WEBVTT - #72 Dads Need To Stop Skipping The Doc

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>When you sleep? Do you sleep with your feet out

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>or in the donner in?

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:06.320
<v Speaker 2>For sure?

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Really doesn't it feel weird on your toes?

0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? I don't know. Maybe it's just

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 2>a sensory thing for me.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 3>Like occasionally, if I'm too hot, I'll go just like

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 3>one foot out.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>One foot out is elite level sleeping question for you? Yes,

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>stomach or back? I can't sleep with my stomach. Can't

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>do it?

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Love it?

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>What do I do if I get in the direction

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you start levitating?

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back to two doting dads. I'm Mattie Jay and

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm Ash. This is a podcast all about parenting. It

0:00:55.040 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>is the good, it is the bad, emphasize the bad,

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 3>and it's also the relatable.

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>It is the relatable.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>And if you've come for advice, this is not the

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 1>podcast for you. And Maddy Jay usually says that line,

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>but today I thought I would say it.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Change it up a little bit. People like what's going

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:14.919
<v Speaker 2>on here?

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>And before we do get started, we always love to

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>crack a nice drop, and today's drop is the NRB,

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 1>which is the Northern Rivers Beer.

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>So quick one here we go.

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh no no no, no no no no, very good,

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>very good.

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>What's it cold? Ash? I'm going to put you on

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 2>the spot here. What's it called?

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>When you abbreviate words to just the first letter? I

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 3>feel like I'm asking the wrong guy.

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>You are definitely asking the wrong guy. Do you know

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>what I love? Ash? Me an acronym, yes, an nrb.

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>It just rolls up the Northern Rivers beer.

0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is Stone and Wood's greenest beer, Matt us

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>what that means.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 3>For those playing at home, It means they use over

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 3>seventy percent certified sustainable mold and one hundred percent certified

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 3>sustainable hops.

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 2>But what is certified sustainable now?

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 3>So it means that the farmers who supply the molten

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 3>grains to Stone and Wood they are held to a

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 3>highest standard, the highest standard.

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>In the land. Ad Oh, I love to hear that.

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 3>So like using less water, looking after the soil that

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>the plants are grown in, and using less energy overall.

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that sounds great now, Matt.

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>This isn't a limited edition, but it is limited in location,

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>so that's what makes it unique. You can only buy

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it in person in between Tweed and Yamber.

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 2>However, if you purchase.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Your beer online, you can get it anywhere. In the

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>country and they'll deliver it straight to your door.

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>There is one more way you can get a case

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 2>of the nib as. There is tell us how that is, Matt.

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>That's by winning one from us.

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 3>You can throw up a story on your Instagram listening

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>to two doting dads tag us tag Stone and Wood

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 3>and will throw a case. We'll probably not throw, will

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 3>deliver it to your front door. Absolutely, and as always

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>we want to thank Stone and Wood for.

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Making this episode possible. Matt, we're back here, we are,

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>We're back another week. They feel like they're all blending

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>into one as.

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to pretend to be in a good mood today.

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>You do that, going to pretend, you pretend away in

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a great move. I've just got a couple of little

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>updates for you from my end that I just want

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to just get out of the way.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>This morning.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>We have been talking about a big event coming up,

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>huge big event, which is my son's first ever birthday.

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 1>But he's five, it's not his first birthday for those

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>just tuning in.

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, last week you mentioned you threw out the manly stickers.

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I did made a critical mistake of April ordered these

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>custom stickers for the I keep going to call them showbags,

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>but this is not the us to show that I'm

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>throwing at the very minor party.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>It could be, it could be, And she had.

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>These custom stickers ordered, and I think I accidentally threw

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>out and I was not mad enough. I was a coward, Matt.

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I was a coward, and I did not tell her

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>in person. I let her listen to last week's episode.

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>How did she react?

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>She didn't talk to me for a little while because

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>she had so far and wired to get the right

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>size stickers.

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 3>Well, I always say, ash, don't come to me with problems,

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 3>come to me with solutions.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>And I do have a solution. What is it.

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I have reordered the stickers without her knowing, And so

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>when she found out that I had done this, I said,

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>but it's okay. I've got new ones on the way.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>So she's like, so you've wasted all this money as

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>well and my time.

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Can I ask you at this point, are you regretting

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 3>committing to a birthday party?

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, yeah, but he's very excited.

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>The best thing about throwing your child at birthday party

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>is the threat of being able to cancel it if

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>he's misbehaving. Are you using that through Oh, I'm using

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>it hard, hard.

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Out getting the bath, no right, birthday party, cancel, no

0:04:58.839 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>straight at the bart.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 3>I think my initial response is you can't do that.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 3>That's quite mean. But I'm pretty sure it's legal. For

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 3>two weeks. Yeah, in the last two or three weeks,

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>that was that was like frontline defense for me, the

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 3>kids and behaving.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>I've still canceled Christmas already this year. Where for those

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>of you at home listening right now, Matt's chasing a

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>cat around that he pretends that he hates, but I

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>think he loves that a little bit salty today, and

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 1>we'll try and get through it.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll just nurse him through it. Here he comes, deep breath.

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 3>There's a chance, there's a small chance I may not

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 3>be able to attend the birthday.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, wha, wha, wha, whoa, whoa, whoa wah.

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Something's come up, something's come up more important. Look, what's

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 3>more important? Look, I won't go into detail. We don't

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 3>have time for that. Yes we do. We'll take this offline. No, no, no,

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 3>we won't, and we won't. I want everyone listening to

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 3>know why we have a clash of dates. Okay, a

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 3>clash of dates. Clash of dates. The diaries are normally

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>checked thoroughly before committing to any type of activity.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, you better cancel that other activity.

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 3>There was a mistake that was made by whom by myself.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I acknowledge this mistake. I'm currently in the process of

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 3>trying to fix it.

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So just you just said to me, yes, don't come

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to me with problems, come to me with solutions.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>You're absolutely right. And so you come to me now

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>with a problem and no solutions. You sound like April.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>What what's the solution? What are the options?

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 3>The options are Laura and I may split, okay, not permanently,

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 3>just for the weekend, Yes, just for.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 2>The weekend, just for one afternoon.

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Maybe maybe a case that I attend with my mum,

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 3>which and no kids that would be weird. Just leave

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.479
<v Speaker 3>it with me, Leave it with me. I just wanted

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 3>to put it on your right angry. I'm not angry,

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I just disappointed. I'm just okay. I'm working on it. Also,

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 3>not to come with more shit news. I haven't heard

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 3>back from mainly regarding the mascot who we want to

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 3>attend the event.

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>This is the biggest shit sandwich.

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Can I just defend myself for one second in that

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 3>this morning?

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of pent up anger. Yeah, but you're

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>taking it out on me and I don't like it.

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Because I just got the news ash this house is leaking,

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 3>the mansion, it's leaking. Everything is leaking right now. The

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 3>front window is leaking. So we just we just found

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 3>out on the weekend, gone pouring down with the rain,

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>people calling it them monsoon.

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I would like to.

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Say that you can't control the rain, and I'll forgive

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>you for that.

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 3>And whilst it was raining through the light, water was

0:07:58.720 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 3>pouring in.

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>It's dangerous because of electricity too, well, said electrical stream.

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>So we had we had this internal waterfall. We had

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 3>someone come and look at the house and it's the

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 3>house has been built badly.

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>And you'd be a very good way to put it.

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Before we started recording, the builder walked out and I

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 3>was like, what's the news?

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I did hear? And what did he say? You don't

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>want to hear it right now? Chat about it later, yes.

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>And then and then to top it all off, I've

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>got this cat who I love, dearly, beautiful cat, beautiful,

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:35.360
<v Speaker 3>great cat.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's just it's always there. It's it's a

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.719
<v Speaker 1>bit march, sometimes a bit much. It's a bit of

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a It doesn't understand it's a kitten. It's a kitten,

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>so it's very playful. It's never not hungry, doesn't can't

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>read the room. It can't read the room. It doesn't

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>understand when it's not welcomed, and just I'll feed it.

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Split second later, the kids will be having their dinner.

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I turn around, I look back, and the cat's just

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.319
<v Speaker 1>down table, like eating the kid's food.

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 2>And Marley and Laula are.

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Like, yay, go back in for another Yes, especially when

<v Speaker 1>it's cereal.

<v Speaker 2>That's mine my house, all right.

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.600

<v Speaker 1>potentially not coming.

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going.

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not because I understand the pressure that you're under

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>at the moment, and the issues come to me with

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>a solution, and then we'll have a proper conversation.

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 3>We don't normally have special guests. We don't do it

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 3>on a Wednesday episode.

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.720

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.320
<v Speaker 1>senior Kenticky tour, and I want to know how it

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>all went down.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Ellie Johnson, welcome back to the podcast. It's lovely to

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 2>have you back. It's good to be finally. How long

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 2>have you been away? For? Nine weeks? Gosh, it's gone quick.

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I went fast. That went way too fast for my liking.

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I do want to ask you. I know you got scammed.

0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 3>I did a number of times you've been taking advantage

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 3>of well.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Let me put it this way.

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 4>In the first forty eight hours, I was scammed just

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 4>over twelve hundred dollars.

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, what did you do? Dodgy strip Clay?

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's crazy. That was escort.

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 4>The embarrassing thing was that the scamming started before I

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 4>even left the country.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the first scare.

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 4>All right, going to Singapore. Was told that I had

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 4>to get a transit visa. Best to get the transit

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 4>visa before you leave the country. Sure, okay, So I'm

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 4>in the departure lounge. I google Singapore a transit visa,

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 4>a transit because I wasn't there overnight, it was just

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 4>going in and.

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Out the airport.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I googled, got onto the Singapore Transit site, filled

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 4>it all in, and then this payment slip just popped up,

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 4>and I thought, oh, there's a charge. So I filled

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 4>all that in and then it went back onto the site.

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 4>I completed the visa, got my visa, everything's fine, and

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 4>then there was no amount shown on the payment slip.

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 4>So I checked my credit card and I have an

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 4>amount of one hundred and ninety two dollars for the visa,

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 4>and I think that's a bit steep, so I questioned

0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 4>it and someone said, no, sing poor visas are free.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 2>You've been scammed.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 4>They've they've somehow superimposed this payment slip. So then I

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 4>contact my credit card company, thinking it's just a one

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.000
<v Speaker 4>off scam and.

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 2>You haven't left the country yet, and I have.

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 4>Not left the country yet. I disputed the amount, but

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 4>I didn't cancel my card.

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, So go along.

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 4>And then I arrive in Paris, I know to follow

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 4>the signs to the taxi rank and to ignore the

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 4>hustlers who are trying to get nah.

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>I know you're going because if anyone who hasn't been

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 3>to Paris or a lot of countries, Paris is particularly

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 3>oh ruthless, it's ruthless.

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I let me to draw you back to a movie

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:57.719
<v Speaker 1>by the name of Taken in Paris, where she went

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>to Paris and she was taken. You weren't taken with you? Well,

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I just say that sounds like what you're saying. It's

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty dodgy, dodgy.

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 4>But I thought that I was doing all the right thing.

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 4>I was ignoring all these people. I know your little game.

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Because they call you.

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sure, as a seventy three year old woman

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.079
<v Speaker 3>with a few bags, how many bags did you have?

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I had two bags, one small, one medium.

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 3>And I'd say it's a large bag. There was a light,

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 3>big bag, and you must have welcomed a nice gentleman

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 3>coming over and offering some assistance with your bags.

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 2>It's a long friend.

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 4>I hate to draw the elderly a lone card, but

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 4>when you were of a certain age traveling alone two cases,

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 4>whether you like it or not, there's a target.

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>You're a target.

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 4>But anyway, but anyway, I thought it was doing okay,

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 4>doors open, pelting down with rain.

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh, fellow, this fellow was the time of the day.

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Was it got to the actually rank and this gentleman said,

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 4>inspector right, I'm going to try and take this seriously

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 4>now and ignore.

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Is this for me? I was really suffering? Okay, your

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>mom was scared. I apologize this point. I wasn't scared.

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 4>And the fellow.

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Said, I'm trying to stick up you here. Mom's like,

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 2>shut up. I was never scared, not once.

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 4>So fifty five euro was mentioned, great and so pouring

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 4>with rain, and this driver said, madam, it's raining. You

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 4>get in the car, I'll deal with the bags and

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.239
<v Speaker 4>I will take the trolley. And I thought to myself,

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 4>what a delightful young man.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what he wanted you to think.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 4>How nice is he? So got in the car, dry

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 4>and As we're driving to the hotel. I look and think, eh,

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:10.200
<v Speaker 4>he does not have a meter. I have got into

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 4>a regular car, not a taxi.

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 2>But I stitched that, so my mistake.

0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 4>But I think, no, no, no, we agreed on fifty five.

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 4>It'll be okay. Get to the hotel, still pouring with rain.

0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 2>The rain was fierce that night.

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.280
<v Speaker 4>And he says one hundred and thirty euro, madam.

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, my god.

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 4>And I said no, no, no, no extortion. He said

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 4>fifty five euro and he said, oh yes, madame, But

0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 4>that laid baggage. The bags lit tolly, Oh my god.

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:52.360
<v Speaker 2>And I go, okay, stitch, you know, and look, what

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 2>do you do here? Really?

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 4>But you know what, it's easy to say, oh, I

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.160
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't have paid it, But what do you do? My

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 4>bags are in his boot. Urine is too, You know

0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 4>that I can't get my bags. I'm tired. I just

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 4>want to get out.

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Of this car.

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I think exhausted is a more appropriate word, Elie.

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 4>I think exhausted is a bloody good word.

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Actually.

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 3>And let's not forget you're seventy nine, you're almost eighty.

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not like a hundred and two. So what did

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>you do. So I paid it.

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 4>Then I go into this hotel, which as soon as

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 4>you're open the door to a hotel and the stench

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 4>hits you, and I did body. Oh dear, you know

0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 4>I was tired and this hotel, I mean, I should

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:44.000
<v Speaker 4>have realized a hotel called the Terminus. I should have

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 4>realized it wasn't going to be the best. And then

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 4>when I thought it couldn't get any worse, what happened Next?

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 4>I checked my credit card and there was eight hundred

0:16:55.360 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 4>dollars because when I had filled in the four they

0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 4>had your details, they had my details, and Apple pay

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 4>eight hundred dollars.

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 2>They just kept charging it today. Oh so then I

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>thought it is true.

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 4>I have to say, boys, I am quite resilient, but

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:20.160
<v Speaker 4>I do remember sitting on this grossy little bed thinking

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I want.

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 2>To go home. I don't want to stay here anymore.

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>That is Look. I do feel sorry for me, but

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 1>it's also very funny.

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm very proud of you for doing that. Mam.

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 3>I think I forget that seventy three two.

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm seventy two years.

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I know lots of other individuals who were hitting seventy

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 3>who were nowhere near as sharp.

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>As you.

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true, and I think you should be commended

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:59.880
<v Speaker 3>on making the trip an adventure if you will by yourself.

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Did you meet any young suitors while you were there French?

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Look close to where I was staying, there was a charcouteriie,

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.880
<v Speaker 4>which is a place where you can buy.

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Meats and board.

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:19.679
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say, a charcouteriie on Francille is

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 4>lots of meats, cooked meats.

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.159
<v Speaker 2>And I used to go and there was this gentleman and.

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 4>It was quite quite weird because I can't in my head,

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.520
<v Speaker 4>I sort of thought, oh, I don't know, he's almost seventy.

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Then I thought I shouldn't be so judgment But anyway,

0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 2>it was quite funny.

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:48.359
<v Speaker 4>No, he wasn't.

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:49.520
<v Speaker 2>But he was a real character.

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 4>And I would come in and he'd make a big

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 4>fuss and he would do beautiful meals like Berth Bourgigno.

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.159
<v Speaker 4>And then this one day I got I got a

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:05.439
<v Speaker 4>Berth Bourgigno and he's no, no, And he sidled up

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.000
<v Speaker 4>and he said, today.

0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I have a very nice coco bet and the back

0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>of a van coco bet, and I'm going.

0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 4>To give you a little bit because I think you

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 4>should try it.

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.120
<v Speaker 2>So I think that was like a youph.

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Miss, you're going to have a little brother, yes, cock,

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 1>And then he scanned me out of the rest of

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>my and I came home.

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 4>It was a very tasty cock, his chicken.

0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing better than a French cock. As I always say,

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.120
<v Speaker 2>very good, that's very very good. I'm glad you're back.

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Before you go on your recent trip, can you remember

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 3>any moments that were particularly scary.

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Terrifying if you will, Yeah, other than.

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 4>The cross when I tell you this, because it was

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 4>a little bit reckless, so I.

0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Would never view reckless.

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.640
<v Speaker 4>Well I had in Paris. I had to go from

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 4>one station to another station and it was on the

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:19.480
<v Speaker 4>GPS seven minutes walking and I thought, I'm not going

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.879
<v Speaker 4>to get a taxi. I'm not going to be scammed again.

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Can I just say there has been an occasion where

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Mum went down to the shops to get some food.

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 3>About five hundred meters I lost a straight line straight

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 3>back like maybe an hour later.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 2>I was like, where are you and she was like,

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm in Merobra. Oh my god. Yeah, it is a

0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.880
<v Speaker 2>bit no no, but I got this. I was following.

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.159
<v Speaker 2>It was all going well.

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.640
<v Speaker 4>And then I went off the beaten track.

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>And there well because it told me to.

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 4>And then suddenly I was faced with this large tunnel and.

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>It said it said go through. The tunnel said do

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 2>not enter at your own reason. And it was.

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Pretty dark, and I thought, well, okay, it says to

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 4>go and so I went in and everything was fine

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.880
<v Speaker 4>until we turned a corner and the whole of the

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 4>pavement opened up. And I kid you not, there was

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 4>probably about a hundred what looked like men all camping out.

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 2>It was like it was tense city. Oh my god.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:30.880
<v Speaker 4>And I just looked at all these men who suddenly

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 4>stared at me. I didn't say anything. I just I

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 4>just thought, shit, this is not good. Are you sure

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:50.119
<v Speaker 4>Google Maps told you to go there? Yes. I can't

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:52.919
<v Speaker 4>walk on the pavement because it's it's all full of

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.959
<v Speaker 4>tents and sleeping bagstock back on the road. The worst

0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:01.439
<v Speaker 4>thing was there was this trickle of water going across

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 4>a stench urine unbelievable and it was not water, it

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 4>was urine, and.

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:11.159
<v Speaker 2>Knew it, and I thought, and I may pissed the

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 2>public many times.

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:16.639
<v Speaker 4>And then I saw a chink of light and I thought,

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm getting out of here. I put my head down,

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 4>my bum up, and I've never gone.

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Hang on a minute. It's not the position you want

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 2>to be in and what you want to be back

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 2>it right up.

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 3>So I pulled my pants down, my teeth, put my

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 3>eyes in the air, and raced for impact.

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, I wonder it was scary.

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.639
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, So I just race out of that as fast

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 4>as I could.

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Ellie, thank you for joining us, thank you for coming back,

0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:49.120
<v Speaker 1>thank you for making it back safely. And I appreciate

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>all the times that you got scanned because I think

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>it's hilarious.

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Do you know, I think it's really sad.

0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we're going to wrap this up. I love you, Mom,

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 2>thank you. Love. It's nice to be back. I love you.

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure the listeners love that, the French, especially Ash.

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:11.719
<v Speaker 3>We're going to have a bit of a change of

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 3>gears right now, and normally we only ever want to

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:19.160
<v Speaker 3>be fun time people have a laugh.

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you got to scratch more than just the surface.

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Man very well said, thank you.

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.159
<v Speaker 3>And the reason we're going to change gears and be

0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:27.159
<v Speaker 3>a little bit serious for a second is because it

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 3>is Men's Health Week. Is let's be honest, men are

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 3>a little bit crap when it comes to health, to

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 3>their own health. And I know recently you and your

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 3>family have been dealing with a health incident and it's been,

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.119
<v Speaker 3>like I would say, it's it's pretty huge.

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, through a big spanner in the work there.

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>For a couple of weeks, my dad came down to

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 1>visit my kids and my sister's kids, so his grandkids.

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't get to see them that often. They live

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>on the Gold Coast, so they came down for a

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 1>few days, which is nice. And he'd been on a

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:10.879
<v Speaker 1>few trips this year over the last twelve months and

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 1>he managed to pick up like a bit of an

0:24:13.080 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 1>infection that led to him having to go to hospital

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 1>once he got here with the infection just getting a

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit out of hand, but it led to something

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more serious where he was on an

0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>IV drip and some antibiotics, had to go to the

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 1>hospital every day. But the problem from that is he

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:35.479
<v Speaker 1>came to visit my kids and he was fine. He

0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>was recovering from that, which is great, but he did

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 1>mention to us once I was walking.

0:24:41.200 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Back to the car that he was a little bit

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 2>out of breath.

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:46.360
<v Speaker 1>And then my mum had also flagged with me over

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the last twelve months that he'd been sort of losing

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 1>breath on minor walks and all sorts of things.

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 2>But your dad is very fit. He's a fit guy here,

0:24:56.680 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 2>serves a lot, walks a lot.

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.240
<v Speaker 1>He's retired, so he spends a lot of the time

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 1>walking up and down the beach all that sort of stuff.

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Active.

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But over the last twelve months, yeah, he was losing

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:07.640
<v Speaker 1>He sort of would lose breath. And just to take

0:25:07.680 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 1>you back a little bit for a bit of context,

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 1>when he was forty one years old, he had a

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 1>heart attack and had some stents put into his archery

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.879
<v Speaker 1>and anyway, So after he'd taken that walk to the car,

0:25:20.200 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 1>he'd gone back to where they were staying in the accommodation.

0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I received a call at six am in the morning

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that my dad had been rushed to the ICU. Wow,

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and he hadn't suffered a heart attack. But what happened

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 1>is the fluid from the IV that he had had

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 1>landed sort of gone into his lungs and he couldn't breathe,

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:42.480
<v Speaker 1>So he was essentially drowning really at his accommodation in

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.920
<v Speaker 1>front of my mum. The ambulance came and he survived. Obviously,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.439
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that he needed a triple bypass because

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 1>his heart wasn't actually well. That stent he had was

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>only working at two percent, so the other arteries had

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.199
<v Speaker 1>to pick up the slack and it just they just

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 1>got to a point after twelve months, months of him

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 1>struggling with shortness of breath and ignoring those signs that

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>he just couldn't take it anymore.

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:12.720
<v Speaker 2>And the doctor said that he was pretty lucky. Though.

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 2>He was really lucky.

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:16.679
<v Speaker 1>They said if he wasn't as fit as he was,

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>or if he was overweight, he would be dead. Essentially,

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.639
<v Speaker 1>he would have had a heart attack. He would have

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 1>died multiple times over the last years. Those archeries were

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>actually trying to pick up the slack anyway. So he

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 1>went in to have that triple bypass surgery here in Sydney.

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>So a three day trip turned into a six week

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 1>trip where he was stuck here in Sydney.

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, there's a lot of conversations that happened

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:44.680
<v Speaker 1>between him and going into surgery. He was upbeat up front,

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:46.199
<v Speaker 1>but I could see that in his eyes he was

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 1>a little bit scared, and he said to me a

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 1>few times. He said, I haven't been well for a

0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>long time, and we all knew it, but he refused

0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.399
<v Speaker 1>to admit it to himself. He said to me, I

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 1>was scared. I was scared of what I would have

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to go through again. The reality of that something was

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:12.120
<v Speaker 1>not okay with me, and we all sort of were like, yeah,

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:13.800
<v Speaker 1>we know, and it's so easy to be like we

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 1>told you, it's so easy to be that guy, but

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it's much better not to be that guy. It was

0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>also a realization that he had artery disease, which is genetic,

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>which I'm his son, so that gets passed down to me.

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Which when I have mentioned that to.

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Doctors and stuff like that, they've gone, oh, you know,

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you should get checked.

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, I will never do.

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm essentially repeating history as as it happens.

0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:43.480
<v Speaker 3>So since that diagnosis and since the surgery, have you

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 3>gotten checked up?

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Not yet? But the I mean.

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I actually have been in for a skin check that

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:52.639
<v Speaker 1>my wife made me go.

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:54.680
<v Speaker 2>She booked it and said you've got to go.

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 1>But I think like the biggest takeaway from from this

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:03.439
<v Speaker 1>whole experience is that I do need to pull my

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:06.479
<v Speaker 1>fucking finger out in the lack of a better word,

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:09.680
<v Speaker 1>because you know, two days after that, he essentially died

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in the hospital bed and they had to reboot him.

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So for that split moment, I didn't have a dad

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and they had to go back into surgery. And you know,

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and the constant talk around it is, for twelve months,

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you've had an opportunity to face your fears, you know,

0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 1>like I said, pull your finger out and put everyone

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>around you his mind at ease that something's not okay,

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>so that it can be okay and you can continue

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>to live your life. He's great now, but he is

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>so full of I won't let this happen again. And

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I hope that's truthful.

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 3>And has he said anything to you about your health

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 3>and you getting Yeah.

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>He just says, stopping a dickhead, go and do it,

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's completely fair. And my wife is also really

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>like I got young kids. My dad had a heart

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>to take at forty one. Matt, I'm thirty four years old.

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:10.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm not far off that and I seven years and

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:13.480
<v Speaker 1>my mum really spooks me a lot because he and

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I at this age lived a very similar lifestyle. And

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you know me, I'm quite a heavy drinker. I ever

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>really one hundred percent take care of myself all the time,

0:29:21.720 --> 0:29:22.720
<v Speaker 1>or so.

0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, like it's something that.

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Being in the position I am, and like I should

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>probably lead by example to go fucking go and do it,

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:38.040
<v Speaker 1>go and get something checked to make sure that can

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 1>help not just me but my kids.

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 3>I think what your dad has gone through, though, is

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 3>is definitely not an isolated case in terms of older men.

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 2>It's the story in the hospital. It's so funny.

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>We're in intensive care after the fact and Dad's got

0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:00.440
<v Speaker 1>even before the surgery, Dad's got guys around to him

0:30:00.480 --> 0:30:03.520
<v Speaker 1>in the cardiac all in the same boat that all

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't get shit checked, that all waited too long, or

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, waited till the very last minute before it

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>was fatal. And even Dad saying people coming in and

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 1>dying because you know, this fifty year old bloke who's

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a young man didn't go and do the very minor thing,

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>which is to get a blood test. And for me personally,

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm fucking petrified. I haven't had a blood test in

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:29.959
<v Speaker 1>like ten years plus. I haven't had a blood test

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>since I've been married to my wife.

0:30:31.960 --> 0:30:36.240
<v Speaker 3>That way, I don't think I've ever had one either,

0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 3>and I think it's maybe down to the fact that

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to get old.

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 2>No one does.

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 1>You think you're just superman, see whatever, Peter pan whatever.

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm staring down the barrel now at turning forty and

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 3>I hate it. I absolutely hate it. You know, no

0:30:51.480 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 3>one wants to get old at all. And I think

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:58.880
<v Speaker 3>having these regular checkups and it's the realization that you know,

0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:02.280
<v Speaker 3>we're no longer twenty year old, we are getting nice.

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel.

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I always said it, April, I'm like, I wonder when

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be a full grown man. He's like,

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>He's like, listen here, dickhead, you are a fully grown man.

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>So go and fucking get go and get something checked,

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:17.000
<v Speaker 1>just so that you can give myself and the kids

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:19.480
<v Speaker 1>some peace of mind that you're looking after yourself so

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 1>that you'll be here for the long run. And that

0:31:21.320 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>goes for if I'm talking to anyone that goes to

0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>all these young dads that follow us and messages and

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:28.840
<v Speaker 1>send us we love your.

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Podcast, all that shit.

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Who've got two three year olds that are relating so much,

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Go and fucking get something checked. Look, because there's so

0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>much talk with dad over the last few weeks of

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, you could have avoided it being a scare

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 1>for the whole family if you'd just been checked and

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 1>known what we were in for, know what we're in

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 1>for ahead of time, instead of you having to come

0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>to see your grandkids and then having to see you

0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like that when you could have gone early. Notice that

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you're out of bread for no reason for walking on

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>flat ground when he is quite a fit guy, like

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you've met him. Go early, Go and do it early.

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:11.880
<v Speaker 1>And look, you know, I'm guilty of doing it too,

0:32:11.880 --> 0:32:14.000
<v Speaker 1>of leaving things at the last minute, But I would

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>say earlier is better, Matt.

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, with any medical condition, the more time you can

0:32:20.200 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 3>give doctors, the better your chances of survival. I know

0:32:23.480 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 3>that Laura's stepdad at the moment, he is going through

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:33.440
<v Speaker 3>one hell of a battle, which it breaks my heart

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the fact that he's currently in palliative care. Eight years

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 3>ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and unfortunately, by

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 3>the time they had diagnosed him, it was already terminal.

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I think he's pretty young as well.

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 3>He's like in his sixties at the moment. Yeah, And

0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 3>I can't help but think if he had gone to

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:00.800
<v Speaker 3>the doctor sooner, if he had gotten checked out, if

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 3>they had found it, you know, just that a little

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.120
<v Speaker 3>bit earlier, he may have had a better chance of survival.

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>And it could be hard sometimes to see what the

0:33:09.280 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 1>warning signs are, right, So with every medical condition, they've

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>all got different symptoms. Did he have any particular symptoms

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 1>that he thought, you know, look back now in hindsight

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and go, that was abnormal and maybe I should have

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:21.680
<v Speaker 1>gotten that check.

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 3>I think the big one was having to urinate a lot,

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 3>really frequently, abnormally frequently.

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>What's abnormally frequently?

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you think enough for it to impact your daily life? Yeah,

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:34.600
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you're always having to know you need

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 3>to be close to a toilet.

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, usually you can plain your pissess out. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 2>yeah yeah.

0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:43.560
<v Speaker 3>But Laura's mum was like so many women in the

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.840
<v Speaker 3>relationship where she was trying to force him to go

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 3>to the doctors and they get himself checked out. You know,

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 3>when I speak to Neil now, of course he wishes that, Yeah,

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:54.440
<v Speaker 3>he'd gone sooner.

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's such a stubborn thing that men do. Right,

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh we go, yeah, we'll do it. Yeah, I'm all right.

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll do it well.

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just the major things, it's the minor

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:06.840
<v Speaker 1>things too that can impact your life. So yeah, I mean,

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:09.800
<v Speaker 1>as you were saying, early detection is so important.

0:34:09.920 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Important.

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>So if you're a man listening, yes, I Matt, I'm

0:34:13.160 --> 0:34:14.400
<v Speaker 1>going to make a promise to you.

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Go on.

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I haven't had a blood test in what I say,

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 1>ten or fifteen years.

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't even know.

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>So I promise to go and book in and get

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:25.120
<v Speaker 1>a blood test if this week or next week, I

0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 1>will send you the confirmation and start the process. Because

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I do have a genetic disease, it's being passed down

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to me. I can't really help that. At least if

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I can start to look at it now, then maybe

0:34:38.480 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I won't get to a point in my life where

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 1>my family's scared for my health, if that makes sense.

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And I can't run this podcast by myself, no you cannot. Well,

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 2>every run's replaceable, man, I'll do the same.

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>You do the same blood test, all right, blood brothers,

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:58.919
<v Speaker 1>they're corners, the blood brothers. Okay, So we're promising each other.

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:00.760
<v Speaker 1>This is promise seeing the listeners.

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:03.840
<v Speaker 3>See the listeners as well, that it's so bloody easy

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 3>for these non critical things, you know, because we're all

0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 3>flat out working looking after the kids, that this is

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:12.920
<v Speaker 3>like the last thing we want to worry about.

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:15.440
<v Speaker 2>But we'll do it. Yeah, we'll share the results.

0:35:15.680 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like if you can take a moment to

0:35:17.719 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 1>look after yourself, to help to look after your kids

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 1>long term.

0:35:21.600 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 2>It's priceless. So go and do that.

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.680

<v Speaker 3>the laundry.

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Ah.

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:19.839
<v Speaker 3>I don't do it as much these days, but if

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:23.720
<v Speaker 3>I was to get the mop bucket out, be careful.

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:26.959
<v Speaker 3>She will rip my clothes off. That's the only reason

0:36:26.960 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 3>why I don't do it afterwards. But he's what's it for, April?

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 3>What does she love?

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's a very very very good question. I don't

0:36:39.880 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 1>know what she likes. No same thing. I think if

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you get if your elbow deep in a toilet, the

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 1>sexy you are, I mean, I.

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Like elbow deep in something else later on.

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 1>EO cleaning seems to be the common consensus.

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 3>But I've got a little list here, as I know

0:36:56.719 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 3>you've got it for yourself. So maybe we can just

0:36:58.320 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 3>give like some sexy ye right now to really set

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 3>the move.

<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, let me just turn something on really quickly. Ah. Okay.

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:13.399
<v Speaker 3>When he wears his hat backwards, Oh, that.

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Was a big trend for a while. That's that is

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:18.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty sexy. I'm just going to say Laura does like it.

0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:20.359
<v Speaker 2>I guess when he rolls up.

0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:23.920
<v Speaker 3>His sleeves, yeah, means business is about to happen. With

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:26.200
<v Speaker 3>business times like when the sleeves roll up. You know

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:27.359
<v Speaker 3>shit's about to go down.

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:31.719
<v Speaker 2>There is a lot of cleaning. There's some just some

0:37:31.840 --> 0:37:32.399
<v Speaker 2>nice ones.

0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I would say that's just like being a nice person,

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 1>which is like.

0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Running me a hot bath just for no reason gives.

0:37:38.040 --> 0:37:40.439
<v Speaker 3>You an indication of how low that bar is. Where

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.040
<v Speaker 3>it's like if someone just ran me a bath, did

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:44.799
<v Speaker 3>the bare minimum, I would love him.

0:37:45.000 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Just when one here is just like, just be competent

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>for the whole day.

0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 2>This is a niche one.

0:37:53.080 --> 0:37:56.080
<v Speaker 3>She says her husband created a cracker for a stock

0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:57.760
<v Speaker 3>whip out of a plastic bag.

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:01.760
<v Speaker 1>What she loved it, Oh, my goodness, wouldn't good enough.

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 1>My last one's really really simple. It's just getting a

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 1>pay rise.

0:38:08.160 --> 0:38:10.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if April ever loves this, but this

0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 3>one says when he puts his hand on the passenger

0:38:14.360 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 3>headset and reverses the.

0:38:18.520 --> 0:38:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I remember because back in the day, when I

0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:24.760
<v Speaker 1>was a child, this is how I was conceived.

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I reckon.

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.080
<v Speaker 1>There was no reverse cameras, and that was the go

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:28.720
<v Speaker 1>to move.

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I reckon. I reckon.

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Dad's like and the feel of it, even if you're

0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:34.200
<v Speaker 1>slided in between.

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh Sam also wearing anything gray great sweatpants is a thing.

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 2>You've got to have a decent sized cock for that.

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know about a great sweat.

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.319

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:53.720
<v Speaker 3>uses his professional voice, oh.

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Because your voice changes so much when you just like

0:38:57.400 --> 0:39:00.560
<v Speaker 1>chatting to her mate chat to her or him, and

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:01.440
<v Speaker 1>then you're back into.

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:03.400

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:05.000
<v Speaker 2>circle back, circle back on.

0:39:04.880 --> 0:39:14.800

<v Speaker 2>I didn't even think about growing pains. Now I feel bad.

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:46.799

0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 3>loves them at the moment, and I think this is

0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:17.160
<v Speaker 3>on me. I've now done it so much that it's

0:40:17.200 --> 0:40:19.920

<v Speaker 3>get changed.

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Have a band aid.

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Literally, she will. As I get her change, she's looking

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:30.880
<v Speaker 3>at her arms, looking at her fingers, any type of

0:40:30.920 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 3>blem is.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's obsessed with them.

0:40:42.320 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 3>So like, right now I can't leave the house without

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:45.800
<v Speaker 3>whacking a band aid on it somewhere.

0:40:45.840 --> 0:40:47.280

<v Speaker 2>And it makes her so happy. She gets it on

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.840
<v Speaker 2>and she's like all right, let's get the car, got everything.

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:01.800
<v Speaker 1>The same thing where her and our school were running

0:41:01.800 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 1>around the lounge and she's fallen over, and like, legitimately

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:06.120

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Whatever, hurt her foot a little bit.

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:09.680
<v Speaker 1>She must get like a little bit of carpet burn

0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:11.600
<v Speaker 1>or I don't know, but she was all of a

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:15.760
<v Speaker 1>sudden fine, great, And then she just like developed a limp,

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:20.080
<v Speaker 1>just like moments later, and we were like what, oh

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:23.080
<v Speaker 1>my god, Like she's got a limp. She's got a limp,

0:41:23.480 --> 0:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, what's wrong. She was like, I

0:41:24.760 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 1>need a band aid? And then did you give her one? Yeah,

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:36.640
<v Speaker 1>on the opposite leg, and she was fine, Just like anyway,

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:39.320
<v Speaker 1>they're being old liars, man, don't believe anything. We always

0:41:39.360 --> 0:41:41.320
<v Speaker 1>try and do, like you're the boy who cried wolf.

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And then someone told me that the boy who cried

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Wolf died anyway, and I was like.

0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, a bit morbid. It's a bit morbid.

0:41:48.719 --> 0:41:51.479
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, hey, do you know what I'm worried about, Well,

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:54.120
<v Speaker 3>the fact that we recorded with mom. We sent her

0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 3>out to pick up a sandwich from the cafe down

0:41:56.040 --> 0:42:00.520
<v Speaker 3>the road. I forgot yeah, yeah, right now she's probably

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:04.160
<v Speaker 3>getting scammed. She's probably face to face with one hundred

0:42:04.160 --> 0:42:06.600
<v Speaker 3>men under a bridge somewhere up.

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:10.920
