed it. Hmm.

Just had a thought. If you're going to be... God. What? I think I should just throw my phone into the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. But it won't help you.

They'll get in touch with you somehow. You know what? You know on Third Rock from the Sun how there are those like little in between the scenes bits of the planets like bouncing around each other? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like that, except that unlike in the show where it's a delight and it's just a bit of fun

and the planets remain unscathed. In this version, you and I are like, okay, hey, hey. Hey. Should we try to do that third rock from the sun thing and make the planets, you know, like, pull the table around? And so we set it up and then we do it, except when the planets collide, they all explode into a fiery inferno.

And we're like, no, this could have been our third rock moment. Yes. like shit yeah accidents happen yeah that's why they put erasers on pencils

god such a delight um okay we'll be right back Hello, listener. Hello, you're still listening, are you listener? No.

I had gigs in it. Wait, she's seating. Just thought I'd eloquently seat it in. No, let's give the premise of this week, which is... Stock take! It's stock take! Get out. It's time.

But every, like, what is it? Biannually. Oh, whenever we feel like a baby. It's bi-annually. Okay, well, I can't be buying. It's not the day of visibility But biannually we do do a stock take of the Of the bunker

And we decide what's going to leave Yeah And what's going to stay Yeah Okay So we go through things that have been added into the bunker In the interim Or we can scrape back even further

And decide what's bad And so I think the way we're going to structure I think each one of us is going to pitch something To kick out Yeah And we'll discuss whether we should or not Now at this point I had gigged

So I'm just seeding it in What did you do with the gigs sister You did a lot of stuff I'd look like I'm busy You're busy gal No I went It's been Miff time here again Oh yes

And I've been trying to really seed Seed my presence At the Miff Film Festival Melbourne International Film Festival and so I did I interviewed a director who directed a film called the Golden Spurtle and

you did it as that character as Werner Herzog Gordon Spurtle and I was like Hello! Tell me about your golden spurtle you have made a beautiful piece of film here

take us inside of your mind so key And then the next night I did Backyard Stories, a podcast where people tell stories. There was one listener that came. And I heard that, should I love. Yeah, I'll tell you after. But yeah, I had such a good time. And I was really nervous for that one because I love storytelling podcasts.

And I listened to some other storytellers, but they were like real storytellers. And I was really nervous at first. but then I realized that real writers, like actual writers who are very talented at writing, are a little bit more nervous when it comes to performing for a crowd. And I was like, mine is not as eloquently written as yours, but I do know how to look the audience in the eye when I'm talking. Oh, my God. I did a lot of that.

I like that. Yeah. To like to apologize for some of the gurgling you might have heard during that and just enjoy my little muggy drinking. it's bubbling hmm is that your throat that's the straw

I'm just gonna I also just got tagged in an image by the cinematographer of the golden spurtle and I I will just quickly put that

in the group chat it's me just in my new bald cap and I put a beard on top of my head and I'm with the director and the producer

and the DOP, and I'm doing a face that can only be described as hideous. You look both vacant and present at the same time. I look like midway through transforming into a mouse in the film The Witches. Correct. But what fabulous dangly earrings? Yes. And a little step in your stockings. It's actually more of a hole.

Okay. A gaping hall Gaping hall Speaking of gaping halls What would you like to come out of our gaping hall Wait My seating stories Oh no you already had your time

Oh You told your hideous stories about work Oh Rental inspection Yeah okay fair Did something else happen No no You got any fun seeding stories

No just lots of seeding Can I tell you one little story about myth though Oh There was a moment Where me and some of my compatriots we're going to the bathroom together because we needed to see what their keys smelled like and we were like

oh wait what what oh I get it and then I was like oh should we go to the the men's bathroom or no we'll go to the women's because I'm in drag and our friend one of the friends with a woman

and then one of the friends was a gay man and I was like oh gay men are practically women you know it's not problematic And then I was like, come on And then he refused He was like, I won't go into a women's bathroom

And I was like, ugh Well, you really Were you dressed as an old man in a little dress? No, no, no, no, I was dressed in drag Oh But also you have more fun in the women's bathroom Just like all kikiing, having a laugh Men's bathroom smells of piss

And everyone's just trying to get in and get out It's like an airport Yeah A woman's bathroom is more like Casting spells and reapplying mascara Yeah, they take time Whereas men are just like Don't look at my dick

Or whatever Why does that always happen When you go to the barn? Is that what people say to you? No Stop standing right at the cubicle And looking I get out of here

Why even the store with me Quite the contrary I just go in I like I just want to use the cubicle Because I don't want to be accused Of looking at anyone's dick And then I wouldn't get out

Again I don't. Learing over the cubicle wall. Hayden just sent me. Okay, so then we were like, okay, well, fine, we'll go to the fucking men's bathroom. And then we go into the men's bathroom. And having already been to the women's bathroom that night, I knew that the men's bathroom was so inferior. There was like one cubicle and a piss wall.

And there was no space to move, no space to cavort. And we were like, there's no space in here. And this guy opens up a cubicle where he's sitting down, shitting at MIF. And he's like, it's going to be a while. And I was like, wait, he said that through the door? He opened the door. We could see him pants down about his ankles. What?

Shitting at Miff. And he opened the door and was like, it's going to be a while, boys. And I was like, this is it. This is it. I'm leaving. What the, fuck anyway so then we came out and then we were like leaning up against this door and we're like we've got to find someone else to go there's nowhere private and then pushed back on this door

without realizing it that it was the automatic door for the disabled bathroom oh my god and as that door opened oh no there were 12 people from the australian film industry all sniffing their keys And they hastily just put them behind the back And we're like, get in And then we went in there And then they were like So it's 14, how many? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, one in the bed

And the little one said And then they They were like, we have to wait three seconds Because the door closes automatically Before you can lock it And so everyone just pretended to be innocent In this like packed tiny room And then the door slowly closed

And then everyone was like back to their work And then this guy was like I also have a, um, a fresh eucalyptus scent if you'd like something to sniff afterwards and it was so chic and they were like you know rarely at these kinds of events would you have such a spread of ages but they were like fabulous 60 year old women in their gorman gowns you know also just being like anyway it was amazing wow that's my story that's good yeah it's fun um your okay so my counter story is not quite as fabulous but what i will say is that you saying that

you saw that guy shitting on the toilet reminded me shitting at miff yeah yeah sorry yeah of someone who i was talking to like online last night oh no and he like i like just i had been talking to him for like 20 seconds and he was like yeah and after we fuck i'm going to pit in your ass off I was like What is happening? After we fuck I'm going to piss in your asshole Yeah That's what he wanted

Yeah But how? I don't know that that's what I want That's so romantic I mean also like Do you not need to be like Because I've seen obviously You get those funnels

That keep you gaping But otherwise it's like I don't think the pressure Coming out of your hose Is gonna push past the aperture of the asshole If you pinch it You're going to be inside

Oh it's got to be hard still I get I don't know what his plan was But I'm not going to see it through No No I don't need someone I don't need I don't need that You're like I have got a rental inspection

My life is full Yeah But you saying funnel Reminding me of something else Depressing I was going to say Which of course is do you because I did it this morning and I was like okay okay so I don't often make like a coffee at home yeah because I don't know I just like one I don't wait is this go on what a boring

story hey it's already started off so bad say the stop how dare you act surprised say the start part again no go I won't I don't to make coffee at home. I don't. But with fictures, I feel full. Oh my God. But, because I don't often have milk. It's like, what am I making with milk?

And also, like, I don't know. Like, why do I? I don't need to have a coffee at home. But sometimes I, sometimes I might. And when I do, I still make, like, an iced coffee. So I, like, this is how I make it, okay? So I've got, like, two glasses. I boil the kettle.

Put, like, a spoon of coffee. like instant coffee, whatever, into like one of the glasses. Then the other glass I put two of my big ice cubes and I put the milk in. Yeah. And then I put a funnel in because then once the coffee and the second cup is like, I've put in some hot water and stir it around, then I like pour it into the funnel so that it goes into the cup and doesn't melt the ice cube. Also, you don't need to use boiling water on instant coffee.

It'll dissolve in just regular water. What? Yeah. actually yeah like tap water yeah i don't know if i can drink hot water from a tap it doesn't have to be hot darling you can just put in cold water from the wait what do you mean well you've seen instant coffee yes you know that it's like just crystals it's not like actual coffee it will melt in like if i just put it in the oat milk or regular water yeah likely yeah you could probably just put it in the oat milk

straight away. No. Why don't you give it a try? I'll report back next week. All right. Well, you heard it here first listener. We're waiting with baited breath. Really?

Because you know, like I feel like that is something people might say about sugar. But sugar, you get all those granules at the bottom. You need a bit of heat to melt it. Why don't you give it a try? Oh, my God. Why don't you see what happens? Okay. But yeah, I think with a vigorous stir, even sugar can dissolve in

cold water. Hmm. Just takes longer. Hmm. Anyway. Anyway. So, this week is stuck tick. Yes.

And we get to decide what's leaving. Yeah. So we're each going to pick a grievance and try to kick it out. Not a guarantee, but maybe. Who wants to go first? I think you hit us off. Oh, God. And then I'll go.

Okay. Can I say one last thing I will say is that the opening night myth film is, is Man, shit's on toilet. No, that was one of the live theater activation. It was this very depressing film called If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You, starring Roseburn, and it's a very stressful film about motherhood, which is incredible. It's a masterpiece. If you get the opportunity to see it, please do.

But the point of contention is, MIF keeps fucking programming the most depressing. the most depressing opening night fucking films last year they had albeit a fair choice because it was a Melbourne film Adam Elliott's memoir of a snail

love Adam Elliott and claymation but his films are fucking depressing and clamation the year before that they had Shader a film about domestic violence also another Australian film

so it's still a good choice but like depressing and then the year before the one that everyone cites as being like a high point where it wasn't depressing is a film about fucking unrequited gay love where they never get together in the film. Sounds relatable. And I think we need an upper next year.

But what I will say... They should look in the bathrooms. Why do you think everyone was in the bathrooms? They just wanted to feel something. Anyway, so then Rose Byrne didn't. come to the opening night and so I think that was what they were angling for was to try and get you know Australian icon Rose Byrne at the red carpet because obviously that's what makes your event feel grand and international but instead they just got a video from Rose now Rose if

you're listening to this you sent through a vertical shot on your iPhone on the balcony of your hotel video to play on a Hoyt's extreme screen cinema. Diva, what do you mean? You have been in this film industry for two decades working in cinema. Turn your phone into a fucking horizontal 16 by 9 setting and get a microphone plugged in. if a diva with like 1,500 followers on TikTok can do it

you can fucking do it Rose I believe in you your film is the opening night film and you are the reason it is being fucking programmed what do you mean you're sending us this video being like hi guys

sorry I couldn't be there tonight enjoy the film and then the director got up, this American woman, and she came, and she was like, hi guys, please enjoy this film. I remember as a young woman, I used to go and see films at this, like, shitty strip mall in my hometown. Amazing.

And being here tonight in Melbourne Central reminds me of that. In Melbourne Central. Because they do it at the Hoyt's at Melbourne Central. That makes me feel weird. And she was like, enjoy it, pigs. Like, this is your night of nights. In the strip mall. In your strip mall, in your shitty mall where everyone's just trying to get home and you're like,

and also just quickly one more thing to lay it on. I had like a new look made by Miss Passion Gautour for this event. And when I tell you, the Melbourne film community, I'm talking to you, it is not appropriate for you to wear a t-shirt and slacks to an opening night of the Melbourne International Film Festival. We need to assert a dress code. We need to leave Melbourne Central behind because I wouldn't host a kid's 13th birthday there, so I'm not going to host the night of the nights of the Southern Hemisphere's biggest film festival there. there

can we have it in somewhere with some grandeur can we return to grandeur please even if it was a crown yeah like it needs to just feel

a little bit bigger and people need to be tizzed up why is everyone looking so fucking comfortable anyway and Rose get it to fucking get that damages your damage does

well she's not a camera operator she's an actor no no she's not a They should have sent a cinematographer to a fucking apartment. Yeah. Well, back to Stocktaker. Yes, yes, sorry.

So, okay. Can I say, listener, if you are a Patreon subscriber, you have unlimited access to a semi-well up-cooked list, Matt, I see last week's episode is not here? No, it's fully up to date, isn't it? Oh, this week isn't? well look it will be but what I will say is reviewing this list God we're good at our jobs

we're overqualified at this point what a fucking incredible curation of human race's finest it's getting quite complicated now just a touch we're at over 430

things in the bunker which is quite a lot to remember but we do our best now I have one grievance that I'll bring up but first I'd like to say that after my

brief review between last I take and this stock take I think the thing in the bunker that makes me feel the most uneasy is the rubber duck with a dick true from which sex toy goes into the bunker yes because what the actual fuck I didn't choose that you Matt Matt Matt Matt if it's inside you right now you don't have to take it out while we're

watching yeah no I've got it on my desk oh good it just is not quite it came up with that as a joke and you two were like that's going in do you know that's what we're going to do someone sent me a photo Someone owns one of those things. And now, now I have the likes of Brenda Brest, sending me a Tyrannosaurus Rex that's morphed into a dildo. And she's like, you'd like this. That's very spiny. I don't know if that would be really...

It looked fabulous. Lots of teeth and claws. You want to get fucked by the dinosaur. Yeah. So that is one option. And the other, actually, speaking of Brenda Brest, I would like to kick from the bunker, her rule about bayonetta not being allowed to own

cunning glasses. Hmm. Make your case. Because Bayonetta has impaired vision and needs her reading glasses to see. Yes, but do we always need to give everyone everything they need in this society? But Bayonetta gives so much to everyone in the bunker at all time. Look, the way that she... Where are they coming from? Is she... Are we putting a speck savers in?

Where have these glasses now be able to? Oh, with the Elton John collection? Oh, my God. I keep getting podcast ads for like... It's inspired by Elton Jod's legendary creative career. Right. We have his new glasses collection, including Rocket Man. Yeah, inspired by the songs.

Oh! And every one of those ads doesn't have an Elton Jules. John's song on it. They have some weird stock music. And I'm like, couldn't this have been part of the negotiation of the Elton John co-lab? He designed them. I think music's too good for that.

Yeah, I think it would obviously just blow the budget. But, yeah. Is Elton John's music good? I can't say ever, like, gone on to, you know, music provider and said, Elton John, please. Rock it man. Yeah, I don't know about that. That is great.

I just like also how much of a bitch olden is. Yeah, I think that's quite funny. Yeah. I've been listening to a lot of Kate Bush this week. Actually, like, brings me to tears. She's like, oh, what an old soul. She was so young in the 80s. We all were.

But, like, her, the things that, like, she's so strange. But, like, the things that she decides to go after just feel beyond her. years. Yeah. I don't know. And, and beyond her, like, my presumed version of her life experience at that age. Yeah. It's like, I don't know. How does she know so much about the world? But she did, and she does. And it's still relevant today. And there's a rumor that she'll do another album, but who knows? Do you think in the case of someone, like, who is naturally weird, do you think that a very straight-laced normal person looking at that, it's better for them to be boring and normal or to attempt to be weird.

Wait, sorry, say again. Do you think fake weirdness is better than natural boringness? No, natural boringness is, I love that. Yeah. Like, I think that's incredible. So don't, if you're boring and you're listening to this, Zelda's advice to you. Keep it up. Yeah.

I will know if you're fake. That's worse. Much worse. So much worse. Because you're also too boring. to know what an interesting person would look and sound like. Yeah. So it's just the worst impersonation.

You leave milk out of this. But like, right? Like if milk was just an accountant, you could just leave her alone. But instead, she's constantly pretending to be an entertainer. God. That's rough.

Yeah. But not as rough as a bunker with bayonetta without cunty glasses. But look, see, this is my problem. I just, I think we're setting. a bad precedent here because that was a guest bonus. That was a guest bonus. By Brenda Blessed and everything

Brenda Blessed. It says Brenda Blessed on the spreadsheet. We need to update that. No, but I was under the impression that the guest bonus could not be removed. I think that's true that we roll the tape but I think...

Like every time you say to a guest you get something that you in, no questions asked. And that it can't be removed. And I think that that's something. I'd like to honour. Yeah. Because I think that friends are... Because if guests are coming on and then you say, what would you like to put in?

We didn't pay Brenda to come on the show. We just gave her the gift to save something from humanity with one of the ducks, I suspect. Oh, well, how convenient that the rule book comes out now. Well, it is... I can't wait to bring the rule book out when we get to your kickouts. Well... Well, then, that stupid fucking rubber duck is out of here. Okay, well, I'll let you do that.

I thought it was quite cool, that duck. Yeah, we know, Matt. About as cool as Sydney Sweeney, I guess. Oh, my God, poor. Can I say on that? Why don't we take her? I didn't realize. I thought the campaign was purely visual.

Yeah. But there is, like, an ad or, like, content of her, like, sitting in a chair being, like, I have these good genes or whatever and it makes it much worse Oh yeah Like the things she's saying are like Oh God Which I think someone did clarify with us

Oh That it's based off the Brooke Shields 80s campaign which has this same script But I'm like It was a different time Yeah I think it is different It is different

And Brooke Shields is a brunette And ugly I love Brooks Shields Yes Yeah So like in that way I'm like Okay

I think that you know You can When when adapting things For the contemporary time You could cast three people Instead of just one Sydney Sweeney Yes But also it doesn't help for the fact that she

You could do January Jones as well Yes And you could do Amanda Seafried And that would be good Yeah Yeah I'd be really nice

God And one of the scars guards Yes Well the blonde one Yeah Maybe You know what I think like really crystal blue eyes as well

Mm-hmm So anyway Am I Are we for seeing any pushback On the rubber duck Being kicked out I think the rubber duck Must be kicked out

Matt Fine But in that case Matt is at the door when it's getting thrown out into the barren wasteland and he goes no my little ducky sorry yeah okay i never wanted the ducky uh-huh uh-huh um we'll be right back Death to everyone Welcome back

Hello listener, we're back Okay Okay I'm kind of in a bit of a tiz I'm a bit of a tiz Because There's a few here That I feel like fall into the Michael B. Jordan category

Oh, forgotten And we've, yeah People's Things Oh yeah, people people and things and I think one of those things is earthworm

gym oh wow that was quite recent we just talked about that recently maybe I'm not saying that of the cheese TV shows that we had to choose from Earthworm Jim was the only option I just think

I am shocked I love you brought him up I know I know but sometimes you buy a toy that you don't need. Like Dr. Strange. Dr. Disgusting. Sorry. You know, where you have to make little gummy worms in your little laboratory. Yes. And I, I don't know, I guys, I feel so

conflicted. What? Do you have any others that irritated you to see? Because we've put some pretty fucking good things in lately. Like that silly string wing? The silly string wing, I do remember putting in. I think, I mean, listen, Angelina Jolie isn't doing much. Well, I did see her and I thought, that was a couple, that was like a little while ago and I haven't really thought about her. And what about Michael Jackson and the human is no Michael Jackson? Yeah, because we just did, is Michael Jackson going in and we said, no. So he's not in.

Are you saying, you want to put him in now? Sometimes we decide if a person is going to be in or not. I have no memory of that ever happening. Oh my God. Well, like, Beyonce is in. Yeah. But Brunswick Beyonce. Yes.

Yes. And Beyonce, of course, does the Super Bowl every so often. Every so often. Yes. But Michael Jackson. Didn't make it in, yeah. Michael B. Jordan. I feel like we could kick out whatever hieroglyph we put in.

The Apache helicopter. Oh, wait. No, that's very funny. Yeah. No, we have to keep that. And I did get... You've already chosen your one. Oh.

Did get people excited about... about, like, like, the Pokemon cards made people happy. People really unanimously thought Pokemon cards. True. Do you, like, do you still think about Pokemon cards at all? Yeah, I was talking about Pokemon cards the other day. What do you like, what do you like about them? Oh, I don't like them.

You don't like them? I mean, like, they like them just fine. How much do you like them? Like, four out of ten. Okay. Because they're, the thing I don't, one of the things they don't, like about Pokemon cards is how inconsistent they are. Oh.

The visual look of the cards has changed so much over the yards. But even from conception, they were quite inconsistent. The illustration style is different now. Yeah. Different illustrators? Yeah. I get. I think that's quite fun.

That's cool. And I think it's important then that perhaps they all have a different, slightly different look and feel to the anime and like classic. Pokemon interpretation, but some of them are whack. And I like that, for what? But then... Those like CG 3D generated ones are so cool. But then you get like, okay, so this is what a shiny card looks like, but then this card

is like the whole thing's fucking shiny. Reverse hollow. Yeah, but then like the back of the card and then like I haven't seen an energy card in 20 years. What do they look like these days? I wouldn't be surprised if I never saw another energy. Or like a potion card. What do they look like now?

Like, they're just, the, the, the visual style is so... It's hodgepodge. Yes. So that's a grievance. But what I will say is that Dungeons and Dragons has had, like, different versions through, like, the years or whatever. So, like, the rule set slightly changed, like, if you're looking at, like, the detail, detail. So it's like, if you're playing, like, version four or whatever.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, like, maybe that's the current one or maybe it's five, or whatever. But like, Pokemon cards, I believe, like, you could play with any card from any time. Yeah. But, okay, so not to bring it back to Marvel rivals, but every single week since the game came out, they rebalance the game. So, like, if a character is a bit too overpowered or like when they introduce a new character, like Blade, who just came out, so cool. that injection of a new character with a new move set influences how the entire rest of the game works

and they adjust it accordingly but Pokemon cards there's new I mean there's new Pokemon every second year I think they do stuff to rebalance the game tournament style yeah but like maybe I'm just not across that enough but I don't need to be to know how much that annoys me well they definitely do it and do it a lot in magic The Gathering.

Yes, right? And I, the 7-Eleven near work sells Magic the Gathering cards on the counter, which I thought was quite chic. But no Pokemon cards, which I thought was quite interesting. What is that? I mean, it's been going for a lot longer than that. Magic the Gathering. No, no, no.

Pokemon. Yeah. Versus Marvel Rivals. Yeah. A game that will not exist in three years. That's not true. That's not true. But it's not.

Those games seem to just go forever. Oh, my God, I was having the best time last night playing those. Emma Frost. Can I say just quickly, everyone, if you've been on TikTok recently, you've probably seen this spate of hideous ads for Marvel Rival. And I'd like to know, Marvel, is this you? This is Lazy Susan here. You are meant to be one of the largest entertainment brands in the entire world.

Why are you giving Candy Crush style ads on TikTok? Can you send me some of these ads? I would absolutely love to. Because I'm curious. They're like the biggest updates this year are coming to Marvel Rivals. It is tacky Caribbean gardens. Like, diva, what do you mean? I am genuinely curious to say that because

these games exist on how hot everything is. So I'm curious to see that. It's like giving like Rupol's... No. Notchap level. Oh my God. I was watching Slash and Royale came out this week. And I was watching the Raven and Raja Tudan Boot.

And 20 seconds in, they do a two-minute ad for that RuPaul game where they both sit there and pretend to be playing it. And they're like, oh, I. I wish I could keep playing, but I suppose we have to do Toad and Boot. Oh, shut up! I want to know how much they're making from that, because it has to be a lot. Why aren't you in that game? If that comes up, I don't know about the...

I find that kind of gaming to be an ethical line. Oh, it's evil. And I would be a bit, like, I don't know. I wouldn't be able to say no, because they have the rights to my... appearance. So, like, if they want to put me in that game, they can put me in their game. And I'm also, like, I don't, like, it wouldn't keep me up at night or anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just regardless of whether I'm in it. But I'm like, that is something that I'm like, oh. What if, what if they do at Crown Casino, the lazy Susan, puching, pokey machine? The one-armed bandit. Yeah. Um, yeah, yeah, no. No. Yeah, yeah, probably not.

So ugly. So hideous. So ugly. And like, because I, you know, I'm not, I, I, I have actively advertised alcohol before. Mm-hmm. I would consider alcohol and gambling to be on par for destroying people's lives. Mm-hmm. And, like, but I, yeah, I just, I don't know, maybe it's because I don't gamble myself that I find it even worse.

Yeah. But I'm like, at least with a gin that you can, like, do it with friends. Yeah. And, um, yeah. Yeah. Anyway. So, Earthworm Gym. Earthworm Jim?

I'm shocked. I'm, yeah. I mean, I'm getting more out of Chester Cheater than I am out of Earthworm Jim. Whoa. Yeah. I, hmm. I mean, I don't care enough to block this decision, but I am surprised by it. And on Earthworm, and on Jim's behalf.

You made me put the theme song in the episode as well. well. Earthworm Jim. Okay, well, why don't we... You really like advocating for it. Can we do... We're just surprised, is all. Can we do a Michael B. Jordan probation?

Oh, he's on probation. He's on probation. I think, listener, if you want Earthworm Jim to remain in the bunker, you better send in some of the best fucking fan fiction you've ever written. Yeah. And also, I love earthworms. Yes. Oh, I love...

It's raining outside right now. The earthworms are probably so happy. Oh. Do you ever think about that? Yes. They just squelching around. They have a good time. Cute.

They have a good time. Oh. Yeah. But, oh, when you're like digging a hole and you accidentally slice one in half, I didn't mean it. That's okay. You got two worms then. Hmm. I get so sad when they're, like, it's been raining, and then it's sunny, and they're, like, out in the footpath.

And you're like, get back to the... What about when you're walking out of your house before the sun's come up and you hear a crunch and you've stepped on a snail? No, fuck those guys They don't give a shit Oh, I hate that I really don't care about the snails As much as they care about the earthworms Well, it sounds like that you want to put an earthworm in

And not Jim Well, listen, if worse It comes to worse Just with a regular earthworm Okay Well, okay Maybe Earthworm Jim's body will explode into a thousand worms Like oogie boogie sheds

Okay, so Earthworm Jim is on probation Yeah Listener between now and next stock take If you rally behind Jim, maybe his fate will not be so cruel. Okay, we'll be right back. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello. Matt. My getting one too. Yeah. Okay. Look. DJ. No, I love the DJ sound effect.

We've previously talked about this before. And I have advocated strongly for these things not to be in the bunker. And you've... Women. It's all women. There's no men in the bunker. It's all women. anyway.

Pretty much. I just don't like the bugs. So I think we've got the Empress New Groove bug as the movie food. Yeah. And we also have bug rain, but I can't find that on the spreadsheet anyway. That's that bug. But they're falling from the ceiling.

In between the abyss room and the bathroom. Yeah. In the film Shazam. Yes. Right. So we've got a giant isopod colony. Because we've written down that we've got giant isopods and basically in the Emperor's New Groove, they steam them. Yeah.

And then they open up. Yes. Yeah. And you tap them with a spoon and you scoop out the insides of the bug. Yum. It's not good. No. And you put it in knowing that I hated it.

So you're saying... I talked about it and how much I hated it. And you said, let's put it in. Well, we tried to curb you when you were talking like in, you were panting saying how much you wanted that duck in. I did. And we thought, wow. We were like, thank God much in the other room. I know he's beating it right now.

He's beating it to that duck. I only beat it to bushes that look like women. She lives on the peninsula. Around the corner from where Zelda grew up. Okay, so what bugs do we have? We got mosquitoes and bees. I think it's just that one. I just don't like the bug rain and I don't like the food being bugs.

Food being bugs. It's one of my greatest fears. Food. No, eating bugs. Eating bugs. So that's what I, otherwise, I... Would you, do you eat like a Morton Bay? No, that has got bug in the title of its food.

Yeah. But like when you're like on a boozy holiday. No, no. No, seafood is not good. I would eat some fish, but I would not eat seafood. Can you take me through? No, prawn, bad. Prawn bad.

It's basically a bug. It's like a sea bug. It is a sea bug. It is a sea bug? No. Lobster. No, no, no. Hard bug from sea.

What about a muscle? Oh, horrible. Oh, even a muscle. Even the muscles. What about when you walk out in the morning and you step on a muscle? Oh, look, I have a phobia of eating slimy, crunchy things, okay? So it just... What about Okra?

I don't think I eat that on the regular. It's a little bit less because it's like a plant rather than... What about a cookie that's been run under a tap? Yeah. That sounds delicious. That does sound good. I'm going to try that when I get home. Crying.

Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm listening and I'm hearing you. Well, look, the only other thing that I'd, looked through and I thought was a bit strange was we've got the friend group is the Seinfeld group yeah and that's really it's just not really doing much for me we haven't done a lot with them I know and I'm just like do we really need them I think there are better friend groups potentially oh such a say say three no I'm just say them right now let's say them right now Matt

what about us that's very cute but nice way to deflect the question what about okay well why don't we put in the friendship group from that fabulous movie what was called um ants what do you like that well i mean woodie allen oh bugs no bugs life well those bugs life or ants yeah either you're right we should put in all of those characters well that's fine i don't care about bugs i just don't like eating bugs that's where i have what about bug rain what if we yeah what if we change the um

Isopods for earthworms, and everyone eats the earthworms. Oh. The earthworms rain from the ceiling? That's worse. Is that worse or better? I think it's probably worse. I don't know what you want, Matt. Well, if you really stuck on the bugs.

Would you eat a fried worm? Probably. Fried, everything's fine. Oh. But it, because it removes that squash. It removes the crunch of the, not the crunch, the splush of the, the splush of the. the insides coming out. That's what I don't like.

The goose. You would hate. No, I'm not going to say that. Matt, have you ever sucked a dick? And then, an Slam? Um, hmm. You really hesitant, I can tell. But you know, I think it's just so funny to not do it.

Everybody got one, okay? Well, I guess we have to decide. Oh, I mean, we could check the rules with what we said at the start. and it was just opening up the discussion. So if we want to just throw the rules onto one of us to shut down a fabulous option, then no, Matt. We won't be putting out the bug rain.

I think if you can get Brenda to co-sign, I'll happily let you get her to put glasses back on, but Brenda's going to have to come back on and you're going to have to talk to her. Do you know what? I was reading through the other guest bonuses. Mandy moves put squealing pig rosé in. And underneath it actually says,

as a clause cannot be removed. So I feel like Mandy really knew that potentially her thing might get removed. And so she wanted the claws in there that cannot ever be removed. But Brenda didn't specify that. No, Matt. Sorry, it can't be removed. That's ridiculous. The rosé or my bugs?

The bug rain. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not talking about the bug rain. That was put in by us. Oh, was it? So that's up for negotiation. Bug rain is the only, yeah, we can make a decision. I do think about it a lot.

The bug rain. Me too. It is one of the ones that's stuck. Yeah. And so I'd be sad to lose it. Also, I'd be happy for it to continue being rain, but just not as a movie food. Yeah. We could do the shaking green jello from Jurassic Park, dropping from the roof.

What is that? I don't know what that is. Oh, okay. Wait, did I talk about Jurassic World on this podcast? Yes, yes, yes. You described the entire plot. Yeah, no, I did. And you know what, I watched it, Zadana, actually really liked it.

Oh, my God, Matt. Why are you kidding me? You're so crazy. I thought it wasn't as bad as you said it was. What? What did you like about it? I didn't like it. This is rings of power all over again.

I mean, I did just say I quite liked it. But I said, I don't think it was as bad as what you said. Did you see it? I did see it Like, did you pay attention? I did, I watched it Through the whole thing Yes

But I also think that you are very critical Of movies that aren't your demographic That are not aimed at you She is that demographic No, she's not No, no, no Who is that film for? 13 year old boys

That is Zelda's demographic Yeah Can you say the thing you said About your date recently Talk about what films they like? Oh So I went on like I met this cute guy this week

He's not just cute I've seen a picture of this man. He's the stone called Hardy. He's, yeah. Hardy with a body. Yeah. But before we met, we were talking about, I was like, oh, you know, what kind of, like, what's your go-to movie genre?

He was like, oh, anything, but just not like, I don't know, Fantastic Fall. I was like, oh, me too, God. I hate that stuff. Yeah. He lied in the first stage. No, I didn't lie. I just said, oh, yeah. And then you went into your room and ripped down your

catatonic ball poster. Yeah, it was like Vanessa Kirby, get out. You're ruining everything. I wish you really weren't miserable. Covered the lid of your lunch pail. But you know, I mean, he sat in my lounge room and didn't say anything about the gigantic X-Men poster I have on the wall. Oh, God, so they forgot about that.

Right? He didn't, I mean, he didn't say anything. And then later, he said, like, because I've got an Evangelian poster and he was like, I love that. Like, I love Evangeline's like classy. You know what I mean? Like,

that's not Fantastic Four. Yeah. Well, but I did like Fantastic Four. You love it. You love it as much as Matt loves that duck. And those boys in your high school like that bush. And as I like wet cookies from under the tap.

Okay. Well, you got me there. Just don't know. All right. So, well, I'm happy with my second option.

If you don't mind. Seinfeld. Getting rid of the same. Seinfeld friend. I think I'll allow it. Yeah, they got to go. They got to go. Bye, Lane. Sorry. Sorry, Julie Dreyfus. We did put the bicycle on the wall. And I think that can stay. That can be the Seinfeld nod. But yeah, the rest. Yeah, friendship group. Yeah. Do you know a friendship group now that I'm

headlining Meredith. I assume that's what that means. I'm on a headline. I'm going to be at the Meredith Festival But this is dropping one of those seeds Seeding That is absolutely amazing by the way It's so hot It's really bizarre but fabulous But I think about the friendship groups

That all go to festivals together And there's like a really tank guy There's like a girl that wears like a kind of Pescent dress Yeah, with like a macromay bra Yeah, there's a girl that's like dating A skinny guy who's a DJ With a big D Yeah, a massive dig

And there's a girl who She's a fun time girl, she's from England There's like a gay guy who acts straight And they all come in the same like Commodore wagon And they like do the festival over a year together That friendship group is not in Oh good Oh, thank God

That's not it. It's such a clarify. I, I kind of want to go. You need to. Yeah, I've never been. We can do an live episode from inside of a K-hole at the festival. We are, listener, alert, we are really due to live. Yeah, true.

Yeah. Let's get live. Let's get live. Lux. Okay. Yeah. Well. Okay.

No more Seinfeld. Oh! Oh, you're out. Did you go and see Superman in the end? Not yet. And you've seen all this stuff now about the Fantastic Poor. Not doing well. Yeah.

Crash. But it is so interesting, isn't it? Just like, what does success look like? For a film like that? Yeah, but like, well, yeah. Well, it used to be a billion dollars. But now they were saying 700 million would have been the like sweet spot to really make it worth it. Because I think it had like a $250 million budget.

Yeah, okay. Plus another $200 and something million. For marketing. Yeah. Yeah. So you kind of got to hit over. You just need to get $1 more than that and you're in the green. So, yeah, I think they've recouped costs.

It's kind of like they're not losing money on it. Yeah. But it is not a great shine. It's just, it's also just very interesting because, like, for Marvel, because it's like, if not that, what? Like, what will work for them moving forward? Because I think they were really counting on this one. Because it's like separate universe, fresh take,

fresh cast all that stuff and it still hasn't worked despite it also being a great film is the other thing that was just like fun and entertaining it looked beautiful so like if you've created this beautiful looking fun superhero movie that you don't need to do any homework for you can just go and see it and it's still not working what does that mean I just think number one I think people are tired yeah I think people have seen enough but I I also, I'm like, that's, you know, like I've thought that for years, and that's always been the case, so I'm sure. But I also think that fantastic for Vanessa Kirby and Pedro Pascal are not,

well, Pedro is fundamentally not in line with the dream of the American male in America. Correct. At the moment. Yes. He is an immigrant. Mm-hmm. he is like queer coded even if he's straight or whatever he wore that sheer top in Sydney he's an ally to the trans community and I think that whereas Ironman and Batman

that have been like these big moments and like Captain America and that sort of thing are all a bit more masculine yeah no totally and I think that that might be one of the issues It's that it's too soft. Well, even Reid Richards, like, his thing is that he is a genius and that he's stretchy. Yeah. That's, both of those things aren't particularly cool. A flexible man. Now I know I'm reading some science fiction.

Oh, God. Whereas, like, Iron Man is, like, an arms dealer. Yeah. With, like, a shiny suit that makes him fly and blow shit up. Yeah. Or Captain America is... strong, I guess. Well, no, he was a skinny guy that gets strong. True. And, like, goes and he's also a soldier. Yeah. That is, like, the American, like, well, yes.

Core. You know, and yeah. Um, so yeah, it's, I mean, that's, I mean, all of this is why they've brought, um, Robert's back. But, oh, it's going to be so interesting to see how Doomsday does.
