Speaker 2 (00:24):
Can't explain.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
School rag, Everybody's amdo It's God. This is Chris and
Amy in the Morning Pod.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Kiss Hey, Good morning everyone, Happy Sunday morning, Amy Gerard,
welcome back.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's good to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
School holidays, we love them.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We also love coming into radio and just having a
little break.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's a nice break. Our kids are with our partners
and we're just stick in here.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, live your life, really life.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But your holidays are busted already because your youngest, Kobe,
six years old, is Doney's ankle can't walk, so you're
stuck at home with him. Other kids aboard.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I've done a huge, huge I've made a rookie era.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You've caved on been so I.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Was so strong and I took their iPads. Not my daughter,
because she's fine on an iPad and I accept boundaries
and she's more than happy to stick to them. It's
the two boys who just can't regulate themselves when I
take them off. So my youngest and Bobby have literally
not had iPads almost a year now.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I bet there were different kids, There.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Were different kids, but then Bobby found his, and so
then Bobby had his out, Kobe was trying to watch
Bobby's and then all of a sudden they were just
brawling over the.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Stuck on the couch. Anyway, Yes, watching TV all day.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So I said to Ryan, I was like, listen, I
am struggling with what to do. There's three of them
and we're at home all day every day. I think
maybe we'll just bring the iPads back out for school holidays.
Let's set a two hour time limit so they've got
two hours across the day to watch it. So maybe
that's an hour in the morning, hour in the afternoon
(02:17):
and that's it, and then they'll go after school holidays.
And when I tell you, by day two, they were
already psycho like fighting, like hysterically crying when their two
hours ran out, just constantly Mum, can I have an
extra twenty minutes? Mom, Mom, begging me, and I'm like, no, ere.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
They gaming or YouTube? Roadblocks?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
YouTube's on the bloody TV so they can watch kids
YouTube on there, and I don't know how to block that.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
That's why I don't understand the huge difference between TV
and an iPad. Like you'd go oh, they're both just screens.
But when I say right, time to turn the TV off,
they're like, oh, yeah, no one care TV off and
it's fine. But on the iPad they go mental take
it away like crack.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I think it's because when they're playing roadblocks there and
the screen is like twelve centimeters from their face and
they're like with their little thumbs trying to play these games,
and I'll say, hey, Kobe dinner, put your iPad down,
put your iPad down, put your hey. I usually give
them five ten minute warning everything, and then you take
him off and the meltdown it is cata tonic, like
(03:20):
I've thorn off one of his legs.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I just said to Ryan, wow, I this is
why we took it off them in the first place. Here.
I was thinking maybe they'd slightly mature it over the
last twelve months. Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You had a great run, though, and it does. Like
I know, it's my boys. I still have the iPads.
They bring it up every now and then, but they
are great kids. But I'm confused about the difference between
the TV and the iPad. It's what's on it. Because
my kids are fine with the TV with all the
with Disney, Netflix, whatever. But YouTube on the TV, we've
(03:53):
had to put a code on that. There's something about
YouTube where they have that they sound like a junkie going,
oh please please, just ten more minutes, Yeah, just ten
more minutes. And this is the telling, not the iPad.
But there's something about YouTube.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well, my kids watch gamers gaming on YouTube basically like
their gaming, or they're watching on roadblocks. It's just, you
know what it is. It's I feel sorry for my
kids because there are boys who have the iPads and
they don't seem anywhere near as addicted as mine seem
to get. My two boys just cannot have them like it.
(04:26):
Just it sends them a little bit crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Just save them. Look, boys, I know you don't really
know what sex is yet, but you're going to like it.
And if you're going to be a person that watches
videos of other people gaming online, you will never have sex.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's true, it's true.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Just trust me. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I've got your best interest at heart.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You're gonna want to go outside and kick a footy
at some point if you ever want to get on away.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Do not ever give your kids the iPad back.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now up, good, lesson this is Crisp Page and Amy Gerard.
You know Nicky Glazer, the gorgeous blonde comedian most famous
for doing the roast of Tom Brady and yes like
with the blonde, yes inappropriate. Yes, I think she did
an Awards show recently as well. It was the Golden
Globes anyway, Oh yes, you'll know it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I've got a photo of her.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I want to run this by you about how you'd
feel if this was your husband and what she lets
her husband get away with the husband.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yes, guy has a sexual connection with the girl and
just have sex with her for And I literally wouldn't
care if.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
My husband is that.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
In fact, I like kind of like it. It's like
showing their value.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I want my boyfriend other woman because I just love
women so much.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I mean what.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I mean it is, I suppose if you have a
really good looking husband, then he's going to be someone
who can get other women, and other women are going
to look at whereas like or you could be like
my wife Georgie and you've got me that no one
else wants. Well, but you know you're safe.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's a fetish. I know that there are I've got
a friend who is in an open marriage, So there's
a I don't know what their terms and conditions are
amongst the two of them, but they have an open
marriage so that if she wants to go home with
a guy and vice versa, it's allowed.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Now they couldn't really love each other. Is that that's
an arrangement?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, I don't think it's that they see sex as
very transactional and so there's no feelings and stuff involved.
It's just something that they enjoy doing and blah blah blah.
It's not for everyone. I would not be okay with it.
I walk alongside Ryan and he's a tall, good looking,
(06:40):
handsome man, and I can see other women looking at him,
and I take that as a compliment. Do I want
to think of him?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Would I be okay with him then going and sleeping
with other women? Absolutely not?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Who's his hall past Scarlet?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You're handsome, Scarlet your handsOn, Yes, and mine's Tom Brady,
Tom Brady, Tom Hardy and Ryan kind of looks like
him with better teeth anyway. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like
I look like Scarlet your handsOn too. Right?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What about what about on Ryan's side? Because Ryan, since
you've been married, Yes, to the best of his knowledge,
you have not slept with anyone else?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Have not slept with anyone else?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Since being married?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Sure, yeah, as far as he knows. Now would he?
How is there an amount of money? Is there a
dollar amount? If there was an indecent proposal style thing?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like we actually had a big dinner of a while
ago and we were all sitting at this margarita bar
and everyone was talking about, you know, what would it
take for so and so to sleep with your wife?
And they were all like, you know, fifty grand and
one hundred k. And Ryan said, honestly, you couldn't pay
me one hundred million dollars to let Amy sleep with
another guy. And I was like, oh, that's that's really cute.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Do you think someone could pay a hundred million dollars
to have sex with him? You must, you must be good.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's more that he just no amount of money would
let him share me.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Like even with one hundred million dollars, he could be
sitting on his own private island. But the picture that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Of you, Well, he just said I couldn't then be
with you. I wouldn't be able to look you the same.
And that's what happened in indecent exposure. I remember they
did it and then it all went to yeah, all
went tits up afterwards.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I never saw the ending. No, no, did it go
tits up to it?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I just I don't. I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
If he's gone, hey, I want to pay your wife
to have sex with her, and then everything went fine,
it wouldn't be a very good movie, this is true.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Ye, yeah, yeah, I think it ended badly.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Still one hundred million, that's very.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I would not have I mean, snicky Glazer, hey, yeah,
each to their own.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He could ditch you though for it, like he doesn't
need to be with you if he's got a hundred million.
Oh my god, we're still on ride and he's actually
and why so he's getting the hundred million even though
you're the one having sex with some exactly right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, we'd obviously split it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
But you're getting the rough deal there.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it either, not
for me.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Everyone's got it. Everyone's got a price.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well I don't know, m you do it for free,
Wooden in Beige, you paid to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
This is Crispage and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I hope you're surviving. The school holidays all right as
well if you've got kids, not just mentally, which financially well,
financially we've got like a lot of people, we are
seriously tight on our household budget at the moment because
the interest rates have just gone up again, and having
the kids at home for two weeks is seriously damaging
(09:38):
to your bottom line because if you've got to come
to work or anything there's you've got to pay for
these holiday programs and not cheap.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They don't miss Hey, it's like they know that parents
are desperate and they'll just throw money at the problem.
And I do know. You know, there's so many around
where I live, and they're really great. They're great for
the kids. My kids love going to them, but they're
not cheap, like some of them are. Over one hundred
dollars a day you times out by three, I'm looking
(10:06):
at three hundred dollars a day. You want to do
that more than once week, you're well and truly past.
That's over one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
This is the first holidays that we've actually had to
go through and talk to the kids and go which
of these camps do you really want to do? In
the past my wife's just sort of booked them in
to make the holidays easier. Now it's going, oh god,
you know, which one do you want to do? You
want to do minecraft or I don't know, yeah, like a.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Soccer one or something like that. I think it's particularly hard.
I can talk to this because I actually don't have
any family close by. You know, my parents are two
and a half hours away, My in laws are over
an hour away. So I will lean on, you know,
some of the grandparents for a day or two here
and there, but that's it. And I do feel for
(10:52):
these people who, you know, have family in other countries
or have no support from from grandparents and stuff like that.
I've got girlfriends who have no one and they have
to pay these absorbitant fees for to make sure that
they can continue to work throughout the school holidays, which
is so hard.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Made it's tough about everything is really excause I went
bowling with Henry the other day for Little Daddy Henry
Dave school. We literally, i mean just two games of
bowling the two of us was fifty eight dollars and
that's before some hot chips and a lemonade, and then
after the.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Movie you basically have to take a loan out to
take three kids to the movies. We went as a
family of five, and we still tried to like pre
book like little deals and stuff. We went and got
lollies from Coal's, but five family movie tickets and popcorn
and a drink. Yeah it's in the hundreds.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Because I used to take them and go, oh yeah, well, yeah,
we'll get a popcorn and everything. I'm the same. Now
we're bringing in the packet of lollies, from which brings
back great memories of being a kid, of sneaking in
the you'd go to Woolies or actually it was Franklin's.
We went to vac allowed to bring no, now you
are I think legally they have to let you in
with it. They do not hot food. I don't think
(12:12):
you can bring in a kebab and that's that's good.
But yeah, we used to. Did you do that as
a teenager? You go to the supermarket at Lallies and
like two leaders of coke. Yes, it's room temperature coke
to drink during the movie. Yes, I did, and go
how good's this?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
But do you remember being a kid in school holidays?
Did your parents ever used to do anything.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
No, they didn't spend one hundred dollars on sending me
off to all there was.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
My dad always says, oh, you know, back in the day,
you never went anywhere, and you never did this and
that and blah blah blah. And I said, Dad, you
don't live in this in this generation. Like people, a
lot of most families need two working parents. Yeah, not
a lot of people can survive off just one income. Now,
it'd be great, to be honest, it'd be great, but
especially in Australia, it's such an expensive country to live in.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
When they say, and how do you explain to a
kid at that age when they say, Dad, I'm bored?
How can I explain to a six or an eight
year old that you go, don't you know you will
one day go that being bored is wonderful because it
means you have nothing on and you can do whatever
you want with that time. That's not boredom, that's freedom.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It's like my kids they fight bedtime and I'm like,
don't you know how great sleep is? So you just
want to lay down? If I could be tucked into
bed and have my back tickled every night at seven
thirty pm, you best. You bet your ass. I'm not
fighting that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And you can have a dream sleep. You can be
a Viking, you can be Batman, you can be anyone
you want when you're asleep dream yep. Yeah, Sydney Sweeney's husband,
I've done that one.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
My husband's just started watching all the Euphoria.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Season because and Sydney.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So I said, yeah, let me guess it's so you
can watch season three, isn't it, And he goes, no, No,
I said, yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, because apparently Sydney Sweeney is going to be playing
the only fans. Yeah, I got to catch up on
my Euphoria. But then you go, HBO, Max, it's another
expense can't afford.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
This is Cris Page and Amy Jeride.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Now it'll come as a huge shock to most people
listening that we plan this show. Sometimes I might have
a meeting during the week about what we're going to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, this is actually all orchestrated.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I know, we just try to make it sound like
a mess. But we had our meeting during the week.
We were on Zoom and your husband Ryan crashed in
in the.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Background loves to add in two cents.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Well, I liked these two cents. He guys, I'll tell
you what you've got to do as a break. Talk
about forcing your kids to support a shit sporting team.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I think it comes from the loss that Paramatta suffered
again again last weekend. Obviously, I have some audio here
of Ryan. I was chatting on my socials to some
friend to my online community, and you can actually hear
Ryan in the background so elated when they win.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Listen to this, Yeah, didn't they lose in Golden Point though.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Scored.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
He sounds like a like an excited kid at the showbagstand.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
And I love his passion. But yeah, a long suffering
Eels fan because they're one of those teams that haven't
won a comp.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
In like forty years. He's an Eels tragic.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Every sport has these teams. Who I mean, you know,
I suppose Carlton fans in the AFL are going, oh, yeah,
do you want do you want to put that life
of misery onto your children when your team? Okay, because
there's the team's actual ability to win competitions and things,
But then there's also the sort of brand of the
(15:54):
team and the jersey like NBA for example, Right, Like
every kid wants to be like Lakers Nicks, Chicago Bulls.
Maybe if they want to go retro with Jordan. I've
got a friend who loves the Portland trail Blazers and
buys his kids the merch Okay, and they're like all
(16:16):
their little basketball buddies. So if they rock up and
everyone else is in Lakers, Nicks, Celtics, yeah, he's in
Portland trail Blazers.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I've never been heard of it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, exactly. It's like there's what's the Utah Jazz? But
these crap teams that you go nobody wants to support that.
Don't put it on your kids.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, I think I think long gone are the days
where you just follow in your dad's footsteps. I think
men feel like it's a right of passage to coerce
their children into supporting the same teams that they do.
But I think those days are done. I feel like
kids can grow up and support whatever team they want.
I feel like a lot of men will be absolutely
(16:55):
shaking their heads at this segment. But I feel like
Ryan has lived a life of disappointment and he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Want that for our children. No, he doesn't, So don't
let them support the Eels for a lifetime of disappointment.
Any and men have a very specific image of like,
you know, the type of man that supports a football team.
So he obviously even though they never win competitions. Ryan goes, oh, well,
Eels fans are decent people, that's the main thing. But
(17:25):
everyone any maker go oh, Collingwood fans are like this.
Bulldogs fans are like this. And so you don't go
I do or I don't want my kid to support
that team because it's a part of who they are. Sure,
sure you don't believe me?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I do? Yeah, I do it always.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Hey, I go for the underdog. Maybe there's a nice
message in there supporting her.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, go for the Eels. If you want to go
for the underdo that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Go for a team that never wins. Go against the
Flow Dragons. You can do it. Just dream on.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
This is Crisp Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You spoke to us on air a while back about
your tips for how to meet a rich man. Do
you yeah, I forget. You said hang out at me. Yeah,
you said hang out at the airport.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
He is a rich man. I said, here is an
unusual place where you can pick up and it's.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
At the airport. I'm sure has nothing to do with
money anyway. For a lot of women, meeting the rich
man is the dream. I'm not saying all women. So
I found this story. It's a guy telling the story,
but it's about a woman who decided she wanted a
rich husband and she was going to take matters into
her own hands to get herself a rich tech bro.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, how did she do that?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I have a listen.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
This girl wanted a rich and attractive husband, so she
went on LinkedIn and found guys with impressive job titles
at tech companies. Once she found a guy who was
cute and rich enough for her, she went to his
other social media pages and found out what his dad
did for a living. Once she found out that the
dad topt pottery at a local art studio, she signed
up for his ten week class. Throughout the ten week class,
she's dropping breadcrumbs to other students and the teacher about
(18:59):
what kind of guy she's looking for in a long
term relationship. All she did was go to the Sun's
social media page and list out all of his hobbies
and said, I'd love to find somebody who does all
of these things and has a great job in tech.
The dad obviously hears all of this, and it's like,
oh my gosh, I have a single son who would
be perfect for this girl. So the dad called her
over after class one night and says, Hey, I don't
want this to be weird, but if you want to
go on a blind date with my son, I'd be
(19:19):
happy to ask him to see if he would go
out cheese elated. But she keeps her poker face on it,
and it's like, oh, yeah, that'd be great. Why don't
you set us up for some drinks. They go on
a date and they are vibing. He thinks he found
his dream girl, and she knows that she found what
she wanted because she plucked him off the internet. From
what I know, he is about to propose to her,
which means she is weeks away from realizing her dream
of sitting out by the pool all day while he
(19:39):
goes clickity clock on a keyboard at work all day
bringing home that money.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So question, wow, is she a genius or a psycho?
Bit of both?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
As as I was listening, I was like, Wow, that's
kind of creepy but also genius.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
She's played the long game there, signing up my pottery
course to me, he's dad.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
How did I want to know? How she knew that
the tech guy on LinkedIn was single?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Like, no, I think she found these other song as well.
I think she looked him up. Okay, so she found it.
So she used LinkedIn to find a guy with a
good job title and basically went, Okay, he's a director
at Google or something. Okay, we've got the money. And
then she looked him up on Instagram there was.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
A single girl in the photos or whatever. Okay, I
am like, I am low key impressed. Yes, it's giving
a little crazy vibes.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
But also she knew what she wanted and she went
and got it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
She's not breaking any laws. She I mean, I met
my husband through social media. I didn't stalk his LinkedIn page,
I didn't go out. I actually wasn't even searching for
a husband or a partner. But most people are meeting
partners via some kind of app. Apparently LinkedIn is a
place to pick up now too, so to speak. I've
(21:01):
heard these rout well for.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
The under sixteens as well. LinkedIn is not on the
social media band. Well there you go, so they should
all be going on LinkedIn and sharing the.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Memes to go on to the page and then the pottery.
I mean, it's it's kind of genius.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, it's not just meeting someone on social media though,
Like I mean the steps that she has gone to
is like, will she reveal that to him one day?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Do you think I want to know why she didn't
just send the guy a DM hey, like or like
start liking his photos or.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You know, maybe because then it's like, oh, how'd you
guys meet h DM? And it's not a good story.
It's like, I don't know, she sort of set up
her own fairy tale and he thinks and he thinks
it's a fairy tale.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, but it's not a fairy tale. It's a fake
fairy tale.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah, boy, you don't know what he doesn't know? Yeah,
she knows and now we know. Yeah. I think she
might be a psychopath. I don't know. Intelligent, very but
they always cross over, have you know, psychopaths and intelligent
Like there's no, well, there's no really. Psychopaths is very true,
(22:11):
you know, because they're just like dumb people are like, no,
there's nothing to be angry about because they just don't think.
Whereas I think a really smart person thinks all the
time calculated and goes, you know what, the world's not
that great. I'm gonna go kill some hoboes. That's that's
not smart, is it. No, it's not. I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, this is crisp page.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And before we go, we like to see what the
mums of Australia are talking about this week, and we
go inside the Secret Society to find out of the
Facebook Mums group.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, hey mums, I've actually been trying that viral Jessica
tantrum hack and I'm shocked at how well it's working.
In the moment, it literally snaps my toddler out of
a meltdown almost instantly. But do you want to hear it? Yeah,
the Jessica ha, yes, go, I've got audio here.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I'll just play it. Just say you'll get it.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Jessica, Jessica.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Are you there, Jessica, Jessica, are you here?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Jessica. It literally stops kids in their track because then
you start calling out another person's name.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I mean, it's that kid's not Jessica.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, no, so you call out another name. I mean,
it's just the art of distraction anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Parent knows that I do this with my wife sometimes.
Sure you do, yeah, Jess.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But this mum's ridden. But now I'm seeing experts. Of course,
experts worn it might not be great long term for
helping kids process emotions. Plus, I'm sure it's creepy as
hell for my daughter who's always thinking that someone is
constantly in our house, lurky that mum yells out too,
(24:04):
lurky that mum yells.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Out to someone lurky in the house and lurking.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Okay, Plus I'm sure it's creepy as hell for my
daughter always thinking someone is constantly in our house, lurking
that mum yells out to. Is anyone else on board?
I'm so confused. Do I continue or do I stop?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Big issue?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I'm confused. I don't know. I get it because it's
so weird and random. It snaps their train of tantrum. Yeah,
it's the new fangled slap in the face. I feel
that would have been in the seventies and eighties. They'd
be like wow, wow, whack, and they're.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Like, well, but you know, as a parent, whenever your
kid is having a tantrum, like sure, you might let
a fuse slide because you just can block it out.
But a lot of the times it's all about instantly
quickly distracting them. Oh my god, look at the bird.
I used to say, look at that bird over there. Instant,
instant stop.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Sure, it's just the name wrong. Let us stop in
their tracks and go what do you No.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
It's just about being surprised about something else, or drawing
their attention away from the tantrum that they're having over
a split banana and you're just cutting it short. Now
do I think that there's anything wrong with that?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I think it's clever.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Absolutely not. Who are these experts?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Are the experts?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
But who are they?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You can always trust the experts. If COVID taught us anything,
amy trust the experts.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
These experts, I don't know where they are. Where are
they testing this theory that it's going to be, that
it's going to cause long term effects.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I'll tell you who these experts are. Yeah, the people
that said it was you have to ask a baby
permission before you change its nappy? Remember that story at all? Yeah,
it's those experts.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, So to this mom, I don't think that Jessica
hack is an issue. Whatever stops your toddler from crying
over spilt milk or broken bananas. It's a win for me.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I'm going to use it when I get home the Jessica.
It really works for it. I've got two boys, so
it'll reallyxactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Start calling out somebody else's name next time your youngest
starts having a meltdown over something, Just go Brad, Brad,
and then see what it does.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Now, I'm going to go a girl's name.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Sure, I think it is a girl's name.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Gertrude Beatrice Mulva.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's a heinous name.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Dolores, big issue. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's a great ending.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It always ends like that. It ends with you having
helped someone helpful on me going I don't care, I
don't care, And that's that's just being honest.
My Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Can't explain.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
School rag, Everybody's amdo It's God. This is Chris and
Amy in the Morning Pod.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Kiss Hey, Good morning everyone, Happy Sunday morning, Amy Gerard,
welcome back.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
It's good to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
School holidays, we love them.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We also love coming into radio and just having a
little break.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's a nice break. Our kids are with our partners
and we're just stick in here.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, live your life, really life.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But your holidays are busted already because your youngest, Kobe,
six years old, is Doney's ankle can't walk, so you're
stuck at home with him. Other kids aboard.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
And I've done a huge, huge I've made a rookie era.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You've caved on been so I.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Was so strong and I took their iPads. Not my daughter,
because she's fine on an iPad and I accept boundaries
and she's more than happy to stick to them. It's
the two boys who just can't regulate themselves when I
take them off. So my youngest and Bobby have literally
not had iPads almost a year now.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I bet there were different kids, There.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Were different kids, but then Bobby found his, and so
then Bobby had his out, Kobe was trying to watch
Bobby's and then all of a sudden they were just
brawling over the.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Stuck on the couch. Anyway, Yes, watching TV all day.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
So I said to Ryan, I was like, listen, I
am struggling with what to do. There's three of them
and we're at home all day every day. I think
maybe we'll just bring the iPads back out for school holidays.
Let's set a two hour time limit so they've got
two hours across the day to watch it. So maybe
that's an hour in the morning, hour in the afternoon
(02:17):
and that's it, and then they'll go after school holidays.
And when I tell you, by day two, they were
already psycho like fighting, like hysterically crying when their two
hours ran out, just constantly Mum, can I have an
extra twenty minutes? Mom, Mom, begging me, and I'm like, no, ere.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
They gaming or YouTube? Roadblocks?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
YouTube's on the bloody TV so they can watch kids
YouTube on there, and I don't know how to block that.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
That's why I don't understand the huge difference between TV
and an iPad. Like you'd go oh, they're both just screens.
But when I say right, time to turn the TV off,
they're like, oh, yeah, no one care TV off and
it's fine. But on the iPad they go mental take
it away like crack.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I think it's because when they're playing roadblocks there and
the screen is like twelve centimeters from their face and
they're like with their little thumbs trying to play these games,
and I'll say, hey, Kobe dinner, put your iPad down,
put your iPad down, put your hey. I usually give
them five ten minute warning everything, and then you take
him off and the meltdown it is cata tonic, like
(03:20):
I've thorn off one of his legs.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And I just said to Ryan, wow, I this is
why we took it off them in the first place. Here.
I was thinking maybe they'd slightly mature it over the
last twelve months. Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You had a great run, though, and it does. Like
I know, it's my boys. I still have the iPads.
They bring it up every now and then, but they
are great kids. But I'm confused about the difference between
the TV and the iPad. It's what's on it. Because
my kids are fine with the TV with all the
with Disney, Netflix, whatever. But YouTube on the TV, we've
(03:53):
had to put a code on that. There's something about
YouTube where they have that they sound like a junkie going,
oh please please, just ten more minutes, Yeah, just ten
more minutes. And this is the telling, not the iPad.
But there's something about YouTube.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well, my kids watch gamers gaming on YouTube basically like
their gaming, or they're watching on roadblocks. It's just, you
know what it is. It's I feel sorry for my
kids because there are boys who have the iPads and
they don't seem anywhere near as addicted as mine seem
to get. My two boys just cannot have them like it.
(04:26):
Just it sends them a little bit crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Just save them. Look, boys, I know you don't really
know what sex is yet, but you're going to like it.
And if you're going to be a person that watches
videos of other people gaming online, you will never have sex.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's true, it's true.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Just trust me. It's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I've got your best interest at heart.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You're gonna want to go outside and kick a footy
at some point if you ever want to get on away.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Do not ever give your kids the iPad back.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now up, good, lesson this is Crisp Page and Amy Gerard.
You know Nicky Glazer, the gorgeous blonde comedian most famous
for doing the roast of Tom Brady and yes like
with the blonde, yes inappropriate. Yes, I think she did
an Awards show recently as well. It was the Golden
Globes anyway, Oh yes, you'll know it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I've got a photo of her.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I want to run this by you about how you'd
feel if this was your husband and what she lets
her husband get away with the husband.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yes, guy has a sexual connection with the girl and
just have sex with her for And I literally wouldn't
care if.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
My husband is that.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
In fact, I like kind of like it. It's like
showing their value.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I want my boyfriend other woman because I just love
women so much.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
I mean what.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I mean it is, I suppose if you have a
really good looking husband, then he's going to be someone
who can get other women, and other women are going
to look at whereas like or you could be like
my wife Georgie and you've got me that no one
else wants. Well, but you know you're safe.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's a fetish. I know that there are I've got
a friend who is in an open marriage, So there's
a I don't know what their terms and conditions are
amongst the two of them, but they have an open
marriage so that if she wants to go home with
a guy and vice versa, it's allowed.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Now they couldn't really love each other. Is that that's
an arrangement?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, I don't think it's that they see sex as
very transactional and so there's no feelings and stuff involved.
It's just something that they enjoy doing and blah blah blah.
It's not for everyone. I would not be okay with it.
I walk alongside Ryan and he's a tall, good looking,
(06:40):
handsome man, and I can see other women looking at him,
and I take that as a compliment. Do I want
to think of him?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Would I be okay with him then going and sleeping
with other women? Absolutely not?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Who's his hall past Scarlet?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
You're handsome, Scarlet your handsOn, Yes, and mine's Tom Brady,
Tom Brady, Tom Hardy and Ryan kind of looks like
him with better teeth anyway. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like
I look like Scarlet your handsOn too. Right?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
What about what about on Ryan's side? Because Ryan, since
you've been married, Yes, to the best of his knowledge,
you have not slept with anyone else?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Have not slept with anyone else?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Since being married?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Sure, yeah, as far as he knows. Now would he?
How is there an amount of money? Is there a
dollar amount? If there was an indecent proposal style thing?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like we actually had a big dinner of a while
ago and we were all sitting at this margarita bar
and everyone was talking about, you know, what would it
take for so and so to sleep with your wife?
And they were all like, you know, fifty grand and
one hundred k. And Ryan said, honestly, you couldn't pay
me one hundred million dollars to let Amy sleep with
another guy. And I was like, oh, that's that's really cute.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Do you think someone could pay a hundred million dollars
to have sex with him? You must, you must be good.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's more that he just no amount of money would
let him share me.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Like even with one hundred million dollars, he could be
sitting on his own private island. But the picture that's right.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Of you, Well, he just said I couldn't then be
with you. I wouldn't be able to look you the same.
And that's what happened in indecent exposure. I remember they
did it and then it all went to yeah, all
went tits up afterwards.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I never saw the ending. No, no, did it go
tits up to it?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I just I don't. I can't.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
If he's gone, hey, I want to pay your wife
to have sex with her, and then everything went fine,
it wouldn't be a very good movie, this is true.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Ye, yeah, yeah, I think it ended badly.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Still one hundred million, that's very.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I would not have I mean, snicky Glazer, hey, yeah,
each to their own.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
He could ditch you though for it, like he doesn't
need to be with you if he's got a hundred million.
Oh my god, we're still on ride and he's actually
and why so he's getting the hundred million even though
you're the one having sex with some exactly right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, we'd obviously split it.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
But you're getting the rough deal there.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it either, not
for me.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Everyone's got it. Everyone's got a price.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Well I don't know, m you do it for free,
Wooden in Beige, you paid to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
This is Crispage and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I hope you're surviving. The school holidays all right as
well if you've got kids, not just mentally, which financially well,
financially we've got like a lot of people, we are
seriously tight on our household budget at the moment because
the interest rates have just gone up again, and having
the kids at home for two weeks is seriously damaging
(09:38):
to your bottom line because if you've got to come
to work or anything there's you've got to pay for
these holiday programs and not cheap.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They don't miss Hey, it's like they know that parents
are desperate and they'll just throw money at the problem.
And I do know. You know, there's so many around
where I live, and they're really great. They're great for
the kids. My kids love going to them, but they're
not cheap, like some of them are. Over one hundred
dollars a day you times out by three, I'm looking
(10:06):
at three hundred dollars a day. You want to do
that more than once week, you're well and truly past.
That's over one thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
This is the first holidays that we've actually had to
go through and talk to the kids and go which
of these camps do you really want to do? In
the past my wife's just sort of booked them in
to make the holidays easier. Now it's going, oh god,
you know, which one do you want to do? You
want to do minecraft or I don't know, yeah, like a.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Soccer one or something like that. I think it's particularly hard.
I can talk to this because I actually don't have
any family close by. You know, my parents are two
and a half hours away, My in laws are over
an hour away. So I will lean on, you know,
some of the grandparents for a day or two here
and there, but that's it. And I do feel for
(10:52):
these people who, you know, have family in other countries
or have no support from from grandparents and stuff like that.
I've got girlfriends who have no one and they have
to pay these absorbitant fees for to make sure that
they can continue to work throughout the school holidays, which
is so hard.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Made it's tough about everything is really excause I went
bowling with Henry the other day for Little Daddy Henry
Dave school. We literally, i mean just two games of
bowling the two of us was fifty eight dollars and
that's before some hot chips and a lemonade, and then
after the.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Movie you basically have to take a loan out to
take three kids to the movies. We went as a
family of five, and we still tried to like pre
book like little deals and stuff. We went and got
lollies from Coal's, but five family movie tickets and popcorn
and a drink. Yeah it's in the hundreds.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Because I used to take them and go, oh yeah, well, yeah,
we'll get a popcorn and everything. I'm the same. Now
we're bringing in the packet of lollies, from which brings
back great memories of being a kid, of sneaking in
the you'd go to Woolies or actually it was Franklin's.
We went to vac allowed to bring no, now you
are I think legally they have to let you in
with it. They do not hot food. I don't think
(12:12):
you can bring in a kebab and that's that's good.
But yeah, we used to. Did you do that as
a teenager? You go to the supermarket at Lallies and
like two leaders of coke. Yes, it's room temperature coke
to drink during the movie. Yes, I did, and go
how good's this?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
But do you remember being a kid in school holidays?
Did your parents ever used to do anything.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
No, they didn't spend one hundred dollars on sending me
off to all there was.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
My dad always says, oh, you know, back in the day,
you never went anywhere, and you never did this and
that and blah blah blah. And I said, Dad, you
don't live in this in this generation. Like people, a
lot of most families need two working parents. Yeah, not
a lot of people can survive off just one income. Now,
it'd be great, to be honest, it'd be great, but
especially in Australia, it's such an expensive country to live in.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
When they say, and how do you explain to a
kid at that age when they say, Dad, I'm bored?
How can I explain to a six or an eight
year old that you go, don't you know you will
one day go that being bored is wonderful because it
means you have nothing on and you can do whatever
you want with that time. That's not boredom, that's freedom.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It's like my kids they fight bedtime and I'm like,
don't you know how great sleep is? So you just
want to lay down? If I could be tucked into
bed and have my back tickled every night at seven
thirty pm, you best. You bet your ass. I'm not
fighting that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And you can have a dream sleep. You can be
a Viking, you can be Batman, you can be anyone
you want when you're asleep dream yep. Yeah, Sydney Sweeney's husband,
I've done that one.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
My husband's just started watching all the Euphoria.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Season because and Sydney.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So I said, yeah, let me guess it's so you
can watch season three, isn't it, And he goes, no, No,
I said, yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, because apparently Sydney Sweeney is going to be playing
the only fans. Yeah, I got to catch up on
my Euphoria. But then you go, HBO, Max, it's another
expense can't afford.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
This is Cris Page and Amy Jeride.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Now it'll come as a huge shock to most people
listening that we plan this show. Sometimes I might have
a meeting during the week about what we're going to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, this is actually all orchestrated.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I know, we just try to make it sound like
a mess. But we had our meeting during the week.
We were on Zoom and your husband Ryan crashed in
in the.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Background loves to add in two cents.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Well, I liked these two cents. He guys, I'll tell
you what you've got to do as a break. Talk
about forcing your kids to support a shit sporting team.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I think it comes from the loss that Paramatta suffered
again again last weekend. Obviously, I have some audio here
of Ryan. I was chatting on my socials to some
friend to my online community, and you can actually hear
Ryan in the background so elated when they win.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Listen to this, Yeah, didn't they lose in Golden Point though.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Scored.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
He sounds like a like an excited kid at the showbagstand.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
And I love his passion. But yeah, a long suffering
Eels fan because they're one of those teams that haven't
won a comp.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
In like forty years. He's an Eels tragic.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Every sport has these teams. Who I mean, you know,
I suppose Carlton fans in the AFL are going, oh, yeah,
do you want do you want to put that life
of misery onto your children when your team? Okay, because
there's the team's actual ability to win competitions and things,
But then there's also the sort of brand of the
(15:54):
team and the jersey like NBA for example, Right, Like
every kid wants to be like Lakers Nicks, Chicago Bulls.
Maybe if they want to go retro with Jordan. I've
got a friend who loves the Portland trail Blazers and
buys his kids the merch Okay, and they're like all
(16:16):
their little basketball buddies. So if they rock up and
everyone else is in Lakers, Nicks, Celtics, yeah, he's in
Portland trail Blazers.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I've never been heard of it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, exactly. It's like there's what's the Utah Jazz? But
these crap teams that you go nobody wants to support that.
Don't put it on your kids.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, I think I think long gone are the days
where you just follow in your dad's footsteps. I think
men feel like it's a right of passage to coerce
their children into supporting the same teams that they do.
But I think those days are done. I feel like
kids can grow up and support whatever team they want.
I feel like a lot of men will be absolutely
(16:55):
shaking their heads at this segment. But I feel like
Ryan has lived a life of disappointment and he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Want that for our children. No, he doesn't, So don't
let them support the Eels for a lifetime of disappointment.
Any and men have a very specific image of like,
you know, the type of man that supports a football team.
So he obviously even though they never win competitions. Ryan goes, oh, well,
Eels fans are decent people, that's the main thing. But
(17:25):
everyone any maker go oh, Collingwood fans are like this.
Bulldogs fans are like this. And so you don't go
I do or I don't want my kid to support
that team because it's a part of who they are. Sure,
sure you don't believe me?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I do? Yeah, I do it always.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Hey, I go for the underdog. Maybe there's a nice
message in there supporting her.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Well, go for the Eels. If you want to go
for the underdo that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Go for a team that never wins. Go against the
Flow Dragons. You can do it. Just dream on.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
This is Crisp Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You spoke to us on air a while back about
your tips for how to meet a rich man. Do
you yeah, I forget. You said hang out at me. Yeah,
you said hang out at the airport.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
He is a rich man. I said, here is an
unusual place where you can pick up and it's.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
At the airport. I'm sure has nothing to do with
money anyway. For a lot of women, meeting the rich
man is the dream. I'm not saying all women. So
I found this story. It's a guy telling the story,
but it's about a woman who decided she wanted a
rich husband and she was going to take matters into
her own hands to get herself a rich tech bro.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, how did she do that?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I have a listen.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
This girl wanted a rich and attractive husband, so she
went on LinkedIn and found guys with impressive job titles
at tech companies. Once she found a guy who was
cute and rich enough for her, she went to his
other social media pages and found out what his dad
did for a living. Once she found out that the
dad topt pottery at a local art studio, she signed
up for his ten week class. Throughout the ten week class,
she's dropping breadcrumbs to other students and the teacher about
(18:59):
what kind of guy she's looking for in a long
term relationship. All she did was go to the Sun's
social media page and list out all of his hobbies
and said, I'd love to find somebody who does all
of these things and has a great job in tech.
The dad obviously hears all of this, and it's like,
oh my gosh, I have a single son who would
be perfect for this girl. So the dad called her
over after class one night and says, Hey, I don't
want this to be weird, but if you want to
go on a blind date with my son, I'd be
(19:19):
happy to ask him to see if he would go
out cheese elated. But she keeps her poker face on it,
and it's like, oh, yeah, that'd be great. Why don't
you set us up for some drinks. They go on
a date and they are vibing. He thinks he found
his dream girl, and she knows that she found what
she wanted because she plucked him off the internet. From
what I know, he is about to propose to her,
which means she is weeks away from realizing her dream
of sitting out by the pool all day while he
(19:39):
goes clickity clock on a keyboard at work all day
bringing home that money.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So question, wow, is she a genius or a psycho?
Bit of both?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
As as I was listening, I was like, Wow, that's
kind of creepy but also genius.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
She's played the long game there, signing up my pottery
course to me, he's dad.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
How did I want to know? How she knew that
the tech guy on LinkedIn was single?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Like, no, I think she found these other song as well.
I think she looked him up. Okay, so she found it.
So she used LinkedIn to find a guy with a
good job title and basically went, Okay, he's a director
at Google or something. Okay, we've got the money. And
then she looked him up on Instagram there was.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
A single girl in the photos or whatever. Okay, I
am like, I am low key impressed. Yes, it's giving
a little crazy vibes.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
But also she knew what she wanted and she went
and got it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
She's not breaking any laws. She I mean, I met
my husband through social media. I didn't stalk his LinkedIn page,
I didn't go out. I actually wasn't even searching for
a husband or a partner. But most people are meeting
partners via some kind of app. Apparently LinkedIn is a
place to pick up now too, so to speak. I've
(21:01):
heard these rout well for.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
The under sixteens as well. LinkedIn is not on the
social media band. Well there you go, so they should
all be going on LinkedIn and sharing the.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Memes to go on to the page and then the pottery.
I mean, it's it's kind of genius.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, it's not just meeting someone on social media though,
Like I mean the steps that she has gone to
is like, will she reveal that to him one day?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Do you think I want to know why she didn't
just send the guy a DM hey, like or like
start liking his photos or.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
You know, maybe because then it's like, oh, how'd you
guys meet h DM? And it's not a good story.
It's like, I don't know, she sort of set up
her own fairy tale and he thinks and he thinks
it's a fairy tale.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, but it's not a fairy tale. It's a fake
fairy tale.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah, boy, you don't know what he doesn't know? Yeah,
she knows and now we know. Yeah. I think she
might be a psychopath. I don't know. Intelligent, very but
they always cross over, have you know, psychopaths and intelligent
Like there's no, well, there's no really. Psychopaths is very true,
(22:11):
you know, because they're just like dumb people are like, no,
there's nothing to be angry about because they just don't think.
Whereas I think a really smart person thinks all the
time calculated and goes, you know what, the world's not
that great. I'm gonna go kill some hoboes. That's that's
not smart, is it. No, it's not. I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, this is crisp page.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And before we go, we like to see what the
mums of Australia are talking about this week, and we
go inside the Secret Society to find out of the
Facebook Mums group.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, hey mums, I've actually been trying that viral Jessica
tantrum hack and I'm shocked at how well it's working.
In the moment, it literally snaps my toddler out of
a meltdown almost instantly. But do you want to hear it? Yeah,
the Jessica ha, yes, go, I've got audio here.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
I'll just play it. Just say you'll get it.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Jessica, Jessica.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Are you there, Jessica, Jessica, are you here?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Jessica. It literally stops kids in their track because then
you start calling out another person's name.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I mean, it's that kid's not Jessica.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
No, no, so you call out another name. I mean,
it's just the art of distraction anymore.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Parent knows that I do this with my wife sometimes.
Sure you do, yeah, Jess.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
But this mum's ridden. But now I'm seeing experts. Of course,
experts worn it might not be great long term for
helping kids process emotions. Plus, I'm sure it's creepy as
hell for my daughter who's always thinking that someone is
constantly in our house, lurky that mum yells out too,
(24:04):
lurky that mum yells.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Out to someone lurky in the house and lurking.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Okay, Plus I'm sure it's creepy as hell for my
daughter always thinking someone is constantly in our house, lurking
that mum yells out to. Is anyone else on board?
I'm so confused. Do I continue or do I stop?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Big issue?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
I'm confused. I don't know. I get it because it's
so weird and random. It snaps their train of tantrum. Yeah,
it's the new fangled slap in the face. I feel
that would have been in the seventies and eighties. They'd
be like wow, wow, whack, and they're.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Like, well, but you know, as a parent, whenever your
kid is having a tantrum, like sure, you might let
a fuse slide because you just can block it out.
But a lot of the times it's all about instantly
quickly distracting them. Oh my god, look at the bird.
I used to say, look at that bird over there. Instant,
instant stop.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Sure, it's just the name wrong. Let us stop in
their tracks and go what do you No.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
It's just about being surprised about something else, or drawing
their attention away from the tantrum that they're having over
a split banana and you're just cutting it short. Now
do I think that there's anything wrong with that?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I think it's clever.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Absolutely not. Who are these experts?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Are the experts?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
But who are they?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You can always trust the experts. If COVID taught us anything,
amy trust the experts.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
These experts, I don't know where they are. Where are
they testing this theory that it's going to be, that
it's going to cause long term effects.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I'll tell you who these experts are. Yeah, the people
that said it was you have to ask a baby
permission before you change its nappy? Remember that story at all? Yeah,
it's those experts.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, So to this mom, I don't think that Jessica
hack is an issue. Whatever stops your toddler from crying
over spilt milk or broken bananas. It's a win for me.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
I'm going to use it when I get home the Jessica.
It really works for it. I've got two boys, so
it'll reallyxactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Start calling out somebody else's name next time your youngest
starts having a meltdown over something, Just go Brad, Brad,
and then see what it does.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Now, I'm going to go a girl's name.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Sure, I think it is a girl's name.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Gertrude Beatrice Mulva.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's a heinous name.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Dolores, big issue. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's a great ending.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It always ends like that. It ends with you having
helped someone helpful on me going I don't care, I
don't care, And that's that's just being honest.
