<v Speaker 3>I want to know if you had it's one thing

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 3>to mix. Remember the cordial drinks. We had a soda stream,

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 3>so mum would go, you don't need to go out

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 3>to the milk. We get a can of coke or

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 3>can of pop or anything. You can make it at

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.919

<v Speaker 3>with like carbonated water and then hey, presto, you've got

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 3>your own Dr Pepper right here. Why don't you invite

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.880

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 3>will come around for some weekounts Dr Pepper. So it's

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 3>morning on nine four one four one four three. We're

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 3>the confused stories about having a cheap O parent rio.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.760
<v Speaker 4>My dad is the king of the chief O parents.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 4>Back home, we used to have a pool, like a

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 4>completely full, normal backyard pool. Since all the kids have

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 4>moved out, he got lazy with it and it's just

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.559
<v Speaker 4>become empty, completely dry pool. He then got a letter

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 4>maybe at that last year from the council saying we

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>need to come over and do a routine pool gate inspection.

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 4>It's going to come, of course, yeah, to make sure

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, obviously, like for safety reasons one hundred and

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 4>fifty dollars, but you have it's mandatory. And Dad's like, well,

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 4>there's no water in the pool. So he calls up

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 4>the council and says, don't buy the coming over. I'm

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 4>not paying one hundred and fifty dollars, like the pool's

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 4>completely empty, and she said, well, if you're not using

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 4>the pool for anything else, even if it's empty, we

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 4>still have to come and inspect it you're kidd it,

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 4>and that goes we are, and we're not. She's oh,

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 4>what are you using it for? And then just off

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 4>the top of his head, he goes, oh, it's a

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 4>it's a rock garden. Now, he's like a rock garden.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 4>It's like, so if we came over and just just

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.919
<v Speaker 4>checked it, it was a rock garden and you wouldn't have

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.399
<v Speaker 4>to pay the one hundred fifty dollars. He goes, yeah,

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 4>that's fine, come over. So he then spent the next

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 4>like probably ten days scouring, collecting, collecting rocks and just

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>literally like going down to the tip, Like we live

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 4>near a beach. He was pulling back these He's seventy seven.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 4>What's he going to find at the tip?

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>People who've thrown their rocks away.

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 4>He's got discarded pool like blocks, like tiles that he's

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 4>just like chucked in the bottom of the pool.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Now it just sounds like he's.

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Got It's honest, Mum hates it so ugly. So now

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 4>in our pool where it's just like a nice empty

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 4>pool before, now it's just full of random junk rocks

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.960
<v Speaker 4>and stuff. And it took him so long.

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Basically he's got a skip there skip and everyone just.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Like it's free for all. It's a pilo.

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just hard rubbish, just so he wouldn't have

0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 4>to pay one hundred and fifty dollars at the council.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.560

<v Speaker 3>How that stuff is so hard to use? It just

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 3>sort of like a spider's web. It just sort of

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>collapses in on itself.

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it can be, but we used to have to

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 5>once we took our sandwich out, we'd have to fold

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.480

<v Speaker 3>it's already sticking to it, even just getting out of

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 3>that really aggressive box that it comes in with that

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 3>overly serrated edge, which is like sharper than anything in

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 3>the world, isn't it. It's so dangerous. I get I get

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.840
