Oh, my God. I thought you were going a bloody second head night. Actually, I didn't even notice it too. It's like a tiny red dot. Anyway, what's your gripe? All right, here's my gripe. By the way, I'm Claire. This is James.

We're married. We recommend you stuff. Yeah, but it's mostly gripes. I don't normally get cross. But this has really got my goat, this gripe. I don't normally get cross, but this has really got my goat, this gripe. Basically, I planted out my second season, my autumn season of vegetables in my vegetable garden, and I spent a lot of time measuring out the things and I put in bok choy, that Chinese cabbage-y thing.

It's delicious. It's for stir fries. And I also planted cauliflower. Great. Let's list all the things that you planted. Well, I came out this morning and they'd grown so well yesterday. They look so juicy and great. And some critter has eaten them all.

Look, I apologize. Did you go and munch all my bok choy seedlings out of the bloody ground? I'd imagine you have some suspects. Yeah, it's that bloody fucking possum that did this to me last time. All right, you know there's a way to get rid of a possum. Bloody possum. I'm not shooting a possum. Bloody possum. I'm not shooting a possum in my own backyard. No, a cricket bat, Claire.

You hit it with a – no, you get a possum trap. All right, you get a possum trap. It's like a giant rat trap and it just crushes its neck. Is this something that your parents did? No, a possum trap is like a cage. It catches it safely and then you're supposed to take them out somewhere else and let them go, like miles away so they don't find a way back. That's what your parents did.

Yeah, everyone does it. It's like if they get caught in the roof or whatever. Everyone does it. Who out of your friends other than your parents that you know have caught a possum in a trap? We live in the bush. Of course there's possums. We live in the fucking wilderness.

I am happy for the possums to live around here. You don't seem like you are, Claire. But they're very active at the moment. They be screeching. I don't know if anyone knows about thinking about possums. They're very cute in Australia, but they sound like some kind of horrible serial banshee at night time. They really sound like they're screaming.

I just want to point out the dog's been doing her job as well, trying to get that possum out of here. Yeah. She's been patrolling at night. She has. She's been barking. Yeah, she was probably aware of it. She's been doing more than you've been doing.

Yeah, because the possum in the night jumps when I'm working in here and it thunders across the roof. And it goes, ah, and then it jumps into the tree. Yeah. Yeah, and I found the pathway. It got to my bok choy, my bloody bok choy that no longer exists. That fucker. So I'm so mad.

I love my garden. You know how much I love my garden? Anyway, it crawled down. I'm a pregnant woman and I'm angry. It crawled down the branch of our beautiful tree that kind of leans over and provides some shade for my veggie patch, and it jumped from there into the bloody garden. Yeah, but it's not like it's a Fort Knox.

It's like a foot tall high garden. Yeah, I know. Anybody could get into that. Anyway, I'm really pissed off. Yeah, I can tell. I'm disgruntled. Do you want me to get this possum? No.

I want you to recommend something. Let's get this bloody program started. Well, I recommend catching a possum and letting it loose in your bedroom. In your bedroom? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What would it do in your bedroom? Just a bunch of cool stuff. Cartwheels and, you know, songwriting.

You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to trap it. Then I'm going to tie it onto a chair and then I'm going to interrogate it with a torch. Did you take my bok choy? Was it you? That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to circle the frigging possum until it tells me the truth.

Yeah. Yeah, that seems a very reasonable thing to do. You should do that. But, look, while you're doing that, I'm going to recommend my first thing this week, Claire. Can't a woman just grow some bok choy in her backyard? It's every woman's right i've been i've always said that the show that i'm recommending it's uh it's a british american comedy series by chris addison simon blackwell and martin freeman who people would know from the office and the hobbit and uh various other things

from the years it's called breededers. It's about parenting. So if you're like, oh, my God, I hate parenting, you're not going to like it. Or you will like it because it's also about having kids and how you hate it or whatever. Cool. And, look, I feel like there is a lot of these right now. Yeah, does it make you feel like is it too close to home? No, not really.

Or is it more like solidarity? We're out of it a bit more than this kind of show is, even though we're about to go back into it with a newborn. Yeah, I wouldn't say it's incredibly revolutionary because there's a lot of like parenting is hard now and whatever and, you know, because you used to be cool and drink at the pub and now you've got a kid and the friends and they don't, you know, they don't see him anymore and whatever.

It's all of that. But it's just it's a well-handled version of that starring Martin Freeman also. He has incredible anger management problems as well. So he like yells at his kids and swears or whatever. And he's like, and like every time he's like, okay, I'm not going to swear. I'm not going to lose my cool. But then he always does. And it's also about other parents and picking the right schools and what's best for your kids, but what's best for your sanity and all of those things, all of those things that happen, you know, when you're a parent. So it's, you know,

it's good. It's not amazing. I've only watched two because there's only been two so far, but, you know, I enjoy it. I like the parents that have been cast in it. Breeders. And where do you watch it? You probably said I didn't hear you. It's on Fox Island Australia, but if you've got other streaming services and say a VPN, Hulu and FX is other ways you can access it as well.

I see. Breeders. Yeah, breeders. All right. We recently had a barbecue at our house and it occurred to me that we are breeders because when you have kids, you suddenly fall into this weird vortex where all everybody talks about is kids. Even when all the people that came over to my house, we went to uni together

and we usually talk about like many other things. We talked about nothing else except children. It's a nightmare. It's an absolute nightmare. It's a difficult time. Gosh, we have big problems, hey. Oh, my God. A bloody possum eats your bok choy and talking too much about your kids.

We do love them, though. Not the possum. I love the possum. Possum's part of our family. It lives in that tree. It's not part of my bloody family, I'll tell you what. Is that it? That's all you had to say about it?

I don't really have anything else to say about it. Yeah, it's, I mean, you know. It sounds good. I'm into it. I actually would really love that. I think you might enjoy it, yeah. Cool. Do you like people screaming at their kids?

There's a moment where, like, he gets his kids to sleep and there's two, like, drunk guys, like, arguing out the front and he goes out in his dressing gown and he's like, hey, shut up or I'll kill you. I'll kill you. And they kind of laugh it off. They don't take him seriously. But I thought that was really funny. He's like, I'll just kill you. I'll kill you and then I'll kill you. I'll kill you. And they kind of laugh it off. They don't take it seriously. But I thought that was really funny. He's like, I'll just kill you.

I'll kill you and then I'll kill you. I thought that was really funny. So kind of some of the stuff that you wish that you could say. I'm pretty sure I've also said that to people. You never said that. Not to my knowledge. So my first recommendation, which one will I do? I'll do the fun ones first because I've got a depressing one, but it's great. So I have just been listening to a bunch of podcasts because

for some reason, my prego brain is not able to handle reading novels, mainly because I fall asleep at night. That's unusual. I know. No, but like early, it's annoying. Who cares? That's boring. So I've listened to two really great interviews recently, which I bloody loved. One is No Filter, which is a podcast with Mia Friedman, where she interviews Tim Minchin, who is one of my favourite Australian composers slash comedians slash musical geniuses. Writers.

He does everything. He's so good. Fitness fanatic. Yeah, exactly. It's just really interesting he tells the story of a how he sort of went from being like a guy who plays in bands and writes amateur musical theater um and he's a comedian to you know being a pretty famous dude and how he wrote the musical matilda which is one of my favorite musicals of all time, so brilliant. And then he talks about how he went to LA and then worked

on an animation for four years, which he felt like was his opus, basically, put all his heart and soul into it with all these amazing creators. And then one of the studio he was creating it for, which I think might have been Pixar, was taken over and then it just got canned. The whole project got canned and none of his work you will ever see the light of day.

Yeah, it's called Larrikins. The animation. It's a DreamWorks animation. Ah, okay. Yeah, and he just. I thought it starred Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie and Naomi Watts. Oh, I thought it was in the Disney merger, but no, it was DreamWorks. So DreamWorks did like Shrek and stuff like that.

Ah, okay. Yeah, it's like it sounds amazing and he's incredible. So his music is just so awesome. So I'm so sad. I wonder, I would love to see a part of it. I wonder what it's actually like. It was four years in. There's probably quite a lot of it.

Well, yeah, he said it was 75% made, which in animation land, my God, the work that was put into that. That's 75% of the work, isn't it? Correct. Anyway, so that podcast is called No Filter. The other one I listen to is Oprah's Super Soul Sunday. Did you see Oprah fell over recently and everyone was like, oh, my God. No, I missed that.

Oprah, I love her. Yeah, she was on stage and she was talking about balance and whatever and then she fell over. She's fine. Oh, I shouldn't laugh. That's not funny. It's a little bit ironic. It's honestly, yeah.

Well, she's fine. I wouldn't be like check it out oprah fell over she really hurt herself no all right here you go why am i watching this video showing you how she falls over look at this though heels it's heels man it's no good way she's saying like i love fitness and balance and lifestyle she's like you can change too i don't see her falling over she's standing in a lovely white pantsuit. It's all about the balance between... This is terribly boring. Oh!

She's okay. It was a big fall. Nah, it wasn't that big. Oh, it was pretty big. It wasn't a stumble. You know what? The older you get though, what's that expression? The more you stumble. When you're young, you have an accident. But when you're old, you have a fall. It's like, oh. Oh yeah, that's true. Oh no. And I read that if you crack your hip, you're done you have a fall it's like oh yeah that's true oh no and i

read that if you crack your hip you're done for you may as well shoot yourself at any age or shoot a possum yeah so anyway this super soul sunday podcast is great it's sometimes a little bit sometimes it's a bit a little bit too um woo woo but i still really love her and i love it and this particular episode is with michelle Obama, who is just bloody awesome and everything she does is amazing. And so it's just a really great interview. Yes. Everything.

She's bloody great. Her book Becoming, holy dooly moly, holy. It's so good. I love that book. I would totally recommend Becoming. I don't know if I've spoken to her about, about it on this podcast before, but it's kind of her memoir. It's just incredible.

It just makes you feel it's vulnerable. It talks about like their marriage and difficulties and what it's like to suddenly find yourself in the White House and all that kind of stuff and it's just awesome. What is it like to find yourself in the White House? I don't know. What did she say? When I get you there, I'll tell you.

All right. Just strange, I think. It's just a really strange place to be. Sure. Yeah, I mean, and it's just like anytime you go anywhere, you have a motorcade with like 1,000 cars that follow you. And you can't open any of the windows. Yeah.

Which would drive me crazy. Because people jump in and shoot you. Correct. I guess so. Yeah. Anyway, so those two podcasts I would totally recommend. And the other little sneaky thing I want to throw in there is have you seen the Elizabeth Warren and Kate McKinnon TikTok little video?

Oh, by the switch. Yeah, it's bloody gone viral. I bloody loved it. I've watched it a thousand times because I love Elizabeth Warren. I think she's brilliant. Do you love Kate McKinnon as well? And I love Kate McKinnon. Yeah.

And it's just, there's something about it. I've watched it over and over again. It never gets old. Bloody love it. It's Drake's song, Flip the Switch. I think the song's called I Groom Women Until They're of Age and then I Date Them. I think that's the song.

That's Drake's most famous song, is it? Oh, I guess it is. That's the soundtrack to his life. Yep. God. Well, anyway, I really enjoyed it and because life is very confusing at the moment with the coronavirus and all the scary things that are happening, I just watched that on repeat instead. Yeah, wash your hands too. Also,

your phone is like a third hand. So make sure you watch that also. Keep it clean. Gross. eats but iced tea and ice cream yes we can deliver that uber eats get almost almost anything order now product availability may vary by region see app for details your turn all right this is a segment of the show that we always bring every week it's called no judgment don't judge me on this one right that's never been a segment my favorite thing to do is judge you see that thing is you know that i'm judging you've, because of your pregnancy brain, you've forgotten, but this is actually a recurring segment. Don't try and pregno-brain me.

I'm very witty and wily. What I thought I would do this week, I thought, I'm going to go out and watch something that I wouldn't normally watch. Like what's the opposite of something I would watch, right? That's clever. So what I did on Netflix, and I keep seeing it like trending on Twitter, it's a show called. Escape to the Country.

Grand Designs with Kevin MacLeod. I love that show. This is nothing like that. This is Love is Blind. It's from the producers of Married at First Sight, right? Oh, no. Yes. Oh, the judgment is bubbling up in my heart.

I don't know if you've ever seen a second of that show, but good Lord. Yeah, Married at First Sight. Yeah. So it's huge everywhere in the world. It's like, good, let's get the worst people in the world and put them together. I just hate it because the whole premise is you're just sitting around judging people who have mental illness who clearly should not be

on a television show. Yeah, but also really want to be on a television show. Yeah, I think it's really awfully depressing and sad. Everyone can enjoy what they want to enjoy. Exactly. It's 30 people in a house and it's 15 women and 15 men and they're on separate sides of the house and they can't see each other but there's these pods that are in the middle and you go in and it's like blind dating so you form a relationship with somebody over a period of time it's a reality

tv show obviously yeah you look really embarrassed no. Just let me get out this premise. And then over a week or two weeks whether in this house and they get to know this person, if they both decide that they're a good match, the one then proposes to the other and then when that two or three weeks is over, then they go to a resort if they've got a partner and then they spend actual time together the month leading up to the wedding. Hang on, but they don't see each other.

No, they do. They do after the two weeks. Oh, but the first two weeks. Yeah, so it's supposed to be not based on looks. It's based on personality. It's a lot of people, what do you look for in a person? It's like, well, you know, I think personality is really important. And it's just.

Totally, I don't think personality is important. The thing about it is, though, I'll give it this. It's fucking horrible. And I's just. Totally, I don't think. The thing about it is, though, I'll give it this. It's fucking horrible. And I hate it. And it's not even one of those things like I'm four in, right? You've watched four. Yeah. Because I needed to know, right?

And I don't want to watch anymore. Like I'm not hooked. I hate everyone in it. It's terrible. I hate everyone in it. It's terrible. It's just sad, broken people pouring out their emotions, which probably aren't even real in the first place, like just lunatics interacting and being exploited

and then forced to get in a relationship so they'll eventually start fighting. That's what it is. It's fucking embarrassing. It's terrible. It's a terrible show. This is supposed to be suggestible. I know, but I just think it's fucking embarrassing it's terrible it's a terrible show this is supposed to be suggestible i know but i just think it's important that people know that look and it's

not for me like i know that right i don't think it's as bad as doing the nostril yeah i don't think it's as bad as married at first sight which i think is way more exploitive of people and yeah in a way that this there is like a sincerity to this, which I think is also painful because it's like, well, you're on television and you kind of look like a fool, that kind of thing, you know? Oh, God, yeah. And it's people like, well, I just want to be loved for who I am.

Well, that's a very noble goal. Yeah, but you're on TV. Who do you want else to be loved? I just really want to be loved for not actually me. Also, but they're not like – they're not unattractive people either. Yeah. You know? Like the ones that are like, you know, I used to be worried because I was this or whatever.

I'm like, you're now a very attractive person, so don't even worry about it. You're fine. Don't even stress. So, yeah, it's just, I don't know, it's a horrible show. See, this is what worries me because, look, each to their own. Everyone, you know, watch what you like. And I have myself fallen into the big brother watching of reality TV. And I used to watch The Bachelor even for a little while.

But the thing that gets me about reality TV, especially now, because it's like this moving, evolving beast, it's just getting worse and worse. And what worries me is exactly what you just said before, that it's like this moving, evolving beast. It's just getting worse and worse. And what worries me is exactly what you just said before, that it's exploitative. And I read an article that was really interesting, I can't remember what it was, maybe in the cut, about the effects of reality TV after the fact,

reality TV stardom and what it does to people's mental and physical health, and because there's really not much support after they finish these shows. And if you watch that show Unreal, which is like a drama based on the producers of reality television for a show similar to The Bachelor, it just goes into just how contrived all the settings are, how much the producers egg people on, how much they throw alcohol in the mix to kind of get the best drama out of people. I'm not talking about you, but I've definitely talked about Mason

on our other show. Talked about Mason. Talked about Mason to Mason. Cool. Hey, Mason. I think Mason's cool. For like The Bachelor. So they've got this dude who, you know, he goes and does whatever.

He does crunches for three months. Then he's always staring into the distance so we get a ball. Yeah, whatever. He's in like a linen white shirt, whatever. And then he furiously dry humps and makes out with all the women in the house. And he's like, I've got a connection to you, et cetera, whatever. And then they put like, and it's the same if it's the opposite, if it's a bachelorette, they put 20 or 30 people in a house

and they're not allowed any social media or I'm sure we've talked about this. Yeah, they've got nothing. They can't do anything. There's nothing to do. Sometimes there's no gym so they're just allowed any social media or I'm sure we've talked about this. Yeah, they've got nothing. They can't do anything. There's nothing to do. Sometimes there's no gym so they're just running up and down stairs or whatever and they just drink and just turn on each other. And then once a week the one guy in the universe comes in. Or the girl depending on if it's the bachelorette.

And if you don't get picked it's like devastating. So you could be there for months. So you're focused on this one guy and then he takes you on a helicopter or whatever and then dry humps you for an hour and a half. And then you go back to the other girls. They've all experienced the same thing. And they're like, I can't believe you organised this picnic on top of the Eiffel Tower.

It's like, well, did he do any of this? I thought you'd rule it like it, did you? Yeah, I knew. I wanted to do something special for Melanie. Yeah, I know. To be fair, I got sucked in because, you know, I love a romance. I'm all for the romance. Yeah, it's a reason it's popular.

And I got sucked in particularly at the beginning because Osher Gunsberg, who you've been on his podcast, Dad Pod, he's cool. He hosts the Australian version and I genuinely believe that he and has believed in the concept of the show of finding love. I know that, yeah. We're both excellent friends with Osher Gunzberg, so yeah. But I just think at the start of the Australian version anyway, it really was much more about finding love and obviously making good TV,

but, you know, I think people have got more and more cynical as it goes along and also producers are looking for people who are more and more, I guess, having a lot of issues, mental health issues, really, who are then willing to kind of exploit themselves on TV. Because I think the people watching it also, they are looking for, you know, they're looking for characters. But they want to see genuine connection and love and all that. People want to see that.

I'm not saying it can't exist on television. That's why I loved watching it at the beginning. But anyway, yes. Okay. So you do not suggest people watch Love Is Blind. But you know what? There is something to be said for watching things outside of what you would normally watch. Spanning your horizons. Thank you.

I'm a hero in many ways. You are a hero. You're right. I should do that too. I'll do that for next week. I'll watch something totally out of my comfort zone. Did you think it was going to be anything like that? I'll go watch The Invisible Man and spook myself.

No, you can't. I can do it. No, you can't. I can bloody do anything I like. You can't. I am woman, hear me roar. If you're looking that way. I will watch scary TV if I want to.

If you're looking for a stress-free pregnancy or whatever, you should not watch that because you're going to give our baby anxiety if you watch that. Oh, no. Because that's how it works, isn't it? That's how it works. No, if you want to watch it, you should watch it. You know when a kid's anxious anxious it's because their parents have watched

too many spooky movies that's true i don't think so you laugh to go on a roller coaster pregnant i don't think so i think they won't let you either i think that's the man like could you go and have like certain massages or whatever yeah i went to get a massage and they were like no first trimester no massage for you. I was like, oh. Anyway, side note, okay, I have got something to recommend now. Is it depressing? Yeah, it's super depressing.

But it's really important watching and interesting. So it's called Stateless. It's just been released on our Australian Broadcast Network, but it will be once all the episodes come out, it will be released onto Netflix. Right. So currently it's on the Australian Broadcasting Network, the ABN, correct? The ABN or the corporation, whatever it is, the ABC.

It's on ABC. I'm here if you're in Australia. And there's two episodes that have dropped so far. It was created actually, interestingly, by Cate Blanchett, Tony Ayres and writer Elise McCready. So Elise McCready is the writer with Belinda Chayko. It's directed by Emma Freeman and Jocelyn Morehouse. And the composer for the score is Cornell Wilczek.

I've totally butchered those names. So there's just one season with six episodes and the production company's Matchbox of Dirty Films. You're just listing names. What is it, Claire? All right. What is this show? I just think it's really interesting how something like this gets made, particularly because it's such an Australian story.

Yeah, but what is it? Okay, shut up. It centres on four strangers in an immigration detention centre in the Australian desert. So it's a sharp look at our immigration policy, which immediately makes you go, oh, God, this is really heavy going. But the way that they've crafted it around four different stories. So there's an airline hostess escaping a suburban cult, an Afghan refugee fleeing persecution, a young Australian father

escaping a dead end job. And then he becomes a guard in the detention center. And then a bureaucrat caught up in a national scandal and their lives intersect while they're pushed to the brink of sanity, yet unlikely and profound emotional connections are made between them. And it's just, it's really compelling watching. Each of the stories is really different. Cate Blanchett is in it in the first episode, but she's a minor character. So the woman who ends up kind of escaping from a suburban cult is Yvonne Strahovski from The Handmaid's Tale. She plays Sophie Werner. Asha Keddie, who I love, if you have not watched Offspring,

that's on Netflix and she is brilliant in that, amazing Australian actress. And she plays the bureaucrat kind of going in to try and sort things out in the detention centre. Faisal Bazzi plays Amir, whose family are fleeing Afghanistan and that storyline is, ooh, it's full on. It's really devastating but really well done. Well done.

Well done. Yeah, anyway, so there's just some really, really great characters all kind of bound up together in there and I'd really recommend giving it a watch. of bound up together in there. And I'd really recommend giving it a watch. I think what's kind of compelling too is the way that they depict the detention centres, because our immigration policy in Australia is a national disgrace. And we have these really remote desert locations where detention centres are kind of placed. And so you get a sense of the hopelessness and the kind of limbo

that these people are in because they're not criminals. They're seeking legal refugee status, which they're allowed to do, and they're placed into what is essentially a prison. And then also what kind of grabbed me too was the guard and how it's this lovely bloke really with a family who was in a dead-end job and wants to make things better and he gets this job in an attendance center and he's initially out there just trying to do the best he can you know he puts swing sets up for the kids and you know trying to pump up

their balls so they can play soccer and you know doing all these things and then some of the stuff he witnesses he just sort of experiences a lot of trauma and then is conflicted because the other guards are telling him he needs to be tougher on them and treat them differently. And he sees one man being beaten up and there's a dawning realisation that his role is not to be a caretaker, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Yeah. So anyway, it's really heartbreaking and I think a really clever look. Kate Blanchett really has spearheaded this project and it's been kind of four years in the making. But her hands are all, her work is all over it and I think it's a really, really great and important issue to watch.

Is it all out there? No, only the first two episodes. I love episodes of things. Yeah, so I really, I think you'd really like it actually. I'm busy, I'm watching Lovers in a house or whatever. Anyway, I think it'd really like it actually. I'm busy. I'm watching Lovers in a house or whatever. Anyway, I think it's really compelling. Yvonne Strahovski is brilliant as Serena in The Handmaid's Tale and she plays a very different character in this but it's really great.

So, yeah. Great. That's it. I think that's the show, isn't it? That's it. That's the show. Yeah, I've got one last because we have a tiny squidge of time. Sure.

I have a recipe too, James. You know, I've always got a recipe. Always on the brain. You look tired. You look like you're right full of sleep. We had an important meeting this morning. We did. It was early.

We both tried and the dog kept us up and the possum. Oh, mate. Good luck colleagues editing this bloody episode. Anyway, this recipe I made over the weekend, it's always a success. People love it. It's called glass potatoes. They're basically roast potatoes, but done- With shattered glass in it. You just mix them up through. Crunch, crunch, munch, munch. The recipe is in Annabelle Crabbe's cookbook, Special Guest.

And really, you just get big kestrel potatoes. You don't even peel them, which is the joy of it. You just boil them in a pot for half an hour. Then you put them straight into a big pan. You pour over a whole cup of olive oil and a whole tablespoon of salt. I know this is not an everyday recipe. It's for special occasions, but it's so bloody delicious. And then you just roast it in a really hot oven for like an hour or two. And then the bottom, like they become like glassy, crispy, salty, delicious chips on the bottom of these potatoes.

And because you've kind of squashed them a bit after they've been parboiled, they're kind of just, oh, they're so good. They're kind of soft and fluffy in the middle but crispy and crunchy and delicious. I didn't even eat one. I'm doing low carbs because I just looked at them and I walked away. He has no joy, no joy at all. I don't need joy.

You don't need joy. You don't need joy. You don't. I've got fitness. You needed a lot of bloody joy in your life, mate. You look constantly disappointed with everything. Anywho, this will make you less. I've got fitness and I've got water. That's all I need.

And your weird no sugar colas that you're drinking. It's really good. Yeah. You say that. This is what happens to you when you're on your health kicks. You start to think. Would you rather me drink an actual can of Coke? No, of course I wouldn't.

That stuff, I mean, is not terribly good for you. Okay. Do you have a review? I do. You can do it in app. Open your app. Give it a five stars or your iTunes, whatever you got. This is from Ferguson.

It says, of all the podcasts, this is one of them. Claire really drives this podcast, keeping co-hosts Jimmy Monday films. Oh, that was supposed to be for pushing the robots on the story. I thought you were doing songs. You were like, ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. I'm guessing every minute of the 30-ish pod with suggestions on everything from recipes to books to comics to movies to TV shows,

all that have to do with robots and the end of the world. Don't let the lack of a catchy intro song fool you. I highly suggest you listen to Suggestible. There you go. We do need a cool. A cool intro song. Yeah, but that'll just take our time away from our sweet dulcet tones. It's true.

Maybe we should get one. I'll sing one. Please. Suggestible pod is a pod to suggest things on. Yeah. What did you think? I didn't listen, to be pod to suggest things on. Yeah. What did you think? I didn't listen, to be honest. I was on my phone.

Oh, that's it. You make sure you've washed it. You don't want to be getting coronavirus from your phone. I hope I do. Yeah. It'd be a good excuse to stay indoors. What do you mean? You basically stay indoors anyway.

Yeah, but more so. All this self-quarantining, that's your whole life. It doesn't bother me at all. You do that anyway. Yeah, I know. They're like, don't goining, that's your whole life. It doesn't bother me at all. You do that anyway. Yeah, I know. They're like, don't go to work. No worries. Don't go to a public.

Done. No worries. Don't go to the supermarket. My wife will do it. Don't get on a train at 7 a.m. Okay. I won't. You've been washing your hands a lot anyway.

Good point. Hey, if anyone is worried about the coronavirus. You should be. No. I highly recommend going on to Jacinda Ardern's Instagram and Facebook. She has a brilliant video and is also suitable for kids too that explains the coronavirus in just like really calm, measured, simple ways that don't kind of make you – because all these news reports

that have like outbreak on them is ridiculous. You'll need to calm down, wash your hands, be sensible. Most people who get the virus even, it'll be like a mild cold. Anyway, but she explains it really well. She has two scientists with her and it's really good. She even has a squishy toy to show what a virus looks like. Oh, cool. Really love it.

She's great, that woman. If you would like to write to us with your very own suggestion, we would love that. And you can email us. Whoop, whoop. It's at, sorry, suggestiblepod at gmail.com. That's suggestiblepod at gmail.com. I'm so proud.

Hey wait I'm sorry I'm terribly tired Me too Let's go and do something else Okay so this is from Chris McDougall G'day suggest suggestible mob. Oh, I like that.

A real quick recommendation. Ecosia.org is a search engine Google alternative. All the money they make from ads, et cetera, is used to plant trees and fight climate change. It's a bit like pissing on a bushfire, but every bit helps, and so far they've planted about 80 million trees. Good luck with the new bub. My three-year-old makes very compelling arguments both for

and against a sequel. We've been there, my friend. Cheers, Chris. Really appreciate your email, mate. Oh, happy to do it. Sharp, sharp. Excellent. Thank you so much.

Hey, folks, it's Mark Maron from WTF. I travel all over North America doing stand up and it's always good to know Airbnb is an option when I'm away from home. But if you're away from home, why not take your own place and Airbnb it? Airbnb your whole home to make some extra cash. Or if you have a spare room that's not in use, just Airbnb that. Whether you could use extra money to cover some bills or for something a little more fun, your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at Airbnb.ca slash host.
