Because the other night we were at our girlfriend Priscilla's sons twenty first Alex, he is a day older than Lewis. Okay, and we in fact met at mother's group and Peter, you know that involuntary sound he made. He made it when she was breastfeeding at mother's group because she had the world's most enormous nipples.

The I accused all of our male listeners of being Homo's the other.
One and not because you know what, because your people always want all other men today actually do a numbers. It's not one in teen. I mean you slip and fall on one deal pickle.
Us is that I didn't know I was accidentally on Sky News today Anyway, How thrilling is that the game the gays are always onto something good before everyone else.
That's all our gays are good. Follow the gays in real estate.
That's what I was getting to. And on that topic, by the way, a message from Jason to our Instagram, Hello Jason.
Is Jason a listener?
We know a huge bucket here?
Oh Jason, Oh, I love you buckwheat.
Just because you know what, Kate doesn't matter to me.
But they understand us. Yes, we understand Jason Trinity.

Set your arm and please let Nathan know. I'm a bloke working on a job site listening to the buck up. One final sentence. Yeah, and I'm.
Gay, Jason, and I'm gay of course you are, Jason.
Hello, you big homo, I love it.
And has he heard yet about his puffs to privilege?
He's the privilege. I'm not sure what was that again?
I know you had a show. You said you had it because I've got the privilece. You've got puffed to privilege because every time you get in the car you could possibly have one of two drivers. Yes, that's right, there's not a designated drives.
Two puffs a driver amongst them, puffs everywhere, not a set of keys to be seen.
I wonder with lesbians, wonder if our lovely lesbians would let us know they could take time.
They have lesbian what's a puff to privilege? What's the lesbian version of that? Lesbian leisure?
Lesbian largs want to ask them? Designated drive?
I'll tell you something. I could say this very being very good friends with a number of lesbians, we all they are a lot better at parking than the gay men came. There's been times where I've jumped out of the car and said, Hickey, you do that and she will reverse angle in their form. Hickey, I mean please, I mean she knows how she reversed angle the way around to you. Yes, she arrived at her wedding on a horse and car, not a joke and her horses. So that's how that all works. Love in that world. I have a question to ask you, as a good friend of yours. Yes, it could be awkward, but here we go. Oh did I miss your birthday?
Yeah?
When's your birthday?
The eighth of the eighth?
What's that? I don't know numbers of.
I don't know what numbers are.
I don't know what I don't know them.
You don't know what month we're in?
No, I actually don't. I'm really bad with months and numbers.
When people go six mocked here, I do have to always go six or six.
February, March, April, May, June, July.
Okay, what's the sixth of the.
Sixth January, February, March, April, May, June. Yeah, I definitely missed your birthday?
Did the eighth of the eighth?
Eighth of August?
I definitely missed your birth discussion? Didn't I tell you that lion skate was the portal to abundance?
Yeah?
No, well no, not really.
Did I wish you happy birthday?
I can't remember.
I don't think I do know why.
One of the great things about me having been raised to Jehovah's witness, and there are not many great things, although there are some great things. Is that because we never grew up celebrating birthdays?
Oh that's not a thing.
No, So I don't have a thing about my birthday. So if you forget my birthday, I really don't mind.
Okay.
However, the bad side of that is I always forget other people's birthday. It's fine, I'm just not No, it's not bo my god, friends, I really get so devastated with you.
I'm so happy that you're with me. I don't know people's birthdays. I forget people's birthdays. I get Cody's wrong every single year. It's the twenty fifth, twenty sixth, twenty seventh, or twenty eighth of December, and I can never remember which one. It's not Christmas Day, so it's twenty six, twenty seven, or twenty eight.
This is fascinating. Could you just continue to just list of number.
I have an issue, and I have an issue with people that try to make a birthday week or a birthday month.
I'm amazed at people that a member things and I love a birthday month. I'm not very partial to her.
You want someone celebrating their birthday've had our mind.
Don't mind whatever they do. The queen, I'm not you know what, I'm very happy with people celebrating anything I am.
You know the time once.
Okay, you're very judged me. So you didn't even celebrate me once, so I think you forfeited your run.
Don't bring it up to apologize to you. I'm sorry.
I apology needed.
I'll never forget.
See.
Lewis my eldest son. His birthday is the day before mine, so he's the seventh of the eighth. I'm the eighth of the eighth. And we were both so sick when and the boys were all sick. So we just had a night at home lovely on our birthdays and one of the kids ordered KFC home delivered KFC awful, so Greasy got to get it hot, shocking, and we had the most beautiful night.
I mean, if I had to decide what to do with my birthday, even if I was perfectly healthy, that's what I want to do. You don't need to be sick to stay home and order in. Is that for an inspiration quote?
I have to tell you something so extraordinary, My god, I love this. Oh no, it's not that extra now you pipe it up. Well, no, it is quite an incredible thing that happened. You know how people are always like, you don't know someone's story, so be careful how you approach them. Well, last week I was that person.
I was the person.
You didn't know my story, and something really terrible happened in.
This pod we hang out and I didn't know your story.
No, you didn't. I hadn't told you this. Okay, So Yarnie, my youngest went to ride to school and he leaves his car his bike on the front porch, right, So he rides his bike everywhere. He's like an old fashioned kid. That's the only way he's off at basketball refing is fishing balance.
It was like Stephen Spielberg movie. He's kind of his kids on bikes, kind of if you're.
Factor in some meth heads and some pedos, right, so it's kind of like it's kind of like that shout out to Saint Koter in Melbourne exactly right. Anyway, So he lives a vigorous young teenager boy.
He's riding away from most days of his week.
He goes to ride his bike to school. He's always running late Yearni, he's always like there's always like a tuft of dust coming out cacos. Yes, he really is, he really is. His gorgeous. Anyway, his bike was gone off the porch and Peter seed and then there was this flurry in the house and Peter said, I told you not to put it on the front porch because you can see the wheels. You can barely see the wheels through all the detritus out the front. Anyway, it was really devastating because when he first got a phone that got stolen out the front of the it was just terrible, right, it was terrible. And I drove him to school and he was just devo. So the next morning, so we've had this terrible the next morning, did you call the cops? And she know it was that after it was yeah, the next morning, No, we didn't call the cops. I was going to. I said, you've always got to report the crime. Couldn't be bothered. I mean they've got no interest. They're like a bank in Switzerland, interest in crime.
Very busy that end of town.
Anyway, So that night I have to drop him at basketball. I pick him up again, Devo and the next morning I have to get up very early and take him to basketball, so I have to get up at twenty past five, have him at basketball at six. And when I dropped him off at basketball, and it's still kind of dark. At that point, I saw that in front of me outside his school basketball arena or whatever, there was a statue outside, and I went, I've never noticed before. I saw it because there were flowers around it. Right, I leave, I take an hour, I go to boot camp, actually, and then I come back to pick Yarny up. And by that stage, the sunny so I can really clearly see it's a statue of like a nun with a man next to her, and there's flowers all over. So there's bunches of flowers fresh, yeah, fresh flowers and wreathes late, but I can't really kind of sound. I'm a bit far away. I'm sitting there and waiting for Yarny to come out, and this woman walks along the path and she looks like maybe she's just stumbled out of bed, maybe she doesn't have a bed. You can't tell. And I look like that myself in the morning, so you can't tell. But she's got a shopping bag over her arm, and I think, oh, And as she walks towards this shrine with the flowers around it, she starts kind of fossicking in one of her bags, and I think, oh, she's gonna leave flowers. I'm gonna watch and see what the deal is with the shrine. But she doesn't leave flowers. She picks up a bunch of flowers. She picks up a bunch of flowers.
Stole flowers.
She stole flowers. Now bear in mind Yanni is still inside finishing up his basketball. I am a woman. She doesn't know my story that I am scarred from a thief who has stolen my son's bike.
This is not linked to the bike, no, except.
That it carings up this my feelings of actual Do you know what? Because of the world, every time we don't call out some bullshit and we're like a each ye there around get every time we don't call out a thief, a liar or whatever, a flower thief, yeah, because we don't want to be that person. From a nun, yeah, from a nun and a soldier and a soldier and a soldier anyway, So she picks up the and so I was like, oh, my goodness, I had this overwhelming urge to say something which I normally never would.
Did you punch on?
No? But I got out of the car to look at the shrine to see what it was, right, I when I've got to go look at it. And as I walked towards the shrine, as she picked her had picked up the flowers, she turned around and saw me looking at her dead in the eye, but she.
Just kind of brazen on the car.
Well, I was just sitting in my car, but she didn't know. She thought it was just a part cart binocular hand binoculars and of disguise.
Good to go wearing army camos anyway.
So I got out of the car and as I walked towards this shrine, which was probably, I don't know, twenty feet away from me, she's walking up the path the other way, and I felt this voice just come out of me, the voice of someone who's tired of getting stuff stolen from their family that they work hard for. Because we live in a low trust society where people can't be trusted, though most people can, but most good decent people are bearing the cost of shit, people who have been indulged because of whatever traumas have happened, whatever reason, this is the reason I can justify why. Suddenly I heard this voice say, oh, you know, you shouldn't take those flowers.
That's fair enough.
Yeah, but that was weird.
I mean it's Kareny, so you know what she did. It was very first Karen.
But as we've said today on this show and in the past, what have we said, We love the Karens.
Oh, I love Karen.
Karens, keep the world aright, Karens, keep the world turning. I just haven't really heard Kate be a Caroen anyway. So you boys just came out, you know, you shouldn't take those flowers like that, And in the early morning light, it just traveled. She had the shopping bag over her arm. She did not break stride, but she was walking towards the rubbish, being uh huh. And she walked past, and she put the flowers on the rubbish and she kept walking. Mm, not in the bin, the bin on the side of the buquet. So I went over and I took the flowers and I put them back on the shrine, and I read the shrine. I didn't understand where some Greek things some Greek ridding it and I read that was something whatever people were into them. Yanni comes back out.
The people those people are and they are start with flowers around.
Yeah, that's they meant a lot to some people. Sure, Yanni comes back out. I said to Yanni, I'm so traumatized by the theft of your bike. I told him what just happened. He goes home, He tells Papa, and my husband tells Artie, who's getting ready for school Sunday. Lewis comes in. The whole family knows that I've become a carat people for stealing flowers. So that night, it's still after school. Yeah, it's he stayed with me. It's a significant thing.
Hey, I'm in to call unlocked eyes with it. I haven't looked anywhere other than your face for this whole story.
I'm so anyway, I'm in. So that night, we're all having dinner and we're sitting down. It's pretty early dinner because I think there's sport or something. Anyway, we're sitting around and there's some weird sort of vibe at the table and I think Lewis says, tell me, Mum about the woman and the flowers, and so I'm like, oh, yes, that's right, spoke in the garden, and then there's they're all tittering and laughing, and then Yarnie's got he's got some weird expression on his face, and I go, what what? And Peter's sort of who looking quite pleased with himself, and Yanny goes it turns out I left my bike at Kathaiahs South. His bike was never stolen. His bike, his bike was never stolen. And and so this whole, this journey but living with and that he had been living with, and that we were all oppressed by mounting spirally crime rates was founded on nothing.
These poor laving, poor woman.
Just wanting to steal some flowers early in the morning.
Life has probably kicked her so many times she's at She don't know if it has. Who knows, We can't know.
We can't We never know what someone's story. We don't know his voice. The amount of bike was at Kazi's house. The bike has never.
Stolen, And that, my friends, sure, and thanks to you, the flowers were never stolen.
But the flowers were never stolen.
This is like the butterfly. This one thing that you've done could calls huge impacts later on. Somehow somewhere.
I'm not sure how, but Valvoux, you know what's amazing the power of what we believe.
I love this today now, nothing stronger than that stronger.
And in this case, I believe something bad had happened. We all did, but it actually hadn't happened, something good.
In a dressing gown, six o'clock in the morning, screaming out a stranger, what's the buck up? Guess what, Laine Brook what? Nate Valvo, Kate Elizabeth, Yeah, it's spring, isn't, oh well, Newish new to spring sort of.
You know, my dad would always argue about this because the European and the Europeans do the change of seasons from the twenty five first? Is that the equinox sut or is it the soulstone?
You know something? He's such a nerd, boring fat But I don't care. You're gonna hear it anyway.
I'm here for it. I expect nothing but nerd and boringness from you. So all of us and our listeners would be devo if you said Australia.
Is one of the only countries in the world that starts seasons on the first of the month.
Because we're wrong. There you go, we're wrong, So you've got it very fight up there, okay, And that's my people will also go at the start of spring. They'll go the first of September.
Yep.
And especially like down south or whatever, people are shivering. They're going, I can't but it doesn't feel like spring. That's because guess.
What it is not spray. This is what I wanted to I mostly use this podcast to bring the arguments that are happening at home and to air them on the pod. Oh I love just to find if I could be right.
What's the dabbler bin up? Because he's having trouble with what's taking exception.
To Tody, the husband just dabbles to this podcast. If you're new to the pod, so is my husband when he eventually listens. And you know what, when he said once that he dabbles into the buck up, that to me is a confession of he's never listened from start to end, even just to one app.
No, that's right. We understand what that means. We all understand the dauble could mean one app no, no, he dips in. He dips his week for me, then doffs his coffy pops and off pops. Yeah, we get it, and we can say whenever we want about him.
He's not here.
Yeah listen, so you know get it.
We should just open the lines and let bike AADs call to abuse their partners. Let's just do that. They could go to town on them.
Fun.
What fun? I feel that people don't talk about. The hardest part of most relationships, I feel is figuring out whose temperature is the correct one in a bed, in anywhere. When you are together, I kind of get the vibe that one of you is a bit cold or a bit hot, and the other one is right.
Who's right, Kate? Because Cody and for ten years, yes, I have been going on and on, but I'm too cold at all times. Apparently I'm too cold at all times. But okay, so here's the thing. Because he's very fit and he's into triathlons, you know that makes muscle and muscle burns more heat. Okay, so those people are hotter. So hunks are hotter physically and literally, Yes, they're hotter. Because my husband, who's a cyclist, uh huh. When he's really in his optimum sort of training period, which is he's going for like three rides a week, he throws out so much heat. It's like leaping next to the sun.
The oven, a bed with an oven, So I think I wish I was sharing a bed with an oven because I and look, I'm so sorry if you're listening to our pod and you're not a Melbourneite, and there's many people that don't live in Melbourne but.
They live in another cold place. I'm when I say it was the coldest winter ever. Yeah it was cold, it was bloody, it was col I was cold, really cold for three months.
Yeah cold.
I was like uncomfortable when I got on a sauna months and had the sauna fire. Yes, I had said to Carl and my girlfriend when we got in it, I feel like this is the first time I've been warm in three months.
Thank you exactly. But I've been going coding right this year in particular, right like this house is cold always. I walk around my house for three months like some sort of World War two elderly refugee.
I've got I regulate. I would say to my husband knitted on because it always it makes you angry. And I would say to my husband, this witch is tit of a house. It brought me to living so one day he said to me, can you stop? Which is tip.
Just so it is now maybe people saw this article a few weeks ago. It is now official that Australia has the coldest houses in the world.
Yes, they're not probably built world because yeah, you will write my husband, my father European always said the same thing as well, they're not designed for cold.
We pretend, we pretend. It's like we watch the ad campaigns that we make for europe An American leave them that that's what at the whole country at Manly Beach every day with Lara Bingle right in a bikini.
How cold does Canada get? Very very cold?
Yeah?
They pride themselves on their cold.
Okay, here is a Canadian woman on TikTok.
Part A living in Australia is that people genuinely say to me, oh, you're a Canadian, so you shouldn't be able to feel the cold, when I can confidently tell you that. The call is that I have ever been is living in a Melbourne sharehouse and lie and lying in my own bed, trying to fall asleep, being able to see my own breath.
Yeah, she can see her own breath.
I wake up in the morning sometimes breathing folk. It's what happens in your home. Yeah, in your home, right.
Yeah.
I also feel that we've all been given our parents generation have this fear of bills, of gas bills.
But also they were hardy people. They didn't have the air conditioners.
Mum goes to me the other day, what do you do? How do you do heat? I was like, we just put the heater on. She's like, and who pays for that? Talking about who pays for this is how life works. I use a service and I pay for it.
Doesn't she understand that?
Understand because if you go to my parents' house, it is cad like she's got fish and pitt hanging from the roof. It's so cold in that joint. Yeah yeah, fish and I don't know, I've made that up. What are they hanging those freezers in likes?
Oh like in a cold room? Oh yeah yeah? Fishing bee fishing peak peaks.
No, but it could be so anyone listening in Australia, especially the eastern parts of Australia. You did it through the winter. It's finished coldest houses.
Even if it's not officially spring, yes, it's spring has sprung enough for us to celebrate and go to your wrong and then soon we'll get into the bush fire part and the terrible peace right.
Okay, so enjoy these two weeks that's coming. But if you want to vent about your partner and how you're right.
Messages they do it. Sash the backup podcast on its stuff really vent part tell us something.
Especially if your partner doesn't listen, even better go nuts well.
But also if they do listen, even better double happiness.
It's a text from It's a classic boend.
And she's still not listening.
Lynn doesn't know how to listen to podcasts, but she must.
Be hearing things about the BAKA here and there. We know that, you know, does she ask about it? She not, really, Mum doesn't your sisters.
We're too busy gossiping about other members of the family.
We've got gossips going well, some of them listen, so you know you can't tell I can't tell you on air. It's always gossip.
We've got a huge family. There's all stuff going on, and even people I don't know will tell me.
When I this. In my experience, there's always going to be a mole amongst correct There's always going to be a mole.
Oh she knows, as a text from Mum segment, she knows that.
Yeah, but how does she resist the urge to listen? Because I'm always like at our birthday dinner, which we finally did two nights ago when we emerged from our sickness because you were born on the eighth of the eighth, to forget that, it's amazing. So and you feel you give me vibe of someone that's into numbers. Who's the double eight mean anything? Well, it's just very lucky.
What do you talk?
Even sash notes sash permission to speak.
It's so lucky. It's like the because of the eights means going around like two infinities.
And also in to the Chinese, eighty is the luckiest.
And then this year was twenty twenty four, so two plus two plus four is eight.
So it was lions Gate, very powerful. Okay, okay, did you do you think what about affirmations?
Yes?
Did you want about the moon? Yes?

No interesting what some people are like. I see ones, I see elevens everywhere.
I'm like, shut up on the eleventh.
Yeah, whatever I've got, I don't care. You know, I'm a Leo. We care about it?
Could be eight eight, This is this? I say eleven and you say shut up.
No one can no. I'm just saying I have no interest. It's like other people's start silence. You couldn't care less, couldn't care less, could not kill. You can't even remember what you were Sagittarius, I mean, hasn't gotten that. And that's the same as my hans don't know what that means. And ones I think are powerful.
