8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: I took her out for the first time on Friday night.

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: She'd never been in a car before driving it. Nopek reverse,

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: now straight it and then you can pull out that way.

Speaker 1: I saw yesterday morning in his Hi Visit orange floor

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: over top who just cycled past me and went, ohy,

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the break is your friend and said no more him.

00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: and take a right here down your case done. That's

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: why I hear a lot is this. You do a

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: very good job of remaining Come well, I'll tell you what.

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Yesterday she wanted to go out three times. You know

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: what it actually generally reminds me of as a dad,

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: is what I taught both my girls to ride their bikes,

25
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: and all they want to do then was get out

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: on those bikes. Because it's your freedom, isn't it. And

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, you don't remember learning to walk,

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: which is your first bit of freedom, take yourself wherever

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: you want to go, But your bike I remember, And

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: I looked at you, you thought, this is it. I'm

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: like an adult now I could just take off out

32
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: of here on my bicycle. And now she's getting the

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: taste of a different kind of freedom. She just can't

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: wait to get in that car. So yesterday I think

35
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: I confused her a bit. Yesterday when we were at

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: a T junction, I was giving her too many directions.

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: See if you can count play along at home, count

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: how many different ways I was trying to get her

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: to look stopping now, So just sort of just start

40
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: to break you always looking that way into oncoming, then

41
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: this way, and then back that way, that way, that way,

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: then that way. You can go at four up down

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: underneath it's just three sixty to scan everything. Get over,

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Get over now, it's where you hit me yesterday we

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: were approaching. I don't know, she keeps doing this. Maybe

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: we all did this way. You know, you see something

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: like I mustn't hit that, but you somehow gravitate to.

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: It was a flipping great boat. You know that people

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: just leave their boats outside the front of the house, right,

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: And it had like this huge twin propellers on my side,

51
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: and she was veering me into these two big propellers,

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, and they're blades. Get over, get over, not

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: even going Hey, hey, all the calmness from the breaks

54
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: your friend arrived, it's gone now. Because I actually thought

55
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to get mashed. You hit a boat. It's

56
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: a shipwreck on the road. Land wreck. Get over, get over.

57
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: You know what I realized yesterday, how I really don't

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: want to die. People would say they've had a near sperence, Loka.

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I just felt like it wasn't my time, so I've

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: still got life to the I don't want to die.

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: Get over, get over it. Yeah, I went that way,

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: not into propeller. So we face planting a propeller. I

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: own my money for my looks. People can't see on

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: the radios. Yeah, but they don't want to hear a

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: propeller face. Man, that is true. You don't want to

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,520
