Speaker 1: to myself.
Speaker 3: And you know, when you're not aware of the width
Speaker 3: of your own vehicle, when you're learning, you haven't got
Speaker 3: that kind of perception gid in yet. It's just and
Speaker 3: you can't overreact because if you overact, they overreact and
Speaker 3: it could be it actually could be deadly. You go
Speaker 3: down the Napean and I'm like, JESU Christ, we're drifting
Speaker 3: here out of this lane. Had anyone told us to
Speaker 3: stay in the goddamn lane? So I go, I go, hey,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're aware of it, but we're
Speaker 3: moving over to the right. Just stay in them. They're
Speaker 3: very visible markings. They've got all the way ahead of
Speaker 3: us as far as the cub and I can see anyway.
Speaker 3: I said, do you know what this car is? Filthy?
Speaker 3: Why don't we drive to the car wash? When I
Speaker 3: was in my dinner two things I love to doing,
Speaker 3: and now they're going on a tip run with it,
Speaker 3: old man or going to the car wash. So I
Speaker 3: took it to all of those proper car washes. Yes,
Speaker 3: I only ever do that love that they've got the
Speaker 3: nine stations you bang that time. It's like a game show,
Speaker 3: isn't it. I always want to do it in under
Speaker 3: two minutes. We've bet it in sub two. Yes, so
Speaker 3: it's very, very happy. My favorite part is the phone brush.
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's all the pink stuff. It smells
Speaker 3: like bubblegum. Yeah, I love that, love the phone brush.
Speaker 3: All right, Jackie boy, how's your week going? Six words?
Speaker 1: I need a babysitter Friday night, day night, date night.
Speaker 1: We've got a booking for a restaurant. We haven't been
Speaker 1: out together for a meal in ages.
Speaker 3: Oh lovely.
Speaker 1: Mom has gone on holiday with her sisters and she
Speaker 1: is our go to baby.
Speaker 3: She's telling you that she's just drawma shutters someone else
Speaker 3: in this city.
Speaker 1: And we really don't have a backup to Mum.
Speaker 3: You've got to get on.
Speaker 1: We've got to get sister before. But she's kind of
Speaker 1: like she didn't really feed him. She's like, I didn't really.
Speaker 3: So how how do you normally? You like, maybe on
Speaker 3: a Facebook group or a WhatsApp group, people know who
Speaker 3: are there aren't designated kids in the area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're.
Speaker 3: Still quite new. You only moved there a couple of
Speaker 3: months ago. You won't know who that is yet.
Speaker 1: Would it be weird to solicit for babysitters in my
Speaker 1: area for people who listened to the show.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's rarely but both of us Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, but it could be like a lovely old grandma
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 3: But you're better off finding someone who has references and
Speaker 3: maybe police checks as well.
Speaker 1: But how can you do all that before Fridays too,
Speaker 1: because there'd be organizations.
Speaker 2: And agencies you can, but I'm feeling very uneasy about
Speaker 2: this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Even the agencies is like, how do you really vet them?
Speaker 1: How do you know they were registered?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't have I have like references and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. People will know about this right now. Someone
Speaker 3: might have a daughter or son who is an experienced babysitter. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if you can probably maybe know it's a little bit
Speaker 3: of first aid and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: References You think the police check as well?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the agencies will insist on it. Yeah, which
Speaker 3: again cuts out ninety nine point number people listen to this,
Speaker 3: but some to.
Speaker 2: The age Jack where she could do it for you.
Speaker 1: Bring her around.
Speaker 2: She can't Friday night.
Speaker 1: She's got the production, isn't she? Twelve?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh no, she's very responsible.
Speaker 3: She's still watching Bloey at.
Speaker 2: That night, she's not watching Bluey.
Speaker 3: Didn't need his nappy change. It's a great episode of Bluey.
Speaker 3: He's after the fair again. As every third episode said,
Speaker 3: what is it fifty year old man watching it? I
Speaker 3: don't know. All right, Patsy, what's your six word?
Speaker 1: Weeks?
Speaker 2: So for yes, we need to talk about the carrots.
Speaker 2: So last night we had a very We were totally
Speaker 2: out of whack last night. We got home very late
Speaker 2: after production practice. It was like seven seven thirty.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. We eat it five, I mean almost midnight.
Speaker 1: They turned to public and you didn't take another day
Speaker 1: past day off.
Speaker 2: It felt like midnight. We hadn't even started dinner, so we.
Speaker 1: Had very basic when past seven cruse.
Speaker 2: We just had bangers and mash last night, but we
Speaker 2: had to cook the mash. And then I said, listen,
Speaker 2: we better give her some more, you know, some greens
Speaker 2: and some carrots. But I hate the way Chris does carrots.
Speaker 2: He refuses to peel the carrots, which I think is
Speaker 2: a bit crusty. So my my argument is that you've
Speaker 2: got to peel at least just a little bit of
Speaker 2: layer off because they've been handled at the set.
Speaker 3: Like muddy and stuff like that. But the old farmers filled.
Speaker 2: No, but yeah, you've got to you've got to peel it,
Speaker 2: but he gets rid of the nutrients.
Speaker 1: I don't peel a carrot.
Speaker 3: That is only due to laziness.
Speaker 1: Just give it a quick answer.
Speaker 3: Now, you don't go to a restaurant. They're all nobbly.
Speaker 2: No, and it's still got its hair up the top
Speaker 2: and the bit down the bottom.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, how do you know it's good for
Speaker 3: you laziness. You just don't want to peel them because
Speaker 3: they're fiddly and awkward, aren't they?
Speaker 2: They are? And then he refuses to cook them properly,
Speaker 2: so he likes them really really cra Yeah, you may
Speaker 2: as well just have a raw carrot.
