But I've got girlfriends who's 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.440 say the same, and they end up having the conversations 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.200 with the dads of their sons saying, you know why, 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.640 and then they accuse us of being too soft on them. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.760 I think I've overheard this exact argument between my parents. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.400 Yeah, you would have, you would have? You would have? 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.160 You'd hear the same thing in our house. I not 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.319 that we argue, Betty, but we do discuss things sometimes 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.040 in a very animated, vocal and loud. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.719 Manner, don't we all?

He's a businessman. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.079 So I'm thinking, no, they don't clash like most elder 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:52.920 sons and fathers. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.239 If he's sending you fucking inspirational quote. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.920 No, it's not the same. Well this is from yesterday. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.840 Slowing down and or stillness may feel unsafe and uncomfortable 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.360 for you if you're used to chaos or living under 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.280 constant stress, because your nervous system is used to being 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.240 in survival mode. And he said, saw this resonated with me. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.960 Hope it resonates with you. Love you endlessly, dad, Oh 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.839 I love Yeah, that is very divine. No, but I 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.000 was as smack silly as a kid. So maybe you 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.480 got it out of his system as when I was 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:24.000 an infant. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:28.600 Yeah, right, did he have it? Did he have a change? Shit? 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:29.120 He yeah? 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.599 He Oh yeah, he had a change. There was a 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:31.240 pivotal But. 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.160 What brought about his change. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.320 Once he he got it? Turned fifty, turned a corner. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:36.480 He was a change man. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.480 Oh really? Oh I love that. God. I love people 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.880 who showed the capacity for change. 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.320 Then I came out. I think he was probably terrified 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:45.079 of hitting a gay man. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.040 He didn't do that. So he's like, oh I might, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:47.880 Well that's it. 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.160 Yeah, no, Yah, don't be puffed to bash up. 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.079 That's exactly right. 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.480 Now I've said that, Baylor. Anyway, the book is available now. 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.760 You can get it. You can buy it at all 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.400 good booksellers and of course online you can get on 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.040 audio books, which Mitch is enjoying. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.959 Yes, I am loving it. We wanted to do with 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.640 UKD whilst you're here. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.880 Mitch, Betty, Oh you're adorable. YouTube. 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.000 Thank We're not done, Kate stay in bed. Oh yes, 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:11.800 well we've got you. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.120 Because you have experienced Australia and Italy and what they've 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:15.959 both got to offer. 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.080 We want to do a quick round of who does 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:18.559 it better? 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.000 Because I reckon from listening to that book, there's a 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.600 lot of things that Italy shit's on us. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:24.199 With, you know what I mean? 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.760 Oh, I know, and you don't kind of want to 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.200 be that person that goes oh my god initially there 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.520 but yet I am that person. But there are some 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.959 things that Australia does magnificently. For instance, this morning when 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.320 I was in the stupamarket and the lady was packing 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.679 my bags for me, that doesn't happen in Italy. In 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.760 Italy you have to pack. It's like every store is 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.559 fucking Aldie and you are trying it. Yeah, yeah, no, 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.360 I'm not going for that. Little things like that getting 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:59.560 out rubbish collected. Oh, my goodness, that doesn't happen initially, Really, 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.400 where do you well, because we lived in a medieval city, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.840 you know, and there's a lot of medieval cities in Italy. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.200 So we had to go to the rubbish bin, which 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.280 was these central bins in the in the city. But 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.880 because it was Italy and things are a bit scattered, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.040 the organico is in one place, the plastico is two 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.199 blocks away, So and you've got five different kinds of rubbish. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.199 I'd rather be dead than have to deal with that. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.320 That's no good. Chuck me plastic hit it with some 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:32.880 other Okay. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.360 So we've got a few things to get through. Number 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.520 one is traffic. Who does it better Australia or Italy? 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.679 Italy because you're allowed to speed? 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:41.320 Oh yeah, of course. 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.760 Wasn't your husband a little bit frightened to try and 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:44.840 keep up with their speed? 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:45.480 Why is that? 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.880 Well, because on the freeway, very rare that you saw 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:53.240 a speeding sign, like a speed limit sign on the freeway, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.800 So we really didn't know, but we would often get 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.160 overtaken by a Nona going one hundred and sixty kilometers 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.160 an hour in a little feet yeah, and so we 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.720 would ask our friends and then they would say things like, hey, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.200 well you know the speed a limit it's one twenty 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.360 kilometers an hour. But if it's a two lane a freeway, 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.920 you can go one forty and if it's three lanes 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.840 a plus you can go one one forty plus whatever 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.960 you like. Shit, So how is that an answer? 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.800 Yeah, that sounds like it's open to interpretation. Australia would 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.800 slappy with family fines if you just kind of no, 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:29.440 we're good. 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.920 Do you know what the freedom initialy the freedom to 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.520 ride your bike without a helmet, the freedom to have 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.880 a cigarette with a glass of wine out the front 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:44.280 of a restaurant, the freedom to speed, just the freedom 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.840 to take your dog with you anywhere into shop, the 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:51.480 dogs welcome anywhere, Like just those little freedoms mean a 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.000 lot in your life, Like they're very nourishing. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.760 Yeah, I've never known a time where those things are freedoms. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.800 Like if I ever had a fucking dart with my 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:00.760 rose in a restaurant, I would think I'm going to 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.120 get tackled by someone like that. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.640 I would just never Yeah, all right, what's the next one? 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:11.400 Who does it better? Radio Italians or Australians one hundred 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.040 percent Australia. Great, Ye'll take it. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:20.080 Sorry, your current show accepted out no no, all of 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.800 Italian pop music and their radio sounds like it's nineteen 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:31.920 eighty four. Really also WSFM, it's just very uh there. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.760 And when our producer Sash was over there trying to 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.720 find somewhere for me to broadcast back to Australia from, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.040 she just couldn't get over how antiquated all the radio 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.240 stations were. She went and looked at about seven in 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.800 Bologna and she said they were just it was. It 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.920 was honestly like nineteen ninety two. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.280 Yeah, go on, I bet I bet they can smoke 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.000 inside there too. You could do that back in the 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.400 day in radio studios, couldn't you. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:01.120 I remember when I lived with my girlfriend Mish, and 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:06.440 she had a terrible break up and she comforted herself 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.080 by playing What's that game with that gorgeous little that 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.360 video game with the Emmy's gorgeous guy and he has 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.000 to lassue the horse and. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:19.840 I have no idea, Yeah, Zelda the Elder Zelda. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:25.880 Anyway, my girlfriend played Zelda seriously for six months on repeat, 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:31.520 and chain smoked inside. And because she was so heartbroken, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.200 I learned to play Zelda just to keep her company. 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.600 But I did have to say, after about six months, 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.920 do you reckon? Do you reckon that you might enjoy 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.640 your cigarette, Maria, because the whole house, it was a 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.480 two story house. The whole house just reaked of cigarette. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.000 Have your darry al Fresco miss much nicer out there? 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:54.240 Has she bounced back? 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.720 Yeah, she's totally bounced back. 0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.680 A couple more, A couple more. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.160 With that, you'd say, that's Mick saying I've given such long, 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.880 elaborate and probably tedious answers. What number are we actually 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.520 going to do? Mitch? How many are going to give me? 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.440 Do you know what? We're on a podcast. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.040 There are actually no rules about how long the answers are, 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.920 how long we chat for. It's really just a question 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.640 of how many you want to do, Kate. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.160 Mitchd's got some rules. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.200 Now I'm thinking of. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.560 You, Kate lane Brook. I know you're a very busy lady. 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.520 You've got succession on Paul's look. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:26.000 At me and beat. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.120 You know it's actually up to you. You tell us 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:30.560 when you no longer give a fuck? 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.320 Yeah? Number three wi fi, Hey guys, I no longer 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:34.920 give a fuck? 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.920 Is it just move? Podcast by a couple of mitches. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.560 Okay, so who does it better? Customer service Australia, Italy. 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.320 We're pretty good Australia. Okay. 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.560 I feel like you mentioned in the book. I might 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.240 be paraphrasing, but I think you said at one point 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.320 you were a little bit overwhelmed because they're quite aggressive. 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.960 They're almost like what you want to shop here? 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.000 They're not necessarily I found that women in their shops 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.320 they were always They've got a strange manner. It's strange 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:08.240 to me because I was a stranger, you know. Yeah, 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.320 but things like one of my Italian friends was saying, 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.080 the reason they put everything in the shop window in 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.240 Italy or Vologna is so that when you come in 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.399 you know what you're looking for. So it's not like 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.879 I've just come into brows, all right, but whereas I 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.360 would go in not knowing what I wanted, and they 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:27.679 thought that was really weird. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.439 All right, more, have you got somewhere to be? 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.000 I'm just conscious that Kate has a half eaten back 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:34.960 of Sultan vinegars. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.800 He's really gone off me. No, they're finished. The Sultan 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.080 vinegars are finish. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:42.719 Fucking carry on. 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.680 Well, the next one you waiting for the indigestion. Well, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.360 the next one is possibly the most important. Who does 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.080 it better when it comes to men, Australia or Italy? 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.800 Who has the finer gentleman? 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.600 It's very hard question to answer, and I'll tell you why. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.800 I obviously have a massive soft spot for Australian men. 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.760 I love a smart, working class guy. I love the 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.199 Australians do that better than anyone, like, you know, just 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:20.000 a funny trade or whatever. You know, We're just very 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:26.800 good at that. But Italian men pay women such attention 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.800 that it is and whereas Australian men have been stolen 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.480 from us by pornography, they don't care about real women 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.440 anymore in Australia. Yeah, they don't care about real women. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.160 But Italian guys do you reckon? 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:44.919
