20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: he was like that with me. Because the eldest always

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: has it harder than the youngest one.

22
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: We have to pave the way.

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Yes, it was the same. Did you find that? And

00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: My youngest brother, well until he's twenty now twenty five,

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: he's the prince of the family. Mom still goes shopping

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: for him, like, chose some shoes. But Mum, he's an

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: adult with a full time job.

34
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: You can't be grown up your parents still even knowing

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: your shoes eyes and buying you shoes. That is not right. Patsy.

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: You're the younger. You must have been spoiled over in dollars,

37
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: absolutely spoilt, but more so by my brothers. I was

38
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: the only girl, so they spoilt me rotten. Do you

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: know what. There's a friend of mine, he's a psychologist, right,

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: and he said within about sort of thirty seconds of

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: meeting people he could work out roughly where they were

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: in the family structure, where the you were the eldest,

43
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the middle or the youngest. He said, it's really really clear.

44
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: He was saying how normally the eldest is like an overachiever.

45
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: They try too hard because they want the approve that

46
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the younger one was just given. Do you think that's

47
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: true in your family? I would say it's mine.

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: I think we're we have more grid about us because

49
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: we had to pave the way and push through.

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Hang on a minute, there's a young producer in the

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: studio sign or this thrill speak out. Then that is complete.

52
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: But yes, we are you the younger. I'm the younger,

53
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: scream youngest. You've seen the way just glides through life

54
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: every weekend on Instagram's drinking champagne. That's what you are, champagne, Charlie.

55
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: So what what what do you want to say?

56
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 2: Because we actually have the toughness because we have to

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: put up with the bullying of the eldest. Yeah, just no,

58
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: we make it easy for you because when we're fourteen fifteen,

59
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: our curfew is like nine pm. Then by the time

60
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: you get to fourteen, you can go away for a boys' weekend.

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true. That did happen. We are clear.

62
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: It's like a forest, isn't it. We're clear in the

63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: path and you just come along whistling, going to death

64
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600
