Speaker 1: We acknowledged the traditional custodians of the land we're recording on today. Yesterday we were walking and we get like two blocks from school and she's like, I think I'm going to vomit. And I was like, you just don't want to go to school, huh. And she's like, oh, mummy, my hip really hurts. And I was like, that's mine, that's my line. You still you stole it from me? And no it doesn't.
00:00:24
Speaker 2: Your hook does not hurt.
00:00:30
Speaker 1: Hello, shit is and welcome back to eat Sleep Repeat.
00:00:33
Speaker 2: I'm Kiri Cells, I'm Kelly mccaren or am I who knows? I don't sound like Kelly McCarten.
00:00:39
Speaker 1: You sound like a mouse impersonating Kelly mccaren.
00:00:42
Speaker 2: I thought I sounded sexy. No, I don't know. It depends what.
00:00:47
Speaker 1: You're kink is.
00:00:48
Speaker 2: I guess.
00:00:49
Speaker 1: Oh my high pitch voice. Is that an indication of how good, how sexy I think your.
00:00:53
Speaker 2: Voice of how turned on you are by my voice? Right now, listen, I've sounded better. So I am going to try to make Key do a lot of the heavy lifting today. Just soon. Not everyone has to suffer through. Yes, fucked up voice, but yeah, I'm actually fine. Yeah, that's mild cold, but that's the long term shitters will know. Every now and then, my voice just decides to fuck ride off on vacation. It's real fun.
00:01:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I guess that's the what happens when you two job to talk for a living. The old voice box does kind of peter out every now and then.
00:01:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of job to talk.
00:01:30
Speaker 1: Oh, excellent segue for something that really hard to talk about. Over the key to do the heavy lifting Lucky duck over there with the non existent plows Am I pretending like I'm sick. We have an announcement to make about the podcast, and I'm sure you know what that means. If you're listening at home.
00:01:51
Speaker 2: And it's not April Fool's Day.
00:01:53
Speaker 1: We have decided to pause the show. We're unsure of the date says to when the show will be finishing, and we're unsure of whether it's forever whether it's just for a time. But we wanted to make sure that we kind of brought you in on this information sooner rather than later, so that when we do have our final app you're not just like, well, not the pride, Yeah exactly. It has been our absolute joy to do this show. It's brought us so much joy over the last four years. We have grown not only as people, as podcasters, as producers, but also as friends. I think that's one of the most beautiful things to walk away from this is the deep friendship that we have, but also our community that we've built. And that is probably the hardest thing about making the decision to step away from the show at the stage is the fact that we do feel like we're letting all of our shitter is down.
00:02:51
Speaker 2: I'd say it's actually the only because you and I will still see each other. We chat every week, So it's actually that's the only shit thing really that we feel like we're letting everyone down.
00:03:01
Speaker 1: It is And I just feel like our community is so strong, like small but mighty. Like I just the joy the Facebook group brings me. I've never been in a closed group that is so like such a soft place to land, like any comments, anythings that people share. I just love watching all of the like advice flooding, and I just think that I'm just so proud of it. And so it's not you, it's not even us.
00:03:27
Speaker 2: Really, it's not even us. We're great.
00:03:29
Speaker 1: We're great, But it has been a struggle to make the show profitable, and we have done various things to do that. We changed our name, we have.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: Done everything we possibly could.
00:03:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had two rebrands. You know. It's not for the lack of trying, but it's difficult. Like it is a passion project or a side hustle, whatever you want to call it at the end of the day, and we need to be more profitable in order for us to make it worth our time, because a lot of time does go into the show, and and for it to be a really great show, more time probably needs to be put into that. But neither of us can justify that at the stage because the return isn't there for us.
00:04:10
Speaker 2: Well, it's already that we both spend about one to one and a half days a week on the show, and that's a lot of time to put into something workwise when you're literally not making one dollar back, like the podcast. I know that you're probably like, but there's like nine ads in every episode. The podcast covers costs, so covers production costs, So I don't think people realize just how expensive it is to run a podcast and everything that goes into it. So we literally do not make one dollar, and we've been doing it. We've made four thousand dollars each. To be completely transparent.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: We've taken out in four years. So if you look at that, we've taken out one thousand dollars a year each for the podcast.
00:04:55
Speaker 2: That is so sad.
00:04:56
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it like that.
00:04:58
Speaker 2: As much as we love it, like it actually just doesn't makes it. We have mortgages.
00:05:04
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, and that's been a big factor, right is I've also got a mortgage now, and I've had a second child and it's just daycare. And also we're in a fucking cost of living crisis, so it was time for us to think about doing something else. The one thing we wanted to say was never say never. The great thing is that we own our show.
00:05:25
Speaker 2: He's already tried to be like, oh, let's just call it a hiatus because the dms are flooding in, and well, you know, when you make a decision.
00:05:33
Speaker 1: I was something saying this to Kelly last night. I saw it in person. Was that since we made the decision, I've had so many messages from different shitters who have just randomly been like, love the show, love this
Load full transcript
episode, this week, But like I even saw a shitter in the wild. Hannah who goes to my pilate studio, came up and said the nicest things. Then all of these messages flood in, and even one of my girlfriend's message, and I'm like, what's the deal, Like, we make a decision and everyone just wants to like tell us how great we are. I know, I already knew that it's not our faults.
00:06:06
Speaker 2: I got a beautiful email the other day from a shitter saying that she'd just been diagnosed with pots thanks to the pod. God.
00:06:14
Speaker 1: Yes, I think I got Sea seed on that.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: I did try to write back to Erica, but for some reason I couldn't, so shout out if you're listening. I did read it. It put the biggest smile on my face, but for some reason I got a bounce back when I tried to email you back.
00:06:25
Speaker 1: Something that's so weird. Yeah, well there you go. So not only do we make an incredible podcast, but also are actually helping the health and longevity of utive lives exactly just call us MDS. But anyway, it's not goodbye yet.
00:06:38
Speaker 2: It's not goodbye forever. Necessarily, we don't know. Yeah, we don't know what's going to happen. Well, someone to do with the way. If there's a rich shitter that wants to pay us.
00:06:48
Speaker 1: Bank roll our podcast, we'll take it.
00:06:51
Speaker 2: It's a rich shitter that wants to just give us the salary to keep going here if you need here.
00:06:58
Speaker 1: If you need that's because you got your Needdy quarterfinal tonight. Isn't it all hoping?
00:07:02
Speaker 2: I do? I really really upset that I can't shout at everyone though, so.
00:07:07
Speaker 1: I think everyone's relieved. Well enough about that.
00:07:10
Speaker 2: We'll do a proper send off at some point or a proper see you soon when our new brankroller comes in to pee us the money.
00:07:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Chi ching cha ching.
00:07:22
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's get back into the regular show, regular Friday show. So taking things off with our hits.
00:07:31
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I'll start you wrest Tho's card style. My pit this week is that I have been supporting a really close friend of mine through some grief that she is experiencing. And the reason it's my pit is because I think anytime that you are watching your friend whose heart is literally breaking for someone that they've lost is really hard. But I think when you've also experienced close grief yourself, you understand it on such a deeper level of what they're going through, and you just wish that you could change it, and you absolutely can't. And Yeah, I think that it's just been really hard to see someone going through grief and knowing what that feels like in that way now when people I love, and this person in particular, when they lost their person, it was the first time me supporting someone through grief after experiencing incredible grief, and it is a very strange and sad position to be in when you fully understand what they're going through.
00:08:42
Speaker 2: Last night, we both attended Friend of the Pod Grace's book launch, and we're going to get into that in recommendations. Yes, but I was sitting with friend of the Pod and other friends of the Podley Campbell, who I also podcast with. I was sitting next to her while Grace was talking. And Grace has basically written a memoir about the biggest love story in her life, which was with her best friend who died suddenly. We had Grace on an episode and she did touch on that. Yeah, probably last year at some point, Lee and Grace became really close because they as they both said that they were in the grief club that no one wants to be in. And so Lee was just sitting next to me last night while Grace was talking sobbing, and it was like as soon as Grace opened her mouth, Lee just started sobbing. And it's because they understand each other's pain in a way that if you haven't gone through that sort of debilitating sudden, unexpected or just when it's someone that's just so close to you and it's not expected, or even if it is expected, but if you're not part of that club and you haven't ever experienced it to that extent, you don't understand it. So I do think that when you're in it as you are now, you do feel things differently, I'd say, because you truly can understand to the level of pain that your friend is in, whereas I, if my friend is in that cart Yeah, and not to say that I can't be compassionate and empathetic, but because I'm not part of that grief club, which I'm so grateful for, but because I'm not part of that, I'm never going to be able to understand on that level. Does that make sense? Like, No, it makes It's because you're just so compassionate, and not that other people aren't, but you truly understand the pain, and so you're also grieving for the pain that your friend is in.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And I think the fact that I've now welcomed someone who is very close to me into that club, a club that no one wants to be a part of, and a club that's just with you, Like it's a lifelong membership. You know, you don't get out of it. It's not like you can leave. So it's really heartbreaking. But yeah, you absolutely summed it up. It's like, yeah, it's just a deeper level of understanding of something that is completely permanent and final. And it's a horrible place to watch someone be in for the first time.
00:11:13
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that your friend has joined the club, like if she's a shitter, if she's listening, Like, I'm so sorry. That's just awful, And I'm sorry to you because I mean, yeah, it's awful watching a loved one experience something fucked.
00:11:31
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, what's your pit this week?
00:11:35
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that I have had a particular pit this week. It's just been a shit week. Yeah, you know, when like cumulatively even though it's not cumulatively been shit. I'm actually fine, but there's just it's just a bit of a low week where I'm like, I
think it's also low because I keep forgetting to take my aney to pressents because my house is being renowed. We'll get to that in my peak, but none of my medication is where it's supposed to be, so I keep forgetting.
00:12:02
Speaker 1: So can I just say, you're so real for that? Because if I like take mine upstairs, I keep it dan stairs. But if I take it upstairs, I will not take it for two nights because it's out of the routine of like, where's that crazy? Isn't it? How much we are such creatures of habit in that lay and if we like slightly change it up, we just completely forget it. Anyway, I just felt I was felt very seen in that moment.
00:12:23
Speaker 2: Thank you. I think if your routine gets broken and it's not where you always go to first thing in the morning, like, yeah, it's just a bit of a mess. So that's also probably why I'm feeling quite low. But I am feeling shit about the show simply because I hate like I just feel every time someone messages since we made the decision. I literally just like my heart breaks a little bit because I'm like, people are going to be so upset and disappointed, and I feel very responsible, like I've lost my voice in a big work week. I've got a big shoot to my I'm hosting an event tomorrow night. Like apparently I heard that you're on the RS for Pilis to see there.
00:13:06
Speaker 1: I saw I've got the invites all your host and I was like, oh, Off must tend, must attend.
00:13:12
Speaker 2: She doesn't. She forgets to tell.
00:13:14
Speaker 1: Me things I meant to tell you last night, but we were crying.
00:13:17
Speaker 2: So we were crying. Yes, and so just losing my voices just annoying. And then yes, I had to have an MRI on my titties. Let's say we all know I don't like medical stuff.
00:13:28
Speaker 1: Why are you giggling just because she said titty is okay?
00:13:32
Speaker 2: They are my titties, my ruptured titties.
00:13:36
Speaker 1: I told Charlie. I was like, I was like, because our friend just doing Kelly's bob drop.
00:13:42
Speaker 2: He doesn't know about that yet. I'm going to walk into my concert and go Hi, Hi, I'm friends with Key and.
00:13:49
Speaker 1: Which is so good. He'll take good care he's such a nice guy. Anyway, I was telling you you better make it so awkward for him though.
00:13:56
Speaker 2: I like the first time you say m I wanted you to be like, oh, what the what are her insides look like? Is it all messed up from all the eddie bop job.
00:14:07
Speaker 1: I was telling Charlie, I go, oh, he's doing Kelly's boob job. And he looked so confused. He was like, what her boobs anywhere to say real? And I was like no. Her implants ruptured and he was like oh. I was like, no, it's okay. Just the funniest conversation.
00:14:28
Speaker 2: Imagine he's just imagining that I'm walking around like when the first scary.
00:14:35
Speaker 3: Movie with like the popped tit Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And I was like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's just it's all okay, Like everything's fine. They found it early, blah blah blah. Anyway, Sorry, I keep stealing your fit.
00:14:47
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry turning into the.
00:14:53
Speaker 1: I think we've got the giggles, Oh my god.
00:14:55
Speaker 2: Sorry, shit is because my voice is just no one can take anything here, no anyway. So I had to go get this fucking MRI and so they stick the canular in and then sobbing, and I'm also then so upset with myself because I'm like, fuck sake, you're thirty seven years old. You've had enough bloody needles to last your life style. How are you not used to them yet? Bloody pussy? I'm sobbing, and then I have a bit of a faint and I'm just like why. And then I'm in the stupid machine and it's taking so long, they said, I swear, they go at one point we're about halfway through, let's just say fifteen minutes in forty five minutes later, I finally come out, and you know how you can't move in an MRI machine, So I mean like my nose job's getting squashed. And I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have a busted nose job as well as a bustard bob job, sitting there, tears running down my face about the fucking canulus stuck in my arm with a stupid loud MRO machine. And then I get out and I'm like, am I going crazy? Or did that take longer the second half? And they were like, yeah, it was really hard to see around your implants, And I'm like they're very large.
00:16:09
Speaker 1: They're the big one, so the big one, so that makes sense.
00:16:12
Speaker 2: And then I'm literally like so woozy, and they said, oh yeah, the die and the magnetic field can make you quite dizzy afterwards, and I'm like, no shit, and then they just basically boot you out. I'm walking through the streets of Randwick like and then I have to go back to work. I'm like, why why do I keep making such life choices?
00:16:33
Speaker 1: Get that bag?
00:16:37
Speaker 2: Got to get the bags to pay for the bob job, since this isn't going to pay for the bob job, let alone the mortgage.
00:16:50
Speaker 1: Moving on to our peaks, she wrest those cards. I'll take it away. My peak this week is that I had an amazing Palates class. Now that's really silly, and like, no, you had an amazing Pilarate's class. Big, Well, I want to tell you this. I have been trying to go to Pilarates twice a week since the beginning of the year, around when Suki turned one, so like a little bit into the year. And look, I have gone through so many bouts of sickness lately that I have had weeks where I haven't gone at all. But I've tried to be as consistent as possible. And then when I went this week, it was the first time that I felt like my muscles engaging again. And it was just like, I don't know if anyone else has had this, but it's like, postpardon, I've felt so out of my body. I just like felt like I had no muscle memory. I couldn't even really do a plank on my knees, like that's how much my abs were just non existent. And I was like, well, you know, just keep going, like just keep going, like move your body
and push your body and just try and so much of it. You're just going and going and going, and you're like, yeah, yeah, I feel good. It's great that I go. I notice if I don't go, I don't feel as good, so it's definitely good that I go. But that class, it was like I could do certain poses I could, you know, I had more strength in my core or in my arms or in my legs, Like I could actually do a bit of a higher spring in some of the moves because before I'd just been doing the easiest spring recommendation. But I felt like the strength to maybe push myself a little bit more. I was just really happy and the reason why I made at my peak this week was because I know how hard postpartum is to want to move your body and to go. It can feel like you are just pushing a huge pile of shit uphill with no reprieve, you know, and you don't feel necessarily or see the results of what you're doing, and it can be really disheartening. So I just wanted to say, keep going, keep showing up. I saw Katie Lola Loless. Do you follow her on Instagram? She's Lady Lollss. She's I worked with her.
00:19:05
Speaker 2: When I was oh yes, yes, yes, sorry, She's just incredible.
00:19:08
Speaker 1: I was like obsessed with her. I worked with her, and then I just became a fan on Instagram, so follow her. She's incredible. And I saw her in an event recently and I was like, oh, you are so good. She gets up at like five am in the morning, like a couple of days a week and goes to the gym and she, you know, she's doing proper gym stuff, like she does a group class and she does like, you know, I don't know what they are squats, but with equipment.
00:19:34
Speaker 2: She's doing, I don't know what they are. A squat.
00:19:37
Speaker 1: She does a squat. She's doing like proper like gym equipment stuff, you know, like that cool like high intensity weights and stuff like that. And I'm just like, oh, you are so good, like I see you go. And she's like, you know, and I said at the beginning, because she's had two kids too, she was like, I'm not going to be the best, but I'm going to be the most consistent. And I just that resonated with me. It's like, it's not about being the best, it's about consistency and showing up. And I finally hit a point where I'm like, okay, starting to feel good again.
00:20:10
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that makes me so happy. And You're like, there is something to be said. It sounds so earnest, but actually feeling strong and feeling like your strength has come back. Yeah, because you literally you lose your body when you have a baby, like all of your organs everywhere, your skin's all stretched, like you don't have anything left except like a shell of what you used to be. And to actually feel strong again, oh my god, it is such a good feeling now.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck yeah, except do you know what the funniest thing is rude and want to go to preschool. Every day we've talked about this last week, she's like started lying, which was just like so funny, kind.
00:20:50
Speaker 2: Of as she trying to tell you that she's sick because she's realized that means she doesn't have to go to school.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she knows how like serious, I take vomiting. So yesterday we were walking and we get like two blocks from school, She's like, I think I'm going to vomit. And I was like what, And I'm like, you know, I take it really. I'm like, oh my god, you're okay. I take the backpack off, I get the water out, Are you okay? Sit down? Blah blah. And then I could kind of see that she was a bit sheepish, and I was like, you just don't want to go to school, huh, And she's like yeah. And I'm like it's okay, Like I'll pick you up early, like don't worry, it's going to be great. And then we get a block from school and she's like, oh, mummy, my hip really hurts, and I was like, that's mine, that's my line.
00:21:29
Speaker 2: You stick.
00:21:30
Speaker 1: You stole it from me, and no, it doesn't, okay, it does not, and I was like, you're your is not hurt, But I was just can I realize I complained about my hip all the time so much.
00:21:43
Speaker 2: So that she's like, I can't do this. Yeah, so mummies uses it to get out of her gym classes she's paid.
00:21:52
Speaker 1: For exactly, surely she'll let me out of preschool for this one. Not a chance in you go and you go.
00:22:00
Speaker 2: My peak is that I am having as I speak, if anyone has heard some strange noises happening in the background, it's because my house is having a light reno at the moment, and I just could not be happier. Do you remember? Also, no matter what I am forcing you, we are doing our goal setting episode. Oh we have to do it.
00:22:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it.
00:22:24
Speaker 2: I'm actually to hold ourselves accountable because if you knew, if this is the first episode you've ever listened to, every year we do an episode where we reflect on the goals that we set for last year and then set new goals for the and the reflection is quite possibly the funniest thing ever because both of us are so being bong that we don't achieve much.
00:22:48
Speaker 1: No, and we're always just like also The funniest thing is like we forget our goals, like we're pretty gung ho for the first half of the year, and then at the end of the year, you told me one and I did not even believe that that was a goal that I said I was going to do, And like listening to when you said.
00:23:03
Speaker 2: You were going to do a half marathon in DUSA, Yeah, I'm an idiot.
00:23:07
Speaker 1: Okay, we already had an episode about that, So moving along, I'm an idiot.
00:23:11
Speaker 2: Well, I was so gung ho this year. And that's another thing that we start every and we're so earnest, even though we know that we're both being bong like every year, we truly do think that we're going to be the best versions of ourselves, so much so that this year I actually had, like the first few months, like individual goals for the month. One of my goals for
January was to get my flaws fixed. Did I do it?
00:23:31
Speaker 3: No?
00:23:32
Speaker 2: I don't even think I have to set an inquiry. It was on my list though, things to do.
00:23:36
Speaker 1: But that's manifesting.
00:23:37
Speaker 2: It is because they have been redone and they look in credible and there is literally currently a team in my house and just organized people make my heart sing because I just would love to be someone that is an organized person. Like the team have just arranged everything, like there's someone to fit this thing and someone else to fix something. Oh you need this built, you know, you can hire someone to do that. They come for an hour and they fix it. Just all of these things that I'm just so unorganized and don't even ever think to do. Oh, it's just been so incredible and I can't wait to show everyone photos of how beautiful everything looks. So it's for a job for High Pages, which is basically like Tinder for trade's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well I didn't know. I never heard of it before because of course I have it because I'm the most unorganized persons. Of course I haven't anyway, So obviously I download it when we start shooting, and I was like, holy shit, this is so good. Everyone's got ratings. So oh there's someone that's got five star. You can see the work that they've done. Then you just book them for They all say hey, I can do this job for so much money. Then you can book them and then they come and do it, so the job is for them. So everyone's been from High Pages, so high pages slaps. Yeah, front needs to download it no matter what you need done. It's so good. Like, did you know that you don't need to build your own flat packs?
00:25:09
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can just hire someone to do that. Yeah, it's like the.
00:25:12
Speaker 2: It's not even that expensive. It would have taken me an entire day to do this buffet, Like it would have taken me entire day that I wouldn't have gotten any work done, so I wouldn't have been paid, and then I would have potentially would have been errors with it because I'm not a handyman. Someone turned up this morning to build the buffet. It was ninety dollars. He was done in less than an hour.
00:25:33
Speaker 1: Oh and he built it God and less than an hour.
00:25:37
Speaker 2: Literally, so just so good. So download high pages. It's bloody amazing, and I just feel so happy to have a space that doesn't look like it's I don't know, someone's like literally come in with a steam train and messed everything up, and Lenny's just so excited by it all. It's just so cute. So that is definitely my peak. Getting to work on this campaign and having my house done for me with everyone else organizing it has just been actual heaven for my brain and really, really, oh gosh, I just I'm so excited by it.
00:26:15
Speaker 1: I honestly cannot wait to see it. Cal Like, I'm that excited.
00:26:18
Speaker 2: It's so impressed.
00:26:20
Speaker 1: I love it because I'm actually going to see the change. You know. Sometimes I'll like go and to see someone's house and they've had it renod and I'm like, I didn't know what it looked like before, Like, this isn't impactful.
00:26:29
Speaker 2: You did your beautiful floors being taped up, and I'm going to see it.
00:26:34
Speaker 1: I'm going to sue it on its glory recommendations. So my recommendation this week is the Too Good to Go app. So Too Good to Go just wanted to flag I am doing a partnership with them at the moment, but I'm a really big fan and bloody cares.
00:26:56
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean anything. They're not paying you for this. Clearly they're not paying me.
00:27:00
Speaker 1: For this at all. But basically, forty percent of all food is wasted, which is a huge amount of food. Most places, at the end of the day will throw away their food if it doesn't get purchased. So what Too Good to Go does is it's an app that facilitates. So it's kind of like Uber for local restaurants and grocery stores that put up these surprise bags each day that are really inexpensive so you can get you know, I think the most I've paid for a surprise bag is twenty bucks from Harris Farm, and the least I've paid is like seven fifty from Baker's Delight. And you book the surprise bag in it gives you the time that you pick it up, You go pick it up, bring it home, and it's filled with a bag of value up to like some of them are, you know, a lot like I think the Baker's Delight one had finger bums in it had vegumies expensive now, a lot loads of bread. And then the most recent grocery one I got was incredible. It had like five hundred grams of chicken breast in there, so I ended up making pestro chicken for the girls. They have fresh fruit that's in there. Sometimes there'll be some dairy stuff or milk. It'll all be within date, but it'll obviously be expiring soonish, so you kind of need to use it straight away. But I just think where every dollar counts, this is a great way I think to supplement your groceries, so.
00:28:27
Speaker 2: Regardless of every dollar counting, I think this is fantastic. I hate food waste, I do so much. Yeah, this is brilliant.
00:28:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's incredible. And I think the other thing it's really good for is like if you're having people over, and it's not just Baker's Delight, like local bakeries will also be on these sites. And actually I find the local retailers to be better because they just have like a yummier stuff, you know, whereas like soupermarkets is a bit more random. But like say you did your local bakery, they just have like delicious pastries left over. So if you know that you're going to have people over in the afternoon, you could like book one for that day and whatever turns up is like I could use for people coming over. So yeah, I just think it's an incredible platform, free to use, obviously, And I'll put the link in the show notes and happy surprise bag shopping.
00:29:18
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm downloading that right now and maybe pick
myself up a little Baker's Delight bag this afternoon because I fucking love Baker's Delight.
00:29:25
Speaker 1: Do it, do it, do it?
00:29:26
Speaker 2: Do it? I'm going to just turn up at your house on Friday with Baker's Delight and you'll be like, Okay, well thanks, I'm gluten free.
00:29:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thanks so much. I love the kids exactly.
00:29:38
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've got a bunch of recommendations, so let me surprise. First one high pages. That's a cheeky little extra that I've popped in. Second one key. You might have even already recommended this, and maybe I just ignored you. Did you recommend off Campus? No, No, you didn't, I didn't.
00:29:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on my list to watch girl.
00:29:58
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't believe I'm ahead of you with something. I know. My god, Guys, I know that I'm a little bit late to the party and anyone that is, you know, fresh with it and like hipen happening with what was getting talked about in pop culture. I know that you're like Kelly, for Christ's sake, we know it is so good. I loved it because I just thought that it so accurately depicted the giddiness and oh the lust, and it's just so good and I love all of the memes about it. I just think it's brilliant and it's the first show I've ever watched about like teen or early twenties sort of drama. UNI's show. There's no toxicity. It's about if two people fall in love. There doesn't need to be a bunch of drama. They're just in love. It shows that you don't need to chase or the one person doesn't know. And it's just so good. And the fright bros aren't fright bros. They don't talk about girls in any sort of discriminatory way. They don't call anyone losers. Everyone just gets treated amazingly. It's clearly hot men written by women. They talk about consent, they talk about women's pleasure. It's just so good. I'm just so obsessed with it. And even little things like there's no in the fraternities, there's no hazing, there's no or bad hazing the way that is depicted in every single colleague show. It's just so it's such a nice watch. Definitely watch that. If you're on the fence and you thought, oh, why do I want to watch a show about teenagers, No, you do, and yes you will absolutely lust after the hockey players. Sorry to tell you, but you will. Literally. I am a puck bunny through and through now Puck Park, then an author in general Kia Abdullah. She writes the most incredible books of their fiction books. But most of the plot is based in a court. And I know that sounds really boring, but it is so interesting and you will spend every So I've read two over the past week and I'm actually like, I cannot wait to just smash the rest of them because they're so good. So something will happen at the start of the book. Yeah, it's also like in the synopsis, so it's not a surprise. As an example, in one of the books, someone's best friend kills her husband, so that's not a surprise. But the entire book is sort of from different people's perspectives and it's about the actual case that's happening in the court. So think about it, like, and before you think that sounds boring, think about all of the highlights. You how when a case is an American case, it's always like they televise them, and so high profile cases people watch on TikTok or they'll watch sort of the highlights. I guess we are the most interesting parts. So it's that in book form. So it's actually just so interesting. But you never know what actually happened the entire way through the book, even as the jury is sort of deciding what's happening. And the twists and turns that happen throughout, like different things that you sort of uncover while the jury is uncovering it as well, means that you're sort of wondering and deciding whether or not a person is guilty. It's just, oh my goodness. She is just such a good writer. And she also writes characters that come from different minorities that I haven't read from their perspective that much, I guess in sort of more mainstream, So that's also been really interesting. So anyway, I just I absolutely love the two books that I've read and can't write to read more love that. Lastly, Is It Too Early to Bitch? By Grace Rufrey so Key and I both went to her book launch last night. Am I ten chapters through? Indeed? I am, of course because it's me And I was just on the way home in the train and absolutely smashing it last night. It is so good. I have even just in the acknowledgments at the start, I've never read about female friendship in a way that nailed it, so much, and she spoke about how it's not a surprise like you read this on the back of the book, but Grace very suddenly lost her best friend about five years ago. It's a love letter. The whole book is a love letter to her friend. But it's about the power of female friendships. And at the start of the book she's talking about how you don't just go get another friend. You know, it's not like it's not that sort of a relationship where people go, oh, you can just make a new friend. No, you can't. The way that she wrote about that, I remember saying that when I had a friendship break up, and I spoke about that very early days in the pod that still to this day breaks my heart and I agree for it, not every day anymore, but every week. And my dad said, it's okay, you can make new friends, and I said, I don't want anyone else. I just want her, like I don't want I want a different friend. I just want her. And she sort of spoke about that in the acknowledgments, and it's just so true, and I just think it's so accurately describes a beautiful female friendship because it isn't something that can be replaced, and it's just such a beautiful book. It is so funny. She is so funny and reading about their friendship like they just had the funniest friendship. And I think that anyone with a really close girlfriend or someone that's had that sort of relationship before will appreciate the way that she's written because she's just so perfectly nailed the humor between two best friends. Like remember, even last night, she's telling the part where Katie emailed her saying, you're going to get a call in the next half an hour if anyone asks, you're my team leader at General Pants and Grace without hesitation, just wrote back saying how long have we worked for? Then Katie writes back eight months. Just the humor yea, and the relationship between two girls. It's just something that I think so many of us, if we're lucky enough to can relate to. And it's just a beautiful thing to read. So I definitely recommend that. And Keith think I've rambled on enough.
