Chapter 1: What cultural respect is acknowledged at the beginning of the episode?
It's a Lot is recorded on Gadigal land. We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land and to elders past and present. We also would love to extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening today and remind you all that sovereignty was never ceded and it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
It's a lot, isn't it?
Nightmare fuel. We love a nightmare fuel. What the hell is this going to be? This is a little workplace nightmare fuel. You know what I miss so much? It's actually sad that you and I – well, it's good that we get along. You are my only employee and my assistant Jules, but you're my only full-time employee. So it isn't sad that we get along, but it is sad that we don't have like –
Yeah, there's no random workplace gossip. No. Yeah. And when I used to work a nine to five, it was so much fun like having like little like beef with people you don't really know because like you, I don't know, they put the coffee pods in the wrong way or something. Yeah. Or you go.
They made a weird comment in a meeting.
Yeah. And you go, oh, can you believe Sandra said that? Like. why the hell is she doing that? Like one time I remember when I was going to Scotland, we had after work drinks and I was doing a little silly Irish jig in the kitchen going, I'm going to Scotland tomorrow. And then this girl said to me, that's Irish, not Scottish.

Chapter 2: What do the hosts miss about traditional office environments?
enemy for the rest of time that i worked there i was like i know sandra not a real name i'm just having a i'm just i've had a few wines we work a nine to five life is awful all right although she brought me joy by bringing me drama point is we don't have any office gossip because it's just you and me we have our own personal life gossip yeah But sometimes I really miss it.
So – Here's a taste of it. Here's a taste. And please send in your office gossip. Like I – also a lot of my friends are creatives. I'm sure yours as well. Yeah. We don't have – if you have office gossip, it's like you can't really say it because everyone's a freelancer and you want to get a job still. Like if you work a nine to five, that's actually your biggest –
That's the thing I miss the most. You're sitting on a gold mine. Yes. Send it in. Stop being selfish and send it in.
All right. Hello, Abby and Amy. Oh, it's a pleasure. Yes. To send in this Nightmare Fuel. I think it's going to be short, but I'm also a bit of a rambler. So who knows, Chookies, we could buckle up. Yes. Now, I have loved a lot of the Nightmare Fuels so far. I particularly like all the globe trotting ones.
Chapter 3: How do the hosts describe their current work dynamic?
Really, really lovely stuff. But no, Chookies, today is about something much more sinister. Oh. I date women so it's actually not about dating because that's quite a caring activity. Although that's to say that there's never been uncaring. Anyway, I digress. No, this is actually about my corporate job. Yes, you heard that right, my corporate job. First of all, who the hell are you?
Come in. Who the hell are you? My favorite thing to do is to go wah, wah, wah.
Long lost sister.
I'm obsessed with her. You know, I made – on FBoy Island we had this cello player and when he got evicted – well, it was not an eviction when he was sent to Limbro or was he sent to the Nice Guy Grotto? I can't remember. But he played – he was playing the cello and I made him go wah, wah, wah. On the cello. Love that. And they edited out me prompting him, thank God, and he got the praise.
He was so lovely. Yeah. And he got the praise for it. But everyone on set was acting like I was being a cunt. I go, this is going to be his moment. Like I was like, I was like, this is so, like he was a really lovely guy. Can't remember his name. I'm so sorry. Yeah. Whoever you are, I really liked you. You were really, really, really, really, really lovely.
And I was like, he was really sad because he'd been dumped. But then you went big brain moment. And everyone acted as though people on set were like, we couldn't believe you did that. We couldn't believe you were so mean to him. And I go, that's not mean. Zoom out. Guys, foresight. He's not going to care about this. He's known this girl for two weeks. He won't care when the show comes out.
What he will care about is everyone loving him going, wow, wow, wow. After being eliminated from – that is fucking funny. Anyway, ever since then I've loved just doing it in conversation.
All right. I would say I work in quite like a relaxed corporate office. Like it's not – I don't work for like a huge consulting firm. I'm just kind of like vibing. But I'm very much giving personality hire who dresses extremely well. Yes, I'm going to toot my own horn.
Yes. And also queer. Yes. So everyone can like gossip to you and like ask you because then you'll be like men suck, this is fucked. Like you're the reliable break up with him person. Yes. And you probably give them really good relationship advice because the lesbians have been through it all.

Chapter 4: What is the 'nightmare fuel' story shared in the episode?
Can she be our personality hire? Yeah. I mean, what can we get her in for? She can just come in once a week and she'll be a like quote unquote consultant, but she'll just tell us her office gossip. Okay, let me get your email, Queen.
I'll give it like 50 bucks. 50 bucks for an hour. I go, come in, 50 bucks. We just need something to get us through.
There is a woman, let's call her Annabelle. Now Annabelle has had her eye on me, not in a dating way, just in a way she's been looking out, she's been looking at me. And I could see she tried to come over to me and talk to me a lot of times and she finally plucks up the courage and she comes over and she goes, well, you've halved in size. What? What the fuck? Crazy opener.
Well, you've halved in size. Okay. Okay. It's like you really can't say thanks to that.
You can't say thanks at all. But you also go, are you trying to insult me or do you think this is a – Genuine compliment. Like you know how like boomer women who eat like a cracker and a slice of tomato, how they, it's a whole day and a Diet Coke, how they think the best thing in the world you can be is they would think that?
Yeah.
Pinnacle of compliments.
They would love someone to say that to them.
They would love someone to say you've halved in size. Yeah. So you go, are you trying to be nice or are you like trying to be the most evil woman on the planet? Which one is it?

Chapter 5: How does Annabelle's comment impact the hosts during their conversation?
And it was, like, pushing on that.
None of this makes sense. Yeah.
Because at first you go- Or it's like one of those pranks where she's got an earpiece in and they're, like, feeding in. It's like the Inspired Unemployed are in her ear going, like, say this. LAUGHTER
That's the only explanation as to why someone would be so inconsistent in their views and their approach.
And like so out of pocket.
Yes, and dying to tell someone about the sensual, beautiful experience. I mean, as you just heard, we thought we were going to feel sorry for her. Now she's gone. Having sex with a woman is gross and it's a threat. Yeah. Or is she genuinely asking, are you worried about not getting it?
What's happening?
What? So all of this has happened in the space of a day and I know it's not like some dramatic nightmare fuel like crazy, but I just thought to myself like this woman had not one, not two, but three interactions with me where I did not ask any follow-up questions and she managed to tell me that my sex life was disgusting, but it was also sensual because I kissed my partner on the lips.
Anyway, I found out she divorced her husband last week, so Annabelle, I know what's in your future. Yes! Anyway, hope you enjoyed this random corporate nightmare.
