1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,479
Speaker 1: It's The Happy Family's Podcast.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: It's the podcast for the time poor parent who just

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: wants answers.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Now, it's Father's Day, this coming Sunday in Australia, and well,

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. I love Father's Day. I love

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: it when the kids come and climb it a bed

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: and give me hugs and wrestle me and push me

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: out of the bed. Father's Day is a day where, hopefully,

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: if your family is doing well, you can really celebrate

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: the days in your life. And you know what Dad

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: always says when you say what do you want for

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: Father's Day? He always says nothing. I don't want anything.

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: I just want to have some nice quality time with

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: the kids, nice feet or two and that'll be about it.

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Let's keep it low key, let's keep it relaxed. That's

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: a hint, by the way, a big hint from me

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: today in The Happy Family's Podcast, it's a two parter.

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Part one, we're going to look at the history of

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: dad jokes and Kylie and I have a little bet going.

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: The bet is that I'll be a to make Kylie

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: laugh more than she'll be able to make me laugh

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: with three of the very best dad jokes that we've

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: been able to either recall from our growing up or

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: that we've been able to find as we've scoured the internet. Incidentally, Kylie,

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: did your dad have a classic dad joke that you

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: used to hear over and over again?

27
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: No, I don't think my dad was ever into dad jokes.

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: Well, I have a few. I got them from my

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: dad and I've passed them down to our children and

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they will pass them to their children.

31
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: My favorite one driving along the road honk the horn.

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: The kids say, why'd you honk?

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: Dad?

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: And I say, saw a cow? Say kiddo, to which

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: they reply, what's a cow say? And I laughingly respond,

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: move been doing it for well, I've been doing it

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 1: for twenty five years with our kids, but my dad

38
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: from the time I was a kiddo. That was the joke.

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: And the other one, the other classic dad one, is Hey, Dad,

40
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm hungry, to which Dad replies.

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,279
Speaker 2: You don't look hungry.

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I believe you said that. That's not what Dad saying. See,

43
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: this is why you're a mum, not a dad. Every

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: dad who has a child who says Dad, I'm hungry

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: or Dad, I'm bored, Dad looks at the kid and says, Hi, hungry,

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm Dad. I can't believe that you've missed that one.

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: This is going to be a long podcast, so okay,

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: So Part one we're going to talk We're going to

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: talk about the history of dad jokes. Part two we're

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: going to talk about creating connection with your kids if

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: you're a dad or you know what, just creating connection

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: with your kids, but especially in light of Father's Day.

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: So would you like to know, Kylie, the history of

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: dad jokes?

55
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: Whether I do or not, I'm going to find out.

56
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: So dad joke has been around. I mean, a dad

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: joke is just to play on words. It's a pun,

58
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: it's cheesy, it's intentionally meant to transgress or violate some

59
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: sort of language convention. But it's also really safe and

60
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: it just shows that dad's got some humor or whoever's

61
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: doing the dad joke has got that little bit of humor.

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: The classic joke, which is not really a dad joke,

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: but the classic joke, why did the Chicken cross the

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: road to get to the other side? Guess what year

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: that was first published?

66
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Well, it was Well and Sully around when I was

67
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: a little girl. Well and truly Yeah, so I'm going

68
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: to say the nineteen.

69
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Fifties, eighteen forty seven, what yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean,

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: the history of jokes is fascinating. But over time, dad

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: jokes have become increasingly popularized, especially into the nineteen hundreds.

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: In the twentieth century, dad jokes went from they weren't

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: just corny punchlines. They actually became cultural currency. And this

74
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: idea of building puns in one line is into predictable jokes.

75
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: But that's the point. The point of dad joke is connection,

76
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: not complexity. The whole idea of humor is to draw

77
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: people towards us. And then in the nineteen eighties, the

78
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: dad joke became a thing. It became a badge of uncoolness.

79
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: But here's the twist, the uncool became unstoppable. And now,

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: if you're fast forward to today, dad jokes are literally

81
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: a cultural phenomenon, their memes, their merchandise. They're the glue

82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: that binds generations. Why because in a world that's obsessed

83
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: with being edgy, dad jokes are just this beautiful, welcome

84
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: dose of wholesome, predictable humor. It's the comedy equivalent of

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: comfort food, and we cannot get enough so that is

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: my very brief history of dad jokes after doing I know.

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: You say we can't get enough, but I definitely had

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: my fast share.

89
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: You're so funny. Where is your sense of human Okay?

90
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Three dad jokes each, three dad jokes each. You go first.

91
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: The whole object is to get me to laugh. You go,

92
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: then me, then you, then me. Okay, I'm ready. You're

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: laughing and you haven't even killed any one yet. Let's

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: hear it.

95
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, natcha cheese, nutcha cheese that was that

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: was really bad, but your delivery got a really big

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: smile out of me.

99
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: You're harsh.

100
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: You want to hear my one?

101
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: No, not really.

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: I'm reading a book about anti gravity. It's impossible to

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: put down. You're trying to hold it in. I can

104
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: tell by the look on your face. Okay, go again.

105
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you call a person who never farts

106
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: in bubblo?

107
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're asking me a question. You call

108
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: a person who I'm laughing already and I haven't even

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: heard the answer.

110
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: A private tutor, A private tutor.

111
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: A private tutor. The question was funnier than the answer.

112
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I think you have to have an American accent for

113
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: that one. Not working for me. I told my wife

114
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

115
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: You're so bad. So good?

116
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: All right, come on, last one, last one? Yep? Do

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: you sound like you want to keep this going? All

118
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: of a sudden? Was the Sandwick because the sea weed?

119
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: I remember that one from when I was about eight.

120
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: I never heard that one. Okay, well, I have to

121
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: have another one because you already near that one.

122
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no.

123
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: I think the scarecrow went an award.

124
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: I was outstanding in its field, all right. Last one,

125
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: last one. I'm afraid for the calendar. It's days a number.

126
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: Boom boom.

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, gee, you literally cannot laugh at any of

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: my jokes. I think that's so funny. What about our ceilings?

129
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: You like our ceiling? I mean, I'm not saying it's

130
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: the best in the world, but sure is up there.

131
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Did you hear about the cheese that went to the gym?

132
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: It got shredded? I kept your day job, all right?

133
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: After break, we're going to talk about how you can

134
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: build connection with your kids. This Father's Day. All right, Kylie,

135
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: the jokes were a dismal failure, at least on my part.

136
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I thought I thought I picked some really good ones.

137
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: I really liked my dad jokes. You didn't like them

138
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: at all. Did you hear about the kidnapping at school?

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: What kind of dog come from the bathroom?

140
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Let's first to be talking about other stuff here, Boodle,

141
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh that's gross. Did you hear about the kidnapping at school?

142
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: It was?

143
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Okay? He woke up. You're laughing at that one? You

144
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: like that one?

145
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: No, I'm not laughing, all right.

146
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: So so stop reading. We're doing a podcast here. We

147
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: need to talk about building connection. We need to talk

148
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: about building connection with kids. I'm going to go over

149
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: a couple of things real quick. You can add some

150
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: color where you want. We're going to wrap this one

151
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: up nice and quickly, because we talk about connection all

152
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the time. First of all, definition connection means feeling seen,

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: hurt and valued. Okay, that's what we're looking for. How

154
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: do you build a relationship that feels connective, That is,

155
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: that feels like you and your children are both feeling seen,

156
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: hurt and valued in that relationship. Kids love to im

157
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: quality time together that is it, playing sports, going for hikes,

158
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: playing board games around the table or card games around

159
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: the table, cooking together, watching a movie and talking about

160
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: it afterwards. Playing push Dad off the bed, which is

161
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: what the kids have really started to enjoy with me lately,

162
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: when we used to play it years ago, and then

163
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: phones got in the way, and we've got rid of phones,

164
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, things are so much better.

165
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Quality time, Quality time, t Im. That's how love is spelt.

166
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: Just the other day, I was talking to her eldest, Chanelle,

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: who just acknowledged that.

168
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: And she's in her mid twenties now with her own

169
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: child and husband like living her life.

170
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: She actually just mentioned that she thinks that each of

171
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: her siblings, including herself, just crave time with you because

172
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: it's such it's almost a novelty. Mum is there all

173
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: the time, she's in the kitchen, she's you know, kind

174
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 2: of doing all of the running around a lot of

175
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: the time.

176
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: For it is worth I get in the kitchen and

177
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: just some running around as well. But your point is

178
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: that dads are often often less present than mums, not always,

179
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: but often less present mums.

180
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: And it just made me think about my experiences as

181
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: I was growing up and the acknowledgment that spending time

182
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: with dad was a novelty, but it was also the

183
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: thing that I longed for the most.

184
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: One of our friends, Rob, he passed away. I don't know,

185
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: like ten twelve years ago. Now he wasn't I think

186
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: he'd just reached fifty or he wasn't quite fifty. But

187
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: I remember distinctly. Rob used to make a point of

188
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch with nothing to do whenever he could, Like,

189
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: he just sit down on the couch in the living room.

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because he was lazy. It was because

191
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: he knew that the kids would walk through the living

192
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: room and see him there, and they'd come and sit

193
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: beside him and start talking. He didn't intrude on them,

194
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: but he made himself available. And because we're going back

195
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: that far, phones weren't really an issue, and so the

196
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: kids would they'd walk through the living room and see

197
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: him and say, oh hey, Dad, and he'd say watch

198
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: up to and then come and sit down and he'd

199
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: have that one on one time. He was just so present.

200
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: And I wrote about it in one of my books

201
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: because I was so impressed with that second thing emotional connection, listening,

202
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: actively listening, showing interest, asked him about their their friends,

203
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: their interests. I guess that's an extension of what I

204
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: was talking about with Rob. And the third and final

205
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: thing that I want to highlight. I mean, we could

206
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: talk about so many things outdoor adventures and family traditions

207
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: and just being involved in their lives and participating in

208
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: school assemblies and things. But the last thing that I

209
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: want to highlight kind of brings our podcast full circle,

210
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: and that is finding opportunities to laugh and have fun.

211
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: The more I've been thinking about this over the last

212
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: couple of months, following on from a seminar that I

213
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: ran where I was asked this question, how do I

214
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: connect better with my kids? There's all these really sensible answers,

215
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: but I feel like the best connections happen when we

216
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: just are enjoying one other's company, when we're laughing, when

217
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: we're telling bad jokes, when we're wrestling, when we're having fun,

218
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: when they're smiles in our faces, and we're just fully

219
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: in the moment, fully present.

220
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: I read an article recently and I shared it with you.

221
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: I can't remember where I read it or.

222
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: Even overload of information a lot.

223
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: Of all the details, but I do remember the acknowledgment

224
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: that the bonding that takes place between a mother and

225
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: child is that of a nurturing and as mothers nurture children,

226
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 2: you get this massive dose of oxytocin on both sides.

227
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: All that bonding.

228
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, But for dads and kids, it's not the nurturing

229
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: where they receive that oxytocin boost. It's when they have

230
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: fun together. It's that energy of coming together and laughing

231
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: and wrestling, and it's the physicality of that relationship that

232
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: increases the level of bond.

233
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: So as we head towards Father's Day this weekend, for

234
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: our Australian audience, at least, we really hope that there's

235
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: lots of laughter, there's lots of play, there's lots of bonding,

236
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,600
