That was you know, he's British.
Speaker 3 (02:18):

All the women in the office wore skirts.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You don't want them wearing pants, dancing on weary Dunlop's
grieve and their flat shoes in their Doc Martins.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, so you and John Laws both creep.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, you can't defame the dead. Rest in peace, John Laws.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
This is Crisp Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's a bit textan the story I'm going to Well,
it feels like something that you would see in Texas. Okay,
it's called drive through Jesus, and it's what we have
at our kids' school, not officially.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think we might be the only people.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
That do it, okay, but as I'm doing drop off
it's a Catholic school, yes, and you sort of drive
into school and there's like this driveway that threads around
the outside to the drop off area, and halfway along
the driveway there's this statue of Jesus Christ. Oh wow,
sitting right there beside the thing, and I think it's there.
I think as you're driving into school to be drive
(03:19):
through Jesus and to give your prayers.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
For the day quite reflective.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Really, Yes, I'm saying, welcome to drive through Jesus. Henry
and Oscar. Can I take your prayers please?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh my gosh, like they're ordering a happy meal exactly.
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, And you can upsize your prayers. You want to
upsize that prayer. That's like fries with that exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So what kind of prayers are they dropping off to
drive through Jesus.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Look, there's usually the little things that little boys do,
like they want. I hope sport today is dodgeball. I
hope it doesn't rain.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They are you just asking Jesus for something that you want,
because I don't think that's how religion works.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It's how religion works for a six and yeah, I
will do a proper brow. I'll say Jesus, thank you
for this beautiful day, and thank you for the rain
if it's raining, you know, for the farmers and the garden,
and thank you for this week. I said, thank you
God for James Desco. We don't deserve Teddy. I'm sorry
if that resulting it please you. I'm a Roosters fan
and Teddy whoever you support Teddy anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Great player, Tangent.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I remember you gonna say we went straight into NRL,
then didn't we? I remember always I used to get
on my hands and knees on my bed with my prayer.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Hands, your hands and knees, sorry, on.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
My knees, on my knees.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Wow, that's not how.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I was on my knees with my prayer hands, and
I would pray every night for a bunny rabbit. And
then I remember that year for Christmas, I got a
bunny rabbit. So I was like, oh my God, God
is real.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Thank you God. But if you hadn't got it, you'd
go well, God, God's a scam.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
God's faith that's fake, doesn't exist anyway. Yeah, but I
like drive through cheese through Jesus.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I think other religions could do it.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You could have drive through Muhammad and Buddha and everyone
can just pull up and you know.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Could I take your prayers please?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Would be good if drive through Jesus because like turn
bread into chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We could right.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Water into post mixed coke.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Jesus could do anything.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, it feels like a text and thing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's what I'll drive through.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What am I doing?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
This is crisp page And.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You're wearing those thigh high boots.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So we're friends today.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
We're just now, We're only friends today if I'm lucky.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I'm just saying I like your boots today. Amy's hung
over and wearing That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But God, good for winter. Winter. You know what else
is good for winter?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Ugsug boots.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
They're back baby. You know how we did our planning
day the other day on Zoom. We do our planning
day on Zoom. I was also at Westfield. I had
to pick something up for a shoot, and I was
there in my ug boots. And I know that you
hate that. I know that you love thigh high boots.
So actually, what I'm going to do from this point
(06:07):
onwards is only where my ug boots.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I thought you were gonna wear thigh high ug boots.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Actually that would be so fantastic. Imagine and ug boots.
So you've got the whole warm whatever it is inside
sheepskin or something, the whole way up your leg.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You can have sex without getting cold feet and legs.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well you're not wearing them? Why not while doing the deed?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yes you are. Well, what's the point then?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Forget the thigh high ug boots.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well they're back, and I feel like there's two different
types of ug boots. You should have a home pair
and then a pair that you wear out.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You've got your going out hug boots.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes, my going out ug boots are the kind of
they are actually a platform and they're they're just the
ones that you slide in and you wear them with
a sock and it kind of looks a bit cool.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, are they UG brand or I.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Know they're ug brands. Oh yeah, you can wear them
with like active wear. You could just wear them anywhere.
Embrace the ug boot. It's ug boots, seasoned ladies.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I've got the big W ug boots at home, but
we still call them ug boots. What are they call
when you go to Big W and their ten bucks,
they can't say ugg boots.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Flip.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's like sheep skin and slippers.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, anyway, slippers.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Leave your sheepskin big W slippers at home.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You can wear yours in. I won't judge.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I wonder how much you could spend on a pair
of ug boots like a designer.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'll look it up. Okay, you can get a Gucci
ug boot for two thousand, three hundred dollars. What's mule meal,
me meal, that's a brand.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, that's one nine hundred and sixty for ug boots.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Wait, I'll tell you who else. Chanel will have really
expensive ones.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
VASACEI twelve hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Chanel ug boots. These are pre owned and they're two thousand,
four hundred dollars owned.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
A pre owned ug boot.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah yeah, that'd be disgusting.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Toe jam and all the linch cheese. But it's Chanel, darling.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Beautiful, this is crisp page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I'll producer ego Amy is. He's a really bright guy
in some ways. I mean he's a good radio producer.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yes he is.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
As a husband and father, I don't know, so he
was a father. Actually, I'm sure he's a good dad.
I won't go there. That's a bit harsh, but bad husband.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
He was telling us during the week that he wants
to get a bit more romance happening now that the kid.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Good husband. He wants to do more date nights right
with his wife.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, so you know what, he told me that he
wants to take her ice skating as a date night.
Oh my god, echoes here. Hi, you go, I go?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
But he we're fourteen years old.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I was trying to think of something different because, like
we thought gold class cinemas.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
But you sit next to each other.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I know, and then you're not really talking or anything.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
At least the date night on the ice is fun
and you leave that experience going wow, that was a memory.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Okay, you leave that experience with bruises all over your.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Here's my issue with ice skating. When you're in your forties,
unless you're a professional ice skater, ice skating is actually
quite hard, and when you hit that ice in your
forty you don't just bounce like the kids do when
they're younger, and stuff. You are falling and you can
fracture a hip, you can break a wrist like it's
actually quite dangerous when you're our age. Also, it's freezing cold.
(09:22):
It's usually about three degrees in there. The ice skating
boots that they give you are so uncomfortable and you
just kind of look like an idiot.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, you've painted a pretty good picture those things.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't think ice skating is the answer that was
COMPREHENSI no, no, no, I think you're on the right track.
I think date nights when you are married and you
have small kids are very important. Here's what Ryan and
I do.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We will often we're on air.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I'm taking sometimes, especially when your kids are young and
you don't want to leave them, we will do a
cheese and wine night. So I'll go out and get
loads of stuff for a cheese platter, and he'll pick
a bottle of wine, and then we will sit at
the table and we will actually talk to each other,
because it's quite easy to just plunk on a movie.
But then you kind of same thing. You're not really
(10:13):
engaging or anything. Like that. So you sit down, have
a cheese platter, have some wine, light some candles, you know,
set the mood that bit romantic.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He's actually writing it down. He wasn't just saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But I think back to when we were dating and
Ryan and I our dating life was cut short quite
quickly because he knocked me up. But I think back
to other boyfriends. Karaoke is a really fun one.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. The wife actually suggested salsa dancing.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh my god, I would love that. That would be
so much fun. You can also do a paint and
sip class. Yeah, that's actually quite cool. I know there's
a whole Yeah, so basically.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
What you get drunken paint.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, I actually did a hens you probably wouldn't do
this version, but we had a nude model, a nude
male model, and the male.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I don't think a good date night for Ego is
taking his wife out to see what a real penis.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't really I don't really care about Ego. I'm
just thinking of his wife Catherine. Yeah, and then you
actually get to draw him whilst having wine and it
can be a bit fun. You can also just go
to one where you're drawing like a bunch of flowers
as well, But drawing a schlung is more fun.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
What about tenpin bowling? Is that a nice state night?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Actually?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know what? Anything we have to put on dirty
smelly communal shoes, clown shoes is his. Yeah, the clown
shoes of the bowling only that's not.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I did have a look online, though, and there's this
article about like all these really cool date ideas. You know.
I was thinking, Oh, maybe there's some different ones out here.
This has got to be the dumbest article I've ever read.
Somebody said, so what you should do for really something
different is you go camping and you fall asleep under
the stars together. That's a hard no from me.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's written by someone who's never been camping. Yeah, that's
not how camping works.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Here's another one, which is also absolutely awful. Work towards
your fitness goals together. What guy goes, Oh, I want
to spice up, you know, my marriage. Let's go to
the gym together, Honey, we can do crunches.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I was looking at you in the shower the other
day and I think you could do with some more exercise.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Let's work in our fitness goals together.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
No, yeah, definitely don't suggest that one go with the
salsa dancing. That would be fun.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, it's either that or go to the wristole and
do like you know, like meat trays, no down the bowl.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Dinner, drinks and then salsa.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well I need a few drinks. Yeah, I'm not a
good dancer.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But you want her dancing with you and not a
sexy Spanish guy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
But that's the problem. If I suck, will they then
sub me out for a sexy spash guy.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
No, no, no, okay, give it a shot, but no
ice skating for for data from me.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Right, so we've just got to take a break. Livey dad, yep.
More and more people over forty are getting into ice skating.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
If you're looking for a this is crisp page. And
how are you feeling? You're looking better? Got some color
in your cheek?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I actually feel like I'm deteriorating.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Amy had a wine tasting last night.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I did have a wine tasting, except they weren't wine
tasting sizes. You know, like when you wine taste, it's
usually like one or two mouthfuls.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You don't have to finish the glass.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, I mean, it'd be rude.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Not to and look who's talking. I know right, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I'm I would do the same thing exactly anyway, Thanks
for rocking up.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'm here. That's all the matters.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Hey, winter's here as well. Yeah tomorrow, no Monday, Monday
winter stuff. But it's here. It's been here for.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
A little while, whether I was already.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
And the movie night is back at our place because
we've got little kids. I mean, my kid's going.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
To bed at seven thirty, so it's still light.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
In summer now getting dark at five o'clock. We whacked
the projector on you.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You've got a project I saw that. So Chris has
been a little bit bitter ever since I told him
that we have one hundred inch TV.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I didn't know you had one hundred inch and I
came in all cocker hoop after I bought an eighty
five inch TV and you were like, oh yeah, and
I'm like, oh, it's almost too big for the room,
but I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's great. And you're like, yeah, Ryan got the hundred
and Ryan's a whole fifteen inches.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And I will say the one hundred inches far too
big for the room. Yeah, but you had to then
go on one up me.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, that's the thing I thought.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And Ryan, I hope you're listening to this little man,
because I went and got myself a projector and a
one hundred and.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Fifty inch Woll screen. It's even bigger than you think
in your head. One hundred and fifty inches.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah. Yeah, I did see the photo that you sent me,
and your kids were sitting like a meter away from it,
so I don't know how they're even taking in the
whole picture.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh it's IMAX for them. If you sit one meter away,
it's IMAX. But it's just blurry.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So is that up in your lounge room all the time.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, I've set up an eye. No it is.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well it just looks like a big blind Yeah, but no,
I've got a hook system so you can put the
screen up and take it down EASILESEA.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh wow, that's good. That's cool. Your kids would love that.
We have movie nights all the time and we go
through all the old school movies, Sound of Music, Fantasia,
all the old movies. There.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Have you done Wizard of Oz? Yes, that is that's
nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yes, it's done with Wizard of Oz. Little Giants was
really cool. Sandlot Kids. Over all those Yeah, got a
huge list.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
We got a lot of nineties classics. Dumb and dumber.
We were watching on the Victure and the other.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Night It's good and the boys have just discovered a spinch,
so everyone is.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
A lou.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
And I'm like, oh, welcome back to the nineties. Yep,
better than the nineteen thirties. So you do need to
be careful with some of those old movies because you're
just sitting back and going, it's a nice family movie night,
and suddenly n word.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Like you like casually as well? You're like, nonah, we'll
watch something else.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
This is Crispage and Amy to ride.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hey, I want to talk about something that made me
feel really nostalgic. Last weekend. I was leaving venue We're
waiting for an uber, and across the road there was
these residential houses and I saw all this young woman,
maybe she was about fifteen or sixteen, and she was
walking down the side passage of her house and I
could see that all the lights were off and she
(16:18):
definitely didn't walk out the front door, and it got
me thinking. I was like, I'm pretty sure she's sneaking
out of her house. And it made me. Remember how
much of a rat bag teenager that I was.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Mark some siggis with the boys.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Never Siggi's and never with boys plural. But I would
very often sneak out of my house and I would
get picked up by my boyfriend at the time. But
my dad was so strict. He was a police prosecutor,
so I had to be at home by ten whatever.
And then what I would do is I would wait
for him to fall asleep. Mum and Dad would come up.
I'd lie there in wait for their bedroom light to
(16:56):
go off, and then I would pack my bed with
teddy bears or stuffed toys or whatever. I had clothes,
piles of clothes.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Like Ferris Buela, Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then I had this wig from a fancy dress
party and it was like a structured so it was
actually in the shape of her head, and I would
put that on my pillow. So let's say, hypothetically, someone
just decided to get up and check open my door
in the dark, it looked like a figure was in bed.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Did your dad often come into your room in the
middle of the night while you're asleeping.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He didn't, but I didn't want to take any chances
I will tell you what this one story. Though I'd
snuck out, my nun was looking after us. My parents
were out, and she was still awake, and apparently she
went in and kissed the wig could night and went
to bed purple wig as well. Mind you, I don't
know whether she'd kiss me good night.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, but I knew every single step on the staircase
that creaked. I knew exactly where to step. And I
used to sneak out of my house all the time,
in so much so I remember doing it one school holidays.
I would do it so often. My boyfriend would pick
me up and we'd either go to a house party
or somewhere, and I'd get dropped back all over here.
(18:15):
I just get dropped back at like three am, four am,
and then I'd have two hours sleep and I'd have
to get up.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Did you get the thing out the front where there's
sense of lights but you knew exactly where you walk,
and you're like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossisle with the lasers,
like walking around the sense of lights.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
In terms of sneaking out, I was a master.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, And so when I saw that girl, I was like,
go you good thing. I feel like it's a rite
of passage. Yeah, right, sneaking out.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I wonder what she was doing.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I mean, probably going to a party or something like that.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Probably, Why is everything creepy? I was just saying, I
wonder what she was doing.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You're a creepy guy.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm not really just.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, yeah, this is Crisp Page and Amy Jeride.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Okay, I regret this break already.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I've been waiting for this break all morning.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I fear that this break has become something that it
wasn't meant to be.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Hopefully it's getting recorded and we can put this live
to the socials as well, because I feel like you're
about to deliver everything something really insightful.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
We're on camera. But I said, and I was being
sincere now meeting, Hey, I've realized that a lot of
people go the love dies as a marriage gets older.
And I was thinking about the other night and actually
wrote a few things down. You know how I get
reflective sometimes late at night.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Your words were, I have realized that I know what
love is in a marriage, is.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
What I said.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, well, okay, look that sounds ambitious for a break
on air.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Sounds really sweet and endearing. Let's hear it.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
No, okay, So Amy and Ego, our producer, are both
sitting here gleefully waiting for me to make.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
A total I'm actually going to make notes of myself.
So yeah, it's not making fun of no idea what
Amy's like.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You should get that song. I want to know what
love is. It's no, it's a serious break. Stop trivializing it.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Oh so this is a married people. As you get
a bit old, this is what I've realized. If you've
been with your wife for a long time, you know
that it's love, if it just feels like home no
matter where you are, if you feel safe, and that
they're a part of you because they are a part
of you because of the life.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
You've built together, your house, your.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Kids, your circle of friends, every single big decision you've
made together, choosing where to live, what car to buy,
what school your kids go to. The five rotating meals
you eat for dinner every night, you've all either agreed
on that or compromised on one of them because you
care about the other person. So you are inextricably a
(20:41):
part of each other's lives, and literally nothing would be
the same in your life if you'd married someone else.
So a happy marriage is taking all the good things
in the life that you've created together and just trying
to enjoy them every day together and keep working to
keep building that life in the right way and the
(21:02):
right direction, and that becomes bigger and deep. Don't laugh,
you're going to laugh.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Really beautiful, I'm actually getting emotional.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You just try to keep building that life, and then
once kids come along, of course they become a part
of it, and a lot of your common interests'm building
a good life.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
For them too. I don't know, people get divorced all
the time, and I don't it's messy because everything's into mined.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yes, well, I feel like when you get married you
become part of a team, or like even when you're
in a long term relationship, you're obviously lovers, but you're
also teammates. And if you've got a good teammate, A
lot of people get divorced because their teammate is shit, right,
and that you know, some people put in eighty percent
effort and they only get twenty back. Whereas I think
with you and Georgie, you've got quite a good fifty
(21:48):
to fifty. There's a you know, quite a lot of
equality within your marriage, and you know, if she needs
more of you, you can give more, and vice versa,
and you kind of always have each other's back. Yes,
so that's probably why your marriage feels quite stable and
why you are dishing out all this love advice. Now,
(22:08):
I also think that you've married a pretty amazing woman.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, you are.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Lucky, but I think there is an unrealistic expectation of
marriage just continuing on the sort of dating in early
years and it's staying the same. And it doesn't because
we change as well. Like I'm a drastically different person
from the man Georgie married, and vice versa. She got
a job at Mama Mia. She's a feminist. Now that's
a joke, it's just teasing.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think it comes back to the whole Married men
are also the happiest men. I'd love to hear Georgie's
take on this, see how she feels about it.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I'm so glad. You know what our boss will say,
Why didn't you have her on the line? Why didn't
she come on at the end? It would have been
taken it next level.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Let's call Georgie and see what her take on this is.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Maybe another time, Okay, we're running late next week. You
hear that? Come on, was there some sense in there?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Nice? It was actually really nice, And I think it's
a nice way to look at it as well, because
I think especially women. You know, I am quite often
pulling Ryan up on a lot of things because of
obviously expectations. But sometimes if I shift my thinking and
focus on all the good things, I sometimes do a
(23:24):
bit of reflecting. Go. Actually, you know, he's a pretty
good guy.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
As soon as you accept those weaknesses in lieu of
everything I just said before, and the life you've built
together and everything good for me.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's when the bad outweighs the good. The good should
always outweigh the bad. Nobody's perfect. But as long as
the good continues to outweigh the bad, then I reckon,
you can stick at a marriage forever.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, and you're right, there are exceptions. Some people marry
the wrong people and the bad people. I'm not going
you must stay in your marriage no matter.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
How bad it is.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
No, No, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
No. I mean I almost left.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You would ever regretted that?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
So bad I would have I'm joking. There you go.
That's what love is.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
This is crisp Age and Amy before we go on
a Saturday.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
We do like to self reflect. The world could use
a whole lot more self reflection some individuals. So we're
gonna kick it off. Nailed it and failed it this week?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Nailed it or felled it?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And you want to go first?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, my nailed Listen. It's a little bit boring, but
I feel like a better person. I actually stripped all
the beds this week, and I have reef. Wow, this
is a really boring nailed, but I've remade all the
beds with brand new Flannelette sheets and it literally when
you get in there, it's like you're getting inside of
like a kangaroo's pouch.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, Like it's so soft and fluffy, and I am
having the deepest sleeps because I'm so warm and cozy.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's not a little bit boring.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Okay, good, it's really boring, a little boring.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
No, no, no, I you know what.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
A smile came across my face as you were talking
about like curling up in a snuf warm, freshly made.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, yea, yeah, I nailed it.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well done?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
God must have slim pickings for the nailing this week?
For you if that's the what have you nailed? I
read it a whole room at home.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Oh you redid a whole room.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I read it a room. But everything off.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
As you know, my current ADHD obsession is Facebook Marketplace.
A probably are a fixation than an obsession, but I
feel like I nailed getting all the stuff. Like you
know when you look in the rich suburbs on Facebook
and they're getting rid of these they just want this
rug gone, and they're like fifty bucks, just get it
off my hands.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And you look it up and the rugs like three grand.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yes, if you get it new, do you have to
go and pick it all up?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, that's the problem. You couldn't. I would say time exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I would never recommend it to you because it's a
time thing. But if you've got the time.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I've actually got a girlfriend, her husband. He's doing the
stay at home dad thing at the moment, and so
he's got all this time, and she also loves Facebook Marketplace,
and she just buys so much stuff and then just
sends him out to get everything. She's got the best
of both worlds.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's a story for another day. Maybe I'll tell you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
The details of this, but I'm using my wife's Facebook account,
so I'm actually anyway and being a woman online.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, okay, I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
What's your failed?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Ah? Look, my failed was. I got sick when I was,
you know, last two days of Vietnam, and I went
to the chemist over there, and you can get anything
you want over the counter, including antibiotics, which I just
took willy nilly because I was desperate to feel better,
and it gave me a horrendous spout of thrush. But
I've also but I've also lost my sense of smell.
(26:37):
I cannot smell anything, and I feel like it's removed
my sense of taste as well.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So you've got thrush, not anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I got rid of it.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I had it because I just thought, because okay, you've
literally come in wearing a short skirt going I've got
thrush and I've lost my sense of smell, and I
was like, what.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Does the short dress have to do with me having thrash?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And it's all cured, because that's what happens to women
when we take really strong antibiotics. It messes with our
flora and our garden, the pH balance and it's just
part of being a woman.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Can you really get anything at the chemist in Vietnam?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Anything you want?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And you and I didn't even a gift.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I didn't. I thought about getting you some viagra.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh yeah, well I wasn't talking about one of those
snow globes. Yeah, Okay, your fail probably letting this break
go this long without getting to my fail because it's
just I don't know, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's a long break.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Hey, I've had a good week. Yes, you have nothing
springs to mind?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Great, there you go, nowaday, do you.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
See this just peeded out and there's no energy left.
See there's my failed.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay, great, I ruined the break, You've ruined it. And
at the end of the show it is we've gone
out with a flop.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We're gone out with a big four. Have a great
day everyone. See tomorrow eight am we start well, so

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Can I just say, seriously, though, thank you to you
because you posted the photo of you out in knee
high no thigh.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
High boots, high high boots.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
And I sent that photo to our show chat saying
more of this outfit at work please and here I
am very Sidney sweeting, and you are here with the
thigh high boots that I have called other and we.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Know the other nickname. Yes, well these ones aren't as high.
They're a bit more of a casual. It's boot season, baby,
and I love me a boot.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Me too, love me as short dress. I love the
boots and the bed hair. It's all coming together really nicely.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's not bed hair. And you sound like a creep.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Now I am like, w oh my god, I sound
like John Laws.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't even know who that are.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh God, please the radio legend. Hello, this is John Laws.
Remember still nothing I was doing the older John Hello, world,
this is John Laws.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That was you know, he's British.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
No, just he can just talk properly. He's like, hey,
you're gallant. He's John Laws, and he used to like that.
All the women in the office wore skirts.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You don't want them wearing pants, dancing on weary Dunlop's
grieve and their flat shoes in their Doc Martins.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, so you and John Laws both creep.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, you can't defame the dead. Rest in peace, John Laws.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
This is Crisp Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's a bit textan the story I'm going to Well,
it feels like something that you would see in Texas. Okay,
it's called drive through Jesus, and it's what we have
at our kids' school, not officially.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I think we might be the only people.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
That do it, okay, but as I'm doing drop off
it's a Catholic school, yes, and you sort of drive
into school and there's like this driveway that threads around
the outside to the drop off area, and halfway along
the driveway there's this statue of Jesus Christ. Oh wow,
sitting right there beside the thing, and I think it's there.
I think as you're driving into school to be drive
(03:19):
through Jesus and to give your prayers.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
For the day quite reflective.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Really, Yes, I'm saying, welcome to drive through Jesus. Henry
and Oscar. Can I take your prayers please?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh my gosh, like they're ordering a happy meal exactly.
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, And you can upsize your prayers. You want to
upsize that prayer. That's like fries with that exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So what kind of prayers are they dropping off to
drive through Jesus.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Look, there's usually the little things that little boys do,
like they want. I hope sport today is dodgeball. I
hope it doesn't rain.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
They are you just asking Jesus for something that you want,
because I don't think that's how religion works.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It's how religion works for a six and yeah, I
will do a proper brow. I'll say Jesus, thank you
for this beautiful day, and thank you for the rain
if it's raining, you know, for the farmers and the garden,
and thank you for this week. I said, thank you
God for James Desco. We don't deserve Teddy. I'm sorry
if that resulting it please you. I'm a Roosters fan
and Teddy whoever you support Teddy anyway.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Great player, Tangent.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I remember you gonna say we went straight into NRL,
then didn't we? I remember always I used to get
on my hands and knees on my bed with my prayer.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Hands, your hands and knees, sorry, on.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
My knees, on my knees.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Wow, that's not how.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I was on my knees with my prayer hands, and
I would pray every night for a bunny rabbit. And
then I remember that year for Christmas, I got a
bunny rabbit. So I was like, oh my God, God
is real.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Thank you God. But if you hadn't got it, you'd
go well, God, God's a scam.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
God's faith that's fake, doesn't exist anyway. Yeah, but I
like drive through cheese through Jesus.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I think other religions could do it.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You could have drive through Muhammad and Buddha and everyone
can just pull up and you know.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Could I take your prayers please?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Would be good if drive through Jesus because like turn
bread into chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We could right.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Water into post mixed coke.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Jesus could do anything.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, it feels like a text and thing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
That's what I'll drive through.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
What am I doing?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
This is crisp page And.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You're wearing those thigh high boots.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So we're friends today.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
We're just now, We're only friends today if I'm lucky.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I'm just saying I like your boots today. Amy's hung
over and wearing That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But God, good for winter. Winter. You know what else
is good for winter?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
Ugsug boots.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
They're back baby. You know how we did our planning
day the other day on Zoom. We do our planning
day on Zoom. I was also at Westfield. I had
to pick something up for a shoot, and I was
there in my ug boots. And I know that you
hate that. I know that you love thigh high boots.
So actually, what I'm going to do from this point
(06:07):
onwards is only where my ug boots.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I thought you were gonna wear thigh high ug boots.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Actually that would be so fantastic. Imagine and ug boots.
So you've got the whole warm whatever it is inside
sheepskin or something, the whole way up your leg.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You can have sex without getting cold feet and legs.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well you're not wearing them? Why not while doing the deed?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yes you are. Well, what's the point then?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
All right?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Forget the thigh high ug boots.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well they're back, and I feel like there's two different
types of ug boots. You should have a home pair
and then a pair that you wear out.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You've got your going out hug boots.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yes, my going out ug boots are the kind of
they are actually a platform and they're they're just the
ones that you slide in and you wear them with
a sock and it kind of looks a bit cool.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, are they UG brand or I.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Know they're ug brands. Oh yeah, you can wear them
with like active wear. You could just wear them anywhere.
Embrace the ug boot. It's ug boots, seasoned ladies.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I've got the big W ug boots at home, but
we still call them ug boots. What are they call
when you go to Big W and their ten bucks,
they can't say ugg boots.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Flip.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's like sheep skin and slippers.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, anyway, slippers.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Leave your sheepskin big W slippers at home.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
You can wear yours in. I won't judge.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I wonder how much you could spend on a pair
of ug boots like a designer.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'll look it up. Okay, you can get a Gucci
ug boot for two thousand, three hundred dollars. What's mule meal,
me meal, that's a brand.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, that's one nine hundred and sixty for ug boots.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Wait, I'll tell you who else. Chanel will have really
expensive ones.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
VASACEI twelve hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Chanel ug boots. These are pre owned and they're two thousand,
four hundred dollars owned.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
A pre owned ug boot.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah yeah, that'd be disgusting.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Toe jam and all the linch cheese. But it's Chanel, darling.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Beautiful, this is crisp page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
I'll producer ego Amy is. He's a really bright guy
in some ways. I mean he's a good radio producer.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yes he is.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
As a husband and father, I don't know, so he
was a father. Actually, I'm sure he's a good dad.
I won't go there. That's a bit harsh, but bad husband.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
He was telling us during the week that he wants
to get a bit more romance happening now that the kid.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Good husband. He wants to do more date nights right
with his wife.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, so you know what, he told me that he
wants to take her ice skating as a date night.
Oh my god, echoes here. Hi, you go, I go?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
But he we're fourteen years old.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I was trying to think of something different because, like
we thought gold class cinemas.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
But you sit next to each other.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I know, and then you're not really talking or anything.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
At least the date night on the ice is fun
and you leave that experience going wow, that was a memory.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Okay, you leave that experience with bruises all over your.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Here's my issue with ice skating. When you're in your forties,
unless you're a professional ice skater, ice skating is actually
quite hard, and when you hit that ice in your
forty you don't just bounce like the kids do when
they're younger, and stuff. You are falling and you can
fracture a hip, you can break a wrist like it's
actually quite dangerous when you're our age. Also, it's freezing cold.
(09:22):
It's usually about three degrees in there. The ice skating
boots that they give you are so uncomfortable and you
just kind of look like an idiot.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, you've painted a pretty good picture those things.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I don't think ice skating is the answer that was
COMPREHENSI no, no, no, I think you're on the right track.
I think date nights when you are married and you
have small kids are very important. Here's what Ryan and
I do.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We will often we're on air.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I'm taking sometimes, especially when your kids are young and
you don't want to leave them, we will do a
cheese and wine night. So I'll go out and get
loads of stuff for a cheese platter, and he'll pick
a bottle of wine, and then we will sit at
the table and we will actually talk to each other,
because it's quite easy to just plunk on a movie.
But then you kind of same thing. You're not really
(10:13):
engaging or anything. Like that. So you sit down, have
a cheese platter, have some wine, light some candles, you know,
set the mood that bit romantic.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He's actually writing it down. He wasn't just saying that.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
But I think back to when we were dating and
Ryan and I our dating life was cut short quite
quickly because he knocked me up. But I think back
to other boyfriends. Karaoke is a really fun one.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. The wife actually suggested salsa dancing.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh my god, I would love that. That would be
so much fun. You can also do a paint and
sip class. Yeah, that's actually quite cool. I know there's
a whole Yeah, so basically.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
What you get drunken paint.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Well, I actually did a hens you probably wouldn't do
this version, but we had a nude model, a nude
male model, and the male.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I don't think a good date night for Ego is
taking his wife out to see what a real penis.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't really I don't really care about Ego. I'm
just thinking of his wife Catherine. Yeah, and then you
actually get to draw him whilst having wine and it
can be a bit fun. You can also just go
to one where you're drawing like a bunch of flowers
as well, But drawing a schlung is more fun.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
What about tenpin bowling? Is that a nice state night?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Actually?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know what? Anything we have to put on dirty
smelly communal shoes, clown shoes is his. Yeah, the clown
shoes of the bowling only that's not.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I did have a look online, though, and there's this
article about like all these really cool date ideas. You know.
I was thinking, Oh, maybe there's some different ones out here.
This has got to be the dumbest article I've ever read.
Somebody said, so what you should do for really something
different is you go camping and you fall asleep under
the stars together. That's a hard no from me.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
That's written by someone who's never been camping. Yeah, that's
not how camping works.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Here's another one, which is also absolutely awful. Work towards
your fitness goals together. What guy goes, Oh, I want
to spice up, you know, my marriage. Let's go to
the gym together, Honey, we can do crunches.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I was looking at you in the shower the other
day and I think you could do with some more exercise.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Let's work in our fitness goals together.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
No, yeah, definitely don't suggest that one go with the
salsa dancing. That would be fun.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, it's either that or go to the wristole and
do like you know, like meat trays, no down the bowl.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Dinner, drinks and then salsa.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well I need a few drinks. Yeah, I'm not a
good dancer.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But you want her dancing with you and not a
sexy Spanish guy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
But that's the problem. If I suck, will they then
sub me out for a sexy spash guy.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
No, no, no, okay, give it a shot, but no
ice skating for for data from me.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Right, so we've just got to take a break. Livey dad, yep.
More and more people over forty are getting into ice skating.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
If you're looking for a this is crisp page. And
how are you feeling? You're looking better? Got some color
in your cheek?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I actually feel like I'm deteriorating.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Amy had a wine tasting last night.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I did have a wine tasting, except they weren't wine
tasting sizes. You know, like when you wine taste, it's
usually like one or two mouthfuls.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
You don't have to finish the glass.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, I mean, it'd be rude.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Not to and look who's talking. I know right, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
I'm I would do the same thing exactly anyway, Thanks
for rocking up.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'm here. That's all the matters.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Hey, winter's here as well. Yeah tomorrow, no Monday, Monday
winter stuff. But it's here. It's been here for.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
A little while, whether I was already.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
And the movie night is back at our place because
we've got little kids. I mean, my kid's going.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
To bed at seven thirty, so it's still light.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
In summer now getting dark at five o'clock. We whacked
the projector on you.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You've got a project I saw that. So Chris has
been a little bit bitter ever since I told him
that we have one hundred inch TV.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I didn't know you had one hundred inch and I
came in all cocker hoop after I bought an eighty
five inch TV and you were like, oh yeah, and
I'm like, oh, it's almost too big for the room,
but I love it.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
It's great. And you're like, yeah, Ryan got the hundred
and Ryan's a whole fifteen inches.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And I will say the one hundred inches far too
big for the room. Yeah, but you had to then
go on one up me.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, that's the thing I thought.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
And Ryan, I hope you're listening to this little man,
because I went and got myself a projector and a
one hundred and.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Fifty inch Woll screen. It's even bigger than you think
in your head. One hundred and fifty inches.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah. Yeah, I did see the photo that you sent me,
and your kids were sitting like a meter away from it,
so I don't know how they're even taking in the
whole picture.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Oh it's IMAX for them. If you sit one meter away,
it's IMAX. But it's just blurry.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
So is that up in your lounge room all the time.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, I've set up an eye. No it is.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well it just looks like a big blind Yeah, but no,
I've got a hook system so you can put the
screen up and take it down EASILESEA.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh wow, that's good. That's cool. Your kids would love that.
We have movie nights all the time and we go
through all the old school movies, Sound of Music, Fantasia,
all the old movies. There.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Have you done Wizard of Oz? Yes, that is that's
nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yes, it's done with Wizard of Oz. Little Giants was
really cool. Sandlot Kids. Over all those Yeah, got a
huge list.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
We got a lot of nineties classics. Dumb and dumber.
We were watching on the Victure and the other.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Night It's good and the boys have just discovered a spinch,
so everyone is.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
A lou.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
And I'm like, oh, welcome back to the nineties. Yep,
better than the nineteen thirties. So you do need to
be careful with some of those old movies because you're
just sitting back and going, it's a nice family movie night,
and suddenly n word.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Like you like casually as well? You're like, nonah, we'll
watch something else.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
This is Crispage and Amy to ride.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Hey, I want to talk about something that made me
feel really nostalgic. Last weekend. I was leaving venue We're
waiting for an uber, and across the road there was
these residential houses and I saw all this young woman,
maybe she was about fifteen or sixteen, and she was
walking down the side passage of her house and I
could see that all the lights were off and she
(16:18):
definitely didn't walk out the front door, and it got
me thinking. I was like, I'm pretty sure she's sneaking
out of her house. And it made me. Remember how
much of a rat bag teenager that I was.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Mark some siggis with the boys.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Never Siggi's and never with boys plural. But I would
very often sneak out of my house and I would
get picked up by my boyfriend at the time. But
my dad was so strict. He was a police prosecutor,
so I had to be at home by ten whatever.
And then what I would do is I would wait
for him to fall asleep. Mum and Dad would come up.
I'd lie there in wait for their bedroom light to
(16:56):
go off, and then I would pack my bed with
teddy bears or stuffed toys or whatever. I had clothes,
piles of clothes.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Like Ferris Buela, Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then I had this wig from a fancy dress
party and it was like a structured so it was
actually in the shape of her head, and I would
put that on my pillow. So let's say, hypothetically, someone
just decided to get up and check open my door
in the dark, it looked like a figure was in bed.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Did your dad often come into your room in the
middle of the night while you're asleeping.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
He didn't, but I didn't want to take any chances
I will tell you what this one story. Though I'd
snuck out, my nun was looking after us. My parents
were out, and she was still awake, and apparently she
went in and kissed the wig could night and went
to bed purple wig as well. Mind you, I don't
know whether she'd kiss me good night.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, but I knew every single step on the staircase
that creaked. I knew exactly where to step. And I
used to sneak out of my house all the time,
in so much so I remember doing it one school holidays.
I would do it so often. My boyfriend would pick
me up and we'd either go to a house party
or somewhere, and I'd get dropped back all over here.
(18:15):
I just get dropped back at like three am, four am,
and then I'd have two hours sleep and I'd have
to get up.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Did you get the thing out the front where there's
sense of lights but you knew exactly where you walk,
and you're like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossisle with the lasers,
like walking around the sense of lights.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
In terms of sneaking out, I was a master.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah, And so when I saw that girl, I was like,
go you good thing. I feel like it's a rite
of passage. Yeah, right, sneaking out.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I wonder what she was doing.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
I mean, probably going to a party or something like that.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Probably, Why is everything creepy? I was just saying, I
wonder what she was doing.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You're a creepy guy.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I'm not really just.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, yeah, this is Crisp Page and Amy Jeride.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Okay, I regret this break already.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I've been waiting for this break all morning.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I fear that this break has become something that it
wasn't meant to be.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Hopefully it's getting recorded and we can put this live
to the socials as well, because I feel like you're
about to deliver everything something really insightful.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
We're on camera. But I said, and I was being
sincere now meeting, Hey, I've realized that a lot of
people go the love dies as a marriage gets older.
And I was thinking about the other night and actually
wrote a few things down. You know how I get
reflective sometimes late at night.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Your words were, I have realized that I know what
love is in a marriage, is.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
What I said.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, well, okay, look that sounds ambitious for a break
on air.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Sounds really sweet and endearing. Let's hear it.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
No, okay, So Amy and Ego, our producer, are both
sitting here gleefully waiting for me to make.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
A total I'm actually going to make notes of myself.
So yeah, it's not making fun of no idea what
Amy's like.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You should get that song. I want to know what
love is. It's no, it's a serious break. Stop trivializing it.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Oh so this is a married people. As you get
a bit old, this is what I've realized. If you've
been with your wife for a long time, you know
that it's love, if it just feels like home no
matter where you are, if you feel safe, and that
they're a part of you because they are a part
of you because of the life.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
You've built together, your house, your.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Kids, your circle of friends, every single big decision you've
made together, choosing where to live, what car to buy,
what school your kids go to. The five rotating meals
you eat for dinner every night, you've all either agreed
on that or compromised on one of them because you
care about the other person. So you are inextricably a
(20:41):
part of each other's lives, and literally nothing would be
the same in your life if you'd married someone else.
So a happy marriage is taking all the good things
in the life that you've created together and just trying
to enjoy them every day together and keep working to
keep building that life in the right way and the
(21:02):
right direction, and that becomes bigger and deep. Don't laugh,
you're going to laugh.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Really beautiful, I'm actually getting emotional.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
You just try to keep building that life, and then
once kids come along, of course they become a part
of it, and a lot of your common interests'm building
a good life.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
For them too. I don't know, people get divorced all
the time, and I don't it's messy because everything's into mined.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yes, well, I feel like when you get married you
become part of a team, or like even when you're
in a long term relationship, you're obviously lovers, but you're
also teammates. And if you've got a good teammate, A
lot of people get divorced because their teammate is shit, right,
and that you know, some people put in eighty percent
effort and they only get twenty back. Whereas I think
with you and Georgie, you've got quite a good fifty
(21:48):
to fifty. There's a you know, quite a lot of
equality within your marriage, and you know, if she needs
more of you, you can give more, and vice versa,
and you kind of always have each other's back. Yes,
so that's probably why your marriage feels quite stable and
why you are dishing out all this love advice. Now,
(22:08):
I also think that you've married a pretty amazing woman.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, you are.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Lucky, but I think there is an unrealistic expectation of
marriage just continuing on the sort of dating in early
years and it's staying the same. And it doesn't because
we change as well. Like I'm a drastically different person
from the man Georgie married, and vice versa. She got
a job at Mama Mia. She's a feminist. Now that's
a joke, it's just teasing.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think it comes back to the whole Married men
are also the happiest men. I'd love to hear Georgie's
take on this, see how she feels about it.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I'm so glad. You know what our boss will say,
Why didn't you have her on the line? Why didn't
she come on at the end? It would have been
taken it next level.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Let's call Georgie and see what her take on this is.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Maybe another time, Okay, we're running late next week. You
hear that? Come on, was there some sense in there?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Nice? It was actually really nice, And I think it's
a nice way to look at it as well, because
I think especially women. You know, I am quite often
pulling Ryan up on a lot of things because of
obviously expectations. But sometimes if I shift my thinking and
focus on all the good things, I sometimes do a
(23:24):
bit of reflecting. Go. Actually, you know, he's a pretty
good guy.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
As soon as you accept those weaknesses in lieu of
everything I just said before, and the life you've built
together and everything good for me.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's when the bad outweighs the good. The good should
always outweigh the bad. Nobody's perfect. But as long as
the good continues to outweigh the bad, then I reckon,
you can stick at a marriage forever.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Yeah, and you're right, there are exceptions. Some people marry
the wrong people and the bad people. I'm not going
you must stay in your marriage no matter.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
How bad it is.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
No, No, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
No. I mean I almost left.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You would ever regretted that?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
So bad I would have I'm joking. There you go.
That's what love is.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
This is crisp Age and Amy before we go on
a Saturday.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
We do like to self reflect. The world could use
a whole lot more self reflection some individuals. So we're
gonna kick it off. Nailed it and failed it this week?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Nailed it or felled it?
Speaker 3 (24:24):
And you want to go first?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, my nailed Listen. It's a little bit boring, but
I feel like a better person. I actually stripped all
the beds this week, and I have reef. Wow, this
is a really boring nailed, but I've remade all the
beds with brand new Flannelette sheets and it literally when
you get in there, it's like you're getting inside of
like a kangaroo's pouch.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, Like it's so soft and fluffy, and I am
having the deepest sleeps because I'm so warm and cozy.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's not a little bit boring.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Okay, good, it's really boring, a little boring.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
No, no, no, I you know what.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
A smile came across my face as you were talking
about like curling up in a snuf warm, freshly made.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, yea, yeah, I nailed it.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well done?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
What about you?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
God must have slim pickings for the nailing this week?
For you if that's the what have you nailed? I
read it a whole room at home.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Oh you redid a whole room.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I read it a room. But everything off.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
As you know, my current ADHD obsession is Facebook Marketplace.
A probably are a fixation than an obsession, but I
feel like I nailed getting all the stuff. Like you
know when you look in the rich suburbs on Facebook
and they're getting rid of these they just want this
rug gone, and they're like fifty bucks, just get it
off my hands.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And you look it up and the rugs like three grand.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yes, if you get it new, do you have to
go and pick it all up?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, that's the problem. You couldn't. I would say time exactly.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I would never recommend it to you because it's a
time thing. But if you've got the time.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I've actually got a girlfriend, her husband. He's doing the
stay at home dad thing at the moment, and so
he's got all this time, and she also loves Facebook Marketplace,
and she just buys so much stuff and then just
sends him out to get everything. She's got the best
of both worlds.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
It's a story for another day. Maybe I'll tell you tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
The details of this, but I'm using my wife's Facebook account,
so I'm actually anyway and being a woman online.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, okay, I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
What's your failed?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Ah? Look, my failed was. I got sick when I was,
you know, last two days of Vietnam, and I went
to the chemist over there, and you can get anything
you want over the counter, including antibiotics, which I just
took willy nilly because I was desperate to feel better,
and it gave me a horrendous spout of thrush. But
I've also but I've also lost my sense of smell.
(26:37):
I cannot smell anything, and I feel like it's removed
my sense of taste as well.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So you've got thrush, not anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I got rid of it.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
I had it because I just thought, because okay, you've
literally come in wearing a short skirt going I've got
thrush and I've lost my sense of smell, and I
was like, what.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Does the short dress have to do with me having thrash?
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And it's all cured, because that's what happens to women
when we take really strong antibiotics. It messes with our
flora and our garden, the pH balance and it's just
part of being a woman.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Can you really get anything at the chemist in Vietnam?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Anything you want?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
And you and I didn't even a gift.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I didn't. I thought about getting you some viagra.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh yeah, well I wasn't talking about one of those
snow globes. Yeah, Okay, your fail probably letting this break
go this long without getting to my fail because it's
just I don't know, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
It's a long break.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Hey, I've had a good week. Yes, you have nothing
springs to mind?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Great, there you go, nowaday, do you.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
See this just peeded out and there's no energy left.
See there's my failed.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Okay, great, I ruined the break, You've ruined it. And
at the end of the show it is we've gone
out with a flop.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We're gone out with a big four. Have a great
day everyone. See tomorrow eight am we start well, so
listen to eight am tomorrow. Okay, back
