Speaker 1: point three.
Speaker 2: Interesting article yesterday about how to survive those long Christmas
Speaker 2: road trips you'll be going on in a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks time over Christmas. Maybe go and see your relatives
Speaker 2: out in the country. And of course, so Christmas trip
Speaker 2: for me, A long road trip for me in the
Speaker 2: UK used to be two hours. You could pretty much
Speaker 2: get anywhere in the UK within two hours two hours
Speaker 2: right now in Melbourne that's just getting across Punt Road.
Speaker 2: So you go a lot longer on a road trip
Speaker 2: in Australia. I still can't believe. I suppose some friends
Speaker 2: of mine that drove to Sydney the other day. I
Speaker 2: can't believe that people will actually drive to Sydney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've done the Sydney road trip a couple of times.
Speaker 2: Is it worth doing? Is it something? I mean we did.
Speaker 3: You can choose two way. Isn't like the Hume Highway,
Speaker 3: which takes you straight up the middle and not very scenic,
Speaker 3: but it's some cool little towns. Or you can go
Speaker 3: along the coast and there's some really good four areas
Speaker 3: along the coast.
Speaker 2: Right Yeah, thinking about doing it over Christmas, actually going
Speaker 2: the long way there. But you see, when you go
Speaker 2: on a long road trip, you certainly realize, no matter
Speaker 2: how you might love your partner, whether you do it,
Speaker 2: they were just your partner or your kids, you haven't
Speaker 2: spent that much time together in a contained room. Normally
Speaker 2: you can go and do something else. Is you're trapped?
Speaker 2: Did I accidentally stay there? I mean trapped? Trapped? What
Speaker 2: a pleasure to be with someone in a small room.
Speaker 2: Not trapped? Why would I say trapped? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I have therapy, Okay, but anyway, I did say trapped.
Speaker 2: Let's cover it. You are? You trapped with somebody else?
Speaker 2: And then suddenly those irritations, those petty irritations that you
Speaker 2: have there, they are It's like a pan, isn't it
Speaker 2: with a lid on it? On the oven? It just simmers.
Speaker 2: And so this was six It was six tips about
Speaker 2: how to survive a long road trip and is common
Speaker 2: sense about taking it in turns to pick the music
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, taking regular road trips, playing games.
Speaker 2: And I don't about you guys on long road trips
Speaker 2: to your parents, what car games did you love to play?
Speaker 3: Oh, Icepy was the I mean, I think we only
Speaker 3: ever played ice Spy.
Speaker 2: You never played The Joys of Yellow Car, very complicated game.
Speaker 2: Soon as you get a pair, okay, everyone in the
Speaker 2: car is looking out for a yellow car. First person
Speaker 2: see a yellow car has to yell out yellow car.
Speaker 2: You then keep a tally who's seen the most yellow cars?
Speaker 2: That's the winner. The joy you have because what happens.
Speaker 2: It be quiet for a while, right, and you can't help.
Speaker 2: Some people start to day during the MC not off
Speaker 2: and then suddenly I always make sure I yell it
Speaker 2: really loud because there'd be a while we don't see
Speaker 2: yellow car five minutes that the kids will start to
Speaker 2: not off and against you can't just go. It's joy,
Speaker 2: the joy you're playing yellow car. Have you played any
Speaker 2: games involving the number plates? You've never done that. No anagrams.
Speaker 2: It's from the number plates, kids, to increase your word power.
Speaker 2: Now we do like words from the number plates or
Speaker 2: cricket number plate as well, where you wed up the numbers.
Speaker 2: Whoever can see pick the car?
Speaker 3: The voluntarily played a maths game.
Speaker 2: Well, I have to be made to by my wife
Speaker 2: that one I prefer. Perhaps do you do you played
Speaker 2: anyone other than I spy.
Speaker 4: It was always a nightmare because I had two older
Speaker 4: brothers who used to give me Chinese burns in the
Speaker 4: back seat. But we you used to have to guess
Speaker 4: what model the next car was going to be, whether
Speaker 4: it's going to be like a Ford or a Holding
Speaker 4: or a Mitsubishi, and we'd keep it telling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what we used to do because we
Speaker 2: didn't have phones. Nowadays you can watch it. I watch
Speaker 2: the Irishman five hour epic movie on your phone, hundred
Speaker 2: different TV shows on Netflix or whatever you're streaming on
Speaker 2: these days. And who does the driving on a long
Speaker 2: road trip with it be you or your wife? I
Speaker 2: let my wife do because really, when I drive, she
Speaker 2: is the world's worst backseat driver. Even in taxis, She's
Speaker 2: sat up front with the driver going please slow down here,
Speaker 2: and I amn't doing a legal thing. And so just
Speaker 2: a couple years ago, I realized we're gonna get divorced
Speaker 2: like this, Just drive, Just drive. I don't care. I
Speaker 2: just can't be bothered with it. Who does it between
Speaker 2: you and Bianca?
Speaker 3: When we went to Sydney on that last road trip,
Speaker 3: actually had a sore back.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I might start using that as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love with the passager second life alas why
Speaker 3: she did most of the driving, and then I could
Speaker 3: do a few twenty minutes stints.

Speaker 2: road trip over Christmas. Great car games that we haven't

Speaker 2: at stranger and when all three of us will wave
Speaker 2: and if they don't wave back, then because what happens
