Speaker 1: these random rules because constantly parent is a endless sease

6
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: of demands and opinions.

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: Which you had no time to sit down and form.

00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: coming up. It's kind of like Chris money, Christmas is coming,

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: and he wanted me to keep tabs go and ask

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: in the same question twice.

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: I think it's a bran new day. If you drive

23
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: my car. He must be twenty five. Now.

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: As a kid, I felt like I had a long

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: list of things that I was never allowed and I'm

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: finding out now as my mom's babysitting Gordy a couple

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: of times a week. She sent her photo of him

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: yesterday in one of those mechanical cars that you get

29
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: at the supermarket hours of fun. I was never not

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: once in my childhood was I given two dollars to

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: put in that one of those mechanical cars. I was

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: allowed to sit in them all I want and ud

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: get Vertigo or something. No, no, no, no. It was

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: totally about cost saving. So I could sit in the car.

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: They're about twenty cent, yes.

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: But I was able to use my imagination.

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: Oh no, you always see that poor kid just sating it.

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: And now that's Jack the origin story. He's in that plane.

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: It's not taken off.

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: Thirty years later, I see that that rule has been

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 3: lifted and Gordy's allowed to have dollars to the mechanical.

42
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: Car, Golden grandson.

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: I feel, oh wow.

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: There was a lot of cost saving measures when I

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: was a kid. There was. I was never allowed to

46
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: have the mechanical car. Whenever we went to the footy,

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: I was not allowed to have food there. We were

48
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 3: only allowed packed sandwiches from home. Oh no, and anytime

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 3: we went to a restaurant, there was no looking at

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: the dessert menu.

51
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to give you a do over, right,

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: like a fairest builder's Jack's day off as a kid,

53
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I'll take you to them all would clam you into

54
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: one of those old I mean six and five old

55
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: age in and I once rush to have a little

56
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: that we get little moves around and they're so mild,

57
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: aren't they.

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: They just sort of this sort of tilt a.

59
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Bit and the lights flash and he press buttons that

60
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: don't even work or do anything like that.

61
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: But then we get so.

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: Then we go to the MCG. You pay nine dollars

63
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: for chips and you wouldn't complain about it.

64
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: This is cheap half the rice.

65
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: Then we go eat at a restaurant and we're allowed to, Yes,

66
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: we will look at the dessert menu.

67
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: All right, Jack's day off. I'm going to make this

68
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: happened when the footage seasons come back. Perhapsy, what were

69
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: you denied or not allowed to have.

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 2: As a kid.

71
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 4: I desperately wanted boot roller skates, desperately one of them

72
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: all my friends.

73
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Roller boots just the chepot version.

74
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 4: Cramp that's what I got, And they had lacers on

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: the top of them, and they were so bung, but

76
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 4: I wanted the proper wheung as in busted.

77
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: Means something else.

78
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 4: I'm not aware of.

79
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: Don't ask me what it means.

80
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: It's very very rueh.

81
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: I do apologize, and.

82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: Probably to Sexy Lamb. But anyway, so you were denying

83
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: those as.

84
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: A kid, Yeah, No, I couldn't have boot roller skates.

85
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: Mum was a nurse and her excuse used to be

86
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: I've seen far too many casualties with people in roller skates.

87
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: You'll fall over and you'll snap your leg in half.

88
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: But whether you strapping them to your shoe or they're

89
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: built in, what difference does it make exactly same risk.

90
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: You're not picking up great speed either of those things.

91
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Those kids, especially with those ones like that, you're sort

92
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: of dawdling along like your club he did.

93
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 2: You're not picking up any momentum whatsoever.

94
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 4: We had a big local skate scene in our town,

95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: and in a country town, it's like one of the

96
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 4: few things.

97
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: To do, so it was tag skate scene.

98
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: Skate scene we are about all those inbred brothers bringing

99
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: their banjos, playing as they skated.

100
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: Dan used to take the tie up ones and all

101
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: my friends had boot ones and I looked ridiculous.

102
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: That's why you had to move out of the country, Chris,

103
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: take me away from this, show me a better life

104

Speaker 3: for christ the music coming to the Region theater next year.

105
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: Book now all right, So what were you not allowed

106
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,960

00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: A bra you're.

108
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: Listening to the Christian o'kyl's show podcast took the about

00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,840

Speaker 1: Chat was saying, how it's never left to go on there,

Speaker 1: you know, in the shopping malls of shopping certains. He

112
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: got the little mechanical rides for very small kids.

113
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I was allowed on it. I just wasn't allowed to.

114
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: Experience enjoy the rise, Christian.

115
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: I saw a dad who had two kids sitting one

116
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: of those shopping center little cars, shaking it from side

117
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to side.

118
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 3: To save a few bucks.

119
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: Must have been.

120
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: Jack's old man.

121
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: That is shocking, Chris, thank you very much that Christian.

122
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: Please tell Pats I fell in pain with the roller skates.

123
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: This is song, Karen Lloyd. I really wanted the white

124
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: boot ones. I got those awful metal ones with the

125
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: straps that would expand as my feet grew. Yep, cost

126
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: cutting a measure for my parents.

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: Christian.

128
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: For Tim, he wasn't allowed as the kid's a yo yo.

129
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: Most of the kids has those flash ones that had

130
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: auto freespin. I got the basic wooden one. The wooden

131
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: ones were terrible. Christian. We were growing up. I was

132
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: one of five kids. We weren't allowed potato chips. The

133
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: only time they appeared in the house was when it

134
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: was one of our birthdays.

135
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Christian.

136
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: I was never allowed to watch TV as a kid

137
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: or have any drink that wasn't watered down.

138
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: Actually, we had a friend like that. Every time you

139
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 3: went to his house, you have to have water down orange.

140
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: Really really tepid.

141
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: It was barely just like a teaspoon of the actual

142
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: essence of it.

143
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: Make it stretch across four homeopathic.

144
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: Into of orange.

145
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: Christian.

146
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: As a parent, I told my kids that parents aren't

147
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: allowed to put money in the rise at shopping centers.

148
