Um listen for the right amount of money? Maybe, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I didn't realize we'd get all in trouble for giving
away a thousand dollars. I didn't think that was a
big deal, but apparently times are tight beneath.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I thought the aim of the game was to give
away the cash.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Not when we're filling in like and it's not in

From what from pneumonia?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, cool, Yeah, I said pneumonia. I pronounced the end
slightly more. But that is Listen, when I think of
Diane Keating, I think of my favorite movie.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Diane Keaton.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh who's Diane Keating? It sounds like an old prime minister. Yeah, yeah,
Diane Keaton. I give my favorite movie, Father of the Bride.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I am still.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm yet to get my daughter watching it with me,
but it's only a matter of time.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I get told I'm like Steve Martin in that movie,
like a get annoyed by everything. And there's the scene
I can relate to him where he flips out in
the supermarket because they don't sell the hot dog buns
in the right amount. In the packet, so he reaped
my open. Anyway, he ends up in jail, and this
is the great Diane Keaton going to so beautiful Bailey Mount.
He's stuck in the jail cell. So she's got him
(02:39):
by the balls and she just goes down to Europe.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You're on fancy cars. I don't know an expensive jewelry.
So we can afford to have a big wedding.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'll get you out of here on one, conditioned banks
that you agree to the following.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I George Stanley Banks. I George Stanley Banks promised to
pull it together and act my age.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I must to pull it together and age.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I will stop hyperventilating, rolling my eyes, unbuttoning my top
color buttons.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Stop perventilating, rolling my eyes and my top color.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I will try to remember my daughter's feelings and how
with every roll of my eyes I am taking away
a piece of her happiness. I love you, Nana.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Good movie, such a good movie. Every time I see
a little snippet or hear.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Either of those voices, I just it's a nostalgic feeling
for me.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We were talking just I reckon a couple of weeks ago.
We were talking about movie sequels. We were doing Happy
Gilmore too, and we're saying, what else would we love
to see a sequel of? And I said, Grandfather of
the Bride would be a great deal. And now you can't. Well,
you could have Steve Martin as a you know.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, he's he's skipped out on Diane and he's got
himself a new.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Wife, or she's died in the thing and it's all
a bit sad and he's a you know, maybe George
Banks is now an alcoholics living in a one bedroom apart.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now what's It's an iconic movie and it just needs
to stay up there, and.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, something's got to give. She was really famous for
his well great movie. But of course The Godfather look
the best movie of all time from nineteen seventy two
was one of her early roles where she was al
Pacino's wife girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Anyway, I don't put those two together, Like when I
think of her, I don't think of The Godfather.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
The only men do Only men watch The Godfather? We
know that.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Diane Keating another sorry I don't even say her name.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh you should do a eulogy. Diane Keating was a
wonderful woman.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
You know what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I have a next door neighbor and her name was
Diane Whiting, and I just keep every time I say
Diane anyway with the sorry Diane Keton.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Well, at least your favorite actor Tom Harding is still alive,
so that's the main thing.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I'm killing it on the on the celebrity names over here, this.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Is Chris Page and Amy.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
How you doing everyone?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Do Page? Do you know how when you get older? Yes,
you grow up and.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Your kids they've left the nest and it's just you
and your husband and then I don't know, maybe your
husband passes.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Away or am I gay in the story?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You're not know? Oh wait, sorry, I am referring to
like females. But okay, for example, your wife passes away,
or maybe your wife leaves you, or maybe you leave
your wife.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm old.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Ali.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, the idea of spending the rest of your remaining
years alone sounds pretty depressing.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Right, Yes, well, I think I've come up. Well.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was listening to a story that my mom was
telling me a few days ago, and I was like,
that is literally the perfect solution for companionship. So my
mom's English, she's got her Mum is living overseas in
the UK, and there's a lovely female.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Couple, or so we thought, living next to my grandma.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And for years and years we've always just thought that
they were a lesbian couple and living happily. It's only
recently come out that they are just best friends. One
of them has left her husband, the other one's husband
left her. Their kids are all in their you know,
late twenties, and they've flown the nest and they're doing
their own thing. And these two girls have gone, hey,
do you want to just move in together? So they've
(06:23):
bought a house together.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Wow, they have their separate.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Bedrooms, but they they just live together as best friends.
Like you know when you're young and you're renting a
flat with a mate.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Oh yeah, it's exactly like that. But in their later
years of life, and I.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Was like, that sounds ideal, Like what a wonderful way
to live out the rest of your years.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Big time coming home and just putting.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
On a movie with a friend, sharing a bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know. They apparently they go out to karaoke and
they've had to tell their kids, you know, no, we're
not actually a lesbian couple.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
We're just two best friends living together.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Do the kids totally buy it? Or they go, oh,
are you just covering you? Do you think will be
weirded out and you're just saying that?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Or isn't that funny that that's where people's head goes?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Why? Well, of course, why I like buying a house
and living together.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I assume you're a couple, But why why is that
so unconventional when realistically it's it's probably financially beneficial. There's
the companionship, there's the friendship. Yeah, they can look out for.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Each other, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Like I just think when you're on your own, you're
paying more half the time. You don't even want to
really cook dinner because you what's the point. You're just
feeding yourself, have a bowl of cereal, and there's not
really anyone.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
To talk to.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Everyone says in their marriage fowls that you're my best friend.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, oh no, you didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I reckon, I've heard it every wedding. Anyway, it's supposed
to be. You know, you're married, I'm marrying my best friend.
But living with your best friend is the dream. I
remember I was, you know, flat mating with my best
friend years ago. Great times. And I got to tell
you that I'm as parts of being gay that I know.
I'm zero percent gay, Like I'm not interested in men
(08:08):
like that the lifestyle like living with a blow come
great mates with and get on really well.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
But I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I guess it sounds good.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It doesn't mean that you have to be gay in
order to do that, just like but you know you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Even my mom and I we assumed that they were
a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, because they're living together their companion.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It just makes so much sense.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I feel like soulmates exist in all different types of form.
That these two women met at hospital. One of them
was a midwife and the other one was giving birth
and they have been friends for over almost three decades,
and they've just shacked up together and they're just living
together like roommates. I think it's really cool.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
What would we give it a name? Would is it companionship?
Would that be the sort of couple names I've got
to put a title on everything, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I mean like companionship, but with friends, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeh, friendship? You know, old ladies shacking up together as friends.
There was a couple of old ladies that way ahead
of their time many years.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The Golden Girls.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
The Golden Girl, that's what they are done.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Oh yeah, they were getting together.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
One day exactly, and everyone thought they were lesbian. I
think only b Arthur was and the rest were straight listen.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I probably wouldn't. I probably wouldn't move in with like
multiple women. You know, it's quite interesting when you live
with people, you kind of get to see their you know,
their quirks and all the things. I would absolutely move
in with my best friend, though we might get sick
of our husbands, you know, in a couple of years,
in a couple of decades time, I said, a couple
of years, and we might just move in together.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
At least with the Golden Girls, their cycles didn't link. Yeah, yeah,
you have to worry about that.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, this is.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Crisp page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Amy Gerrard has well a sunny disposition and a nice
outlook on life. Because you don't watch the.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
News, absolutely, I just find it very heavy.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I watched the news so you don't have to. So
we'll just update you on a few stories.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Here.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It's news to Amy.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
We had some breaking news for you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now it's news to Amy.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
So really easy, oldest reach a couple of headlines here.
If it picks your interest to say yes and yep.
If it's boring, say no. All right, uh Trump's mass
Middle East Plan Middle East and Trump let's leave it.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Okay, so boring.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
World's most expensive number plate for sale?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah see, now I want to know what the number.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Plate is exactly. Let me go and go, okay, what
is it? It's going to cost you one hundred and
twenty thousand pounds what in the UK? So that's like
double exactly, that's a lot. And it's not what you thought.
I thought it might be double O seven.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Or something prints or something.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, no, it's a really weird one. It's one F.
It's and I don't know it's so it's if but
with a one and it's F one backwards. But I
have no idea. Let you think a one or you.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Know, why would that be so expensive? I don't it
because there's limited like numbers and letters or no.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You could go on by one G for a fraction
of the cost. But one F is apparently the number
one status number plate and Britain F one backwards and
it says if.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I won't be spending my money on that let's put
it that way.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
If you spend a quarter a million dollars on that
number plate, yeah, the F stands for Okay, unemployment in
Australia hits a four year high.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah that's good.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Sad.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The true meaning of six seven revealed?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh yeah, hit me.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
So this is the kids these days go on the seven.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
They do the juggling hands with their balls, I mean
with their sorry what they do the juggling hands like
they're juggling balls.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Well, there's a darker meaning to it with there's a
skill Wreck song. It was a basketball as height six
foot seven. Apparently it's police radio code.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You know how if you say ten to four on
the radio, it's like all good or okay, yeah yeah
yeah ten four yep. Well police radio code ten six
to seven means dead body.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
But they're not saying ten six seven. They're just saying
six seven.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah. But the ten is irrelevant because they say it
before everything, like ten to four, ten whatever. But the
six seven is code for a dead boy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And that makes sense because they're saying that.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Originally, the six sevens come out of that Rappers song
Yes And where he's talking about someone dying getting a
cap in his ass in sixty.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Sixty seventh Street in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, but okay, and then the six to seven reference
would obviously be body. Yeah okay, so pot thickens. I mean,
I still think that it makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Still stupid. Yeah, okay. Children watch in shock as Chucky
Cheese is arrested.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I just want to know what he was arrested for.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
That was my first thing. So if you don't know
Chuck E Cheese, it's like a crappy Hamburger chained America.
The kids have parties at I suppose Chuck E Cheese
would be like their mascot Hamburg Grimace or whatever. Anyway,
the kids are all in tears as the police drag
Chuck E Cheese away. He was only done for credit
card fraud, though I'm pleased to see not where your
(13:21):
mind first goes or something I thought even worse. It
takes me back to my childhood. Those kids are scarred
right seeing their mascot arrested. Because I will never forget
a dat. Australia's Wonderland when Huckleberry Hound got a bee
stuck in his head like the mascot, and Huckleberry Hound
(13:43):
flipped out and went Zerk on stage during the show
because there was a bee in the Huckleberry Hound stung well,
he ripped his head off, and yeah, those bees. Final
straw for Prince Andrew, Yes, come on the whole interview
him saying he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein. All of that.
(14:03):
It's orc There's now an email that has come out
with him. It's so creepy to Jeffrey Epps saying it
was after the photo of him and Virginia Guffrey came out.
After that, He's like, I hope it's okay for you.
I'm just going to lay low, but let's play together again.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Soon, play together at like a.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Fifty year old man's and let's play together against sooner
they come out. The email has come out, and it
was sent after he said he'd cut all ties with
Jeffrey Epstein. So everyone's asking how long is the royal
family going to cover for him because he is still
a prince. I mean, Meghan got dethroned for less.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But I mean he could just turn around and say, oh,
I was talking about golf.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, when you're playing with Jeffrey Epstein, I don't know.
It's a bit dodgy.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Anyway, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. There's another headline that's
news to Amy.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride Happy Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Saturday got a good mate of yours in the studio
with us right now. Amy. His name is Sean Zepp's.
He's content creator, he does a million things, but he's
Australia's funniest.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Dad without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I am assured Sean good A.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Thank you so much. The fact that you've said it
means I can call my mum and tell her it's true.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Absolutely, just put that in your bio.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Australia's funniest dad done every single reel.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I don't know how you do it. Every single person
I know can relate to it. It's like you're in
all of our heads.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's well, you've.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Absolutely nailed it. Yeah, you've nailed something else too.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, that's it. We want to talk about your kids,
your husband Josh as well, will get into all of that.
But your project at the moment is something that I
feel is being under serviced in the market. Couldn't agree more,
and that's songs for kids about feces. I feel there's
big money in this right huge, and the.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Fact that the ARIA Awards hasn't made a category for
it is insulting.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Now it's coming, I reckon. We have absolutely been flogging
it home. I think you really hit the nail on
the head when it comes to children and the things
that they find hilarious, and that's pooh.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Listen every single day, all day, morning, noon and night
in the car when you're trying to put them to sleep,
when you just want them to put their shoes on.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Poop jokes, yeah, oh the rain love it.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
And honestly, as adults, we stop thinking it's as funny
as it actually is way too early, and so if
you can embrace it a little bit. And that's why
the song came about, because my kids love to turn
any song on the radio and they just add poop
into it, and I thought I can do that.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Oh my god. My youngest son, Oscar's favorite song is
Waiting for You by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Yeah,
I know, weird, and it's this really sad, slow song
waiting for You, and of course it's waiting.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
For Pooh.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Pooh. Yes, well you've saved the kids some time with this.
It's just a song about poop. It's cold, it's pooh time.
Check it out. Let's have this and I'll let it
breathe it. Here we go, poo time number two time.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Better hurry before it's got a feeling in my tummy.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Straight to my mummy.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't think I can wait. Wait wait is that
a better scout? Till a little bitore. I'm run on
my baby.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I think it's full time number two time.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Now I'm rushing like I'm lad to the gate when.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I'm all bust up to the door.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh no, here comes along. It's now.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I know.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
If you've got kids in the car right now, they're
and it is if you're a grown up as well,
that's really catchy.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I can I ask? Are you going to bring out
a film clip? I feel like you need to.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
There's a whole album coming. So this is just the beginning.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, so this is the launch song. You need a
film clip like even those dance moves just then. You
need like a toilet with backup down, backup dances, choreographed challenge.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Accept that I can see this.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
This is the origin story. This is the moment.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Maybe a cartoon. I'm thinking like mister Hanky from South.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Park, you get a little cartoon pooh it, No, I
want Oddler on YouTube?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah? Well, I mean I still reference mister Hanky Pooh too.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Okay, well it's called It's Pooh Time and it's legit.
It on Spotify, it's on Apple Music. We've looked it up.
It's there Sean Zepps.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I think it's the number one song in the country
written by Sean Zapps song, Oh there you.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Go, number one, straight to the top of the art.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Are your kids. You've got two kids, you and your
husband Josh. Are they boys or girls? A boy girl?
Because this is my question. I've got two boys, and
of course they find pooh and anything scatological hilarious. Do
little girls think poo is as funny or is it
a boy thing?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I don't know when we decided poop is just for boys.
I just think it is just as funny. In fact,
my daughter is more clever with adding poop into songs. Yes,
it's more about the the pros.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Who is not as funny as an adult, like when
you're cleaning it and all of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Sure, have you ever done the nappy gag where you
get a clean nappy and like and just get out nitella,
peanut butter, whatever you know, mix it and then maybe
strawberry jam if you want to get really nasty. What
and go to your partner and go, hey, oh look
at this. Do you think this is normal? And then
have a sniff of it and then lick it and
(19:14):
go and just to see their face and film their reactions.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I say, I've ever done that?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Are you my uncle?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yeah? Your uncle did that?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Did it?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He would like that.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Taste it a little bit, put it on your face. Yeah,
he's still to this day, will do the wet hand. Sorry,
just came out of the bathroom. Yeah, I'm thirty seven,
still squirm.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yes, I want to ask you about your kids. You've
got a boy and a girl. How old are they?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Eat?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Eight?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Oh, they're both of their twins, twins. Cool? You and
your husband Josh raising these kids. So the biological family
model of the mother and the father, do you guys
just go where two dads and that's it? Or do
you find one of you taking on more of a
traditional maternal role and one of you is more daddish
(20:00):
or is it just two dads?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
The reality is the script that exists for parenthood and gosh,
thousands and hundreds of thousands of years doesn't work for us.
We do fall into not a trap, but just boxes
that support our strengths. We mean into our strengths. And
so if you came to our house and you just
walk through a typical week, what you'd notice is we
(20:23):
kind of both weave in and out of a traditional
mother role and a father role, and instead of it
being gender based, it's just based off of what we're
good at. It's actually a really great gift to give
yourself if you're a heterosexual couple. Listening is kind of
going through your to do list and saying, am I
a woman and I'm just doing all the mothering things? Yeah,
and by picking everything up and cleaning and doing all
(20:43):
of the cooking, and am I expected to do the
things my mother did and her mother before that? I
also think one of the great things about not kind
of fitting into the script is that you're forced to
kind of revisit it more constantly, and so it's something
you can do today. You can literally go home, you
can make a list on a piece of paper and
go Have we fallen into the trap that our parents did?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Or is there friction that exists, and.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
That friction is us actually just trying to force ourselves
into these bocks. But I am a mothering individual just innately.
I'm empathetic and warm, and I'm an anxious person. I'm
kind of constantly thinking about what's next for the kids.
I go to bed and I'm over analyzing the next
day and how can I do better. My husband may
or may not do that. He's a father who fathers,
(21:26):
and I'm a dad who mothers, and I'm really proud
of that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Can I ask, in regards to the content that you create,
how do you come up with it? Is it literally
just you're just thinking about your day to day life
and what's going on, and then you turn it into
a video.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
It's a little overwhelming in the sense that I'm always looking. Yeah,
I think the fact that I'm quite an anxious individual
has become a creative superpower. I'm always aware of what's
happening around me to a fault. So when I'm at
the playground and everyone else is just watching their kids,
I am observing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Absorbing it all, and so it's not People.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Think my children are these like wild monsters because of
the characters I play, But really it's the monsters I
see out in the wild when I'm picking up my kids.
If I hear something funny, I just have a word document.
It's sixty pages long and it just has sentence after
sentence after set.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
It's so good.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
And then the elephant in the room. As I worked
an advertising rate for eleven years, and so the bread
and butter of like a narrative structure, a script like
that is something I was trained in for more than
a decade. So I think you just combined both observation scripting.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And you also did dramas because it's very dramatic and
it's so funny to watch.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Your husband, Josh is a radio guy and he used
to work at the ABC. I think everyone who works
in radio it's their dream to quit their job live
on air. Mic Drop. Your husband quit live on air
a couple of years ago, and he's got a podcast now.
But what led to that, Because that's a it's a
ballsy move, and it's a big thing, and everyone thinks
about doing it, no one does it.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Media is in an interesting place in this country and internationally,
and I think it is obvious to anyone with the
Internet that canceled culture is rampant that talent are held
to sometimes a completely unrealistic standard for what they say
and how they say it and when they say it.
And when you work in mainstream media, especially at the ABC,
you know all eyes are on you. And so I
(23:09):
think for having a podcast on the side where you
can do whatever you want, and then you have this
other job where you can't, I think you just got
to a point again, this is his story, but there
are articles and podcasts and go and listen to read
about it where he just thought, I cannot continue to
be a part of a system that's going to hold
me back from just speaking honestly. He's a journalist at
his heart right. That is who he is, that is
(23:29):
what he stands for. He wants to make Australia a
more interesting, diverse space. He believes in having uncomfortable, difficult conversations.
If you can't do that, he doesn't want to be
a part of it.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, and you absolutely can't do that in traditional media.
They very much like to control the narrative.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Sean Zipps, great to meet you, great to talk to you.
I'm best check out Sean' stuff online and of course
it's Pooh Time is the song. If you're a parent.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Or your kids, they will love you. You will too
become a legend in their eyes as well. He introduced
them to it.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
San great to see it. Thanks for coming in.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
This is Cris Page and Amy Gerrard.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Almost time for us to get out of here, but
we haven't had a look deep inside yet. Amy the
secret Society of the Facebook Mums group This.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Week what's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So this mum wrote in and said, I think I
found the ultimate mum hack for a holiday without the
holiday price tag. So instead of splurging on flights or
theme parks, I booked one night at a nice hotel
in our own city. No schedules, no cooking, no chaos.
The kids thought it was an adventure and I actually
got to relax for once. But it got me thinking,
(24:40):
am I being smart and practical in these tough times?
Or am I just being a bit cheap and short
changing my kid's memories?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Big issue?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, no, if the kids enjoyed, If you can't afford
to put the whole family on a plane or even
you know, and you don't want to spend six hours
in the car, yeah, with the kids then it's pretty smart.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, I'm absolutely with you. I think that's very clever.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Kids don't really care where you oh.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
They just want to be out of the house, in
a different environment, doing something that they don't normally do
every day.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I did this recently with Henry. Admittedly it was in
a different city, but we went to visit my brother
and we spent a night. We stayed with him for
a little while. Didn't want to outstay our welcome, so
I booked one night at the Hiatt or something. It
was some last minute special. Took Henry to a five
star hotel. He loved it. There was a heated pool,
(25:36):
we ordered room service, bort a movie. He thought it
was the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I am absolutely I feel like this is something that
I would actually do with my kids, especially Charlie.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
She would absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
But even if I think, even if you booked a room,
let's say the Crown, right, that's a real ritzy, fancy
blah blah, you could probably get two beds. I mean,
I would just chuck one of my kids in between
Ryan and I and then my other two could sleep
in the other bed.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You've got a pool.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
You'd have the buffet, breakfast, you go for a walk
around the city.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
The fact of being in.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
A hotel, blackjack tables, No, just poking in a hotel,
my kids would find an adventure. So I don't think
you're short changing your kid's theme parks and stuff. I
think doing anything that's outside of the norm as a
family is going to feel like an adventure.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
They're going to love it. And I'll tell you why.
The height of excitement when I was a kid was
when we were driving up the coast and we'd stop
somewhere overnight and stay at a motel and you got
to fill out the form the day before for breakfast
the next morning, and breakfast would come through that slot
that'd open up the there's like a it sounds like
you're in jail. It's that kind of vibe, but in
(26:51):
a motel and there's like a doggie door thing that
for breakfast that they open up and slide through the
tray with what you ordered the day before for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I have never stated a motel like that.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I guarantee you there everywhere people did.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
They lock from They look the door from the outside too.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I don't know. Actually, it sounds like a security risk.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Now that I think go out, is there not a yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
My point is that was exciting. So imagine yeah, going
to Crown for an hour. You don't have to worry
about flights, you have.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
To worry about cooking.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You can if you don't want to go out to
a restaurant, you can just get room service.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I think this Mumm is onto a winner here. That
is a very good hack.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Okay, little bit cheap, but no it's not.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Go five stars.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yes, yeah, go five stars.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's still going to be cheaper than you know, booking
flights and accommodation and a bloody carter higher and.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It's on the plane as well. Get to the airport
two hours early. Thanks, that'll be fun with them.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, you're onto a winner.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
All right, Well done do it. That's the Facebook Moms
group this week, and that's our show for this week
as well.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
See tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Oh yeah, sorry back tomorrow you.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Get to do it again.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
We'll do it again tomorrow. I see at eight o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
See you guys.
Speaker 2 (28:03):

the morning.

Hey, good morning everyone, Hi Gerard.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Good morning, Paigey.

We're back in our old.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Normal ship, I know, after a bit of a hiatus,
well from the weekend anyway.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
So during the break, Will and Woody we're off for
the drive show and we filled in there. That was
full on.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
That was fun.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Could you do that all the time? Though?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Um listen for the right amount of money? Maybe, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I didn't realize we'd get all in trouble for giving
away a thousand dollars. I didn't think that was a
big deal, but apparently times are tight beneath.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I thought the aim of the game was to give
away the cash.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Not when we're filling in like and it's not in
ratings that don't want to give her that they want
Will and Woody giving away like cash.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, you idiots. I was so excited for.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Her the filling. People don't give away any money.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Sad News During the week, one of the greats, Diane Keaton,
I passed away to Yeah, I been revealed she had pneumonia,
was actually the cause of death.

ninety four year old Nan had just has just recovered
from a pneumonia.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
From what from pneumonia?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Okay, cool, Yeah, I said pneumonia. I pronounced the end

Diane Keating, I think of my favorite movie.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Diane Keaton.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Oh who's Diane Keating? It sounds like an old prime minister. Yeah, yeah,
Diane Keaton. I give my favorite movie, Father of the Bride.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I am still.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm yet to get my daughter watching it with me,
but it's only a matter of time.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I get told I'm like Steve Martin in that movie,
like a get annoyed by everything. And there's the scene
I can relate to him where he flips out in
the supermarket because they don't sell the hot dog buns
in the right amount. In the packet, so he reaped
my open. Anyway, he ends up in jail, and this
is the great Diane Keaton going to so beautiful Bailey Mount.
He's stuck in the jail cell. So she's got him
(02:39):
by the balls and she just goes down to Europe.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You're on fancy cars. I don't know an expensive jewelry.
So we can afford to have a big wedding.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'll get you out of here on one, conditioned banks
that you agree to the following.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I George Stanley Banks. I George Stanley Banks promised to
pull it together and act my age.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
I must to pull it together and age.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I will stop hyperventilating, rolling my eyes, unbuttoning my top
color buttons.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Stop perventilating, rolling my eyes and my top color.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I will try to remember my daughter's feelings and how
with every roll of my eyes I am taking away
a piece of her happiness. I love you, Nana.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Good movie, such a good movie. Every time I see
a little snippet or hear.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Either of those voices, I just it's a nostalgic feeling
for me.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We were talking just I reckon a couple of weeks ago.
We were talking about movie sequels. We were doing Happy
Gilmore too, and we're saying, what else would we love
to see a sequel of? And I said, Grandfather of
the Bride would be a great deal. And now you can't. Well,
you could have Steve Martin as a you know.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, he's he's skipped out on Diane and he's got
himself a new.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Wife, or she's died in the thing and it's all
a bit sad and he's a you know, maybe George
Banks is now an alcoholics living in a one bedroom apart.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now what's It's an iconic movie and it just needs
to stay up there, and.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, something's got to give. She was really famous for
his well great movie. But of course The Godfather look
the best movie of all time from nineteen seventy two
was one of her early roles where she was al
Pacino's wife girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Anyway, I don't put those two together, Like when I
think of her, I don't think of The Godfather.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
The only men do Only men watch The Godfather? We
know that.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Diane Keating another sorry I don't even say her name.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh you should do a eulogy. Diane Keating was a
wonderful woman.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
You know what it is.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I have a next door neighbor and her name was
Diane Whiting, and I just keep every time I say
Diane anyway with the sorry Diane Keton.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Well, at least your favorite actor Tom Harding is still alive,
so that's the main thing.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I'm killing it on the on the celebrity names over here, this.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Is Chris Page and Amy.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
How you doing everyone?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Do Page? Do you know how when you get older? Yes,
you grow up and.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Your kids they've left the nest and it's just you
and your husband and then I don't know, maybe your
husband passes.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Away or am I gay in the story?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You're not know? Oh wait, sorry, I am referring to
like females. But okay, for example, your wife passes away,
or maybe your wife leaves you, or maybe you leave
your wife.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm old.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Ali.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, the idea of spending the rest of your remaining
years alone sounds pretty depressing.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Right, Yes, well, I think I've come up. Well.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was listening to a story that my mom was
telling me a few days ago, and I was like,
that is literally the perfect solution for companionship. So my
mom's English, she's got her Mum is living overseas in
the UK, and there's a lovely female.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Couple, or so we thought, living next to my grandma.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
And for years and years we've always just thought that
they were a lesbian couple and living happily. It's only
recently come out that they are just best friends. One
of them has left her husband, the other one's husband
left her. Their kids are all in their you know,
late twenties, and they've flown the nest and they're doing
their own thing. And these two girls have gone, hey,
do you want to just move in together? So they've
(06:23):
bought a house together.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Wow, they have their separate.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Bedrooms, but they they just live together as best friends.
Like you know when you're young and you're renting a
flat with a mate.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Oh yeah, it's exactly like that. But in their later
years of life, and I.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Was like, that sounds ideal, Like what a wonderful way
to live out the rest of your years.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Big time coming home and just putting.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
On a movie with a friend, sharing a bottle of wine.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You know. They apparently they go out to karaoke and
they've had to tell their kids, you know, no, we're
not actually a lesbian couple.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
We're just two best friends living together.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Do the kids totally buy it? Or they go, oh,
are you just covering you? Do you think will be
weirded out and you're just saying that?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Or isn't that funny that that's where people's head goes?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Why? Well, of course, why I like buying a house
and living together.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I assume you're a couple, But why why is that
so unconventional when realistically it's it's probably financially beneficial. There's
the companionship, there's the friendship. Yeah, they can look out for.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Each other, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Like I just think when you're on your own, you're
paying more half the time. You don't even want to
really cook dinner because you what's the point. You're just
feeding yourself, have a bowl of cereal, and there's not
really anyone.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
To talk to.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Everyone says in their marriage fowls that you're my best friend.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah, oh no, you didn't say that.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I reckon, I've heard it every wedding. Anyway, it's supposed
to be. You know, you're married, I'm marrying my best friend.
But living with your best friend is the dream. I
remember I was, you know, flat mating with my best
friend years ago. Great times. And I got to tell
you that I'm as parts of being gay that I know.
I'm zero percent gay, Like I'm not interested in men
(08:08):
like that the lifestyle like living with a blow come
great mates with and get on really well.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
But I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I guess it sounds good.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It doesn't mean that you have to be gay in
order to do that, just like but you know you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Even my mom and I we assumed that they were
a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, because they're living together their companion.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It just makes so much sense.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I feel like soulmates exist in all different types of form.
That these two women met at hospital. One of them
was a midwife and the other one was giving birth
and they have been friends for over almost three decades,
and they've just shacked up together and they're just living
together like roommates. I think it's really cool.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
What would we give it a name? Would is it companionship?
Would that be the sort of couple names I've got
to put a title on everything, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I mean like companionship, but with friends, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeh, friendship? You know, old ladies shacking up together as friends.
There was a couple of old ladies that way ahead
of their time many years.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
The Golden Girls.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
The Golden Girl, that's what they are done.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Oh yeah, they were getting together.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
One day exactly, and everyone thought they were lesbian. I
think only b Arthur was and the rest were straight listen.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I probably wouldn't. I probably wouldn't move in with like
multiple women. You know, it's quite interesting when you live
with people, you kind of get to see their you know,
their quirks and all the things. I would absolutely move
in with my best friend, though we might get sick
of our husbands, you know, in a couple of years,
in a couple of decades time, I said, a couple
of years, and we might just move in together.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
At least with the Golden Girls, their cycles didn't link. Yeah, yeah,
you have to worry about that.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, this is.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Crisp page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Amy Gerrard has well a sunny disposition and a nice
outlook on life. Because you don't watch the.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
News, absolutely, I just find it very heavy.
Speaker 3 (10:02):

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now it's news to Amy.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
So really easy, oldest reach a couple of headlines here.
If it picks your interest to say yes and yep.
If it's boring, say no. All right, uh Trump's mass
Middle East Plan Middle East and Trump let's leave it.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Okay, so boring.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
World's most expensive number plate for sale?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah see, now I want to know what the number.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Plate is exactly. Let me go and go, okay, what
is it? It's going to cost you one hundred and
twenty thousand pounds what in the UK? So that's like
double exactly, that's a lot. And it's not what you thought.
I thought it might be double O seven.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Or something prints or something.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, no, it's a really weird one. It's one F.
It's and I don't know it's so it's if but
with a one and it's F one backwards. But I
have no idea. Let you think a one or you.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Know, why would that be so expensive? I don't it
because there's limited like numbers and letters or no.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You could go on by one G for a fraction
of the cost. But one F is apparently the number
one status number plate and Britain F one backwards and
it says if.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
I won't be spending my money on that let's put
it that way.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
If you spend a quarter a million dollars on that
number plate, yeah, the F stands for Okay, unemployment in
Australia hits a four year high.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah that's good.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Sad.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
The true meaning of six seven revealed?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Oh yeah, hit me.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
So this is the kids these days go on the seven.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
They do the juggling hands with their balls, I mean
with their sorry what they do the juggling hands like
they're juggling balls.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Well, there's a darker meaning to it with there's a
skill Wreck song. It was a basketball as height six
foot seven. Apparently it's police radio code.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
You know how if you say ten to four on
the radio, it's like all good or okay, yeah yeah
yeah ten four yep. Well police radio code ten six
to seven means dead body.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
But they're not saying ten six seven. They're just saying
six seven.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah. But the ten is irrelevant because they say it
before everything, like ten to four, ten whatever. But the
six seven is code for a dead boy.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And that makes sense because they're saying that.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Originally, the six sevens come out of that Rappers song
Yes And where he's talking about someone dying getting a
cap in his ass in sixty.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Sixty seventh Street in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, but okay, and then the six to seven reference
would obviously be body. Yeah okay, so pot thickens. I mean,
I still think that it makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Still stupid. Yeah, okay. Children watch in shock as Chucky
Cheese is arrested.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I just want to know what he was arrested for.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
That was my first thing. So if you don't know
Chuck E Cheese, it's like a crappy Hamburger chained America.
The kids have parties at I suppose Chuck E Cheese
would be like their mascot Hamburg Grimace or whatever. Anyway,
the kids are all in tears as the police drag
Chuck E Cheese away. He was only done for credit
card fraud, though I'm pleased to see not where your
(13:21):
mind first goes or something I thought even worse. It
takes me back to my childhood. Those kids are scarred
right seeing their mascot arrested. Because I will never forget
a dat. Australia's Wonderland when Huckleberry Hound got a bee
stuck in his head like the mascot, and Huckleberry Hound
(13:43):
flipped out and went Zerk on stage during the show
because there was a bee in the Huckleberry Hound stung well,
he ripped his head off, and yeah, those bees. Final
straw for Prince Andrew, Yes, come on the whole interview
him saying he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein. All of that.
(14:03):
It's orc There's now an email that has come out
with him. It's so creepy to Jeffrey Epps saying it
was after the photo of him and Virginia Guffrey came out.
After that, He's like, I hope it's okay for you.
I'm just going to lay low, but let's play together again.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Soon, play together at like a.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Fifty year old man's and let's play together against sooner
they come out. The email has come out, and it
was sent after he said he'd cut all ties with
Jeffrey Epstein. So everyone's asking how long is the royal
family going to cover for him because he is still
a prince. I mean, Meghan got dethroned for less.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But I mean he could just turn around and say, oh,
I was talking about golf.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, when you're playing with Jeffrey Epstein, I don't know.
It's a bit dodgy.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Anyway, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. There's another headline that's
news to Amy.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride Happy Saturday.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Saturday got a good mate of yours in the studio
with us right now. Amy. His name is Sean Zepp's.
He's content creator, he does a million things, but he's
Australia's funniest.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Dad without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I am assured Sean good A.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Thank you so much. The fact that you've said it
means I can call my mum and tell her it's true.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Absolutely, just put that in your bio.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Australia's funniest dad done every single reel.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I don't know how you do it. Every single person
I know can relate to it. It's like you're in
all of our heads.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's well, you've.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Absolutely nailed it. Yeah, you've nailed something else too.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, that's it. We want to talk about your kids,
your husband Josh as well, will get into all of that.
But your project at the moment is something that I
feel is being under serviced in the market. Couldn't agree more,
and that's songs for kids about feces. I feel there's
big money in this right huge, and the.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Fact that the ARIA Awards hasn't made a category for
it is insulting.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Now it's coming, I reckon. We have absolutely been flogging
it home. I think you really hit the nail on
the head when it comes to children and the things
that they find hilarious, and that's pooh.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Listen every single day, all day, morning, noon and night
in the car when you're trying to put them to sleep,
when you just want them to put their shoes on.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Poop jokes, yeah, oh the rain love it.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
And honestly, as adults, we stop thinking it's as funny
as it actually is way too early, and so if
you can embrace it a little bit. And that's why
the song came about, because my kids love to turn
any song on the radio and they just add poop
into it, and I thought I can do that.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Oh my god. My youngest son, Oscar's favorite song is
Waiting for You by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Yeah,
I know, weird, and it's this really sad, slow song
waiting for You, and of course it's waiting.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
For Pooh.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Pooh. Yes, well you've saved the kids some time with this.
It's just a song about poop. It's cold, it's pooh time.
Check it out. Let's have this and I'll let it
breathe it. Here we go, poo time number two time.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Better hurry before it's got a feeling in my tummy.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Straight to my mummy.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I don't think I can wait. Wait wait is that
a better scout? Till a little bitore. I'm run on
my baby.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I think it's full time number two time.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Now I'm rushing like I'm lad to the gate when.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
I'm all bust up to the door.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh no, here comes along. It's now.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I know.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
If you've got kids in the car right now, they're
and it is if you're a grown up as well,
that's really catchy.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
I can I ask? Are you going to bring out
a film clip? I feel like you need to.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
There's a whole album coming. So this is just the beginning.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, so this is the launch song. You need a
film clip like even those dance moves just then. You
need like a toilet with backup down, backup dances, choreographed challenge.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Accept that I can see this.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
This is the origin story. This is the moment.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Maybe a cartoon. I'm thinking like mister Hanky from South.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Park, you get a little cartoon pooh it, No, I
want Oddler on YouTube?
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah? Well, I mean I still reference mister Hanky Pooh too.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Okay, well it's called It's Pooh Time and it's legit.
It on Spotify, it's on Apple Music. We've looked it up.
It's there Sean Zepps.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I think it's the number one song in the country
written by Sean Zapps song, Oh there you.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Go, number one, straight to the top of the art.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Are your kids. You've got two kids, you and your
husband Josh. Are they boys or girls? A boy girl?
Because this is my question. I've got two boys, and
of course they find pooh and anything scatological hilarious. Do
little girls think poo is as funny or is it
a boy thing?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I don't know when we decided poop is just for boys.
I just think it is just as funny. In fact,
my daughter is more clever with adding poop into songs. Yes,
it's more about the the pros.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Who is not as funny as an adult, like when
you're cleaning it and all of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Sure, have you ever done the nappy gag where you
get a clean nappy and like and just get out nitella,
peanut butter, whatever you know, mix it and then maybe
strawberry jam if you want to get really nasty. What
and go to your partner and go, hey, oh look
at this. Do you think this is normal? And then
have a sniff of it and then lick it and
(19:14):
go and just to see their face and film their reactions.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I say, I've ever done that?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Are you my uncle?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yeah? Your uncle did that?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Did it?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He would like that.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Taste it a little bit, put it on your face. Yeah,
he's still to this day, will do the wet hand. Sorry,
just came out of the bathroom. Yeah, I'm thirty seven,
still squirm.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yes, I want to ask you about your kids. You've
got a boy and a girl. How old are they?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Eat?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Eight?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Oh, they're both of their twins, twins. Cool? You and
your husband Josh raising these kids. So the biological family
model of the mother and the father, do you guys
just go where two dads and that's it? Or do
you find one of you taking on more of a
traditional maternal role and one of you is more daddish
(20:00):
or is it just two dads?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
The reality is the script that exists for parenthood and gosh,
thousands and hundreds of thousands of years doesn't work for us.
We do fall into not a trap, but just boxes
that support our strengths. We mean into our strengths. And
so if you came to our house and you just
walk through a typical week, what you'd notice is we
(20:23):
kind of both weave in and out of a traditional
mother role and a father role, and instead of it
being gender based, it's just based off of what we're
good at. It's actually a really great gift to give
yourself if you're a heterosexual couple. Listening is kind of
going through your to do list and saying, am I
a woman and I'm just doing all the mothering things? Yeah,
and by picking everything up and cleaning and doing all
(20:43):
of the cooking, and am I expected to do the
things my mother did and her mother before that? I
also think one of the great things about not kind
of fitting into the script is that you're forced to
kind of revisit it more constantly, and so it's something
you can do today. You can literally go home, you
can make a list on a piece of paper and
go Have we fallen into the trap that our parents did?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Or is there friction that exists, and.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
That friction is us actually just trying to force ourselves
into these bocks. But I am a mothering individual just innately.
I'm empathetic and warm, and I'm an anxious person. I'm
kind of constantly thinking about what's next for the kids.
I go to bed and I'm over analyzing the next
day and how can I do better. My husband may
or may not do that. He's a father who fathers,
(21:26):
and I'm a dad who mothers, and I'm really proud
of that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Can I ask, in regards to the content that you create,
how do you come up with it? Is it literally
just you're just thinking about your day to day life
and what's going on, and then you turn it into
a video.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
It's a little overwhelming in the sense that I'm always looking. Yeah,
I think the fact that I'm quite an anxious individual
has become a creative superpower. I'm always aware of what's
happening around me to a fault. So when I'm at
the playground and everyone else is just watching their kids,
I am observing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Absorbing it all, and so it's not People.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Think my children are these like wild monsters because of
the characters I play, But really it's the monsters I
see out in the wild when I'm picking up my kids.
If I hear something funny, I just have a word document.
It's sixty pages long and it just has sentence after
sentence after set.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
It's so good.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
And then the elephant in the room. As I worked
an advertising rate for eleven years, and so the bread
and butter of like a narrative structure, a script like
that is something I was trained in for more than
a decade. So I think you just combined both observation scripting.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
And you also did dramas because it's very dramatic and
it's so funny to watch.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Your husband, Josh is a radio guy and he used
to work at the ABC. I think everyone who works
in radio it's their dream to quit their job live
on air. Mic Drop. Your husband quit live on air
a couple of years ago, and he's got a podcast now.
But what led to that, Because that's a it's a
ballsy move, and it's a big thing, and everyone thinks
about doing it, no one does it.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Media is in an interesting place in this country and internationally,
and I think it is obvious to anyone with the
Internet that canceled culture is rampant that talent are held
to sometimes a completely unrealistic standard for what they say
and how they say it and when they say it.
And when you work in mainstream media, especially at the ABC,
you know all eyes are on you. And so I
(23:09):
think for having a podcast on the side where you
can do whatever you want, and then you have this
other job where you can't, I think you just got
to a point again, this is his story, but there
are articles and podcasts and go and listen to read
about it where he just thought, I cannot continue to
be a part of a system that's going to hold
me back from just speaking honestly. He's a journalist at
his heart right. That is who he is, that is
(23:29):
what he stands for. He wants to make Australia a
more interesting, diverse space. He believes in having uncomfortable, difficult conversations.
If you can't do that, he doesn't want to be
a part of it.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, and you absolutely can't do that in traditional media.
They very much like to control the narrative.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Sean Zipps, great to meet you, great to talk to you.
I'm best check out Sean' stuff online and of course
it's Pooh Time is the song. If you're a parent.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Or your kids, they will love you. You will too
become a legend in their eyes as well. He introduced
them to it.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
San great to see it. Thanks for coming in.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
This is Cris Page and Amy Gerrard.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Almost time for us to get out of here, but
we haven't had a look deep inside yet. Amy the
secret Society of the Facebook Mums group This.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Week what's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So this mum wrote in and said, I think I
found the ultimate mum hack for a holiday without the
holiday price tag. So instead of splurging on flights or
theme parks, I booked one night at a nice hotel
in our own city. No schedules, no cooking, no chaos.
The kids thought it was an adventure and I actually
got to relax for once. But it got me thinking,
(24:40):
am I being smart and practical in these tough times?
Or am I just being a bit cheap and short
changing my kid's memories?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Big issue?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, no, if the kids enjoyed, If you can't afford
to put the whole family on a plane or even
you know, and you don't want to spend six hours
in the car, yeah, with the kids then it's pretty smart.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, I'm absolutely with you. I think that's very clever.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Kids don't really care where you oh.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
They just want to be out of the house, in
a different environment, doing something that they don't normally do
every day.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I did this recently with Henry. Admittedly it was in
a different city, but we went to visit my brother
and we spent a night. We stayed with him for
a little while. Didn't want to outstay our welcome, so
I booked one night at the Hiatt or something. It
was some last minute special. Took Henry to a five
star hotel. He loved it. There was a heated pool,
(25:36):
we ordered room service, bort a movie. He thought it
was the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I am absolutely I feel like this is something that
I would actually do with my kids, especially Charlie.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
She would absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
But even if I think, even if you booked a room,
let's say the Crown, right, that's a real ritzy, fancy
blah blah, you could probably get two beds. I mean,
I would just chuck one of my kids in between
Ryan and I and then my other two could sleep
in the other bed.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
You've got a pool.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
You'd have the buffet, breakfast, you go for a walk
around the city.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
The fact of being in.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
A hotel, blackjack tables, No, just poking in a hotel,
my kids would find an adventure. So I don't think
you're short changing your kid's theme parks and stuff. I
think doing anything that's outside of the norm as a
family is going to feel like an adventure.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
They're going to love it. And I'll tell you why.
The height of excitement when I was a kid was
when we were driving up the coast and we'd stop
somewhere overnight and stay at a motel and you got
to fill out the form the day before for breakfast
the next morning, and breakfast would come through that slot
that'd open up the there's like a it sounds like
you're in jail. It's that kind of vibe, but in
(26:51):
a motel and there's like a doggie door thing that
for breakfast that they open up and slide through the
tray with what you ordered the day before for breakfast.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I have never stated a motel like that.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I guarantee you there everywhere people did.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
They lock from They look the door from the outside too.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I don't know. Actually, it sounds like a security risk.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Now that I think go out, is there not a yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
My point is that was exciting. So imagine yeah, going
to Crown for an hour. You don't have to worry
about flights, you have.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
To worry about cooking.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
You can if you don't want to go out to
a restaurant, you can just get room service.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I think this Mumm is onto a winner here. That
is a very good hack.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Okay, little bit cheap, but no it's not.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Go five stars.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yes, yeah, go five stars.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's still going to be cheaper than you know, booking
flights and accommodation and a bloody carter higher and.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
It's on the plane as well. Get to the airport
two hours early. Thanks, that'll be fun with them.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, you're onto a winner.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
All right, Well done do it. That's the Facebook Moms
group this week, and that's our show for this week
as well.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
See tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Oh yeah, sorry back tomorrow you.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Get to do it again.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
We'll do it again tomorrow. I see at eight o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
See you guys.
