1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: When you sleep? Do you sleep with your feet out

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: or in the donner in?

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: For sure?

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Really doesn't it feel weird on your toes?

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: What do you mean? I don't know. Maybe it's just

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: a sensory thing for me.

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 3: Like occasionally, if I'm too hot, I'll go just like

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: one foot out.

9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: One foot out is elite level sleeping question for you? Yes,

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: stomach or back? I can't sleep with my stomach. Can't

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: do it?

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Love it?

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: What do I do if I get in the direction

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: you start levitating?

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: Welcome back to two doting dads. I'm Mattie Jay and

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm Ash. This is a podcast all about parenting. It

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: is the good, it is the bad, emphasize the bad,

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: and it's also the relatable.

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: It is the relatable.

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: And if you've come for advice, this is not the

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: podcast for you. And Maddy Jay usually says that line,

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: but today I thought I would say it.

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: Change it up a little bit. People like what's going

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 2: on here?

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: And before we do get started, we always love to

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: crack a nice drop, and today's drop is the NRB,

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: which is the Northern Rivers Beer.

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: So quick one here we go.

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Oh no no no, no no no no, very good,

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: very good.

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: What's it cold? Ash? I'm going to put you on

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: the spot here. What's it called?

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: When you abbreviate words to just the first letter? I

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: feel like I'm asking the wrong guy.

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: You are definitely asking the wrong guy. Do you know

36
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: what I love? Ash? Me an acronym, yes, an nrb.

37
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Oh.

38
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: It just rolls up the Northern Rivers beer.

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: And this is Stone and Wood's greenest beer, Matt us

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: what that means.

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: For those playing at home, It means they use over

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: seventy percent certified sustainable mold and one hundred percent certified

43
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: sustainable hops.

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: But what is certified sustainable now?

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: So it means that the farmers who supply the molten

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 3: grains to Stone and Wood they are held to a

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: highest standard, the highest standard.

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: In the land. Ad Oh, I love to hear that.

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: So like using less water, looking after the soil that

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: the plants are grown in, and using less energy overall.

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Oh, that sounds great now, Matt.

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: This isn't a limited edition, but it is limited in location,

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: so that's what makes it unique. You can only buy

54
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: it in person in between Tweed and Yamber.

55
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: However, if you purchase.

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Your beer online, you can get it anywhere. In the

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: country and they'll deliver it straight to your door.

58
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: There is one more way you can get a case

59

Speaker 2: of the nib as. There is tell us how that is, Matt.

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: That's by winning one from us.

Speaker 3: You can throw up a story on your Instagram listening

Speaker 3: to two doting dads tag us tag Stone and Wood

63

64
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: deliver it to your front door. Absolutely, and as always

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280

Speaker 1: Making this episode possible. Matt, we're back here, we are,

67
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: We're back another week. They feel like they're all blending

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: into one as.

69
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: I'm going to pretend to be in a good mood today.

70
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: You do that, going to pretend, you pretend away in

71
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: a great move. I've just got a couple of little

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: updates for you from my end that I just want

73
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: to just get out of the way.

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: This morning.

75
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: We have been talking about a big event coming up,

76
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: huge big event, which is my son's first ever birthday.

77
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: But he's five, it's not his first birthday for those

78
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: just tuning in.

79
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, last week you mentioned you threw out the manly stickers.

80
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: I did made a critical mistake of April ordered these

81
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: custom stickers for the I keep going to call them showbags,

82
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: but this is not the us to show that I'm

83
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: throwing at the very minor party.

84
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: It could be, it could be, And she had.

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: These custom stickers ordered, and I think I accidentally threw

86
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: out and I was not mad enough. I was a coward, Matt.

87
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I was a coward, and I did not tell her

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: in person. I let her listen to last week's episode.

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: How did she react?

90
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: She didn't talk to me for a little while because

91
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: she had so far and wired to get the right

92
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: size stickers.

93
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: Well, I always say, ash, don't come to me with problems,

94
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: come to me with solutions.

95
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: And I do have a solution. What is it.

96
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: I have reordered the stickers without her knowing, And so

97
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: when she found out that I had done this, I said,

98
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: but it's okay. I've got new ones on the way.

99
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: So she's like, so you've wasted all this money as

100
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: well and my time.

101
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: Can I ask you at this point, are you regretting

102
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: committing to a birthday party?

103
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, yeah, but he's very excited.

104
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: The best thing about throwing your child at birthday party

105
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: is the threat of being able to cancel it if

106
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: he's misbehaving. Are you using that through Oh, I'm using

107
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: it hard, hard.

108
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: Out getting the bath, no right, birthday party, cancel, no

109
00:04:58,839 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: straight at the bart.

110
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: I think my initial response is you can't do that.

111
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: That's quite mean. But I'm pretty sure it's legal. For

112
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: two weeks. Yeah, in the last two or three weeks,

113
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: that was that was like frontline defense for me, the

114
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: kids and behaving.

115
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: I've still canceled Christmas already this year. Where for those

116
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: of you at home listening right now, Matt's chasing a

117
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: cat around that he pretends that he hates, but I

118
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: think he loves that a little bit salty today, and

119
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: we'll try and get through it.

120
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: We'll just nurse him through it. Here he comes, deep breath.

121
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: There's a chance, there's a small chance I may not

122
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: be able to attend the birthday.

123
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: Well, wha, wha, wha, whoa, whoa, whoa wah.

124
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: Something's come up, something's come up more important. Look, what's

125
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: more important? Look, I won't go into detail. We don't

126
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: have time for that. Yes we do. We'll take this offline. No, no, no,

127
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: we won't, and we won't. I want everyone listening to

128
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: know why we have a clash of dates. Okay, a

129
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: clash of dates. Clash of dates. The diaries are normally

130
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: checked thoroughly before committing to any type of activity.

131
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you better cancel that other activity.

132
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: There was a mistake that was made by whom by myself.

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: I acknowledge this mistake. I'm currently in the process of

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: trying to fix it.

135
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: So just you just said to me, yes, don't come

136
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: to me with problems, come to me with solutions.

137
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. And so you come to me now

138
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: with a problem and no solutions. You sound like April.

139
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: What what's the solution? What are the options?

140
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: The options are Laura and I may split, okay, not permanently,

141
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: just for the weekend, Yes, just for.

142
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: The weekend, just for one afternoon.

143
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe a case that I attend with my mum,

144
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: which and no kids that would be weird. Just leave

145
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: it with me, Leave it with me. I just wanted

146
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: to put it on your right angry. I'm not angry,

147
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: I just disappointed. I'm just okay. I'm working on it. Also,

148
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: not to come with more shit news. I haven't heard

149
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: back from mainly regarding the mascot who we want to

150
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: attend the event.

151
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: This is the biggest shit sandwich.

152
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: Can I just defend myself for one second in that

153
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: this morning?

154
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of pent up anger. Yeah, but you're

155
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: taking it out on me and I don't like it.

156
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: Because I just got the news ash this house is leaking,

157
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: the mansion, it's leaking. Everything is leaking right now. The

158
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: front window is leaking. So we just we just found

159
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: out on the weekend, gone pouring down with the rain,

160
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: people calling it them monsoon.

161
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: I would like to.

162
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Say that you can't control the rain, and I'll forgive

163
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: you for that.

164
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: And whilst it was raining through the light, water was

165
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: pouring in.

166
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: It's dangerous because of electricity too, well, said electrical stream.

167
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: So we had we had this internal waterfall. We had

168
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: someone come and look at the house and it's the

169
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: house has been built badly.

170
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: And you'd be a very good way to put it.

171
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: Before we started recording, the builder walked out and I

172
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: was like, what's the news?

173
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: I did hear? And what did he say? You don't

174
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: want to hear it right now? Chat about it later, yes.

175
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: And then and then to top it all off, I've

176
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: got this cat who I love, dearly, beautiful cat, beautiful,

177
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,360

Speaker 1: It's just it's just it's always there. It's it's a

179
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: bit march, sometimes a bit much. It's a bit of

180
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: a It doesn't understand it's a kitten. It's a kitten,

181
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: so it's very playful. It's never not hungry, doesn't can't

182
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: read the room. It can't read the room. It doesn't

183
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: understand when it's not welcomed, and just I'll feed it.

184
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: Split second later, the kids will be having their dinner.

185
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: I turn around, I look back, and the cat's just

186
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: down table, like eating the kid's food.

187
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,480

Speaker 2: I'm not going.

197
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,400

218
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: I went fast. That went way too fast for my liking.

219
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: I do want to ask you. I know you got scammed.

220
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: I did a number of times you've been taking advantage

221
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: of well.

222
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 2: Let me put it this way.

223
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: In the first forty eight hours, I was scammed just

224
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: over twelve hundred dollars.

225
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what did you do? Dodgy strip Clay?

226
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy. That was escort.

227
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: The embarrassing thing was that the scamming started before I

228
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 4: even left the country.

229
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: Let's start with the first scare.

230
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: All right, going to Singapore. Was told that I had

231
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: to get a transit visa. Best to get the transit

232
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: visa before you leave the country. Sure, okay, So I'm

233
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: in the departure lounge. I google Singapore a transit visa,

234
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: a transit because I wasn't there overnight, it was just

235
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: going in and.

236
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 2: Out the airport.

237
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I googled, got onto the Singapore Transit site, filled

238
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: it all in, and then this payment slip just popped up,

239
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: and I thought, oh, there's a charge. So I filled

240
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: all that in and then it went back onto the site.

241
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 4: I completed the visa, got my visa, everything's fine, and

242
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 4: then there was no amount shown on the payment slip.

243
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: So I checked my credit card and I have an

244
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: amount of one hundred and ninety two dollars for the visa,

245
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: and I think that's a bit steep, so I questioned

246
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: it and someone said, no, sing poor visas are free.

247
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: You've been scammed.

248
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 4: They've they've somehow superimposed this payment slip. So then I

249
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 4: contact my credit card company, thinking it's just a one

250
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: off scam and.

251
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: You haven't left the country yet, and I have.

252
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: Not left the country yet. I disputed the amount, but

253
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: I didn't cancel my card.

254
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: Oh God, So go along.

255
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 4: And then I arrive in Paris, I know to follow

256
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 4: the signs to the taxi rank and to ignore the

257
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: hustlers who are trying to get nah.

258
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: I know you're going because if anyone who hasn't been

259
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: to Paris or a lot of countries, Paris is particularly

260
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: oh ruthless, it's ruthless.

261
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: I let me to draw you back to a movie

262
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: by the name of Taken in Paris, where she went

263
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: to Paris and she was taken. You weren't taken with you? Well,

264
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: I just say that sounds like what you're saying. It's

265
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: pretty dodgy, dodgy.

266
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 4: But I thought that I was doing all the right thing.

267
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 4: I was ignoring all these people. I know your little game.

268
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: Because they call you.

269
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: And I'm sure, as a seventy three year old woman

270
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 3: with a few bags, how many bags did you have?

271
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: I had two bags, one small, one medium.

272
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: And I'd say it's a large bag. There was a light,

273
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 3: big bag, and you must have welcomed a nice gentleman

274
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: coming over and offering some assistance with your bags.

275
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: It's a long friend.

276
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: I hate to draw the elderly a lone card, but

277
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: when you were of a certain age traveling alone two cases,

278
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: whether you like it or not, there's a target.

279
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: You're a target.

280
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 4: But anyway, but anyway, I thought it was doing okay,

281
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: doors open, pelting down with rain.

282
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, fellow, this fellow was the time of the day.

283
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: Was it got to the actually rank and this gentleman said,

284
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: inspector right, I'm going to try and take this seriously

285
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: now and ignore.

286
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: Is this for me? I was really suffering? Okay, your

287
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: mom was scared. I apologize this point. I wasn't scared.

288
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: And the fellow.

289
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: Said, I'm trying to stick up you here. Mom's like,

290
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: shut up. I was never scared, not once.

291
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: So fifty five euro was mentioned, great and so pouring

292
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: with rain, and this driver said, madam, it's raining. You

293
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: get in the car, I'll deal with the bags and

294
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,239
Speaker 4: I will take the trolley. And I thought to myself,

295
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 4: what a delightful young man.

296
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: That's what he wanted you to think.

297
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: How nice is he? So got in the car, dry

298
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: and As we're driving to the hotel. I look and think, eh,

299
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 4: he does not have a meter. I have got into

300
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: a regular car, not a taxi.

301
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 2: But I stitched that, so my mistake.

302
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: But I think, no, no, no, we agreed on fifty five.

303
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: It'll be okay. Get to the hotel, still pouring with rain.

00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: The rain was fierce that night.

305
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: And he says one hundred and thirty euro, madam.

306
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, my god.

307
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: And I said no, no, no, no extortion. He said

00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: want to get out.

317
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: Of this car.

318
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 3: I think exhausted is a more appropriate word, Elie.

319
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: I think exhausted is a bloody good word.

320
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: Actually.

321
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: And let's not forget you're seventy nine, you're almost eighty.

322
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: It's not like a hundred and two. So what did

323
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: you do. So I paid it.

324
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: Then I go into this hotel, which as soon as

325
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: you're open the door to a hotel and the stench

326
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 4: hits you, and I did body. Oh dear, you know

327
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: I was tired and this hotel, I mean, I should

328
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 4: have realized a hotel called the Terminus. I should have

329
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: realized it wasn't going to be the best. And then

330
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: when I thought it couldn't get any worse, what happened Next?

331
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 4: I checked my credit card and there was eight hundred

332
00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: dollars because when I had filled in the four they

333
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: had your details, they had my details, and Apple pay

334
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: eight hundred dollars.

335
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: They just kept charging it today. Oh so then I

336
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: thought it is true.

337
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: I have to say, boys, I am quite resilient, but

338
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 4: I do remember sitting on this grossy little bed thinking

339
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: I want.

340
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: To go home. I don't want to stay here anymore.

341
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: That is Look. I do feel sorry for me, but

342
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: it's also very funny.

343
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm very proud of you for doing that. Mam.

344
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: I think I forget that seventy three two.

345
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: I'm seventy two years.

346
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: I know lots of other individuals who were hitting seventy

347
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: who were nowhere near as sharp.

348
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: As you.

349
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, and I think you should be commended

350
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 3: on making the trip an adventure if you will by yourself.

351
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: Did you meet any young suitors while you were there French?

352
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: Oh?

353
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 4: Look close to where I was staying, there was a charcouteriie,

354
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 4: which is a place where you can buy.

355
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: Meats and board.

356
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 4: I was going to say, a charcouteriie on Francille is

357
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 4: lots of meats, cooked meats.

358
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: And I used to go and there was this gentleman and.

359
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: It was quite quite weird because I can't in my head,

360
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: I sort of thought, oh, I don't know, he's almost seventy.

361
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: Then I thought I shouldn't be so judgment But anyway,

362
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: it was quite funny.

363
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 4: No, he wasn't.

364
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: But he was a real character.

365
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: And I would come in and he'd make a big

366
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 4: fuss and he would do beautiful meals like Berth Bourgigno.

367
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 4: And then this one day I got I got a

368
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 4: Berth Bourgigno and he's no, no, And he sidled up

369
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: and he said, today.

370
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: I have a very nice coco bet and the back

371
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: of a van coco bet, and I'm going.

372
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: To give you a little bit because I think you

373
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: should try it.

374
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: So I think that was like a youph.

375
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: Miss, you're going to have a little brother, yes, cock,

376
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: And then he scanned me out of the rest of

377
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: my and I came home.

378
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: It was a very tasty cock, his chicken.

379
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: There's nothing better than a French cock. As I always say,

380
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: very good, that's very very good. I'm glad you're back.

381
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: Before you go on your recent trip, can you remember

382
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: any moments that were particularly scary.

383
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: Terrifying if you will, Yeah, other than.

384
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: The cross when I tell you this, because it was

385
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 4: a little bit reckless, so I.

386
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 2: Would never view reckless.

387
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 4: Well I had in Paris. I had to go from

388
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: one station to another station and it was on the

389
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 4: GPS seven minutes walking and I thought, I'm not going

390
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 4: to get a taxi. I'm not going to be scammed again.

391
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: Can I just say there has been an occasion where

392
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 3: Mum went down to the shops to get some food.

393
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: About five hundred meters I lost a straight line straight

394
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: back like maybe an hour later.

395
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: I was like, where are you and she was like,

396
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: I'm in Merobra. Oh my god. Yeah, it is a

397
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 2: bit no no, but I got this. I was following.

398
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: It was all going well.

399
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 4: And then I went off the beaten track.

400
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: And there well because it told me to.

401
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 4: And then suddenly I was faced with this large tunnel and.

402
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: It said it said go through. The tunnel said do

403
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: not enter at your own reason. And it was.

404
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 4: Pretty dark, and I thought, well, okay, it says to

405
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: go and so I went in and everything was fine

406
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 4: until we turned a corner and the whole of the

407
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 4: pavement opened up. And I kid you not, there was

408
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: probably about a hundred what looked like men all camping out.

409
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: It was like it was tense city. Oh my god.

410
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 4: And I just looked at all these men who suddenly

411
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 4: stared at me. I didn't say anything. I just I

412
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 4: just thought, shit, this is not good. Are you sure

413
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 4: Google Maps told you to go there? Yes. I can't

414
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 4: walk on the pavement because it's it's all full of

415
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,959
Speaker 4: tents and sleeping bagstock back on the road. The worst

416
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 4: thing was there was this trickle of water going across

417
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: a stench urine unbelievable and it was not water, it

418
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 4: was urine, and.

419
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 2: Knew it, and I thought, and I may pissed the

420
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: public many times.

421
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 4: And then I saw a chink of light and I thought,

422
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: I'm getting out of here. I put my head down,

423
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: my bum up, and I've never gone.

424
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: Hang on a minute. It's not the position you want

425
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: to be in and what you want to be back

426
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 2: it right up.

427
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: So I pulled my pants down, my teeth, put my

428
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: eyes in the air, and raced for impact.

429
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I wonder it was scary.

430
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 4: Anyway, So I just race out of that as fast

431
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 4: as I could.

432
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: Ellie, thank you for joining us, thank you for coming back,

433
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: thank you for making it back safely. And I appreciate

434
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: all the times that you got scanned because I think

435
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: it's hilarious.

436
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 4: Do you know, I think it's really sad.

437
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going to wrap this up. I love you, Mom,

438
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: thank you. Love. It's nice to be back. I love you.

439
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure the listeners love that, the French, especially Ash.

440
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,719
Speaker 3: We're going to have a bit of a change of

441
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 3: gears right now, and normally we only ever want to

442
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: be fun time people have a laugh.

443
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to scratch more than just the surface.

444
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Man very well said, thank you.

445
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 3: And the reason we're going to change gears and be

446
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: a little bit serious for a second is because it

447
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: is Men's Health Week. Is let's be honest, men are

448
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: a little bit crap when it comes to health, to

449
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: their own health. And I know recently you and your

450
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: family have been dealing with a health incident and it's been,

451
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 3: like I would say, it's it's pretty huge.

452
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, through a big spanner in the work there.

453
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: For a couple of weeks, my dad came down to

454
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: visit my kids and my sister's kids, so his grandkids.

455
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't get to see them that often. They live

456
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: on the Gold Coast, so they came down for a

457
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: few days, which is nice. And he'd been on a

458
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: few trips this year over the last twelve months and

459
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: he managed to pick up like a bit of an

460
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: infection that led to him having to go to hospital

461
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: once he got here with the infection just getting a

462
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: little bit out of hand, but it led to something

463
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: a little bit more serious where he was on an

464
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: IV drip and some antibiotics, had to go to the

465
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: hospital every day. But the problem from that is he

466
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 1: came to visit my kids and he was fine. He

467
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: was recovering from that, which is great, but he did

468
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: mention to us once I was walking.

469
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: Back to the car that he was a little bit

470
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: out of breath.

471
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: And then my mum had also flagged with me over

472
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: the last twelve months that he'd been sort of losing

473
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: breath on minor walks and all sorts of things.

474
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 2: But your dad is very fit. He's a fit guy here,

475
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: serves a lot, walks a lot.

476
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: He's retired, so he spends a lot of the time

477
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: walking up and down the beach all that sort of stuff.

478
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: Active.

479
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: But over the last twelve months, yeah, he was losing

480
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: He sort of would lose breath. And just to take

481
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: you back a little bit for a bit of context,

482
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: when he was forty one years old, he had a

483
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: heart attack and had some stents put into his archery

484
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: and anyway, So after he'd taken that walk to the car,

485
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: he'd gone back to where they were staying in the accommodation.

486
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: I received a call at six am in the morning

487
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: that my dad had been rushed to the ICU. Wow,

488
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: and he hadn't suffered a heart attack. But what happened

489
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: is the fluid from the IV that he had had

490
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: landed sort of gone into his lungs and he couldn't breathe,

491
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: So he was essentially drowning really at his accommodation in

492
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: front of my mum. The ambulance came and he survived. Obviously,

493
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: it turns out that he needed a triple bypass because

494
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: his heart wasn't actually well. That stent he had was

495
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: only working at two percent, so the other arteries had

496
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: to pick up the slack and it just they just

497
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: got to a point after twelve months, months of him

498
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: struggling with shortness of breath and ignoring those signs that

499
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: he just couldn't take it anymore.

500
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: And the doctor said that he was pretty lucky. Though.

501
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: He was really lucky.

502
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: They said if he wasn't as fit as he was,

503
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: or if he was overweight, he would be dead. Essentially,

504
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: he would have had a heart attack. He would have

505
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: died multiple times over the last years. Those archeries were

506
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: actually trying to pick up the slack anyway. So he

507
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: went in to have that triple bypass surgery here in Sydney.

508
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: So a three day trip turned into a six week

509
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: trip where he was stuck here in Sydney.

510
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

511
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of conversations that happened

512
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: between him and going into surgery. He was upbeat up front,

513
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: but I could see that in his eyes he was

514
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: a little bit scared, and he said to me a

515
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: few times. He said, I haven't been well for a

516
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: long time, and we all knew it, but he refused

517
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: to admit it to himself. He said to me, I

518
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: was scared. I was scared of what I would have

519
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: to go through again. The reality of that something was

520
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: not okay with me, and we all sort of were like, yeah,

521
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: we know, and it's so easy to be like we

522
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: told you, it's so easy to be that guy, but

523
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: it's much better not to be that guy. It was

524
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: also a realization that he had artery disease, which is genetic,

525
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: which I'm his son, so that gets passed down to me.

526
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 2: Which when I have mentioned that to.

527
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: Doctors and stuff like that, they've gone, oh, you know,

528
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: you should get checked.

529
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I will never do.

530
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm essentially repeating history as as it happens.

531
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: So since that diagnosis and since the surgery, have you

532
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: gotten checked up?

533
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: Not yet? But the I mean.

534
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: I actually have been in for a skin check that

535
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: my wife made me go.

536
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: She booked it and said you've got to go.

537
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: But I think like the biggest takeaway from from this

538
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: whole experience is that I do need to pull my

539
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: fucking finger out in the lack of a better word,

540
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: because you know, two days after that, he essentially died

541
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: in the hospital bed and they had to reboot him.

542
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: So for that split moment, I didn't have a dad

543
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: and they had to go back into surgery. And you know,

544
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: and the constant talk around it is, for twelve months,

545
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: you've had an opportunity to face your fears, you know,

546
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: like I said, pull your finger out and put everyone

547
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: around you his mind at ease that something's not okay,

548
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: so that it can be okay and you can continue

549
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: to live your life. He's great now, but he is

550
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: so full of I won't let this happen again. And

551
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: I hope that's truthful.

552
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: And has he said anything to you about your health

553
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: and you getting Yeah.

554
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: He just says, stopping a dickhead, go and do it,

555
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: and that's completely fair. And my wife is also really

556
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: like I got young kids. My dad had a heart

557
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: to take at forty one. Matt, I'm thirty four years old.

558
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 1: I'm not far off that and I seven years and

559
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: my mum really spooks me a lot because he and

560
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: I at this age lived a very similar lifestyle. And

561
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: you know me, I'm quite a heavy drinker. I ever

562
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: really one hundred percent take care of myself all the time,

563
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: or so.

564
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, like it's something that.

565
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Being in the position I am, and like I should

566
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: probably lead by example to go fucking go and do it,

567
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: go and get something checked to make sure that can

568
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: help not just me but my kids.

569
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: I think what your dad has gone through, though, is

570
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: is definitely not an isolated case in terms of older men.

571
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: It's the story in the hospital. It's so funny.

572
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: We're in intensive care after the fact and Dad's got

573
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: even before the surgery, Dad's got guys around to him

574
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: in the cardiac all in the same boat that all

575
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: didn't get shit checked, that all waited too long, or

576
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, waited till the very last minute before it

577
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: was fatal. And even Dad saying people coming in and

578
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: dying because you know, this fifty year old bloke who's

579
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: a young man didn't go and do the very minor thing,

580
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: which is to get a blood test. And for me personally,

581
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm fucking petrified. I haven't had a blood test in

582
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,959
Speaker 1: like ten years plus. I haven't had a blood test

583
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: since I've been married to my wife.

584
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 3: That way, I don't think I've ever had one either,

585
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: and I think it's maybe down to the fact that

586
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 3: I don't want to get old.

587
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: No one does.

588
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: You think you're just superman, see whatever, Peter pan whatever.

589
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm staring down the barrel now at turning forty and

590
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: I hate it. I absolutely hate it. You know, no

591
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 3: one wants to get old at all. And I think

592
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: having these regular checkups and it's the realization that you know,

593
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: we're no longer twenty year old, we are getting nice.

594
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: I feel.

595
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: I always said it, April, I'm like, I wonder when

596
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a full grown man. He's like,

597
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: He's like, listen here, dickhead, you are a fully grown man.

598
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: So go and fucking get go and get something checked,

599
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: just so that you can give myself and the kids

600
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: some peace of mind that you're looking after yourself so

601
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: that you'll be here for the long run. And that

602
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: goes for if I'm talking to anyone that goes to

603
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: all these young dads that follow us and messages and

604
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: send us we love your.

605
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: Podcast, all that shit.

606
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: Who've got two three year olds that are relating so much,

607
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: Go and fucking get something checked. Look, because there's so

608
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: much talk with dad over the last few weeks of

609
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, you could have avoided it being a scare

610
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: for the whole family if you'd just been checked and

611
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: known what we were in for, know what we're in

612
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: for ahead of time, instead of you having to come

613
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: to see your grandkids and then having to see you

614
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: like that when you could have gone early. Notice that

615
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: you're out of bread for no reason for walking on

616
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: flat ground when he is quite a fit guy, like

617
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: you've met him. Go early, Go and do it early.

618
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: And look, you know, I'm guilty of doing it too,

619
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: of leaving things at the last minute, But I would

620
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: say earlier is better, Matt.

621
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, with any medical condition, the more time you can

622
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: give doctors, the better your chances of survival. I know

623
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: that Laura's stepdad at the moment, he is going through

624
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 3: one hell of a battle, which it breaks my heart

625
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 3: the fact that he's currently in palliative care. Eight years

626
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and unfortunately, by

627
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 3: the time they had diagnosed him, it was already terminal.

628
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 3: And you know, I think he's pretty young as well.

629
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 3: He's like in his sixties at the moment. Yeah, And

630
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: I can't help but think if he had gone to

631
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: the doctor sooner, if he had gotten checked out, if

632
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: they had found it, you know, just that a little

633
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: bit earlier, he may have had a better chance of survival.

634
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: And it could be hard sometimes to see what the

635
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: warning signs are, right, So with every medical condition, they've

636
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: all got different symptoms. Did he have any particular symptoms

637
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: that he thought, you know, look back now in hindsight

638
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: and go, that was abnormal and maybe I should have

639
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: gotten that check.

640
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

641
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 3: I think the big one was having to urinate a lot,

642
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: really frequently, abnormally frequently.

643
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: What's abnormally frequently?

644
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: Do you think enough for it to impact your daily life? Yeah,

645
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: the fact that you're always having to know you need

646
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: to be close to a toilet.

647
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually you can plain your pissess out. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

648
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: yeah yeah.

649
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: But Laura's mum was like so many women in the

650
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: relationship where she was trying to force him to go

651
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: to the doctors and they get himself checked out. You know,

652
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: when I speak to Neil now, of course he wishes that, Yeah,

653
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: he'd gone sooner.

654
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: And it's such a stubborn thing that men do. Right,

655
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh we go, yeah, we'll do it. Yeah, I'm all right.

656
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: We'll do it well.

657
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: And it's not just the major things, it's the minor

658
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: things too that can impact your life. So yeah, I mean,

659
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: as you were saying, early detection is so important.

660
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: Important.

661
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: So if you're a man listening, yes, I Matt, I'm

662
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: going to make a promise to you.

663
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: Go on.

664
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: Okay, I haven't had a blood test in what I say,

665
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years.

666
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know.

667
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: So I promise to go and book in and get

668
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: a blood test if this week or next week, I

669
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: will send you the confirmation and start the process. Because

670
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: I do have a genetic disease, it's being passed down

671
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: to me. I can't really help that. At least if

672
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: I can start to look at it now, then maybe

673
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: I won't get to a point in my life where

674
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: my family's scared for my health, if that makes sense.

675
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: And I can't run this podcast by myself, no you cannot. Well,

676
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: every run's replaceable, man, I'll do the same.

677
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: You do the same blood test, all right, blood brothers,

678
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: they're corners, the blood brothers. Okay, So we're promising each other.

679
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: This is promise seeing the listeners.

680
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: See the listeners as well, that it's so bloody easy

681
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 3: for these non critical things, you know, because we're all

682
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: flat out working looking after the kids, that this is

683
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 3: like the last thing we want to worry about.

684
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: But we'll do it. Yeah, we'll share the results.

685
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: I feel like if you can take a moment to

686
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: look after yourself, to help to look after your kids

687
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: long term.

688
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: It's priceless. So go and do that.

00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 4: Ah.

709
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 3: I don't do it as much these days, but if

Speaker 3: I was to get the mop bucket out, be careful.

711
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,959
Speaker 3: She will rip my clothes off. That's the only reason

712
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: why I don't do it afterwards. But he's what's it for, April?

713
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: What does she love?

715
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,480

Speaker 2: Like elbow deep in something else later on.

719
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: EO cleaning seems to be the common consensus.

720
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 3: But I've got a little list here, as I know

721
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,279

00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 2: pretty sexy. I'm just going to say Laura does like it.

728
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: I guess when he rolls up.

729
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 3: His sleeves, yeah, means business is about to happen. With

730
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,200

Speaker 3: You an indication of how low that bar is. Where

738
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 3: it's like if someone just ran me a bath, did

739
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 3: the bare minimum, I would love him.

00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: This is a niche one.

743
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 3: She says her husband created a cracker for a stock

744
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 3: whip out of a plastic bag.

745
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: What she loved it, Oh, my goodness, wouldn't good enough.

746
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: My last one's really really simple. It's just getting a

747
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: pay rise.

748
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 3: I don't know if April ever loves this, but this

749
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,120

Speaker 3: headset and reverses the.

751
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: Yes, I remember because back in the day, when I

752
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: was a child, this is how I was conceived.

753
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 2: I reckon.

754
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: There was no reverse cameras, and that was the go

755
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: to move.

756
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: I reckon. I reckon.

Speaker 3: uses his professional voice, oh.

764
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,279

00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: Literally, she will. As I get her change, she's looking

797
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,880

00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: So like, right now I can't leave the house without

805
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 3: whacking a band aid on it somewhere.

806
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 2: I just have it pre empty with the clothes.

00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: And it makes her so happy. She gets it on

810
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: and she's like all right, let's get the car, got everything.

811
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: The same thing where her and our school were running

812
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: around the lounge and she's fallen over, and like, legitimately

813
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: it must have scared her or.

814
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 2: Whatever, hurt her foot a little bit.

815
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: She must get like a little bit of carpet burn

816
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: or I don't know, but she was all of a

817
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: sudden fine, great, And then she just like developed a limp,

818
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: just like moments later, and we were like what, oh

819
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: my god, Like she's got a limp. She's got a limp,

820
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: and I was like, what's wrong. She was like, I

821
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: need a band aid? And then did you give her one? Yeah,

822
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: on the opposite leg, and she was fine, Just like anyway,

823
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: they're being old liars, man, don't believe anything. We always

824
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: try and do, like you're the boy who cried wolf.

825
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: And then someone told me that the boy who cried

826
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: Wolf died anyway, and I was like.

827
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: Well, a bit morbid. It's a bit morbid.

828
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,479
Speaker 3: But anyway, hey, do you know what I'm worried about, Well,

829
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: the fact that we recorded with mom. We sent her

830
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: out to pick up a sandwich from the cafe down

831
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 3: the road. I forgot yeah, yeah, right now she's probably

832
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: getting scammed. She's probably face to face with one hundred

833
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 3: men under a bridge somewhere up.

834
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,920
