I'm Ben, that's Ronnie, what's going on Ronnie? Well hello, Ben! Hi! So everyone, welcome to the show. This is our little house hunters side thing that we do here.
Starting point is 00:00:54 This is season two of dwell hello. If you really like season two, you can go back and listen to season one, which is available exclusively on Stitcher Premium. It's ten episodes, really fun stuff. So go check that out. And basically what we do is we sit here and we recap House Hunters, House Hunters International, et cetera.
Starting point is 00:01:14 And this today is actually going to be our first House Hunters International of this season. Yeah, we've really been lacking with our House Hunters International. You know, we just get into lacking with our house hunters internationally. We just get into a, like I guess a... Get into a groove. What do you call it? Yeah, and to a groove.
Starting point is 00:01:31 And also, just a lot of these are from your all's requests that you're leaving us on Instagram and Twitter and stuff. So thank you. This one is halt larry. This is house hunters. What? Okay, I will learn to talk today. Sorry, I don't even know what's wrong with me.
Starting point is 00:01:45 It's the end of the week for us. So we're kind of like, wall, wall. It's House Hunters International, season 162, episode 12. It's called Spiritual Life in the Blue Mountains. And we found this one on YouTube to, no, just go for your YouTube. This one was on YouTube TV. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:02 So let's just dive into it. Let's just embrace our inner raky healers and talk about spiritual life in the Blue Mountain Show. So we open up it's sort of like the preamble of the show. And we just sort of see a very soft spoken guy, what we would call a tame gay, although it was never established if he's gay or not, but one can assume.
Starting point is 00:02:24 And he's like, love that we get to call this place home. And then his wacky friend, who's like, maybe, I know, I'm not going back to the city. How about you? And they're just looking at the mountain, you know, like it's the coolest thing they've ever seen. It's a mountain. Wow. And so this is in like a jeans vest and like kind of a scarf thing and she's an eternal neck and a vintage, you know, like vintage glasses. So, he's very scarred. He's very scarred.
Starting point is 00:02:55 He's very dressed very much like who they are. He's like kind of a trendy gay who moved to this place to be spiritual but he's like an invest in a scarf, you know what I mean? And then she's like, look, I don't wear hair product anymore because I don't work in an office now. And I got different glasses. So then the the house hunters narrator who we call and comes in and says best friends, Kyle and Stacy are trading their corporate jobs for more spiritual life in the Blue Mountains of Australia and they have specific needs for their home.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And then we get a picture of what they used to be, the people that they used to be before they found their souls, okay? And she's like, look at me, I have eyeliner and my glasses are fancy and my hair is combed. And I just have one question, and this has been bugging me for a long time. Why do people who are all spiritual, like these people are under rakey? Why do they hate hair product? Is there something in hair product?
Starting point is 00:03:55 It just is like, kills the earth? I mean, what is it? Probably. I mean, I'm sure she likes like an organic or natural hair product, but given the way that we see they treat trees later in this episode and things from the natural world, I think they're probably not so into chemicals or unnatural abuses of the natural world, which
Starting point is 00:04:18 might be what you would find in like a bumble and bumble. I don't know. in like a bumble and bumble, I don't know. I don't know. So he's like, we're both reeky healers, which is like reiki, but we're true reiki healers. So we say reiki instead of reiki. So, you know, sorry, Posers. We also have a Roku TV where we watch reiki specials and until now we're, but we're more into reiki. When it smells in here, I say, wow, it's really reiki in here.
Starting point is 00:04:43 It's my bad use. We want to be somewhere where there's lots of leaves that way we can go out to the lawn and rake a little bit. Recall it raky, but you know. So they have very specific needs for their home and Kyle, who's the guy, is like, I want a quiet nature type place and if there are neighbors, it's important guy, he's like, I want a quiet nature type place, and if there are neighbors, it's important that they pronounce it reeky.
Starting point is 00:05:09 If they say reeky, I'm gonna bring down the mountains. So, and Stacy is like, well, as long as I'm not too far out, because I need to go into town to watch all my favorite Christina Ricci movies, it's very... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh pink blazer, an Aussie guy, and lots of hair product. It's like the office. It's like what they're leaving behind. This guy's right. He also looks like my family friend growing up Donna's
Starting point is 00:05:51 equipment. This was America. He would own a Palm Springs Piano bar. He's like that kind of guy. So this was America. He would actually be on his own episode of House Hunters looking for a condo in Dustin Florida. Yeah. Okay, I'll go with that. Um, so Kyle wants a healing space and we see clips of them that we're going to see later in the show, but it's like them skipping around backyards because we're child black. Now let me tell you, people, people who really, I'm not saying all spiritual people,
Starting point is 00:06:27 but I'm saying people who like that's their personality, like we are raky people. And I whisper, I whisper everything. Okay, that guy's a bitch from hell. That guy's a control, free bitch from hell. And she's a maniac who if you don't call her back, she will be outside of your office, like slowly eating an apple.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Like they're crazy. People like say, slowly eating an apple. Oh. Oh. And the answer is you, that is so accurate. It's like, it's devastating.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Yeah. It's not just like a normal apple. It's like a very specific apple. Well, it's probably got like one of those wormholes in it, you know, because it's like all natural. She got it like off the side of a freeway somewhere. She's probably very, very proud of herself that she subscribes ugly foods.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Yes, she's definitely like an ugly carrot eater. You know, that's ugly. Yeah, like a carrot. Yeah, here's the carrots that you don't see because half of them are wasted while they make them pretty carrots from ground-free straw. And I guarantee she doesn't peel her carrots. I'm just gonna say that right now.
Starting point is 00:07:29 She probably has some reason, but she does not peel her carrots. Yes, that just goes to show you that if you really study somebody long enough, you can find something in common with everybody because I hate peeling the carrot. What a waste. Do you not peel carrots?
Starting point is 00:07:43 I don't. Actually, I don't. I don't like I start in a British? I don't actually. I don't know why I started in the British way, but I watched them really hard because it's an international episode. So you know, so I scrub them really hard and then I cut them and then I cooked them. Now if I'm eating them raw, I just buy peeled ones already. Yeah. Well, so we let's let's get into it. So we are in the blue mountains of Australia and Kyle and Stacy that's their names. They're taking a walk and Stacy Stacy's just like prattling on and she's like well It was a good call that you move your car off the road there because all the hairper and turns whatever
Starting point is 00:08:18 I'm like Kyle. This is who you're living with now You're searching for peace and tranquility and she's prattling on about like how you parked your car in the blue mountain. Yeah. She's like, wow, there were just such tight turns to get here. And I mean, there was nowhere to park. You're in the, are you already bitching about the amenities and fucking nature, Stacey? Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:37 You're reiki-cartes revoked, Stacey. You're not in studio city. Okay. The roads are windian narrow. You're in a mountain. I love when House Hunter hunters gives us a theme And they really go with it. So this one it's like it opened with a big gong because it's Ricky And so now the music instead of the normal like
Starting point is 00:08:54 It's nature music, so it's just a flute and I think they just got someone's kid They were like just use your recorder and just play with ever because the flute's like They were like just use your recorder and just play with ever cuz the flu is like I've like I definitely heard some didgeridoo and I'm not even being funny I thought I had some didgeridoo during throughout the episode You know cuz it was yeah, we're trying to be like of the land, etc Yeah, so there's some didgeridoo. Yeah, there's some didgeridoo So Kyle's telling us Stacey and I met 13 years ago, and it feels like the universe wanted us to meet
Starting point is 00:09:27 before we realized it, realized it, which is really terrible for me because I really can't stand her. And she's followed me here. I tried to go across the globe and she's still here with me. I know, little does he know she's got an air tag in this backpack for sure. And
Starting point is 00:09:46 she's like, yeah, the universe is totally into us. Shut up, Stacy. And they're looking over at mountain. He goes, wow, it's just so expansive up here. Yeah, Kyle, it's a mountain. Don't take those cramped mountains that are cheek by gel.. So they've just been inseparable and they've been living together. And then Stacy, they're just like walking along and she picks a flower and she's like, hmm, you can smell this one. I don't think it's a eucalypt. If it doesn't have much of a smell, I think I like the eucalypt better, which concludes this episode of Stacy's Thoughts on Eucalypt.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Smell it, smell it! Is that a flower? No, it's stuck my finger up my butt. Gotcha! Gotcha! He's like, she is so disgusting. God I love her. So they lived in Chicago and while our jobs weren't exactly stimulating and basically our spiritual journeys began. I mean, nothing like a deep dish pizza and a hot dog
Starting point is 00:10:45 from Portillo's to make you say, God, I want to focus on spirituality. So then we see a picture of them when they first met and he's got really bad bleach hair. Look really bad. So spirituality did help his hair, just not hers, because he looks way better. So he's like, yeah, and I love that maybe we can get to
Starting point is 00:11:05 call this place home soon. And she says, maybe I'm going back to the city. How about you? Yeah, so we hear, we do hear a sad anecdote, which is not an anecdote, but a chapter in his life, which is that his brother died by suicide. So he really wants to get like a change, et cetera. So he went abroad for a year to Sydney to get his MBA and then he just fell in love
Starting point is 00:11:28 and stayed in Australia. Right. And then here's what crazy pants it in. She's like, well I visited him and when I ended up going to walks in the mountains, I looked around me and I said, why would I want to be anywhere else? He's like, and I was like, ah, I'm being pulled. To the mountains. No, by you, memory you were pulling me.
Starting point is 00:11:50 He's saying, you're gonna move in with me, he can't. I unfortunately was up to my eyeballs and student debt, so I couldn't actually afford to leave Australia. So here we are, living together. And I said, you know what? why don't we build a business together? So he's been able to be a mountain man here with me. Here we are. Let's take a wacky selfie of the mountains. So that yeah, they take a wacky selfie. And then their big business is that they want to do something to help the planet. So they have a product that has a
Starting point is 00:12:22 soil nutrient mix that is you use it with ashes to grow a living memorial to the loved ones. So I mean, it's what's it gonna be on everyone's Christmas list this year? Mima. I mean, Maltry. I mean, do I really need that? I'd like a tree outside my window just saying, are you really gonna eat that too? outside my window just saying, are you really gonna eat that too? No, it's not what I need. By the way, my Mimma still alive. So sorry for killing you off early. For those regard memes.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Well, we can use mine. It's a tree for grandma Silvia or grandma Sally. So then Milton, we now we meet the realtor Milton player. His name is Milton player. And he is like the blue Mountains is a national wonderland in reality which is a phrase I like to say a lot in reality in reality the different vibe and feel to other areas is this it's actually there's different hubs. Couture has great cafes and shops but it's more it's more used for the
Starting point is 00:13:21 lookouts in the three sisters which is not a reference to the early Orts NBC sitcom starring Diane Cannon and Vicky Lewis. In reality, the three sisters is seen as magical. And in reality, listen, if you look at it's our own ocean, all right, but it's an ocean of grain, instead of an ocean of bleep. Also, it's a forest, not an ocean. You can't just call forest oceans, sir. Look at this bowling alley. We call this our ocean with bowls. But by the way,
Starting point is 00:13:56 also, wait a re-brand the blue mountains because there's a little infographic that comes up later that says the reason why they're called the blue mountains is because there's so many eucalyptus trees later that says the reason why they're called the blue mountains is because there's so many eucalyptus trees that they it looks blue. So like he's like it's an ocean of grain even though you see blue and it's not ocean and it's trees. It's like he literally got every detail wrong. So he's like wow the view from these mountains is spectacular of course because they're in the mountains right. And he's like we haven't lived together in a long time and sometimes we need our own space. And I mean, the times where Netflix is on and Stacy has a blanket and starts singing cuddle-battle over and over up and down. I end up with a small spoon. Gasping
Starting point is 00:14:33 for breath, Keshie won't stop punching me. So sometimes we need a little space like from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. That's Tamgay for like, she draws me nuts, but I'm stuck with her. Okay, that's the team gay tradition of that. Yes. So they meet Milton play, and he's like, all right, get Tim Lee, what you're looking for, then. And Kyle's like, he's really putting on his quiet voice for this to sound enough to really give it to Milton.
Starting point is 00:15:01 He's like, well, I would really like something quiet. Oh sorry Kyle did you hear that? That was my new carol burnout impersonation. Should we do it again? Well it's for me as long as I'm not too far away from Kachumba and I'm not too far out on the mountain. It works for me. I mean really anything. I'm fine with anything, really. I like this guy wanting a quiet nature environment with this lady who is, she's already so loud and goofy, right? And I like that she wants to be both in the city
Starting point is 00:15:35 and in the mountains at the same time. Right, but really all she wants is a coffee shop. But also, I think that she's like a little randy and like looking to get laid a lot because she's like yeah She keeps saying throughout the episode. It's really important to be by community events. What? That I've never heard anybody say that like the last place you're ever gonna find me as a fucking community event I know she's like we found her the person who loves going to the community center like every time there's like an arts fair Hey, the community centers playing out on arts fair. we found the lady who's just like, oh, like, yes, yes. Um, so, uh, Mel was like, or in what about character and charm. And she's like, well,
Starting point is 00:16:16 you know, what I'm looking for, something interesting. He's like, say something quirky. I'm guessing I can smell the betuley from here, so. Okay. And Kyle's like, I want something modern, something that could really show off the various scarves I'm gonna wear across this episode. It's like, oratain. So they're both energy healers in case you couldn't tell. And I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Stacey is like, she's like, I need a kitchen, but the main thing I need is I really like a gas stove. And then she just puts her hand under her arm. It's like gas It's natural Play is like the one thing I haven't covered is what price you want to stay under well 1400 is like kind of where we want to stay So does you know let me do the math in my head 1400 to it's all right so you
Starting point is 00:17:06 mean them up right yes that's correct $1400 a month yes well these two idiots want to be close to the bush and also close to town that could be the tricky part I won't be too hard to get too close to this bush if you thought I'm saying come on over here, Kyle. First up, I'm gonna come to a cold or chance in Katoon Bo. So they're in the car. They long by the way. Katoon Bo. Katoon Bo.
Starting point is 00:17:33 And so Stacy, they're in the car and Stacy's like, wow, this town has everything you need. And then we get a shot of what she's talking about. And it's like a little coffee shop with the sign kind of hanging half off. It was like, man, Stacy really is easy to... It's like a coffee shop next to a shop that only sells males. Yeah, if you see a lady with curly hair like orgasm and make next to a vending machine, just know it's Stacy doing energy. Energy healing on the machine. The snicker section really needed some energy healing. The snicker is section really needed some energy healing. I saw the front ends and I was like,
Starting point is 00:18:10 so they get to this house and it's a little old and corduroy from the outside. But enough about Stacy am I right? Now the inside is monsoon renovated. So these two dumb dumb's walk up to the tree in front of the house and they just both put their hands on the tree and close their eyes and she goes, what's see about this? Now it goes, hello tree. It's a big beautiful tree. That's for sure. I will say it is a beautiful tree, but now they have their hands on the tree like this is like nine and a half weeks Meets like bark and Melons like oh
Starting point is 00:18:50 Looks like we have a winner here because they're like attached to this tree and he's just staring and Stacy's going I And her like bottom lip is quivering. She's yeah She's looking like she's about to start crying. She's like so with the emotion She's giving like she's pushing out a baby breast It's like this orgasmic sobbing And he's just like a good
Starting point is 00:19:22 They call me fruity so Stacy's like, you know, I just love trees. And it's a reminder that we're all part of nature. Stacy, you poop. I mean, what more of a reminder that you're part of nature do you need? Okay. You poop. You've got boogers. So they're setting their communing with the tree and melons staring at you. And he just goes, all right, it's enough time. You can talk to that tree later when you move in. He's definitely just respectful to there. I love him because he's so foolish. I can't. So Stacy's like, you know, that what you just saw, that's kind of my energetic signature when I'm commuting with things, because really, wow, just yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:10 it expresses itself through me, the tree. Oh, okay, so now you're speaking for the tree. I mean, how are you? How are you? How about you commune with this misgro? How about that? So, but then they love hardwood floors.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I mean, what did the tree say about that? So, um, But then they love hardwood floors. I mean, what did the tree say about that? So true. Commercials, here comes one right now. Celebrity beef, you never know if you're just gonna end up on TMZ or trending on Twitter or in court. I'm Matt Bellasife. And I'm Sydney Battle. and we're the host of Wonder E's new podcast, Dis and Tell. Each episode explores a different iconic
Starting point is 00:20:50 celebrity feud from the buildup, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feud say about us? We're starting off with a pretty messy love triangle between Selena Gomez and Justin and Haley Bieber, a seemingly innocent TikTok of Selena talking about her laminated eyebrows. It's snowball She loved triangle between Selena Gomez and Justin and Haley Bieber, a seemingly innocent TikTok of Selena talking about her laminated eyebrows. It snowballed into a full-blown alleged feud. But it doesn't seem like fans are letting up anytime soon. Despite both Selena and the Bieber's making public statements denying any bad blood, how
Starting point is 00:21:21 much of this is teen jealousy and lovers quarreling and how much of it is a carefully crafted narrative designed to sell albums. Follow this and tell wherever you get your podcasts. You can lace an ad free on the Amazon music or wonder yeah. So they walk in and there's actually like a nice kitchen. I mean I actually really enjoyed the back splash in there. It was a very cute kitchen. Yeah, it's like a small IKEA light kitchen, but it's new, you know, this place looks nice. It is nice. And she's like, wow, it has a different look
Starting point is 00:21:51 on the inside than it does on the outside, like people, or pomegranate, or frogs, or gas stove, there's gas stove here. I could cook all the things in here, or it's a gas stove. How big is this? How big is this? How big is this? And she looks open.
Starting point is 00:22:06 She opens the oven. She's like, look how big it is. Say, say you can fit one cookie sheet in there. I know. You know she's gonna be on that oven making pair sauce all day long. You know it's like applesauce, but with pairs instead.
Starting point is 00:22:17 And that's like her invention. You know it. Yes, like her pair of jam. She's gonna be in there like commuting with jams. Cos can wake up. Oh, smells like jam again. By the way, this is the tiniest kitchen, okay. It's mice, but it's really tiny. And Kara walks in and goes,
Starting point is 00:22:35 Hmm, extravagant. He thinks everything, I mean, he's so deeply plain that most things are extravagant to him. So then they go into the bedrooms and Milton, they look at the larger room and he goes, you can fit a coin, saw his bed. I was like, I heard that pause there, Milton. He's like, let me elaborate because I think I'm with a gay man. So I wanted to show him not in trouble for saying queen You can fit a queen in here and you have two of them am alright, but who's counting?
Starting point is 00:23:11 How do you like it in here and cause like well, it's a little tight Well, I like cozy. I'm just good at making cozy spaces talking to tree and making cozy spaces That's what I did. We don't even need a couch. Just a hammock. We could wrap ourselves and let together like twins in the cotton cocoon. Let's try it now, pal. Come on, pal. So then they, um, all the other rooms aside from the master, there's two other rooms and they're really small. And one of the rooms is actually meant to be like a yoga room. And so Stacey says, you know, for someone that's sensitive to energy, not having the proper extra room, I mean, that could really put a damper on her work. So I love this one, really spiritual people,
Starting point is 00:23:47 turns out they're also like, just, they just want big ass houses too. It's just like, because I kind of feel like if you're an energy person, you could find the energy no matter what sort of room you're in. Oh yeah, I mean, look at the soap aisle of the whole foods. Look who's standing there, and that tells you, that's the people to me.
Starting point is 00:24:03 So he's like, oh my God, Stacey, you know what? We're gonna need a couch, because I can't cuddle like that. You know, look, here's the thing, real estate guy. I'm a little picky here when it comes to my living space. I mean, just look at Stacey. She's not picky. What she lived in a literal dumpster.
Starting point is 00:24:18 The three weeks, she made it. I called him my recycle cycle. I grew, I grew. You ended up on a trash barge stacey Trash barge So then they go out to the backyard, which is like a nice it's a nice backyard and it's like got space So they start like you know communing with your inner child and they start like convording through the the backyard and stacey's going Yeah, she's doing super-hats super heroes down. She does that a lot Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da talking about doing energy healing outside when the weather is nice. That would be fantastic.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Sure your neighbors are going to love that. Yeah, they will really, really, really love that. And so, um, and Kyle's like, I mean, what's the point of being here if you can't be with nature? It's like, I honestly don't know what the point of you being there is to be honest and the real estate guy goes hey, don't forget about the tree So now they are going to head to a tree top cottage so they're um they're now we like Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. He's like, wow, nice mandala. She's like, thank you. And they sit on the mountain. She's wearing like a neon, you know? I don't like one of those neon jogging suit things.
Starting point is 00:26:15 And she's like, back when I worked in an office, life was quite different. Staplers do not express their energy through me. I'll call you that much. Oh man, you should've seen what happened when I tried to come in with a coffee pot, needless to say, lots of appointments and a trip to the hospital. So I'll tell you, you really need to learn to have a
Starting point is 00:26:34 conversation. Manila Ombalon. All right. So Linda's like, and when his ex-roommate and best friend Stacy came to visit, they decided to room together. well, it's more Stacy's decision to room together, Kyle just sort of grunted, and started business for a more grounded life in the Blue Mountains until they run out of money in a bad a month. Working for these huge corporations that were helping other big corporations make more money,
Starting point is 00:27:01 I mean, that was not a calling that I could align to you And she's like well of all the majors I could pursue of all that was left because all of the majors were taken That's how majors work, okay There's majors only a certain amount of people who can pick a major So all the ones that were left they said you should choose marketing and I didn't even know what marketing was But I said okay, that's how little I do about myself back then. Wish I had a tree to commune with. So there I was, taking these marketing classes,
Starting point is 00:27:32 waiting for Gerald McRain in a show up, turns out that's major dad, not a major in marketing, so that was confusing. So she's like, yeah, you know, these blue mountains are really a breath of fresh air. Yeah, we get it. Stacy. I'm connected to the trees and the plants, a phantom inside of me. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Stacy, you're assaulting the trees now. Okay. And trimming your, not trimming your hoo-ha doesn't make you cousins with bush. Yeah. She goes, she goes, I feel really connected to the trees and plants and what an opportunity to start my business with my best friend. I'm like, yes, nothing really speaks of communing with the trees and plants like exploring capitalism.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Yeah, I know. They're like damn these big corporations to start a room business. I also like that too. Like I just realized there are corporations, there were just helping corporations. I'm like, Kyle, you realize that you were the one who decided to go get an MBA, right? Like what part of going to business school made you think you were not going to be helping corporations? Yeah. So the real estate guys like, well, you
Starting point is 00:28:40 can't stay with people and work a business together and live together, especially when one of them stays see and expect nothing to go wrong. All right. They did both the Solter Tree though So I'd say they're probably less longer than other people I've met who are a little All right Stacy. I brought you a twig. You can hold that in your hand I'm sure that'll keep you happy for a second So they go to a tree top cottage and a beautiful little pocket in Hazelbrook. Yes, and they're heading towards Katumba, right? It's a little farther than Katumba.
Starting point is 00:29:14 It's a little farther but it's close to waterfalls that we never see. Yeah, she's like, oh my god, a waterfall! So he's like, well, Carl's going lock this one molded and sti-c. And so they get there and it's a little tree top cottage. And it's cute, I think. It's kind of like you. I thought, yeah, it's real cute. It's like a mid-century modern on kind of a platform
Starting point is 00:29:36 where you put your cars under the house. It's like a cute little, cozy cottage. I actually felt like it was very adorable and it seemed like a nice choice for them. You know, they're like, it is up in the trees and you can sort of see out, you can actually see just Sydney, which I didn't realize, I mean, I don't know where the Blue Mountains are
Starting point is 00:29:54 because I don't know my Australian geography, but it's apparently a lot closer to Sydney than I realized because you can actually see it. I thought they were like way out, you know, who knows where. So Stacey says, then Stacey tells us, you know, I always felt I could have been a mountain goat or a cat in the past life because I like being high up in the mountains and the mountains provide that.
Starting point is 00:30:15 But, you know, I find a knife to have access to all the community events that are happening, you know, cause I love a community event. So it would be great, you know, in that sense to be close to town, you know, as opposed to being far out. But they get inside and it's like kind of gross, I think, like the carpet's like really old and stained looking and, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:35 it's like takes a kitschy, but it's not kitschy because it was really like that. Mm-hmm. That makes any sense. It was a gross carpet, but I still actually liked this house. They, you know, why did I write this down? The main bedroom has windows.
Starting point is 00:30:48 That seems like a pretty standard observation on the wall. It's windows into the living room. So it's like, oh yeah, that's right. It's a room that they either made from the outside, you know, like made indoors. They're probably made indoors. Yes, it's got like outdoor windows on a wall of the room that leads to the living room and he's like This is unique and she's like wow, what a great size. I hope this is my bedroom So whenever I hear shuffling in the morning, I can just open my curtains and have the view. I've always wanted
Starting point is 00:31:18 Hey Kyle you sit on that side of the window. Okay, ready? I'm gonna open up these blinds. Aguist Oh my god, I'm passing on this house. I also love Kyle. Kyle being on a spiritual journey, whatever, but like his NBA, whatever drove him to become an NBA, still like lives within him because he can't even appreciate the whimsy of a window in the master bedroom. Like I feel like a spiritual healer would be like, this is great because I want transparency.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Like a windows represent what we are all about, seeing into things and he's like, why is this here? It doesn't make sense. Yeah. And he throughout the episode, seeds more and more. Like Stacy is making him freaking crazy already, right? So this bedroom that has the windows to the living room, you have to walk through that bedroom and there's a door into the next bedroom.
Starting point is 00:32:06 So I didn't know this house, yeah, this house really doesn't make any sense. So then there's like a yoga room, which is kind of an outdoor patio that's been enclosed and it's really tiny. And she's like, oh my god, look, I can reach out and touch the walls! This is actually fun. It's like a human seesaw. Didn't even have to hurt a tree for this one. You're welcome to me. I was a seesaw in a former life. A seesaw with the mountain goat standing on top of it. So, Milton's like, well, then he takes him to a place.
Starting point is 00:32:33 He's like, this could be your living room, which didn't really appear like a living room to me, but there was actually this super cute dinette that I actually loved it. I thought it was really retro in a way that was cozy and nice. Well, they turned the living room into a bedroom. And so then this room, they don't have a living room.
Starting point is 00:32:51 This is the Eden part of the kitchen, right? This is like the little breakfast nook in the kitchen that's basically a booth around a little table. He's calling it a living room. Whatever it was, I actually really enjoyed that dinette. But then they go into the kitchen and there's an electric stove top and Stacy is not happy.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Nope, she's not happy. Well, Stacy will love the character and everything she sees, but you know, I think Kyle is warming to this style, but we'll see. And they go to the backyard and there's like a la, a circular laundry thing that kind of swirls around and Stacy starts hanging from it and flying around it. It's like, oh, a circular laundry thing that kind of twirls around and Stacy starts hanging from it and flying around it. It's like, oh, we could hang laundry in here. What do you call these things?
Starting point is 00:33:31 It's like we can call them fruit-loop ferris wheels. Actually, I'm not fruitless. For those ferris. By the way, all the neighbors are gonna go nuts because you know that she's just gonna hang dream catchers and win chimes on that thing. Oh, they're all day long. to go nuts because you know that she's just gonna hang dream catchers and win chimes on that thing. Like all day long.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Also have a drive a dream out and support and have a dry dream. So Kyle's like, well, this is interesting. I'm like, Kyle, this is, this is like a winzy machine. This entire place is a winzy machine. Okay. Yeah, I'm supposed to enter energy healer. He's like, I mean, I guess the backyard's private. The neighbors can't see us, so that's good. Yeah, they can't see you because it's just all weeds and like rusty broken down the shack.
Starting point is 00:34:15 It was a bad backyard. It was bad. So, but Stacy's like, Stacy wants a modern home. That's what she wants. So now they're going gonna go to a town, Coltage. Yeah, so they're going to this cottage and Kyle's like, you know, like, Stacey and I really compliment each other because she's like,
Starting point is 00:34:38 whatever, and she stays calm. And I'm the one who, you know, kind of freaks out. And then he tells us a story. It's like Stacey and I recently went on this camping trip and the weather wasn't cooperating with us. So we had to go to a hotel. So I'm small spooning and suffocating and Stacey is sobbing in my ear while beach is plays.
Starting point is 00:34:58 And then we hear boom boom crash crash. Well a possum had fallen through this healing. So Stacey starts filming the whole thing and zooming in on the animal. I mean, she really took that moment to rise to the occasion and live, and here I was freaking out. Well, then we both got tetmissin'. I went into comments for a couple of weeks, but it's the best vacation I've ever had. I've never prayed for rabies to set in in my life, whether it be near her.
Starting point is 00:35:27 But yeah, because then we see this video that they've taken, and Stacey's like, would you like to see it everyone? Would you like to see the possum? And you see this possum being like, where the fuck am I? Who's this crazy lady? I need to get back to my possum kingdom. Yes, and he's just standing on the sink because he felt through the ceiling.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And she's like like oh, sorry buddy We're gonna try and figure out how to help you. He's like god can't wait. I reach this much Stacy stop spooning the possum Stacy Stacy also tells the story that's maybe not as exciting as the possum one and she's like oh When I was video chatting with my parents they saw a bus go by behind me and a blue there are minds, mainly because I didn't start chasing it with my tongue out of my mouth. They just thought, when I said mountains, they'd like, I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Oh, well, there's a reason we became friends and it's to support each other through crazy developments and changes. And to inspire each other that night in the hotel, it was like 3 a.m. now. I said, Kyle, what does POSM sound like? And then I rubbed up against this little type, but it's Tacy Gro Stop, stop, stop, stop story. It's called Major Kyle! The lesson learned is, Stacey and I will no longer decide to go camping during snowstorms. So anyway, they basically like they agree that they think they're probably going to compromise. I was like, why stop now, right? So now Stacey is backing up the car. I just, what fell down the car? Go look, go look, go look, go look.
Starting point is 00:37:07 And he just sees, you can see him, he's so annoyed. And he's like, can I park the car first? I'm like, yes, but go look, go look. And she's like, we always enter conflicts and we just don't expect him. Let's just say that. And he goes, oh, it's just like a little stupid case or something.
Starting point is 00:37:24 And she's like, oh, thanks, Kyle. I said, die. Die, Stacy. I need this to be further out in the bush so I can kill Stacy, please. I know. That's what he wants. So, um, so now, uh, Milton's like, well, we're actually coming up now to the town called it.
Starting point is 00:37:40 It's close to the town. It has a real sunny 11 rooms. Okay. And a 0% chance of possums throwing fun to the town. It has a real sunny 11 rooms. Okay, and a zero percent chance of possums throwing fun Do for sailing Now listen you guys are gonna be real close to bush walks or as we like to call them around here Stacey box, alright? Or a stacey likes to call them just walks, right? So cows like I noticed this road is really busy
Starting point is 00:38:03 And he's like congrats on those eyes all right now come on in see you Me home Don't let those 1.5 cars every 15 minutes scare you So so Milton's like now come on in here chicken. It's got heaps of character Heaps heaps and heips and two bedrooms, okay? So they walk in, the walls are like tennis ball green and Kyle is like, this is very green, sort of like,
Starting point is 00:38:35 stacey with her underarm hair after that one weekend in Nepal. It's green like the emoji I used to send my mom when she asked how living with Stacey is going. Hmm. She's like wow look at this kitchen it's pretty tight cow. Get in your cow. Come on cow.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I'm going to single file in here. It's crazy. Hey cow I'm just going to come in with this burner. Oh! I'm kind of like I've ever learned. So she's like hugging the gas stove because she loves it. And she's like, it's small, but we do have camera space to do what we want. Like, no, you don't. You have a counter in space enough to put one grocery bag down.
Starting point is 00:39:19 What are you going to do in there? It was a sad kitchen. I had like a tiny dorm fridge in there. Um, it was very sad, but she's excited. She's, I think she just saw the tennis ball walls and was like, this is for me, this is classic stacey. So the main bit, the main bedroom is pretty big. And Kyle's like, you know, the front room is big, but it did butt up right against that main road. So I'm concerned about that noise. Wait, listen. Stacy, that's just you breathing. I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get a read on the traffic.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Stacy. Hold on, hold on, coil. I think there's an accordion player going by. No, it's unfortunately Stacy also. Oh, she has one of those little finger accordions. I just get to excited. Unfortunately, Stacy also. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe my room I can see somebody that I'm looking down on a date. The tree! God remember that romantic movie where that little girl fell in love with the tree and they had this wonderful romantic embrace? That was poltergeist.
Starting point is 00:40:35 The tree was trying to eat her. I loved it. Cry every time. I cry. God make Ryan's best work. God, God's, I think that she should take the first room because she can sleep through anything. Her snoring might be a contender for noise in the house once we start living together.
Starting point is 00:40:54 I don't know what you're talking about. I hid her head with a frying pan and she still didn't die or wake up. So now we're out there in their little yoga room. And it's like, look, I can dance in here. Yeah. She's very excited to have her dances. And then Milton is like, well, I can say that Stacey is very effervescent. More effervescent than usual, which is a lot.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I mean, she basically looks like she's got macaroni growing out of the head. I mean, that's already baseline, pretty effervescent. So you see no, she's in a comfort zone if someone had a bowl of bulk for breakfast. Aww. So they really like it. The backyard is really big and stacey, of course,
Starting point is 00:41:42 is like, it's magical. And then this is a cool backyard. There's like a little bridge because over no water really. It's just like you walk over the bridge for no reason. Yeah, it's, it was, it was like sort of like a, it had like sort of a garden, but not like a tree garden almost.
Starting point is 00:42:01 It was cool. And then I get, there's like a little bit of wind and Stacy's like, little bit of wind and Stacy's like the wind mmm she starts to come in with a wind and she tells us this might be a contender I'm a very manipulative person ask my parents when I was little I was just watch this and you're gonna love me hold on I'm not I know the good thing is that I've I've grown out of being manipulative just one second I got a call coming in from my parents mom dad I'm about to die they're gonna kill me you must send over what's the down payment
Starting point is 00:42:36 for a hundred thousand dollars okay I know I know you're not gonna believe how manipulative I am and Krall goes you've been in sales the past six years, Stacy. But I didn't know what it was. I thought I was going to be on a boat when they said sales. So now they have to decide. Now they're walking, they're hiking. And Carl's like, wow, it's a mountain. I can't wait until one day we can go down there and do hikes in that valley.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And she's like, work those glutes in my right tiny. So they're talking about what they like. And she's like, well, I'll choose the cottage. It looked like a tennis ball, but it also had wind. Those were all those cars driving by. Oh, well, either way, I'll take it. But yeah, big backyard though.
Starting point is 00:43:24 And then they talk about the tree, top cottage. And she's like, wow, well, it way, I'll take it. But yeah, big backyard though. And then they talk about the tree, top cottage. And she's like, wow, well, it had so much character, but for different contumbe. Yeah. And then, oh, sorry, I did the third one first. And then, yeah, then she's like, and the third one, well, that, you know, that also had a lot of character, a lot of character.
Starting point is 00:43:43 You should look into that, the character's fun. And you should try it sometime. He's like, you know, the also had a lot of character, a lot of character. You should look into that. Character's fun. You should try it sometime. He's like, you know, the one that really didn't hit the mark was a modern cottage, number one. You know, I really liked, you know, which one I liked? Tree top cottage. Tree top cottage. Told you I'm manipulation.
Starting point is 00:44:00 You want it? Well, I'm just a little concerned that the tree top cottage is a little further from Katumba where you know all the shops are and the festivals and all those community events. Did you know there's going to be a lecture about mods? Um, so number three town cottage. So they go and she's like, oh, how lucky are we? It's like we are so very lucky. And we see two months later.
Starting point is 00:44:26 And he's like, yeah, we're really more mindful and grounded right now. And by that, I'm more aware of my head hurting, and I just want to be in the ground. So it's been wonderful living here and not being able to put a two liter of bottle of soda into our fridge because it's the size of a shoebox.
