<v Speaker 3>a gear. I'm teaching the sixteen year old at the moment,

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 3>she's almost up to twenty hours, so you're still in

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 3>the very.

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 2>What is it now? One hundred and forty hundred and sixty.

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.000

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:52.479
<v Speaker 3>They don't do it the UK, but they should. It's

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 3>a brilliant idea. But finding that my I'm pit to

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 3>be doing more of the supervision than my wife, and

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 3>even if she was waving us off yesterday, I got

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 3>to think my wife was looking at me going just

0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>in case the last time I see you alive, remember

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 3>me fondly wife. All right, let's go and then my

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 3>daughter says, again, just remind me. The one on the

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 3>right is to make it go faster, the one next

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.559
<v Speaker 3>to it is to stop it. And went, what oh

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 3>my she did? Degree? How she she did very very well.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 3>But she's going along and she's all calm and relaxed,

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 3>and we're going down this two lange carriageway and she's

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 3>in control. She's five under the speed limits, so it's

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 3>all good. She goes, So you're very very relaxed. I

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I could when I have kids, if

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 3>I could do this way. Oh, you'd be surprised. You will,

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 3>you will, She says, Why are you so relaxed? I said, well, look,

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 3>I just I have to believe you have the same

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 3>goal here as me, as that neither of us want

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 3>to die today in this So you want to stay alive.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Your whole lives ahead of you, and I still like

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 3>life and would like to stay alive.

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>We know it may not again on everything. No, surely

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:57.559
<v Speaker 1>can get home today?

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Is that destination? We are grill how we get there?

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 3>And my words? So yesterday just stab but up actually

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>went on the freeway with her, took her on the

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Nepean Highway, with that man yesterday.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Well you even amploy the I don't like going down

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to myself.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 3>And you know, when you're not aware of the width

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 3>of your own vehicle, when you're learning, you haven't got

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>that kind of perception gid in yet. It's just and

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 3>you can't overreact because if you overact, they overreact and

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 3>it could be it actually could be deadly. You go

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 3>down the Napean and I'm like, JESU Christ, we're drifting

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 3>here out of this lane. Had anyone told us to

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 3>stay in the goddamn lane? So I go, I go, hey,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you're aware of it, but we're

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 3>moving over to the right. Just stay in them. They're

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 3>very visible markings. They've got all the way ahead of

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 3>us as far as the cub and I can see anyway.

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I said, do you know what this car is? Filthy?

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Why don't we drive to the car wash? When I

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 3>was in my dinner two things I love to doing,

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 3>and now they're going on a tip run with it,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>old man or going to the car wash. So I

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 3>took it to all of those proper car washes. Yes,

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 3>I only ever do that love that they've got the

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 3>nine stations you bang that time. It's like a game show,

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 3>isn't it. I always want to do it in under

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 3>two minutes. We've bet it in sub two. Yes, so

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 3>it's very, very happy. My favorite part is the phone brush.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's it's all the pink stuff. It smells

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 3>like bubblegum. Yeah, I love that, love the phone brush.

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 3>All right, Jackie boy, how's your week going? Six words?

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I need a babysitter Friday night, day night, date night.

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>We've got a booking for a restaurant. We haven't been

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.679
<v Speaker 1>out together for a meal in ages.

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh lovely.

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Mom has gone on holiday with her sisters and she

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 1>is our go to baby.

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>She's telling you that she's just drawma shutters someone else

0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>in this city.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And we really don't have a backup to Mum.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>You've got to get on.

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>We've got to get sister before. But she's kind of

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>like she didn't really feed him. She's like, I didn't really.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 3>So how how do you normally? You like, maybe on

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 3>a Facebook group or a WhatsApp group, people know who

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>are there aren't designated kids in the area.

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're.

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 3>Still quite new. You only moved there a couple of

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 3>months ago. You won't know who that is yet.

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Would it be weird to solicit for babysitters in my

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>area for people who listened to the show.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, it's rarely but both of us Yeah, yeah.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, but it could be like a lovely old grandma

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>for sure.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>But you're better off finding someone who has references and

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 3>maybe police checks as well.

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>But how can you do all that before Fridays too,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>because there'd be organizations.

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>And agencies you can, but I'm feeling very uneasy about

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Even the agencies is like, how do you really vet them?

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>How do you know they were registered?

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I don't have I have like references and stuff

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 3>like that. People will know about this right now. Someone

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 3>might have a daughter or son who is an experienced babysitter. Yeah,

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 3>if you can probably maybe know it's a little bit

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 3>of first aid and stuff like that.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.039
<v Speaker 1>References You think the police check as well?

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, the agencies will insist on it. Yeah, which

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 3>again cuts out ninety nine point number people listen to this,

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:00.279
<v Speaker 3>but some to.

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>The age Jack where she could do it for you.

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Bring her around.

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 2>She can't Friday night.

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>She's got the production, isn't she? Twelve?

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh no, she's very responsible.

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 3>She's still watching Bloey at.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 2>That night, she's not watching Bluey.

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.479
<v Speaker 3>Didn't need his nappy change. It's a great episode of Bluey.

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 3>He's after the fair again. As every third episode said,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 3>what is it fifty year old man watching it? I

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 3>don't know. All right, Patsy, what's your six word?

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Weeks?

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So for yes, we need to talk about the carrots.

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>So last night we had a very We were totally

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 2>out of whack last night. We got home very late

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>after production practice. It was like seven seven thirty.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god. We eat it five, I mean almost midnight.

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 1>They turned to public and you didn't take another day

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>past day off.

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.840
<v Speaker 2>It felt like midnight. We hadn't even started dinner, so we.

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Had very basic when past seven cruse.

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 2>We just had bangers and mash last night, but we

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 2>had to cook the mash. And then I said, listen,

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 2>we better give her some more, you know, some greens

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>and some carrots. But I hate the way Chris does carrots.

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>He refuses to peel the carrots, which I think is

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a bit crusty. So my my argument is that you've

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 2>got to peel at least just a little bit of

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>layer off because they've been handled at the set.

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Like muddy and stuff like that. But the old farmers filled.

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>No, but yeah, you've got to you've got to peel it,

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>but he gets rid of the nutrients.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't peel a carrot.

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 3>That is only due to laziness.

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Just give it a quick answer.

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Now, you don't go to a restaurant. They're all nobbly.

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>No, and it's still got its hair up the top

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.799
<v Speaker 2>and the bit down the bottom.

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, how do you know it's good for

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 3>you laziness. You just don't want to peel them because

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 3>they're fiddly and awkward, aren't they?

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 2>They are? And then he refuses to cook them properly,

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.800
<v Speaker 2>so he likes them really really cra Yeah, you may

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>as well just have a raw carrot.

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 3>This is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast
