Christmas chaos officially hits peak level. Amy opens up about total end-of-year burnout — juggling school holidays, work pressure, kids’ birthdays, presents, teachers, family logistics and the mental load that never switches off. The pair vent about everything they hate at Christmas (elves, pudding, forced church trips and bonbons), before spiralling into a rant about cheeky restaurants adding “suggested” tips in Australia.
The Facebook Mums Group sparks outrage when one brutally honest mum admits she tells her kids the full truth at Christmas — no magic, no lies — and Chris & Amy are absolutely not having it. Plus, Amy shares shock landscaping quotes, the “wanker tax,” and why women get charged more, before the show wraps with a new favourite game: running to the savage Instagram comments on a viral haircut disaster.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, sir, I'm talking. Let's go. Let's good morning that
remains to be seen Chris Page and Amy Girard in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Good morning everyone. Happy Sunday, Amy Gerard.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Happy Sunday.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You look exhausted because you're a mom at school holidays
and it's forced Lee still soundday.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah, I'm shaddered, truth be told. Yeah, you know you're good.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm sweet. I love Christmas.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
You actually look well rested.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, yeah, because you've probably done the beam minimum.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Look, my wife's been running around acting like I've just
got to organize all this stuff, acting.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Like so's just putting it on. Have you.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We've got the Christmas tree up though, and I know
you do as well. Have you got the presence under
the tree yet or do you?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
No? I started doing some rapping, like the schmuck that
I am. I have all these ideas of like doing
each kid's presence, you know, one night during the week,
and then I'd never do any of it, and then
I frantically panic wrap on Christmas, even stay up till
all hours of the morning. But I wrapped three presents,
one for each of my kids, and I put them
under the tree and they said, no, we don't want
(01:33):
Christmas presents under the tree.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I think what they like is they like coming down
on Christmas Morning to a.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Tree that originally had nothing under it, to then all
of the Christmas I think it's just more of the
wow factor.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Right, So it's not just Santa's presents that have been
added overnight. It's like everything.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Appears, everything appears, and it just looks more wow.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I've got another theory that I think they don't want
presents that fit under the tree. They're like an e
bike that doesn't fit under the tree, so I don't
want it.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
They're never getting one of them either. Have you wrapped
any presents? Sorry, that's that's a trick question.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm ordered, George, we delivered? I don't know. I did
see a video on the Insta though, and they showed
how they wrap presence in Japan. Oh well, I don't
know about every person in Japan, but I think it
was actually one of the fancy department stores. But the Japanese,
you know how efficient they are. He wraps this present
and he has to his one bit of sticky tape
(02:29):
and it's literally this box in the middle. I mean,
it's easier if it's a square box, right, there's pleasure
to wrap. But he does all the origami styles, folding
around it perfectly, neat, and then the final four goes
over the top and just one little bit of tape.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I feel like that would be quite enjoyable to watch.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It is sort of soothing to you. It's like one
of those Yeah, it's like an open fireplace TV channel.
It's just like, yeah, I could watch that all day.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I could just share it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This is Chris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know, Christmas is a time of joy, giving, happiness, positivity, forgiveness.
Can we bring some hate into Christmas?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Just?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh gosh, but you can't love everything about Christmas?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And you know, and I've got some I've got some dislikes.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I want to know what you hate about Christmas? Christmasing?
Yeah that Everything about You by Ugly Kid Joe. Okay,
check it out.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It sounds depressing.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What do you hate about Christmas?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
The Elf? I don't like the elf.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
It's just an added layer of unnecessary stress for mums.
So much so that I have well and truly relinquished
all responsibility of it, and my husband had no other
choice about to step up.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So your husband's working with the elf this year, and
but you're still cleaning up after him.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's exactly what's up to this year.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
He's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I found him in the fridge this morning, Yeah, wrapped
in some ham.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
He doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, he made himself some sort of turkey, poor cheddar
roll or I don't know what he was trying to be.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Don't love the elf.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I really don't like Christmas pudding that belongs in the bin,
in the garbage.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I will hear nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
No, no, I don't. I think any type of fruit
and biscuit and cake can piss off. Yeah, just stay
away from each other, fru It's fine.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
What else I use?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Soaked in brandy?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, also, Chad, what my mum and dad used to
make me do. My mom is quite religious and she's
you know, English, and always what she would do to
us as children is she would let us get up.
We would open our stockings from the end of the bed,
and then there'd be all these presents under the Christmas
tree and she'd say, nah, ah, you've got to go
to church and understand the real meaning of Christmas, and
(04:49):
she would.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Hold us and our press.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
She would hold our presents at ransom, so we would
have to go to church in our Sunday best.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well it's you look back at that and it's nice
and going to church. It is all well and good,
but you would understand how little kids on Christmas flying.
That's a bit of a kill joy, isn't it. It
was a huge Thanks Jesus, give me the bike.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What about you? You got any dislikes?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, the paper hats in the bond bond because I've
got a big head.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Oh yours doesn't fit around no split.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, like normal sized things don't fit on my head.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
So you essentially need to and then sticky tape the
edges of them.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I can't have ever gone to that much trouble.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, I know the bonbond's their crap as well.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I hate the jokes. If I told you our family,
we get in early. Me and my dad are usually
in charge of it. Yeah, it's quite intricate. You've got
to undo the bond bond, pull out the crap joke
they've put in, and just slide in your own joke
to be read out at family family much and the
best part is that most of the family are in
on the joke. Okay, but when you have like a
(05:56):
guest who hasn't been to the Page Family Christmas before,
they're quite shocked. Everyone's watching them open and read their
joke and you just see their eyes and you're.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Like, because I'm imagining none of them.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Are PNG is disgusting to be fair.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And also, you know what else is a real bummer
on Christmas Day is if it's not nice weather.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I feel like a couple of years ago there was
a Christmas Day where it was.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Overcast and drizzly, and that puts a real dampener on
the day.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It's usually either raining or forty forty. It's one of
the other. Yeah, all right, there's some hate for Christmas fare.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
The rest of it is great.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I love Christmas all positivity from here on in.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This is Crispage, and.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I want to break away from Christmas for a moment.
Let's face it. There can be some fatigue. It's about
a This restaurant's in Sydney, but I'm told a lot
of restaurants right around Australia in the cities are doing
this now and it's gone off on social media because
a customer took exception to the bill that they got.
Underneath the prices and the item and the subtotal at
(07:03):
the end a suggested tip, and which I've seen a
lot before, particularly in America. They do because they do
the mass for you. You get there enough, but the tip
has already been added to the bill. The invoice reads,
a suggested tip is included in the bill, and wait
for the end of this because the very end gets
(07:23):
is the worst bit. Please do not hesitate if you
wish to remove it. Grat SI.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That is very cheeky, pretentious.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's an Italian restaurant, obviously, let's not name them.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
M that is Ragusa. It's in Westfield. No, well, I'm
just telling the truth. But I mean, who's gonna go?
I want call the waitress over and go. I want
you to remove that tip.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'll tell you who would my dad.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
My dad would do that out of principle because he
would say, do not like expect that tip. I will
give a tip if I have thought that the service
was immaculate or whatever, or potentially I might want to
tip a specific waiter, a waitress. He is a bit of.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
A like NARKI like that he was a police prosecutor.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He would do it out of principle, and I don't
feel like anyone is going to ask for that ten
percent to be removed.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm with your dad in principle as well, but I
would not have the balls to do it, to send it,
because she's got to take the bill back and go
and do it, and you'd imagine you doing it, and
I just make sure you've eaten and drunk everything before
they come back with fresh spit in it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well, it's also a nice way. It's we're in Australia,
We're not in America. People are paid accordingly over here,
and sometimes I tip, maybe not ten percent, but I
will always leave.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Something higher than the bill. But if I've gone to a.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Restaurant where I have been completely blanked and I've had
to spend a good ten to fifteen minutes trying to
flag down a waiter and.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You ordered on a QR code as well.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Or something like that, yeah, why would I tip them?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You made a point as well where I like your
dad's point on this. He might want to tip a
particular if one waiter has been looking after you all
night yes, and they're fantastic. I don't want to chuck
ten percent in the pool. That's right for all of them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But I actually don't know if it works differently now.
I don't know if at a restaurant you're allowed to
take a personal tip, are you?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They haven't banned that yet, have they.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I actually think that tips are collective. I could be
totally wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Sort of takes away the incentive for the waiter to
really put in that little bit extra. Doesn't it go? Well?
Someone else them?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah? The way? Yeah, do a better job than me.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
This feels like a real old man rave like I mean,
I mean, I feel like a grumpy old man doing
it like me and your dad should do a talkback show.
You should and we give us a call. Yeah, what's
grinding your gears this week? Yeah? I hate menus on blackboards.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I hate self service checkouts. I want to talk to
a real human being.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Why don't they take cash anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I like this show?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
All right? Should I just see myself out and send
big ber?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Now we'll go over to the Amy. This is Chris
Page and Amy to ride when we want to know
what the mums of Australia are dealing with we go
inside that secret society for the latest good oil. It's
the Facebook mums group.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
All right, hi mums.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I'm brutally honest with my kids and I refuse to
lie to them. So this year, when the Christmas questions started,
I told them the full truth, no sugarcoated stories. I
believe kids deserve honesty, not fairy tales, and that real
life hits hard enough without us setting them up for
disappointment later.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Who is this awful woman?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I genuinely think it's helped them trust me more and
understand the world better. Some of my mum friends reckon,
I'm mean for stealing their childhood and the joy of imagination?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Am I the Grinch? Yes? Does anyone else agree with
my stands?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
No love? Karen?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Her name has got to be Karen. What a miserable
old worm?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Now, And we're not going to go into any details
here about what she might be talking about, so I
think the grown ups can figure that out. But my god,
this is a pretty easy one. Why would you take
to do anything to take joy away from kids at Christmas?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Why would you do anything to ruin that magical chapter
in their life.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
It's not about setting them up for disappointment.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's about creating such a magical special time in their
childhood years. There's no disappointment as they grow up. It's
just they grow up and they have friends and they
kind of work it all out on their own, and
then they're kind of in on it and they understand.
I for one, was never disappointed.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I know other older kids who are not disappointed.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
If anything, they're in on it with their parents now
and they help create more magic.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But this woman's acting like she's doing them a favor
and teaching them a life lesson. I mean, when you're
five year years old, believe in enjoy you have got
a long time. You can turn ten and hit puberty
too early because of the hormones in food, and get
bullied on social media, and you can learn about life
when you're ten. Well, I'm just saying, no, life with
(12:24):
you has enough tough lessons down the track.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's exactly right. And life is crappy enough as it is.
As you get older, you learn about the outside world
and you just wish that you were back as a
five year old thinking about the North Pole.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
The Stang awake as long as you possibly can, yes,
to try and catch Santa. I heard Santa one y,
did you heard him creep into my room?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Leave the presence. I pretended to be asleep because obviously
if you're naughty and you're awake, well, Imber, I tricked him.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I remember hearing the reindeers out on the front of
my house. I remember being these big hoofs, and I
remember racing downstairs because we'd always leave out carrots and
milk and apples and whatnot, and they were all half eaten.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So I was like, wow, I love that. I love
that memory as a kid. Santa was I mean, he
was right there, right there, smelt of whiskey. Oh yeah,
don't slay and drive Santa. Come on, you're going to
visit every house in the world. Come on, take it easy, bad,
that's a simple one. You are a grinch. Never email
(13:30):
here again?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No, she did an email here.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh yes, it's the Facebook moms group, isn't it. Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Gerid.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So you're getting some work done. You've got some men
coming around for some work.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No, I am looking to get some landscaping done. And
I've been getting some quotes, and I have been given
the heads up by some builder friends that landscapers, out
of all the trades, will pull the wool over your
eyes because.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Worse than mechanics, because they have.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
The worst apparently, just because most average work people Joe blows,
they're not across what a tile or a paver, or
like a leveling out of a a backyard is gonna cost.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
What is it Joe blows that don't know it? Or
is it Jane blows?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It's both because y's a Joe blow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But would they treat Ryan differently though? Because Ryan's like
a big, manly, hairy guy. He looks like Ryan looks
like someone who goes to Bunnings and knows what a
tile cost. Yeah, well you don't.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I think this is true.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
But also you just have to have a conversation with
Ryan and you realize he's all laptop arms.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But do you reckon with the quotes? They go even
harder on the little lady.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, no, And here's the funny thing is just recently
I've had just in the last two weeks, I've had
three quotes.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But in the last two weeks I've had two.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
And there is a two hundred thousand dollars difference between
two of the quotes, and the one who came in
less was quoted by a female.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Two hundred thousand dollars worth the quote or two hundred
thousand dollars difference difference. What are you getting done?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
My whole backyard, lands and my whole front yard.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I'm going to get onto the social stuff. It takes
me two years to earn that. On a second, four tax, Hang.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
On a second. We've been saving up for the last
two three years.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Okay, sorry, and it's not the point of the story anyway. No, okay,
that is a wild variation.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Variation.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So are you're thinking that the high price is just
taking the piece out of you?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Or are you thinking the low price could come in
and not do such a great job. Have you read
the reviews.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I've read the reviews.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I got the I got one of the quotes, and
it was quite high, and my builder friend said that
seems astronomically high, like I do big houses, you know,
in fancy suburbs, and they don't pay that. So I
had a bit of an inkling. Maybe I was getting
maybe slightly ripped off there.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Oh, it's a wanker attax.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Have you heard, actually what's tax?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
It's when trade's or anyone that can give you a
quote for something, a number that they can pluck out
of their head if they think Wayne is a bit mean.
But if they look at you and go.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
If they personally, I've got the money for it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You've just renovated your house. See you've got a nice place.
You're rocking up. Going now I want to do the garden.
They're probably going, yeah, maybe chuck a bit of GST
GST on this as well and still get you to
pay cash.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, the saddest thing is if I hadn't done my
diligence and gotten a few quotes, Like I think about
my parents, they're so trustworthy of it, and they would
have got they would have got the local guy, the
trust that the guy that they think that they're doing
a real good thing by going with him, and they
just would have got ripped off.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Other people would do it though, Like I knew a
guy who used to His dentist had a window in
the surgery that looked down into the car park, so
the dentist could see what type of car people were driving.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
So if you're driving turning up in a Mercedes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, so you've got to take your beat up old
he and Ai thirty when you go to the dentist. Yes,
don't rock up in a Bentley or the eight series
BMW because the dentist sees that and goes, yep.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Bump that up. She definitely needs multiple feelings.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Attacks out for it. You should like bogan it up
a bit next time they come around.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Just don't shower legs, hairy.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Coloring a few of your teeth with black tailor done.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
This is Crispage and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You're tired, aren't you. I'm so tired for sleeps till Christmas.
And yeah you're you're a busy working mum.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yes, I'm that. December for me is like a brick
to the face. There is just so many things on and.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I know all your work gets busy as well. Right,
It's Christmas time, so everyone wants to do some ads.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Everyone wants to lock in for Black Friday sales. But
all these special deals and sell this and make people
buy this. And I've got my wine. I'm trying to
promote my wine at Last Wine.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Guys. It's a fantastic rose.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Why it is a really good wine. But I think
it's the mental load for me. It's the I as
a woman, as a mother, I am consistently trying to
be one step ahead of the pack. I am trying
to think of all of the kids, all of their presence.
Have I bought each kid the same amount of presents?
(18:18):
Have I bought the school teacher's presence? Have I got
Chartley's dance concert organized. It's also my daughter's birthday. On
Christmas Eve, she had a party. Have I bought her presence?
Have I not bought her enough presence? Because it feels
too close to Christmas and she feels like she's getting spoilt.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But that doesn't feel fair.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
And I feel like you're just swimming in the ocean
and the waves are getting bigger.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And you just.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Feels like I am trying to sweep the floor at
the ocean and every time I'm sweeping, waves are just piling.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
On top of me and over and over dumping you.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, and then you've got your in laws, my parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, and.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
It's just a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I understand you wanting to be that one step ahead, though,
because I was reading I mean, it's a tough financial
It's been a bad year for a lot of families.
It's a shocking percentage of Australians who have less than
five hundred dollars in the bank. For like the dishwasher breaks,
oh yeah, the stuff. For god. I mean, if you
have a dishwasher, you're doing all right. Yeah, I mean
(19:21):
people are doing it really tough. So you want to
be one step ahead. So just one thing could screw
up and you maybe still don't drown. But well, that
stuff all gets on top of you.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I think as well. Everybody is at the end of
year burnout.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
So everybody's feelings and emotions are just like everyone's teetering
on thin edge. So not only am I trying to
combat all the meltdowns from my kids, I'm trying to
keep my own emotions in check and failing at the
moment to do that. Everybody is emotionally unregulated, tired, sweaty, hot.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I just don't think men will ever understand.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No, but I can tell you why. And you know
this about me. I wouldn't even normally say this on air,
but you know everything about me, right, Yes, don't save
your mental breakdown for December. Have a few throughout the
year and space them out. So I did March, July,
and October. I think this year yeah yeah yeah. And
if you space your mental breakdowns right then you should
(20:23):
be sweet for Christmas in the school holidays. No look
all respect you. I know how hard you work as
a mum, several jobs. You got that wine at last wine?
You know, guys, buy it well done.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is crisp page and.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Fun way to win the show is when we run
to the Instagram comments. It's my new favorite on install
when you see, you know, someone really big, or someone
with a bad hair cut, someone who doesn't seem to like.
Last week it.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Was the guy who discovered the moment I discovered I could.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Sing yeah and knocked out some Benson Boone and the
comments were the comments can be really witty, and the
way Instagram works is right, the most liked comments sort
of rise to the top, so the best ones are
like all.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
There are some funny ones going around. But this week
is the lady with the haircut right.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, and she's a pretty girl, but.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
She is sitting in her car.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm sure a lot of people have seen this, and
she has like shoulder what looks like shoulder length hair
and it says something like new haircut for twenty twenty
six or new haircut loading.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And she puts a hand up on the camera.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yes, and then as she pulls her hand back, she
reveals what has got to be one of the most
atrocious haircuts I've ever seen. And whoever the hairdresser was
has hacked at this poor lady's hair. The cutting, the
way it's layered, everything looks atrocious.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It's like Jim Carrey dumb and dumber at the front
and then turns into this like square mullet it suddenly,
and you.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Just want to reach out and go what have you done?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Well? What has she done? Let's go to the comments
the music.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yes, so I'm going to read out something. You're going
to read out something.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let's go onere you go first? All right? Cool? What
does your hairdresser do for a living?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Someone wrote? Can I book a disappointment?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Does she take cancelations?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Did your toddler get time out for this?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's a little shorter than I'd like, But other than that,
I hated a.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Someone wrote so cute? Which foot did she use?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Good? Why are you smiling? I don't know how that
got pumped up so.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Much hair looks like it was actually cut with a
knife and fork.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Good. This has got to be the best one. What
is your hairdresser's address? I wish to open a large
hat shop across the street.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Did you know your hairdresser hated you before or after
this haircut?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Well, the story ends. The story's been updated after this
video has gone around the world. Yes, her hairdresser does
hate her. This poor girl has had to do another
video with an update saying I now need a new
hairdresser because the old hairdresser who got hammered in the
comments that we've just read won't see her anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, but sorry, that's on her. No, she's done a
body ass haircut. This lady was actually sharing it on
socials thinking that she looked good and probably felt good. Now,
if the Internet has deemed a bad haircut, which it
absolutely was, calling a spade a spade, that's on.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
That's not on that poor girl. That's on the hairdresser.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
We should do it for the show. We should send
you to this hairdresser and just see what she comes
up with.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Everything you can go.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, my hair is receding on the side.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
She can do what it'll probably make it better.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Don't care, right, Have a great day, have a great
good have a.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Very merry Christmas. Guys, thanks for listening to us, tuning in.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Apparently we're back next year as well.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That's outrageous.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Made it through killing season.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Hold, look at us going
Speaker 3 (24:10):
All right, Have a good Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
My Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, sir, I'm talking. Let's go. Let's good morning that
remains to be seen Chris Page and Amy Girard in
the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Good morning everyone. Happy Sunday, Amy Gerard.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Happy Sunday.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
You look exhausted because you're a mom at school holidays
and it's forced Lee still soundday.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah, I'm shaddered, truth be told. Yeah, you know you're good.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I'm sweet. I love Christmas.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
You actually look well rested.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, yeah, because you've probably done the beam minimum.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Look, my wife's been running around acting like I've just
got to organize all this stuff, acting.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Like so's just putting it on. Have you.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We've got the Christmas tree up though, and I know
you do as well. Have you got the presence under
the tree yet or do you?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
No? I started doing some rapping, like the schmuck that
I am. I have all these ideas of like doing
each kid's presence, you know, one night during the week,
and then I'd never do any of it, and then
I frantically panic wrap on Christmas, even stay up till
all hours of the morning. But I wrapped three presents,
one for each of my kids, and I put them
under the tree and they said, no, we don't want
(01:33):
Christmas presents under the tree.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I think what they like is they like coming down
on Christmas Morning to a.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Tree that originally had nothing under it, to then all
of the Christmas I think it's just more of the
wow factor.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Right, So it's not just Santa's presents that have been
added overnight. It's like everything.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Appears, everything appears, and it just looks more wow.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I've got another theory that I think they don't want
presents that fit under the tree. They're like an e
bike that doesn't fit under the tree, so I don't
want it.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
They're never getting one of them either. Have you wrapped
any presents? Sorry, that's that's a trick question.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm ordered, George, we delivered? I don't know. I did
see a video on the Insta though, and they showed
how they wrap presence in Japan. Oh well, I don't
know about every person in Japan, but I think it
was actually one of the fancy department stores. But the Japanese,
you know how efficient they are. He wraps this present
and he has to his one bit of sticky tape
(02:29):
and it's literally this box in the middle. I mean,
it's easier if it's a square box, right, there's pleasure
to wrap. But he does all the origami styles, folding
around it perfectly, neat, and then the final four goes
over the top and just one little bit of tape.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I feel like that would be quite enjoyable to watch.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It is sort of soothing to you. It's like one
of those Yeah, it's like an open fireplace TV channel.
It's just like, yeah, I could watch that all day.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I could just share it.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
This is Chris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know, Christmas is a time of joy, giving, happiness, positivity, forgiveness.
Can we bring some hate into Christmas?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Just?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh gosh, but you can't love everything about Christmas?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And you know, and I've got some I've got some dislikes.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I want to know what you hate about Christmas? Christmasing?
Yeah that Everything about You by Ugly Kid Joe. Okay,
check it out.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It sounds depressing.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What do you hate about Christmas?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
The Elf? I don't like the elf.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
It's just an added layer of unnecessary stress for mums.
So much so that I have well and truly relinquished
all responsibility of it, and my husband had no other
choice about to step up.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So your husband's working with the elf this year, and
but you're still cleaning up after him.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Yes, I am.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's exactly what's up to this year.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
He's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I found him in the fridge this morning, Yeah, wrapped
in some ham.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
He doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, he made himself some sort of turkey, poor cheddar
roll or I don't know what he was trying to be.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Don't love the elf.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I really don't like Christmas pudding that belongs in the bin,
in the garbage.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I will hear nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
No, no, I don't. I think any type of fruit
and biscuit and cake can piss off. Yeah, just stay
away from each other, fru It's fine.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
What else I use?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Soaked in brandy?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, also, Chad, what my mum and dad used to
make me do. My mom is quite religious and she's
you know, English, and always what she would do to
us as children is she would let us get up.
We would open our stockings from the end of the bed,
and then there'd be all these presents under the Christmas
tree and she'd say, nah, ah, you've got to go
to church and understand the real meaning of Christmas, and
(04:49):
she would.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Hold us and our press.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
She would hold our presents at ransom, so we would
have to go to church in our Sunday best.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well it's you look back at that and it's nice
and going to church. It is all well and good,
but you would understand how little kids on Christmas flying.
That's a bit of a kill joy, isn't it. It
was a huge Thanks Jesus, give me the bike.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
What about you? You got any dislikes?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, the paper hats in the bond bond because I've
got a big head.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Oh yours doesn't fit around no split.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, like normal sized things don't fit on my head.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
So you essentially need to and then sticky tape the
edges of them.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I can't have ever gone to that much trouble.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, I know the bonbond's their crap as well.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I hate the jokes. If I told you our family,
we get in early. Me and my dad are usually
in charge of it. Yeah, it's quite intricate. You've got
to undo the bond bond, pull out the crap joke
they've put in, and just slide in your own joke
to be read out at family family much and the
best part is that most of the family are in
on the joke. Okay, but when you have like a
(05:56):
guest who hasn't been to the Page Family Christmas before,
they're quite shocked. Everyone's watching them open and read their
joke and you just see their eyes and you're.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Like, because I'm imagining none of them.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Are PNG is disgusting to be fair.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And also, you know what else is a real bummer
on Christmas Day is if it's not nice weather.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
I feel like a couple of years ago there was
a Christmas Day where it was.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Overcast and drizzly, and that puts a real dampener on
the day.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
It's usually either raining or forty forty. It's one of
the other. Yeah, all right, there's some hate for Christmas fare.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
The rest of it is great.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I love Christmas all positivity from here on in.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This is Crispage, and.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I want to break away from Christmas for a moment.
Let's face it. There can be some fatigue. It's about
a This restaurant's in Sydney, but I'm told a lot
of restaurants right around Australia in the cities are doing
this now and it's gone off on social media because
a customer took exception to the bill that they got.
Underneath the prices and the item and the subtotal at
(07:03):
the end a suggested tip, and which I've seen a
lot before, particularly in America. They do because they do
the mass for you. You get there enough, but the tip
has already been added to the bill. The invoice reads,
a suggested tip is included in the bill, and wait
for the end of this because the very end gets
(07:23):
is the worst bit. Please do not hesitate if you
wish to remove it. Grat SI.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
That is very cheeky, pretentious.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It's an Italian restaurant, obviously, let's not name them.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
M that is Ragusa. It's in Westfield. No, well, I'm
just telling the truth. But I mean, who's gonna go?
I want call the waitress over and go. I want
you to remove that tip.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'll tell you who would my dad.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
My dad would do that out of principle because he
would say, do not like expect that tip. I will
give a tip if I have thought that the service
was immaculate or whatever, or potentially I might want to
tip a specific waiter, a waitress. He is a bit of.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
A like NARKI like that he was a police prosecutor.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
He would do it out of principle, and I don't
feel like anyone is going to ask for that ten
percent to be removed.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm with your dad in principle as well, but I
would not have the balls to do it, to send it,
because she's got to take the bill back and go
and do it, and you'd imagine you doing it, and
I just make sure you've eaten and drunk everything before
they come back with fresh spit in it.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well, it's also a nice way. It's we're in Australia,
We're not in America. People are paid accordingly over here,
and sometimes I tip, maybe not ten percent, but I
will always leave.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Something higher than the bill. But if I've gone to a.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Restaurant where I have been completely blanked and I've had
to spend a good ten to fifteen minutes trying to
flag down a waiter and.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
You ordered on a QR code as well.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Or something like that, yeah, why would I tip them?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You made a point as well where I like your
dad's point on this. He might want to tip a
particular if one waiter has been looking after you all
night yes, and they're fantastic. I don't want to chuck
ten percent in the pool. That's right for all of them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But I actually don't know if it works differently now.
I don't know if at a restaurant you're allowed to
take a personal tip, are you?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
They haven't banned that yet, have they.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I actually think that tips are collective. I could be
totally wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Sort of takes away the incentive for the waiter to
really put in that little bit extra. Doesn't it go? Well?
Someone else them?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah? The way? Yeah, do a better job than me.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
This feels like a real old man rave like I mean,
I mean, I feel like a grumpy old man doing
it like me and your dad should do a talkback show.
You should and we give us a call. Yeah, what's
grinding your gears this week? Yeah? I hate menus on blackboards.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I hate self service checkouts. I want to talk to
a real human being.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Why don't they take cash anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I like this show?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
All right? Should I just see myself out and send
big ber?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Now we'll go over to the Amy. This is Chris
Page and Amy to ride when we want to know
what the mums of Australia are dealing with we go
inside that secret society for the latest good oil. It's
the Facebook mums group.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
All right, hi mums.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I'm brutally honest with my kids and I refuse to
lie to them. So this year, when the Christmas questions started,
I told them the full truth, no sugarcoated stories. I
believe kids deserve honesty, not fairy tales, and that real
life hits hard enough without us setting them up for
disappointment later.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Who is this awful woman?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I genuinely think it's helped them trust me more and
understand the world better. Some of my mum friends reckon,
I'm mean for stealing their childhood and the joy of imagination?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Am I the Grinch? Yes? Does anyone else agree with
my stands?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
No love? Karen?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Her name has got to be Karen. What a miserable
old worm?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Now, And we're not going to go into any details
here about what she might be talking about, so I
think the grown ups can figure that out. But my god,
this is a pretty easy one. Why would you take
to do anything to take joy away from kids at Christmas?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Why would you do anything to ruin that magical chapter
in their life.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
It's not about setting them up for disappointment.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It's about creating such a magical special time in their
childhood years. There's no disappointment as they grow up. It's
just they grow up and they have friends and they
kind of work it all out on their own, and
then they're kind of in on it and they understand.
I for one, was never disappointed.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I know other older kids who are not disappointed.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
If anything, they're in on it with their parents now
and they help create more magic.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
But this woman's acting like she's doing them a favor
and teaching them a life lesson. I mean, when you're
five year years old, believe in enjoy you have got
a long time. You can turn ten and hit puberty
too early because of the hormones in food, and get
bullied on social media, and you can learn about life
when you're ten. Well, I'm just saying, no, life with
(12:24):
you has enough tough lessons down the track.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's exactly right. And life is crappy enough as it is.
As you get older, you learn about the outside world
and you just wish that you were back as a
five year old thinking about the North Pole.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
The Stang awake as long as you possibly can, yes,
to try and catch Santa. I heard Santa one y,
did you heard him creep into my room?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Leave the presence. I pretended to be asleep because obviously
if you're naughty and you're awake, well, Imber, I tricked him.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I remember hearing the reindeers out on the front of
my house. I remember being these big hoofs, and I
remember racing downstairs because we'd always leave out carrots and
milk and apples and whatnot, and they were all half eaten.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
So I was like, wow, I love that. I love
that memory as a kid. Santa was I mean, he
was right there, right there, smelt of whiskey. Oh yeah,
don't slay and drive Santa. Come on, you're going to
visit every house in the world. Come on, take it easy, bad,
that's a simple one. You are a grinch. Never email
(13:30):
here again?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
No, she did an email here.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh yes, it's the Facebook moms group, isn't it. Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
This is Crisp Page and Amy Gerid.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
So you're getting some work done. You've got some men
coming around for some work.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No, I am looking to get some landscaping done. And
I've been getting some quotes, and I have been given
the heads up by some builder friends that landscapers, out
of all the trades, will pull the wool over your
eyes because.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Worse than mechanics, because they have.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
The worst apparently, just because most average work people Joe blows,
they're not across what a tile or a paver, or
like a leveling out of a a backyard is gonna cost.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
What is it Joe blows that don't know it? Or
is it Jane blows?
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It's both because y's a Joe blow. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But would they treat Ryan differently though? Because Ryan's like
a big, manly, hairy guy. He looks like Ryan looks
like someone who goes to Bunnings and knows what a
tile cost. Yeah, well you don't.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I think this is true.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
But also you just have to have a conversation with
Ryan and you realize he's all laptop arms.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
But do you reckon with the quotes? They go even
harder on the little lady.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well, no, And here's the funny thing is just recently
I've had just in the last two weeks, I've had
three quotes.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But in the last two weeks I've had two.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
And there is a two hundred thousand dollars difference between
two of the quotes, and the one who came in
less was quoted by a female.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Two hundred thousand dollars worth the quote or two hundred
thousand dollars difference difference. What are you getting done?
Speaker 4 (15:07):
My whole backyard, lands and my whole front yard.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I'm going to get onto the social stuff. It takes
me two years to earn that. On a second, four tax, Hang.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
On a second. We've been saving up for the last
two three years.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Okay, sorry, and it's not the point of the story anyway. No, okay,
that is a wild variation.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Variation.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
So are you're thinking that the high price is just
taking the piece out of you?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Or are you thinking the low price could come in
and not do such a great job. Have you read
the reviews.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I've read the reviews.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I got the I got one of the quotes, and
it was quite high, and my builder friend said that
seems astronomically high, like I do big houses, you know,
in fancy suburbs, and they don't pay that. So I
had a bit of an inkling. Maybe I was getting
maybe slightly ripped off there.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Oh, it's a wanker attax.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Have you heard, actually what's tax?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
It's when trade's or anyone that can give you a
quote for something, a number that they can pluck out
of their head if they think Wayne is a bit mean.
But if they look at you and go.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
If they personally, I've got the money for it.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You've just renovated your house. See you've got a nice place.
You're rocking up. Going now I want to do the garden.
They're probably going, yeah, maybe chuck a bit of GST
GST on this as well and still get you to
pay cash.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, the saddest thing is if I hadn't done my
diligence and gotten a few quotes, Like I think about
my parents, they're so trustworthy of it, and they would
have got they would have got the local guy, the
trust that the guy that they think that they're doing
a real good thing by going with him, and they
just would have got ripped off.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Other people would do it though, Like I knew a
guy who used to His dentist had a window in
the surgery that looked down into the car park, so
the dentist could see what type of car people were driving.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
So if you're driving turning up in a Mercedes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, so you've got to take your beat up old
he and Ai thirty when you go to the dentist. Yes,
don't rock up in a Bentley or the eight series
BMW because the dentist sees that and goes, yep.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Bump that up. She definitely needs multiple feelings.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Attacks out for it. You should like bogan it up
a bit next time they come around.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Just don't shower legs, hairy.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Coloring a few of your teeth with black tailor done.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
This is Crispage and Amy to ride.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
You're tired, aren't you. I'm so tired for sleeps till Christmas.
And yeah you're you're a busy working mum.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yes, I'm that. December for me is like a brick
to the face. There is just so many things on and.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I know all your work gets busy as well. Right,
It's Christmas time, so everyone wants to do some ads.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Everyone wants to lock in for Black Friday sales. But
all these special deals and sell this and make people
buy this. And I've got my wine. I'm trying to
promote my wine at Last Wine.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Guys. It's a fantastic rose.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Why it is a really good wine. But I think
it's the mental load for me. It's the I as
a woman, as a mother, I am consistently trying to
be one step ahead of the pack. I am trying
to think of all of the kids, all of their presence.
Have I bought each kid the same amount of presents?
(18:18):
Have I bought the school teacher's presence? Have I got
Chartley's dance concert organized. It's also my daughter's birthday. On
Christmas Eve, she had a party. Have I bought her presence?
Have I not bought her enough presence? Because it feels
too close to Christmas and she feels like she's getting spoilt.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But that doesn't feel fair.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
And I feel like you're just swimming in the ocean
and the waves are getting bigger.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
And you just.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Feels like I am trying to sweep the floor at
the ocean and every time I'm sweeping, waves are just piling.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
On top of me and over and over dumping you.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yes, and then you've got your in laws, my parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, and.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
It's just a lot.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I understand you wanting to be that one step ahead, though,
because I was reading I mean, it's a tough financial
It's been a bad year for a lot of families.
It's a shocking percentage of Australians who have less than
five hundred dollars in the bank. For like the dishwasher breaks,
oh yeah, the stuff. For god. I mean, if you
have a dishwasher, you're doing all right. Yeah, I mean
(19:21):
people are doing it really tough. So you want to
be one step ahead. So just one thing could screw
up and you maybe still don't drown. But well, that
stuff all gets on top of you.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
I think as well. Everybody is at the end of
year burnout.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
So everybody's feelings and emotions are just like everyone's teetering
on thin edge. So not only am I trying to
combat all the meltdowns from my kids, I'm trying to
keep my own emotions in check and failing at the
moment to do that. Everybody is emotionally unregulated, tired, sweaty, hot.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I just don't think men will ever understand.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
No, but I can tell you why. And you know
this about me. I wouldn't even normally say this on air,
but you know everything about me, right, Yes, don't save
your mental breakdown for December. Have a few throughout the
year and space them out. So I did March, July,
and October. I think this year yeah yeah yeah. And
if you space your mental breakdowns right then you should
(20:23):
be sweet for Christmas in the school holidays. No look
all respect you. I know how hard you work as
a mum, several jobs. You got that wine at last wine?
You know, guys, buy it well done.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
This is crisp page and.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Fun way to win the show is when we run
to the Instagram comments. It's my new favorite on install
when you see, you know, someone really big, or someone
with a bad hair cut, someone who doesn't seem to like.
Last week it.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Was the guy who discovered the moment I discovered I could.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Sing yeah and knocked out some Benson Boone and the
comments were the comments can be really witty, and the
way Instagram works is right, the most liked comments sort
of rise to the top, so the best ones are
like all.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
There are some funny ones going around. But this week
is the lady with the haircut right.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, and she's a pretty girl, but.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
She is sitting in her car.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I'm sure a lot of people have seen this, and
she has like shoulder what looks like shoulder length hair
and it says something like new haircut for twenty twenty
six or new haircut loading.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
And she puts a hand up on the camera.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yes, and then as she pulls her hand back, she
reveals what has got to be one of the most
atrocious haircuts I've ever seen. And whoever the hairdresser was
has hacked at this poor lady's hair. The cutting, the
way it's layered, everything looks atrocious.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It's like Jim Carrey dumb and dumber at the front
and then turns into this like square mullet it suddenly,
and you.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Just want to reach out and go what have you done?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Well? What has she done? Let's go to the comments
the music.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yes, so I'm going to read out something. You're going
to read out something.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let's go onere you go first? All right? Cool? What
does your hairdresser do for a living?
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Someone wrote? Can I book a disappointment?
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Does she take cancelations?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Did your toddler get time out for this?
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's a little shorter than I'd like, But other than that,
I hated a.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Someone wrote so cute? Which foot did she use?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Good? Why are you smiling? I don't know how that
got pumped up so.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Much hair looks like it was actually cut with a
knife and fork.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Good. This has got to be the best one. What
is your hairdresser's address? I wish to open a large
hat shop across the street.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Did you know your hairdresser hated you before or after
this haircut?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Well, the story ends. The story's been updated after this
video has gone around the world. Yes, her hairdresser does
hate her. This poor girl has had to do another
video with an update saying I now need a new
hairdresser because the old hairdresser who got hammered in the
comments that we've just read won't see her anymore.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, but sorry, that's on her. No, she's done a
body ass haircut. This lady was actually sharing it on
socials thinking that she looked good and probably felt good. Now,
if the Internet has deemed a bad haircut, which it
absolutely was, calling a spade a spade, that's on.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
That's not on that poor girl. That's on the hairdresser.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
We should do it for the show. We should send
you to this hairdresser and just see what she comes
up with.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Everything you can go.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, my hair is receding on the side.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
She can do what it'll probably make it better.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Don't care, right, Have a great day, have a great
good have a.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Very merry Christmas. Guys, thanks for listening to us, tuning in.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Apparently we're back next year as well.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That's outrageous.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Made it through killing season.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Hold, look at us going
Speaker 3 (24:10):
All right, Have a good Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
