00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,960

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,640

Speaker 2: I'm so excited about this podcast because I have been

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,400

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: did in highlighting the webinar that you did weeks ago.

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: I've done a few. Was it pairing on the same page?

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: Was it how to stop screaming at your kids?

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Was it both?

26
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: It could have been either one, but she just acknowledged

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: that she took the opportunity to speak with her husband

28
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: and asked for his input in a challenge that she

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: was having in her own parenting. And what she said

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: at the end of it was, thanks guys for sharing

Speaker 3: Oh that's so nice. Thank you very much.

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: We also got a five star rating and review that

36
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to read out really quickly from beck dot

Speaker 2: three six four seven, who said fabulous five stars. What

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: a fantastic podcast. I find Justin and Khylie very easy

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: listen to and they provide easy to follow advice about parenting.

40
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: That's what we're going to do today. Thank you Beck

41
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: for that review. Because as parents have six children and

42
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: coming from families ourselves car trips.

43
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: Did you remember a few.

44
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: Years ago we got the kids in the car, we

45
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: were driving from Wollongong to Coff's Harbor and I said,

46
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: no screens. We're going to have a family weekend. We're

47
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: going to spend good quality time together that we're not

48
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: going to look at screens and that eight and a

49
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: half hours in the car was just torture.

50
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: I believe. But the next time we went and did

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: that same trip, we had actually installed screens behind each

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: of the.

53
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Right Yeah, yeah, we had the head because that was

54
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: I had the best trip ever back in the day

55
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: when you had to put DVD players in the car

56
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: because you couldn't just stream on your phone.

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah we did.

58
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: We had a good trip the second time because but

59
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: wouldn't it be great if you could actually have some

60
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: good quality family time while you're driving with your kids.

61
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: And we're not going to go militant about screens or

62
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: not screens. We're just going to share a bunch of

63
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: ideas with you about how you can have high quality

64
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: road trip time and enjoy being with your family. We're

65
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: dividing it up into two sections. I can't wait to

66
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: get section two because this is where we're going to

67
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: talk about music. But in the first section, we've just

68
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: got a whole lot of I guess talkie kind of games.

69
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 4: Well, we put it out there on our Facebook page

70
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: and asked everybody to kind of give us some ideas

71
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 4: of what they do to keep things moving along in

72
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: the car, and we had some really really great.

73
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 3: So I see what you did there.

74
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 2: I know I talked over you, sorry, but you said

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: keep things moving along in the car.

76
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: That was really clever. We didn't even plan that. Well done.

77
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: We've got a lot to get through.

78
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: We're probably going to have to put these all in

79
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: the show notes, and we might even do a blog

80
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: about it, an article on the website, because you're not

81
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: going to hang onto all of these ideas. This is

82
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: the kind of episode that you want a bookmark and

83
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: come back to every time you've got a road trip planned,

84
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: because we have got so many brilliant ideas. Let's do

85
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: all the talkie kind of games and conversations first.

86
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: So a couple of weeks ago in I'll Do Better

87
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: Tomorrow episode, we talked about two things that I had

88
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: done on a recent car trip car bingo, where we

89
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: just picked a whole heap of things that we might

90
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 4: see on the road and the kids had to kind

91
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: of try and find, you know, five in a row

92
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: of those.

93
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: So you've got to find like a garbage truck or

94
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: an aeroplane flying over here, red letterbox, or a kangaroo

95
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: or an emu or something like that.

96
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, cool.

97
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: And then the second one was those conversation starters, little

98
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: cards that you can have that just give you a

99
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: whole heap of just one sentence, one question, and you

100
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: can ask each other those questions. Which is the fun.

101
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we get to explore stories of our lives

102
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: with our children and they love that. So what did

103
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: our Facebook followers have to say? We've got If you're

104
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: not on our Facebook page, by the way, I think

105
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: we've got about one hundred and seventy five thousand Facebook followers,

106
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: jump on become part of the community. It's a great

107
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: group of people. It's a big group, but it's a

108
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: great group of people. What do they have to say?

109
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: Well, the number one number. There was two games that

110
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: were just the favorites. Were I Spy or Everybody Knows

111
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: I Spy. But there was a couple of variations to that.

112
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 4: There might have been I Spy Yellow.

113
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: Or for younger kids right okay? And then Spoto.

114
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the two most are going to sound like

115
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 2: I'm a real grump in the car both of those games.

116
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: You know, I don't like Spotto because one of our

117
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: kids punches us every time we see a yellow car.

118
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: Spott O.

119
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: It's like we're not a hitting family, stop hitting me.

120
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't like being punched by my thirteen year old noll.

121
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: What used to happen more than anything was no I

122
00:04:59,480 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 4: got that.

123
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: Do I saw it?

124
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: The fights, the fights over who saw the yellow car like?

125
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: So be warned that if you're doing competitive stuff, it

126
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: can turn ugly. So if people don't know how to

127
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: play Spotto. By the way, it's pretty much every time

128
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: a yellow car goes past, the first person to say Spotto.

129
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 4: Well, there's lots of variations. Some people had concrete trucks,

130
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 4: some people had Mini Coopers. It's really up to you

131
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: whatever you want.

132
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: And our kids have actually added a variation as well.

133
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know about this one, but

134
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: every time a green car goes past, you know what

135
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: they say.

136
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 3: It's not I'm so sorry to any green car drivers.

137
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 3: We invented it all with your kids.

138
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 4: Another family, every time a Mustang came past, it was.

139
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: Motto, that's great, I like that. Okay, let's do a

140
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: few others really quickly.

141
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 4: What I went to the shops and I.

142
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: Brought Oh gosh, no Ah, that is the most brain numbing.

143
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: It's actually really good for your memory.

144
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: I get it, but I just it's like my grandmother

145
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: went to the shops and she bought I went on

146
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: holidays and I brought you be.

147
00:05:59,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: Down.

148
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking forward to the singing games. I just

149
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: like singing. I'm not very well. A couple of others.

150
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: The Alphabet Game. We actually love playing this game as

151
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 4: the kids have gotten older. It's really good for emerging

152
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 4: readers to recognize their letters. And so the object is

153
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 4: you literally are just collecting letters, whether it be from

154
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: your number plates or from.

155
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: Billboards, streets on you and it's got to be alphabeticalized.

156
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: So you're looking for an A. So we'll be like

157
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: A in Warhope. I don't know why I said wae

158
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: a in Brisbane. So you've just got to find the

159
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: letter in a word or on a number plate, you know.

160
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: I saw a V on that car going places, and

161
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: you've got to do it in order, and it's kind

162
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: of a race. We've decided that if I'm driving, I

163
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: can't play that game because I get a bit competitive

164
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: and stop watching the road. Really it's a very dangerous

165
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: game to play if you're driving.

166
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 4: And a game that I've never played before, but you

167
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 4: used to play it as a kid.

168
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: Car cricket car cricket.

169
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: So my dad was a furniture removalist. Mum and dad

170
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: ran a furniture moving company when I was a kid,

171
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: and I used to sit in the truck driving from

172
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: the New South Walest Central Coast up to the Gold

173
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: Coast or Brisbane. Every holiday, Dad and I would go

174
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: and do furniture removals, and I spent hours playing car cricket.

175
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: And basically a car is worth one run, a car

176
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: with the trailer is worth four, a car with a

177
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: caravan is worth six. And if you see any motorcycles

178
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: or any trucks or buses you're out. Of course, there's

179
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: ten wickets, so you've got to lose ten wickets, get

180
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: as many runs as you can. Then the other person's

181
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: in for their innings.

182
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: You know, my head is hurting. Now, how am I

183
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: supposed to remember?

184
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: It's not hard? One, four, six, and then you're out

185
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: with the other stock.

186
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: What's for four a car with the trailer of course,

187
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: with the caravan?

188
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 4: The answer yeah.

189
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: But it's fun to play at night because there's lots

190
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: of trucks and you get out really fast, and sometimes

191
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: you only get two or three runs and all these trucks.

192
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: Just so. The last time I'm going to share with

193
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: you came in from one of our followers and she

194
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: calls it truck, truck, car, bus okay, And the object

195
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 4: is to just guess what the next four cars will be, Okay, well,

196
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: the next four vehicles, and so in this case, she's

197
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: guessing that the next four vehicles are going to be

198
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: a truck, truck, car, and a bus.

199
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: So I'm if I'm on the freeway, I'm going to

200
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: say car ka car cars, because there's going to be

201
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of cars and I'm probably going to

202
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: get that right.

203
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: Is that the idea? Yeah?

204
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 4: And the idea is you want to do it before

205
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: there's any cars in front of your there is any vehicle.

206
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: So I would suggest that this is on a long

207
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: car trip where you're kind of dealing with long highway

208
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: stretches where you're not, you know, on busy freeways. I

209
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 4: don't think it would work as well.

210
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: Up next, we're going to play or talk about the

211
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,760

221
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: signed for the singing games. Some families have really got

222
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: the whole singing thing down pat like the kids in Step.

223
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: The Right Gang was Willy Nail at this time. Here

224
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: we go a wand a wanko three four bum.

225
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 6: She's got smile that it seems to me reminds me

226
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 6: of childhood.

227
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: Memories whereverything was as fresh as a bride.

228
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: Blue guy, how good are buddy? You're the oldest I'm

Speaker 3: counting on you. Come on, she's got us the blue

230
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: wis guys.

231
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: I can't take it because this is really hard to

232
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: listen to, because last time we tried singing the car

233
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: it sounded more like this.

234
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 3: I've seen the lives.

235
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,479
Speaker 1: The place of idle and tell them ride.

236
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: Of Oh my goodness, we're not even in the same.

237
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: Galaxy of talent as anyway, So what are the singing games,

238
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: because sing alongs are fun. But you've actually got some

239
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: games that have come through as suggestions.

240
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: Well, old McDonald for our younger kids. Oh McDonald farm,

241
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 4: especially when you're driving the countryside. You can find animals

242
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 4: as you go and add them to the equation. The

243
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: acknowledgment in one of the messages was just that they

244
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: might have ended up with a few dinosaurs in there

245
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 4: in their farm.

246
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: Well why not that?

247
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: That just reminds me actually of you've probably heard of

248
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: Well maybe you haven't heard of it, but there's a

249
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: group called the Go and a Gang and they're on

250
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: Spotify and they've done a whole lot of kids stuff

251
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: and they just make song time in.

252
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: The car with little kids loads of fun because you've

253
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: got stuff like this, and then there's build them up,

254
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: Build them U, build them.

255
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: I remember that from play school our kids. It's a

256
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: lovely there eventually anyway, so there's all that sort of stuff.

257
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: What what what McDonald? Yeap? Okay, next Bingo? What's Bingo?

258
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: I thought we were playing Bingo as a talking game.

259
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: This is a song.

260
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: Okay.

261
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was

262
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 4: his name. O b I ng O g I ng

263
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 4: o b I g o and Bingo was his name.

264
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: But that's just a song. What's the point of that.

265
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: Well, the idea is the next time we sing it,

266
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: we're going to take away the B and so we

267
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: have to clap and then do I G O and

268
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: then we're going to clap again for the third verse

269
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: and we're going to do B ng o.

270
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: Oh oh g okay, all right, So that's there's some coordination.

271
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: That's great for kids, for little kids, what about for

272
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: bigger kids?

273
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 4: This is the song that never ends.

274
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is the song that never ends. I

275
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: don't know the tune from.

276
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 4: M Yes, it goes on and on. My friends, some

277
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: people started singing and not knowing what it was. Why

278
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: are you laughing at me?

279
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: You've got a great voice. And then the continued singing

280
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: it forever, just because this is the song that never ends,

281
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: and it starts all over again. It's torture. We're supposed

282
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: to be trying to help people have a nice card.

283
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: Well, absolute favorite over the last few years is Peel

284
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: the Avocado. I don't.

285
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: Just came out and I was just like, what are

286
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: you doing?

287
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 4: And the YouTube clip is you have to watch it

288
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: if you've definitely look it up. It's worth a worth

289
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: a good laugh. But the highlight of all of the

290
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 4: comments that came through this would be my number one pick. Well,

291
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: it's actually ours because we had lots this one.

292
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

293
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 4: Somebody said they play the fart game.

294
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: Which is really a word replacement game. What happens is

295
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: you find any song that has the word heart in

296
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 2: the title or in the lyrics, and you change it

297
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: to fart.

298
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: So we did a little bit.

299
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 4: I think they must have a few boys in there.

300
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: We did a.

301
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: Little bit of googling, and I thought, well, this would

302
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: be fun to sing.

303
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 6: Because if we're changing heart to fart that well, and

304
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 6: then if you if you don't want Selene because I

305
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 6: don't know, it doesn't work.

306
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's a bit dreary, and maybe we want

307
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: something a little bit old or something from the eighties.

308
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: There's Elton John and Kiki d. Don't go breaking a what.

309
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: I gave you my fart? This is so rude. I

310
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 3: gave you my fart, don't go breaking my fuck.

311
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: I can't believe what have we become? What has this

312
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: podcast become?

313
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 4: I'm blaming Rebecca for this one.

314
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 2: My favorite one of all of them, just while we're

315
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: being absolutely ridiculous, was rock set.

316
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: Listen to the fart?

317
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: All right, that's enough. I can't take it anymore. We

318
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: have six daughters. This is not the example that we

319
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 2: want to be setting for them. You want to have

320
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: fun on a car trip, this is the way to

321
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: do it, right.

322
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so the last one I'm going to

323
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: add it in. Okay, okay, Adam said stay quiet or else.

324
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: That's a good game.

325
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 4: Let's just quiet game.

326
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: See who can stay the quietness for the longest.

327
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

328
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: So after we've had lots and lots of fun, that

329
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 4: might be one to just finish things off.

330
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Just look out the window, kids, Just look out the

331
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: window and soak it in. If you're going on a

332
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: car trip, if you're heading away this easter. I hope

333
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: that that's been helpful. I don't know how many of

334
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: them we're really going to try. I actually think there's
