Speaker 3: They don't do it the UK, but they should. It's

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: a brilliant idea. But finding that my I'm pit to

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: be doing more of the supervision than my wife, and

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: even if she was waving us off yesterday, I got

22
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: to think my wife was looking at me going just

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: in case the last time I see you alive, remember

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,600

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: daughter says, again, just remind me. The one on the

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: right is to make it go faster, the one next

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 3: to it is to stop it. And went, what oh

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: my she did? Degree? How she she did very very well.

29
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: But she's going along and she's all calm and relaxed,

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: and we're going down this two lange carriageway and she's

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: in control. She's five under the speed limits, so it's

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: all good. She goes, So you're very very relaxed. I

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: don't know if I could when I have kids, if

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: I could do this way. Oh, you'd be surprised. You will,

35
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 3: you will, She says, Why are you so relaxed? I said, well, look,

Speaker 3: I just I have to believe you have the same

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,759

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: Is that destination? We are grill how we get there?

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: Nepean Highway, with that man yesterday.

47
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Well you even amploy the I don't like going down

48
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: to myself.

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: And you know, when you're not aware of the width

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: of your own vehicle, when you're learning, you haven't got

51
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 3: that kind of perception gid in yet. It's just and

52
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: you can't overreact because if you overact, they overreact and

53
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 3: it could be it actually could be deadly. You go

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: down the Napean and I'm like, JESU Christ, we're drifting

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 3: here out of this lane. Had anyone told us to

56
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 3: stay in the goddamn lane? So I go, I go, hey,

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're aware of it, but we're

58
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: moving over to the right. Just stay in them. They're

59
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: very visible markings. They've got all the way ahead of

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: us as far as the cub and I can see anyway.

61
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: I said, do you know what this car is? Filthy?

62
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: Why don't we drive to the car wash? When I

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: was in my dinner two things I love to doing,

64
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 3: and now they're going on a tip run with it,

65
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: old man or going to the car wash. So I

66
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: took it to all of those proper car washes. Yes,

67
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 3: I only ever do that love that they've got the

68
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: nine stations you bang that time. It's like a game show,

69
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: isn't it. I always want to do it in under

70
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: two minutes. We've bet it in sub two. Yes, so

71
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: it's very, very happy. My favorite part is the phone brush.

72
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's all the pink stuff. It smells

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: like bubblegum. Yeah, I love that, love the phone brush.

74
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: All right, Jackie boy, how's your week going? Six words?

75
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: I need a babysitter Friday night, day night, date night.

76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: We've got a booking for a restaurant. We haven't been

77
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: out together for a meal in ages.

78
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: Oh lovely.

79
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Mom has gone on holiday with her sisters and she

80
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: is our go to baby.

81
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: She's telling you that she's just drawma shutters someone else

82
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: in this city.

83
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: And we really don't have a backup to Mum.

84
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: You've got to get on.

85
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: We've got to get sister before. But she's kind of

86
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: like she didn't really feed him. She's like, I didn't really.

87
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: So how how do you normally? You like, maybe on

88
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: a Facebook group or a WhatsApp group, people know who

89
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: are there aren't designated kids in the area.

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're.

91
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: Still quite new. You only moved there a couple of

92
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: months ago. You won't know who that is yet.

93
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Would it be weird to solicit for babysitters in my

94
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: area for people who listened to the show.

95
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's rarely but both of us Yeah, yeah.

96
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: Okay, but it could be like a lovely old grandma

97
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: for sure.

98
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: But you're better off finding someone who has references and

99
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: maybe police checks as well.

100
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: But how can you do all that before Fridays too,

101
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: because there'd be organizations.

102
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: And agencies you can, but I'm feeling very uneasy about

103
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: this whole thing.

104
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Even the agencies is like, how do you really vet them?

105
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: How do you know they were registered?

106
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't have I have like references and stuff

107
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: like that. People will know about this right now. Someone

108
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: might have a daughter or son who is an experienced babysitter. Yeah,

109
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: if you can probably maybe know it's a little bit

110
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: of first aid and stuff like that.

111
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: References You think the police check as well?

112
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the agencies will insist on it. Yeah, which

113
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: again cuts out ninety nine point number people listen to this,

114
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: but some to.

115
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: The age Jack where she could do it for you.

116
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: Bring her around.

117
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: She can't Friday night.

118
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: She's got the production, isn't she? Twelve?

119
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, she's very responsible.

120
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 3: She's still watching Bloey at.

121
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: That night, she's not watching Bluey.

122
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 3: Didn't need his nappy change. It's a great episode of Bluey.

123
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: He's after the fair again. As every third episode said,

124
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: what is it fifty year old man watching it? I

125
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: don't know. All right, Patsy, what's your six word?

126
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Weeks?

127
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: So for yes, we need to talk about the carrots.

128
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: So last night we had a very We were totally

129
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: out of whack last night. We got home very late

130
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: after production practice. It was like seven seven thirty.

131
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god. We eat it five, I mean almost midnight.

132
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: They turned to public and you didn't take another day

133
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: past day off.

134
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: It felt like midnight. We hadn't even started dinner, so we.

135
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Had very basic when past seven cruse.

136
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: We just had bangers and mash last night, but we

137
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: had to cook the mash. And then I said, listen,

138
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: we better give her some more, you know, some greens

139
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: and some carrots. But I hate the way Chris does carrots.

140
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: He refuses to peel the carrots, which I think is

141
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: a bit crusty. So my my argument is that you've

142
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: got to peel at least just a little bit of

143
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: layer off because they've been handled at the set.

144
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: Like muddy and stuff like that. But the old farmers filled.

145
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: No, but yeah, you've got to you've got to peel it,

146
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: but he gets rid of the nutrients.

147
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't peel a carrot.

148
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: That is only due to laziness.

149
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Just give it a quick answer.

150
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: Now, you don't go to a restaurant. They're all nobbly.

151
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: No, and it's still got its hair up the top

152
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 2: and the bit down the bottom.

153
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: No, no, no, how do you know it's good for

154
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: you laziness. You just don't want to peel them because

155
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: they're fiddly and awkward, aren't they?

156
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: They are? And then he refuses to cook them properly,

157
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,800
