WEBVTT - MINI: Should you use the GOOD towels? 🚿

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>So I went home to Port Macquarie, to my hometown

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>on the weekend. Mitchell, Laura, I had to do some

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>error and see the family pick up my dog.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 2>It was a whole thing.

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't been back to my parents' house for

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.400
<v Speaker 1>a little while, and this one thing happened that sort

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>of stopped me in my tracks and made me reconsider

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>everything I know about life.

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow, deep big.

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's just me and my mom and my dad

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and everyone's pottering around the house, and I was going

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>for a shower, so I opened the linen press, get

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>a towel and the towels. Mind you, my mum is

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the most organized person you've ever seen. Everything is color coordinated,

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>there's different levels, they're folded immaculately.

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 2>That's classic. My mom's the same waves yours would be

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>right the same as well.

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 3>My mom just shoves things in a couple of hopes

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 3>for the best.

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Really, Laura's mom not so much.

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>So I grab a towel going to the shower, put

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>my towel down in there, going about my business. Obviously,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm Starker is having a great time washing all the bits.

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>And then the door slides open with such aggression that

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm so shocked. And I turn around naked in the

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>shower and I look, my mom is standing their hand

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>on her hips.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that it's gone past the days when

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 3>mum's just like barging on you in the shower. You're like, mum,

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 3>and she made you know.

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care about her looking at me naked, could

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>not care less. She didn't care either. She was just

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>looking me straight in the eye. And I was like, yes, mum.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, I heard you go to the linen

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>breast and I was like, yeah, I'm being a tower.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm having shower on a towel. She goes, what towel

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>did you get? She goes to where I've hung them

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>up and she's just like oh, and I said what

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>she said, this is the good towel. She's like, you

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>can't use these, and I was like, excuse me, how

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>dare you? She took the towel from me, went out,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>folded her back up, put it in the cupboard, and

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>got me this like scabby old towel.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, the towels that have been sun dried and

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 3>they're all crunchy little holes in them.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So I was so shocked, and also soaking wet, so

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I got out used the scabby towel. Then I came

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>out to address the situation and I was like, Mum,

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what's the problem. She goes, that's the good towel. You

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>don't use that, and I said, I'm sorry. Is Beyonce coming?

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Who are you saving the good towel for? She's like, well,

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't be sure, but I know that this isn't

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the moment, and I'm like, what your daughter? We had

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a full on brawl about who can use what towels.

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>She's got them ready just in case You're like, Mum,

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 3>I am kind of a celebrity.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let me use What do I need to do

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to prove myself? So then fast forward to that evening.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I go to get a cup of tea and now

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>she's got these really beautiful, thin, fine teacups, the good mugs,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the good mugs. So I'm using one of these this

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>good china. She has a goal of me again, takes

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>it from my hand, empties it, put it back, gives

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 1>me another cup because you're not allowed to use the

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote and I'm like, what am I allowed.

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>To use it?

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>When are people like are your parents doing this Kate. Hello,

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 2>what's what's your good thing in your house?

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 4>Hi? Yeah, I've got some beautiful wine glasses that my

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 4>daughter gave me for Christmas one year, and I used

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 4>to be very relaxed. You've got good things, you should

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 4>use them. But unfortunately one evening I was sitting on

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 4>the lounge and the cat sprang up behind me, jumped

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 4>on the coffee table, knocked it off and shattered one

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 4>of them. Yeah. So now now I've got the rule.

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 4>They only come out of Christmas time.

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>But you see, it means you never get to use

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 2>the good stuff.

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It isn't Christmas more likely when you're going to have

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a spill or an accident, Like, shouldn't you be just

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>bringing them out with you and the lover or husband whoever?

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 3>Do you know?

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>No, don't want to make any assumptions there, But shouldn't

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>you be using it for that kind of stuff?

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.919
<v Speaker 4>But you know, if it gets trashed in the process

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 4>of being enjoyed, I don't mind so much. But if

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 4>it's just me home alone with a cat, not so much.

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>It's grim I'm alone with the cat, don't think all right? Monica? Hi,

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 2>what's your good thing?

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 4>I reckon.

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 1>It's totally the opposite.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 4>Use them.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you, Monica. I think use the good stuff

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 3>because you know what, like what happens, like you could

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>end up breaking it with the cat and then it

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 3>just all goes to waste exactly.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 4>Now, use it because you might lose it, right?

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Can I just say those two different calls, they both

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>sound like one keeps good things and one doesn't. Monica's like, yeah,

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you know what. I'm driving to the car as I

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>call you girls, and my hand are off the steering.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>The wine glasses just just smashed. And the other call

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 2>goes you so I've got good things I need with

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>my cat. Come on, there's two very different kinds of people.

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 2>That's why we want here at the pickup. We ran

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>a diverse align with Monica, and she's my people. I'm

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.560
