Speaker 1:
These are our confessions. That was symphonatic.
Speaker 2:
Is that a word? I'm not sure that it is, but welcome back to another episode of Confessions, one of our favourites.
Speaker 1:
We also just learned that we sound like Muttley. Wait, listen to this, guys. Listen, listen, my laugh is a wee. Listen to this. Listen to this, guys. Listen, listen, my laugh is a wee. Listen to this. If you guys have not watched, what TV show is that off? Anyways, it's a cartoon character. His name is Muttley and he laughs like both of us. We wee so last time.
Speaker 2:
What we realised in Confessions is that we were laughing, but you couldn't hear us laughing. It just goes silent. It's like a little wheeze.
Speaker 1:
It sounds like mumbling.
Speaker 2:
Like I can't even do it, but you'll hear it again, no doubt. But we are back with some confessions and I am ready.
Speaker 1:
We are ready for this. We've got some good ones.
Speaker 2:
We're ready for you to confess your sins, our child.
Speaker 1:
Our child, our child Rose, is again sporting her nun headwear, and it is adorable.
Speaker 2:
Actually, I really am digging it, you just need your what was that little bib?
Speaker 1:
Please bring it next time. It's the habit, yeah.
Speaker 2:
The habit like the full get up. I mean, like we said before, you don't confess to a nun. But here we are.
Speaker 1:
Let's go for it.
Speaker 2:
You read out the first one. Okay, I have an incredible job in a corporate role, but I got the job on a fake resume. I used a pile of resumes that I was going through at my old workplace. I feel bad, but my career now is amazing.
Speaker 1:
This 100% took me back to the Jennifer Lopez movie second act, where she faked her like education and went for a job that she smashed it in Like. This is 100% Jenny from the block.
Speaker 2:
I haven't seen it, but I'm like she's obviously smart enough to do the job and it just goes to show.
Speaker 1:
I'd be screwed.
Speaker 2:
I wouldn't be able to. I wouldn't be able to do it.
Speaker 1:
Day two. They'd be like where did your resume come from? Because you don't have any of these credentials.
Speaker 2:
I'd just be sitting there pretending I'd be like.
Speaker 1:
I don't know how to spell.
Speaker 2:
I mean she feels bad but she's got a career now. But I'm like I would be always scared that like that lie was going to come out. Same and they're like remember that time that you worked at that place, and you're like like oh, I'm introducing, introducing you to somebody who also worked alongside you.
Speaker 1:
Do you remember this person? No, I don't think we're in the same department oh my god, good on you, babe, but that's scary yep, I'm like.
Speaker 2:
You know what goes to show that you don't your education don't mean shit sometimes exactly fake it till you make it well. Well, she is mate and she did make it.
Speaker 1:
Okay, let's go to. I haven't had sex in six years, or was it six months? It was six months.
Speaker 2:
Six months, it was six years.
Speaker 1:
It was six years. I haven't had sex in six years and I don't even think I remember how to do it anymore. Who the fuck would? Six years, you're dry.
Speaker 2:
Well, she can't be dry, drunk dry as a nun's nasty dry is my little fake nun's nasty like it's drier probably.
Speaker 1:
Well, it could be wet, but maybe it's just never had any action. Six years might be a few cobwebs, I'd say so. But, babe also, this makes me like super interested because even if, like you, haven't been in a relationship for six years, modern day world like aren't people going out on tin and like?
Speaker 2:
getting some pee. I would say so, but maybe she's not confident. I think maybe the longer you leave it like, the less confident.
Speaker 1:
Is it just like riding a bike, though?
Speaker 2:
I'd say so, baby.
Speaker 1:
Just get on it.
Speaker 2:
Riding a bike without the seat.
Speaker 1:
I think she just needs to go out and just do it, and just if it's embarrassing the first few times, oh well.
Speaker 2:
I don't even think it would be embarrassing. How embarrassing can it be?
Speaker 1:
Maybe she's forgotten how to gyrate.
Speaker 2:
Maybe she's forgotten how to orgasm herself.
Speaker 1:
Like get some toys? No, but surely she's. She's servicing Fang dangling. I just made that up.
Speaker 2:
Honey, if you haven't had sex in six years, we do hope you're fang dangling, yes, in some way, shape or form, but you will remember how to do it. Honestly, it can't. It's riding a bike. It's riding a bike, could you? Ride a bike, I think so Huh, can you ride a bike?
Speaker 1:
I don't know, I think so I haven't done it in a while. Same same, Same, same same.
Speaker 2:
Okay Okay, we accidentally used hand sanitizer instead of lube. Straight on my pussy, it was on my?
Speaker 1:
Was it inside or on the outside?
Speaker 2:
On the outside, I don't know, but they've used it as lube, so I'm assuming, like maybe she's quickly put it on. How wouldn't she know that she was feeling fresh immediately? She's like I laugh now, but at the time I was not no doubt. How did they actually? Would that burn? Yeah well, it's alcohol, it's pure alcohol.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, but if you spill alcohol on your puss, would it hurt?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but that's like I mean, was this during COVID? I mean, you were fresh.
Speaker 1:
At least your puss wasn't getting COVID.
Speaker 2:
Protection at its max baby.
Speaker 1:
All right, I want to break up with my best friends. Oh, my best friend, she treats me badly and mocks me jokingly in front of people. I think the breakup is pretty serious. If you have you had that conversation with her of like, hey, you constantly do this and I don't like it. If you've already had that conversation and she's still doing it, then break it off.
Speaker 2:
I agree, because that's that's a red flag, that's a red flag in a friendship.
Speaker 1:
I mean, I mock you sometimes, but we do it jokingly and you're not putting me down.
Speaker 2:
Like no it sounds like she's mocking her jokingly in front of friends and making it like embarrassing.
Speaker 1:
She's the butt of the joke every time, but she treats her badly as well. So, yeah, okay, yeah, it depends on the context. I think definitely have that conversation of like, hey, you're doing this and I don't like it.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but it's going to feel like a relationship breakup, I think, and I'm obviously saying she's wanting to break up with her best friend. It's probably why she hasn't done it yet.
Speaker 1:
It's going to feel like shit. And sometimes we hold on to friendships that are no good for us anymore, because I pronounce things wrong all the time and people pick it up and make fun of me about it. But I actually think it's funny. Yeah, I don't get offended. I'm like, yeah, I can't pronounce things.
Speaker 2:
But what if that was one of your closest friends? That made it feel like it wasn't a joke Like you're stupid. Yeah, that shouldn't be a friend.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2:
So, yeah, have the conversation, but also, if you've got to do it, let it go Like life's too, short to have shit friends.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2:
Yeah. High five to our friendship, yeah that's true, all right, see my muttly laugh. I accidentally downloaded porn on my work computer and I had to call ID to stop the icons popping up everywhere.
Speaker 1:
First of all, it wasn't an accident.
Speaker 2:
I accidentally quotation marks download a porn. How do you accidentally download porn?
Speaker 1:
Unless something popped up and you're like, oh, that looks interesting, Download. Oh whoops, it's porn.
Speaker 2:
Does that even happen? I don't know, but I'm like imagine honestly though. Imagine having to call your IT department down and go oh hey, I don't know how this happened, but there's like little porn icons everywhere. I'm just so shocked.
Speaker 1:
Also, do they have to let your boss know? Well, why the hell? What was the call down to the desk for? Oh, she had porn popping up on her boss's computer.
Speaker 2:
I'm sure this is going to HR. Do you still have a job?
Speaker 1:
Yeah, what kind of porn were you downloading?
Speaker 2:
Just DM us later.
Speaker 1:
Okay, oh yes, this is good. I accidentally called my boss, daddy on my first day, but hold on, I have questions. How?
Speaker 2:
What was the context?
Speaker 1:
Like hey, daddy, can I borrow your pen? Like, how did you call him Daddy? Was it a joke? No, I don't think it was. I think she accidentally, like she went to go call him and she said daddy. But also, why are you saying daddy?
Speaker 2:
I was like who's your daddy? Was he a good looking boss?
Speaker 1:
Imagine if he turned around and said yeah, I'm your daddy. No, the rest of the story was that HR called her into the office, wasn't it? Yes, oh, no, that was something else. No, was that what that was? No, was that what that was? No, it wasn't. So. She called her boss, daddy, she did.
Speaker 2:
Awkward, yeah, I know On your first day, babe, leave that, at least you know, for a couple of weeks or months.
Speaker 1:
Keep that for the bedroom.
Speaker 2:
Okay, I went to my friend's party and it was a great night. We were all drunk and I took a muffin for the ride home. In the morning I found my friend's doorknob on my bedside table. They still wonder what happened to it.
Speaker 1:
It was me. How do you think a doorknob is a muffin? What are you on? What did?
Speaker 2:
you do. Pull it off the fucking door. Oh, that looks like a nice muffin.
Speaker 1:
It fucking dismantled the door. I'm just picturing, though, like was she having a nibble on it.
Speaker 2:
All I'm saying is she's fucking lucky that she didn't go for a bite in the middle of the night. She would have broke some teeth. Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to lie. This has happened to me in another way. So when we went on leavers, you go a little bit wild and we were in the car doing some stuff and my friend kept turning the volume up in her car and I was like, oh, it's just too loud in here, it's too loud. So I kept turning it down and she kept turning it up, so I pulled the knob off the volume and I put it in my jeans pocket and I forgot about it, I forgot, I even did it.
Speaker 2:
And for a year she was using a pair of pliers to turn her volume up. And one day I put those jeans back on and put my hand in the pocket and I was like oh no, there's the volume knob and I gave it back to her as a present and she's like you, bitch, I would have hated you.
Speaker 1:
I would have been like this dog had my knob the whole time. I didn't know I had her knob and she was like.
Speaker 2:
You know, I've been using these for a year and I said, if I would never put these jeans on, you would have been using them for the rest of the rest of your life also, how cheap is it to buy a new knob, can you? Yeah, but we were like 18, oh, we were babies. So she used pliers for the rest of her life, I know. And she had a car that was so bung and if she's listening she'll laugh. She had a like an old 1985 suzuki no, not suzuki uh a barina.
Speaker 2:
Is it a su Barina?
Speaker 1:
Datsun or the door.
Speaker 2:
Okay, my dad used to be freaking out when I used to go with her because one day, like he found her door handle on the ground, Like. So we drove off and her door the handle off.
Speaker 1:
Her door fell off.
Speaker 2:
And he's like can you please give this back to your friend? I found it on the driveway and I was like oh, my God. She had the shittiest car these days. That would be yellow sticker you wouldn't even be allowed to drive that shit. What have we got? Oh, I love this one because it's me. Is this actually you? No, but it is also me. Okay, so I'm an adult and I didn't know that pickles are pickled cucumbers and not their own vegetable.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
I think I thought this, but also, but also like don't cucumbers grow on a tree, like? So I thought I was like cucumbers, because they're so tiny. The pickles are tiny. I was like, how can that be?
Speaker 1:
I thought it was its own breed yeah, well, I'm saying I thought cucumbers grow on a tree and this bish thinks you're picking cucumbers off the tree.
Speaker 2:
No, you're picking cucumbers or picking gherkins.
Speaker 1:
No, they're the same in a vine. They're the same thing.
Speaker 2:
Gherkins and cucumbers are the same.
Speaker 1:
And pickles, they're all the same. Why are they called gherkins?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but that's my point.
Speaker 1:
Gherkins and pickles are the same as cucumbers, just the pickled version.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, but sometimes on the jars there's like pickled cucumbers and then some say, gherkins, I need to Google this. Oh yeah, so I'm not the only dumb one here.
Speaker 1:
Anyways, and why are they so tiny?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, well, they don't come off trees, they come off the ground. They're like premature.
Speaker 1:
You're picking the babies.
Speaker 2:
I know no one wants a tiny one. Nah, I like a big pickle Big juicy one.
Speaker 1:
Okay, I literally love everything made from tomatoes, except for I hate tomatoes.
Speaker 2:
These are nice and gentle confessions, aren't they? But what do you mean?
Speaker 1:
Tomatoes taste like tomatoes, like she means like the oval processed stuff. Like tomato sauce, ketchup, pasta sauce, like the tomato-y stuff, anything made from tomatoes. Pizza-based tomato sauce. Like anything made from tomatoes, but she hates tomatoes.
Speaker 2:
She actually hates the tomato. I suppose they have a little bit of a different flavour when they're just a tomato.
Speaker 1:
No, it's just mashed With a bit of salt.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I suppose you know, on the radio I actually heard someone say I don't like potatoes.
Speaker 1:
Nuts.
Speaker 2:
And I was like, what the fuck Like how?
Speaker 1:
I don't know. They're the most delicious thing in the whole world there.
Speaker 2:
There is nothing you can't do with the potato. Straight away on my mind, I went I totally went, I went to the gutter I was like well, there is certain things you can't do with a potato, but literally everything else mashed potato, I know, actually, do you know what?
Speaker 1:
though? You hate hash browns, which is weird I don't like hash browns.
Speaker 2:
They're gross, gross. She buys me hash browns all the time.
Speaker 1:
They're delicious. They taste good cold. Oh yuck no.
Speaker 2:
There's texture, it's a texture thing. There's texture and it like breaks apart.
Speaker 1:
What about potato rosti?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, kind of like them.
Speaker 1:
It's a different texture. It's kind of like a hash brown. No, it's not. Oh, beg to differ, Yep it's different, let's agree to disagree. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2:
How can't you love mashed potato chips and?
Speaker 1:
gravy.
Speaker 2:
You've got problems, girl.
Speaker 1:
Real problems, okay, oh well, this one's actually my confession. So you guys have all probably seen Scream. The movie Scream came out when I was probably 13 or 14. Don't know. Anyways, in one of the scenes they're walking to their car and they get their ankles slashed like the person is under the car. So any time 6 pm onwards I jump into my car. I don't stand close enough that I can get my ankles slashed just in case she literally like hops into her car.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, like stand close enough that I can get my ankle slashed, just in case she picks her. She literally like hops into her car.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, like I'm a good meter away, I make sure of it. I just can't. And so pre 6pm you get in the car normal.
Speaker 1:
Pre 6pm no worries at all. No one's going to slash my ankles After 6pm, even if it's 545, I'm all right to jump in 6.m.
Speaker 2:
one wins as soon as the dark falls I'm like I'm gonna get my ankle slashed.
Speaker 1:
I need to jump into my car fucking we're weird.
Speaker 2:
Humans are weird, aren't we?
Speaker 1:
I don't know why it goes back to that scene, but it does and that scene like triggered me.
Speaker 2:
I don't know why, but I can tell I'm scared look, we have to thank you for today's confessions. They were nice, lighthearted. Look, all we can say is, if you haven't had sex in six years or even six months, make sure you do fandangle yourself. Like Crystal said, don't call your boss daddy on the first day. No, and honestly, if you're that drunk and you're taking people's doorknobs home, I mean you probably should have stopped drinking prior to that.
Speaker 1:
Or whatever you took you probably shouldn't have taken and I hope your teeth are okay and I think you need to give your friend their doorknob back, I think, like wrap it up and give it to them in a present.
Speaker 2:
But to finish, today, what we were going to do is a. Would you rather yes, here's the question. Would you rather be cheated on?
Speaker 1:
Or be the cheater.
Speaker 2:
Be the cheater? And, more specifically, would you rather be cheated on and not know about it and just continue living your happy life, your oblivion? What would you rather be?
Speaker 1:
I would rather be cheated on, would you? Yeah, because, first of all, I could never cheat Like I. Just it's just not in me.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
I could never, ever cheat, so I would rather be cheated on, but then I would want to know about it.
Speaker 2:
You would want to know, you would rather find out.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I know I can't, I want truth. I would prefer to live in truth and no, yeah, I would rather it's a. It's a real tough one. I was like I don't want the hurt, I don't want to hurt somebody else. Neither but also I was like fuck, like would I rather cheat than be the one being hurt?
Speaker 1:
Like, but I couldn't cheat, but you're also causing hurt.
Speaker 2:
It's so.
Speaker 1:
It's a very tricky one.
Speaker 2:
It's a tough one. If I was being cheated on, I 100% would prefer to know Same.
Speaker 1:
The people that say they don't want to know. Why don't you want to know? You're going to be with that person and are they going to continually cheat on you yeah, behind your back, or like I don't? I wouldn't want to be touching that d after I knew that it had cheated on me.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, I know I'm like where you been? Why are you juicy? Why?
Speaker 1:
are you juicy? Probably got an std but that's my point.
Speaker 2:
Some people actually would rather live without knowing because they just would like. They don't just would like they don't want to feel it.
Speaker 1:
They don't want to feel the hurt.
Speaker 2:
No.
Speaker 1:
That gives me the ick.
Speaker 2:
So would you rather because in our last confession we asked the question would you call your baby a name that your friend, good friend or family member or sister called had like dibs on?
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
It was divided, so 46% said that they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1:
But then how many said they would? Because that seems like a lot more yeah.
Speaker 2:
So people would. And then we had a few messages saying first in best dressed Depends when the baby was born. So would you rather? Is our next question. Would you rather be cheated on?
Speaker 1:
or be the cheater and would you rather know?
Speaker 2:
would you want to know? Or?
Speaker 1:
would you not want to know if you were? And if you were, the cheater? Are you telling them or are you keeping it to secret?
Speaker 2:
yes, if you have cheated, I wonder how many people have and are taking it to the grave.
Speaker 1:
I would say a lot of people do that you know what else do you think?
Speaker 2:
that people that do cheat and then don't say anything like regret it yeah, not regret it, but like they wish that they could get it off their chest, like these confessions probably but, then the wish that they could get it off their chest, like these confessions Probably. But then the ones that tell you so say, your partner tells you yes, I've cheated on you. Do you reckon they do it for their own guilt?
Speaker 1:
Most likely.
Speaker 2:
Because I don't think they're telling you for you, because if you had any respect for that person, you wouldn't have done it. You wouldn't have done it. You would have said look, I'm not interested, I'm not feeling the love anymore. I'm attracted to other people. Let's part our ways and give that person the respect, whereas when they tell you, I almost I feel like it's definitely to get it off their chest. Yeah, it's to get it off their chest.
Speaker 1:
Or maybe they regret it and they're feeling guilty and they actually want you to know I did this, but I wish I hadn't have of. Yeah, the fucking bastards anyway, would you rather?
Speaker 2:
we're gonna pose it. I'll pop it in the comments below and yeah, let us know. And remember to send in your confessions, because we absolutely love receiving them you will always be kept anon.
Speaker 1:
We will not tell your name out loud, but we will definitely tell your story. Thanks, guys, ciao.
