Speaker 1: On Saturday night.
Speaker 2: I was at a party with some friends and I
Speaker 2: got a call from my mum saying there's been a
Speaker 2: bit of an incident.
Speaker 1: And I said, what's happened?
Speaker 3: What time was this?
Speaker 2: It was like five o'clock on Saturday, I think, And
Speaker 2: my mom said, my stepbrother Lockey and his beautiful partner Haley,
Speaker 2: and their little boy Ned had been involved.
Speaker 1: In a house fire.
Speaker 2: So everyone's worst night man. They've got a beautiful eighteen
Speaker 2: month old Ned. They were at home at the time.
Speaker 2: They heard some unusual noises. Lockie thought maybe something was
Speaker 2: burning in the kitchen, and then he stuck his head
Speaker 2: around and saw the garage engulfed in flames, like bright red,
Speaker 2: roaring flames.
Speaker 4: Now, isn't that terrifying that the fire had already got
Speaker 4: to that extreme so quickly?
Speaker 3: They weren't aware of it so quickly, do you know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 2: It's so scary, Like you hear about this stuff, you
Speaker 2: see it on the news. You never think someone new,
Speaker 2: no or love is going to be in a situation
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: Obviously, garage at front of the house there, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, So they he realized straight away. He was like,
Speaker 1: get out of the house.
Speaker 2: Now, they ran out of the house, and it didn't
Speaker 2: take long for the majority of the house to be
Speaker 2: on fire, which is so scary, and it is just
Speaker 2: such a poignant reminder to make sure you have working
Speaker 2: smoke alarms, to make sure you check things in your home.
Speaker 2: I think we can all, like you know, I've got
Speaker 2: smoke alarms.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you the last time I checked that
Speaker 1: They're lucky.
Speaker 3: They're lucky it was like fire not overnight, because that's
Speaker 3: like you.
Speaker 4: Know, when you hear people have passed away in fires,
Speaker 4: a lot of the time it's they're asleep and it's
Speaker 4: the smoke. Yeah, So it's yeah, it's not that it's
Speaker 4: the fire, it's the actual smoke.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And this is something that could happen to anybody.
Speaker 3: That's an eighteen month old.
Speaker 1: It is just dogs in the house.
Speaker 2: So everyone got out and everyone is safe. The dogs
Speaker 2: got out. It I just I couldn't believe that this
Speaker 2: could happen to someone that I love and care about.
Speaker 2: It's so scary. Everything's destroid basically, I mean, it's still
Speaker 2: in the proce.
Speaker 1: This is all. I think.
Speaker 2: It's an electrical situation. There's still exactly we just bought.
Speaker 4: An old place and like I was saying to Lure
Speaker 4: the other day, going, I just feel like I want
Speaker 4: to spark you to come around and.
Speaker 1: Check everything, check the switchboards.
Speaker 3: You just don't know.
Speaker 2: So it was it was an electrical fire, which which
Speaker 2: is complicated I think because the fire brigade, who are amazing,
Speaker 2: but they can't actually go and fight an electrical fire
Speaker 2: until the power has been shut off. Oh really yeah,
Speaker 2: so you just have to watch like you want to
Speaker 2: go in there and stop it. But I think there
Speaker 2: are complications with putting out a fire when it's an
Speaker 2: electrical far it's too dangerous.
Speaker 3: I went, and I went and did.
Speaker 1: But the fire Brigade were amazing, fighters are so brave.
Speaker 4: I've got to go out to the training facility. This
Speaker 4: is a few years back and spend a day with
Speaker 4: the fieries and they set up like this will always
Speaker 4: stick with me. They set up a kid's bedroom, fully
Speaker 4: furnished in like a shipping container, right, so bed linen,
Speaker 4: stuffed toys, everything you'd expect in a kid's room.
Speaker 3: And he said, we're going to light a tiny little
Speaker 3: fire in the corner.
Speaker 1: I've got goose bumps.
Speaker 4: And he said and I just want to show you
Speaker 4: how quick it went up, And I kid you not,
Speaker 4: was within forty five seconds, under a minute. We were
Speaker 4: sitting there in the fire gear ready to go in
Speaker 4: and fight the fire. But within sixty seconds that whole
Speaker 4: room is engolfed. And it just it pointed out to
Speaker 4: me that if you're in a house and like you know,
Speaker 4: sometimes you just don't.
Speaker 3: Have a chance.
Speaker 2: No. Yeah, so I think she was in I think
Speaker 2: Hayley was cooking in the kitchen and something short circled
Speaker 2: in and then the lights went off in the kitchen
Speaker 2: and she was like that's unusual. Yeah, and then Lucky
Speaker 2: smelt something was like what is that? And it was
Speaker 2: just it all happened very very quickly.
Speaker 3: But it's just family possessions.
Speaker 2: I think they've got a lot of their family photos
Speaker 2: out of the house, I believe, because also then it
Speaker 2: just goes up and it goes into the ad it
Speaker 2: like into if you've got a badic or anything at
Speaker 2: the top, and then it spreads and then even things
Speaker 2: that like the damage from a fire, the smoke, the
Speaker 2: sort oh.
Speaker 4: Yell the water, because people go, oh, as long as
Speaker 4: everyone's okay, everything's replaceable, that's easier said than done.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? Like, you know, think
Speaker 3: about everything you've got in your house, everything has memories.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course of course they've lost. Yeah, they've lost
Speaker 2: so many things. So it's been it's been tough for
Speaker 2: them and for their mum. But this they're displaced currently
Speaker 2: now Melbourne.
Speaker 4: This is where the story takes a turn, because my god,
Speaker 4: this is a roller coaster.
Speaker 1: Is this week?
Speaker 3: Lauren?
Speaker 2: I said, why don't you guys come and live with me,
Speaker 2: which you would do to anyone in this situation.
Speaker 3: It's like saying to someone you go on the airport,
Speaker 3: let me know if you need a lift? Do you do?
Speaker 3: You everything?
Speaker 1: But you don't mean that I meant, and I was like,
Speaker 1: come and stay with us. We've got spare rooms. We'd
Speaker 1: love to spend some time with.
Speaker 3: Ned and Lauren.
Speaker 4: What did that family with an eighteen month old say
Speaker 4: to you when you say, why don't you move in
Speaker 4: with me?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they were pretty reluctant to
Speaker 1: move in with me, to be honest, But what happened
Speaker 1: last night They've moved on in.
Speaker 2: Guys, I've got to live in baby at my house.
Speaker 2: Am my step brother and my sister in law, who
Speaker 2: are absolute legends, and I'm like, well, it's like the

Speaker 1: we are going to have fun. You and your partner
Speaker 1: Paul don't have kids.

Speaker 2: and I said, tonight we're having takeaway Japanese or tie
Speaker 2: let me know. And then I said, what on earth
Speaker 2: do children eat with your permission?
Speaker 4: Only because I know it will put every parent in

Speaker 2: my step brother and sister in law. I'm tired, and
Speaker 2: their beautiful baby need have moved in for a little
Speaker 2: for a week or so, potentially two, potentially a year,
Speaker 2: We're not sure yet. But they are at my house
Speaker 2: and I'm learning about how to live. But he's not
Speaker 2: a baby like he walks and he runs, but you
Speaker 2: can't have a conversation with him yet.
Speaker 3: I'm going to get to that.
Speaker 1: This is where I got confused.
Speaker 3: So I want to go through something said.
Speaker 1: What do you want for dinner?
Speaker 4: And he was like, Eh, don't ask them, no, you
Speaker 4: just give it to him. Right, never asked them because
Speaker 4: what if he says, what are you going to do?
Speaker 3: You never know?
Speaker 4: You can't say, Lauren, So you sent me a text
Speaker 4: message and by all means, if you want to get involved,
Speaker 4: there's something Lauren hasn't thought of. Thirteen twenty fourteen, you
Speaker 4: sent me a photo of your open pantry.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, yeah, before they arrived, and.
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, that all needs to be arranged.
Speaker 4: There's the bottom shelf is all glass bottles, are.
Speaker 1: Booze champagne bottles, but surely he's not picking them up.
Speaker 3: Side note it looks like you live it at Dan Murphy's.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: Then the middle shelf is cans and just above that
Speaker 4: is glass vases and plates. He will be able to
Speaker 4: reach those, so that needs to be rearranged.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what the one thing you missed? And I
Speaker 2: missed in that photo because I was like, okay, I
Speaker 2: think I've moved plenty of things. And then my sister
Speaker 2: in law said, do you want to just come and
Speaker 2: take a moment to look at where what's on the
Speaker 2: second shelf in the.
Speaker 3: Oh they are giant knives. Yeap, that is they are
Speaker 3: huge and he can definitely reach those.
Speaker 1: Yep. Yes, so they went. They went.
Speaker 4: I then received a text message because he've got to
Speaker 4: six thirty and I sent your message saying, hey, what's
Speaker 4: the update.
Speaker 3: Have they arrived?
Speaker 4: You sent me an adorable photo of the eighteen month
Speaker 4: old with your dog, and the message says they have arrived.
Speaker 3: He is walking around the house holding a can of
Speaker 3: Margarita mix in one hand and patting the dog with
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 1: Well, possibly go rock Margarita mix. It's that good one.
Speaker 1: It's pink. He liked the colors, so that was his
Speaker 1: little Maracca for the night.
Speaker 4: I said, do you need anything dropped off? Any toys,
Speaker 4: et cetera. Can you please read out They reply that
Speaker 4: you sent to me regarding a toy.
Speaker 1: The closest thing to a toy I could give him
Speaker 1: was a cocktail shaker and he loves it.
Speaker 2: Well, it ticked the boxes. It's shiny, it's got the
Speaker 2: little shaker thing in so it makes noise. It's metal.
Speaker 2: We could spit of a weapon.
Speaker 4: Also, in breaking news to me, you text me last
Speaker 4: night at nine point thirty to tell me I can't
Speaker 4: confirm eighteen months. You can have conversations, which is disappointing.
Speaker 4: He knows where his eyes are. He showed me sixty
Speaker 4: two thousand times. He also knows where mine are because
Speaker 4: he poked me in them six times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. He knows.
Speaker 2: This is where's mate? He doesn't know how to say it.
Speaker 2: I have to say where's your nose? And He goes
Speaker 2: nose and then he like, hits mine. Where's your eyes?
Speaker 2: He goes eyes and then he touches my flocking my
Speaker 2: step brother warm. He said, this is a very dangerous game.
Speaker 2: Don't stop playing it.
Speaker 4: After you pointed out the second thing, nose, then eyes
Speaker 4: and he hit you in the nose and he hit
Speaker 4: you in the eyes.
Speaker 3: Did you think maybe we should not continue.
Speaker 1: With this game, because then he knows where his tongue is.
Speaker 2: The big mistake I made was saying we have a
Speaker 2: gas fire and I had it on in the afternoon
Speaker 2: before they arrived, so the house was cozy.
Speaker 3: Oh no, then the grill will be high.
Speaker 1: Can't touch it. I tried. I tried to say, oh,
Speaker 1: come here, Ned, now, don't touch this.
Speaker 4: Come here, Ned. Let me take you over to the
Speaker 4: extremely hot iron bar.
Speaker 2: So I said, don't touch this because it's hot, and
Speaker 2: he went hot and I was like yeah, and then
Speaker 2: I touched it and went to just show that it
Speaker 2: would hurt, and he thought it was so funny that
Speaker 2: I'd hurt myself. So he was like, I want to ouch,
Speaker 2: so he and I was like, no, don't touch it,
Speaker 2: it's ouch, and he was.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, you're doing that fun voice if you go,
Speaker 3: oh what.
Speaker 1: Do you do? Do you grow? Ah? Also I touched it,
Speaker 1: so don's out, don't touch it.
Speaker 3: But that no, okay, I book your motel.
Speaker 1: So look, it's going to be fun.
Speaker 3: A couple of things.
Speaker 1: It's going to be great fun. You got no, but
Speaker 1: I've got barstools and quite well back on it. He can't, like,
Speaker 1: he's cool, we can sit up. He's eighteen months.
Speaker 3: It is your couch? What?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I paid my white couch.
Speaker 2: He had that painting book thing that they have and
Speaker 2: I was like, and I'd said to them, guys, well
Speaker 2: you live here. Our house is your house. Make yourself
Speaker 2: at home. Houses are for living in. I don't want
Speaker 2: you to be stressed. If you know, ned touches things
Speaker 2: like except like just tell me if I need to
Speaker 2: move things and then couch a little painting book and
Speaker 2: no no.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, it's fine. My house is your house.
Speaker 3: You should have put sheets over it like our parents
Speaker 3: used to back in the day, you.
Speaker 1: Know, plastic thing. He's so cute, though, what's.
Speaker 3: The bin situation for dirty nappies? Do they go in
Speaker 3: the kitchen bin?
Speaker 1: Does he still wear nappies? He's eighteen months, they do
Speaker 1: I go to the toilet yet. Oh he's probably.
Speaker 3: He's probably learning to get the toilet.
Speaker 1: Oh, I haven't thought about that. That's their Actually that's
Speaker 1: their problem.
Speaker 3: But what's like you want him in the kitchen?
Speaker 2: I mean the dog Purp goes in the outside bin,
Speaker 2: so he's probably should do. Why don't they make nappies
Speaker 2: you can flush? That would be a great inventortion.
Speaker 3: Don't get them to flush the nappy.
Speaker 1: Don't flush the nappies. Okay, I won't flush the nappies either.
Speaker 4: What about the TV situation? Because I know you love
Speaker 4: Tipping Point.
Speaker 1: I love Tippy. I think he'd like tipping.

Speaker 3: What time did he go to bed last night?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: What'd you do?
Speaker 2: I didn't have anything to do with it. I was
Speaker 2: like this, I've heard you talk about black Hawk down hour.
Speaker 3: That's what I refer to it.
Speaker 1: I went and hid in my room. I was like,
Speaker 1: I do some work.
