it back. Kim Kardashian. There was a video of her

she said, I can bring anything back. Watch me, and
she did the six seventh thing, and now everyone's doing
the six seventh thing.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh okay, well that makes me stop again.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I'm not one hundred percent whether it was just her
that started it again, but I definitely saw that she
did do that.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I was having a laugh only today with a friend
and I she said something along the lines and it
was Kim Kardashian related, which always makes me think of you.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But I was like, what about Kim Kardashian bringing out
the G string with the hair on it? Oh? Have
you seen it?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That sounds gross.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
It's pubit care on the outside of a G string
and she's selling it and they were sold out. Katie
old out skim thing, Yes, and they've sold out. Now
this says more about us. What is humanity doing buying this?
We've spent so much money.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Hang on for a second. My first thought is what
she's making pubic hair fashionable again? Because the years I've
done of laser That's what I'm like with the eyebrows, like, oh,
this is what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I brod about how she's like, I can bring back anything.
Now she's trying to bring back the bush.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
But it's sold out. So what does that say about us? Public?
That is buying that.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I'm not buying that. I'm not buying that at all.
Do you know what they're called? Aren't they called Amercans
a pubic week?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, this is on a G string, so it's a
bit more fancy, and it's from a brand.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's like Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But how is that? Is that supposed to be sexy?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I have no idea, Katie, I find a hideous. I'm
not a fan of her, as you can tell, and I.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
See I am a fan, but I am not wearing
a fur.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like she said on that I can bring back anything.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, that's got to be a joke, right, the people
that are buying that, Why are they buying it?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I reckon she's having a laugh with it?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Why are you buying hair on a G string?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I don't know when you've gone through all of that
trouble to get rid of her hair?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, I don't get it. She's not wearing that, surely,
I reckon. It's not having a laugh. She's having a laugh.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
She's taking the preece. She's laughing at.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
All of these other people that are buying millions buying
hair on a strap.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
But when they say sold out, how many did she produce? God,
I wouldn't know twenty.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
It's so embarrassing if you bought one DMR someone.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Am I a bad mum for not cooking dinner anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
To stop?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah? I decided this last night. I'm not doing dinner anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know, why for you or like as in for
the four of you or just for you and yeah,
as in just the children.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I'm still going to have dinner. I'll still make myself dinner,
and I'll make to a dinner sometimes, and probably Amelia
because she wasn't really involved in this, but I, like
many parents, get sick of my kids go every time
I say what's for dinner? It doesn't matter what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, it's like, could be gold class food and that's
still going to be frowned upon.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I started a while ago saying what my mum used
to say to me. And so I'd go, Mum, what's
for dinner? And she'd say, wait and see pie. And
so I say that to the girls, because what happens
is I call up and go girls dinner, and then
one of two things happens. Either they completely ignore me
and don't come until I've said it. Another three or
four times, or they go what is it? And I
(04:58):
know that that means what is it? I want to
find out whether it's worth me coming down for or not,
because if it's something I don't want to just take
a long time. That's exactly what they're thinking. And so
I go, wait and see pie come on. And then
last one down clears up. Yeah yeah, yeah, So it
come down between the two of them. They have to
hurry up. Because my girls are vegetarian, I often do
(05:22):
two dinners every night, and it's a pain in the ass.
Or what I try and do is I know what
Jay and I are having, and then I'll do like
the sides or mostly similar for them, but then just
substitute the meat for something else. So last night, for example,
had steak, vegetables and potatoes. I did vegetables and potatoes,
(05:46):
and then they had a kishe yep, And I'm like,
okaysha's pretty good. Like it's got egg in it, spinach
and stuff like that. At least they're getting some protein
because they don't eat much protein. And I get hit
with off. I do not like keiche. Both of them
actually ate about half of it, and then went o
came putting it in the binner, and you're not putting
(06:06):
that in the bin. I've literally just bought that, So
that's like putting money straight into the bin, like literally,
And I feel like it's emphasized when you've literally just
bought it as opposed to it. And so then I'm
arguing with them about not eating dinner, blah blah blah,
and then Holly turns around and she says, I don't
(06:28):
even know why we have to eat dinner. Why do
we have to sit here and you tell us what
dinner we have to eat because I paid for it,
because I've paid for it. Well, I don't want that dinner.
I'm like, okay, Well, then you make your own dinner.
You go to the shop on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm not paying for uber eat because you're going to
choose what you want.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
No, No, absolutely not. I said, I will give you
a budget of what I would have spent on your dinner.
And then there's rules around it too, because you're not
just buying yourself, Like, yeah, that's not happening. So there
needs to be a protein, two veg, and a carbohydrate
for your dinner. You work out what it is and
(07:08):
you can buy it and then you cook it yourself.
She's not going to want to cook it. Would I've
started it tonight, right tonight, dinner for herself. I will
fill you in on what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, I can't wait because I can guarantee no.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Anyway, the argument got so bad because I was just
in the mood last night where I was like, I
am not laying down and taking this. You are going
to understand that you are privileged to have had your
dinner cooked for you and a separate dinner because you
choose to be vegetarian. When I was a kid, it
was get what you're given, whether that man I sat
(07:44):
there for hours picking out the bits of leak from
the castle, role, which I did do. That was how
was I get where you get?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You ate it, didn't you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I ate it because I didn't have a choice. And
so I told Holly how privileged she was that someone
else is making dinner for her and mostly clearing up
after dinner TI and letting her go up and do
whatever homework she needs to get on with. She turned
around to me and she said, you have an obligation
as a parent to do my dinner until I'm eighteen. Oh,
(08:21):
when first of all, looked over at Jay. He's grabbed
his phone. I can see he's googling or age. I'm like,
I'm pretty sure sixteen's like you can remember yourself. I so,
first of all, you sound so entitled. I don't have
an obligation. And then I wrote a list rach because
I sat and thought about it and stewed on it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
What was Amelia doing.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Amelia was being very quiet and didn't get involved because
she didn't want to be part of the argument. And
she also knew that it was not going well for
Holly because we were both Jay and I were both
getting really angry, and we were both talking about how
we shouldn't even be doing vegetarian options. They should get
what they're given, they should eat what they're told. If
she's got a problem with it, she can her own food.
(09:05):
She can cook her own dinner, which she never does.
Like Amelia is like watching on going This is not
I'm just going to eat. I'll just eat it. It's
not going well. And then I turn around to Holly
and I said, actually, there's no legal requirement to buy
a child in Apple Mac. There's no legal requirement to
(09:27):
get them an iPhone and pay for their phone, Billy,
there's no legal requirement to take them to Europe or
America or Bali or any of the privileged places you've been.
There's no legal requirement to put you through private schooling.
There's no legal requirement to pay for your streaming services
or Spotify. And the list goes on and on and on,
(09:48):
and then Jay then pipes.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Up with He's waiting in the background.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
He's then added to it. There's no obligation to drive
them for a hundred hours, pay for their driving lessons.
He's not going through what the current things are. And
then he's turned around and go and actually the age
of sixteen, which is perfect. So we've fed you up
until now. Now you confirm for yourself.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Oh good, I can't wait to see what happens.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You know, Like it's just that age where they just
know everything and they don't really give a fuck about
anyone else or anything else, and you're just like in
the firing one of it.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, and all you've really done is cook them dinner.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I had a friend that was telling me recently that
they with their teenagers, got to the point where they
made them each cook one meal a week for the family,
so they had to do it for everybody. She said,
I sat there and got served up cheese toasties dinner. Oh.
I didn't say anything. They don't want to ask them
(10:49):
to do, and they made it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I was like, I don't know if I what cheese?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Oh me neither that's or I go oh, I don't
think I could deal with that. I don't think I
could deal with that at all.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
So anyway, I'll keep posted.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is in store for your night ahead?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
You know what I've got every I'm so tempted to
cook J and I and Amelia like something really nice
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Tonight, or get us three takeaways that or get takeaway
