Speaker 2: we've had to have a tough You can you can

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: start a bit of Elvis now if you're jesting it,

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: because you know what it is. It plays a huge

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: part of your life. But we've had to sit down

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: with our and leaving your old boy Lenny and have

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,319

00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: show you a photo of Porky Pine and Foxy Kate,

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: and they've been revived numerous times. They've died and come

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: back to life, but it's getting to a point where

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: there's so manky, they smell so much, there's health issues

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: that we're thinking about retiring Porky Pine and Foxy.

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: When you mean retire, what do you mean, you mean

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 3: put in a little keepsake box.

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: And what I mean is doing a huge bonfire in

18
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 2: the backyard and front Porky Pine and Foxy on.

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 4: The bond fox Seela.

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 5: So you know, my niece fits she has a Foxy

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 5: and the stench of fox Foxy, which is like ten

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 5: years of saliva.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 4: Disc four ten.

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: How manky did the security blanket get? What are you

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: still running with? The Other question I need to ask

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: is how old do you go? Are there adults out

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: there that still sleep with their security blanket?

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think I spoke to a woman once upon

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: a time, actually not that long ago, and she said,

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 3: her son, he's still in he's in his teens. He

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: still has a square of the blanket. He's a little blanking,

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: and he still kind of carries it round and it

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: gets packed into his suitcase when they go away in stack.

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: Is there an age that you've got to start moving

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: on about seven or eight?

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: I reckon? No.

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: Do you know what the child themselves will indicate when

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: it's time to move on?

39
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: You don't care a teddy bear?

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

41
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: I bet you do. Not a teddy is different to

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: a teddy bear.

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 4: Why were you but the Mardi gray? You're a big

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: I've been considered a teddy bear. You are with the

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: hair on your triceps. Take me to bed.

46
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: I think that sometimes it's not. I don't think there

47
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: is an age if you if something gives you some.

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 5: Level of.

49
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: Security.

50
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 5: My sister had a pinky, and pinky was a teddy

51
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 5: and the dog We've got a puppy dog, Jesse, remember

52
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 5: the one with the products volver to me that was terrible.

53
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: Sorry, told me about that. Guys on the Instagram.

54
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 5: Fixed Jesse's it was.

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: It was very popular, so it's amazing what people are

56
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: into Jesse.

57
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 5: Is up to today. Stephen Moore, mom had to put

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 5: cream on it. Yes, all right, didn't really help your

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 5: story anyway. Pinky got attacked by Jesse's pinky. Pinky was

60
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 5: a pink teddy bear and Pinky has lost had its

61
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 5: head ripped off like, couldn't recover it, and she was devastated.

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 5: So I sewed Pinky back up to try and help

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: my sister out, and I sewed it up without the

64
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: head on it, so I was just sort of broad

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 5: across the shoulders with no head.

66
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: But that lived on for hour. You did that, Pinky? Yet?

67
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: Discuss some god you know on that nickname in I

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: school Katie and Banks Meadow, What did you sleep with

69
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: Katie morning?

70
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Guys. I have a bear called Rosie Bear, and she's

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: given to me when I was born and I still

72
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: got her and I'm thirty six years old, and.

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 4: Where does she sit?

74
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 6: Well?

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: My husband won't let her in the bed. So the

76
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: compromise is she sits on top of the bed, on

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the bed head. But yeah, so we've come to that agreement.

78
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: But I will I don't think I'll ever get rid

79
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: of it.

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 4: Likely to have a husband, Katie, Katie, she doesn't need one.

81
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: When you first met your husband, Katie, what was the

82
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: introduction to Rosie Bear?

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: Was it hard or was he a bit freaked out?

84
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: Well? I kind of played at the heart strings a

85
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: little bit that was given to me by my uncle

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: who is no longer with us. So my husband couldn't

87
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: really say no, so I didn't really give him a choice.

88
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

89
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,000

Speaker 4: Yes, like a straight jacket.

113
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're like a straight jacket. So my son would

114
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 6: suck on them and then up until he was totally

115
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 6: about stick. He used it as like a rag. We

116
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: caught it stinky gray rats and he actually ended up

117
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 6: ingesting it.

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Over time because he sucked it so much. And we

00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 6: two centimeters of the cloth and the zipper.

122
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: That's disgusting that they were a parent. Did you consider

123
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: taking off him at all?

124
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 3: Mate?

125
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,640

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 4: Zip if you want, let's go to the drill at Cheryl.

127
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,320

00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 6: Cheryl from my grandson has the boy who calls ched

129
00:05:53,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 6: said it and it was a baby baby soft toy

130
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 6: things that I gave to him when he was first born.

131
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 6: Has soft arms and he sucks the arms and he

132
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 6: will not go to bed without them. We had twenty

133
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 6: and now we have four left because he lost them everywhere.

134
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 6: So we tuddled them in disinfectant and watched them every day.

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: And how old? How old is he now?

136
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 6: He's now six and he's still taking them to bed

137
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 6: with him.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 4: God, sure, well you don't go to bed with toys

139
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 4: or anything.

140
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 6: He will not go to bed without it.

141
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 4: But yeah, it would.

142
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 2: But then you sterilize them.

143
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: And you take your love out. I mean, isn't that

144
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: the smell isn't that?

145
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: And that's the thing. You basically your child is sculling

146
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: dettile every night. And I was sucking down on a

147
