With Kate Rick podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the podcast Guys special episode We Got Her.
She's the mum of all moms, Maggie Dent. I love

I doing okay as a parent? And how would I
handle this? And what would I do if this was
to happen. Maggie has your answers, child psychologist author. She's
the ultimate parent and expert. And if you've got a question,
tom you I mean, you've had all sorts of issues
(00:28):
nothing to do with your kids in general. Maggie can't
help with any of them. To let everybody know that
you've still got issues is We'll focus on those in
the next podcast. But thank you Maggie Dent. Here for
all those good parents.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Soon.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This is the Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast. Hey Fitz,
I want to talk about this one cravings. Can I
just ask a quick question the Aldie snack stand that's
arrived in the studio? Mage, who puts a snack stand
next to the snack man? It's just an obvious mistake, Tommy.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, but a wonderful mistake.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I've just been smashing grapes covered in good all morning.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
We have usually bars. We do have fruit there as well,
so you have some great options. And thank you very
much for Audi for put and to watch him go
back and forth.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, this is why I want to talk about what's
called urge surfing fits and they talk about urges. Whatever
your urge might be, whether you're an overspender or maybe
you're a gambler, you eat bad food, or whatever it
might be. Let's take chocolate for example. Okay, because everybody
did it over Easter and they reckon, there's another Easter
egg in it, I'll have a go. Urge surfing is
the way they describe the urge, and there's some techniques
(01:51):
so you can control your urges. So they call it
urge surfing because you need to actually pitch the urge
like a wave. It builds, it builds, it builds, the
wave crashes, hits the shore, and then it's gone. So
you need to be able to surf through the urge.
So the first thing there says, recognize the urge. Okay,
so I'm sitting there, I'm looking at an Easter egg.
(02:12):
I can feel the urge. They then say, name the
urge chocky edge, choky egg urge. Right, So I'm still
looking at the egg, So the urge is still there,
but I've named it, so I've recognized it. Your next thing,
next thing to do is prepare for the wave. So
I'm still looking at it. I've given it a name,
the egg urge, and I'm going to prepare for it.
(02:34):
So I brace myself. Maybe I put my hands out
in the chair as I'm staring at a table or
a bowl full of eggs. And then you need to
let the urge run its course, let that wave crash.
Shut your eyes and picture the urge crashing like a
wave and then dissolving into the sand. Get up and
move yourself away from the egg.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Well, if you're I mean, if we're talking chocolate chocolate,
you'd have to be the killing slater, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
In your You're right up seven times world champ. So, Tommy,
if I go blank in any of the meetings, I'm
just going I'm urged surf. Here we go, right, I'm
talking myself through an urge.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Your nique name around here is turds actually, so it's
very similar.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't want a turd surf. I'm not done a
bondig with a BONDI cigar.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
This is the fits and with her with Kate Richie
podcast tell You what it Feels A bit warmer and
cozy're in the studio.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I know I'm comforted because brand new episode season two
of Maggie Dan's podcast, The Good Enough Dad is out now,
Episode one with Larry and I love that. Maggie Dent
welcome and j guys in.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Sydney, mug She's just the best. Can I kick this off?
I was listening to a podcast the other day.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
There was a guy, Maggie by the name, and it's
the environment that kids have around at home and do
you know what? We're talking about kids all the time
with you, But there's different parenting styles that I've never
really thought about before. This guy was called a Lane
de Botan is his name. He has a master's in
philosophy and he was talking about environments at home.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But have a listened to this.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Children come into the world and all of us are
honed by nature to figure out what do I need
to do here to survive? In some families you need
to excel academically. In some families, you need to fail academically.
In some families, you need to be very witty, in
some families, you need to be invisible. Why would you
fail in some families? Well, the classic one is parental envy.
(04:28):
Some parents are hugely envious of their own children, and
they cannot bear that their child, who they've put on
the earth should be happier than they've managed to be.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
This blew me away. Have you seen cases of this,
this parental envy?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Look, I have to say that that that can be
a thing. And when I've worked with teenagers over the years,
sometimes the pressure from their parents for their academic grades
is so like debilitating because they know if they don't
get that A, the A plus when they go home,
they just you know that you're not loved right there.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You let everyone down.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
Parental disappointment is it's like a knife in their heart.
And yet sometimes parents I'm in where they're doing it.
They're thinking, I'm encouraging you, and I'm you know, giving
you that motivation and I'm telling you to aim high.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But sometimes it doesn't land that way with a with
a kid.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
And it another really difficult one is and you know,
because we're doing to talk about dads, the dad that's
into rugby and into sport and into watching.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Wrestling, and then he has a boy he likes music.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
He can also struggle in that space because he's just
not in the you know, I feel like I let
my dad down. And I've actually shared so many stories
with boys around that that I'm a failure for my dad.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Right, It's a tough one because you know that this
is the other one. And we've spoken about this so
many times, Maggie about well, it's just, you know, like
my son, he loves football, but he also loves these
video games. We talk about video games with you all
the time and how much time he actually gets on there.
But I actually see the joy in his face, Maggie
when he plays it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And now we had a no video game policy at home.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
That's completely changed now because I can see the joy
that he gets out when he's on there with his mates.
It's just a matter of pulling it back. But I
just said to my wife, we can't deny this because
he loves it so much.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
So one of the things we know about boys particularly
is they're hunting dopamine, Right, They're hunting that really good
neurochemical It makes you feel freaking amazing, right, Well, they
don't all of them get it. At school because quite
often I've got to sit longer than they want to
and the stuff's boring and they don't think it's going
to be Trust me, I taught ear nine boys who
really thought writing an essay was a waste of time
because I'm going to play football for Australia. But what
(06:39):
happens when they're video gaming, it's instance shots of dopamine
when they're doing it their mates. The second thing that
teenagers particularly want and boys want is connection with friends.
And so you're filling the connection cup. You're filling this
competence company am I getting better and better? And you're
filling the fun cup And so it's not a bad
thing at all. But what we've got to make sure
is they're not in it all night. And then also
(07:02):
that their language doesn't escalate, because that's one of the
things parents say.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Sometimes they hear this horrible.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Language coming out of their room that happens and going
that's not my son. But when we pull them back
up on that, saying if you want to keep playing,
you know, then that sort of language has got to stop.
So once again it's not all harmful, but we've got
to make sure we've got boundaries around it?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Can I ask Maggie back to the point you made fits?
And I think this is one thing as a parent
I'm trying to work out quite often with my kids.
Where's the line of me being a constructive dad in
supporting a child and encouraging them to do something, and
then me forcing them past the point where they're not interested?
(07:45):
So how do I know when I go from hey,
you're going to play this sport and you're going to
do that, to do you know what, maybe that kid
doesn't want to do that sport? Where do you stop?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (07:55):
Look, that's one of the biggest parenting dilemmas, isn't it
That we and I'll keep on saying to parents when
your kid comes home and wants to sign up for
you know, soccer or netbook as all their friends are,
and then week three they don't want to go again.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
You paid my house with typewan do uniforms books?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So straight off to say.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
That marketplace, same sort of thing, like, we do want
to encourage them to stretch and grow, and sometimes they
want to go because their friends are doing it, But
we really do need to know that sometimes too much.
And I think we're over scheduling today's children, no question,
We've got far too much on and then they're exhausted
and tired, and then we wonder where they get grumpy.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That is really interesting. Thirteen twenty four to ten. Maggie
Dannis in the studio. If you've got any questions, as
you want to ask, you know, she's good, you know
what the topic is, Get involved and give us a call.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
This is the Fitsy and with Her with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Maggie dandas here in the studio with us and the
podcast The Good Enough Dad. I love this, Maggie, because
you do talk to all sorts of different dads. And
one of the great parts of this podcast is when
you ask about fails. Oh man, dad, fils.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
So beautiful because we wanted to normalize that there's no
perfect and parenting or stuff. Dads can often take these
things really rarely personally, like I've mucked up, and then
they want to, you know, they really want to beat
themselves up because you've got to look at them. Boys
and men's worth off and comes from what I do
good and I give myself self worth. So when I've
mucked up, I feel really really bad.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You share the guys about because this is a beauty
and I just.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
Kind of had guy up there as you know, this
amazing human and he just opened up so beautifully. When
I asked for the dad far he burst out laughing,
said I've got a really good one. Make it probably
is the best of two seasons. So we know he's
got a place down in Girola, which is not far
from me, and he's got a tinny down there, so
quite often they go out and get some squid Easter
weekend picture it and Archie, his youngest sons, are at
(09:48):
the front of the boat and he said on you know,
getting going out and the people everywhere, of course, and
he said, and as I went to jump in, I've
actually knocked the tiller on the boat and I've ended
in the water and the boat's taken off doing loops right. Oh,
And of course his son's screaming out, da da Dad,
and he said, don't jump, don't jump, because he's worried
about the propeller.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And each time the boat came around, he had a
duck so he didn't get his bits cut off. And
then he says, eventually I've worked out which way it's going.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
I've got you to jump off, got him to shore,
and then I'm out there trying all these attempts to
get it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Eventually gets in the boat and.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Quietly brings it back, and I just thought he said
his son keeps saying, no, Dad, don't want to go
get this scud.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I've scarred for life on that.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
But don't you think it's just a beautiful horus accident
to a moment that you thought was going to be
a treasured.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Memory that went absolutely that often the fails are the
treasured memories.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Just hearing you speak there, I'm like, oh God, I
remember my dad took it upon himself to treat me
to a haircut, and what ensued just has gone down
in family folklore. I went into the salon as a
as an average ten year old, and I came out
looking like like the queen on a coin. I had
(11:03):
this like a playdough old lady head. And I'm sure
that he beat himself up over that. But you know,
that's become one of our greatest hysterical memories together.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Yeah, I have a.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Pretty big one that only farm kids would have. So
when a sheep's fly blow and you use these clippers
to cut it off, and then you spraying with stuff
that kills all the maggots and everything. And I'm holding
the sheet for dad right with my wellies on, and
as he's cutting, all these.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Maggots are going into my boot, and.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
I'm sitting there thinking, oh, right, in a moment, I
got a walk and it was some one of those moments.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
What would my dad want me to do?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
And I've just thought I can do this and just
walked off and just squash all the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Magic boots that I thought.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
I told my dad later, and he just gave me
a big wink, like, that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why have you not had the nickname Maggot Dent?
Speaker 8 (11:52):
And I also wrote a poem once called Maggots and
the new teacher nearly fainted because she was a city
girl and she really didn't get the quite Maggie's.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
In the Boots by Maggie?
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Do you remember any of the of the stanzas from Maggiets?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That is Allison from a grassiell. Hello Allison, Hi guys,
how are you? I'm Maggie Live with Maggie. What is
your question?
Speaker 10 (12:17):
My question is is probably a little bit of a
long winded one, but my daughter seems to second guess
herself in tasks that she's more than capable of doing. So,
for example, we do little athletics. She's a good runner,
did really well last season. It was her first season,
and so when it comes to the long distance straight away,
she's like, I can't do it. She starts getting a stitch,
(12:39):
all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 11 (12:41):
You know.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
We do the positive reinforcement, and it's the same thing
like her academics, like particularly mats. She starts sort of
stressing out and sort of getting upset with herself before
she's even attempted.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
What do you do, MEGANE.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Now it's really really common, remember, really really common. So
one of the things I'm going to say sound a
bit weir.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We're in a bit weird.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
But what I want you to do, because I've worked
in this space for years as a counselor, is I
want her the last thing she does at night and
the first thing is morning. In the morning, she's going
to visualize herself nailing it, like getting those test results.
She's going to see herself running like the wind. The
more times that she does that vividly, the brain thinks
she's already done it, so it tends to move the
doubt and.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The self doubt away.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
And there's a visualization on my website called accepting Myself,
which is a neurolinguistic programming technique where they see a
big white screen and they watch themselves confident because they
run a video in their head and we need to
turn that video off, and the sooner we turn it off.
So I use it with all my classrooms when I
was still teaching it, and oh my gosh, you should
have seen the difference in the grade.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
So I love that.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
You can't talk them out of a mindset or a
belief or a pattern, but we're going to change the video.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
In the mind.
Speaker 9 (13:51):
And I think that comes from I've got three kids
as well, ranging from sixteen to twelve, and I have
seen that exact thing happening. I can't I can't do it.
And I think there's so much pressure to be the
best at everything. And I just say to my kids
that really, it is about the journey.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It's about having a crack.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
It's exciting about the best. I don't expect you to
be the best. I'm not the best at anything. Nobody
and I knows the best at anything, but gosh, it's fun.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
To have a go, celebrate effort, Always celebrate effort, get
up and have a go, even if we've got no
chance of winning.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
They're the messages that just quickly Maggie, girls and boys difference.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
At what age should they start?
Speaker 12 (14:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, but what mental resilience?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
At what age do they start getting a bit of
mental resilience and they and they start pushing back?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Look, they can they can develop that at any point
in their whole life journey, because what resilience really is
is that I can come across things that challenge me
or that are adversity or difficulty, and I have an
ability to push through.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Because I've experienced it.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
This is one of the reasons I keep saying your
kids are supposed to fall out of trees. They're supposed
to fall over, they're supposed to not to get one
prize in past the parcel, because we're wanting them to
get used to moments that are difficult so that we
can go through it. So the more times they deal
with those, the soon that that happens, regardless of gender.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Gotcha, And that's a really.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
Important message for us not to keep rescuing our kids.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
So Truemelian Blackson your question for Maggie Dent Hi.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
I have a question regarding taking my children to the shop.
I have a three year old who always ends up
wanting a lolly and if I say no, he then
has a complete melt down. My question is do I
just cave in and just buy one each time? Do
I deal with it there at the shops and talk
to him about it, or do I just take him
home and have that discussion with him later.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
All right, so of course he wants a lolly, what
who doesn't. I'd still like one two if I went
and I'm seventy. What I'm going to suggest to you
is that before you get out of the car you're
going to you're going to have a little chat to
him and say when we there's only these days of
the week. And of course he's not going to know
those days, is he? But Monday, Wednesday, Friday, if you
know we've not been really awful to my mum and
(16:00):
drawn lipstick on the wall and things, there will be
a lolly treat when I go shopping. Right, And then
you pull up in the car park and you go,
what day is it?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Today?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Is this day?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So it is a treat day. Today is Tuesday, no
treat day.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
So we go okay with that, not today, But if
we have a tantrum about today.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Then there won't be one tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
And it might sound really but they learn okay, So
you're not banning forever, because if you're banned forever, I'm
going to get upset too because I like my chocolate.
But so we actually setting him up to now not
to be able to predict what are the days that
he can look forward to going to you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Plus the other thing is, yeah, leave him with someone else.
We go shopping.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Super buggedy year.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, Scott in Scofielder question for Maggie Dent.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Here you're going good?
Speaker 14 (16:47):
What question is my nine year old boy? He's quite
nervous and shy even round strangers. But then with people
that we go, we'll be out of supporting events and
things like that. Talk to him for your boys contacts
and I just want to know what's the best way
to support him or how do I get about it? Shelf, Well, it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Sounds like he's a lamb.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
So lambs are less brave, and you know they've turned
up less brave, less fearless. But I'm going to give
you a couple of things that really can help in
that space is your practice at home. So your roleplay
situations with him like he's a stranger and put on
some weird o face mask or something and say so mate,
how are you going? You know, you actually practice the things.
It's a bit like what I said before about the
(17:27):
video and the head to build his confidence at being able,
you practice like heck, so you can you know, all
everyone in the house can play. And bottom line, he
becomes an adult sometimes and you're the child and you
can mimic how he might be a bit reluctant. But
we also so there's another strategy I used with a
lot of shy children early on, and they had to
have had to pick out some undies that were their
(17:48):
brave undies awesome so bright red, bright yellow, whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And so there were days.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
When they were going to be going out that potentially
they might meet people they're not so sure at.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
They had to wear their brave.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
Undies, their fun undies, whatever you want to call it,
because it sort of makes them feel a little braver
on the inside and it's a bit of fun. But
what I do want to say is don't ever force
him like because when we force a child whoo's a
little bit shy and anxious that we set them up
for a whole lifetime full of dread. So we've got
to make sure we allow them to be Yes, stay
with me until you're safe. It's quite often in circle
(18:21):
of security. It's a brilliant parenting program. Our kids want
to stay close to the safest person and venture a
little bit and then come back. And then you're gratually
helping him go a little bit further each time, so
that you know he will gradually develop that capacity later.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
And Maggie, would you agree with me here because I've
got a couple of shy kids and I sort of
and I'm not shy. And I sort of realized early
on when I got this shy child out of nowhere
that me trying to encourage them. I feel like I
(18:58):
was coming from a good place because you know, interacting
with human beings is the greatest joy in my life,
and I wanted them to have that too. When I
realized that me talking about it kind of got lost
in translation. I was saying, this is a great way
to be Try this, try that, But what they're hearing
(19:19):
is you're not good enough the way you are.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
You're actually failing as you are, You're dead right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I know, best intentions in the world. Welcome to the
tricky part of parenting.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
So now I just say, you're either a shy person
or you're going through a shy phase.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Let's see where it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And it's perfectly normal.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Celebrate those ones. Celebrate the lambs and the roosters.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, let's take one more called Leah and Harrington Park.
Your question for Maggie Dent Lea.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
Oh, good morning, Maggie.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Thanks.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
I just wanted to know. I've got a fifteen year
old son and I've been a fan of yours for
oh well, since he was conceived. To be honest, it
was him, and he's not a fan. I kind of
I'm showering, he gets hygiene.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Yeah yeah, okay, so this is really really company.
Speaker 13 (20:06):
Now.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
The weirdest thing about our tween and teen boys is
I actually don't realize they smell. Oh I'm in a
classroom full of them, right and I'm nearly passing out
and not one of them notices that there's this body
odor in the room. They don't smell it. So they
want to say, look, why should I bother? Because a
I don't smell and there's no skin on my jocks, Like,
what's the point of saving water?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, So I don't know if you can try this one.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
I did it with my four year olds some because
he was decided he didn't want to shower in bath anymore.
So I tried the incentivizing. You know, of course it's
not going to work with a fifteen year old boy.
But what I said to him at one point I
sat with him and said, you know, mummy doesn't have
a penis. But you know, if I didn't, I didn't
wash it. I reckon, I go moldy and fall off.
He was in the shower like a flash. At the
(20:52):
end of the day. I'd probably come with you know
that sort of thing that if you don't look after
your peters.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It'll fall could get a bit rotten and.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Still still yeah, the more you nag, the less it's
going to shower.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Hasn't a made thank you mate on that to wash I've.
Speaker 1 (21:15):

on the nose?

Speaker 9 (21:24):
If anybody said to me you stir I so offended,
all right, so let me have it sort of Chip.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
It's such a crazy thing because of course I had
housefuls of boys.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
They all bought their mates and ate me out of
house and home.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
But you know what, the mother of one of your
son's mates is the person who drops the truth bomb.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Because while you're in my house there was a boy.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Oh my god, and I said, mate, I'm going to
take your home, so I can't have that really off.
Speaker 1 (21:50):

bo on? Yeah, no, worries.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
His mum's been trying to nag the hell out of
him because he really likes coming to my house.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm not his mother, and he knows I like him.
He goes up, but you know.

Ryan James.
Speaker 3 (27:55):

no no.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Do you know live the live golf to me? So
these golfers are worth an absolute fortune. And there's a company, right,
and what they do They hire amazing houses and then
they have these parties in the houses and the golfers,
after playing golf all day go back there. They have
a few old dervs, they have a couple of champagnes,
and they have the sponsors there.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
So there are companies out there that actually.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Do this, right. So they were looking at looking for houses.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Well, yeah, they said, do you know anyone that's got
a house?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Can I tell you about a really weird phone call
I got not long ago. I'm sitting at home phone rings.
I look at the phone, says Dickie Wilkins, and here
we go.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Which phone was a second or third pone.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I think was his fifth and he was in his
second pool at the time, the afternoon pool that he
doesn't have the permit for. Anyway, I answer the phone
and he goes, hey, mate, can we talk? And I said, yeah,
what's going on? Dickie? He said, I'm here with someone
and I can't tell you who I'm here with. Okay,
I love these games. So he goes, is there any
(29:05):
chance that a well known celebrity could possibly look to
rent out your house a little bit later on in
the air and I all right, well, just tell me
how you're talking about to start with, yeah, you gotta know,
and he goes, let's just say there's more than one
dick calling right now. I'm here with Richard Marx's the
two dicks.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
That's a hazard in itself.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Oh Marxie, we saw him at the walk Ward. Do
you know what would have happened though as well?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Dicky would have moved in with Richard Marx.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, with out of doubt.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
He would have gone, well, you're there, Richard, I'll just
move in with your news one of Whipper's rooms as well.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
If that's okay, I mean, Richard, just remember the catchphrase though,
if it's legal, make it happen. We'll see you on
Binge's brand new show, Billion Dollar Playground, The.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
Fid And with Kate Richie Podcast and Whipper with Kate

Women's Stay of Origin starts tonight, Exclusive Life and Free
on nine and nine now your home of free footage.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
And so it begins. Oh man, what a journey this
will be. Kicks off tonight.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Cannot wait to watch this on Channel nine, and one
man who has represented his state so many times and
brought it home for us is the magnificent Freddy Fitler,
Freddy well Forday, Betty, we're far he's there.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
No, not at the moment.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
But no, she's not here at the moment. Yeah no,
but he's there.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, not at the moment.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
But no, she's not here at the moment we've been
Yeah no, but Freddie. Actually, do you know what I
did the other day just to support you, and Andrew Johns,
is that I walked off the show with twenty one
minutes to go. This is what WHEP If you don't know,
Andrew John's walked off the broadcast the other day because
he's so disgusted with the sinbins that are happening in
(31:01):
the NRL at the moment.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Are you at that point as well, Freddy? Will you
walk off?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
No?
Speaker 15 (31:07):
I walk off? It was interesting watching Andrew in the
corner having a little stock just hilarious. Couldn't control himself,
just couldn't can Yeah, well he could actually just sat there.
He dropped the mic and he didn't look at anyone
and didn't speak for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I still got mad.
Speaker 15 (31:23):
I just added my eye added a little bit to
staid of the invoice because it's the extra workover lifting.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Freddy, Yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Is ridiculous, Freddy. Are you really worried about the game
and where it's going.
Speaker 15 (31:37):
Well, there's a lot going on, I think in all sports,
especially contact sports. I think everyone's nervous about concussions and
you know the consequences of them. So I feel like
they try to be proactive and they have been, but
every now and then they just go a bit far.
I think, I don't know whereas people not understanding the
game and how accidents and happen and the way they
(32:01):
defend now and you just got to be you gotta
be careful, you to understand the place. You got to
be sympathetic towards them because there's a situation the signs
one where you know he's standing there and the bloke's
running full piled out again, You've got a decision or
to move out of the road and you lose your
job or you hold your ground. And that's what he did,
(32:22):
and he's got two weeks with uh. They've come out
and said that they have got it wrong. They went
too fast, So you know they're really under the spotlight
this week at Magic Round with us every games in
the one spot, but they're going about other ways to
change in the lod with bunker and having more consistent
people in the bunker from a point of view of
(32:42):
less and trying to find the best. So they're definitely
realized they've made an error and they're moving on.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Pretty Where are you at the moment, morning walk or

(00:28):

you've still got issues is We'll focus on those in
the next podcast. But thank you Maggie Dent. Here for
all those good parents.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Soon.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This is the Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast. Hey Fitz,
I want to talk about this one cravings. Can I
just ask a quick question the Aldie snack stand that's
arrived in the studio? Mage, who puts a snack stand
next to the snack man? It's just an obvious mistake, Tommy.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, but a wonderful mistake.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I've just been smashing grapes covered in good all morning.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
We have usually bars. We do have fruit there as well,
so you have some great options. And thank you very
much for Audi for put and to watch him go
back and forth.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, this is why I want to talk about what's
called urge surfing fits and they talk about urges. Whatever
your urge might be, whether you're an overspender or maybe
you're a gambler, you eat bad food, or whatever it
might be. Let's take chocolate for example. Okay, because everybody
did it over Easter and they reckon, there's another Easter
egg in it, I'll have a go. Urge surfing is
the way they describe the urge, and there's some techniques
(01:51):
so you can control your urges. So they call it
urge surfing because you need to actually pitch the urge
like a wave. It builds, it builds, it builds, the
wave crashes, hits the shore, and then it's gone. So
you need to be able to surf through the urge.
So the first thing there says, recognize the urge. Okay,
so I'm sitting there, I'm looking at an Easter egg.
(02:12):
I can feel the urge. They then say, name the
urge chocky edge, choky egg urge. Right, So I'm still
looking at the egg, So the urge is still there,
but I've named it, so I've recognized it. Your next thing,
next thing to do is prepare for the wave. So
I'm still looking at it. I've given it a name,
the egg urge, and I'm going to prepare for it.
(02:34):
So I brace myself. Maybe I put my hands out
in the chair as I'm staring at a table or
a bowl full of eggs. And then you need to
let the urge run its course, let that wave crash.
Shut your eyes and picture the urge crashing like a
wave and then dissolving into the sand. Get up and
move yourself away from the egg.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Well, if you're I mean, if we're talking chocolate chocolate,
you'd have to be the killing slater, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
In your You're right up seven times world champ. So, Tommy,
if I go blank in any of the meetings, I'm
just going I'm urged surf. Here we go, right, I'm
talking myself through an urge.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Your nique name around here is turds actually, so it's
very similar.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't want a turd surf. I'm not done a
bondig with a BONDI cigar.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
This is the fits and with her with Kate Richie
podcast tell You what it Feels A bit warmer and
cozy're in the studio.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I know I'm comforted because brand new episode season two
of Maggie Dan's podcast, The Good Enough Dad is out now,
Episode one with Larry and I love that. Maggie Dent
welcome and j guys in.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Sydney, mug She's just the best. Can I kick this off?
I was listening to a podcast the other day.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
There was a guy, Maggie by the name, and it's
the environment that kids have around at home and do
you know what? We're talking about kids all the time
with you, But there's different parenting styles that I've never
really thought about before. This guy was called a Lane
de Botan is his name. He has a master's in
philosophy and he was talking about environments at home.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
But have a listened to this.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Children come into the world and all of us are
honed by nature to figure out what do I need
to do here to survive? In some families you need
to excel academically. In some families, you need to fail academically.
In some families, you need to be very witty, in
some families, you need to be invisible. Why would you
fail in some families? Well, the classic one is parental envy.
(04:28):
Some parents are hugely envious of their own children, and
they cannot bear that their child, who they've put on
the earth should be happier than they've managed to be.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
This blew me away. Have you seen cases of this,
this parental envy?
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Look, I have to say that that that can be
a thing. And when I've worked with teenagers over the years,
sometimes the pressure from their parents for their academic grades
is so like debilitating because they know if they don't
get that A, the A plus when they go home,
they just you know that you're not loved right there.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You let everyone down.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
Parental disappointment is it's like a knife in their heart.
And yet sometimes parents I'm in where they're doing it.
They're thinking, I'm encouraging you, and I'm you know, giving
you that motivation and I'm telling you to aim high.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But sometimes it doesn't land that way with a with
a kid.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
And it another really difficult one is and you know,
because we're doing to talk about dads, the dad that's
into rugby and into sport and into watching.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Wrestling, and then he has a boy he likes music.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
He can also struggle in that space because he's just
not in the you know, I feel like I let
my dad down. And I've actually shared so many stories
with boys around that that I'm a failure for my dad.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Right, It's a tough one because you know that this
is the other one. And we've spoken about this so
many times, Maggie about well, it's just, you know, like
my son, he loves football, but he also loves these
video games. We talk about video games with you all
the time and how much time he actually gets on there.
But I actually see the joy in his face, Maggie
when he plays it.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
And now we had a no video game policy at home.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
That's completely changed now because I can see the joy
that he gets out when he's on there with his mates.
It's just a matter of pulling it back. But I
just said to my wife, we can't deny this because
he loves it so much.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
So one of the things we know about boys particularly
is they're hunting dopamine, Right, They're hunting that really good
neurochemical It makes you feel freaking amazing, right, Well, they
don't all of them get it. At school because quite
often I've got to sit longer than they want to
and the stuff's boring and they don't think it's going
to be Trust me, I taught ear nine boys who
really thought writing an essay was a waste of time
because I'm going to play football for Australia. But what
(06:39):
happens when they're video gaming, it's instance shots of dopamine
when they're doing it their mates. The second thing that
teenagers particularly want and boys want is connection with friends.
And so you're filling the connection cup. You're filling this
competence company am I getting better and better? And you're
filling the fun cup And so it's not a bad
thing at all. But what we've got to make sure
is they're not in it all night. And then also
(07:02):
that their language doesn't escalate, because that's one of the
things parents say.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Sometimes they hear this horrible.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Language coming out of their room that happens and going
that's not my son. But when we pull them back
up on that, saying if you want to keep playing,
you know, then that sort of language has got to stop.
So once again it's not all harmful, but we've got
to make sure we've got boundaries around it?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Can I ask Maggie back to the point you made fits?
And I think this is one thing as a parent
I'm trying to work out quite often with my kids.
Where's the line of me being a constructive dad in
supporting a child and encouraging them to do something, and
then me forcing them past the point where they're not interested?
(07:45):
So how do I know when I go from hey,
you're going to play this sport and you're going to
do that, to do you know what, maybe that kid
doesn't want to do that sport? Where do you stop?
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (07:55):
Look, that's one of the biggest parenting dilemmas, isn't it
That we and I'll keep on saying to parents when
your kid comes home and wants to sign up for
you know, soccer or netbook as all their friends are,
and then week three they don't want to go again.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
You paid my house with typewan do uniforms books?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
So straight off to say.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
That marketplace, same sort of thing, like, we do want
to encourage them to stretch and grow, and sometimes they
want to go because their friends are doing it, But
we really do need to know that sometimes too much.
And I think we're over scheduling today's children, no question,
We've got far too much on and then they're exhausted
and tired, and then we wonder where they get grumpy.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That is really interesting. Thirteen twenty four to ten. Maggie
Dannis in the studio. If you've got any questions, as
you want to ask, you know, she's good, you know
what the topic is, Get involved and give us a call.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
This is the Fitsy and with Her with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Maggie dandas here in the studio with us and the
podcast The Good Enough Dad. I love this, Maggie, because
you do talk to all sorts of different dads. And
one of the great parts of this podcast is when
you ask about fails. Oh man, dad, fils.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
So beautiful because we wanted to normalize that there's no
perfect and parenting or stuff. Dads can often take these
things really rarely personally, like I've mucked up, and then
they want to, you know, they really want to beat
themselves up because you've got to look at them. Boys
and men's worth off and comes from what I do
good and I give myself self worth. So when I've
mucked up, I feel really really bad.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You share the guys about because this is a beauty
and I just.
Speaker 8 (09:27):
Kind of had guy up there as you know, this
amazing human and he just opened up so beautifully. When
I asked for the dad far he burst out laughing,
said I've got a really good one. Make it probably
is the best of two seasons. So we know he's
got a place down in Girola, which is not far
from me, and he's got a tinny down there, so
quite often they go out and get some squid Easter
weekend picture it and Archie, his youngest sons, are at
(09:48):
the front of the boat and he said on you know,
getting going out and the people everywhere, of course, and
he said, and as I went to jump in, I've
actually knocked the tiller on the boat and I've ended
in the water and the boat's taken off doing loops right. Oh,
And of course his son's screaming out, da da Dad,
and he said, don't jump, don't jump, because he's worried
about the propeller.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And each time the boat came around, he had a
duck so he didn't get his bits cut off. And
then he says, eventually I've worked out which way it's going.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
I've got you to jump off, got him to shore,
and then I'm out there trying all these attempts to
get it.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Eventually gets in the boat and.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Quietly brings it back, and I just thought he said
his son keeps saying, no, Dad, don't want to go
get this scud.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I've scarred for life on that.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
But don't you think it's just a beautiful horus accident
to a moment that you thought was going to be
a treasured.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Memory that went absolutely that often the fails are the
treasured memories.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Just hearing you speak there, I'm like, oh God, I
remember my dad took it upon himself to treat me
to a haircut, and what ensued just has gone down
in family folklore. I went into the salon as a
as an average ten year old, and I came out
looking like like the queen on a coin. I had
(11:03):
this like a playdough old lady head. And I'm sure
that he beat himself up over that. But you know,
that's become one of our greatest hysterical memories together.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Yeah, I have a.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Pretty big one that only farm kids would have. So
when a sheep's fly blow and you use these clippers
to cut it off, and then you spraying with stuff
that kills all the maggots and everything. And I'm holding
the sheet for dad right with my wellies on, and
as he's cutting, all these.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Maggots are going into my boot, and.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
I'm sitting there thinking, oh, right, in a moment, I
got a walk and it was some one of those moments.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
What would my dad want me to do?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
And I've just thought I can do this and just
walked off and just squash all the.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Magic boots that I thought.
Speaker 8 (11:41):
I told my dad later, and he just gave me
a big wink, like, that's my girl.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Why have you not had the nickname Maggot Dent?
Speaker 8 (11:52):
And I also wrote a poem once called Maggots and
the new teacher nearly fainted because she was a city
girl and she really didn't get the quite Maggie's.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
In the Boots by Maggie?
Speaker 9 (12:01):
Do you remember any of the of the stanzas from Maggiets?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
That is Allison from a grassiell. Hello Allison, Hi guys,
how are you? I'm Maggie Live with Maggie. What is
your question?
Speaker 10 (12:17):
My question is is probably a little bit of a
long winded one, but my daughter seems to second guess
herself in tasks that she's more than capable of doing. So,
for example, we do little athletics. She's a good runner,
did really well last season. It was her first season,
and so when it comes to the long distance straight away,
she's like, I can't do it. She starts getting a stitch,
(12:39):
all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 11 (12:41):
You know.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
We do the positive reinforcement, and it's the same thing
like her academics, like particularly mats. She starts sort of
stressing out and sort of getting upset with herself before
she's even attempted.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
What do you do, MEGANE.
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Now it's really really common, remember, really really common. So
one of the things I'm going to say sound a
bit weir.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
We're in a bit weird.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
But what I want you to do, because I've worked
in this space for years as a counselor, is I
want her the last thing she does at night and
the first thing is morning. In the morning, she's going
to visualize herself nailing it, like getting those test results.
She's going to see herself running like the wind. The
more times that she does that vividly, the brain thinks
she's already done it, so it tends to move the
doubt and.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The self doubt away.
Speaker 8 (13:22):
And there's a visualization on my website called accepting Myself,
which is a neurolinguistic programming technique where they see a
big white screen and they watch themselves confident because they
run a video in their head and we need to
turn that video off, and the sooner we turn it off.
So I use it with all my classrooms when I
was still teaching it, and oh my gosh, you should
have seen the difference in the grade.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
So I love that.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
You can't talk them out of a mindset or a
belief or a pattern, but we're going to change the video.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
In the mind.
Speaker 9 (13:51):
And I think that comes from I've got three kids
as well, ranging from sixteen to twelve, and I have
seen that exact thing happening. I can't I can't do it.
And I think there's so much pressure to be the
best at everything. And I just say to my kids
that really, it is about the journey.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It's about having a crack.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
It's exciting about the best. I don't expect you to
be the best. I'm not the best at anything. Nobody
and I knows the best at anything, but gosh, it's fun.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
To have a go, celebrate effort, Always celebrate effort, get
up and have a go, even if we've got no
chance of winning.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
They're the messages that just quickly Maggie, girls and boys difference.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
At what age should they start?
Speaker 12 (14:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, but what mental resilience?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
At what age do they start getting a bit of
mental resilience and they and they start pushing back?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Look, they can they can develop that at any point
in their whole life journey, because what resilience really is
is that I can come across things that challenge me
or that are adversity or difficulty, and I have an
ability to push through.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Because I've experienced it.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
This is one of the reasons I keep saying your
kids are supposed to fall out of trees. They're supposed
to fall over, they're supposed to not to get one
prize in past the parcel, because we're wanting them to
get used to moments that are difficult so that we
can go through it. So the more times they deal
with those, the soon that that happens, regardless of gender.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Gotcha, And that's a really.
Speaker 8 (15:10):
Important message for us not to keep rescuing our kids.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
So Truemelian Blackson your question for Maggie Dent Hi.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
I have a question regarding taking my children to the shop.
I have a three year old who always ends up
wanting a lolly and if I say no, he then
has a complete melt down. My question is do I
just cave in and just buy one each time? Do
I deal with it there at the shops and talk
to him about it, or do I just take him
home and have that discussion with him later.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
All right, so of course he wants a lolly, what
who doesn't. I'd still like one two if I went
and I'm seventy. What I'm going to suggest to you
is that before you get out of the car you're
going to you're going to have a little chat to
him and say when we there's only these days of
the week. And of course he's not going to know
those days, is he? But Monday, Wednesday, Friday, if you
know we've not been really awful to my mum and
(16:00):
drawn lipstick on the wall and things, there will be
a lolly treat when I go shopping. Right, And then
you pull up in the car park and you go,
what day is it?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Today?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Is this day?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
So it is a treat day. Today is Tuesday, no
treat day.
Speaker 8 (16:12):
So we go okay with that, not today, But if
we have a tantrum about today.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Then there won't be one tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
And it might sound really but they learn okay, So
you're not banning forever, because if you're banned forever, I'm
going to get upset too because I like my chocolate.
But so we actually setting him up to now not
to be able to predict what are the days that
he can look forward to going to you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Plus the other thing is, yeah, leave him with someone else.
We go shopping.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Super buggedy year.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yes, Scott in Scofielder question for Maggie Dent.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Here you're going good?
Speaker 14 (16:47):
What question is my nine year old boy? He's quite
nervous and shy even round strangers. But then with people
that we go, we'll be out of supporting events and
things like that. Talk to him for your boys contacts
and I just want to know what's the best way
to support him or how do I get about it? Shelf, Well, it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Sounds like he's a lamb.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
So lambs are less brave, and you know they've turned
up less brave, less fearless. But I'm going to give
you a couple of things that really can help in
that space is your practice at home. So your roleplay
situations with him like he's a stranger and put on
some weird o face mask or something and say so mate,
how are you going? You know, you actually practice the things.
It's a bit like what I said before about the
(17:27):
video and the head to build his confidence at being able,
you practice like heck, so you can you know, all
everyone in the house can play. And bottom line, he
becomes an adult sometimes and you're the child and you
can mimic how he might be a bit reluctant. But
we also so there's another strategy I used with a
lot of shy children early on, and they had to
have had to pick out some undies that were their
(17:48):
brave undies awesome so bright red, bright yellow, whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And so there were days.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
When they were going to be going out that potentially
they might meet people they're not so sure at.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
They had to wear their brave.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
Undies, their fun undies, whatever you want to call it,
because it sort of makes them feel a little braver
on the inside and it's a bit of fun. But
what I do want to say is don't ever force
him like because when we force a child whoo's a
little bit shy and anxious that we set them up
for a whole lifetime full of dread. So we've got
to make sure we allow them to be Yes, stay
with me until you're safe. It's quite often in circle
(18:21):
of security. It's a brilliant parenting program. Our kids want
to stay close to the safest person and venture a
little bit and then come back. And then you're gratually
helping him go a little bit further each time, so
that you know he will gradually develop that capacity later.
Speaker 9 (18:35):
And Maggie, would you agree with me here because I've
got a couple of shy kids and I sort of
and I'm not shy. And I sort of realized early
on when I got this shy child out of nowhere
that me trying to encourage them. I feel like I
(18:58):
was coming from a good place because you know, interacting
with human beings is the greatest joy in my life,
and I wanted them to have that too. When I
realized that me talking about it kind of got lost
in translation. I was saying, this is a great way
to be Try this, try that, But what they're hearing
(19:19):
is you're not good enough the way you are.
Speaker 8 (19:22):
You're actually failing as you are, You're dead right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I know, best intentions in the world. Welcome to the
tricky part of parenting.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
So now I just say, you're either a shy person
or you're going through a shy phase.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Let's see where it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And it's perfectly normal.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Celebrate those ones. Celebrate the lambs and the roosters.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, let's take one more called Leah and Harrington Park.
Your question for Maggie Dent Lea.
Speaker 11 (19:44):
Oh, good morning, Maggie.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Thanks.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
I just wanted to know. I've got a fifteen year
old son and I've been a fan of yours for
oh well, since he was conceived. To be honest, it
was him, and he's not a fan. I kind of
I'm showering, he gets hygiene.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Yeah yeah, okay, so this is really really company.
Speaker 13 (20:06):
Now.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
The weirdest thing about our tween and teen boys is
I actually don't realize they smell. Oh I'm in a
classroom full of them, right and I'm nearly passing out
and not one of them notices that there's this body
odor in the room. They don't smell it. So they
want to say, look, why should I bother? Because a
I don't smell and there's no skin on my jocks, Like,
what's the point of saving water?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, So I don't know if you can try this one.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
I did it with my four year olds some because
he was decided he didn't want to shower in bath anymore.
So I tried the incentivizing. You know, of course it's
not going to work with a fifteen year old boy.
But what I said to him at one point I
sat with him and said, you know, mummy doesn't have
a penis. But you know, if I didn't, I didn't
wash it. I reckon, I go moldy and fall off.
He was in the shower like a flash. At the
(20:52):
end of the day. I'd probably come with you know
that sort of thing that if you don't look after
your peters.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It'll fall could get a bit rotten and.
Speaker 8 (21:01):
Still still yeah, the more you nag, the less it's
going to shower.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Hasn't a made thank you mate on that to wash I've.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Got a sixteen year old.
Speaker 9 (21:16):
Is there a nice way to say you're a bit
on the nose?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Because it's a it's a tolty thing.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
If anybody said to me you stir I so offended,
all right, so let me have it sort of Chip.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
It's such a crazy thing because of course I had
housefuls of boys.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
They all bought their mates and ate me out of
house and home.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
But you know what, the mother of one of your
son's mates is the person who drops the truth bomb.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Because while you're in my house there was a boy.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Oh my god, and I said, mate, I'm going to
take your home, so I can't have that really off.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Do you want to go up and put some andy
bo on? Yeah, no, worries.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
His mum's been trying to nag the hell out of
him because he really likes coming to my house.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I'm not his mother, and he knows I like him.
He goes up, but you know.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
What, he did that, But when I came back later,
he sprayed the whole whole mirror with the and the
deodorant all over the mirror.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Because that you thought they.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Were funny too? Oh, I love him in.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Your home anymore? He was.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He definitely was.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, Maggie, that is sensational. Thank you for happiness.

importance of family have shaped the way I live and
I love. You didn't just tell me what was right.
You showed me every single day, Mum. As I've matured

your resilience during tough times, and the way that you

The light of you.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Here's the catchphrase. If it's legal, make it happen. What Yeah.
The luxury accommodation company Luxico. They rent out unbelievably beautiful,
high end houses and these people need to make their
customers feel like the most important person in the world.
Ryan James.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Oh, do you know what, I'll get a phone call
for this whip. Well, they wanted to use your no no,
no no.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Do you know live the live golf to me? So
these golfers are worth an absolute fortune. And there's a company, right,
and what they do They hire amazing houses and then
they have these parties in the houses and the golfers,
after playing golf all day go back there. They have
a few old dervs, they have a couple of champagnes,
and they have the sponsors there.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
So there are companies out there that actually.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Do this, right. So they were looking at looking for houses.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Well, yeah, they said, do you know anyone that's got
a house?
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Can I tell you about a really weird phone call
I got not long ago. I'm sitting at home phone rings.
I look at the phone, says Dickie Wilkins, and here
we go.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Which phone was a second or third pone.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I think was his fifth and he was in his
second pool at the time, the afternoon pool that he
doesn't have the permit for. Anyway, I answer the phone
and he goes, hey, mate, can we talk? And I said, yeah,
what's going on? Dickie? He said, I'm here with someone
and I can't tell you who I'm here with. Okay,
I love these games. So he goes, is there any
(29:05):
chance that a well known celebrity could possibly look to
rent out your house a little bit later on in
the air and I all right, well, just tell me
how you're talking about to start with, yeah, you gotta know,
and he goes, let's just say there's more than one
dick calling right now. I'm here with Richard Marx's the
two dicks.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
That's a hazard in itself.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Oh Marxie, we saw him at the walk Ward. Do
you know what would have happened though as well?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Dicky would have moved in with Richard Marx.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, with out of doubt.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
He would have gone, well, you're there, Richard, I'll just
move in with your news one of Whipper's rooms as well.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
If that's okay, I mean, Richard, just remember the catchphrase though,
if it's legal, make it happen. We'll see you on
Binge's brand new show, Billion Dollar Playground, The.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
Fid And with Kate Richie Podcast and Whipper with Kate
che Origin Upgrade.

Speaker 12 (30:04):
Women's Stay of Origin starts tonight, Exclusive Life and Free
on nine and nine now your home of free footage.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
And so it begins. Oh man, what a journey this
will be. Kicks off tonight.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
Cannot wait to watch this on Channel nine, and one
man who has represented his state so many times and
brought it home for us is the magnificent Freddy Fitler,
Freddy well Forday, Betty, we're far he's there.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
No, not at the moment.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
But no, she's not here at the moment. Yeah no,
but he's there.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
No, not at the moment.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
But no, she's not here at the moment we've been
Yeah no, but Freddie. Actually, do you know what I
did the other day just to support you, and Andrew Johns,
is that I walked off the show with twenty one
minutes to go. This is what WHEP If you don't know,
Andrew John's walked off the broadcast the other day because
he's so disgusted with the sinbins that are happening in
(31:01):
the NRL at the moment.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Are you at that point as well, Freddy? Will you
walk off?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
No?
Speaker 15 (31:07):
I walk off? It was interesting watching Andrew in the
corner having a little stock just hilarious. Couldn't control himself,
just couldn't can Yeah, well he could actually just sat there.
He dropped the mic and he didn't look at anyone
and didn't speak for twenty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I still got mad.
Speaker 15 (31:23):
I just added my eye added a little bit to
staid of the invoice because it's the extra workover lifting.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Freddy, Yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Is ridiculous, Freddy. Are you really worried about the game
and where it's going.
Speaker 15 (31:37):
Well, there's a lot going on, I think in all sports,
especially contact sports. I think everyone's nervous about concussions and
you know the consequences of them. So I feel like
they try to be proactive and they have been, but
every now and then they just go a bit far.
I think, I don't know whereas people not understanding the
game and how accidents and happen and the way they
(32:01):
defend now and you just got to be you gotta
be careful, you to understand the place. You got to
be sympathetic towards them because there's a situation the signs
one where you know he's standing there and the bloke's
running full piled out again, You've got a decision or
to move out of the road and you lose your
job or you hold your ground. And that's what he did,
(32:22):
and he's got two weeks with uh. They've come out
and said that they have got it wrong. They went
too fast, So you know they're really under the spotlight
this week at Magic Round with us every games in
the one spot, but they're going about other ways to
change in the lod with bunker and having more consistent
people in the bunker from a point of view of
(32:42):
less and trying to find the best. So they're definitely
realized they've made an error and they're moving on.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Pretty Where are you at the moment, morning walk or
you've just done your yoga.
Speaker 15 (32:52):
