The ZM Podcast Network. Okay. After Party. After Party. After Party. Hi guys. Look, I know we're at serious risk of becoming the Rubik's Cube update podcast, but Claudia completed one side of the Rubik's Cube today.

I have another update. I've ruined that one side. I think you needed to. I think we're... You can't do one side. I know nothing about Rubik's Cubes, but I think completing one side. I think you needed to. You can't do one side. But I think completing one side is a bad idea. I've now got a full yellow square except for the one green

in the middle. But I think this is actually better because now if you look at the yellow side if I move it, the ones touching the yellow now all line up. So on each other side I have a line of the same colour. Yeah, that's better because it's starting to take shape more. So it's starting to spill over all the colours are lining up. But I just can't figure out I have one green in the centre. Yeah, that's better because it's starting to take shape more. So it's starting to spill over, all the colours are lining up,

but I just can't figure out. I have one green in the centre. Now get that greenie out of the centre. I reckon you can do it. It's over there. I don't know what I'm doing. Is it driving you crazy yet? No, I'm still having fun with it.

It still feels like a math problem that I'm figuring out, which weirdly I find those quite fun. Oh, that's my worst nightmare. I would lose concentration like in three seconds oh my god guys i think i'm a cat person now i how you want to happen yesterday my partner and i we went over to the um the new house the house that we're currently renovating because we're not living in it at the moment but soon hopefully in the next three weeks um anyway went over there without the dogs.

The dogs weren't there. And then this cat comes out of nowhere, is in our backyard. And I'm not joking, was the nicest cat I've ever met. And you know when, like, I'm not used to cats being, like, it was like a dog. It was a little smoochy one. It was, like, super cuddly and smooch, which I've always, like, kind of liked cats.

But this cat, I was, like, obsessed with it. A lovely cat will melt the coldest of cat-hating hearts because they are lovely. I don't hate cats. No, I know, I know. But I'm a dog person over a cat. Yeah, yeah. But a lovely cat, like one that lovely cat. They're just super rare.

Yeah. In my opinion. Oh, come on. There's a lot of angry cats. I have a lovely cat. I have two lovely, well, I had two lovely cats. But yeah, but then my parents-in-law had a nasty cat. Oh, that's right.

She wasn't nasty. She was just. She was a bitch. She was vicious is, she was just She was a bitch. She was vicious is what she was. But she clearly had some trauma in her from something where you just couldn't go near her for fear of literally

having your eye taken out. That's like Shizzle, my partner's Shizzle? Her name was Shizzle. The world's oldest cat. So, when I first moved in with Sophia and her brother was still there and his partner and then Ben, there was like a million of us in this house. When I first moved in there, they had been –

so their mum had sold the childhood home, like the house that they all grew up in, and she was moving. And so she, when she did that, gave them back the cat and said, you guys can. Your problem. Because it was still alive. Yeah. And so when I moved there, this cat called Shizzle, which was my partner's childhood cat, well, technically it was her brother's,

but, you know. Semantics. This cat, I was like, how old is this fucking cat? Apparently, she was around for a couple of years more, but I think she was about 18 when she died. I thought she was in her 20s. I thought she got to 21. It's hard to know.

It doesn't matter how old she was. It matters how old she looked, and she looked fucking ancient. She looked like a skeleton and someone had thrown a blanket on her. Her coat had stopped looking beautiful. Greasy. And they did look. Nah, like clumpy. Oh, yeah.

And they did. They really looked after her. They tried everything. They were real skinny at that age. But she just was, it was her time to go. But fuck, she was a bitch. She was like, kill me. Just for no reason.

Please kill me. I for no reason. Please kill me. I fucking hate it here. Like, and she would just attack you for no reason. Yeah. She was terrifying. My childhood cat would attack people. Oh, my God. She attacked me a few times, but mainly other people.

Everyone was scared of my cat. I think I've been blessed with good cats. They do exist. They do exist. They do exist. You can't have a cat, though, because your dogs are too... Oh, they would destroy it. Yeah. You think your dogs are high energy now.

Imagine if you threw a cat in the mix. Oh, they would just chase it. It would never come back. But then again, my friend Jordan, who I do the parenting podcast with, had like a three year old lab I think, and then got a kitten and they are best friends. But he's only got one

dog. Yeah right, okay and it's a lab as well. I feel like if we just had Whitney would kill it no matter what but I think if we just had Meryl, the bigger dog that we have, and we got a kitten, I feel like she'd be really gentle with it.

She'd be a bit full on, but I feel like, yeah, they could work. But that's like my friend Dan. He has Boeing, his dog, and then Fokker, his cat. Excuse me? His cat's name's Fokker, which is a Burmese cat. And fuck, it is the not, I reckon hands down the best and nicest cat I've ever met in my whole life. And the dog and cat love each other. Burmese cats are very nice.

That's what I've heard. Apparently they're the most liked dogs. Yeah. That's what people say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like real, like people cats. People cats. I'm a people cat.

I'm a people cat. I'm a people cat. Yeah. Oh, well, maybe there's a cat in your future. Oh, no, you've got the neighbour's cat. Let's look after the neighbour's cat. Trust me, once the dogs are there, that cat won't be coming anywhere near us. When are you going to move into your house? Oh, shit.

You know what it's like. Renaud's. Oh, a few more weeks. Oh, a few more weeks. We're aiming, because I'm literally just bleeding money, I reckon probably second week of Feb. Oh, yeah, that's not far away. Not too far.

Hmm. Yeah. Sweet. Have you got a lawnmower yet? Oh, what? Have you got a lawnmower? What do you mean? Have you got a lawnmower?

Yeah, we've got a lawnmower. Oh, do you mow that lawn at your house? Yeah. Oh, last time we talked, you had a lawnmower? What do you mean? Have you got a lawnmower? Yeah, we've got a lawnmower. Oh, do you mow that lawn at your house? Yeah. Oh, last time we talked you had a lawn guy. Can we just put it out there? I have never had a lawn guy. That's my partner who had a lawn guy. Are you getting a lawn guy for the new place?

No. We're not. Yeah, right. We have no money. We have literally zero money. She like turns around. There's no shame in getting a lawn guy, by the around. There's no shame in getting a lawn guy, by the way. There's no shame in getting a lawn guy.

I don't even want to ask her how much she was paying for it, but she told me. We had the Christmas party at Bree's house, though. Very nice grass. It was nice grass. Very nice grass. You know how hard she's had to work on that? It's not worth it, by the way.

It's not worth it. Can I say as a man in my 30s, and every man in their 30s becomes a lawn guy for a bit, it's not worth it. by the way. It's not worth it. Can I say as a man in my 30s, and every man in their 30s becomes a lawn guy for a bit, it's not worth it. It's a fool's errand. It's like, really, what's the ultimate game? Oh, nice grass. And then that's it.

Can everyone pray for me as well? Because we're going to have to pack up. Honestly, I reckon at the top of my list of the things I hate the most is moving house. Fuck, it sucks. But how fun is it resetting a house? Like starting- Not that much fun.

Not that fun. I hate it. I really enjoy finding spots for everything. And for the next six months, you're like, hey, do you know where this is? And they're like, yeah, I think it's in a box that's up there in the shed. Why would you put it there? Oh, I don't know.

Like it just goes on and on and on. And then as soon as you get comfortable and you settle in, it's time to move! Oh no, you're never moving again. No, I'm never. I can't. Me neither. Update from the Rubik's disk. I now have the same yellow square, but now I have two rows of orange. Is she getting it? I'm not at all, but something's happened. If you don't know how you did that, then there's an issue.

I half know, but I didn't know where that middle one came from. It just was like, oh, yep, it lines up. All right. Fuck. Maybe she's getting out. Maybe she's getting out. Can I just say, good on you, but that is my worst nightmare. Yeah, no, that's not how I want to spend my time either. No way.

I'd like to waste my time pointlessly doom scrolling on my phone thank you very much I'm going to go cat some cat? you are a cat I was going to say I'm going to go pat some more stray pussies so I'm off
