Well hello, now we were all heard 0:00:34.525 --> 0:00:36.405 some big old sort of ten minute gap in the 0:00:36.405 --> 0:00:38.885 news and sport today and then neither to do with 0:00:38.925 --> 0:00:41.404 you two are producer Caning comes running into my studio 0:00:41.485 --> 0:00:45.724 and goes, the engineers are doing some live testing. Well, 0:00:45.805 --> 0:00:46.525 it hasn't worked. 0:00:46.565 --> 0:00:47.644 It's not testing if it's live. 0:00:47.765 --> 0:00:47.805 No. 0:00:47.885 --> 0:00:50.485 And also it's just like for the last six hours, 0:00:50.525 --> 0:00:52.885 so there no humans here. Why not do some of 0:00:52.925 --> 0:00:55.845 the testing in those six hours? Why wait until the 0:00:55.845 --> 0:00:59.285 breakfast show's here to start actually mucking around? Join the 0:00:59.365 --> 0:01:01.845 news and sport. There could have been a serious news 0:01:01.965 --> 0:01:05.085 or sports story there with a weird, strange gap. Yeah, 0:01:05.125 --> 0:01:05.325 I know. 0:01:05.565 --> 0:01:07.765 Can you come in twenty minutes early just to take this? Yes, 0:01:08.605 --> 0:01:11.405 and no it doesn't work live testing? That's Okaylin, did 0:01:11.405 --> 0:01:11.725 it work? 0:01:11.805 --> 0:01:13.485 No? So what happens now? 0:01:14.445 --> 0:01:14.605 Yes? 0:01:14.645 --> 0:01:20.045 Six thirty has crossed. Now, Patsy, you got caught with 0:01:20.085 --> 0:01:21.205 the parking fine yesterday. 0:01:21.205 --> 0:01:22.645 I don't get me start. 0:01:22.485 --> 0:01:25.405 But passes. I think in this city there are parking 0:01:25.485 --> 0:01:29.045 signs that are impenetrable, undecipherable. 0:01:28.405 --> 0:01:29.485 Four or five different signs. 0:01:29.525 --> 0:01:32.285 Yeah, it's when there's like the crest of arms the Herald, 0:01:32.445 --> 0:01:35.725 where it's up four quadrants. You're like, with no training, 0:01:36.165 --> 0:01:39.245 with no formal training, how I want to know? What 0:01:39.325 --> 0:01:41.685 are the different clauses that I'm looking at here? It's 0:01:41.685 --> 0:01:43.845 like a legal contract in a different language, isn't it. 0:01:43.925 --> 0:01:46.045 But your one is one of those split down the 0:01:46.085 --> 0:01:48.845 middle with the no parking sign. 0:01:48.845 --> 0:01:51.165 All right, I see what you're saying, but let's put 0:01:51.165 --> 0:01:54.005 it into context. One o'clock in the afternoon, half asleep, 0:01:54.085 --> 0:01:57.605 been up since the middle of the night, and obviously. 0:01:57.365 --> 0:01:59.245 Walking up that hill again with that sack of wood 0:01:59.245 --> 0:02:01.845 and bare feet in the snow, but up since midnight. 0:02:02.285 --> 0:02:07.005 Mine was playing tricks yet again, and I seriously thought 0:02:07.005 --> 0:02:09.725 I was in the right I thought, no, I thought 0:02:09.764 --> 0:02:12.964 it was unusual that I got to park right out 0:02:13.005 --> 0:02:14.764 the front of the cafe. Was meeting the Love God 0:02:14.805 --> 0:02:16.325 for lunch yesterday at Williamstown. 0:02:16.405 --> 0:02:18.165 Oh lovely. Yeah, it was just one. 0:02:18.085 --> 0:02:20.405 Of those opportunity rings me. Hey, I've got a spare 0:02:21.005 --> 0:02:23.685 twenty minutes, half an hour, let's meet for meet for 0:02:23.805 --> 0:02:25.925 you know, a bit of lunch, and how's your father? 0:02:26.565 --> 0:02:29.245 And so, oh my god, restaurant. 0:02:30.165 --> 0:02:33.644 Suddenly they're in the kitchen, in that meat locker. 0:02:37.005 --> 0:02:42.085 And right out the front, right out the front as 0:02:42.125 --> 0:02:44.525 the park, which I thought was really unusual. 0:02:44.525 --> 0:02:46.605 Now I know why you always got to be suspicious. 0:02:46.805 --> 0:02:51.845 A damn loading zone. And I parked there very fully confident. 0:02:51.885 --> 0:02:53.405 And when I went in and met Chris, I said, 0:02:53.405 --> 0:02:54.285 you never believe I've got. 0:02:54.205 --> 0:02:57.365 A park right out in the front, right out the front. 0:02:57.445 --> 0:02:58.445 It never happens. 0:02:58.925 --> 0:03:03.605 And then came out and the damn ticket blowing in the. 0:03:03.565 --> 0:03:07.605 Break more than your lunch, more, far more. 0:03:07.445 --> 0:03:07.885 Than the lunch. 0:03:07.925 --> 0:03:10.605 I could have flown on a learjet to Paris and 0:03:10.685 --> 0:03:11.365 had lunch. 0:03:12.325 --> 0:03:12.445 Oh. 0:03:12.485 --> 0:03:16.285 I was so annoyed. I thought, oh, how stupid. I 0:03:16.445 --> 0:03:18.165 just did not interpret it. 0:03:18.165 --> 0:03:20.125 It's correctly, it's crystal clearly. Yeah. 0:03:20.205 --> 0:03:21.925 I don't want to be rude Patsy, but this is 0:03:22.005 --> 0:03:25.485 just two signs. The top says loading signs seven am 0:03:25.525 --> 0:03:28.045 to one pm, p ass Monday to Saturday. From there 0:03:28.045 --> 0:03:30.685 you just goboard's one pm Monday to Saturday. 0:03:31.685 --> 0:03:34.885 A child could read this. I didn't see that. Okay, 0:03:35.005 --> 0:03:36.845 well you can't looked at it. You must just dump 0:03:36.925 --> 0:03:39.765 that car there, thinking I work in showbiz. I'll park 0:03:39.805 --> 0:03:41.925 it where I want. And I threw the keys at somebody. 0:03:41.925 --> 0:03:42.685 Where's that valet? 0:03:42.725 --> 0:03:45.525 Yeah? Yeah, probably some poor guy want to unload some 0:03:45.565 --> 0:03:47.885 fruit and edge for the place and now has to 0:03:47.885 --> 0:03:49.805 go on and do laps or something. And that all 0:03:49.805 --> 0:03:50.725 those peaches and. 0:03:50.805 --> 0:03:52.885 That it was awful, and it was kind of on 0:03:52.925 --> 0:03:54.525 a funny bit of a road where there's like a 0:03:54.565 --> 0:03:58.045 bend and either side of it obviously is normal parks. 0:03:58.245 --> 0:03:59.925 I don't know what I was thinking. It just did 0:03:59.965 --> 0:04:01.525 not compute in my brain. 0:04:01.565 --> 0:04:03.245 Here's what I would say they need to do in 0:04:03.285 --> 0:04:07.725 this country to save the suburbs right from online shopping. 0:04:07.885 --> 0:04:10.565 It's really hard to park at your local places. Yeah 0:04:10.565 --> 0:04:12.365 it is. I don't know what the answer is, but 0:04:12.445 --> 0:04:14.685 it's making it really hard. This is why they run 0:04:14.725 --> 0:04:18.045 the risk of people going online, because we're just lazy 0:04:18.125 --> 0:04:20.924 and time staffed. It's a nightmare. You've got these narrow 0:04:20.925 --> 0:04:24.364 little streets. Trying to park is an absolute nightmare, isn't it, 0:04:24.365 --> 0:04:24.964 pat Yeah. 0:04:24.844 --> 0:04:25.044 It is. 0:04:25.125 --> 0:04:28.565 And small business, Yes, I feel really really sorry for 0:04:28.604 --> 0:04:30.844 them because everyone's going to the major shopping malls. 0:04:30.885 --> 0:04:34.125 This is a beautiful little strip, gorgeous. 0:04:34.005 --> 0:04:36.564 Yeah, and you know that's where you'll find those shops 0:04:36.604 --> 0:04:40.085 that aren't like the big multinationals, all the little bootiques 0:04:40.205 --> 0:04:43.645 and just struggling business owners who God knows. 0:04:43.525 --> 0:04:45.164 You've got it. We've got to hang on to that 0:04:45.205 --> 0:04:47.484 because the one of the lovely things about this country 0:04:47.525 --> 0:04:51.525 is all the suburbs in Melbourne right are different. Yes, 0:04:51.604 --> 0:04:53.925 I really really like that. They've got their own little 0:04:53.964 --> 0:04:56.205 mum and pop stores and businesses that have been in 0:04:56.245 --> 0:04:59.284 those communities for decades, right, and obviously during COVID that 0:04:59.364 --> 0:05:01.525 really got damage, not of them aren't there anymore. So 0:05:01.525 --> 0:05:04.724 the ones that are really really they're part of the community. 0:05:04.844 --> 0:05:07.445 They they know you, yes, yeah, you know, and they 0:05:07.484 --> 0:05:09.885 ask they've got this to know like because they see 0:05:09.924 --> 0:05:12.205 you a lot like most weeks. They know what you've 0:05:12.245 --> 0:05:14.164 been through in your life and what's happened, and we 0:05:14.245 --> 0:05:16.765 really need that. That's why the last domains of an 0:05:16.804 --> 0:05:19.325 actual community now is that because some of the old 0:05:19.364 --> 0:05:21.844 pubs are dying out now, no one goes to church 0:05:21.924 --> 0:05:24.525 and so that connection with someone, those local shops are 0:05:24.565 --> 0:05:26.044 really really important. I don't know what the answers, but 0:05:26.085 --> 0:05:28.404 they need some way where it's just easy for us 0:05:28.445 --> 0:05:31.164 to dump the cars without fearing of I can't read 0:05:31.164 --> 0:05:33.645 this parking sign. I just go click and collect. 0:05:34.484 --> 0:05:37.764 At least take the parking signs completely idiot proof. 0:05:38.404 --> 0:05:42.484 Now I'm having a go at Patsy having some midday befuddlement, 0:05:42.484 --> 0:05:45.125 because this is exactly what happened to me yesterday at 0:05:45.164 --> 0:05:48.205 one o'clock when I terrified an old lady. Oh no, 0:05:48.604 --> 0:05:51.044 so full discosuts happened next the. 0:05:51.284 --> 0:05:53.765 Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:05:54.284 --> 0:05:58.325 So Patsy had her midday confusion. Essay, I had perfuddlement 0:05:58.404 --> 0:06:02.205 at midday, you're write, Patsy, it's with these hours and 0:06:02.245 --> 0:06:04.484 the amount of years doing them that that sort of 0:06:04.525 --> 0:06:08.724 one till two is the grazer. You can just wig out. 0:06:09.645 --> 0:06:11.765 My family, no, not to even call me unless they 0:06:11.924 --> 0:06:14.445 really need to. My wife will begin if she does come, 0:06:14.484 --> 0:06:18.484 and then have you had your nap? And I go, no, 0:06:19.765 --> 0:06:21.244 all right, call me back when you work it out 0:06:21.284 --> 0:06:23.564 and you've had a cup of tea. So there needs 0:06:23.565 --> 0:06:25.445 to be a buffer zone. You're bear to come out 0:06:25.445 --> 0:06:28.245 with hibernation anyway, Yes, I was running some errands, and 0:06:28.245 --> 0:06:30.005 I didn't realize at the time it all drifted and 0:06:30.044 --> 0:06:34.005 I was in the gray zone, and so I also 0:06:34.125 --> 0:06:38.765 turning to my car. I wasn't returning to my car. 0:06:39.005 --> 0:06:41.724 I was returned to a car exactly the same color 0:06:41.885 --> 0:06:44.564 as mine, not exactly the same make or model, but 0:06:44.645 --> 0:06:48.244 exactly the same color, the mid sized suv. I rip 0:06:48.284 --> 0:06:51.044 open the door, it's unlocked, and thinking I'm getting in 0:06:51.044 --> 0:06:54.964 my car. Where suddenly an old lady in the passenger seat, 0:06:54.964 --> 0:06:58.445 and I mean a really old, frail lady actually shrieks. 0:06:58.565 --> 0:07:00.404 I really scared, as I would do, because you know, 0:07:00.445 --> 0:07:03.164 there's all these car jackets at the and suddenly looks 0:07:03.205 --> 0:07:07.525 like there's some devilish, handsome, roguish one, a charmer, a charmer, 0:07:07.645 --> 0:07:11.245 roguish one, tikish one right is in the car some 0:07:11.364 --> 0:07:18.525 English cat. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. So two things happened. 0:07:18.525 --> 0:07:21.165 She actually was Oh my god, no, she was actually 0:07:21.205 --> 0:07:23.565 really I really did scare her. At the same time, 0:07:23.605 --> 0:07:26.364 I'm thinking we're part just down the road from an 0:07:26.405 --> 0:07:29.205 age care home, and I'm thinking, oh, this poor old deer. 0:07:29.725 --> 0:07:31.365 I'm now going to have to try and explain this 0:07:31.405 --> 0:07:33.965 isn't her car and take her back to the unit 0:07:34.005 --> 0:07:36.804 where there's probably some alarm going right now. Then I 0:07:36.885 --> 0:07:40.605 realized in a minute, this isn't the badge of my 0:07:42.245 --> 0:07:45.525 I'm the only confused dodgery fall. 0:07:45.364 --> 0:07:47.525 Here going to take you back to your. 0:07:50.485 --> 0:07:56.324 Where there's no alarm being wrong for my disappearances? 0:07:57.125 --> 0:07:58.885 How do you explain your way out of that one? 0:07:58.885 --> 0:08:03.725 To the lady? I actually went bright red, so I know, 0:08:04.804 --> 0:08:06.685 I'm so sorry. I thought this was my car and 0:08:06.725 --> 0:08:09.605 she just didn't understand. I think she was very old 0:08:10.045 --> 0:08:12.725 and she's very confused and actually really scared. She was 0:08:12.765 --> 0:08:15.765 doing that thing like leaning back. The worst thing I 0:08:15.845 --> 0:08:20.285 saw my last is of her clutching double handed her handbag. 0:08:20.565 --> 0:08:23.325 That's the first thing you'd go for, and it did 0:08:23.364 --> 0:08:25.804 look like a blinger one. I'm not half me. Did 0:08:25.804 --> 0:08:28.045 think I won if you go any some cash in there? 0:08:28.485 --> 0:08:32.725 Just going by myself something money's tight at the moment. 0:08:32.765 --> 0:08:35.765 I could just you could spit, spend me a honey 0:08:35.885 --> 0:08:39.125 or something in there. But yeah, I was just really 0:08:39.205 --> 0:08:41.725 was like I was so confused my car and I 0:08:41.765 --> 0:08:43.845 was like, my car is too up, and she was 0:08:43.885 --> 0:08:46.045 like trying to look and as I then got into 0:08:46.045 --> 0:08:47.845 my car, I was like looking back to her and 0:08:47.885 --> 0:08:50.645 she was on the phone to somebody, and I thought, 0:08:51.045 --> 0:08:53.645 hopefully that's just like someone who's like dumped her there, 0:08:53.804 --> 0:08:56.245 or it's on the places it might be pulled over 0:08:56.804 --> 0:09:00.685 if I accidentally kidnapped an elderly baby, and this was 0:09:00.725 --> 0:09:04.365 just like a dry run. I'm like, I'm very confused 0:09:04.405 --> 0:09:07.484 these hours. We can't read parking signs or what car 0:09:07.564 --> 0:09:10.205 we're even getting into I should be driving from that time. 0:09:10.564 --> 0:09:14.285 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:09:14.165 --> 0:09:15.925 Last week on the show, then we were trying to 0:09:16.165 --> 0:09:21.045 plot the ladder of escalation. In the news, Patsy had 0:09:21.084 --> 0:09:25.925 mentioned the word was it hubbubffle in Parliament? That's it? 0:09:26.005 --> 0:09:27.725 And a call early in the week had told us 0:09:27.725 --> 0:09:30.885 a story for claim to fain about Princess Diana in 0:09:30.965 --> 0:09:35.844 the department store Harrod's in the children's floor, causing a kerfuffle. 0:09:36.125 --> 0:09:38.845 So rio what did we settle on this end? There's 0:09:38.845 --> 0:09:43.045 the ladder of escalation with suggestions from our listeners. 0:09:42.804 --> 0:09:44.285 Going from lowest to highest. 0:09:44.324 --> 0:09:46.525 We start at the bottom with a who ha, then 0:09:46.564 --> 0:09:49.484 we go to a barnie, a hubbub, a brew haha, 0:09:49.605 --> 0:09:53.205 a kerfuffle, afrakka, a melee, and right at the top 0:09:53.324 --> 0:09:54.125 is a Donny Brook. 0:09:54.245 --> 0:09:56.564 Okay, we now need to do the same kind of ladder, 0:09:57.165 --> 0:10:00.605 the same kind of escalation, but now it's about confusion, 0:10:00.684 --> 0:10:04.725 the ladder of confusion with Patsy suffering perfuflnament yesterday and 0:10:04.845 --> 0:10:08.285 myself as well. One of you emailed just after the 0:10:08.285 --> 0:10:10.285 show were yesterday when I was talking that we're going 0:10:10.324 --> 0:10:12.804 to do this Christian a ladder. A word to place 0:10:12.804 --> 0:10:17.285 on the ladder of confusion discombobulated, rich I just looked 0:10:17.285 --> 0:10:20.565 it up to be confused, disorientated, throwing into a throwing 0:10:20.645 --> 0:10:24.245 into a state of uncertainty, often accompanied by a feeling 0:10:24.245 --> 0:10:28.765 of being off kilter. Off kilter is another grad yes, 0:10:29.725 --> 0:10:35.005 But discombobulated is a great old timey word. However, obviously, 0:10:35.084 --> 0:10:38.645 to be discombobulated, like to be disconnected, there has to 0:10:38.645 --> 0:10:41.245 be an opposite pairing word. But we don't ever say 0:10:41.444 --> 0:10:45.205 I'm feeling really great the moment, I'm actually combobulated. 0:10:45.165 --> 0:10:46.925 Very very put together. 0:10:48.684 --> 0:10:52.844 Happy combobulation. We should launch our own ones with happy combobulation. 0:10:53.324 --> 0:11:02.085 He grants that in notting Hill that wordence actually high level, 0:11:02.204 --> 0:11:02.565 very good. 0:11:02.725 --> 0:11:05.684 All right, So where do we think is at the bottom? 0:11:06.485 --> 0:11:11.325 I think in a tizzy is pretty low, just a 0:11:11.324 --> 0:11:13.444 bit of a nickers in a sort of thing. 0:11:13.725 --> 0:11:16.005 Yes, nickers in a twist is quite high up, though 0:11:16.485 --> 0:11:18.405 that should be on the in fact, that's missing from 0:11:18.444 --> 0:11:21.444 the lad of escalation. Nickers and the twist. Someone clutching 0:11:21.444 --> 0:11:24.925 their pearl handbag and their pearls in all sorts, yes, 0:11:24.965 --> 0:11:27.765 in all sorts. In bits in a tizzy is a 0:11:27.765 --> 0:11:28.125 good one. 0:11:28.125 --> 0:11:28.245 Though. 0:11:28.324 --> 0:11:30.804 Let's let's put that at the bottom. And wheel is 0:11:30.885 --> 0:11:34.605 in a tizzy with the microphones. That one costs about 0:11:34.645 --> 0:11:37.725 nine bucks actually, so it's the way things are going 0:11:37.765 --> 0:11:41.285 at the moment. You'll be a back down that shop. 0:11:41.965 --> 0:11:44.285 You got any old microphones that John Laws throw out 0:11:44.324 --> 0:11:44.565 when he. 0:11:44.605 --> 0:11:49.725 Retired, golden microphone. 0:11:49.885 --> 0:11:54.285 We couldn't even get a tin one golden that all right? 0:11:54.365 --> 0:11:56.804 So in a tizzy, I reckon. 0:11:57.005 --> 0:11:59.604 Befuddled is just above in a teasy. It's just a 0:11:59.684 --> 0:12:00.444 little bit befuddle. 0:12:00.765 --> 0:12:01.405 But it's mild. 0:12:01.804 --> 0:12:02.405 It's mild. 0:12:03.045 --> 0:12:05.885 Yeah, okay, so it's not you're not a you know, 0:12:06.165 --> 0:12:07.845 maybe we do the top and bottom right and then 0:12:07.885 --> 0:12:10.365 work in them to each other. So if we go 0:12:10.405 --> 0:12:13.405 in a tizzy, at the bottom is discombobulated. At the top, 0:12:14.245 --> 0:12:18.405 it's near the top the top of them and boozled. 0:12:18.405 --> 0:12:19.965 And boozed is pretty hard. 0:12:20.005 --> 0:12:21.125 What about flabbergasted? 0:12:23.005 --> 0:12:24.845 Flabagastad, I think is a very British thing. 0:12:24.885 --> 0:12:28.365 Like yesterday it's me in the car with that old 0:12:28.444 --> 0:12:32.405 lady was flabbaghasted And you can't be flabbagasted without an 0:12:32.405 --> 0:12:39.285 excamation mark yes, yes, come from I don't know. It's 0:12:39.324 --> 0:12:42.604 got to be a real old timy English word. I 0:12:43.405 --> 0:12:47.525 heard it in a cricket commentary in the eighties, first 0:12:47.564 --> 0:12:49.245 time I ever heard it. My dad used to listen 0:12:49.285 --> 0:12:53.805 to the cricket on like the radio. A terrible spot 0:12:53.845 --> 0:12:56.765 on the radio, but it's huge in England. Test Matt Special, 0:12:56.804 --> 0:13:01.885 Henry Blowfeld, it's an institution. Yeah, amazing voice, right, but 0:13:01.925 --> 0:13:04.445 because there'd be lots of non activity, it's cricket on 0:13:04.444 --> 0:13:07.564 the radio. The commentation is like Blowers as he was called, 0:13:07.684 --> 0:13:09.645 would talk about the ps and he would have these 0:13:09.684 --> 0:13:13.204 conversations on air to the UK with these pictures, the 0:13:13.285 --> 0:13:17.965 mister pictures the pictures probably saying there's the queen coming 0:13:18.005 --> 0:13:20.485 to watch the game. Yeah, she said she'd be run 0:13:20.564 --> 0:13:23.765 at four o'clock. Anyway. I remember once they were playing India, 0:13:23.804 --> 0:13:26.084 I think, and some sort of skulldug red happened out. 0:13:26.125 --> 0:13:30.645 Then lowis To said, well, I'm simply flabbergast, and it 0:13:30.684 --> 0:13:32.245 felt the right. I remember saying to my dad what 0:13:32.245 --> 0:13:37.005 does that mean? He went confused. He nailed it, Yes, 0:13:37.485 --> 0:13:40.005 all right, So what's at the top currently? 0:13:40.084 --> 0:13:43.165 I think Ben Boozeled is the is the clubhouse leader? 0:13:43.204 --> 0:13:44.005 What do you guys think? 0:13:44.525 --> 0:13:46.525 Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, all right, they're settle on 0:13:46.525 --> 0:13:49.484 that for now. Calling then what are we missing? I'll 0:13:49.485 --> 0:13:51.845 give me a call. Thirteen fifty five, twenty two. This 0:13:51.925 --> 0:13:54.485 is the ladder of confusion, when we are thrown into 0:13:54.485 --> 0:13:57.405 a state of uncertainty and off kilter. 0:13:57.925 --> 0:14:00.525 The Christian O'Connell show podcast. 0:14:01.485 --> 0:14:06.805 My Mum's seventy fifth birthday yesterday, Dan Chare was strange 0:14:06.845 --> 0:14:08.165 being all the way here and it's like a big 0:14:08.204 --> 0:14:10.845 birthday for her. We were doing our video call yesterday 0:14:10.885 --> 0:14:13.204 evening and I'm saying, my god, you're seventy five, and 0:14:13.285 --> 0:14:15.765 that's I'm chatting to. I'm doing the maths, and I was, oh, 0:14:15.804 --> 0:14:17.565 my god, she had me when she was twenty two. 0:14:17.925 --> 0:14:22.045 She never even thought about that. Twenty two. That's young, 0:14:22.125 --> 0:14:24.885 isn't it. Yeah. I suddenly we were like chatting. And 0:14:24.925 --> 0:14:26.885 she was like, you know, just theyre always talking about 0:14:26.885 --> 0:14:29.165 old friends, are their? So you don't know your mum 0:14:29.245 --> 0:14:31.205 and dad do that the like people? You go, I 0:14:31.205 --> 0:14:33.645 don't know who this is. They don't take that cue. 0:14:34.005 --> 0:14:36.125 You then realize I'm in for ten or fifteen minutes 0:14:36.525 --> 0:14:39.925 of dry, hard talk here about Marie and Pete and 0:14:39.925 --> 0:14:42.045 what's going on. I'm like, I've never met them. Actually 0:14:42.285 --> 0:14:43.565 that doesn't matter, you know, it doesn't matter. 0:14:43.605 --> 0:14:44.085 You're getting the. 0:14:45.565 --> 0:14:47.565 And I was like, good lord. And then suddenly I 0:14:47.605 --> 0:14:49.805 just went, oh my god, what is everything? I went, 0:14:49.805 --> 0:14:51.405 just Withers, you were twenty two when you had me. 0:14:51.685 --> 0:14:54.285 And then she actually she got defensive. You know, they 0:14:54.285 --> 0:14:57.325 get cranky real quick. She went, ess, you really should 0:14:57.325 --> 0:15:01.445 be praying around and stuff like that. One a documentary maker, 0:15:01.885 --> 0:15:06.245 inform your son, cranky old newly seventy five year old 0:15:06.285 --> 0:15:13.085 you right around in the I'm hanging up right now. 0:15:13.325 --> 0:15:16.645 If I knew how to hang this video done?

We catch up right. 0:15:25.125 --> 0:15:28.245 It's been going for years. She still doesn't use that 0:15:28.245 --> 0:15:32.604 flipping and she go, I can't hear you hear you. 0:15:32.685 --> 0:15:36.725 Can you turn up your end every time? I can 0:15:36.765 --> 0:15:39.925 only turn my volume up to hear me. How why 0:15:39.965 --> 0:15:43.165 would someone remote, indeed the other side of the world 0:15:43.285 --> 0:15:47.165 pop mucking around with you with your volume? And then 0:15:47.205 --> 0:15:50.885 it's like, mom again, the screen is a beautiful head 0:15:50.925 --> 0:15:54.525 you've got. How about we see the whole face get 0:15:54.565 --> 0:15:57.845 lower down? Seven years I have been living here, there's 0:15:58.085 --> 0:16:01.765 hundreds of these moments. There's no learning anymore. Have you 0:16:01.805 --> 0:16:03.805 been taking your cod liveryal capsules? 0:16:03.925 --> 0:16:04.925 It's their kryptonite. 0:16:04.965 --> 0:16:09.245 Oh my word. Then she goes, I'm struggling to hear you. 0:16:09.285 --> 0:16:10.965 Can you tell me I when not? We can't keep 0:16:11.005 --> 0:16:14.245 doing this. She went, have you plugged your speakers? I 0:16:14.245 --> 0:16:18.245 don't have you trouble had separate little speakers and computers. 0:16:18.285 --> 0:16:20.325 They'll just built in and there's a hot way to 0:16:20.365 --> 0:16:23.085 start the call because I'm already I'm already know and 0:16:23.165 --> 0:16:25.325 that will be us. That's the other thing. Well that's 0:16:25.565 --> 0:16:29.125 worried about that in ten or fifteen years, twenty years, 0:16:29.125 --> 0:16:31.805 it's a holiday. Yeah, and they'll be trying to turn 0:16:31.845 --> 0:16:34.565 it off as I materializing in their homes. I'm trying 0:16:34.565 --> 0:16:39.244 to come through accept for my material matter. Dad you're 0:16:39.325 --> 0:16:43.965 you're you're rematerializing in the front room. I'm stuck in 0:16:44.005 --> 0:16:46.525 the matrix, all right. So we're trying to make the 0:16:46.605 --> 0:16:49.765 ladder of confusion. What are we go going at the 0:16:49.765 --> 0:16:51.765 moment from the most mild state of confusion. 0:16:51.805 --> 0:16:54.245 Rio in a tizzy as in she got herself in 0:16:54.285 --> 0:16:57.285 a tizzy over what shoes to wear to brunch. Befuddled 0:16:57.325 --> 0:16:59.885 as in the wine less tasting left me more befuddled 0:16:59.925 --> 0:17:00.645 than educated. 0:17:00.725 --> 0:17:04.484 I'm liking the real time examples, as in with these peas, 0:17:04.765 --> 0:17:05.565 keep it going. 0:17:05.325 --> 0:17:07.485 Now if these we're thin because they take a long time, 0:17:07.605 --> 0:17:11.004 please just mention it at six and seven. Since the 0:17:11.045 --> 0:17:14.005 office move, everyone's been at sixes and sevens trying to 0:17:14.045 --> 0:17:14.965 find a new printer. 0:17:15.125 --> 0:17:18.325 You're right, I haven't heard that phrase ages six and sevens. 0:17:19.005 --> 0:17:21.365 Nickers in a not don't get nickers in a twist. 0:17:21.405 --> 0:17:24.005 There's always nickers are on a test, aren't they in it? 0:17:24.005 --> 0:17:26.805 It's not in Australia, but we'll go with twists. 0:17:26.365 --> 0:17:29.805 Twisted in it's the English language, so if you're using it, 0:17:29.845 --> 0:17:30.365 get it right. 0:17:32.085 --> 0:17:34.085 Don't get your knickers in a twist. It's just a 0:17:34.125 --> 0:17:34.725 board game. 0:17:35.605 --> 0:17:36.165 Flum mixed. 0:17:36.205 --> 0:17:42.125 I was flummixed by the IKEA instructions, flabbergasted. She was 0:17:42.205 --> 0:17:45.885 flabbergasted when her quiet cat suddenly started playing the piano. 0:17:46.445 --> 0:17:46.885 You let me. 0:17:49.965 --> 0:17:54.325 Discombobulated after three connecting flights and no sleep. I felt 0:17:54.365 --> 0:17:56.365 totally discombobulated walking through. 0:17:56.445 --> 0:17:59.125 These were likely three drinks on the plane while you 0:17:59.125 --> 0:18:01.445 were discombobulated. 0:18:01.405 --> 0:18:04.965 And finally, right at the tippy top, bamboozled. I was 0:18:05.045 --> 0:18:08.205 completely bamboozled when the magician pulled a rabbit out of 0:18:08.205 --> 0:18:09.165 my hat. 0:18:09.725 --> 0:18:11.525 Christian. I made up a new word a few weeks 0:18:11.645 --> 0:18:14.365 years ago, which is a mixture of gobsmacked, which we've 0:18:14.405 --> 0:18:20.445 completely missed, gobsmacked and boggled. I've come out with bog smaggled, 0:18:22.045 --> 0:18:25.845 Pam in shurnside part. That is not a great work, 0:18:26.805 --> 0:18:30.445 like a cart reger you'd see up in Queensland, bog 0:18:30.525 --> 0:18:35.885 smaggled or some new bopp It rival board game. Christian 0:18:35.925 --> 0:18:40.165 I and what about stumped? I found myself stumped mid 0:18:40.205 --> 0:18:42.725 table that one from that lee. I think this should 0:18:42.725 --> 0:18:46.885 be high up perplexed, perplexed one. Yeah, that's very good 0:18:46.885 --> 0:18:49.725 word and Rachel gobsmacked second on the list, second from 0:18:49.725 --> 0:18:52.805 the top.

Christian, 0:19:49.525 --> 0:19:54.805
