Susie O'Neill (0:26)

It's a bit lame. It's not so bad. It's a bit lame.

I'm sort of rolling my eyes as I do it.

David Lutteral (0:31)

Well, you're here now, so...

Susie O'Neill (0:32)

Okay, let's just do it. Got anything else? At least one half too lame to do on the show proper. Well, this wasn't going on the show proper.

David Lutteral (0:38)

Oh, okay, right.

Susie O'Neill (0:40)

The other ones. By the way, we're in the 530 Club, obviously.

David Lutteral (0:44)

Why don't you troll your shit there? You mean the main show.

Susie O'Neill (0:46)

Actually, yeah, we should do this there. That beta test of 530 Troll your shit there.

David Lutteral (0:50)

It is fun. You can just get away with anything there. 530

Susie O'Neill (0:53)

Give us an example of what you're doing. Okay, so nicknames for workmates. If someone's a wicket keeper, they put the gloves on and stand back. Harvey Norman. What's a wicket keeper, mate?

David Lutteral (1:02)

Like these are just like what you'd call lazy workmates or nicknames.

Susie O'Neill (1:05)

These are nicknames for workmates. Oh, a wicket keeper. What is it? Puts on gloves and stands back.

Harvey Norman. No interest, zero interest? Three years, no interest. Sensorlight.

Okay, enough time. Speaking of, have you got something going on here? Yeah. You got a cold sore.

I haven't noticed that all day until just then.

David Lutteral (1:51)

It's actually... It's been there for like four days. Because you were like, oh... It's on the way out, but when they're on the way out, they get like that red, rory...

Did you notice it and just not say anything a while ago?

Susie O'Neill (1:59)

I thought you might have cut yourself shaving. I didn't realize it. That's what I should say. Stop licking it.

David Lutteral (2:03)

Sorry.

Susie O'Neill (2:05)
