Speaker 1: Apodhape Production. Welcome back to another episode of am I
Speaker 1: A Bad Mom Podcast? And actually the final episode before Christmas.
Speaker 2: It's been a hell of yet like meaning positive. The
Speaker 2: positive of this is that we've had some mighty big
Speaker 2: milestones this year.
Speaker 1: So Gracie's last year of primary.
Speaker 2: School, Yeah, graduating, she's all.
Speaker 1: Done after high school. She goes off, she goes.
Speaker 2: I think the line of that week was like.
Speaker 3: Sea, I hope you get eaten alive in there on
Speaker 3: a transition day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, such a good mum off.
Speaker 1: She goes with new shoes and new attitude. I look
Speaker 1: back at twenty twenty four, I was like, wow, that
Speaker 1: was a big year as a parent too. My kids
Speaker 1: have both got jobs. Yeah, so they're both working, which
Speaker 1: is something that I wanted for so long.
Speaker 2: That's then driving and then driving. Yeah, it's been a
Speaker 2: huge year.
Speaker 3: And they're now like seniors technically seniors of the school.
Speaker 3: Eleven and twelve going into eleven and twelve, aren't they
Speaker 3: So that's the seniors of the school.
Speaker 2: They become the seniors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Elsie girl is pumped for what twenty twenty five,
Speaker 3: So she's.
Speaker 1: Going into seniors, isn't she.
Speaker 3: She's going into grade five. Yeap, and she's ready. She's
Speaker 3: ready to be at a school by herself. Kind of weird,
Speaker 3: but yeah, she's had.
Speaker 2: Another great, stellar year. And it's crazy.
Speaker 3: We're wrapping up to drop offs for you and for
Speaker 3: the first time in our schooling lives.
Speaker 2: So it'd be what like seven years of school.
Speaker 3: Next year will be the first year that I'll actually
Speaker 3: have to drive for drop off or pick up.
Speaker 2: I've had a good run.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you'd think I was late just walking across
Speaker 3: the oval.
Speaker 2: Let's wait to see what twenty twenty five will bring, and.
Speaker 1: Let's see how long it takes for you to work
Speaker 1: out the school bus.
Speaker 3: Am I a bad mum for going full detective mode? Yeah,
Speaker 3: this son is one of our friends that has gone
Speaker 3: all in.
Speaker 2: With detective mode.
Speaker 3: So can you imagine getting a word on the street
Speaker 3: that your son, whom is in high school has had
Speaker 3: their phone stolen from their own locker?
Speaker 1: Oh at school?
Speaker 2: At school, and I take it the locker wasn't locked.
Speaker 3: No, the lockers apparently were locked, and it wasn't just his.
Speaker 3: There was a group of like lockers hit and this
Speaker 3: is a proper private school, Like, yeah, this is the
Speaker 3: thing though, this kid whoever stolen the phone. It was
Speaker 3: just like that thing that you go, oh, mate, you
Speaker 3: stole the wrong phone because mom is straight onto it.
Speaker 2: But Dad is also a police officer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, probably didn't want to steal that one. No,
Speaker 3: Dad gets wind of it, and obviously mum's already like
Speaker 3: onto school and doing all of that stuff. So Dad
Speaker 3: straight onto it, goes to like look for the.
Speaker 2: Phone on Find your iPhone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and his son has turned off thinking he was
Speaker 3: a real smug, turned off the location settings, so there's
Speaker 3: no Find your iPhone on. So number one son is
Speaker 3: in big trouble. Yeah, Dad has like then gone straight
Speaker 3: into oh.
Speaker 2: Live three sixty. Yeah.
Speaker 3: As soon as Dad looked at that, he could see
Speaker 3: exactly where that person was with the phone house address,
Speaker 3: exact house. You can literally see it on the little
Speaker 3: map with like this exact address is where this phone is.
Speaker 1: So that's a real like rookie error for the thief
Speaker 1: because it's like, maye, you've stolen the phone, but we
Speaker 1: know where you are.
Speaker 3: I see the dad the day after and he's still
Speaker 3: on the phone to the actual school, going look, I'm
Speaker 3: giving you another chance to get this phone.
Speaker 2: I know the exact location. I know the exact address.
Speaker 1: Like the school would know if he gives them the address,
Speaker 1: the school would then surely be able to I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how hard that is for them to find,
Speaker 1: Like they could type it in or.
Speaker 3: They know exactly who it is because they've got the
Speaker 3: address of the property that the.
Speaker 2: Phone is at. Yeah, and you just link that.
Speaker 3: Back to the child who lives there that goes to
Speaker 3: the school.
Speaker 2: Like it was pretty Yeah.
Speaker 1: But what I mean is like, how like without going
Speaker 1: through five hundred kids addresses? Yeah, Like, is there a
Speaker 1: way where they can.
Speaker 2: Reco don't know.
Speaker 3: The other thing I had said to the dad was
Speaker 3: why didn't you just turn up to the house with
Speaker 3: your badge and a gun and just go right in
Speaker 3: your gun? The kid would never steal again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you would just have like.
Speaker 3: That moment while I would if that was me as
Speaker 3: a kid, where you'd be like, Wow, my whole life
Speaker 3: changed because.
Speaker 2: I would never do that again. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, with Life through sixty, you can see if the
Speaker 3: phone is charged, how much battery's left.
Speaker 2: He goes.
Speaker 3: I can see that whoever has got this is now
Speaker 3: charging it, and now at the same time, whilst they're
Speaker 3: charging it, like he could see it move around the house,
Speaker 3: go into the backyard, like all of this intricate detail
Speaker 3: that this kid's probably got no fucking idea that this
Speaker 3: is happening.
Speaker 2: Maybe they do well.
Speaker 1: This kid's like super excited he's got new phones.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But so this is the funniest part is the
Speaker 3: dad is sending message, oh, texting their phone, going mate,
Speaker 3: you've had a chance, Like we know exactly where the
Speaker 3: phone is, we know your exact addressed, Like, you've got
Speaker 3: a chance to return.
Speaker 1: This was the kid responding to the text nothing. No,
Speaker 1: because his kid's probably going shit, like what am I
Speaker 1: going to do now? Because his parents probably don't know
Speaker 1: that he's been stealing phones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or ransacking other people's lockers. No. Fast forward the
Speaker 3: day and then in the afternoon we find out that
Speaker 3: he has got his phone back. And so what happened
Speaker 3: was I think maybe over the few text messages that
Speaker 3: he possibly had received from the dad via this phone,
Speaker 3: and I would imagine obviously a lot of other things
Speaker 3: going on, this particular child has returned it back to
Speaker 3: the school and said he has no idea how it
Speaker 3: got to the bottom of his bag. Someone else must
Speaker 3: have broken into the lockers and shoved it into his.
Speaker 1: Bag, and that someone else was also charging it, like
Speaker 1: walking around the house, taking it into the guard.
Speaker 3: Going into the back garden with the child has obviously
Speaker 3: gotten to the point of going, oh, I'm not going
Speaker 3: to get out of this. Come up with then a
Speaker 3: plan to be able to lie a bit more, and
Speaker 3: then returned it back to the school.
Speaker 1: See like, that's great, and it's great that he's got
Speaker 1: his phone back, but I can't help but be disappointed
Speaker 1: that no one showed up to the house, and like,
Speaker 1: because how much would you want to see that kid's face? Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you go in uniform, my son's phone is missing,
Speaker 1: and Life three sixty says it's here. Like imagine saying
Speaker 1: that to the parent that opens the front door and
Speaker 1: seeing the kid.
Speaker 3: That's what I thought might have happened.
Speaker 2: And I don't think obviously that.
Speaker 3: This particular dad was allowed to do that, not as
Speaker 3: a police officer, but you could have gone just as
Speaker 3: a normal dad, like with you don't show you.
Speaker 2: That particular dad also was out on his Christmas party
Speaker 2: on the night that.
Speaker 3: On the night that had happened, and I was like,
Speaker 3: oh gosh, this could go anyways, Imagine it was out
Speaker 3: with all of his work mates Christmas party right over right, O, blokes,
Speaker 3: let's go and get my phone.
Speaker 1: Police will jump out in a meat wagon.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, if this did happen,
Speaker 3: it would be priceless.
Speaker 2: Imagine the kid's face.
Speaker 3: You would be horrified to see that happening, and rolling
Speaker 3: over a phone.
Speaker 1: That kid would be absolutely hot, Because what do you
Speaker 1: say in that moment? I'm so sorry I broke into
Speaker 1: your locker. And while you're here, I've got seven other
Speaker 1: phones just in case they've all got Live three sixty.
Speaker 2: I said that.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is a great way of seeing that.
Speaker 3: Obviously Live stree sixty actually does work. That's great for
Speaker 3: those reasons. The intricate detail of like exact locations, the
Speaker 3: exact address, like it's even got like the image of
Speaker 3: a house, how much of the land.
Speaker 2: It takes, like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just opening Life through sixty.
Speaker 2: Now your kids are still in bed.
Speaker 1: Yeah they absolutely are. No network or phone switched off
Speaker 1: since nine fifty six pm yesterday. Yeah, lazy fuck is
Speaker 1: still in and I know that because of life scuse.
Speaker 1: If they were awake, then they would be on their
Speaker 1: phones and they would be on. You know what else
Speaker 1: I can do. I can speak to the Google Home
Speaker 1: and I can shout wake up.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, get out of bed.
Speaker 3: My other last question to the Live three sixty is
Speaker 3: can they like location services?
Speaker 2: Can it be turned off?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: From their end, Yeah, they can turn it off.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is where you're gotta trust them or you've got
Speaker 1: to hammer in the story about stolen mobile phones and
Speaker 1: if you ever switch that off, you're not getting your
Speaker 1: phone back.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ever, goodbye.
Speaker 1: Ever through sixty outsmarted him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotcha that smart.
Speaker 1: Smart lazy kids still in bed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't kids, don't get lay well.
Speaker 1: Have a merry Christmas, everybody. Yeah, Marry New Year, and
Speaker 1: we will see you on January sixth.
Speaker 2: Stay sane, stay healthy, don't forget.
Speaker 3: Obviously, wine sometimes can be the answer, not every time.
Speaker 2: Mostly depends how the kids are going for the day.
