You said no.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
The fact that you have the self awareness yes to question,
it probably means you're sane.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well insane people don't do any self reflecting.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
They're busy throwing poo at the wall. Literally, speaking of pooh,
this is the moment yesterday that I had the am
I crazy moment? So outside my house, the road is
slightly sloped and it's under this enormous gum tree that
a what is a group.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Of bats called a pain in the aarth.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Collective noun for bats. A pain in the ass of bats. Yep,
lives in this gumtry and craps all over the road.
And I mean like they all sit in the one
spot in the tree. So every morning there's guano.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh you found the name of batshit.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, I've seen Ace Venturer too. Did you know that
guano bat feces is probably the best fertilizer. So I
got a big crate and laid it down on its
side down the hill from the batpoo, and then hosed
it so all the batpooy iguanery water went into this crate,
(02:13):
and then I poured it on my vegetable garden.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh my god, and these vegetables. Do you then pull
them out of the garden and eat them?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No? I stick them up. No, of course I eat them.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Is it safe?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's just an organic fertilized People put horse poo, cow poo,
chicken poo, everything else on there.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Didn't COVID come from bats.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
COVID was made in a lab.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, we go, here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's not that got proven. It's yeah, the conspiracy people
were right. Okay, anyway, am I crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
You've gone batshit crazy?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Okay, Yeah, that feels maybe that's where it came from.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, so whilst the rest of Australia is busy working,
you're hosing batshit off your road outside and fertilizing your
garden with it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You should see my garden, it flourishing. Bring it in.
You can taste some of.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
My cad No, I'm fine, Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I'm going to bring you in a capsicum.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
When you start growing a tail or.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You are right though, that's pre where bat shit crazy
came from.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Some wife walked out and her husband's out on the
road collecting guano.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You're batshit crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's Chris and Amy in the morning, coming up next
to our friends at chemist Warehouse are here and they've
brought in a surprise for our producer Ego.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Amy. They've got two syringes.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
One of them has the flu vaccine, the other one
is full of deep heat, and he gets to choose
which one.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
A random one's going to be injected into his.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Own Choose your own adventure.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
The weather's cooling down, Amy, Winter is coming.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Winter is coming.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Ordered my firewood.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'm bringing out the boots.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Love the fire. But the other thing that's coming is
the flu. It's flu season.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I actually have PTSD from my A and B at once,
influenza A and B at the same time. And it's
the only time in my life apart from when I
nearly drowned, where I thought I was actually going to die.
It then migrated into pneumonia, so it was it was
a serious couple of weeks for me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I've got your guardian Angel here, Simone from Chemist Squarehouse
is a pharmacist and he's here, Hi, Simone. So it's
good to get the flu shot now before winter? Is
that what I'm assuming correctly, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
You're absolutely right. So now it's the perfect time to
get it. So it takes about two weeks to kick in,
so we recommend getting it late April early May kicks
in right before winter starts and carries you through all
the way through to September.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
So perfect time. Well, can I say when I got
sick last year, I actually got it from a girlfriend
of mine. We came home on a plane and she
ended up testing positive for influenza B. I ended up
testing positive for influenza A and B. Didn't know you
could get them both at the same time, but she
was absolutely fine three to four days later, and it
(04:54):
took me about four to five weeks to recover properly.
And it was because she had gotten the flu shot,
so she had the symptoms, but the severity of it
was far less and worse than what I endured.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, Simone's coming with gifts this morning, and they are
few jabs. Now already had mine, so I'm sorted. Amy's
an anti vaxa our produce Sitego has kindly rolled up
his sleeve.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Here how you feel? Look at that arm. He's got
the one gun out.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
He's actually been going to the gym just so we
could get his guns out.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yes, it's good, Ego, well done.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Thank you anything for a free something?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I mean you know what. That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
We heard, Hey, if someone comes in and gives you
a free he said yes, And now it's a needle. Okay,
So Simone is just jabbing that in.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
He didn't even flinch straight in. There you goes so easy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That was so quick.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Look at it go in.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Are you feeling as it started? Ah? Done?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Oh that is easy.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Now that's yeah, there you go. I didn't realize it
even started. Took five seconds.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Maybe you need to get simone, but she.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Simone's very good now, So it takes two weeks for
the vaccine to kick in. What about the five G
that is that immediately?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
No, No, we don't have any I'm aware.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I am joking. There's no five paces. There's no five
G in jabs. So do it get into chemists warehouse?
Can you just walk in or do you need an appointment?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Yeah, you can definitely walk into any store or our
farmers is are happy to help, so we can help
you book it in the store. You can also book
online at chemist ware House dot com dot a.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
U forward slash flu and is it true that like
the flu constantly is mutating? Yes? Are they're constantly new
variations of it?
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Yeah, it tends to change quite quickly. So we recommend
getting it done every year. Last years vaccine is not
going to protect you against this years virus, so get
them done every twelve months and good yes.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yes, all right, Well, if you want the flu shot,
Chemist Warehouse is the place to go. Get in store
online chemist warehouse dot com dot a. You make yourself
booking for a jab sam own, great to meet you.
Thanks for coming in and making our producer safe feel stronger.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Had Mother's Day last week?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You're recovering, Okay, I had a great Mother's Day this year. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
We keeping our finger on the pulse of what the
mums of Australia are talking about. So every week we
check in and find out on the Facebook Mums group.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
This mum has ridden feeling like I've hit a parenting
milestone I wasn't emotionally prepared for. My twelve year old
has started asking for a phone and I honestly don't
know what the right age is anymore. I want them
to be safe and reachable, but I also don't want
to introduce screens, socials and pressures before they're ready. Has
anyone had to do this recently? I'd love to learn
from any mistakes or wins that you have had before
(07:44):
we dive in big issue. It's a really good.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Question, is it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I don't want to blow our powder too early here,
because I know a break tends to go for three
or four minutes. But you just get them a phone
or a watch or something like that that's able to
text and call.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yes and nothing else.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So they're called dumb phones.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, dumb phones. At a Nokia fifty one to ten.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You can actually get Apple iPhones that have no Internet.
They're called dumb phones, and certain shops will sell them.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
They still cost two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Actually don't know how much they cost. But I will
be very very soon at this exact same predicament as
his mum, because even kids now in my kids primary school,
they have phones, and a lot of these kids are
getting on buses and they're going to schools a little
bit further away. And I understand the parents need and
(08:33):
want to know where their kid is and be able
to contact them, or if the kid gets in trouble,
you want to know that they can call us or
you know, send a text or whatever. However, giving your
kid a mobile phone that has the Internet at the
age of twelve, I am so against that.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I need a phone as in a telephone. You're to
stop calling iPhones phones. Okay, this isn't a phone. This
is a.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Computer with like.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Entire worvery type of pornography, hate speech, everything on it.
Like iPhones, they're not phones, they're evil little devices.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Look into getting a phone or investing in an old
school ninety two knocking? What are they knocking? A ninety
two ten?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Or they can play a snake on the bus on
their trip.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I'll get them a BlackBerry. It's like a little mini laptop, right,
the little buttons. My fat thumb wouldn't even be able
to use them.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, but dumb phone, dumb phone.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's what I'll be doing for my kids when they
go to high school.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Nice easy one.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Today, this is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Happy Saturday, Girard Page Dot.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That's goodness hanging out with you on the weekend, is
it said of my family?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah. Well that leads me to this next topic. Are
you unhappy in your marriage? Are you sure?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I joke a lot about my marriage. I'm really happy.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I'm gonna call BS on that, and I think this
is the issue. Right. I'm not saying that everyone that's
married is completely miserable twenty four to seven, But what
I have noticed with all my married friends is people
who are somewhat disappointed. And I really do feel like
(10:20):
we have Disney movies to blame. I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
And married people are all unhappy?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yes, because I feel like when you were a child.
There is this whole conception that as you grow up
you find a partner, prince or a princess, and you
get married and you live happily ever after, But you
actually don't live happily ever after. And I know that
marriage is a constant work in process, and I can
(10:50):
speak to my own personal lived in experiences. I have
some really great times with Ryan, and then we have
some really rough seasons as well. But I just feel
like so many conversations that I'm having with girlfriends at
the moment are around like, is this marriage? Is this
what marriage is all about? How producible?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Our producer has gone? Hannes sec did you mention unhappiness?
I need to get in on this. What's up, buddy?
I have to buzz in here.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
My wife and I last weekend watched Wuthering Heights and
after the movie she turned to me and she's, why
don't you love me like he loves right? And it's
impossible because just infatuated.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's ridiculous. I'm not ready for the Lord. He managed
your expectations.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
And I think that's what as women, we all want,
that passionate, like indescribable love that comes from all these
love stories and all these Disney movies, and when you
think of marriage, you think of you know, love, hearts
and rainbows and being swept up in all of those beautiful, warm,
(11:56):
fuzzy feelings, and then you actually get married and you're like,
oh wow, it's nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I don't think the movies in the fairy tale is
as much of a problem for men.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I can't speak for women.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's not for men.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
But being married, I wouldn't say I'm unhappy at all. Actually,
I'll tell you how I stay happy married. I'm not unhappy.
But since I've been married, I would say like a
part of my soul has died. Aha, And there was
a fire inside me when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It's called becoming really complacent, which is what has happened
to you.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, but also there's just no fight, so you just
don't bother with anything.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
See that, And I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's not giving happy that touches on the whole. The
happiest people in the world are married men and single
divorced women. Right. It comes back to it, because I
think the thing is women always want more, whereas.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Men men will settle.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Men are happy just being in a marriage that is
a little bit like Blase a right.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Men are pragmatic. They go around.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Men don't want the fireworks going off and the passion.
They're happy, they've got a woman in bed with them,
dinner on the table, they've got their footy on the couch.
They're content, slash complacent, lazy pricks. And that is why
women are consistently unhappy, because they want more. And I
(13:20):
think in a lot of marriages, you know, you do
have to constantly work at it. A lot of the
times with my husband, I will have to talk to
him and be like, hey, I'm feeling this way or
I'm lacking this from you, and he'll go, oh, yeah, yeah,
well I'm also lacking this from you. And I was like, no,
you're not. You didn't come to me with a conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You can't just deflect when I'm trying to communicate my.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Knee, Ryan, why are you engaging?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
My wife goes, oh, hey, I just want to I'm
not getting this from you, and like I say, you're
one hundred percent right, darling.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'll be in the garage haha. And now I go
hide in the garage for like, well, okay, two hours.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, the difference between you and my husband is he goes, okay,
I'll try and be better, and he's actually really well
behaved and like he's actually does put in the effort
for about three to six months, and then he falls
back into his complacent ways.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
No, no, no, I go to the garage and just forget
the conversation happened, and on we go.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
So I'm pretty happy. You're right. Only women are yes, they.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Are yes, they are no. See why Anyway, it's a
constant working process. And if you have a decent husband,
you know you've got to communicate. Communication is key here.
You both need to put in the effort. Don't be
like Paigey and just give up and put in zero effort.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
That's great, Amy, I'll be in the garage. It's Chris
and Amy in the morning. I kiss.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
This is Cris Page and Amy Jerrard.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Thank you to the news room, by the way, for
all those wonderful stories they missed one though, Amy, one
they were doing all the bad news and all the
serious stuff. I've got a news story for you. I
didn't think much of it when I read the headline,
but I like it. A Scottish man has driven into
a tunnel. Now you think, okay, that's it's not so good.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh, not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
The tunnel.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It was one of those Acme looney tunes road Runner
and Coyote tunnels that was painted onto a brick wall. No, so,
a prankster in Glasgow, Scotland has painted the opening of
a tunnel onto a brick wall and this jerk has
(15:27):
driven into it.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Wait before we giggle, is the guy okay.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
He died on the scene, not straight away. He was
trapped in the car for about three hours first. But
he's probably feeling pretty silly because he's literally the coyote
in the cartoon driving into a brick wall with a
tunnel painted on it?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
What asshole did that? Because it's all fine, the road Runner,
it's obviously everyone's having a giggle over it because the guy,
the guy hasn't died or injured himself. We imagine if
he did. We wouldn't be so funny then, would it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, I confess I'd still laugh.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's me, would laugh, you sadist.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They were quite violent those cartoons for children, weren't they.
The coyote always being crushed under a rock.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And he was always running around with like A four
explosives as well.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah the TNT, Yes, A.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Four explosives is that. I don't know if that even
a C four? C four maybe? Yeah, A four's a
bit of paper.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I four was just a little pop.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
This is Crisp Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
We do a segment every now and then called the
Airing of Grievances. Yeah, where I reel off all the
small petty things that aggravate yep, and you actually have
legitimate ones. But I can't wait for this. Why do
children of our age? So I've got a six and
an eight year old, you've got the same with the
boys and ten ten.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Year old girl?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And what's with the remote controls for the TV? Why
are they all over the house? Why would you have
the Fox still remote in the laundry?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, well I can one up you. My six year
old likes to carry the remote control everywhere with him
because they've got it in their head that if they
have the remote control, then they're in charge of what
gets watched on TV, which I guess they are. But
what happens is my boys, in particular, once they get
the remote control, they don't let it go, and so
they carry it to the breakfast bar, they carry it outside.
(17:26):
I have found the remote control on our letterbox, I've
found it down in the bush. I have found it
all around the place. And you know what else, I
have about eighteen remote controls at home because what else
happens is a lot of the time Kobe carries it
around places, it somewhere loses it. So I jump on
Amazon and I order another universal remote control because when
(17:48):
I want to watch TV. Do you think I can
ever find a remote control?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Now, you alost need your own?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Well, I do, and I need to start hiding my
own in certain places because I now have about eighteen
remote controls in my house at any given point, but
I can only ever find one or two.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh, my boys, and they're complacent now as well. So
what they've figured out is because we got two Samsung
TVs in different rooms. So the main TV they realized
when they can't find the remote, they've realized that all
Samsung TV's all the remotes work, and they say, oh,
that's right, we'll just go get it from the other TV. No, yeah,
this find this remote, go look for it and it's
(18:27):
down usually in the cracks of the couch.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
With a with all the chip, packet, nutra grain and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Safe so disgusting.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I hate running my hand because I've got to look
down in the crack of the couch for the remote.
So you run your hand along it and you just
feel everything else that's down there and go, oh God.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'll never forget. My brother came over. He was babysitting
for us, and he had fallen asleep on the couch
when I got home, and he woke up and he said,
I need to find my car keys. I can't find them.
So I said, they've probably fallen down the cracks of
these couches. And when I tell you, we had never, never,
once had we cleaned out these things. So we went
through every single crack of this couch and there's five cracks,
(19:06):
and what we pulled out I was dry reaching and
my brother looked at me like I was some absolute
filthy animal because there was apple cause, packets of chips,
empty yogurt pouches, and it's my boys and cracks.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That's just the cracks of the couch.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I've got two boys saying, I know what it's like
underneath the couch behind it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We lifted up, he lifted up the couch as well,
and I was absolutely mortified.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I showed you the photo from behind my couch right
and literally everyone had the same comment. They're like, how
do you not have rats?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I say the same thing. I don't know how we're
not swarmed with cockroaches and mice and rats. It is
absolutely discussing. I keep trying to say, why do you
have no respect for this household?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'll tell you what my kids did with the remote controls.
And it's one of those times where you ask yourself,
would I rather have a dumb kid that's easier to
look after, or a couple of little smarties who are
probably gonna, you know, be very clever in life.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But out smart man, they're outsiding year.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So I bought a timer lock box from Aldi, actually
one of the it's like this.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Clear Audi special buy yeah, Audi.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Special by It's like a clear container with a lid
that locks and you set a timer on when it
can open.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
The reason I got it was because the kids will.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Wake up at obscene hours, yes and come down and
turn on the television.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
So I don't want them getting up at four forty.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Five if they know they can watch TeV.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
If they wake up.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, they go, oh, go watch the TV and I'll
get in first and hog the remote all morning, so
I said it.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So it can't open until.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Six o'clock six am it opens. So after a few
days of that, they obviously weren't enjoying having to wait
till six am to turn on the TV. So they
opened the lid of the thing. And on the inside
of this lock box as lid is where the battery is.
So they took the battery out of it, put it
in the lock box, locked it and set the timer
(21:08):
for four hundred and as hours.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
How does the time of work If there's no battery, you.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Can charge it as well. Look, it didn't matter if
they took the battery out or not, now that I
think of it.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Four hundred and eighty hours.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So basically you can't use the locks box anymore and
the remote controller is out.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You only get rain, you only get one crack at
an emergency open and I've already used it. So the
four hundred and eighty hours, what are you up to now?
Twenty days so just under just under three weeks they've
set the lock fox for smart Yeah, with the battery
in it.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
So thanks, This.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Is Chris Page and Amy Jerrard.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And now you always say that we live vicariously for
our single friends. Yes, it's always you coming in with
the hot girl dating.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Story, some fun stories for us.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I've got a hot girl dating store.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh tell us all.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
My friend Roxy on you, Roxy, good morning.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
She's worried about a proposition she was given when she out.
She was out at a nice bar in the city.
You know, in the nice end of the city though.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Where all the banks are the finance boys.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Finance bros. So lot just puffer jackets as far as
I can.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
See, huffa jackets, not suits.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh you have to work. There were in the suits. Yeah,
puffa jackets on the yacht on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Sorry, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Suits. Guy came up to a nice guy worked in finance.
They hit it off. She said he was good looking,
and he said, look, come and have dinner with me.
Roxy's hot too, by the way, He's like, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Have dinner with me. She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Anyway, she was playing hard to get. She wasn't actually
sold on its straight away. The guy said, look, I
am friends with one of the chefs at and I
want to know it's like one of Australia's top restaurants.
I mean, and you need a mortgage to go there?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
He goes, I can get us in there friday night
if you're free to come with me and I will
pay for everything, like we can order up the wine list.
I will take you the nicest dinner and it's all
on me. Come with me Friday night.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, amazing?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And she when am I a prostitute? What at all?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Why would she even think that?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm all for a gentleman paying for dinner. But it
feels like that promise in advance of a meal that's
probably going to come close to one thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
No, I think what he's doing is actually being quite chivalrous.
And if he has mentioned a really expensive restaurant, he's
probably just putting to bed any concerns she may have,
you know of like potentially having to split the bill
or something like that. Having said that, if a man
(23:55):
is asking a woman out for dinner, he should pay. Sorry,
I'm old school in that respect. If it's you know,
down the track and you're meeting at a pub and
she can get the next meal and blah blah blah,
I'm all for you know, quality and all that kind
of stuff. But if a man, especially if he's asking
her out on a date, it's probably a bit of
(24:16):
a flex for him because it is an expensive restaurant.
So he's probably trying to peacock a little bit and
show off.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Let her know he's got money.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Connections, connections. But also I guess maybe preface that she
won't be out of pocket and just come and have
a nice dinner with him.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I agree with you, by the way, a man should
pay for dinner, and he approached her in this bar,
I agree, But the pre arrangement full payment for dinner.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And at
the end of the day, if she goes and has
a nice dinner and she doesn't want anything to happen,
nothing has to happen.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But she does feel that he might expect it.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I mean, she's not going to go sleep with him
just because he paid for dinner, but she does feel
that there's some weight on that.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Now I disagree. I think she needs roxy. You need
to go on this date. I know the restaurant that
has been spoken about, and the food there is fair fantastic.
You're gonna go. You're gonna order the lobster, all of
the things, an expensive bottle of wine. You're gonna enjoy
yourself knowing you don't have to reach into your purse.
And you're gonna let this man wine and dine you
(25:21):
and court you like the queen that you are.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Yeah, wait till you see what he's got for dessert.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
And don't listen to paigey his head just straight to
the gutter.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Allright, Roxy, good luck, oh Roxy.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Song about a prostitute. Prostitute, Well, not yet,
My Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart appol Rag. Everybody's amdo It's

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Hey, Good morning everyone, Happy Saturday. Welcome back, Amy Gerard.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Morning Sunshine.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You're good.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I am great.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Ready to go?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I am ready. I'm caffeinated.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Do you ever, over the course of your day or
life ever stop and go?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm not insane? Am I?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm not quite there yet.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
A little while ago, I actually off air had to
chat you and said, Hey, I'm a bit worried.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Am I insane? And you gave me a very nice answer.
You said no.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
The fact that you have the self awareness yes to question,
it probably means you're sane.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well insane people don't do any self reflecting.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
They're busy throwing poo at the wall. Literally, speaking of pooh,
this is the moment yesterday that I had the am
I crazy moment? So outside my house, the road is
slightly sloped and it's under this enormous gum tree that
a what is a group.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Of bats called a pain in the aarth.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
That's a good.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Collective noun for bats. A pain in the ass of bats. Yep,
lives in this gumtry and craps all over the road.
And I mean like they all sit in the one
spot in the tree. So every morning there's guano.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh you found the name of batshit.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, I've seen Ace Venturer too. Did you know that
guano bat feces is probably the best fertilizer. So I
got a big crate and laid it down on its
side down the hill from the batpoo, and then hosed
it so all the batpooy iguanery water went into this crate,
(02:13):
and then I poured it on my vegetable garden.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh my god, and these vegetables. Do you then pull
them out of the garden and eat them?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No? I stick them up. No, of course I eat them.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Is it safe?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
It's just an organic fertilized People put horse poo, cow poo,
chicken poo, everything else on there.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Didn't COVID come from bats.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
COVID was made in a lab.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, we go, here we go.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's not that got proven. It's yeah, the conspiracy people
were right. Okay, anyway, am I crazy?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
You've gone batshit crazy?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Okay, Yeah, that feels maybe that's where it came from.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, so whilst the rest of Australia is busy working,
you're hosing batshit off your road outside and fertilizing your
garden with it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You should see my garden, it flourishing. Bring it in.
You can taste some of.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
My cad No, I'm fine, Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I'm going to bring you in a capsicum.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
When you start growing a tail or.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You are right though, that's pre where bat shit crazy
came from.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Some wife walked out and her husband's out on the
road collecting guano.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
You're batshit crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's Chris and Amy in the morning, coming up next
to our friends at chemist Warehouse are here and they've
brought in a surprise for our producer Ego.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Amy. They've got two syringes.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
One of them has the flu vaccine, the other one
is full of deep heat, and he gets to choose
which one.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
A random one's going to be injected into his.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Own Choose your own adventure.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
The weather's cooling down, Amy, Winter is coming.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Winter is coming.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Ordered my firewood.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'm bringing out the boots.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Love the fire. But the other thing that's coming is
the flu. It's flu season.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I actually have PTSD from my A and B at once,
influenza A and B at the same time. And it's
the only time in my life apart from when I
nearly drowned, where I thought I was actually going to die.
It then migrated into pneumonia, so it was it was
a serious couple of weeks for me.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I've got your guardian Angel here, Simone from Chemist Squarehouse
is a pharmacist and he's here, Hi, Simone. So it's
good to get the flu shot now before winter? Is
that what I'm assuming correctly, I'm not a doctor.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
You're absolutely right. So now it's the perfect time to
get it. So it takes about two weeks to kick in,
so we recommend getting it late April early May kicks
in right before winter starts and carries you through all
the way through to September.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
So perfect time. Well, can I say when I got
sick last year, I actually got it from a girlfriend
of mine. We came home on a plane and she
ended up testing positive for influenza B. I ended up
testing positive for influenza A and B. Didn't know you
could get them both at the same time, but she
was absolutely fine three to four days later, and it
(04:54):
took me about four to five weeks to recover properly.
And it was because she had gotten the flu shot,
so she had the symptoms, but the severity of it
was far less and worse than what I endured.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Well, Simone's coming with gifts this morning, and they are
few jabs. Now already had mine, so I'm sorted. Amy's
an anti vaxa our produce Sitego has kindly rolled up
his sleeve.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Here how you feel? Look at that arm. He's got
the one gun out.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
He's actually been going to the gym just so we
could get his guns out.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yes, it's good, Ego, well done.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Thank you anything for a free something?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I mean you know what. That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
We heard, Hey, if someone comes in and gives you
a free he said yes, And now it's a needle. Okay,
So Simone is just jabbing that in.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
He didn't even flinch straight in. There you goes so easy.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That was so quick.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Look at it go in.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Are you feeling as it started? Ah? Done?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Oh that is easy.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Now that's yeah, there you go. I didn't realize it
even started. Took five seconds.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Maybe you need to get simone, but she.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Simone's very good now, So it takes two weeks for
the vaccine to kick in. What about the five G
that is that immediately?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
No, No, we don't have any I'm aware.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I am joking. There's no five paces. There's no five
G in jabs. So do it get into chemists warehouse?
Can you just walk in or do you need an appointment?
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Yeah, you can definitely walk into any store or our
farmers is are happy to help, so we can help
you book it in the store. You can also book
online at chemist ware House dot com dot a.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
U forward slash flu and is it true that like
the flu constantly is mutating? Yes? Are they're constantly new
variations of it?
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Yeah, it tends to change quite quickly. So we recommend
getting it done every year. Last years vaccine is not
going to protect you against this years virus, so get
them done every twelve months and good yes.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yes, all right, Well, if you want the flu shot,
Chemist Warehouse is the place to go. Get in store
online chemist warehouse dot com dot a. You make yourself
booking for a jab sam own, great to meet you.
Thanks for coming in and making our producer safe feel stronger.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Had Mother's Day last week?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You're recovering, Okay, I had a great Mother's Day this year. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
We keeping our finger on the pulse of what the
mums of Australia are talking about. So every week we
check in and find out on the Facebook Mums group.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
This mum has ridden feeling like I've hit a parenting
milestone I wasn't emotionally prepared for. My twelve year old
has started asking for a phone and I honestly don't
know what the right age is anymore. I want them
to be safe and reachable, but I also don't want
to introduce screens, socials and pressures before they're ready. Has
anyone had to do this recently? I'd love to learn
from any mistakes or wins that you have had before
(07:44):
we dive in big issue. It's a really good.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Question, is it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I don't want to blow our powder too early here,
because I know a break tends to go for three
or four minutes. But you just get them a phone
or a watch or something like that that's able to
text and call.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yes and nothing else.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
So they're called dumb phones.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, dumb phones. At a Nokia fifty one to ten.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You can actually get Apple iPhones that have no Internet.
They're called dumb phones, and certain shops will sell them.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
They still cost two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Actually don't know how much they cost. But I will
be very very soon at this exact same predicament as
his mum, because even kids now in my kids primary school,
they have phones, and a lot of these kids are
getting on buses and they're going to schools a little
bit further away. And I understand the parents need and
(08:33):
want to know where their kid is and be able
to contact them, or if the kid gets in trouble,
you want to know that they can call us or
you know, send a text or whatever. However, giving your
kid a mobile phone that has the Internet at the
age of twelve, I am so against that.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I need a phone as in a telephone. You're to
stop calling iPhones phones. Okay, this isn't a phone. This
is a.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Computer with like.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Entire worvery type of pornography, hate speech, everything on it.
Like iPhones, they're not phones, they're evil little devices.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Look into getting a phone or investing in an old
school ninety two knocking? What are they knocking? A ninety
two ten?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Or they can play a snake on the bus on
their trip.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I'll get them a BlackBerry. It's like a little mini laptop, right,
the little buttons. My fat thumb wouldn't even be able
to use them.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, but dumb phone, dumb phone.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
That's what I'll be doing for my kids when they
go to high school.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Nice easy one.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Today, this is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Happy Saturday, Girard Page Dot.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That's goodness hanging out with you on the weekend, is
it said of my family?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah. Well that leads me to this next topic. Are
you unhappy in your marriage? Are you sure?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I joke a lot about my marriage. I'm really happy.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I'm gonna call BS on that, and I think this
is the issue. Right. I'm not saying that everyone that's
married is completely miserable twenty four to seven, But what
I have noticed with all my married friends is people
who are somewhat disappointed. And I really do feel like
(10:20):
we have Disney movies to blame. I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
And married people are all unhappy?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yes, because I feel like when you were a child.
There is this whole conception that as you grow up
you find a partner, prince or a princess, and you
get married and you live happily ever after, But you
actually don't live happily ever after. And I know that
marriage is a constant work in process, and I can
(10:50):
speak to my own personal lived in experiences. I have
some really great times with Ryan, and then we have
some really rough seasons as well. But I just feel
like so many conversations that I'm having with girlfriends at
the moment are around like, is this marriage? Is this
what marriage is all about? How producible?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Our producer has gone? Hannes sec did you mention unhappiness?
I need to get in on this. What's up, buddy?
I have to buzz in here.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
My wife and I last weekend watched Wuthering Heights and
after the movie she turned to me and she's, why
don't you love me like he loves right? And it's
impossible because just infatuated.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's ridiculous. I'm not ready for the Lord. He managed
your expectations.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
And I think that's what as women, we all want,
that passionate, like indescribable love that comes from all these
love stories and all these Disney movies, and when you
think of marriage, you think of you know, love, hearts
and rainbows and being swept up in all of those beautiful, warm,
(11:56):
fuzzy feelings, and then you actually get married and you're like,
oh wow, it's nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I don't think the movies in the fairy tale is
as much of a problem for men.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I can't speak for women.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's not for men.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
But being married, I wouldn't say I'm unhappy at all. Actually,
I'll tell you how I stay happy married. I'm not unhappy.
But since I've been married, I would say like a
part of my soul has died. Aha, And there was
a fire inside me when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It's called becoming really complacent, which is what has happened
to you.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, but also there's just no fight, so you just
don't bother with anything.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
See that, And I'm pretty happy.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
It's not giving happy that touches on the whole. The
happiest people in the world are married men and single
divorced women. Right. It comes back to it, because I
think the thing is women always want more, whereas.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Men men will settle.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Men are happy just being in a marriage that is
a little bit like Blase a right.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Men are pragmatic. They go around.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Men don't want the fireworks going off and the passion.
They're happy, they've got a woman in bed with them,
dinner on the table, they've got their footy on the couch.
They're content, slash complacent, lazy pricks. And that is why
women are consistently unhappy, because they want more. And I
(13:20):
think in a lot of marriages, you know, you do
have to constantly work at it. A lot of the
times with my husband, I will have to talk to
him and be like, hey, I'm feeling this way or
I'm lacking this from you, and he'll go, oh, yeah, yeah,
well I'm also lacking this from you. And I was like, no,
you're not. You didn't come to me with a conversation.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You can't just deflect when I'm trying to communicate my.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Knee, Ryan, why are you engaging?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
My wife goes, oh, hey, I just want to I'm
not getting this from you, and like I say, you're
one hundred percent right, darling.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'll be in the garage haha. And now I go
hide in the garage for like, well, okay, two hours.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, the difference between you and my husband is he goes, okay,
I'll try and be better, and he's actually really well
behaved and like he's actually does put in the effort
for about three to six months, and then he falls
back into his complacent ways.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
No, no, no, I go to the garage and just forget
the conversation happened, and on we go.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
So I'm pretty happy. You're right. Only women are yes, they.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Are yes, they are no. See why Anyway, it's a
constant working process. And if you have a decent husband,
you know you've got to communicate. Communication is key here.
You both need to put in the effort. Don't be
like Paigey and just give up and put in zero effort.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
That's great, Amy, I'll be in the garage. It's Chris
and Amy in the morning. I kiss.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
This is Cris Page and Amy Jerrard.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Thank you to the news room, by the way, for
all those wonderful stories they missed one though, Amy, one
they were doing all the bad news and all the
serious stuff. I've got a news story for you. I
didn't think much of it when I read the headline,
but I like it. A Scottish man has driven into
a tunnel. Now you think, okay, that's it's not so good.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh, not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
The tunnel.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It was one of those Acme looney tunes road Runner
and Coyote tunnels that was painted onto a brick wall. No, so,
a prankster in Glasgow, Scotland has painted the opening of
a tunnel onto a brick wall and this jerk has
(15:27):
driven into it.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Wait before we giggle, is the guy okay.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
He died on the scene, not straight away. He was
trapped in the car for about three hours first. But
he's probably feeling pretty silly because he's literally the coyote
in the cartoon driving into a brick wall with a
tunnel painted on it?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
What asshole did that? Because it's all fine, the road Runner,
it's obviously everyone's having a giggle over it because the guy,
the guy hasn't died or injured himself. We imagine if
he did. We wouldn't be so funny then, would it.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, I confess I'd still laugh.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's me, would laugh, you sadist.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
They were quite violent those cartoons for children, weren't they.
The coyote always being crushed under a rock.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
And he was always running around with like A four
explosives as well.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah the TNT, Yes, A.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Four explosives is that. I don't know if that even
a C four? C four maybe? Yeah, A four's a
bit of paper.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I four was just a little pop.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
This is Crisp Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
We do a segment every now and then called the
Airing of Grievances. Yeah, where I reel off all the
small petty things that aggravate yep, and you actually have
legitimate ones. But I can't wait for this. Why do
children of our age? So I've got a six and
an eight year old, you've got the same with the
boys and ten ten.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Year old girl?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And what's with the remote controls for the TV? Why
are they all over the house? Why would you have
the Fox still remote in the laundry?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, well I can one up you. My six year
old likes to carry the remote control everywhere with him
because they've got it in their head that if they
have the remote control, then they're in charge of what
gets watched on TV, which I guess they are. But
what happens is my boys, in particular, once they get
the remote control, they don't let it go, and so
they carry it to the breakfast bar, they carry it outside.
(17:26):
I have found the remote control on our letterbox, I've
found it down in the bush. I have found it
all around the place. And you know what else, I
have about eighteen remote controls at home because what else
happens is a lot of the time Kobe carries it
around places, it somewhere loses it. So I jump on
Amazon and I order another universal remote control because when
(17:48):
I want to watch TV. Do you think I can
ever find a remote control?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Now, you alost need your own?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Well, I do, and I need to start hiding my
own in certain places because I now have about eighteen
remote controls in my house at any given point, but
I can only ever find one or two.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Oh, my boys, and they're complacent now as well. So
what they've figured out is because we got two Samsung
TVs in different rooms. So the main TV they realized
when they can't find the remote, they've realized that all
Samsung TV's all the remotes work, and they say, oh,
that's right, we'll just go get it from the other TV. No, yeah,
this find this remote, go look for it and it's
(18:27):
down usually in the cracks of the couch.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
With a with all the chip, packet, nutra grain and
all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Safe so disgusting.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I hate running my hand because I've got to look
down in the crack of the couch for the remote.
So you run your hand along it and you just
feel everything else that's down there and go, oh God.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I'll never forget. My brother came over. He was babysitting
for us, and he had fallen asleep on the couch
when I got home, and he woke up and he said,
I need to find my car keys. I can't find them.
So I said, they've probably fallen down the cracks of
these couches. And when I tell you, we had never, never,
once had we cleaned out these things. So we went
through every single crack of this couch and there's five cracks,
(19:06):
and what we pulled out I was dry reaching and
my brother looked at me like I was some absolute
filthy animal because there was apple cause, packets of chips,
empty yogurt pouches, and it's my boys and cracks.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That's just the cracks of the couch.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I've got two boys saying, I know what it's like
underneath the couch behind it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We lifted up, he lifted up the couch as well,
and I was absolutely mortified.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I showed you the photo from behind my couch right
and literally everyone had the same comment. They're like, how
do you not have rats?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I say the same thing. I don't know how we're
not swarmed with cockroaches and mice and rats. It is
absolutely discussing. I keep trying to say, why do you
have no respect for this household?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'll tell you what my kids did with the remote controls.
And it's one of those times where you ask yourself,
would I rather have a dumb kid that's easier to
look after, or a couple of little smarties who are
probably gonna, you know, be very clever in life.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But out smart man, they're outsiding year.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So I bought a timer lock box from Aldi, actually
one of the it's like this.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Clear Audi special buy yeah, Audi.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Special by It's like a clear container with a lid
that locks and you set a timer on when it
can open.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
The reason I got it was because the kids will.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Wake up at obscene hours, yes and come down and
turn on the television.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
So I don't want them getting up at four forty.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Five if they know they can watch TeV.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
If they wake up.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, they go, oh, go watch the TV and I'll
get in first and hog the remote all morning, so
I said it.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So it can't open until.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Six o'clock six am it opens. So after a few
days of that, they obviously weren't enjoying having to wait
till six am to turn on the TV. So they
opened the lid of the thing. And on the inside
of this lock box as lid is where the battery is.
So they took the battery out of it, put it
in the lock box, locked it and set the timer
(21:08):
for four hundred and as hours.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
How does the time of work If there's no battery, you.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Can charge it as well. Look, it didn't matter if
they took the battery out or not, now that I
think of it.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Four hundred and eighty hours.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So basically you can't use the locks box anymore and
the remote controller is out.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You only get rain, you only get one crack at
an emergency open and I've already used it. So the
four hundred and eighty hours, what are you up to now?
Twenty days so just under just under three weeks they've
set the lock fox for smart Yeah, with the battery
in it.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
So thanks, This.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Is Chris Page and Amy Jerrard.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And now you always say that we live vicariously for
our single friends. Yes, it's always you coming in with
the hot girl dating.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Story, some fun stories for us.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I've got a hot girl dating store.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Oh tell us all.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
My friend Roxy on you, Roxy, good morning.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
She's worried about a proposition she was given when she out.
She was out at a nice bar in the city.
You know, in the nice end of the city though.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Where all the banks are the finance boys.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Finance bros. So lot just puffer jackets as far as
I can.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
See, huffa jackets, not suits.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh you have to work. There were in the suits. Yeah,
puffa jackets on the yacht on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Sorry, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Suits. Guy came up to a nice guy worked in finance.
They hit it off. She said he was good looking,
and he said, look, come and have dinner with me.
Roxy's hot too, by the way, He's like, you gotta.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Have dinner with me. She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Anyway, she was playing hard to get. She wasn't actually
sold on its straight away. The guy said, look, I
am friends with one of the chefs at and I
want to know it's like one of Australia's top restaurants.
I mean, and you need a mortgage to go there?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Right?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
He goes, I can get us in there friday night
if you're free to come with me and I will
pay for everything, like we can order up the wine list.
I will take you the nicest dinner and it's all
on me. Come with me Friday night.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, amazing?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
And she when am I a prostitute? What at all?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Why would she even think that?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm all for a gentleman paying for dinner. But it
feels like that promise in advance of a meal that's
probably going to come close to one thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
No, I think what he's doing is actually being quite chivalrous.
And if he has mentioned a really expensive restaurant, he's
probably just putting to bed any concerns she may have,
you know of like potentially having to split the bill
or something like that. Having said that, if a man
(23:55):
is asking a woman out for dinner, he should pay. Sorry,
I'm old school in that respect. If it's you know,
down the track and you're meeting at a pub and
she can get the next meal and blah blah blah,
I'm all for you know, quality and all that kind
of stuff. But if a man, especially if he's asking
her out on a date, it's probably a bit of
(24:16):
a flex for him because it is an expensive restaurant.
So he's probably trying to peacock a little bit and
show off.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Let her know he's got money.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Connections, connections. But also I guess maybe preface that she
won't be out of pocket and just come and have
a nice dinner with him.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I agree with you, by the way, a man should
pay for dinner, and he approached her in this bar,
I agree, But the pre arrangement full payment for dinner.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. And at
the end of the day, if she goes and has
a nice dinner and she doesn't want anything to happen,
nothing has to happen.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But she does feel that he might expect it.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I mean, she's not going to go sleep with him
just because he paid for dinner, but she does feel
that there's some weight on that.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Now I disagree. I think she needs roxy. You need
to go on this date. I know the restaurant that
has been spoken about, and the food there is fair fantastic.
You're gonna go. You're gonna order the lobster, all of
the things, an expensive bottle of wine. You're gonna enjoy
yourself knowing you don't have to reach into your purse.
And you're gonna let this man wine and dine you
(25:21):
and court you like the queen that you are.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Yeah, wait till you see what he's got for dessert.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
And don't listen to paigey his head just straight to
the gutter.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Allright, Roxy, good luck, oh Roxy.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Song about a prostitute. Prostitute, Well, not yet,
