Speaker 2: Angelina Jolie, and he finally became interesting when he got
Speaker 2: off the when he got off the stinkweed with with
Speaker 2: that he was always on with Jennifer Aniston.
Speaker 3: Well, let me quickly, architects do not make anywhere near
Speaker 3: the amount of money that movies have made me think.
Speaker 2: That the odds for tell me, tell me, I told you,
Speaker 2: you tell me a Yeah, four architects an interior design.
Speaker 3: And my eyes were when I was talking to them,
Speaker 3: like how much are you on? It is?
Speaker 2: You ask them?
Speaker 3: So I need to know what jokes to make. It
Speaker 3: was nowhere near what I had in my head. It's
Speaker 3: such a romantic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's job, so you know what it's the In
Speaker 2: a rom com, a woman can do one of two jobs,
Speaker 2: one of which is being in a florist and the
Speaker 2: other is working for a bookshop, Yeah, bookshop or food magazine.
Speaker 2: And a man can be an architect, possibly a doctor.
Speaker 2: But if he's a doctor, he can't be near vaginas, right, Like,
Speaker 2: it's never been a gynecologist as the.
Speaker 1: Lead in a rom com.
Speaker 2: It's a clean doctor, clean doctor. He's like North, only
Speaker 2: North because I was so he wouldn't be a p dietress.
Speaker 3: Of course not that's not get away from me.
Speaker 2: But I'm not allowed to say with Peter Allen lewis
Speaker 2: what he won't let me say Ike.
Speaker 1: Ever, he's like the Taliban.
Speaker 3: Oh, there was a list of words the day.
Speaker 2: Where we were talking about something. I said, oh, something,
Speaker 2: and that's properly ik. I didn't even say gives me
Speaker 2: the eg, which I do find, ironically an expression that
Speaker 2: does give me the egg. So I just said, oh,
Speaker 2: that's a bit ike, and he.
Speaker 1: Went, please, don't ever say that again.
Speaker 3: So polite. He's the most polite member of the Taliban
Speaker 3: I've ever heard.
Speaker 4: It really is.
Speaker 2: He's like, excuse me, madam, would you mind covering your
Speaker 2: face and all of you? But I don't even know
Speaker 2: if that's from religious convictions.
Speaker 3: So the quote is from home alone, Marry.
Speaker 2: Christmas, you feel the animals? Who says it to WHOA?
Speaker 3: He's watching an old timey movie. It's a fake old
Speaker 3: timey movie, made up movie within the movie shoots everyone
Speaker 3: in the office and serves Merry Christmas, you feel for
Speaker 3: the animals.
Speaker 4: So good.
Speaker 3: It's my favorite Christmas movie.
Speaker 2: I think mine too.
Speaker 3: Do you like movies, Well, you've sent me some the
Speaker 3: other day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was watching one in sympathy with you.
Speaker 2: Huh, Because you're writing a Christmas movie we're trying to
Speaker 2: get turn plans.
Speaker 3: You were trying to get it made and cross everyone.
Speaker 2: The other day, after I had exploded in fury in
Speaker 2: the kitchen at the children. Right's traditional about it being messy.
Speaker 2: After I'd exploded at the children, Lewis first, But then
Speaker 2: I always do this thing where I have to act
Speaker 2: like I'm angry at the one who's not in the room,
Speaker 2: but hoping the message will get through to the one
Speaker 2: who's in the room.
Speaker 1: Right, It's really exactly you know what you are?
Speaker 2: What a perpetual double agent?
Speaker 1: Ah, a double agent, A mole. I'm totally a mole,
Speaker 1: a full mole.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So then I'm like, Sunday was going to batt
Speaker 2: and this and I can't.
Speaker 1: And then Sunday walked in, So that was terrible. That
Speaker 1: was anyway. I stomped out of the room.
Speaker 3: I was did the normal nice to Sunday. She's the
Speaker 3: only Buckey I love her out of your kids.
Speaker 1: Also, I just love her.
Speaker 2: Anyone who's got a teenage daughter or knows a teenage girl,
Speaker 2: they're really frightening. We're all scared of them.
Speaker 1: She is so beautiful.
Speaker 2: I love her, But there were years where I could
Speaker 2: not have looked you in the eye and said that,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, kids, though no I didn't. Boys are much
Speaker 2: much more simple, Okay, boys are straightforward. I mean you
Speaker 2: do have a thing.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 2: So I went into the lounde room and because you know,
Speaker 2: the world is conspiring against us to prevent any enjoyment.
Speaker 3: Right, Merry Christmas. There's Christmas special. Is just filled the joy.
Speaker 2: Christmas.
Speaker 1: I hope it's my last day.
Speaker 3: This is our Christmas special. Okay, well, I hate my kids.
Speaker 2: There's no joy in the it has a happy ending.
Speaker 2: This is the thing about.
Speaker 3: The back up gathering.
Speaker 2: We all know that we will be walking barefoot through
Speaker 2: fecal matter, in the trenches of life, barefoot.
Speaker 3: Like Christmas itself. All the hotels will not let us in.
Speaker 3: No inn will have us.
Speaker 2: That's right for one anyway. So I went into the
Speaker 2: lound room to play. I just want to watch some
Speaker 2: something on TV. I wanted to go below Dick, yes,
Speaker 2: but I couldn't because of the I just know whatever
Speaker 2: we've cut off.
Speaker 1: We've been cut off.
Speaker 3: Pay your bill.
Speaker 2: No, it's not. We're piggybacking off someone I don't know who. Anyway,
Speaker 2: passwords have change everything. Bar codes of But you know what,
Speaker 2: I could watch bomb haven't done it? Christmas movie? Christmas
Speaker 2: movie and it said watch live. So I've got no option.
Speaker 3: Just quickly any free to wear producers currently listening or
Speaker 3: casting agents. You know, if we laughed the buck up.
Speaker 2: And also you know what, well may we disrespect it.
Speaker 2: But if that's gone, what the streamers have got you,
Speaker 2: as Mum would say, by those shortened curl, which is
Speaker 2: a terrible.
Speaker 3: Thank you for to ask for our barcode. I'm going
Speaker 3: to do it, ask for us. So I watched the
Speaker 3: Christmas movie Great and you didn't like it?
Speaker 2: No, I loved it.
Speaker 1: I watched all of it. Yea increment it had to
Speaker 1: the end, had.
Speaker 4: Been to the end.
Speaker 1: Also because it was so bad, I could hate watch it.
Speaker 2: The casting was terrible. I seen you.
Speaker 1: I see pictures of the cast like it was just terrible.
Speaker 3: Sent me four movies. By the way, I was thinking,
Speaker 3: I think you broke several copyright laws. The amount of
Speaker 3: video you actually sent you were basically giving me for
Speaker 3: you to anyway.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know what was really weird.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know what it's called, so immaterial,
Speaker 2: but the mother, the way they cast mothers, like she's
Speaker 2: the mother of the heroines. So a woman in her
Speaker 2: maybe sixties, yeah, maybe, Early said I don't like that
Speaker 2: portrayal of women.
Speaker 3: For us, Okay, I don't like details.
Speaker 2: Please, Well, just always they're sort of round, and they've
Speaker 2: got daggy hair, and they're always a bit nervous. And
Speaker 2: they went, we.
Speaker 5: Weren't when everything could be linking once when you were
Speaker 5: growing up. Look, I packed your Christmas bobbles and they
Speaker 5: brought them from Philadelphia, Like, why do we always have
Speaker 5: to be Her husband was as gay as Christmas always is,
Speaker 5: and they didn't address that, but he was absolutely he
Speaker 5: was gayer than Peter.
Speaker 3: You know what I want to get. I want to
Speaker 3: care so myself on our buck Up series finale Christmas
Speaker 3: special you ready?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm all for equality in the world. I also
Speaker 3: want equality in the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, however, I love this.
Speaker 3: If you're casting are known gay in your lead and
Speaker 3: he's straight, I am out. I'm watching the whole thing
Speaker 3: going bad.
Speaker 2: So this guy wasn't even, he wasn't even. He was
Speaker 2: playing the husband of this woman who was so low status.
Speaker 3: Well, hang on than this tricky territory, because now we're
Speaker 3: talking about, like, what's gay? What straight? Going?
Speaker 2: Literally in no scene did he touch the woman who
Speaker 2: was his wife. Literally, And at one stage she goes
Speaker 2: dancing out of the room and it sort of she
Speaker 2: had to go following shuffling him, and no doubt in
Speaker 2: some shoes she'd brought from the chemist. Because that's how
Speaker 2: little they dream. Maybe he's just a bad actor. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: anyway I thought of you.
Speaker 1: We got around, well, I went, this is perfect.
Speaker 2: The world needs more Christmas movies because at the end
Speaker 2: I actually felt great.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: My issue with Christmas movies is something's happened in the
Speaker 3: last few years where they all think Christmas movies need
Speaker 3: to be rom coms. They do not. You can enjoy
Speaker 3: Christmas tragedy. Christmas is not about rom coms, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: christ When it's about love. Christmas is about putting up
Speaker 3: with those psychotic individuals forced to be in the room
Speaker 3: with you called your family. True, that is what Christmas
Speaker 3: movies should be about. It's those people. Lock them in
Speaker 3: a room and let's watch them for ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: Because you know what happens.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this today because I'm about to
Speaker 2: prep Christmas, right and we go to Peter's mum, mom
Speaker 2: and dad and all the family churn up and nay
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, Christmas Day. And I thought about it because
Speaker 2: doing Christmas, you know, people like you don't.
Speaker 5: Have to endure anything if you don't like your family.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's true, you don't have to.
Speaker 2: And if your family has been like a really, if
Speaker 2: they're into the dark arts, I understand that that you
Speaker 2: avoid them. But otherwise the stretch of Christmas is like
Speaker 2: an emotional yoga class.
Speaker 3: A lot of breathing, a lot of you.
Speaker 2: Know what happens when you come through it, You reach
Speaker 2: a point at which you attain I mean, you you
Speaker 2: ground down, but it's except its acceptance. It's acceptance. And
Speaker 2: is that not what we're all supposed to be doing
Speaker 2: in the way.
Speaker 3: To Christmas is to just in intervals, just go and
Speaker 3: stand outside for a bit.
Speaker 2: Well that's why, that's what's happened.
Speaker 3: Now that people are uncles and Grandpa's always Grandpa.
Speaker 2: They just just going to.
Speaker 3: Stare at stuff. They worked it out so just as
Speaker 3: many times as you can just get outside, I.
Speaker 1: Thought they did that. When it's time to.
Speaker 3: Do the dishes, no, just look ahead look at it.
Speaker 2: They just stare.
Speaker 3: If you can grab a body of water, even better,
Speaker 3: God man of a certain age just loves staring at
Speaker 3: bodies of water. New Pool will do it. Yeah. Second
Speaker 3: tip that I realized this until a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: An uncle of mine, he's a big job for the day.
Speaker 3: It's cooking the meat. It's all about cooking the meat
Speaker 3: on the barbie. Then my dad was cooking me in
Speaker 3: the barbie a couple of years ago, and then it
Speaker 3: hit me, Kate, men cook the meat on the barbie
Speaker 3: so they don't have to do to anyone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they go out.
Speaker 3: It taken so long to realize because.
Speaker 2: Nate, Yes, Kate, you know that thing they say about
Speaker 2: how men communicate side by side and shoulder communicate face
Speaker 2: to face. So how what happens when men and cook
Speaker 2: on a barbecue looking forward and someone always comes up
Speaker 2: and stands next to that.
Speaker 1: I think those could use it too, is sort of
Speaker 1: thing the chef.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a kiss, it's perfect, it's the chef perfect.
Speaker 3: That's a bit done. Does your dad beloves a barbecue?
Speaker 3: He's been out there a few times over the years.
Speaker 2: Has he got a novelty apron?
Speaker 3: And kiss?
Speaker 2: Yes, kiss the chef or would you wear one with
Speaker 2: fake boobs on it?
Speaker 3: Probably not? How's your dad? Good tits?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 3: See the Italians listening. I don't know a lot of
Speaker 3: Italians love Christmas Eve, so my whole life Christmas has
Speaker 3: been split over the too, which is fantastic. Got a
Speaker 3: huge Italian feast on Christmas Eve with which is so funny.
Speaker 3: Corals by candlelight playing on Non's TV the size of
Speaker 3: probably an iPhone. Now, all those.
Speaker 2: Years, what was her favorite.
Speaker 3: Of the Carol one was actually watching?
Speaker 2: It was alright, Marina Pry was always Pregnantrina always Marina Prime,
Speaker 2: always pregnant, beautiful, Well, she's very saintly.
Speaker 3: Love the woman, great voice.
Speaker 2: Memory of her apparently be conceived immaculately. That's how committed
Speaker 2: she was to the role of Carols.
Speaker 3: A lot of meat cooking was the point. A lot
Speaker 3: of men just taking turns of cooking.
Speaker 2: This is not a euphemism.
Speaker 3: Oh hello, but I've got very good at glazing.
Speaker 1: I am.
Speaker 3: Very eating sausages or you are you can.

Speaker 3: Do you use honey?
Speaker 2: And do you don't care what I use? Look at
Speaker 2: you trying to.
Speaker 3: N nuts.
Speaker 2: When I said it was a euphemism that means it's
Speaker 2: not a sexual thing putting nuts.
Speaker 3: I remember one year Cody took it upon himself to
Speaker 3: blaze the ham for everyone, and he really he really
Speaker 3: committed to it. And there was like, I can't remember
Speaker 3: what kind of nut was there, and it was excellent.
Speaker 3: I swear macadamia, macadamia.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, the dabler.
Speaker 3: That was real good.
Speaker 2: I put nuts and bacon on my potato salad, which
Speaker 2: I also make a stunning potato salad. I've got a
Speaker 2: few specialties and now I don't deviate from them. That's
Speaker 2: just what I do. They're enough.

Speaker 3: up with it.
Speaker 2: So adorable.
Speaker 3: Christmas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Christmas.
Speaker 2: Christmas well, okay, I've got a strange relationship with Christmas.
Speaker 3: Before you say the next thing, what I do get
Speaker 3: off you is you're one of those I need the
Speaker 3: Christmas tree to be real.
Speaker 2: No, We've got a plastic one.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's you know.
Speaker 2: You think that about me. But what you're forgetting is
Speaker 2: that I was raised without Christmas. So I had probably
Speaker 2: my first Christmas when I was twenty, and so Christmas
Speaker 2: is very strange to me.
Speaker 1: And particularly with children.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 2: Children aren't listening to this, are they?
Speaker 1: Line might be listening.
Speaker 3: You don't like somebody.
Speaker 2: Santa's amazing, HU, but not as amazing as some of
Speaker 2: the other people who live in the house, if you know.
Speaker 4: What I mean.
Speaker 3: One morning, I don't I can't remember my age. Yeah,
Speaker 3: true story. Yeah, that's how I learned things about the world.
Speaker 3: What by sneaking out early, young Nathan, Yeah, sneaks out early, Yeah,
Speaker 3: into the laundry.
Speaker 2: The house was sleeping. Not a creature was stirring, not
Speaker 2: in the mouse.
Speaker 3: My mum kiss for some reason, kissing Santa the tree,
Speaker 3: kissing Satan my presence right, And I got screamed out
Speaker 3: to go back to bed. I got up too early.
Speaker 2: She wanted, obviously to know what you were going to get.
Speaker 3: So there you go, kids, and you know what she'd
Speaker 3: been up all night, And as a twenty three year
Speaker 3: old I.
Speaker 2: Was anyway, I think so your relationship. So I just
Speaker 2: found it strange. And I kept saying to Peter when
Speaker 2: we especially when we first had children, because that's when
Speaker 2: you really when really and when Christmas people really kick in.
Speaker 2: And I would just go but this is too much
Speaker 2: the Dutch of God is saying, Nikolai will not enjoy this.
Speaker 2: A child's hand is easily filled.
Speaker 3: Oh I've offered, isn't that?
Speaker 2: But that's a beautiful saying. So the children don't need
Speaker 2: a lot like they'll play with a well, as Sash
Speaker 2: does to her son Milo, a lump of coal.
Speaker 1: He'll play with a lump of coal for hours on it,
Speaker 1: smear it on his face and call him sootie.
Speaker 4: Right, that's that's what will happen.
Speaker 3: Throw him on, red faces on you know, red I.
Speaker 2: Don't need to put up, I need to put it.
Speaker 1: Oh I will a red face on the sooty fan.
Speaker 2: Anyway. Christmas is so I have a complex relationship with it,
Speaker 2: but I actually love it. I love the day. I
Speaker 2: love I can't believe you've had this your whole life,
Speaker 2: your whole life. Amazing things. And you arrive and you
Speaker 2: pack things in the car, and then you all get
Speaker 2: out and eenies and then you eat, and then you
Speaker 2: have random cuddles and Peter's mum is just the most
Speaker 2: magnificent nana, And then her sister will come around and
Speaker 2: everyone drops in and the kids go play cricket in
Speaker 2: the backyard.
Speaker 1: A lot of concrete. It's just beautiful.
Speaker 3: It's Christmas.
Speaker 2: It's Christmas.
Speaker 3: Kids are not doing which really hurts.
Speaker 2: My housework in my house.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We grew up in a street with a lot
Speaker 3: of kids. So many kids. Yeah, I would say around
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty five of us that will hang out often.
Speaker 3: You know, the day's kids. You leave the house at
Speaker 3: nine am, not come.
Speaker 2: Back to dinner, had to drink from the hose.
Speaker 3: All of that Christmas morning was psycotic.
Speaker 2: We were running up and down, knocking on doors.
Speaker 4: What do you get?
Speaker 2: What you get?
Speaker 3: Running back there, running with the bike and crying because
Speaker 3: their bikes better.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, because he's got a book.
Speaker 3: There's a fire over something else. This got broken. No
Speaker 3: batteries for these batteries, no battery. My water gun sucks.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, lied to me. We're nearest now and it's
Speaker 3: already broken broken. Yeah, we're are the batteries. Mum and dad.
Speaker 1: Do you think that doesn't happen now?
Speaker 3: I don't think it happens. Doesn't happen for any of
Speaker 3: my nieces or nephews. None of them have the.
Speaker 2: Relationship with kids. Like a street there because people are scared.
Speaker 2: The children are all inside the devices.
Speaker 3: They've seen too many Netflix true crime documentaries that start
Speaker 3: with footage of kids running up and down.
Speaker 2: That's right, But you know he's the He's the great.
Speaker 2: If we can take one little bit of wisdom from
Speaker 2: this world, just one please, The great lie that we
Speaker 2: all believe this generation of parents is that the children
Speaker 2: are safer inside on devices than they are out on
Speaker 2: the street.
Speaker 3: More bloody wrong? Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: You know what? Push them out the door, make them believe,
Speaker 2: and shut them and let them work.
Speaker 4: Work.
Speaker 2: And also, how many great Australian sprinters have been born
Speaker 2: from running away from the neighborhood, peto, because you knew
Speaker 2: as a kid everyone knew the house to avoid everyone.
Speaker 3: You get this growing up in Greensboro, Hell, Greensboro, huge,
Speaker 3: big childhood rumor that used to scare the living daylights
Speaker 3: out of every kid in my street. Was this we made?
Speaker 3: It was probably made up the man in the white van.
Speaker 3: The man would be out in the street and would
Speaker 3: be playing soccer or something. Yeah, I wasn't, No, they
Speaker 3: were doing something else.
Speaker 2: Can I blow your whistle?
Speaker 3: Can I blow your whistle? Okay? If anuendo? When I
Speaker 3: was nine, No, that wasn't.
Speaker 2: It was literally, he would have loved the whistle. And
Speaker 2: you would have said, can I just give you a hint?
Speaker 2: And they would have been, valvo is going to give
Speaker 2: you some feedback on soccer. You'd be like, your sox
Speaker 2: would look better if you pulled them up to mid
Speaker 2: calf and didn't light them.
Speaker 1: Can't roll down like that.
Speaker 3: So someone would someone would yell out, lying, but man
Speaker 3: in the white van, and and then everyone would like
Speaker 3: scream in terror. They would run inside. They dropped their
Speaker 3: bike in the middle of the foot path. It was intense,
Speaker 3: right just two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, would you see there is a real
Speaker 2: he's a real man in the white van.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they think it might have been several men.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is several mens. Maybe we should move
Speaker 3: on because it's.
Speaker 4: Christ I was like, are you detail you think?
Speaker 3: But that got shot off between a few of us, do.
Speaker 2: You know who?
Speaker 1: Okay, so we need to reflect.

Speaker 2: I didn't know that was the neighborhood game when we
Speaker 2: were young, that we would you call it?
Speaker 1: That was the thing I could say, you couldn't misuse it.
Speaker 3: I have another story to tell, but I think it
Speaker 3: actually is probably too great.
Speaker 4: To mccams stop.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll move on. It's Christmas, Kate. I googled something
Speaker 3: for our listeners tomorrow and it's this. It's a bit
Speaker 3: of an even flow to the conversation at Christmas lunch.
Speaker 3: We all know that this is apparently a bunch of
Speaker 3: questions you're supposed to ask people to get conversations started.
Speaker 1: Why do you need to get conversation started.
Speaker 3: It's saying it's like, it's like and it's it's to say, well,
Speaker 3: the article was about so you don't do politics?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, don't do you don't want to do politics,
Speaker 2: don't do politics. Unleas of course you all share the
Speaker 2: same politics.
Speaker 3: But even then, I say spice it up. I say
Speaker 3: go for it. Why not grow up?
Speaker 2: Okay, people haven't grown up? People are more childlike than ever.
Speaker 3: Here's some questions Kate feeling who you really are, and
Speaker 3: the answers. If I asked anyone in my family any
Speaker 3: of these, i'ld get bullied for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1: But are you going to pretend that we're all right?
Speaker 3: You're ready?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Don't actually eat?
Speaker 2: No, I've got a fredo and it's a wide headed
Speaker 2: fredo and they're so rare.

Speaker 4: I didn't look. I didn't look.
Speaker 2: But also they're hard to find. Yeah, he's a milky top.
Speaker 2: Can I blow you with them?
Speaker 3: What age were you when you discovered that you were
Speaker 3: a milkie top? Well, actually the first question is quite
Speaker 3: funny because we know the answer. What would you like

Speaker 1: Constantly fossicking?
Speaker 2: Constantly fossicking?
Speaker 3: Hate your chocolate?
Speaker 2: I can't, I couldn't.
Speaker 3: You're gonna ask to ask family members this tomorrow family members.
Speaker 3: I know you're gonna get bullied.
Speaker 2: Try explaining first what a biography is. Then we'll get
Speaker 2: onto what you call it, like what a presumption and
Speaker 2: what a middle class present?
Speaker 3: Right now, if you're getting annoyed by Kate talking with
Speaker 3: her mouthfull, this is just warming up for tomorrow with
Speaker 3: all your family at the table. This is not isn't
Speaker 3: This question is not the worst. I think some answers
Speaker 3: would be, all right, what is the best perk of
Speaker 3: your job?
Speaker 2: I don't have a job. I don't have a job,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna say, what's your perk?
Speaker 3: If your caller?

Speaker 2: You know, I'm hanging by a thread. I'm hanging.
Speaker 1: I'm hanging by a threat, and it's a gossamer thread.
Speaker 3: It's Christmas Eve, so apparently you can ask people that tomorrow.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 3: What's the best perk of your job?
Speaker 4: Again?
Speaker 3: Like that one?
Speaker 2: No, I don't mind it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I don't like anything that requires me.
Speaker 3: To think, Okay, what about this one?
Speaker 4: Then?
