Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“You know how when you're a kid anyone older than you seems way older? You know, like, it's like, it's still crazy that like they were probably 60 but they smelled exactly 60.”
“Jack Russells are psychos. Just remember that.”
“Dogs are just like children. People won't tell me that.”
“I reckon go. I reckon we all have the virus.”
Alex recounts hiring an eccentric dog trainer named Graham who insisted on structure in the household — adults first, then dogs, then children — and used psychoanalysis-style reasoning about her dog Kyle's leadership issues, which ultimately worked.
Drawn from the episode transcripts.
Titled 'Sorry for Before,' the show is about Alex's lifelong habit of apologising unnecessarily (e.g. when someone bumps into her) and her attempt, ultimately unsuccessful, to stop doing it for a year.
From episode 634→The hosts and Alex discuss how each year seems to have a defining drink — espresso martinis a few years back, spritz and rosé more recently, canned seltzers emerging, and they jokingly speculate red wine (even red wine with Coke, a Hungarian habit mentioned) might be next.
From episode 634→Josh uses AllTrails, which lets users filter walks and hikes by features like dog-friendliness, stroller access, and paving, though Alex argues several of his 'hikes' (like Yarra Bend or 1000 Steps) are really just walks.
From episode 634→Every episode featuring Alex Ward on The Daily Talk Show.
