Amy gets brutally honest this episode about the pressure people feel to constantly look like they’ve got life under control - even when everything feels chaotic behind the scenes. From parenting stress and relationship frustrations to emotional burnout and everyday life overload, Amy opens up about the things people quietly struggle with but rarely admit publicly.
On this episode of the Chris & Amy Podcast, Amy and Chris dive into modern family life, marriage realities, parenting chaos and the emotional load that builds up over time. There’s hilarious stories, awkward confessions, relatable relationship moments and the kind of conversations listeners instantly send to friends saying, “this is us.”
The episode also covers family arguments, social pressures, parenting exhaustion and the little things at home that slowly become bigger frustrations.

Kiss, Hey, good morning everyone, Happy Sunday, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You are I am fresher lightly, Yes, I am.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Amy was hung yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But you I was in a bad way. But I
had a very early night last night, and I feel
like myself again.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Well done, and you carried it well yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I thought so too.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I did Breakfast Radio Monday to Friday for twelve years.
I don't know how many hangovers.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Did you ever go into breakfast radio from a night? No?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Oh no, but I know people who did. But I
went too hard for that, like I yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We had our meeting earlier in the week where we
just we just chitchat, see what comes up, and sometimes
we go we we've got to reveal this on air,
as you were disgusted with me as a movie buff,
which I pride myself on.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, you have seen every single movie on the planet.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I'm not quiet. Yeah, because I said I never saw
Top Gun and.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You that actually shocks me, as well, because it is
such a big movie. I actually don't know anyone who
hasn't seen Top Gun. I don't know if you got
beef with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
No, I like, I've seen all the Mission Impossibles. I
like Tom. I just there's something about that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's just it doesn't look like a movie that's aged well,
like out of the eighties.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It just there was another one that you said you
hadn't seen.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Back to the Future any of it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yes, Emilio, who's the guy that.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The old guy?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, Michael J.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Fox, who now isn't very well unfortunately, and Christopher Lloyd
I think is the wacky old guy with the DeLorean
right Galorean.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I would have thought that you would have liked those movies.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I probably Would's odd.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Maybe you should watch them tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Now. You told me a movie you haven't seen. The
Dark Night.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh, yeah, no, I haven't seen it Batman two.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
In the Christopher Nolan trilogy and widely accepted to be
one of the best action movies of all time, if
not one of the best films.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, never seen it.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Time, you'd love The Dark Knight, And surely Ryan's he'll
watch it with you.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't want to watch it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Why not? The kids will love it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is it appropriate for my kid?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, it's fine. Heath Ledger is not terrifying at all.
Maybe he didn't like that not one bit. People have
seen it one night. Okay, you're looking at me like,
is he having a stroke? On air? I was like,
what is never mind? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
All right, I'll see top Gun if you see the
Dark Knight Deal. Sure, reviews to come next week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
This is Chris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So I told you I was becoming a woman.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yes, online, I'm using my wife's Facebook account. So I
don't have the Facebook.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It's just Facebook. Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't have Facebook, yes at all. So but you
know I'm obsessed with Facebook. Marketplace now, yes, that's your
new thing. So my wife gave me the login to hers,
and so now I sit there on Marketplace and people
think they're having a conversation with Georgie Page, whose profile
picture is this.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Lovely, beautiful, beaming smile photo of her. I think it
was from our wedding day.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Actually, you know, Georgie, My wife just radiates like happiness
and warmth, and that's how people treat her online.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Are they really friendly to you.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh and it helps your bargaining as well. It's price.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And they always say kids don't talk to people on
roadblocks because you don't know if you're talking to an
eight year.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Old boy or a forty three year old male. Creep.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Exactly right, This is literally what's happening. These poor people
on Facebook Marketplace think that they're.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Going, oh, she looks sweet, I'll give it to her
for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And then wait, do you then rock up to pick
it up?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Once the deal is done? I go, My husband will
be there at one o'clock to pick it up. I
never actually switch into first person.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You don't actually put Georgie's clothes on and a wig
to then go and pick stuff up?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Do you not?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Whoa idea?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
What a hell of an idea that would be.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You've got enough time on your hands that you probably
could do this. You could do like you could be
the new Missus. Doubtfire.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm here to pick up the rug, but you're right,
I do have a lot of time on my hands,
so I'm gonna I've decided I can't be my wife
on Facebook every time I want to buy something on
Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So that's coming to an end. Okay, are you I'm
starting a new Facebook account?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yes, okay, great as.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
A woman again though, no, yes i am, because I'm
not going to chat to people online and do anything weird.
It's only for Facebook marketplace. The conversations never deviate away from.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
This.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
How much is because it made me realize that Georgie
looks nice, so people are nice to her.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You know what you should do. You should start your
own account called Chris Page and have a nice family
photo up. Yeah, if people think that you're a family guy,
they're going to treat you nicely. If you're in the
gym and you're taking a gym selfie in a mirror,
no one's replying to that guy.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I just think it wouldn't hurt to be a woman
because both men and women sellers are nicer to women.
It's a win win because the women are like, oh,
it's one of my sisters, and they feel very safe
as well.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
If a woman's going to come and pick something up.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
If you're going to be using Georgie's account, you can
just continue to pretend to be Georgie. But if you
are actually going to go to the trouble of creating
your own account. I think you have to be a man.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, I'm going to be a woman. I'm working on
the name are you going to get the photos? I
want to name that.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Women would like, but also a name that's like hot
for men. I'm thinking maybe Chloe, and it's like Chris. Right,
it's five letters and I.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Really thought this through. Where are you going to get
the photo from?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Somewhere around them? So obviously I'm not going to go
Margot Robbie's photo. Now, I'll find some random maybe Swedish
or Norwegian.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Girl on I mean, this feels very not appropriate. Catfishy right, yeah,
a little catfish.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I must stress again the conversation does not deviate off
what time can I take up? And how much is
it for?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Now?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
What's wrong with me with some like lonely old blokes
who want to sell their projector and they think they're
talking to someone looks a lot likely from Sweden Chloe. No,
she's from Australia, but you know she just looks like
Anna Cornerkva. I mean, you know, if they want to
give an a corner Kova look alike their projector for
a lower price, yeah, sure, and then I can rock
(06:46):
up and go hi, I'm her husband, and they'll be.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like, wow, that guy must be hung.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Is she blind? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Look out for if you're selling something to someone called
Chloe online.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's Crisp Page.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Say hi, this is Crispage and Amy where both parents.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I've got two boys six and eight. You've got three
kids six, eight and ten. Yes, you are brave. But
they were all babies. Obviously, yes, obviously, yes it was
a baby.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They all started out as babies.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, so we know a bit about babies. And well,
I'm going to criticize these people. They were a rich
couple and they outsource a lot of the hard work
around their baby, as I think a lot of us
would go, you know what, like with a nanny. They
do have a nanny, but they have a listener, okay
to what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I think it goes a bit too far.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
What's one thing that you've delegated that most people would
consider ridiculous? We have four kids, and you know, as
you know, babies and kids don't always slip through the name.
We would listen to the baby monitors, so you could
hear them cry, and you could go in and Catherine's like,
why are we listening. Why don't we delegate that to
insist in the Philippines. And so we now have two
(07:55):
nurses who live in the Philippines and it's daytime for
them and they're working studying, but they have our baby
monitors on and if the kids need help, they can
play a song. If the kids are crying and really
need us, or call us and we'll go in. But
of the time they can be calmed without us going in.
I mean, we've been doing it for years now, and
it's the last thing I would turn off because it
(08:16):
protects our sleep.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But you can tell that guy works in tech.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He was like, why are we listening to the baby crank?
Because it's your child and because it's.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Part of life and the experience of having well baby.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
In the house. Are they like, I could hear my
baby crying from anywhere in my house, upstairs, downstairs, one
end of the house to the other. I could hear
my baby crying. I can even go further, and I
feel like mother's instinct and intuition. Sometimes I would wake
up before my baby even started crying. I would just
like wake up and I couldn't hear anything, and I'd
(08:50):
you know, something's going to hap, I'd go in and
check and they defecated in their happy Well.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
These people sound like they might have like a different
wing of the house. You know that the baby's in right?
I love that he says it like a revelation. Go down.
Why we listening to the baby on Earth?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Are we listening to?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Why aren't we outsourcing this to the Philippines?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But I'm so confused. So if the baby cries, what
the Filipino assistant is what playing a lullaby down the phone?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, so they've got the intercom, so the Filipino assistant
can either let you know, you press the button and
it plays that music, lullabye music, or they can soothe
them with their voice. Yeah, and all that sort of stuff.
But they're doing it from the Philippines to another person's
kid that they've never met.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, it feels a little. It's all ficky, especially when
babies are babies, because they're so defenseless and they can't
do anything for themselves, and that's when you really need
to step up as a parent and look after them.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You should want to, really, if you're a parent, you
should want to be doing that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I always wanted my kids close.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
To me, I just yeah, that intercom opened to someone
in the Philippines who could be saying anything like in
the middle of the nine.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And also like when the baby's crying and the Filipinos
can't get them to go to sleep, what are they
doing calling? If this couple are so against their baby crying,
surely they're not sleeping with their phone on loud because
that's going to interrupt your sleep too.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
But yeah, these babies are effectively being raised at nighttime
anyway by like a call center in the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Probably would have kept that one under wraps if I
was that guy.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
But the baby is really keen to change their solar panels,
not happy with the plan. So I think they've been
talking about that all night the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
All Right, this is Cris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
We're pretty much gone Trump free on the show.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Are you holding up okay?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Because I think I'm with a lot of people like
Trump was funny for a while and now and a
lot of people go, you know what, Actually, some of
the stuff Trump does we could kind of use here
at Alba, Like he's gone too far. Absolutely, and there's
a lot of fatigue talking about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But here we're going to talk about him anyway.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
We want to talk about his son, John Jr. Who
got married over the week. And I thought that's lovely.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
But Daddy didn't go to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
He didn't go to his own son's wedding.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
He didn't go to his own size wedding. No, they're good,
he said, I'm not going out of my love for America. Oh,
because he's too busy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That's got a sting.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And to be fair, he has a few balls in
the air at the moment, Donnie, with Iran and everything
else he's starting.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But sorry, nothing on earth should be more important than
your child getting married.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's one day, You're right, there's got to be someone who,
you know, can sitting for the president for one day.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Listen, I've got to I remember my parents actually went
to a wedding a couple of years ago actually, and
the bride a bit of a bridezilla. Her dad had
driven into state to pick up her wedding dress because
she didn't want to put it on the plane. And
then though, you know how sometimes you have a few
drinks the night before, so kind of like they did
(11:58):
a little bit of mingling because it was an away wedding,
and apparently the dad had one or two beers and
was very friendly. My mom and dad said he was
absolutely lovely greeting all the guests, and the bride had
apparently forbidden him of drinking, so anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Maybe you should take a break.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
So come the day of the wedding, she's gotten win
that the dad has had a few drinks, not slashed
or anything like that, and she has turned around and said,
you can't walk me down the aisle, Like I feel
like that's the biggest day in a dad's life. You're
essentially giving away your daughter, you know, to become another
man's responsibility. But it's a big moment, and she's gone
(12:38):
up and she walked down the aisle on her own.
That story nasty.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
That It's really hard for me as someone who has
had problems with alcohol in the past and been given
ultimatums and given promises about not drinking, and a lot
of the people who you're making these promises who don't
really understand the complexity of everything. And yet and I
(13:03):
have had major issues with family members because I did
something like have a beer when I said I wasn't drinking,
and I wasn't drunk. But some people, particularly when when
it's people I've hurt in the past through being you know,
absolutely sloshed for days and days and days.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
So when they go, oh, good, Chris isn't drinking and
they see me have a beer.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
They get disappointed and just black or white and they go, god,
he's no, he's drinking, and she's cracked it at the dad.
And the dad isn't getting to walk her down the
aisle because he had had a few beers on the
eve of his daughter's wedding and celebration, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And I understand the people in your life, but I
don't this dad didn't even have a drinking.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh he's not even a drunk.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
No, he's not drunk, and he didn't have a drinking problem.
It was more just I don't know if it's a
control thing, but she just and everyone and he was
at the wedding and you could just see. My mom said,
he was just so gutted. Wasn't allowed to say a speech.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Nothing did he drink at the wedding that I would
have that's the go to, right, you go, well, you're
angry at me for having a few beer years the
night before, so I can't walk.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You down the aisle. Watch the damage I do today,
Pass me the wine list.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yes, okay, this is Chris Page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Amy Shark.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
They're on Kiss with Chris and Amy in the Morning.
The title of that song says here it's called the
Biggest Ick as.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
In a nick.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's definitely not the biggest ick.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
There's another using our intellects.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And I think it's actually a really great song. Yeah,
I agree, And my kids like chant it all the
time and they always want it played, so they're screaming
out play the Biggest Dick all the time.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Thanks Amy Shark for nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Great song.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It is good.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
But they're constantly particularly boys I'm guessing, are competitive.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All my kids are competitive.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Everything turns into a competition, whether I mean, but it
can be something so stupid, like hey, I can say, hey,
let's both sit out the front here. Henry, you count
every time you see a red car oscar. You count
every time you see a blue carp. If there's more
red cars than blue cars, Henry will do a victory
lap and float the He's won and you haven't won anything. Yeah, there,
(15:14):
we don't actually play that car game. But it actually
sounds boring, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
But every single thing, you can actually use it to
your advantage. Yes, right, So my kids are fiercely competitive
as well, even my daughter. I know you said it
was a boy thing, but my daughter's probably the worst
one out of all of them. I will often use
it to my advantage, so it'll be like, hey, you
all need to get upstairs and brush your teeth. I'm
going to time who can get up there the quickest. Yeah,
(15:40):
and they all. The only thing is it always backfires
because whoever loses ends up throwing a tantrum.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
They're in tears, and also someone gets pushed down the
stairs in the rush to be top of the stairs first.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
But there's a level though, you.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Can find that sweet spot though of harnessing the competitiveness
and get stuff done. My kids in the morning have
just been terrible because Georgie, our bread winner, has gone
to her big job in the city, yes, and daddy's
at home doing cleaning and cooking and trying to get
kids to pack away lego because the cleaners were coming,
and they just go, nah, just.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Don't respect me at all. So they responded all to music.
So I said, all right. Tell you what, guys, Hey,
come in here.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm going to put on a song because I bet
the two of you can't put all this lego back
in the box by the time this song finishes.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
There's no way.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
See that's good because you're making them work together.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
So against me. Yeah, as I'm going, I know you
can't do it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes, they're like a challenge.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah. So I put on song two by Blur, which
is one minute fifty eight overlabeled for all the radio people.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It's one of the short ones.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And they totally failed, oh, because they weren't working together.
They were both picking up little things. And so at
the end of Blur song Too, I said, look, let
me show you something here.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Work together and use this oscar. You pick up this
big flat thing and use it to push all the
lego into a pile. And then Henry used this one
to get that pile and put it in the end.
Will go quicker. Let's put on another song.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
A longer one, Buy Me a Pony by Spy Debate,
which is one minute forty even shorter, and said, all right,
go And this time they did a lot better because
the first time they did it, their naturally instinct was
to compete with each other, and they started talking about
who'd put more pieces in, and I was like, no,
that's that's not the game.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Game's beating me.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You've got to work together and you've lost, so now
try again.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, and now I'm the winner and all the lego
was picked up. Hey, you've cracked the code competitiveness with me.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yes. Great.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
So tell your child as often as possible. I know
you can't do this.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I just build them up or keep kicking them down
so that they rise to the challenge.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes, Like Oscar's got to talk at assembly this Friday
and every day.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You can't do it.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Oscar, you can't do this.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You are going to fail at this, and I'm going
to be there laughing mysig.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh my god. I don't think that is I don't
think that is the right thing.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
How motivated this is going to be to do a
good job in year one?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
We're getting old. Amy turned forty a couple of weeks ago.
How's it going for you the hill?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I feel great. Apparently there's an aging cliff and it
hits it at about forty four, and then you start
to really look old.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Oh great, I'm forty three.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Thanks, you got one more year, Bud.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I lost it a long time ago. Don't worry. I
got it out of the way early. Looking like shit
in your thirties makes your forties no pressure.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay, so you peaked early.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And I saw this online, these two ladies talking about
the things you like less as you get older, and
I think they made some good points.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Name some things you like less and less as you
get older.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Camping, carnival rides, pants with no stretch.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Gene, trends that changed faster than I can purchase third
row of a car. Definitely, Hey to els, how often
I have.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
To go to the saline to cover up my grease,
Grocery stores that remodel.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
And move everything.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
It went downhill at the end when she's like covering
up gray hair, It's like, yeah, but I get the
other starf camping.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I mean, I never liked camping to begin with, but
that's a young person's game. If somebody said, hey, come
camping with me for a thousand dollars, I'd date no, thanks, No.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
You need one.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's why there's the gray nomads. Once I'm forty plus,
I want a luxury van. You know, like a motor
home with a shower and a toilet.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't even want a motor home. I need like
a little bungalow.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yes, yes, so there's camping. I don't know what else?
What do you like? Less and less?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I hate anybody that makes a dinner reservation after eight pm? Yes,
like I used to go to dinner at eight thirty.
Sometimes take a nine pm dinner booking. I can't do it.
I cannot go to dinner at eight pm. It has
to be the seven, seven thirty at the latest.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Seven's the cutoff. I love a six pm dinner. Yes,
so do I sit down sharp six o'clock, get into
the bread and with you. I'll take it beyond dinner
as well.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Shows.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Let's bring back matinees. Yes, if you're touring, come to
a daytime show.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Absolutely, I love it. Even eight thirty movies. I don't
like them. I used to. I love going to eight
thirty pm movies.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
At the cinema.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
At the cinema, yeah, would never, would never go because
then you're not getting home till like midnight.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, too late, too late.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Okay, So I think late nights are a common theme here,
and we've already covered ice skating on the show this weekend.
That that's not fun once your bones start getting a
bit more barrittle.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, time to quit that.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'll tell you what else I hate. I hate going
and trying on clothes, especially swimwear. You know, like you're
going on a holiday or something and you go into
David Jones or Meyer or somewhere you start trying on
all these bikinis and the fluorescent lighting. Yeah, you've had
three kids for me, and just like every little lump
and bump I will just purchase. I'll go home and
(20:52):
try it on in the safety of my own bedroom.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The darkness, the relative darkness of my own bedroom, tried
on lightings, everything. Our two bathrooms at home have like
different lights in them, And honestly, when I get out
of the shower naked, I'm a different person depending on
which bathroom my own.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yes, it's so true. What about you. You got anything
that you've stopped liking since getting old?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
People who have phone conversations on speakerphone? Is that an
age thing that I think those people are.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I don't think no, no, I don't think you ever
like that though.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
No, but I dislike it more. I think it's just generally.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
As I get older and my transition into Clint Eastwood
from Grand Tarino continues, I'm just getting crabbier about everything.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
What about loud noises too, well, I hate noise and crowds.
You are getting old.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I'm actually, you know what, I'm developing those sensory issues
that I know people having a lot of kids have.
My son Henry is quite sensitive to that stuff as well,
but I've developed it in my forties.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Hating noises and crowds.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I think it's just an age thing.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Just people as well. It's called being a misanthrope.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
By the way, missanthroat.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, you're not misogynist and you're not misuinterest. You just
hate all people equally. Misanthropy Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Misanthropy is someone who genuinely dislikes, distrust, or hates humanity
and human nature.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
That's me.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh my gosh, that sounds sad.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I was looking. I found the word misanthropic.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, okay, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
To put that on my Instagramio sound quite bitter. Well,
the world has dished me up a lot of wrong
and I intend to write them. Okay, with a shotgun
on my porch when I'm very, very old, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
All right, it's the dream.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Jerid.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Okay, so I got this dilemma for you. Moving on,
I saw a thing online and I'm going to play
it for you.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Great.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Let me let me be honest about Okay, here we
because I would like your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
You can have one billion dollars untaxed right now, but
you have to watch your entire life through your eyes
with your family.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
And and what's the alternative?
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Like nothing and nothing, nothing and nothing every I will
figure it out every sexual experience.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Party. What about a trillion dollars?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I
think that. Well, maybe I would discuss with my parents,
like at that point I'd be like, listen.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
They're going to see it all.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
No, No, I don't think I thought of you, Amy Gerard,
because of all the people I know, you do have
a very close relationship with your parents. They're both like
friends to you now, and particularly your mom. I know
you've always told your mom things you won't even tell
your dad.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
But sitting down a family movie night.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
If it was just my mom, absolutely, because my mom
is I mean she wasn't born yesterday. She knows that
I have been intimate with men.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Surely she's naive as to the extent.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Definitely naive to the extent.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Like, but all parents are naive, of course, and.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Also they probably just don't need to know. But I
could not imagine gin my dad watching I killass.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
You'd have a billion dollars and a dead bee, Like
that's the question, would you rather? Would you take a
billion dollars over your dad's life?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
No, No, you would not know.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I wouldn't because would you.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeh.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I never have sex anymore, So I'm like, it wouldn't
be that bad. But then you, Ah, no, I did
used to.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, Like I think about me in my twenties and
I was very experimental and I.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Don't even know that sex is the worst.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
No, sex would definitely be the worst for me, for you.
There's nothing else that I've done that they would go, Oh,
it would be definitely the intimate stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I worked a triple m for twelve years. I have
done some terrible, terrible things.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, I don't know anything.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's a no for me to keep Your billion money
does not buy.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Happiness, does amen? It really doesn't. And you know what
Biggie Small says, Mo money, mo problems. The more money
you have, the more problems you have. And on my life,
everybody I know that has a lot of money has
more drama.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Exactly. You know what, government, if you lose tax us more.
You know they've just done this, but take all our
money and give it to the government.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Don't do that.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I was being sucks. Yeah, yeah, I won't start.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
We got to go.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
All right, we're back next week, Yes we are.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We can talk the taxation system in Australia then we
until then we're out of a good day of you guys.
I Heart podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Sunday explains at school, everybody's them though. It's good fee.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And this is Chris and Amy in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Kiss, Hey, good morning everyone, Happy Sunday, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You are I am fresher lightly, Yes, I am.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Amy was hung yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But you I was in a bad way. But I
had a very early night last night, and I feel
like myself again.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Well done, and you carried it well yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I thought so too.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I did Breakfast Radio Monday to Friday for twelve years.
I don't know how many hangovers.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Did you ever go into breakfast radio from a night? No?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Oh no, but I know people who did. But I
went too hard for that, like I yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We had our meeting earlier in the week where we
just we just chitchat, see what comes up, and sometimes
we go we we've got to reveal this on air,
as you were disgusted with me as a movie buff,
which I pride myself on.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, you have seen every single movie on the planet.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I'm not quiet. Yeah, because I said I never saw
Top Gun and.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You that actually shocks me, as well, because it is
such a big movie. I actually don't know anyone who
hasn't seen Top Gun. I don't know if you got
beef with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
No, I like, I've seen all the Mission Impossibles. I
like Tom. I just there's something about that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's just it doesn't look like a movie that's aged well,
like out of the eighties.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It just there was another one that you said you
hadn't seen.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Back to the Future any of it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yes, Emilio, who's the guy that.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
The old guy?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Yeah, Michael J.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Fox, who now isn't very well unfortunately, and Christopher Lloyd
I think is the wacky old guy with the DeLorean
right Galorean.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I would have thought that you would have liked those movies.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I probably Would's odd.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Maybe you should watch them tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Now. You told me a movie you haven't seen. The
Dark Night.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh, yeah, no, I haven't seen it Batman two.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
In the Christopher Nolan trilogy and widely accepted to be
one of the best action movies of all time, if
not one of the best films.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, never seen it.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Time, you'd love The Dark Knight, And surely Ryan's he'll
watch it with you.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't want to watch it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Why not? The kids will love it?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Is it appropriate for my kid?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, it's fine. Heath Ledger is not terrifying at all.
Maybe he didn't like that not one bit. People have
seen it one night. Okay, you're looking at me like,
is he having a stroke? On air? I was like,
what is never mind? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
All right, I'll see top Gun if you see the
Dark Knight Deal. Sure, reviews to come next week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
This is Chris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So I told you I was becoming a woman.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yes, online, I'm using my wife's Facebook account. So I
don't have the Facebook.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
It's just Facebook. Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't have Facebook, yes at all. So but you
know I'm obsessed with Facebook. Marketplace now, yes, that's your
new thing. So my wife gave me the login to hers,
and so now I sit there on Marketplace and people
think they're having a conversation with Georgie Page, whose profile
picture is this.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Lovely, beautiful, beaming smile photo of her. I think it
was from our wedding day.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Actually, you know, Georgie, My wife just radiates like happiness
and warmth, and that's how people treat her online.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Are they really friendly to you.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Oh and it helps your bargaining as well. It's price.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And they always say kids don't talk to people on
roadblocks because you don't know if you're talking to an
eight year.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Old boy or a forty three year old male. Creep.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Exactly right, This is literally what's happening. These poor people
on Facebook Marketplace think that they're.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Going, oh, she looks sweet, I'll give it to her
for fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And then wait, do you then rock up to pick
it up?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Once the deal is done? I go, My husband will
be there at one o'clock to pick it up. I
never actually switch into first person.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You don't actually put Georgie's clothes on and a wig
to then go and pick stuff up?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Do you not?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Yet?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Whoa idea?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
What a hell of an idea that would be.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You've got enough time on your hands that you probably
could do this. You could do like you could be
the new Missus. Doubtfire.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm here to pick up the rug, but you're right,
I do have a lot of time on my hands,
so I'm gonna I've decided I can't be my wife
on Facebook every time I want to buy something on
Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So that's coming to an end. Okay, are you I'm
starting a new Facebook account?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yes, okay, great as.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
A woman again though, no, yes i am, because I'm
not going to chat to people online and do anything weird.
It's only for Facebook marketplace. The conversations never deviate away from.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
This.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
How much is because it made me realize that Georgie
looks nice, so people are nice to her.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
You know what you should do. You should start your
own account called Chris Page and have a nice family
photo up. Yeah, if people think that you're a family guy,
they're going to treat you nicely. If you're in the
gym and you're taking a gym selfie in a mirror,
no one's replying to that guy.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I just think it wouldn't hurt to be a woman
because both men and women sellers are nicer to women.
It's a win win because the women are like, oh,
it's one of my sisters, and they feel very safe
as well.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
If a woman's going to come and pick something up.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
If you're going to be using Georgie's account, you can
just continue to pretend to be Georgie. But if you
are actually going to go to the trouble of creating
your own account. I think you have to be a man.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, I'm going to be a woman. I'm working on
the name are you going to get the photos? I
want to name that.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Women would like, but also a name that's like hot
for men. I'm thinking maybe Chloe, and it's like Chris. Right,
it's five letters and I.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Really thought this through. Where are you going to get
the photo from?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Somewhere around them? So obviously I'm not going to go
Margot Robbie's photo. Now, I'll find some random maybe Swedish
or Norwegian.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Girl on I mean, this feels very not appropriate. Catfishy right, yeah,
a little catfish.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I must stress again the conversation does not deviate off
what time can I take up? And how much is
it for?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Now?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
What's wrong with me with some like lonely old blokes
who want to sell their projector and they think they're
talking to someone looks a lot likely from Sweden Chloe. No,
she's from Australia, but you know she just looks like
Anna Cornerkva. I mean, you know, if they want to
give an a corner Kova look alike their projector for
a lower price, yeah, sure, and then I can rock
(06:46):
up and go hi, I'm her husband, and they'll be.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like, wow, that guy must be hung.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Is she blind? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Look out for if you're selling something to someone called
Chloe online.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It's Crisp Page.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Say hi, this is Crispage and Amy where both parents.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I've got two boys six and eight. You've got three
kids six, eight and ten. Yes, you are brave. But
they were all babies. Obviously, yes, obviously, yes it was
a baby.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
They all started out as babies.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, so we know a bit about babies. And well,
I'm going to criticize these people. They were a rich
couple and they outsource a lot of the hard work
around their baby, as I think a lot of us
would go, you know what, like with a nanny. They
do have a nanny, but they have a listener, okay
to what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I think it goes a bit too far.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
What's one thing that you've delegated that most people would
consider ridiculous? We have four kids, and you know, as
you know, babies and kids don't always slip through the name.
We would listen to the baby monitors, so you could
hear them cry, and you could go in and Catherine's like,
why are we listening. Why don't we delegate that to
insist in the Philippines. And so we now have two
(07:55):
nurses who live in the Philippines and it's daytime for
them and they're working studying, but they have our baby
monitors on and if the kids need help, they can
play a song. If the kids are crying and really
need us, or call us and we'll go in. But
of the time they can be calmed without us going in.
I mean, we've been doing it for years now, and
it's the last thing I would turn off because it
(08:16):
protects our sleep.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But you can tell that guy works in tech.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He was like, why are we listening to the baby crank?
Because it's your child and because it's.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Part of life and the experience of having well baby.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
In the house. Are they like, I could hear my
baby crying from anywhere in my house, upstairs, downstairs, one
end of the house to the other. I could hear
my baby crying. I can even go further, and I
feel like mother's instinct and intuition. Sometimes I would wake
up before my baby even started crying. I would just
like wake up and I couldn't hear anything, and I'd
(08:50):
you know, something's going to hap, I'd go in and
check and they defecated in their happy Well.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
These people sound like they might have like a different
wing of the house. You know that the baby's in right?
I love that he says it like a revelation. Go down.
Why we listening to the baby on Earth?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Are we listening to?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Why aren't we outsourcing this to the Philippines?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But I'm so confused. So if the baby cries, what
the Filipino assistant is what playing a lullaby down the phone?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, so they've got the intercom, so the Filipino assistant
can either let you know, you press the button and
it plays that music, lullabye music, or they can soothe
them with their voice. Yeah, and all that sort of stuff.
But they're doing it from the Philippines to another person's
kid that they've never met.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, it feels a little. It's all ficky, especially when
babies are babies, because they're so defenseless and they can't
do anything for themselves, and that's when you really need
to step up as a parent and look after them.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You should want to, really, if you're a parent, you
should want to be doing that.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I always wanted my kids close.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
To me, I just yeah, that intercom opened to someone
in the Philippines who could be saying anything like in
the middle of the nine.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
And also like when the baby's crying and the Filipinos
can't get them to go to sleep, what are they
doing calling? If this couple are so against their baby crying,
surely they're not sleeping with their phone on loud because
that's going to interrupt your sleep too.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
But yeah, these babies are effectively being raised at nighttime
anyway by like a call center in the Philippines.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Probably would have kept that one under wraps if I
was that guy.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
But the baby is really keen to change their solar panels,
not happy with the plan. So I think they've been
talking about that all night the Philippines.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
All Right, this is Cris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
We're pretty much gone Trump free on the show.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Are you holding up okay?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Because I think I'm with a lot of people like
Trump was funny for a while and now and a
lot of people go, you know what, Actually, some of
the stuff Trump does we could kind of use here
at Alba, Like he's gone too far. Absolutely, and there's
a lot of fatigue talking about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But here we're going to talk about him anyway.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
We want to talk about his son, John Jr. Who
got married over the week. And I thought that's lovely.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
But Daddy didn't go to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
He didn't go to his own son's wedding.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
He didn't go to his own size wedding. No, they're good,
he said, I'm not going out of my love for America. Oh,
because he's too busy.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
That's got a sting.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And to be fair, he has a few balls in
the air at the moment, Donnie, with Iran and everything
else he's starting.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But sorry, nothing on earth should be more important than
your child getting married.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
It's one day, You're right, there's got to be someone who,
you know, can sitting for the president for one day.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Listen, I've got to I remember my parents actually went
to a wedding a couple of years ago actually, and
the bride a bit of a bridezilla. Her dad had
driven into state to pick up her wedding dress because
she didn't want to put it on the plane. And
then though, you know how sometimes you have a few
drinks the night before, so kind of like they did
(11:58):
a little bit of mingling because it was an away wedding,
and apparently the dad had one or two beers and
was very friendly. My mom and dad said he was
absolutely lovely greeting all the guests, and the bride had
apparently forbidden him of drinking, so anyway.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Maybe you should take a break.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
So come the day of the wedding, she's gotten win
that the dad has had a few drinks, not slashed
or anything like that, and she has turned around and said,
you can't walk me down the aisle, Like I feel
like that's the biggest day in a dad's life. You're
essentially giving away your daughter, you know, to become another
man's responsibility. But it's a big moment, and she's gone
(12:38):
up and she walked down the aisle on her own.
That story nasty.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
That It's really hard for me as someone who has
had problems with alcohol in the past and been given
ultimatums and given promises about not drinking, and a lot
of the people who you're making these promises who don't
really understand the complexity of everything. And yet and I
(13:03):
have had major issues with family members because I did
something like have a beer when I said I wasn't drinking,
and I wasn't drunk. But some people, particularly when when
it's people I've hurt in the past through being you know,
absolutely sloshed for days and days and days.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
So when they go, oh, good, Chris isn't drinking and
they see me have a beer.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
They get disappointed and just black or white and they go, god,
he's no, he's drinking, and she's cracked it at the dad.
And the dad isn't getting to walk her down the
aisle because he had had a few beers on the
eve of his daughter's wedding and celebration, you know.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And I understand the people in your life, but I
don't this dad didn't even have a drinking.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Oh he's not even a drunk.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
No, he's not drunk, and he didn't have a drinking problem.
It was more just I don't know if it's a
control thing, but she just and everyone and he was
at the wedding and you could just see. My mom said,
he was just so gutted. Wasn't allowed to say a speech.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Nothing did he drink at the wedding that I would
have that's the go to, right, you go, well, you're
angry at me for having a few beer years the
night before, so I can't walk.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
You down the aisle. Watch the damage I do today,
Pass me the wine list.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yes, okay, this is Chris Page and Amy Gerard.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Amy Shark.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
They're on Kiss with Chris and Amy in the Morning.
The title of that song says here it's called the
Biggest Ick as.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
In a nick.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's definitely not the biggest ick.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
There's another using our intellects.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
And I think it's actually a really great song. Yeah,
I agree, And my kids like chant it all the
time and they always want it played, so they're screaming
out play the Biggest Dick all the time.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Thanks Amy Shark for nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Great song.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It is good.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
But they're constantly particularly boys I'm guessing, are competitive.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
All my kids are competitive.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Everything turns into a competition, whether I mean, but it
can be something so stupid, like hey, I can say, hey,
let's both sit out the front here. Henry, you count
every time you see a red car oscar. You count
every time you see a blue carp. If there's more
red cars than blue cars, Henry will do a victory
lap and float the He's won and you haven't won anything. Yeah, there,
(15:14):
we don't actually play that car game. But it actually
sounds boring, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
But every single thing, you can actually use it to
your advantage. Yes, right, So my kids are fiercely competitive
as well, even my daughter. I know you said it
was a boy thing, but my daughter's probably the worst
one out of all of them. I will often use
it to my advantage, so it'll be like, hey, you
all need to get upstairs and brush your teeth. I'm
going to time who can get up there the quickest. Yeah,
(15:40):
and they all. The only thing is it always backfires
because whoever loses ends up throwing a tantrum.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
They're in tears, and also someone gets pushed down the
stairs in the rush to be top of the stairs first.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
But there's a level though, you.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Can find that sweet spot though of harnessing the competitiveness
and get stuff done. My kids in the morning have
just been terrible because Georgie, our bread winner, has gone
to her big job in the city, yes, and daddy's
at home doing cleaning and cooking and trying to get
kids to pack away lego because the cleaners were coming,
and they just go, nah, just.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Don't respect me at all. So they responded all to music.
So I said, all right. Tell you what, guys, Hey,
come in here.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'm going to put on a song because I bet
the two of you can't put all this lego back
in the box by the time this song finishes.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
There's no way.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
See that's good because you're making them work together.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
So against me. Yeah, as I'm going, I know you
can't do it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes, they're like a challenge.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah. So I put on song two by Blur, which
is one minute fifty eight overlabeled for all the radio people.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It's one of the short ones.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And they totally failed, oh, because they weren't working together.
They were both picking up little things. And so at
the end of Blur song Too, I said, look, let
me show you something here.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Work together and use this oscar. You pick up this
big flat thing and use it to push all the
lego into a pile. And then Henry used this one
to get that pile and put it in the end.
Will go quicker. Let's put on another song.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
A longer one, Buy Me a Pony by Spy Debate,
which is one minute forty even shorter, and said, all right,
go And this time they did a lot better because
the first time they did it, their naturally instinct was
to compete with each other, and they started talking about
who'd put more pieces in, and I was like, no,
that's that's not the game.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Game's beating me.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
You've got to work together and you've lost, so now
try again.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, and now I'm the winner and all the lego
was picked up. Hey, you've cracked the code competitiveness with me.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yes. Great.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
So tell your child as often as possible. I know
you can't do this.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I just build them up or keep kicking them down
so that they rise to the challenge.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes, Like Oscar's got to talk at assembly this Friday
and every day.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
You can't do it.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Oscar, you can't do this.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You are going to fail at this, and I'm going
to be there laughing mysig.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh my god. I don't think that is I don't
think that is the right thing.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
How motivated this is going to be to do a
good job in year one?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
We're getting old. Amy turned forty a couple of weeks ago.
How's it going for you the hill?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I feel great. Apparently there's an aging cliff and it
hits it at about forty four, and then you start
to really look old.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Oh great, I'm forty three.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Thanks, you got one more year, Bud.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I lost it a long time ago. Don't worry. I
got it out of the way early. Looking like shit
in your thirties makes your forties no pressure.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay, so you peaked early.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
And I saw this online, these two ladies talking about
the things you like less as you get older, and
I think they made some good points.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Name some things you like less and less as you
get older.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Camping, carnival rides, pants with no stretch.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Gene, trends that changed faster than I can purchase third
row of a car. Definitely, Hey to els, how often
I have.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
To go to the saline to cover up my grease,
Grocery stores that remodel.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
And move everything.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
It went downhill at the end when she's like covering
up gray hair, It's like, yeah, but I get the
other starf camping.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I mean, I never liked camping to begin with, but
that's a young person's game. If somebody said, hey, come
camping with me for a thousand dollars, I'd date no, thanks, No.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
You need one.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's why there's the gray nomads. Once I'm forty plus,
I want a luxury van. You know, like a motor
home with a shower and a toilet.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I don't even want a motor home. I need like
a little bungalow.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yes, yes, so there's camping. I don't know what else?
What do you like? Less and less?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I hate anybody that makes a dinner reservation after eight pm? Yes,
like I used to go to dinner at eight thirty.
Sometimes take a nine pm dinner booking. I can't do it.
I cannot go to dinner at eight pm. It has
to be the seven, seven thirty at the latest.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Seven's the cutoff. I love a six pm dinner. Yes,
so do I sit down sharp six o'clock, get into
the bread and with you. I'll take it beyond dinner
as well.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Shows.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Let's bring back matinees. Yes, if you're touring, come to
a daytime show.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Absolutely, I love it. Even eight thirty movies. I don't
like them. I used to. I love going to eight
thirty pm movies.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
At the cinema.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
At the cinema, yeah, would never, would never go because
then you're not getting home till like midnight.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, too late, too late.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Okay, So I think late nights are a common theme here,
and we've already covered ice skating on the show this weekend.
That that's not fun once your bones start getting a
bit more barrittle.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Yeah, time to quit that.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'll tell you what else I hate. I hate going
and trying on clothes, especially swimwear. You know, like you're
going on a holiday or something and you go into
David Jones or Meyer or somewhere you start trying on
all these bikinis and the fluorescent lighting. Yeah, you've had
three kids for me, and just like every little lump
and bump I will just purchase. I'll go home and
(20:52):
try it on in the safety of my own bedroom.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The darkness, the relative darkness of my own bedroom, tried
on lightings, everything. Our two bathrooms at home have like
different lights in them, And honestly, when I get out
of the shower naked, I'm a different person depending on
which bathroom my own.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yes, it's so true. What about you. You got anything
that you've stopped liking since getting old?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
People who have phone conversations on speakerphone? Is that an
age thing that I think those people are.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I don't think no, no, I don't think you ever
like that though.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
No, but I dislike it more. I think it's just generally.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
As I get older and my transition into Clint Eastwood
from Grand Tarino continues, I'm just getting crabbier about everything.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
What about loud noises too, well, I hate noise and crowds.
You are getting old.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I'm actually, you know what, I'm developing those sensory issues
that I know people having a lot of kids have.
My son Henry is quite sensitive to that stuff as well,
but I've developed it in my forties.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Hating noises and crowds.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I think it's just an age thing.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Just people as well. It's called being a misanthrope.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
By the way, missanthroat.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Yeah, you're not misogynist and you're not misuinterest. You just
hate all people equally. Misanthropy Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Misanthropy is someone who genuinely dislikes, distrust, or hates humanity
and human nature.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
That's me.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh my gosh, that sounds sad.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I was looking. I found the word misanthropic.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, okay, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
To put that on my Instagramio sound quite bitter. Well,
the world has dished me up a lot of wrong
and I intend to write them. Okay, with a shotgun
on my porch when I'm very, very old, you know.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
All right, it's the dream.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Jerid.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Okay, so I got this dilemma for you. Moving on,
I saw a thing online and I'm going to play
it for you.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Great.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Let me let me be honest about Okay, here we
because I would like your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
You can have one billion dollars untaxed right now, but
you have to watch your entire life through your eyes
with your family.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
And and what's the alternative?
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Like nothing and nothing, nothing and nothing every I will
figure it out every sexual experience.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Party. What about a trillion dollars?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I
think that. Well, maybe I would discuss with my parents,
like at that point I'd be like, listen.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
They're going to see it all.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
No, No, I don't think I thought of you, Amy Gerard,
because of all the people I know, you do have
a very close relationship with your parents. They're both like
friends to you now, and particularly your mom. I know
you've always told your mom things you won't even tell
your dad.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
But sitting down a family movie night.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
If it was just my mom, absolutely, because my mom
is I mean she wasn't born yesterday. She knows that
I have been intimate with men.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Surely she's naive as to the extent.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Definitely naive to the extent.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Like, but all parents are naive, of course, and.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Also they probably just don't need to know. But I
could not imagine gin my dad watching I killass.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
You'd have a billion dollars and a dead bee, Like
that's the question, would you rather? Would you take a
billion dollars over your dad's life?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
No, No, you would not know.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I wouldn't because would you.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeh.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I never have sex anymore, So I'm like, it wouldn't
be that bad. But then you, Ah, no, I did
used to.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, Like I think about me in my twenties and
I was very experimental and I.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Don't even know that sex is the worst.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
No, sex would definitely be the worst for me, for you.
There's nothing else that I've done that they would go, Oh,
it would be definitely the intimate stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I worked a triple m for twelve years. I have
done some terrible, terrible things.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, I don't know anything.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
It's a no for me to keep Your billion money
does not buy.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Happiness, does amen? It really doesn't. And you know what
Biggie Small says, Mo money, mo problems. The more money
you have, the more problems you have. And on my life,
everybody I know that has a lot of money has
more drama.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Exactly. You know what, government, if you lose tax us more.
You know they've just done this, but take all our
money and give it to the government.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Don't do that.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
I was being sucks. Yeah, yeah, I won't start.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
We got to go.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
All right, we're back next week, Yes we are.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
