Speaker 2: by drinking Martini from a mug because we couldn't find

19
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: its real class. He looked anyway, start to feel obviously

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: a bit sick. Later on, my friends did the right thing.

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: They dragged me outside down the roads right so I

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: could hardly walk. Called my dad from a phone box

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: and then left me by a lamppost. So my dad

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: came to get me at midnight, and it took him

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: a while to get me in the car.

26
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: And that's what we're driving along.

27
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,720

Speaker 2: going to be sick or I think, just let me know,

29
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, I just project off

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: all over my dad whilst he's driving a car. You

31
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,240

Speaker 2: Let's go to Robert.

47
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: Hello, I've got a great story for you. I think

48
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: you could relate to this teenage daughters. Teenage kids won't

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: do as they're told. Always in their room, they won't

50
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: do their chores. Say look, do your chores. She runs

51
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: through a room, closes the door, say come on, come

52
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: out to your jobs. No, I'm not coming out, all right?

53
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: And then she goes to school on Friday. And I

54
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: had a plan, hatch. I took her door off her hinges.

55
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: She comes home and says, what happened to me door?

56
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 3: I take her out to the shed and I say,

57
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: there's your door. It was all in pieces. I cut

58
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: it up with the chainsaw. I think taking the door

59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 3: off the hinges was already sending the message.

60
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: The chainsaw was unnecessary. But that's Robert for you, guys.

61
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: It's not just Judy. What's your dad maildown story?

62
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: My dad absolutely lost it when I shaved Offfy's eyebrows

63

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised.

65
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: Why do you shave off your dad's eyebrows?

66
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: As my sister and I were in our early twenties
