00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160

Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to that because let's not skip

53
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: to a head far ahead in the diary.

54
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: You know this.

55
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160

00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Girls.

58
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: Love writing matters. How old would Romany have been.

59
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: So she's twenty five now, so ten.

60
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: Years eleven, ten years ago she was fifteen? Yeh, yeah, yeah,

61
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: I wrote letters non stop to my parents. Did you

62
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: asking dad to stop smoking?

63
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right, somewhere was you say, Dad, please stop smoking?

64
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 2: Yeah?

65
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: Yeah.

66
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: It's a very concerning thing for child because when you

67
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: confronted with your parents' mortality's when you first learn what

68
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: the circle of life means. That's terrifying.

69
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a little aised to caddy

70
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: for my dad when he played golf and he go

71
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: along and he was a smoker, and he put his

72
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: cigarette down on the green while he was putting, and

73
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: I'd get the golf buggy and run over his cigarette

74
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: because you wanted to put it out.

75
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to put it out.

76
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I remember him saying mate, we just stop doing it.

77
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep smoking. Dad actually, in twenty

78
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: twelve was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died in twenty fourteen.

79
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: Sobering Times, Brenda the Times. I also used to write

80
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: letters to my parents about wanting to get a dog,

81
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: and I think your daughter's on a similar plane.

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: The dog letters.

83
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: My god, I know you've got lots of those over

84
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: the years. Let's drill down though, on the letters that

85
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: Romany wrote you in this particular chunk of the year.

86
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: And let me just say this. I'm not against having

87
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: a dog.

88
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: But you don't have to defend yourself.

89
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying my daughter and my wife don't

90
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: have the wherewithal to look after a dog. They won't

91
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: walk it, they won't clean up the poop, they won't

92
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: do anything. I know that, as you sure.

93
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: We've had it once before and.

94
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: It just Romany was little.

95
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the woman of the house. I look at you.

96
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: You like dogs.

97
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: Love you dog, love my dogman. My old dog loved you.

98
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: I've had many for ten years and I love her.

99
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: But you love it. What I mean is you love Minni.

100
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: You get great joy.

101
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say my wife wouldn't get great joy

102
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: out of a dog, but she wouldn't do the work

103
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: that you do with it. I know that.

104
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: Are you sure?

105
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 3: I'm positive?

106
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Because it would just end up starving to death.

107
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: Well, this first letter isn't about a dog. Can I

108
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: read this out? Dear father, if you're talking to Jason tomorrow,

109
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: could you please try to get an autograph for Laura

Speaker 2: because she's a massive fan. Just so you know, this

111
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,560

116
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: Why.

117
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: It was years ago.

118
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,560

Speaker 1: you can't spell your own name? I said, a Jonesy.

121
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: You might as well be a Jimmy, little Jimsy.

122
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: How do you get from Jonesy to Jimsey?

123
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I said, you might as well just be anything.

124
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: See this is the way you do it with me.

125
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,719

Speaker 1: I hope for one day she's actually eating watermelon.

133
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: And what about Dominic the peaky Man? Why?

134
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Because we're on a car trip coming back from Scamps Farm,

135
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: which is a nickname that you gave to Scott.

136
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: That's because you're talking about going camping with Scott and

137
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: you said you're going scamping.

138
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: Scam And you said, is that what you call scampy?

139
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: We're coming back from there? And dom was just in

140
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: the car, just not saying anything as most kids, and

141
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: my youngster is not a chatty kathy. And I started going, hey,

142
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: look look at you. And I was doing like a

143
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: little EMU thing while I was driving around with my

144
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: head safe and I'm going, look, Emu's saying big big, big,

145
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: big big, and then I went big. I hid him

146
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: by accident in the knows and he started crying, so

147
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: that beautiful man. And I said, oh man, I'm so sorry,

148
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: I said, and I said, are we still buddies?

149
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: He goes, no, we're not Buddies.

150
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: So he became the requested to.

151
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Sit in the back of the car and me, it's

152
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: like an Uber driver. This is before Uber.

153
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200

157
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,680

Speaker 1: Yeah.

194
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: She starts by saying what I would do, and she's

195
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: going phone fors white. This was and she's done a

196
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: little checklist at the side of what she would do.

197
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,080

00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: To keep my room clean, not even keeping my room clean,

202
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: trying her brain.

203
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: She still lives at home.

204
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: Is she an untidy person.

205
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: Man, it is a bombshell. It's a disgrace. And she's twenty.

206
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 2: What give me example of what's in the just bowls

207
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 2: of stuff, like from a day before.

208
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, just from months before.

209
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: Like coffee cups and stuff. Everything stains on the carpet. Well,

210
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 2: there's not carpet, Okay, So at least you've done that,

211
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: would hose free.

212
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: You couldn't have.

213
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: You couldn't have carpet in her room.

214
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 2: So she still hasn't learnt to do that. Did she

215
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: get a phone, by the way, Ah, not that year.

216
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: No.

217
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: The next one on the list is eat some sushi.

218
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: Why did you want her to eat sushi?

219
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Don't know?

220
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Next one not comment on the horrible curries and stir

221
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: fries you make. Okay, Then she said you should get

222
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: one too when we can be texting buddies, because why

223
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't she want to say what's for dinner?

224
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's back when I didn't have an iPhone.

225
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: I don't think.

226
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: No, you had.

227
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: You had at the flip phone for one hundred years.

228
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: She said, she's already got a jimsy.

229
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Case, our little case for the iPhone.

230
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: And then the next one is, well, all I can

231
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: say is, Laura got one haha jokes, but I really

232
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: do need a phone. If not, and if some hobo

233
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: kills me next week, you'll feel pretty bad, ha ha ha.

234
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: But I think this is a deal not to be missed.

235
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: Here is a contract signature for my chores. I am negotiable.

236
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: Also with my ten dollars a week pocket money, I

237
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: can pay for the phone. Yeah right, you don't have

238
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: to pay. And then she signed it and at the

239
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: top she says, here, only one more day till the

240
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: deal runs out.

241
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: Pedo.

242
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: She that's right, she used to it's a joke, and

243
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: that's terrible.

244
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: So right.

245
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: The hard thing is she's saying please, please, please, and

246
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: then puts a joke insult at the top.

247
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: And you know what, I.

248
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: Am not a pedo, of course she writes this stuff.

249
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: And also there's a next one. There's another one about

250
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: the phone. Did I mention it's zero dollars up front

251
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: and the deal, which is awesome, will run out up

252
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: to the thirtieth of June. Please dot dot dot jimsy

253
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: Did it work? Not that year?

254
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: She did get a mobile phone, but I don't think

255
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: it was then. I think she got a mobile phone

256
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: for her eighteenth birthday.

257
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: I think that's what happened.

258
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: Okay, and how old was she? Here? Did we deside

259
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: fifteen fifteen? Well, here's a birthday. Did she used to

260
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: put these little signs in your diary?

261
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

262
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: How sweet? And this is one you would have got

263
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: on the day birthday? Happy birthday, Peto. Just joking souls.

264
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: Why she's not working at Hallmark? I don't know.

265
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: Ah, she's a nut my daughter. Than she's not.

266
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: Still a nut, is she? I mean she's lovely. I

267
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: know her very well, and she's gorgeous, but is she

268
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: still got an element of this kid in her?

269
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah?

270
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: She's funny, you know what.

271
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: I honestly believe Roman he could be a great stand

272
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: up comedian. But she's crippled by performance anxiety.

273
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: She has a very wry eye on the world.

274
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: Doesn't she funny? As the thing she does just makes

275
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: me laugh. And I say, you could easily be a

276
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: stand up comedian.

277
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: Maybe she should be a comedian, but not a stand

278
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: up one, so she doesn't have to have the performance

279
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: sign up. It can be a comedy writer.

280
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 3: I don't know, she's not interested in it.

281
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: But you know, when some people have a gift at

282
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: something and none of my kids like I look at Morgan,

283
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: my eldest, he has really like he would make a

284
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: great lawyer.

285
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: But there's a bit of a performance with him as well.

286
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if you ever.

287
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: He's a very command he's a very commanding person. At

288
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: his birthday, I saw it and it was a surprise birthday.

289
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: He so didn't have time to write anything. He spoke

290
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: so eloquently and he's very command isn't he?

291
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: And Dom is really good as well. I saw him

292
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: he was in this play for his school and he

293
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: never told us about it, and then we found out

294
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: the last minute that he was going to be in

295
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: this play, and so Hella and I went along to

296
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: said he did this like four minute monologue in this play.

297
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, you know, no notes or anything like that,

298
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: And I thought, whoa, You've got the gift.

299
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 3: None of them want to do this job.

300
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: You know why he doesn't want to tell you that

301
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: he's doing that because every year you talk about how

302
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: much you hate being dragged along to what your kids perform.

303
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: That's I know, it's that's what I said.

304
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: This is when he was in year twelve at high school.

305
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: There's a big difference.

306
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Between that and going along to see a bunch of

307
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: self indulged kids being self indulged by their self indulgent parents,

308
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: all standing there watching when they could be doing other stuff. Yeah,

309
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: but if you're killing the guyes for three and a

310
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: half hours.

311
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: But if your kids in that, there is an obligation,

312
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: isn't there? And we all feel it. I often felt

313
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: at those things they should give you, like you get

314
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: at the pub when your meals ready, it sends off

315
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: for life, so you sit out. I didn't even sit

316
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: in my car so that I didn't have to see

317
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: a thing until my own child was.

318
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: Jack's coming up now with his trombone. Mimi, that's me, Yeah,

319
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: I better go.

320
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Mine's on.

321
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even get any chips. Well, you know, you

322
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: go to those things and it's okay if your kids

323
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: a success.

324
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: Well do you remember though, that time you looked at

325
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: the wrong kid?

326
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: Because Romany used to be in the Australian Youth Choir

327
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: and I was there and it's that's the quantest choir,

328
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: you know.

329
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: The little kids.

330
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: And I've been to city and I'm watching her. Look

331
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: at that kid, look at Romany, and I've got like

332
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: my eyes are all moist and Helen guess that's not

333
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: Romany and she's.

334
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: Asian, completely looking at the wrong one, wrong.

335
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: Wrong everything, And they put Romany up in the wings

336
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: on the other side, not even in the main event.

337
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: She's still in there.

338
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: Well, I could have lived to.

339
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: Dream that she would be in the quantas commercial. She

340
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: wasn't even in the main performance part.

341
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: Big achievements, big time speak.

342
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you're it's not fair on parents

343
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: with underachieving parents with underachieving kids. You go to those

344
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: awards nights and there'll be certain five kids to get

345
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: the award. Just have a thing for them.

346
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 3: No one gives a shit.

347
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit if little Tommy was good

348
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: on the violin, not my thing.

349
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: See, this is the thing that happens even with radio awards,

350
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: where people only turn up if they think they're going

351
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: to win them. Imagine the logos if you only went

352
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: if you are going to be the person who wins

353
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: the gold or whatever. They don't be for one person

354
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: in the room. You go along to support the industry,

355
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: You go on to support the school. The kids are

356
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: there and this is the lesson though the kids are

357
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: there to look at their classmates succeed and that's okay.

358
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Will there are times when you want your other your

359
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: friends to do well as well. This is a life

360
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: lesson in it's not all about you. You're not always

361
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: going to come first, but you're part of something that's

362
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 2: bigger than you, that will stand you in good stead

363
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: for the rest of your life.

364
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: I'll ask you this question, No, I never did.

365
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: Do you like awards ceremonies?

366
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: No?

367
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: No, do you mean for me now as an adult

368
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: my children?

369
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: Now?

370
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: Just do you like them?

371
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: I find them stressful?

372
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: So why do we do them?

373
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Why do we put ourselves through awards in it?

374
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 2: You know, life is full of putting ourselves through things

375
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: that are stressful because for the sake of it's an

376
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: accolade to be invited, it's an accolade to be part

377
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: of an industry. That's our version of school. And we

378
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: support each other and we see each other there. And

379
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 2: you think you're part of an industry, whether you work

380
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: in the travel industry or the builders industry, whatever it is.

381
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: That's why we have awards. And that was the thing

382
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: I was saying that when Tom Gleeson was slagging off

383
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 2: the Logis, I thought we're allowed to celebrate what our

384
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: industry does.

385
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is why I could never go on

386
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: any of those celebrity cooking shows because I like cooking,

387
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: just cooking. I don't want to tell someone judging my

388
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: cooking I'm a self taught chef.

389
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: How is that different? That's different to awards.

390
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Though, but it is like you're being judged for it

391
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: really well.

392
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: But you went on a dancing show.

393
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I didn't care about that, I know.

394
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: See, that's why men do better. Men do better on

395
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars because men know there's no expectation

396
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: of them to dance. Women are expected to be slightly

397
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: good at it, and more is expected of them. I

398
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: think there can be someone who can't dance at all,

399
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: like you, but you were enthusiastic. People love that. But

400
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: there's also footballers who can't do anything, but people go, well,

401
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: he's giving his best. If a woman's just doing a best,

402
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: it's never enough on those shows. But being judged as

403
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: an adult is what an audience loves to see. They

404
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: love to see someone who's out of their comfort zone

405
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: being told they're no good. And I like watching you

406
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: have to suck it in, But.

407
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: That's what it is, but awards ceremonies. I just think,

408
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, if they said to me tomorrow there's going

409
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: to be no more awards ceremonies.

410
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 3: I go a, okay, great, excellent.

411
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: I know there's a degree of irony because we did

412
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: win an award for this particular podcast.

413
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: It's okay to dream, Brandon, put on a fancy outfit

414
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: and come and support everyone and smile on a red

415
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: carpet and see people and clap when they win.

416
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: And get on the piece of course like you.

417
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: Did when your daughter was performing. Well, I'm exhausted. I'm

418
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: going to write your letters saying shut your pile right now.

419
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: We don't call me a pedo.

420
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: No, wouldn't dream of it.

421
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: Well, that was our first part of twenty twelve. It

422
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: was an action pack year for our two heroes.

423
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: It's more to come.

424
