Nick Allen-Ducat (0:05)

Welcome everyone to the bonus podcast.

Susie O'Neill (0:09)

Oh, I have a very, very, very short story. I was talking about how I...

Who sent it to me first? Okay. That was a short story.

Basil Zempelis (0:18)

Oh, that's it. That's the end of that.

Susie O'Neill (0:19)

I was talking about how I was in a bad mood this morning, and so someone texted me to cheer me up. And she said, I told you it was short, this is going to be very short. She said, I had a crumb in the bottom of my bag yesterday and I almost threw it out.

But then I realized it was a smartie. Happy days. I told you it was short. What, she ate it? Yeah, she ate it.

Nick Allen-Ducat (0:41)

Was she happy about that? Yes. So she ate the rogue smartie?

Susie O'Neill (0:45)

Yeah. So she thinks it's a crumb, going to throw it out, but then she picks up, it's actually a smartie, she can eat it. Like that's the-

Nick Allen-Ducat (0:51)

Is it a metaphor for life?

Susie O'Neill (0:52)

Yeah, like a silver lining. Like you think it's shit, but it's actually beautiful, and embrace it and swallow it.

Nick Allen-Ducat (0:57)

Smarties are crap, though, compared to M&M's.

Susie O'Neill (1:00)

I don't like M&M's, that tastes like poo.

Nick Allen-Ducat (1:01)

Yeah, smarties feel cheap.

Susie O'Neill (1:03)

M&M's have that American chocolate taste.

Basil Zempelis (1:07)

Yeah, do they?

Nick Allen-Ducat (1:08)

Smarties feel a bit like almost stale.

Basil Zempelis (1:10)

They do actually, that is true. Yeah, down the bottom of your bag, like the bottom of your bag is a bit gross.

Nick Allen-Ducat (1:16)

Very gross. How often do you clean your bag?

Basil Zempelis (1:19)

We never do it.

Susie O'Neill (1:20)

I cleaned my bag yesterday, my swimming bag.

Nick Allen-Ducat (1:23)

Have we got to the bottom of where your sports bra is?

Susie O'Neill (1:26)

No, I tipped it upside down outside.

Basil Zempelis (1:29)

Maybe when you cleaned your sports bag, your swim bag, it fell out.

Susie O'Neill (1:33)

Yeah, I don't know. I think I've left it somewhere. I've left it.

Basil Zempelis (1:36)

Where did you go and you went home without a bra, you fucking tart.

Susie O'Neill (1:42)

No, I went to yoga, hot yoga, and I had a shower after.

Basil Zempelis (1:47)

You've left it in hot yoga then? Maybe Caffeine's got it.

Susie O'Neill (1:49)

No, because I brought it home. I brought it home. I remember seeing it in the laundry, in the laundry basin and I remember thinking to wash it.

And I remember washing it.

Basil Zempelis (2:00)

Where the is it?

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:01)

So it's at home somewhere.

Susie O'Neill (2:02)

I've sighted it at home. Has one of the maids taken it? I don't have maids.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:06)

Okay, just checking.

Basil Zempelis (2:07)

Cliff wouldn't have touched it.

Susie O'Neill (2:08)

No, so anyway, it's not a big deal.

Basil Zempelis (2:09)

And your kids aren't even there right now.

Susie O'Neill (2:11)

No, for some reason, it's really bugging me. Maybe Bill's girlfriend might have accidentally taken it.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:15)

Her boobs are the same size as your boobs?

Susie O'Neill (2:18)

I don't know.

Basil Zempelis (2:19)

What brand is it?

Susie O'Neill (2:20)

The top is Lululemon and the pants are LSKD.

Basil Zempelis (2:23)

Surely you'd know that it's yours or not.

Susie O'Neill (2:25)

Yeah, it wouldn't be hers.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:26)

You don't have to think so.

Susie O'Neill (2:28)

Anyway, it's not a big deal. I don't know why it's frustrating me.

Basil Zempelis (2:30)

Has she been over there since Bill's been over there?

Susie O'Neill (2:32)

No, but he left after I lost him.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:35)

Is she not with him overseas?

Basil Zempelis (2:37)

I guess she wouldn't be.

Susie O'Neill (2:39)

He's in Indonesia.

Basil Zempelis (2:40)

He's working. He's only there for a month or so.

Susie O'Neill (2:41)

He's only two months.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:42)

He comes back in November. Still, gee, they'd be a bit separate.

Susie O'Neill (2:46)

Every year, they spend a two or three months apart.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:48)

Oh, okay.

Susie O'Neill (2:48)

Because he always goes, he does weird things.

Basil Zempelis (2:50)

They'd be having video sex and stuff. Ah, Skype sex.

Susie O'Neill (2:52)

Don't say that. What even is that?

Basil Zempelis (2:55)

I'm not uncomfortable saying that.

Nick Allen-Ducat (2:57)

It's just two people in front of a screen.

Basil Zempelis (2:58)

I had the worst. I can't even tell you. You had it? On the show. I've had to do it before. This is the extra one.
