00:07:43
Speaker
And I think we will kind of edit into this part of of the podcast here.
00:07:56
Speaker
Just going back from Topo and just listening to um the Shwindow. Had a bit of a Shwindow story this morning. Decided to spend the night the hotel in Topo last night with an old friend, you know, just a bit of a fucking walk down memory lane.
00:08:21
Speaker
and um My shwindow come along at about 5.30 in the morning, and so he or she was still asleep. I decided to take advantage of my shwindow, and I went in there, and three perfect tubes, um out they go.
00:08:41
Speaker
But they don't have a brush the... and the in the Shwindow location. There was no brush and I wasn't about to leave that sort of evidence behind for um my counterpart for when she got up for her Shwindow, I mean he or she, sorry, got for her Shwindow.
00:09:03
Speaker
um So yeah, had to improvise and just get a fucking bunch of toilet paper and um remove the evidence of my Shwindow.
00:09:17
Speaker
Better living, everybody. I love that tagline at the end. It just ties it together nicely. Oh, bro.
Shane's Chafing Story
00:09:26
Speaker
oh Oh. Yeah, I've made a couple of mental notes there about that story.
00:09:33
Speaker
one of them the um I think he's very right in not leaving any evidence especially that could be used for DNA purposes which yeah don't know how effective number twos are but yeah surely can't be good um my and my questions are more so around technique you know was there a bit of a wrap around did you mummify your own hand first and then go in for the ah clean yeah was it a tool assistance did you have to get knuckles deep and if so how many knuckles how long did you spend washing that hand afterwards
00:10:11
Speaker
And surely there would have been some sort of, um if not toilet paper, then plastic bag or or something that you could have used.
00:10:22
Speaker
Sock. ah some form of PPE. the Pulls a tube out of the toilet roll. It's a scrape. I don't know. Did you give it a couple of hopeful flushes beforehand, you know? Just hoping it would walk away. Go down, you bastard. Go down. Yeah,
00:10:42
Speaker
yeah cool story there, bro. um Very, very timely too with the shwindow being a hot topic at the moment. I think coming off the back of that shwindow, I had a post in there about ah my window had caused me an external phallus laceration yeah and uh yeah fuck i just got chewed up for not installing the toilet seat properly yeah well you know yeah i think that was quite a vulnerable moment ah for you as well one why you because we haven't got that um retelling of of your portfolio make sure that when i send snaps they disappear
00:11:18
Speaker
Well, that was, um yeah, that was a series of misfortunate events. And, you know, coming off the sharing of the Shwindow talk. Yes. And um it was, i was actually, you know, watching that.
00:11:31
Speaker
I'm not too proud to say, was watching that while I was doing my business. You know, my story about what happened and things like that. Good job. Anyway, you've got to put the phone down and that, and I do need to allude to this part.
00:11:44
Speaker
We had a... There's a bit of a backstory here I think we need to dive into a little bit. So going back a few months, we had toilet seat cover on there, and that's the one place where Sky sort of goes in and and does her makeup.
00:11:56
Speaker
This particular day, she's gone to go and sit on the toilet seat, and it's fucking cracked. So off to Bunnings, go and get a new toilet seat cover. So rip the old one off. It fucking terrible paru shit.
00:12:09
Speaker
All in between where you have to, um you know, use your fingers and screw and unscrew bits and pieces to take the lid off. Anyway, done all that. Yeah, they're fiddly fucking things, eh? Mm. Gone to go and put the new one in there. Tightened it up as best as I could. Had a look around. Had no more spare parts left.
00:12:25
Speaker
And it's... It's on there, but it's not a snug fit. And it does move a little bit. But, hey. Yeah. That's the Mrs's toilet, the ensuite. I sort of leave it to her. Rarely do I ever go in there.
00:12:37
Speaker
Yeah. up until last week we had a couple of visitors over you know trying to be curious think oh won't use the main bathroom we're going to use the beyond suite i'm in there doing the business bro and yep it's moving around a little bit but i thought you was aware of the situation i was in so as you tour get towards the end of it and you know you're going have a bit of a clean I've maneuvered my body slightly and, you know, this all sort of, these movements happen in milliseconds, you know, it's not, I can.
00:13:10
Speaker
Something you've done over and over again, multiple times, it's almost muscle memory, eh? It is. And your movements and your way that you. Contort your yeah lower half. Yeah. You know, you know.
00:13:21
Speaker
So as I'm trying to do that, bro, you know, I've slightly taken weight and pressure off the toilet seat. Yes. And scooted forward and then reapplied that dead pressure. Um, unbeknown to me when I scooted forward, bro, the top of the, the phallus went in between the toilet bowl and the seat. And then I've reapplied pressure, bro. And it is just bit the, don't know. Yeah. Slightly North of the foreskin.
00:13:48
Speaker
Yeah. It's just but right there, bro. That's exactly what happened. And, um, yeah, fuck even like trying to shower off afterwards, you know, like,
00:13:59
Speaker
Fuck, it was stingy, you know, and I could feel where the slit was straight across the top of the yarn. So you turned into the laceration, which implies that there was a ah clear cut, like a laceration. It was. Exactly, yeah. Oh, my Lord.
00:14:18
Speaker
It was not ideal. No. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, bro, because it is... probably Something you know, you'll probably, ah hopefully never feel that fucking feeling again.
00:14:29
Speaker
Look, I'm happy we give you a platform to to to discuss this but as well. I used Cutschat as a platform to discuss it where I put myself on show. you know, you put your form on fleek, you've be open to critique, and I forgot about that that day because, boy, did I get fucking judged.
00:14:49
Speaker
Well, right from, you know, um... not not ensuring the right installation, or even if it was the right seat to, um ah there was there was some, um yeah, you probably have a better recollection of of some of the more targeted areas of your incident. Yeah, obviously I'm stepping into a health and safety realm at work, doesn't mean I take it home with me, does Yeah. I don't think you anyone brought that up. Aren't you actually a health and safety officer? It was brought up. It was. You know, they're talking about PPE. How can you eliminate the hazard?
00:15:26
Speaker
how can we isolate this? Is there any reason for the substitute? I think your counter argument was that it was app poorly constructed or manufactured. did. I went off on that angle just to try and some of the heat on me. Just deflecting. I blame. yeah Share this blame around. oh yeah. i Good on you for sharing that story, bro. I think we all had a... I wouldn't say a laugh, but ah probably more of a wince and then a last slight giggle.
00:15:56
Speaker
And I hope it's yeah educational for the next person. Yeah, yeah. So the follow-up questions is how are is the laceration progressing? Are we... ah we past the the um do the the shower stage of... of I am healed.
00:16:17
Speaker
Healed, okay, cool. Let's go, yeah, yeah I am healed. So, to pre-laceration function. Yes.
00:16:29
Speaker
ah I'm just happy I never had push with another time but what are we nightmare to try and Manage keep that is a party trick. Yeah, you want to see something cool? Oh
00:16:46
Speaker
This guy's been like, oh, Mitch has got his dick out of again. Oh, good stuff. um
00:16:57
Speaker
I've got to say, bro, like, um I've had to replace a toilet seat. We had a young fella. one of the boys mates drunk as fucking stumble over and knock the toilet. Warren's birthday? Yeah. so And to be fair that toilet seat's not really quite I was going to mention it but I didn't want to bring up too much trauma that it's not quite sort of sitting right as well.
00:17:22
Speaker
But those measurements on toilet seats are I'm a grown man and I can't if fucking can figure that shit out. No. I thought it was a one-size-fits-all deal. No. I've learned since that time when that happened. I haven't done it long time, but there's these traditional shapes. There's the D shape, which has got more of a flat...
00:17:41
Speaker
ah Hinge end? Yes. And then the sort of D-shaped lid? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's the the more oval-shaped ones. But then those, the ovals are different size.
00:17:54
Speaker
And also the size of the toilet seat, the the width of the seat itself is all different measurements. but And finding one for a toilet for a house that's built maybe quite a number of years ago, but it's hard. yeah So I understand how you can easily not get those things to sit securely because they're made for current toilet seats. So yeah, I've been there thankfully if not yet.
00:18:22
Speaker
Something made. Lacerations have all been made. The junk is intact. But it's not the only poor form story you had, because we haven't had you on for while. You've been banking some. so yeah Yeah. I think the other one is ah so the rubs of raw ripoff.
Poor Form & Clothing Mishaps
00:18:41
Speaker
Bro, just saying, hearing those words, bro, just hearing those words. um So yes, I have been MIA for quite a while, missed the last potty where there was the lead up to me telling the story. So given the opportunity, bro, we'll share it here tonight. i i Might as well.
00:18:58
Speaker
And goes back to the school holidays. All right. So the general manager of our company, who sits in Gladstone, put his young fella, he's 60 years old, just out of his 60th, not too long ago, a couple of months.
00:19:11
Speaker
And he's got five-year-old son. So throughout the holidays, this boy was going to holiday care so mum and dad could go to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. he gets to the very last Friday of the school holidays and decided he's going to take his boy out for a Father Sunday. Yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker
So come Friday, sweet son, what do you want to do? i want to go breakfast here and do this and that and then later on I want to go for a swim. Cool, no problem at all. So they do their thing they want to do in the morning, cruise down to the local swimming hole, local pools, and it's packed, bro.
00:19:47
Speaker
School holidays. They've got inflatables and fucking all sorts of shit. Lines are out the door. Yeah, I imagine, yeah. So I but was like, ah, fuck this. So he rings his daughter. Hey, are you home? Nah, we're out. Oh, we're good to go around for a swim in the pool.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. Help yourself. So, you see this, having this young fella pull up to his daughter's place. Oh, okay. So, they get from the communal pools gone to a private one. Yeah. Gone to, yeah, yeah.
00:20:13
Speaker
So, they get there, bro, jumping. Young fella jumps in and swimming around. and Daddy, Daddy, can you come swimming with me? So, Shane. Let's call him Shane because that's his name.
00:20:25
Speaker
Shout out to Shane. Yeah. Shout out, Shane. Anyway. Dad, Dad, can you come for a swim? Yeah, no worries. So, Bucky jumps in, he's got these Adidas sort of rugby shorts on at the time, mucking around. Couldn't have been nearly longer than 20 minutes, jumps back out.
00:20:39
Speaker
Watching his young fellow muck around, bro, and he can just feel, you know, sensation rubbing between his legs. Ooh, fuck. Feel that? Oh. Stay here for another 10, 15 minutes, drive back home.
00:20:51
Speaker
So all of that time sort of pass, bit of thigh rubbing, you know, and he hasn't done anything to sort of mitigate that. that effect immediately he sort of let it he sat in it up for a and so be he damp it's damp yeah yeah that's not good either no so by the time you know it finishes up gets home in shower gets changed as in the thighs are chafed And it doesn't get any better over the weekend.
00:21:17
Speaker
So Saturday Sunday, he is fucking in pain. Comes to work, bro, and you can see he's limping. And at this stage, didn't even bother to ask, you know. He must just be a bit tender, bit sore. He's getting a old, you know, getting a bit on.
00:21:28
Speaker
The next he's limping again. could be a number of ailments, bro, at that age. Yeah, yeah, Anyway, gets till Thursday, bro. He gets till Thursday, and he's fucking in agony. And, you know, by then, we've learned that, okay, he's got chafe.
00:21:40
Speaker
Can't be good. Anyway, his wife, by... by um All right, she is a nurse practitioner. ah she She works in a hospital? Yeah, one below a GP, a nurse practitioner. Yeah, right, okay.
00:21:54
Speaker
And she works in a medical centre. Yeah. So she comes home, she has this cream and a box of pads, sanitary pads. Sanitary pads for, and like, adult people or just... Correct.
00:22:10
Speaker
Yeah, so like the... Very similar to what a female would use during that time of the month. Oh, okay, right, right. Okay, right, right, right. So I just wanted to clarify, was this an actual female sanitary product? An actual female? Or like an adult nappy. Adult.
00:22:27
Speaker
Yeah. Liner. Yeah, yeah that they those things. yeah So anyway, she said, the use this cream, wipe it down, put the pad in your undies. that'll help soak up any of the moisture and will start getting on top of this.
00:22:41
Speaker
Yeah. All right, yeah. he goes in, have a shower, lathers himself up with his cream, pulls his pad out. Now, he's 60 years old. He's part of that generation, you know, where men were men and not once do you ever, you know, think you're going to come close to handling a pad. Probably the first time he's actually held one. it It is. So he's peeling and he's telling me you know, it has these wing things and that that you have to open up and then get it to a certain point and I...
00:23:07
Speaker
Grabbed it, thought, okay, so I put it in myy pull my pulled my pants up. That's when he realised he'd fucked up. He didn't realise that one side is sticky and the other side is fabric.
00:23:18
Speaker
The sticky side goes inside your undies, sticks there, and then you pull up the non-stick side to the fabric. He's had it reversed. He's had reversed. um Because those, eyes I heard i'd imagine the wings are sticky because they fold...
00:23:36
Speaker
under yeah i'm not fully familiar with the whole mechanics like you have not yeah handled one which which will mean that they are flipped over so those wings will be on the outside yeah so near the chafe downswater in reverse and the sticky side has come up and just attached itself to his raw chafe yeah that's what i was thinking yeah so the wings are on the outside and sticky i So... Bro, that's like putting fucking...
00:24:11
Speaker
He's standing there, out of the shower, freshly out the shower, and he's sort of, not all the way up, but enough to be touching the chafe. oh And he is stuck in agony, and the dog comes and jumps up on his leg just to see, hey, Dad, what's going on? you know He's trying to shake the dog off his leg. Meanwhile, he's talking peeling the sticky sanitary pad.
00:24:38
Speaker
mitigating the movement to stop it tearing. So i was trying to be as blase and open-ended as I could with that name. The title, sorry. The Rubbed Raw Ripoff. Yeah, yeah. So you didn't know which way it went and I don't think anyone would have guessed it was a fucking... Oh, bro. So... He would got it off, but... Disgraciatingly. Yeah. He was painful.
00:25:01
Speaker
Yeah. On already... Palms out. Rubbed Raw. Palms out. Fucking pushed up against the wall. Just contemplating life bro. Hot sweats. Just realising you are in deep. Yeah.
00:25:16
Speaker
And there's only one way out. Make your next move very carefully. This would be your last. I was in Fitz when he was telling me the next day.
00:25:28
Speaker
think he regretted that. um Because, yeah, I just lost it, bro. I thought it was hilarious. Jeez, what could you do, though? Like, at that stage, if you rub that raw, aloe vera, maybe? I don't know. What's the... Because, um yeah, have any sort of cream you'd want to make sure that it's not going to aggravate it.
00:25:51
Speaker
And trusting in his wife, you know, as he should because she is a nurse practitioner. Wow. I think she kind of stitched him up a little bit. Like i expecting him to know how to operate a sanitary pad. Effectively.
00:26:04
Speaker
go through verification of competencies competency competencies to operate and things like that, bro. You know, daily he preaches on about them. Like, fuck. So what happened? Didn't do you take five?
00:26:21
Speaker
is a ta waiver the It could be a new learning exercise for um super for students. What would you do in this situation? how would write up a a report or how to mitigate your risk and all that sort of risk assessment.
00:26:38
Speaker
Oh, geez, Shane. Sorry about that, mate. we We all feel your pain and I'm sure, yeah, um hopefully ah things come right down there.
00:26:51
Speaker
And, you know, Did you learn something new? Oh, fucking I did he. It's a learning process. It's great. And here's me trying to give him shit a few days later. he Should we go for a ride?
Nostalgic Ornaments Discussion
00:27:05
Speaker
Benjamin. He won't be sitting down for a while. ah Yeah, cool. Yeah, well, I'm glad we got well got some of those poor stories, poor former stories caught up because it's ah I don't intend to make too many mistakes, so apart from rocking up to the... Touch wood brew. Yeah, I'll just open the floodgates now. But you always make sure can't afford gas now before I leave the house.
00:27:30
Speaker
If not, start swerving. If not, I'd known could have swerved all the way up to M1 and made it home. Made it home, yeah.
00:27:41
Speaker
Where was that advice when I needed it? Murphy's Lurie always comes when you don't need it. Yes. Oh, yeah, well, um we'll probably keep this one short and sweet.
00:27:53
Speaker
That's sort all we had to chat about. But if you do have any poor form stories that you want to share with us, um and look, you can be anonymous if you want to. I won't name names.
00:28:05
Speaker
But, yeah, send them in to kuzchatpodcast at gmail.com. That's kuzchatpodcast at gmail.com.
00:28:15
Speaker
Yeah, I'd love to hear from you. We just wanted to sort of finish on something light and sort of see where this leads us. But we were talking before about just some of the stuff that our parents had in their house that was just kind of ah but either a bit off or odd or just downright creepy.
00:28:32
Speaker
And um immediately both you and I went to keeping with the toilet theme. um The olds had a couple of figurines or ornaments. Yeah.
00:28:44
Speaker
I don't know, I think that's the closest close tot the term I could call But knowing our family and their sense of humour, they were quite odd little things, eh?
00:28:57
Speaker
they They were. and they was I think it was that sort of generation, bro. They all sort of just enjoyed having odd trinkets around the place. Yeah. ah Because that certainly wasn't the only one in the house, or outside the house for that matter.
00:29:09
Speaker
and And still to this day, you go around there and think, oh, fuck, that's odd. um I think the one that we both remember was a Because i I remember a few, and I'm going to get confused about the characters and the and the quote that they had on them, but...
00:29:29
Speaker
There was one about, and I think it was, i think it was an ashtray actually, but it was in the toilet. On the windowsill. And it was sort of like it had, it was shaped into a um,
00:29:44
Speaker
Almost like a toilet, but an ashtray. Yes. Like in its kind of basic shape. And then it had the words written on the top of Quirky quote sort of thing the side of it. So that one was, gentlemen, stand closer.
00:29:59
Speaker
It may be shorter than you think. I think was the wording on it, which was a play on the, like a cigarette. you know, gentlemen stand close, but it was in the toilet, so it was a pun on, you know, don't piss on the floor.
00:30:16
Speaker
Oh, okay. But I think that was a double meaning there, and that's what that was the sort of humour that they had, is those puns and stuff like that. There was also
Family Video Reflection & Closing
00:30:26
Speaker
an Indian one, do you remember that one?
00:30:29
Speaker
Something about keeping my wig warm, or that might have been at Aunty Shane's place, because know she had some too. Yeah, no, can't. But the way they were designed were like, it was like a porcelain and it was obviously like maybe clay or something like that probably. So they shaped them into that and it was just real weird looking faces and just the style of it, eh? Like just like real creepy. Those old school trinkets. Yeah, yeah.
00:30:58
Speaker
We were saying today, even at the Chinese shop, you know, how many of those Chinese shops have the waving cat? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All those, out yeah, I think more cultural, specific to to Chinese takeaways. It's the same place I see them. I don't forget a lot of Chinese homes, so that's my scope of experience here.
00:31:21
Speaker
But yeah, I'm trying to think of the other creepy things. I definitely know Anna McGee had some creepy stuff in her house. Oh, yeah. I mean, I had those whole collection of Smurfs. That's probably one of the creepy things. But yeah, she had a whole bunch of those sort of porcelain type ah things as well.
00:31:43
Speaker
there was some There was one there that I always got a giggle out of, which was the, it was a little poem of, I think it was Goodbye Crew World.
00:32:02
Speaker
kiss the stars on high. May the stars kiss the bright blue sky.
00:32:11
Speaker
May the sky kiss the green, green grass. But you, my friend, can kiss my ass. I think that's it. I didn't make a review of that. That was crazy. Yeah, that was crazy. Something like that anyway. Yeah, yeah.
00:32:25
Speaker
But it was on one of those porcelain figurines or ornaments. Yeah. And every time i went to the toilet, I'd read it and get a giggle out of it. Yeah. So yeah.
00:32:38
Speaker
The original toilet humor. Yeah. Yeah. So, but yeah, if you've got any creepy things, your parents still have or had or send them into the, the cause chat podcast at gmail.com.
00:32:51
Speaker
um Yeah. Send us pictures as well. Yeah, I think even the Oldsburg, they had quite a few. The one remember, and that's a kind of creepy now to think about it, was how long they had that organ for.
00:33:03
Speaker
Like it was your age. That was my organ. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Piano, accordion, but it was a stand-up one, eh? It was, yeah. But it had the ah accordion side. um It was really old, though. It was, you know, creepy sounding, too. like Yeah, those yeah.
00:33:22
Speaker
It's Alan's family sort of vibes. Yeah. Yeah, like a, almost like a, a pipe organ. It was, it was weird. It had that switch that was a You had to roll it, yeah. just turned a knob and clicked.
00:33:35
Speaker
Clicked and then it, ah I don't know, it flowed or something? Yeah, it would like whir up. Whir up, yeah. And then, then you could start playing it, so. I don't know what happened to that thing. I would have loved to keep it, I guess, um if I'd had the opportunity to bring it over here, maybe.
00:33:54
Speaker
But, um yeah, I think it didn't make the multiple moves. It actually may have got taken out. was It was at Lockerba. I remember being at Lockerba Drive. Yes. No, I do too. Yeah. Next to the dining table. But they still had the beach house then, though, as well. So i'm wondering if some of it got carted over there and then it got demolished. Yeah.
00:34:14
Speaker
ah table a table it did find the other day So I've dug out my old camera, right? And I've got a bunch of these digital eight tapes. Yes. Actually, I want to get your live reaction on this thing here.
00:34:30
Speaker
You may want to stand up for this one, bro, or if you can... Yeah. I'll chuck it on the screen for you. but Where is it? It's in May 2005. two thousand and five
00:34:43
Speaker
That a... Holy... I know. Yeah. Get balls. Get the muck. Fucking elbow.
00:34:58
Speaker
So what we're seeing is footage of the 2005 flood and the damage that it caused to the old house.
00:35:09
Speaker
And I dug this out of an old tape and converted it to digital. And yeah, I'm going to... I contemplated sending it to mum, but I think it might be a bit too trauma traumatic. So I might ask her first if she wants to see it.
00:35:23
Speaker
But this is actually you recording it. Yeah, true. Far out. I remember that day, bro. Yeah. Yeah. When we go down there, we had to fucking park up towards the pub, I think, and walk down from there.
00:35:38
Speaker
Yeah, right, because it was inaccessible. Yeah. No car parks.
00:35:43
Speaker
You can see right through the house. Like one side of the house is completely gone, and and there's just debris, and there's like mud.
00:35:54
Speaker
A sleeping bag too, apparently. Yeah. oh yeah So yeah, I've got it it's like an ah like a nine minute video of that afternoon that you spent there.
00:36:09
Speaker
Yeah bro, yeah. Camera crews and that. Yeah, there was a camera crew. got stuck in the mud. Yes. So I'll skip ahead. His mum talks about it quite a bit.
00:36:21
Speaker
And then i think there's a bit at the end where... Totally, totally incredible. There's car buried there. She said what cracks me up is she says I'm um'm ah at a loss for words but just but then proceeds to do quite a few words to describe how she's feeling. It's one thing my mother's never been here, at a loss for Is it working? Is this cameraman stuck in the mud? Yeah, yeah true. Yeah, Linny as well.
00:36:53
Speaker
2005, bro. Yep. This was. It was, bro, May... Who needs a new pair of pants then? May 12th or something like that. Yeah, yeah. I've got the exact date, that the... um the tape has the, like when you watch it on the original camera, it tells you when it was, what time as well.
00:37:12
Speaker
Uh, I think I do stick it on actually, uh, at the start. Let me just scrub through. ah no, it doesn't show up. That's right. It only shows up on the camera, but yeah, yeah, that's okay. It should be, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:37:28
Speaker
So, um, yeah, I've been sitting on it for a while. Uh, but and i thought oh was just seeing this to mum and i thought it might be actually quite traumatic watching back through that and seeing all that carnage again yeah but it was bro yeah so yeah cool um but yeah we might well wrap it up there and was getting late this is because approaching both our bedtimes going get up again early in the morning um but yeah i really appreciate you taking the time to out of your
