0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>weren't allowed as a kid, because, as you're going to

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.040
<v Speaker 1>find out as a parent, Jack, sometimes you make up

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>these random rules because constantly parent is a endless sease

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>of demands and opinions.

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Which you had no time to sit down and form.

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Even yesterday, it was like, I want to outside it

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>with some friends for lunch, and I need some advance

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in my pocket money.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>How much you have to give me? I'm like, oh God,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>what's the wrong answer. Where's your mom? What does she

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.560

<v Speaker 1>VOWL on for and.

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>She knows that we are at a crisis point right now.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>My wife is going away with is going a girl's

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>weekend tomorrow, so both the kids know four easy days

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>coming up. It's kind of like Chris money, Christmas is coming,

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted me to keep tabs go and ask

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in the same question twice.

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a bran new day. If you drive

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>my car. He must be twenty five. Now.

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 3>As a kid, I felt like I had a long

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 3>list of things that I was never allowed and I'm

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 3>finding out now as my mom's babysitting Gordy a couple

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 3>of times a week. She sent her photo of him

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 3>yesterday in one of those mechanical cars that you get

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 3>at the supermarket hours of fun. I was never not

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 3>once in my childhood was I given two dollars to

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 3>put in that one of those mechanical cars. I was

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 3>allowed to sit in them all I want and ud

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 3>get Vertigo or something. No, no, no, no. It was

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 3>totally about cost saving. So I could sit in the car.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>They're about twenty cent, yes.

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 3>But I was able to use my imagination.

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, you always see that poor kid just sating it.

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>And now that's Jack the origin story. He's in that plane.

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not taken off.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Thirty years later, I see that that rule has been

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.559
<v Speaker 3>lifted and Gordy's allowed to have dollars to the mechanical.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Car, Golden grandson.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I feel, oh wow.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 3>There was a lot of cost saving measures when I

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>was a kid. There was. I was never allowed to

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 3>have the mechanical car. Whenever we went to the footy,

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I was not allowed to have food there. We were

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.399
<v Speaker 3>only allowed packed sandwiches from home. Oh no, and anytime

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 3>we went to a restaurant, there was no looking at

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>the dessert menu.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we need to give you a do over, right,

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.119
<v Speaker 1>like a fairest builder's Jack's day off as a kid,

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll take you to them all would clam you into

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>one of those old I mean six and five old

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>age in and I once rush to have a little

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that we get little moves around and they're so mild,

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>aren't they.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 2>They just sort of this sort of tilt a.

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Bit and the lights flash and he press buttons that

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even work or do anything like that.

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>But then we get so.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 3>Then we go to the MCG. You pay nine dollars

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 3>for chips and you wouldn't complain about it.

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>This is cheap half the rice.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Then we go eat at a restaurant and we're allowed to, Yes,

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:57.960
<v Speaker 3>we will look at the dessert menu.

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, Jack's day off. I'm going to make this

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>happened when the footage seasons come back. Perhapsy, what were

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you denied or not allowed to have.

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 2>As a kid.

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 4>I desperately wanted boot roller skates, desperately one of them

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 4>all my friends.

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Roller boots just the chepot version.

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 4>Cramp that's what I got, And they had lacers on

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 4>the top of them, and they were so bung, but

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 4>I wanted the proper wheung as in busted.

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Means something else.

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm not aware of.

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't ask me what it means.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 4>It's very very rueh.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 3>I do apologize, and.

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Probably to Sexy Lamb. But anyway, so you were denying

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>those as.

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 4>A kid, Yeah, No, I couldn't have boot roller skates.

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Mum was a nurse and her excuse used to be

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 4>I've seen far too many casualties with people in roller skates.

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 4>You'll fall over and you'll snap your leg in half.

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 3>But whether you strapping them to your shoe or they're

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.520
<v Speaker 3>built in, what difference does it make exactly same risk.

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 2>You're not picking up great speed either of those things.

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Those kids, especially with those ones like that, you're sort

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>of dawdling along like your club he did.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.119
<v Speaker 2>You're not picking up any momentum whatsoever.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 4>We had a big local skate scene in our town,

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 4>and in a country town, it's like one of the

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:19.600
<v Speaker 4>few things.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 2>To do, so it was tag skate scene.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Skate scene we are about all those inbred brothers bringing

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>their banjos, playing as they skated.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Dan used to take the tie up ones and all

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 4>my friends had boot ones and I looked ridiculous.

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 3>That's why you had to move out of the country, Chris,

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 3>take me away from this, show me a better life

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 3>for christ the music coming to the Region theater next year.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Book now all right, So what were you not allowed

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:51.960
<v Speaker 1>or denied as a kid?

<v Speaker 5>A bra you're.

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Listening to the Christian o'kyl's show podcast took the about

<v Speaker 2>what we were not allowed as a kid.

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Chat was saying, how it's never left to go on there,

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the shopping malls of shopping certains. He

<v Speaker 3>I was allowed on it. I just wasn't allowed to.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Experience enjoy the rise, Christian.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw a dad who had two kids sitting one

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of those shopping center little cars, shaking it from side

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to side.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:22.359
<v Speaker 3>To save a few bucks.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Must have been.

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Jack's old man.

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>That is shocking, Chris, thank you very much that Christian.

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Please tell Pats I fell in pain with the roller skates.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>This is song, Karen Lloyd. I really wanted the white

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>boot ones. I got those awful metal ones with the

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>straps that would expand as my feet grew. Yep, cost

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>cutting a measure for my parents.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Christian.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>For Tim, he wasn't allowed as the kid's a yo yo.

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Most of the kids has those flash ones that had

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>auto freespin. I got the basic wooden one. The wooden

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>ones were terrible. Christian. We were growing up. I was

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>one of five kids. We weren't allowed potato chips. The

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>only time they appeared in the house was when it

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>was one of our birthdays.

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Christian.

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I was never allowed to watch TV as a kid

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 1>or have any drink that wasn't watered down.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 3>Actually, we had a friend like that. Every time you

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:27.160
<v Speaker 3>went to his house, you have to have water down orange.

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Really really tepid.

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 1>It was barely just like a teaspoon of the actual

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>essence of it.

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Make it stretch across four homeopathic.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Into of orange.

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Christian.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>As a parent, I told my kids that parents aren't

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.239
<v Speaker 1>allowed to put money in the rise at shopping centers.

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.760

<v Speaker 6>to buy me something. Eventually he got around to it,

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.200
