Speaker 8: phone and took the calls from the people who were
Speaker 8: trying to contact the current affairs.
Speaker 4: Lovely Dorothy.
Speaker 8: There were some people out there. Ally, you must have
Speaker 8: met a few crazies in your time.
Speaker 6: Look there, we get them all. I've got to say,
Speaker 6: we get them all.

Speaker 3: there are still phone calls.
Speaker 6: Most of your emails. Yeah you are some of the year.

Speaker 3: was enable to speak right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So there you go. There's nothing you can throw
Speaker 6: that we haven't done.
Speaker 4: It's a water mark job that one.
Speaker 1: Hey, I want to talk parental guidance because the premiere
Speaker 1: is Monday, seven thirty on nine and nine. Now just
Speaker 1: quickly before we get to that. I believe you had
Speaker 1: our very unclinched cent away over for a little barbecue
Speaker 1: the other week, Lauren, and.
Speaker 5: Really because I see I got a crisis call.
Speaker 4: He went, yeah, I was very panicked.
Speaker 5: Ali, he'll be nervous.
Speaker 2: We chatted about it on the show. You can probably
Speaker 2: hear the anxiety in my voice.
Speaker 7: I've got the audio from that day. Take a listen.
Speaker 2: Had an interesting weekend. I went to a colleagues's house
Speaker 2: on Saturday night. From your Favorite Chart, I love it.
Speaker 2: The host of The Current Affair, Alison Langdon. She looks
Speaker 2: like a bit of far I was running late and
Speaker 2: I'm like, what do I take? So I texted ahead.
Speaker 2: I said, what do you need and they said, we
Speaker 2: need some more beer. So I bought three different lots
Speaker 2: of six packs.
Speaker 5: Assortment.
Speaker 4: I was like, you can't take hims variety.
Speaker 5: Actually embarrassing all variety pack of beer.
Speaker 8: What did your husband say when Clint turned up with
Speaker 8: three different.
Speaker 3: Flavored Well, obviously he had text and Mike not me,
Speaker 3: because I don't. I don't love beer. And I would say, mate,
Speaker 3: bring the shardonnay. And we've done enough, you know, shifts
Speaker 3: together on weekend Today show that you should know this
Speaker 3: about me.
Speaker 8: I said to him, you can't also just turn up
Speaker 8: and three six packs is weird?
Speaker 5: You got to take four?
Speaker 8: And I was like, you also need to take something
Speaker 8: for Ali who's hosting.
Speaker 5: So did you turn up?
Speaker 2: So what I did is three quarters away there after
Speaker 2: texting Lauren, I had made a detour to another bottle shop,
Speaker 2: two stops. It's got a load French champagne, forms a
Speaker 2: beer and a champagne for Ali.
Speaker 3: You know, the thought was when he walked in with
Speaker 3: it all, it's like, mate, are you moving in for
Speaker 3: the weekend?
Speaker 6: Are you staying?
Speaker 5: And how long? Did he say? Because I did say
Speaker 5: don't stay too late.
Speaker 8: Do you guys have got kids, Clint, You've got to
Speaker 8: do the weekend Today show in the morning.
Speaker 5: Don't stay too late. Was he hard to go?
Speaker 3: That was That was my concern that he had an
Speaker 3: early start the next day. But look, you were you
Speaker 3: were pretty well behaved As someone.
Speaker 2: Who's got plenty of experience with early starts. Ali coached
Speaker 2: me on how to deal with the hangout this morning.
Speaker 5: What is the key?
Speaker 6: It's like, if you reach a certain point, just stay up.
Speaker 6: It's easier.
Speaker 5: That is good at.
Speaker 1: Hey, parental guidance, Alie, it is back. Premiere is Monday.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned at seven point thirty on nine and nine.
Speaker 1: Now you guys are hitting a heap of topics. I
Speaker 1: love the show. I've got three young boys. I know
Speaker 1: social media.
Speaker 7: AI. That'll just terrify me. What some of the stuff
Speaker 7: you're hitting this season.
Speaker 3: So this season is different, right because like at the start,
Speaker 3: you know, we did things like we talked about smacking
Speaker 3: and all.
Speaker 6: Once you've done that, you've done it.
Speaker 3: So we're just doing the big topic so that the
Speaker 3: whole first episode is about screen time and like we
Speaker 3: get the kids to go online and create a chatbot
Speaker 3: friend and that is what every parent needs to see,
Speaker 3: you know how, Like we're kind of behind the eight
Speaker 3: ball with social media and our kids got on it
Speaker 3: and we sort of realized the damage it was doing.
Speaker 6: This is the next big thing, So this is this
Speaker 6: is what you've got to see. And then we do
Speaker 6: like mental health, peer pressure and body image.
Speaker 7: It's going to terrify me, isn't it.
Speaker 3: It's gonna look, it's gonna it's gonna firstly terrify you,
Speaker 3: and then you realize it's okay.
Speaker 6: We've just got to understand it and you've got to
Speaker 6: be ahead of it. But we talk about.
Speaker 3: Consent and things, and there's some scary views in the room.
Speaker 8: There's a lot of parents out there that have watched
Speaker 8: this show and they feel quite like horrified or sometimes
Speaker 8: as shamed that they've let their kid get to a
Speaker 8: certain point. Everyone watching it has a different experience of
Speaker 8: the show right at their times. You're a mom at
Speaker 8: there are times when you're like seeing things that just
Speaker 8: horrify you.
Speaker 3: You just you learn so much from it, And I
Speaker 3: think the whole thing is regardless of like all these
Speaker 3: different pairenting styles, everyone's there trying to do their best
Speaker 3: and everyone just looks at it going, you know what,
Speaker 3: no matter how much we're stuffing it up, Alice's doing
Speaker 3: a way worse job. And that's actually why I'm on
Speaker 3: this show. It's just to make everyone feel better about
Speaker 3: what they're I just no, no, I'm being honest, absolutely not.
Speaker 3: Although my husband says I am the best parent for
Speaker 3: a month after we film this show.
Speaker 1: I just get frustrated when I see experts on TV's
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, you've got to be you know,
Speaker 1: you've got to be watching everything that they're doing online stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's like, mate, I'm also trying to get their
Speaker 1: food and doing lunchboxes and waiting exactly, Like there's got
Speaker 1: to be realistic ways to approach this stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look there is, but I think it's like what
Speaker 3: you're letting them on and understanding, like there's a couple
Speaker 3: of games that a lot of little kids play, which
Speaker 3: is just you've got a lot of predators on there.
Speaker 3: So like, so as soon as you know what that
Speaker 3: game is, and then it's just doing your research and
Speaker 3: realizing what's safe and what's not, and that you can
Speaker 3: put these parental controls in place, and then yeah, you
Speaker 3: don't have to be looking over their shoulder all the
Speaker 3: time at what they're doing. But it's all those little
Speaker 3: things that particularly like if you're sort of a bit
Speaker 3: anti tech, you just realize that it's not that hard,
Speaker 3: it's not that scary.
Speaker 6: But you've got to be across.
Speaker 1: It's not all bad on a line of not thirteen
Speaker 1: twenty four to ten. I'd love to talk parenting fails
Speaker 1: this morning. You mentioned that apart from that one month
Speaker 1: after the show, Yeah, you're not the best.
Speaker 7: Have you ever lost your kid in public? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 6: Because of everyone. I've lost both of them at different times.
Speaker 6: Is that not a common No?
Speaker 7: No, no, I trust me.
Speaker 1: I've been at the part and I've DIALD two zero's
Speaker 1: and I've just thought I'll search for five more minutes
Speaker 1: and then I'll hit the last one.
Speaker 7: What about ever forgetting to pack their lunch?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, only only did that once and that was that
Speaker 3: was a big reaction.
Speaker 6: Yeah, big reaction to that.
Speaker 5: This is the worst thing you can do to a kid.
Speaker 5: Have you ever sent them to school in their uniform
Speaker 5: on casual clothes?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean everyone does, but that's their own fault.
Speaker 6: Like kids should have reminded.
Speaker 5: Me why didn't you read the notice?
Speaker 6: No, this is a problem.
Speaker 3: It's on a WhatsApp group, and the WhatsApp group is
Speaker 3: nuts because nuts?
Speaker 5: Have you muted your kids WhatsApp group?
Speaker 6: Tell the truth? That's the problem. It's always on mute.
Speaker 3: So I've got now one of the moms who texts
Speaker 3: me something important, because by the time I jump on,
Speaker 3: it's like I've missed two hundred messages.
Speaker 5: Just give me the top line.
