00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: that's fine, Dad. They're going to have bacon and egg rolls.

00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: as well. We'll celebrate with the kids. Dad rocks up

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: to my face and then he goes, I'm going to

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: He goes, I'll follow you in the car. I haven't

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: been to Lenny's Primary school, but I'll follow you in

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: the car and I'll duck off a little bit earlier.

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: He's getting old. So then I take off and I'm

30
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: driving so slow, so slow. So I'm driving to Lenny's

31
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Primary school, got Lenny in the car, and I have

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: a look. I've gone through a roundabout. Dad's turned right

33
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: at the roundabout. W I've gone straight through it. I've

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: rung him straight away. I said, Dad, where are you going?

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Did you sound like you turn right? Where are you?

36
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: And I said, no, mate, I went straight. I said, so.

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: Then I've realized right that Dad's seventy nine. He doesn't

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: know how to use Google Maps. Like I said I

39
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: was about to say to him, just put in Lenny's

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: Prime Primary School, Saint John's in the system and I'll

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: meet you there. He's got no idea what he's doing. Cap.

42
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: I've also found out that yesterday at Father's Day, that

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: he's paying a data plan on his phone and he

44
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: never uses the internet at all. He doesn't use anything,

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: doesn't he he's paying ninety bucks a month for his phone.

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't and he doesn't use any data at all. Yeah, sure,

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: maybe he does. So for so this is the thing.

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: So I said, Dad, are you going to have to

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: find your own way there? And he goes, yeah, yeah,

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: I'll find my own way. I'll meet you there. So anyway,

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: we rock up. We had a great morning. Dad doesn't arrive.

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: Oh so Dad doesn't arrive. I'm like, okay, bad luck, mate.

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: Lenny goes into class. Then I get home on Friday AVO,

54
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: I get a phone call from Mum, where was your

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: father this morning? And I said, he turned right at

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: this certain round about and I don't know where he went.

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: Mum goes, well, he only just got home. He's been

58
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: out for four or five hours. And then I asked

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: him where have you been, meck and he said I

60
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: had things to do. He got lost. He's got nothing

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: to do. He retired eight years ago. He's got nothing

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: to do. Maybe he went and sat in the car

63
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: and cried, he's just in the street, Ryan, I reckoned.

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: He didn't go right. I said to Mom. He might

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: have I don't know. He might have a mistress. You

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: don't know. And that's why I'm suggesting fits when you

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: think he doesn't have, he doesn't use any data. He

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: might just be on the side. He might be meeting

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: he's online. Cook went right at the roundabout ham gone

70
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: for a drive and kay, I don't Nobody knows where

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: he went. And the only thing that he has said

72
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: to us is that I had a few things to do. Okay,

73
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: when he turned right? Is that the way to the

74
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: sand juts. He's famous for heading down to the beach

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: and hiding in the love it Lover's Lane lovers alone.

76
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Was he heading the Lover's Lane to meet his mistress

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: and make out in the car. We don't know. I

78
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: just don't know anymore, because you know what, he's close.

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: He's closest to the massage chair than he is to

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: mum these days. He just sits in his massage to

81
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: just rocking back and forth, hold shaken with a Bacardi.

82
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: He's off, He's off the car. Mum and Dad are

83
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: off the booze. Now, okay, so that makes it even weird.

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: And that must be the new girlfriend kicking in the gear.

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: She must be a health freak. Maybe she's a personal trainer.
