The weekend was great, okay. 464 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 2: Good weather was that it was overcast. 465 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: The first day was a little cars but it was 466 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: kind of nice and pleasant because I wasn't too hot anyway. 467 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: So we arrived kids, no kids, kids with kids, families. 468 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: There's two other families. There's three families, okay, and a 469 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: friend of mine they there wider family have a like 470 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: a shack okay, at a place called Swan Bay. It's 471 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: like a row of houses on on a bay obviously, 472 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: but it's not like it's not bustling, if that makes sense. 473 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: It's quite small, quiet north of Sydney North, a couple 474 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: of hours north, and it is quite an old house. 475 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's like maybe a half hour past a 476 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: little bit more. And the house is really old, like 477 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: it's been passed down pretty much. There's been minor tweaks 478 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: to it, but it's it's got the authentic authenticity of 479 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: an old house. Okay, it's like that, like old carpet old. 480 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: It's probably a spestos whatever on land sheds in the 481 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: back like a proper old slight lean. Yeah. If it 482 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: gets windy, it runs on the front like not that bad, 483 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: not that so anyway, I took the family. My family 484 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: had been there before, but when they were much younger. 485 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: Macy probably was in the picture, and Oscar was quite young, 486 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: so none the wiser, some would say, So I've taken 487 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: them to this house, and we've got there. We got 488 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: there first, and I've gone and I've unlocked the house, 489 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: and my kids get out of the car and the 490 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: first thought is what's this place? And I was like, 491 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: I didn't really preface that it's not going to be 492 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: quite as modern as they used to. 493 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 2: Now they've got the new apartment. 494 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 4: I know. 495 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: And you know what it reminded me of. And I'll 496 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: tell you why it reminded me of. This is, you 497 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: know the movie Grown Ups by Adam Sandler, and he's 498 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: so he's quite he's like a celebrity in this in 499 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: this movie, and his kids are used to a certain 500 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: type of lifestyle, but they go on holiday to a 501 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: lake house, which is nowhere near the same lifestyle as that. 502 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: For example, they cut from a silver cloth. 503 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: Is that say thank you? Yep? 504 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I think that's right. I would say this. But for example, 505 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: the TV has a big box on the back of it. 506 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: Why is it so fat form? Yeah?

Who's going to 514 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: wash the dishes. It's like me relaxed, CID, I'm doing it. 515 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 2: It's per usual. 516 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like so all of the modern amenities that they're 517 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: used to, this house has none of them, right, And 518 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,479 Speaker 1: it was like, ekon, no way, They've just installed ceiling vans. 519 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 1: That was the entertainment of the day. The kids were 520 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: just like watching the ceiling fan. 521 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: Right. 522 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: But the whole vibe of the place is to get 523 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: away from the model the man. That's the whole charm 524 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: of it. 525 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 2: But it takes I guess a little while to TRANSI 526 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 2: into a new environment for the kids. 527 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was like I was like, are you 528 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: fucking guys for real? Like, but then I thought, ah, 529 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: this is probably my fault that they're like this, because, 530 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: for example, we have a robot vacuum and my kids 531 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: were like, wow, that's been nice. It was free. It 532 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: was like the rice bubbles dry rice bubbles thank god, 533 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: ended up on the old disgusting carpet in this house 534 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: and Oscar was like, oh, the rabot will get it. 535 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: I was like, fuck at hell. And every five minutes 536 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: I would come back to one of the kids trying 537 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: to work out why the TV didn't have Netflix and 538 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: I kept saying, we're not here for this. There's yards 539 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: out the back, beauty. 540 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. 541 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: That like like the difference is right. So the guy 542 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: who owns the hat or the family who owns the house, 543 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: their kid gets there and he's like, come on, Oscar, 544 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: let's go straight out to the bay looking for crabs. 545 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: He knows what's up. He knows what's happening, and it's 546 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: like he's like, okay. So for example, sometimes you know 547 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: when you go to a salt water body of salt 548 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: water and it can be the salt can make your 549 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: skin itchy. Ah Jesus, yeah, it's that is. 550 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: Then it's a night. 551 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: It was like the end of the world when Oscar 552 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: realizes made him itchy. 553 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: And also it's not it's like every third, like time 554 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: they're in the salt water makes him ITCHI not every time, 555 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 2: So it's like such a roll of the dice.

Now he's dead and you. 990 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 2: Know, now what do I do? 991 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:10,879 Speaker 3: Yeah? 992 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 1: So my question is do you open the gate at playgrounds? 993 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,799 Speaker 1: Are the children of the children that you don't know 994 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 1: that you don't. 995 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 2: I think if it's coming inside into the enclosure, it's 996 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 2: totally fine. 997 00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it is. 998 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 2: Also depends how much think no far out. It's just 999 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,879 Speaker 2: easy just to ignore other children, isn't it. 1000 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, But then I don't want the parent to come 1001 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: over and be like if say what you can't. 1002 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 2: The parent coming inside has got full hands full of 1003 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 2: different and sometimes those pop locked doors to get into 1004 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: the play, they're hard to open. I think if you're 1005 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,720 Speaker 2: opening it for the parents, I think, what you definitely 1006 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,240 Speaker 2: don't want to do? We can we can all agree 1007 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 2: that you don't. Because sometimes when leaving daycare and a parent, 1008 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,279 Speaker 2: you know, I'll go to the sign out in the 1009 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 2: iPad and then Marley said, Marley's cool. If Lowelan runs 1010 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 2: to the gate leaving and a parent goes. 1011 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: Here, you go, oh, yeah, it's gone. Yeah. Yeah. If 1012 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: the kid's trying to get out, then no, that's a 1013 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,319 Speaker 1: definite no note. Yeah. But then again I. 1014 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 2: Reckon, But what would how would? The most important consideration 1015 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 2: here is how's makes he going to react? Because if 1016 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 2: I'm pushing Lola on the swing and I back off 1017 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 2: for two pushes, She's like. 1018 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,880 Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa what the pain force? 1019 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 1: I pushed me? 1020 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:40,919 Speaker 2: A piece of shit? 1021 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 1: Like push yourself. 1022 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,880 Speaker 2: And so if I walk away, if I leave her, 1023 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 2: if I desert Lola on the swing to then care 1024 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,640 Speaker 2: for another child, she's gonna lose it. 1025 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah.
