Who knows. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.679 Look, if anything else, it'll be humorous. But I'm actually 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.640 I'm not on the first episode. I'm like up in 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.399 the skybox. Because it's Group A that competes in the 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.520 first I don't watch the first and then it's grouped 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.280 B that competes in the second EP, but you should 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:20.520 watch it. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.000 All too confusing how gerl Summers keep up? 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.520 You know, I don't think you can.

I want to see him move 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.240 his body across the dance floor. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.759 Or try to at least we're all. 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.240 Going to be tuning in. But I have a special 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.000 guest coming in today, guys, my very own boyfriend, all 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:42.440 the way from Switzerland Scotland, Benjamin ben Ben is here 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.039 in Australia, in the flesh. He's not AI, he is 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.880 real and he's coming into the studio just so I 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.840 can really prove to you that he's a real life human. 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.280 And you've been working on some German for us, I've 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.120 been working on some German. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.200 He's also petrified of Australian wildlife, so I've got a 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.680 little surprise in the works. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.960 All right, that's on the way. We meet Benjamin here 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.480 on the pickup around the country. We're back on the pickup, Britt, 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.160 Laura and Mitch here thanks to Chemist Warehouse. Right now, 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.560 get half price off cosmetics across the Maybelene, Revlon Rimmel 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.400 and a Nude by Nature range is all at Chemists Warehouse. 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:16.680 That's fine for this o, so ask gun Cut. It's 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:17.560 a show favorite. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.440 We also do it on the podcast on Life on Cut. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.799 If is where you write in or you call in 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.440 with your deep you're dark and your burning questions, and 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.200 we have a very good one today. Meghan is called 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.000 in with quite the predicament. Meghan, Hi, guys, tell us 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.000 what's going down. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.839 My daughter's twenty one. She's just got her first full 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.240 time job. You know, she's doing well. We're really proud 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.240 of her. But look, as you would know, time's are 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.600 tough at the moment, seems a really expensive. You know, 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.839 our interest rates, everything's gone up. So we've basically asked 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.360 her to start paying went and it's only one hundred 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.320 dollars a week. We think that's pretty fair. It's just 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.200 caused major grief in our household at the moment. Her 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.200 argument is we didn't ask her, you know, her brothers 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.280 and sisters to pay rent when they lived with us, 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.520 And to be fair, we didn't. But that was a 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.200 long time ago. Things have changed, living pressures, costs, it's 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.440 just it's so expensive at the moment, and she's refusing 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.040 to pay the rent. And I guess the question is, 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.400 and I'm sure other parents who have kids living at 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.240 home are going through the same thing. I'm like, I 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.760 think you need to move out it you've got to 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.040 pay rent. My hubby's so soft on her. He's sort of, 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.280 you know, avoiding the question. He's actually even had to 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.720 sort of start doing some uber driving on the site. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.320 How old, it's a lot. 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.400 How old were your other kids when they moved out 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.280 of home? You said your daughter's twenty one years old. 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.440 How old were you have two other children and one 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.320 other child. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.040 Two one was nineteen and one was twenty. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.080 So she's stayed longer she has. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.120 She has and look, that's okay. We love having her. 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.640 We love having her at home. It's one perform and 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.520 it's really hard for kids these days to get a start, 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.840 trying to say for a home deposit. And I get 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:06.400 all that, but it's really causing grace with us. She 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.000 makes pretty good money and she's just refusing. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.080 I'm going to be pretty brutal here. If she has 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.640 a problem as an adult working a full time job 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.080 with paying one hundred dollars a week. 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:18.240 Let her move out. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.000 I can guarantee you she'll realize pretty quickly that one 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.880 hundred dollars a week is a really good deal. I 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.200 don't think there is anything wrong with you asking your 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.839 adult child who lives at home to contribute one hundred 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.520 dollars a week. I'm one hundred percent on your side. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.160 When I first heard this, my thought was, oh, well, 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.000 if you didn't do it for the older children, it's 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.200 probably it probably feels like to her there's some favoritism. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.359 That's how I would interpret it. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.080 She's already lived there longer, she's already had the grace 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.000 period that they had, which should be your argument back. 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.840 And I'm I mean, originally I. 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:49.839 Was kind of like, oh, I don't know, maybe kids. 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.280 I'm with you as well, Britt, I mean to change. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.359 What is what's she saying when she says I'm not 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.919 paying it? Does she pay her phone bill? Does she 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.320 pay all for the other the other expense? Says that 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.880 she has for her own life while she's living in your. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.799 House, she covers her bills for that sort of stuff, 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:11.120 like her personal expenses. And that's fine, But I just 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.400 think I just don't think one hundred dollars a week 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:13.960 is that much. 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.719 Meghan, I am going to have the differing opinion here 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.039 in this situation. I think she should be paying rent 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.640 because the parents are struggling, and Meghan, you need the help, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.200 and she's living off the land, and she's twenty one, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.960 she's an adult. However, my opinion over arching is you 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.960 should not have to pay rent if you're living at 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.359 home and it is not a dire situation and money 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.600 isn't needed. Help out because that is what you should 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.320 do as a loving, as a normal, compassionate, empathetic person. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.520 No, because in addition to this, I have two other things, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.720 and I get I'm quite angry about this, right. 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.560 I don't want to feel that. Yeah, I have two. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.320 Things to say about this one. The world doesn't work 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.760 like that. You have to make your own way. She's 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.039 probably lucky she can get away with one hundred dollars 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.320 a week. It's also character building. You can't be cushioned 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.080 your whole life. You have to know that it can 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.360 be a brutal world out there too. When they had 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.040 their children, we weren't about to go into a recession. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.680 We have inflation, we have cost of living, that's gone up. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.880 I'm sure the parents aren't asking for money because they 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:11.479 just want to Oh, I want to make life harder 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.000 for my daughter. No, they're asking because they genuinely need 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.360 a contribution to keep the house. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.640 I agree in this situation, yes, but there are many 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.159 families that I want to teach my kid how life works. 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.800 You pay rent, No, you brought them into this world. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:25.840 I don't think that's fair. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.880 I think that this is a very different situation. And 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.160 if your husband is having to go and work another 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.280 job on top of his job, if he's doing uber 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.640 driving in order to make ends meet, and your daughter 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.039 has this disposable income that she is earning but has 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.240 absolutely no expenses because they're covered by her then as 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.400 a twenty one year old, I think she's being selfish. 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:45.799 Yeah, and we're all in a green Stone. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.919 Yeah, and I think you should hold your ground and 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:49.440 tell you're haavy to stop being on her. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.360 I would she took so long, I'd up at one fifty. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.600 Inflation. We feel you're on. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.920 Your side, Megan. We appreciate it.

So this is 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.760 a native tarantula. 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.360 That's not okay, it's not okay. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.600 He's behind glass.

Is that correct? 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:14.959 Yes? 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:15.640 They are venomous. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:17.040 I mean they're not like a funnel web, so if 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.520 you did get bitten by one of these guys, you're 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.280 probably not going to die. But I hear you guys 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.680 are going to Queensland on the weekend. These are from 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.960 North Queensland, so depending on where you're going, these are 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.520 the sorts of spiders you're gonna find out there. And 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.360 this one, believe it or not, is actually quite small. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.400 They can get probably two or three and this is 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:30.880 in a box. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.600 I get rid of this one. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.480 Next up, we have a scorpion. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.800 So we have many species of scorpions here in Australia 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:38.960 and this is one of our biggest. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:39.680 Oh it's coming out? 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:40.280 Is it a pet? 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.440 It is a pet? So this one's actually quite friendly. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.320 So it's a Flinder's range scorpion. So it's one of 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.160 the largest scorpions. 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:47.640 I do not want to touch with that. 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:48.800 He's pretty cute. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:49.200 Look at that. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:50.280 You want to hold it? 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.320 Then no, put your hand out flat and you'll just 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:53.360 gently crawl onto you. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.320 Oh, baby's I'm so surprised. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:14:58.960 Then describe how. 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.160 It feels like, what's it doing? 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.800 I don't really feel it's so late. So is that 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.200 is that it seems like it's going to attack me? 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:06.760 It does it. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.000 Okay, it also has its little pincers out, can it? 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:10.920 Does it sting or does it? 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:11.160 Yeah? 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:12.600 Yeah, so you can see a little stinger there on 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.000 the end. Year they can sting. It'd be like a 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:16.800 beasting if you did happen to get get stuck. 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:18.840 How do you know he's going to sting because it 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.680 looks like he's just read up like he's ready to sting. 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.440 Ben, pretty chill. I mean they only sort of sting 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.400 if they feel threatened. So if you're poking and prodding him, 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.440 he might give you a little whack. But as long 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.320 as you're respectful and you're nice and capped him on 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:30.760 to Ben. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.200 How many times have you been stung by a scorpion? 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:33.720 Couple? 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:34.160 Yeah? 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.480 Snakes is just a daily occurrence by a snake almost 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:37.920 every day. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.080 But Ben doesn't like snakes. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:40.320
