I'm Britney Saunders and I'm all right hey, and this is High School is the podcast version of your favorite group chat. We've been sharing our lives online for over ten years, so who better to catch you up on everything that's going viral?
Oh fus. We talk a lot about ourselves too. Coming up on this episode, BRIT's got a new show recommendation. Yes, and for.
Someone that doesn't have time to watch shows, I'm actually hooked and you need to watch it and you need to watch it too.
Matt Absolutely. Also, I say a sentence on this podcast I never thought I would say in my entire life, but my reel flush this week is someone that I never thought i'd be a big fan of. And here I am filmy do Let's doe.
Good morning, Matthew. Hey, how's it going?
You know what? Never been better? Really? Yeah? Why is that wearing my hat? Backwards today. I'm surprised you haven't said anything yet.
Well looks great. See, I just don't say anything because that's perfection.
Than you to me. I've done it just for you and the scrollers.
Yeah, just in case you didn't know.
A few weeks back, I don't know how long ago, we did a little debate and we put it in our broadcast channel on Instagram.
What looks better?
Because I genuinely believe guys with the hat backwards looks better than it forward. Forward is for exercising, when you're out for a walk or run, or when you're at the gym, then that's fair enough. You wear at forwards, or if you're at school on lunch break and no hat, no play. But otherwise, if you're wearing a hat for a fashion statement, backwards looks better.
Okay, but that's just my opinions.
Yeah it's not.
But we're inside today, but there is a window still.
So when I go outside, I'll put it on forwards. Yeah. Oh, there's a lot of admin wearing hats. People. I didn't expect to have so many brawls, you know what.
It annoys me because people like Aj for example, he wears well he wears the same outfit every day of his life, like even on the fucking weekend, he wears that outfit. And you know the outfit. It's black T shirt, black shorts, he's steel cap boots. He wears a colorful pair of socks every day with different characters on them. And then he has this thick head, like the thickest hair, Like his hair is not receding anytime soon, if not ever.
Thickest hair ever. But he wears a hat every day of his life.
Wait, has he lost a pair of Patrick socks? Yeah? Well probably as in from sponge. Well, yeah, he.
Has Patrick socks. I'm pretty sure because.
I have a what is the word a cue? It is that accumulated over quiet? Yeah, a pair of Patrick socks, pink Patrick socks, and I don't know.
Oh yes, that would have been from when we went to Kylie.
Oh my god.
And I've brought aj socks to wear with my cowboy boots because they're higher and thicker than my socks.
Mystery solved. They are they ended up in my suitcase.
Actually, I think I like what the I think they ended up.
In sky suitcase. And he thought that it must have been one of his friends and you a so we've got I've got aj socks. Wow. I also found someone's earring in my car and I've sent you a photo. I sent cater photo. I sent all my friends a photo. I was like, does anyone own this? I can't even think who's been in my car? Who's earing it could have been. It's a gorgeous earring too. My friend Toby was like, it's not mine. But if no one claims that on my haven't since that it's gorgeous, But no
one seems to own it. And I'm like, where has this earring come from? It's very strange. Things just keep popping up in my life. I feel like a bit of a magpie, just like acquiring all of these shiny things and Patrick's socks.
Which way, just on the topic of magpies.
Now that you mentioned that, I swear when we were in primary school, magpies were a lot more prevalent than they are now.
Okay, like I remember.
Maybe it's because we were outdoors more like in the playground, but I just swear when we were kids that Maggie's were around a lot more than I see them these days. Are they going extinct?
I don't imagine that they are.
Like, were they really bad at your school? And you remember like swooping here.
There would be parts of our school we weren't allowed. They would become out of bounds during.
Yes, and then I swear I couldn't.
Walk past the library during spring because you'd get swooped by the magpies.
And I swear at one stage, we like as a school all did classes where we made like an ice cream bucket hat with all pipe cleaners coming out the top to wear in the playground.
I never did that.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, with eyes and pipe cleaners and all spiky things coming out so we could wear that.
Oh my gosh, yep, it was.
It was real bad. At Jasmond Primary.
We had plovers, Oh yeah, which we've got plovers at the moment, nesting out the front of our house and all not all night, and now the babies have fucking hatched, So now we've got the mum and the dad gun and the baby's gun. Fucking not long. I'm like shut up literally nesting right outside the house, and our neighbors, bless their souls, they're putting out water for them, and all the little outside the.
Mind me of something else as well that I thought, I need to tell you just borrow on the topic of animals and stuff.
The other day, I felt so bad for a cockroach.
No.
I was in my bathroom.
Blow drying my hair and I put that attachment on that makes it like a thin little line, so it's really powerful. And this cockroach like came out of nowhere and scared me and it was on like my bathroom vanity. So as I'm blow dry, I'm like, go away, cockroach. So I like turned my hair dryer to like blow it away. No, And then I saw it like try and shelter itself like it you know, it kind of covered itself up like that to hide from like the wind and the heat.
And then I couldn't flow it away, and I was like, I'm so sorry.
I watched it go like this, you apologizing it so I didn't kill it. That's one thing that's different about living in an apartment versus living in a house. That's one thing we've had to deal with is like, pess, I forgot that like cockroaches because in the apartment do you.
Do not really get one when you're up high in an apartment.
Well on level fourteen, So we never had spiders, Like, never had a spider. We never had things like mosquitoes. We never had things like cockroaches, like like, never had any of those sorts of things. And so in the house, like when we first moved in, there were like cockroaches and I was like, oh my gosh, it's been years since I'm saying a cockroach. But that's all sorted now.
And we have obviously our security system, and one of our cameras is in our garage and it's it tells us obviously when we're in the garage, it'll send us a little notification saying movement detected in the garage, and obviously that's like inside the house. And the other night, we were in bed and we got a notification saying movement in the garage, and obviously we've both freaked out because we're like, that means someone's inside the house. And we're we're up in bed.
Are you the one that gets up and goes We.
Checked the cameras. It's a spider and the spider leg moving over it like it's crawled over the camera. That's scary, and the big hairy huntsman leg and I was like, oh my gosh, spiders forgot they existed.
See, I think you know how when you're like in a couple, there's always one that's like going to be the dominant one to like get up and fucking get a baseball bat and go through the house. That's obviously Aj in our relationship. But AJ is such.
A heavy sleeper that I don't think he would get up.
Yeah right, yeah, machine.
No, because like he could sleep through anything, yeah a lot.
So what am I supposed to do in an emergency when I can hear someone and I'm nudget AJ to say someone's in the house, but he's just snoring.
Yeah, Well, I feel like I'm the dominant one anyway, because Sky can't deal with spiders, et cetera, yeah, all the rest of that, whereas I'm although he did kill one once and I was proud of him for that. See.
Now ever since I've had that experience with my hair dryer, and like I can't explain the cockroach was.
It was just like it was going like this, I can't kill one ever again.
Which what with its wings It's like put its wings like.
Its hands like and it was such into a little like crouch into a little ball covering itself trying to predict itself, and I felt so bad. So be careful out there. Everyone think about the cockroaches feelings. The cockroaches have feelings.
Us.
Wait, let me just quickly google that.
Do cockroaches have feelings? Yes? Yeah, I'm gonna say that they do?
Do cockroaches?
I think about how insects talk to one another if they can't make sound? Pardon? Well, how do like spiders don't make a sound? Like dogs can talk to one another? They go rough and they can.
But I think also do dogs like talk to each other in other ways?
So this says yes.
Cockroaches, like other insects, exhibit behaviors that suggests they have They experience emotions and feelings, including fear, contentment, and even unique personalanies.
God, now I'm just sinking like a little gay cockroach.
That could have been him, and I was killing him. Well I wasn't killing you. I was trying to blow him away.
Behave.
Studies show cockroaches have individuals sheltering behavior personalities, with some being more inclined to seek shelter than others.
Pain response studies suggests that insects, including cockroaches, can experience pain.
I heard that, you know, more teene and things like that, like insect killer. Yeah, the way it kills them, And I mean I just saw this on TikTok, so don't quote mery. Yeah, but apparently what the spray does is it forces them to exert themselves, as opposed to it being poisonous to them. So I've always thought if I spray a cockroach with mortine it would and maybe go google.
Girl and cockroach spray actually kill them.
But as opposed to it just being a poison that I always thought you'd spray the insect and it would inhale it and would poison them and kill them. What it actually does is they don't like the they don't like it being on them, So to try and get rid of the spray, they shake the whole because you know when you spray one and it just goes fucking ballistic, Yeah, and then it just dies. The actual thing that happens is it it exerts so much energy that it basically like has a heart attack and dies.
Oh my god, this is so horrible, but this is genuinely horrible. Imagine if we got sprayed with a chemical all over our whole body and eyes and in our nose and mouth.
You'd be running around like crazy and then like the panic, you'd have a panic attack and die.
Is basically yeah, oh, we're terrible humans.
So it disrupts their nervous system. That's it.
I'm becoming vegan.
You reckon.
No, I hate a lot of roaches. I can't give them up, but I feel so bad.
Oh maybe that I've never thought about that. Maybe that's why Sky doesn't like spiders and like killing them or anything like that. He's a vegetarian and he does that for the animals.
So anyway, everyone be more mindful when you kill.
Croaches.
Please. They have feelings.
They have feelings and families too. Yeah, please be upstanding for the royal flush. Let's get onto the royal flash. What have you got for us this week? Mine's not super big though, so if yours.
Could, mine's not that big either, but it's I feel like it's worth sharing because, as we all know, I'm very busy and I don't really watch much these days, like I don't watch shows, but a show.
On Netflix caught my attention and I've been loving it.
I feel like I'm a little bit late, like it's new, but I think it's like already finished this season, but I'm all almost finished, maybe even by the time this comes out. I've finished the last episode, but at the time of recording this, I've still got a couple to go. But it's the show the Residents on Netflix.
Have you seen it, Matt, I am at time of recording yet to watch, Okay, but of course I will be yes for one very obvious reason.
It's got Kylie Minogue in a and Okay, so I didn't know that when I started watching it.
And by the way, I'm not going to do any.
Spoilers in this, so you don't have to worry about that scrollers.
Because I'm not finished it myself.
But we can talk about little bits like just why I'm really liking it. So the first thing that I noticed when I started watching episode one, the way that it is filmed is phenomenal because it's based in what is the White House of the President of the United States of America. And it's just so cool because like the whole show is based in the White House, Like
they don't leave it. Yeah, it's just based And by the way, the style of show it is, it's kind of like murder mystery and comedy together and you'll see you just need to watch episode one to see what I mean. Like the cinematography and the way they film it. It's like a drone is going through the whole house and into the next room, like it's filmed in that kind of way, and then the drone thing pans back and you can see the whole house, but all the
walls are removed and you're looking at it like a dollhouse. Love, So, like the way that it is filmed is super cool. The second thing that I love.
Is the cast is really good.
And what caught my attention is like the main detective lady who plays Cordelia Cup but she's the actress? Is it uso Uzo from Orange Is.
The New Black?
Yes, So I saw her and that she was the main actress and I loved her in.
Orange Is the New Black phenomenon.
Yes, so I was like, oh, I'm watching that away because I loved her in Oranges New Black and I had no idea that Kylie Minogue was in it, right, And so again I'm not doing any spoilers, but they're like having a party in the White House and the camera pans through every room like it's really cool the way that it's filmed. You just need to watch it,
even for the way that it's filmed. And then I could hear a Kylie Minogue song playing at the party, like as they'd go into the room, and then they started mentioning Kylie, and I'm like, Oh, what the fuck? But then Kylie is fully in the fucking show. Yeah, I didn't know that.
I don't know if you have gotten up to the episode yet, but I've just seen clips online of her actually saying the F word.
I think I have seen that.
Which maybe I'll play the second of it right now for everybody.
It's actually amazing and it's just my royal flush at the time of recording this, because we are pre recording a few episodes so that we have them to come out with while we're away.
But I'm loving it.
And this is coming from someone that like I don't have time to watch shows, literally, but this has caught my attention and I've like made time to watch it and I'm absolutely loving it. And I think it's only the one season that's out so far, but I'm looking forward to more.
Here we go, I found the clear.
I can't get you out of my head seven times are bound to be issues. Seven fucking times? Does she not swear?
I've never heard Kylie say a swear word in her entire life, and I would love to know how much Netflix paid to get that across the line, because I was like, whoa, Kylie Minogue saying fucking is crazy stuff people crazy stuff? Never heard her say that word really in her life.
Wow, what a clean image. I know we are the opposite end of that absolutely.
But anyway, that show, The Residents, it's just come out like last month, ten out of ten would recommend and I haven't even I've still got like two episodes to go at this point in time. I believe love it, just the cinematography, the cast, the wave that it's filmed. As soon as you start watching episode one you will know what I mean. It's just really fucking cool and I just feel like we don't really get many cool new shows that are kind of like different. So I
would highly highly recommend it. And that is my royal flush.
Everyone's great.
There's heaps of Aussies in it. I don't know if they're actually Ausi's or if they're like putting on an Australian accent.
There's another show that I want to watch called Adolescence. Adolescence is that the new Netflix show as well?
Oh yeah, I think I've heard of that too, And.
Each episode is one shot.
Wait before we get onto this, I thought I recognized this guy. It's the guy from the Saddle Club. You know, the main guy at the Saddle Club. He's in the residence is Brett Tucker, but he was the main you know, the blonde guy in the Saddle Club that was like the fucking stables or whatever. Yeah, he's in it, and he's really good, and I thought I recognized him. But I think the other guys in the show, they I
think they're putting on Australian accents. You can kind of tell, right, And then there there's another part where they're pretending that Hugh Jackman is also there, but it's not Hugh Jackman.
It's like you never see his face but you hear the voice.
Okay, So I don't.
Know why they did it that way, like if it's meant to be funny, because they're almost like alluding to the fact that it isn't Hugh Jackman but playing off that it is.
I don't know anyway, Go one of.
The last two episodes, something will happen there.
Yeah, because you never see his face, but they reference him so much, and you hear Hugh jack like a Hugh Jackman look alike and voice a like person talking.
Anyway, really good show, would recommend. And then what's the other show that you're talking about?
Adolescence I think is what it's called. And basically every single episode I haven't watched it, but I've been seeing again online. Each episode is one shot. How long is this like forty minutes or so, so, so it will start in the house and follow them, from my understanding to the school, So you see the shots in the house, and then they get in the car, and then it goes to the school, and then he goes into his classroom, and the camera follows from start to finish the entire
time and the entire episode. And I believe every episode is one take, sorry, one shot, not one take.
Obviously they surely be little there'd be little stuff ups and they could, like AI blend some together.
Well apparently they didn't. And the other thing is there were plenty of stuff ups which made it into the show or for example, I.
Did see it watching this the other day.
I did see an interview where the main character was saying that. You know, for example, the second episode or the first episode was the second take, so the second time they did it, that's the one they went with. And then the final episode it was like the four teenth take. That was the one that.
Imagine if they get all the way to the end and then they fuck up.
So things were happening. They were explaining that, for example, in one episode, he yawns and he's not meant to yawn, and so they just improvised, and she said, am I boring you? Which isn't in the script because he yawned and couldn't help it.
Yeah, you know, with any I saw the young boy that's in it. This is his first time ever acting and he has no formal training.
Yes, and they did that on purpose, apparently because they wanted someone who wasn't too set in their ways, because obviously you get trained one way and this entire thing was filmed a different way. So that's on my list to watch as well, and hopefully I can get that done. Struggling to find so much time, I feel like when you're preparing to go on an overseas trip, it's just kind of like hectic. It's like there's so much to do in so little time, and at the moment, watching
shows bottom of the list for me. And of course they have my pri my Real Househives of Beverly Hills, which, by the way, everybody who watches Real Housewives of Beverly Hills scrollers if you watch what the bloody heck fucking dog is going on in this joint today, because Real Housewives of Beverly Hills shoot me in the face. Honestly, what it's this season is the most monotonous, boring season.
Each and every episode is like Derie and Sutton have a fight, Kyle and Mauricio have a problem, and then they come together and they say I love you so much even though they're separated, and he's got a new girlfriend at the airport and all the rest of that. Eric's giving absolutely nothing. Garcell's just rolling her eyes at everyone. Who else is there? I don't know, I don't care, but Jennifer Tilly needs to be a full time housewife.
Jennifertilly is the best thing to happen to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in a very, very long time. She is like this effervescent, fabulous human being who is first of all rich thanks to dating one of the guys who created the Simpsons, and then they had a really amicable divorce and they were still friends afterwards, and he gave her a share of the Simpsons way back in like season one or two of the Simpsons, so they had no idea how big it would be, and he gave her some of his share.
That is my lifelong dream, right.
For the Simpsons. So then the Simpsons goes on to be like this crazy, crazy, crazy thing that's earning so much money. And she just makes so much money.
He's been right to work.
She has some like custom, one of a kind Louis Vuitton bags in the shape of ships, and she wears all of these fabulous outfits and all of this fabulous jewelry, and I'm like, you are just and she's just like the most fabulous human being. Her name's Jennifer Tilly, and she's been in a few movies as well. I feel like Bride Off Chucky comes to mind. Let's go Google Girl. We'll look up Jennifer Tilly and see what she's been in. She's been in Ride of Chucky, Seed of Chucky, the
original Chucky. She's been in Layar Liar with Jim Carey. She's in Monsters Inc. Oh my god, she's in Monsters inc. As Who is she in Monster's Inc? I can't think Celia the one with the snake?
Wow?
Could we please?
So she is living my dream being a voice actor in an animation and having a really rich guy give her heaps of money?
Who is she in Stuart Little? And also, could you please tell me who is she in Family Guy? As well? Jennifer? Yeah, I don't know who that is in.
Miss Camille Stout.
I don't know who that is.
Who was she when that movie came out?
Who was she in Family Guy? Bonnie? Oh my god, she's Bonnie?
What the heck? This is blowing.
Here's Bonnie and Family.
Joe's wife, the next door neighbor's wife.
This is blowing my mind.
What you know?
How the black haired one?
Oh my gosh, gol, wow, this is amazing.
You know Joe, that's Joe the first photo? Yes, that's Joe's wife. Well, jenniferctially is a fucking icon And now I love her even more and I'm following her on Instagram and she's just so fabulous. Let me try and actually find a video of her, because there's there's this there's this quote that she does.
People always say to me, oh, what are you wearing to the party, and I will say, don't go by me. I'm going to be egregiously overdressed. Life is short. I have fabulous jewelry, I have fabulous clothes. If I want to wear my fabulous jewelry and clothes to the local Starbucks.
So be it. Oh my god, I just love her energy. That's so me, Like, what are you wearing? Well, don't go of me, Dylan, because and I love the word egregiously. I've never heard egregiously in my life, but I will now be using it all the time. I will be egregiously overdressed in my back. It's hat anyway, my Royal Flush, are you done with yours? Now? That was it? Yep? I feel like we went on a few tangents day. I've actually forget forgotten what you're Oh, yeah, that's right, yep.
So my Royal Flush randomly, this is so random. I can't believe these words are going to come out of my mouth. My Royal Flush of the week is Millie
Bobby Brown. Yeah, full stop, just Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah, she has taken over my for you page recently, and I have been enthralled by every single video that pops up from her, and I am loving her energy and I love her and I feel like she's someone who cops a lot of hate from the internet just for simply existing and for growing up and for growing up.
And she recently we saw she kind of clapped back at the journalists and things who were making, you know, saying nasty things about her body and the way she was changing and all the rest of it. And I love that she also corrects people, like she was on a red carpet and the interviewer said something about her boyfriend and she's like, well, that's actually my husband. And
I just love that she stands up for herself. And I did see as well that she stopped speaking in interviews for Stranger Things, specifically because she would just get picked apart by everyone. Every time they did a group interview with all of the kids from Stranger Things. She would obviously talk a lot, she was really excited, and people would say she doesn't let anyone talk, blah blah
blah all the rest of it. When also I feel I haven't really watched Stranger Things too closely, but I do feel like she's the main character, right, like would you say she? She is?
But like a lot of the guys are main characters too, like they all are like the whole cast, Like, yeah, she's like the main person, but there's heaps which is focused on all the others. Okay, so like they're kind of all the main character, but she is like the main one.
So now she she just sits there in silence and refuses to say anything in Stranger Things interviews, which again is like such a big power play. And I just think I've been watching her on things like Jimmy Kimmel, I've been watching her. Is whatever's been coming up on my for you page from her? And I'm like, you know what, I actually I stand. I stand her. And another one that I've seen recently who I personally don't really care for or know much about, but Rachel's Igler.
Is that how you pronounce that she's the new snow White.
Yeah, I've seen that, but I don't know what's going on.
So much hate against her as well, and I can't work out what she's done. But maybe just be a bit annoying or a bit lame, you know, And I just feel like the dog pile is like really full on. And I feel Millie Bobby Brown has been dog piled on by the Internet for years and years and years, and I don't know, I'm just kind of like, but what did she actually ever do besides beer kid? Yeah, it might've been like a little bit creep at times.
Obviously it's different now if you compare it to all the celebrities that kind of were on the rise to fame when we were young, like Britney.
Spears, Jessica Simpson, like all of them.
I feel like celebrities are so different now because of social media, because back then, you know, when it was Britney Spears, Jojo, like all those rising to fame, Hillary Duff, like they didn't have social media at their disposal to like clap back and say what they.
Wanted to to the world.
And so I feel like back then, especially for women, celebrities, like the media could really control how the world was seeing them. And because they couldn't just like pull out their phone and say to the world whatever, then maybe a lot of them were like their perception from the public was controlled by the media, Whereas I love now that celebrities have social media so merely Bobby Brown can whip out her phone and say sorry that you all saw me when I was twelve and watch me grown up,
grow up and become a woman. But hello, like that's exactly what I'm going through. Yeah, so thank you very much. Like I love that they can just clap back now like so easy, Whereas back in the day, what they would have had to have done an article with the new idea to get their message out to the world, you know before like social media was the way that it is now.
I also think that like on the wrong of people in this world who deserve rights. Paparazzier at the bottom of the list. Yeah, Like I'm not how embarrassing.
Did you see that video.
You're about to bring up Sabena Carpenter coming out of the restaurant, that's exact.
And they're like, shame on you, No, shame on you, fucking storm.
How embarrassing, Like it's not ashamed.
Shame on them stalking people outside of a restaurant.
And I also just see this one one guy comes up on my TikTok quite a bit and he's in Australia and he'll just be filming Jackie Oh at the shops.
It's Jackie Oh.
Also does he know where these people are? Like do they tip him off?
I would have no idea.
A surely when he's filming like they married at first site cast out for branch in BONDI surely he doesn't know that they're there, Like, surely they've tipped him off.
I kind of get at the airport and I'm also like potentially because my thing is like sure if it's like an Ariana Grande at the airport, which I feel like videos similar to that have come up from that same guy, I get it because he might be able to sell those. And people are Jackie O doing a shopping at Smiggle. I'm like, who's why are you filming this person? Yeah? Can you really make money from that?
Surely not.
I don't know. I just it's bizarre some of the people he puts up. I'm like, like, do you want to come film me Dole at this rate? Like because some of these people are so irrelevant.
Like I want to look him up.
I'll tell you where I am. You can come and say me getting bred at Baker's Delight You know may as well at this point.
Well, I saw a TikTok. As always, everything's a fucking TikTok these.
Days, Isn't it funny how all of the topics Like, I really thought we'd be talking about more things that we see on Instagram as well, but unfortunately it just doesn't happen, does it?
Because I feel like what we see on Instagram we saw on TikTok a week ago.
Yeah, I don't agree with that. I know it used to be a little bit like that. I definitely see different things on Instagram. I just feel like I don't see viral things or things that create conversation. I don't really know how to describe it, if I'm honest. But also I use them both very differently. Instagram's for my friends. TikTok's not for my friends, it's for me.
Oh yeah, do you know what I mean?
Yeah?
Well, I saw a TikTok and it was just like a photo post and it says, tell me the one habit that completely change your life that you will never stop doing. Let's help each other be our best. Got forty five thousand likes and there is three thousand comments. So I thought we could go through some of the top rated ones to see if this is something we would be willing to do.
Do you have any that come to mind off the top of your head that would have one habit that changed your life?
No?
Okay, do you not really? Like the only thing that comes to mind is that I went from not drinking any water whatsoever to drinking at least two to three liters a day.
Yeah, that's good.
So that's a good habit to have that changed my life.
Let's read through some of these and you tell me whether you would do it or not, okay, or you'd be willing to give it a go.
Okay.
Anytime I catch myself thinking negatively about someone or judging, I make myself pay them three mental compliments.
Fuck that, I feel like that's too much.
I don't have time for that. And who gives a shit. They don't know that I thought negatively about them, so they also don't know the three positives either. What a waste of time?
Okay.
This one has sixteen thousand likes like the comment alone and I like this. Use your good glasses, the nice pillowcases, burn the candles. Stop saving nice things for a special time and make it a special time.
Now one hundred.
I love that, and we like hold on to things, especially candles.
I'm like, I'm not going to burn that because that's my good candle, like expensive candle. Just fucking burn the candle.
Yeah, I'm totally totally on board with that.
Me too.
One of my friends bought a Chavon she bag years and years and years ago, and it's beautiful. It's a beautiful bag, and it cost a lot of money and it sits in her wardrobe and I think from memory she's worned out the house twice. My Louis Vuitton bagg are fucking thrushed because I've used them to death because I'm like one cost per war baby, but two I'm like, i want to and I get it, like you want to buy it and you want to save it for those special occasions. But I am so on board with that.
I'm like, burn and I'm someone who burns three candles at once. Why the fuck not. Every room in my house also is a different smell. You go into different areas in my house, We've got different smells. The bathroom smell different to the lound rooms, the library smells different to the bedrooms. Because you want different experiences in each room. I've always been a smoothing you use.
So nice thing.
Stop waiting for a special occasion. Yeah, life is the special occasion, and no one's promised tomorrow.
Yeah. I fucking love that. I'm so on board with that, me too.
Okay, here's another one which I've never heard of or thought of before, but this one has twenty nine thousand likes.
Just one comment.
I've defaulted to a woman when referencing anyone. Oh, your boss, what's her name? The doctor told you to do what? She sounds brilliant, assuming everyone, by default is a woman instead of a man. Why is our default to think of a man? If someone says, my boss, why in your brain do you think a man?
Yeah?
Or my doctor said, why do we think it's a man?
It's like that riddle? What that riddle where it's like a dad and his son were in a car accident and they were rushed to hospital and the doctor said, I can't operate on this boy, this is my son? Or however the fuck the riddle? And it's like, how is that possible if the dad was in the car with him, because it was them, because it was the mum, But no one goes. Everyone goes. I don't know. Were they gay dads? The mum was a doctor baby. I like that one.
I've never thought of that, but that is a good thing to have.
Your Yeah, I'm all about that too, although I will say that I have done similar but I use they them, So I've tried to tried to switch up my thinking to just include every everyone. But I do like the power move of saying what's her name? So yeah, maybe I can adopt that one as well. But everyone, unless I know their pronounce is they them? Oh?
Another one, Matt, which we spoke about recently, quit alcohol completely.
Yeah, I'm still on that journey. I reckon soon, you reckon because I did it a couple of years ago.
Years ago.
I did it unintentionally, like I just had nothing on, like I had no big events or anything. And then I realized and said to Ja, oh my god, I haven't drank in the longest time.
Yeah, I've done I've done it a few times in my life. It's definitely good, and I think it's coming soon.
For me, coming soon.
Yeah, but stay tuned. What else have you got? These are good? I'm really loving this combok.
Trying to find the good ones that have heaps of likes. Oh, I like this one and I want to do this. And I've seen so many people say this. Go outside the first thing in the morning, Like, as soon as you wake up, just step outside, even if it's just for three minutes.
No bet, all right, go for your life. Could never be me. I didn't even open the windows today, Like there are days like I don't open the blinds. There are days that I will get fully dressed, ready for the day, step out the front and go, fuck it's raining. Yeah changing I haven't. I haven't dressed for the day because I haven't even looked outside.
Nothing revolutionary, but just make your bed every day when you get up every day. I only do it, fucking not even half the time.
Okay, I never do it unless we've got a guest coming over and there's a chance they'll be somewhere near our bedroom.
Well, see, this is a good conversation, have too, So I only have a doner. I'm not a sheep person. Same so like then I don't feel the need to make my bed because it's just flopped over anyway.
Yeah, like it's you don't really have to make.
It sky and I have also gone one level above and we have our own doners. Oh do you Yeah, so he's got one and I've got one. Yeah, it was fucking sick of sharing.
Yeah, we've got a super king doner. So it's pretty big.
Holy shit, everyone, what I don't think I've given an update on the podcast about my bed?
Yeah, you finally got it.
So I have given an update on the podcast.
No, but I've seen it on your story.
So remember months and months ago, I was saying it was going to take twelve weeks, and then I was doing Kylie and you know, things happen, and they only delivered on specific days to my area. It was really random. They were like, oh, we only come out that way on this day and I was like, okay, well that date doesn't work for me ever, so I'm gonna have to switch my life around to suit. Anyway, finally locked in a date. So it was literally like five months
almost since we ordered the bed. Shit that's flown and it has flown, and.
Like it's April already, what is going on?
And so the bed came. It is fantastic. We did do the one hundred and twenty dollars upgrade to get the chargers. On the side.
Remember, nah, I don't think you told me about so you just.
Like it's one of the wireless charges on the side of the bed. So and it's shit like it doesn't fucking charge. And I'm like, that was such a waste of money. But whatever, it's really cool. The rest of it's really cool. It's a great bed. But this is we've gone from a queen to a king.
Life change.
You wouldn't imagine that that would change your life so dramatic.
That way changed my life completely when I went from queen to king.
Oh my god, I feel like Sky is sleeping in another room. Yes, it is fucking wild. It is fucking wild.
You know, it's only thirty centimeters bigger.
Which is the most mind boggling part.
Only a ruler wider. But it makes the world of difference.
I genuinely was like, there was nowhere I could be in the queen bed without touching him somehow, which fine, but I'm I'm someone who like, I'm like, we can cuddle, but then once I want to go to sleep, get the fuck away from me and let me sleep, and let me sleep in the position that I want to be. I don't want to be touched, which has always been really weird because my love language is physical touch, so
I don't really know how that happens. But the King bed, I feel like I'm a fucking starfish and I'm like, where is he is he?
I don't understand how only thirty I know more makes such a difference, but it really does.
I know. It's so wild. Yeah, and I'm having the best sleeps of my life. I will say the bed is like comfia than any hotel bed I've ever slept in. I got new pillows from pillow Talk. Wow, I don't know what I got, but they're fucking incredible, and they're like you know when you go to a hotel and you're like, these pillows are so comfort They're comfier than that, And you know how hotel bed you're always just like,
this is the most comfortable bend in the world. I love this, and then you go home and your bed's like not as comfortable.
I feel like hotel beds are compia like some of the time sometimes they're rock hard. But the ones that you get in at a hotel and you're like, oh, this is amazing, I reckon, They're only good to sleep in for one or two nights, because then I reckon, you get like a saw back.
Because they're too soft.
Oh yeah, whereas like I reckon at home, it's good to have one that's got a bit of firmness in it, okay, because long term better for your back. Nice, whereas the dreamy hotel ones, they're good for a hotel stay, but not long term people.
Yeah, well ours is more comfortable than a hotel anyway, So my back's going to be fucked up.
Because that's another thing that I would say is good.
Not it's not a habit that you should do that will change your life, but investing money in like a good mattress, because we spend so much of our time in bed, you want it to be good for your back.
Yeah, and this is the first time we've kind of splashed out and done that. Uh so no regrets here yet. Anyway.
Well, that's another episode.
