November 28, 2025 • 28 mins
It’s another delightfully chaotic Saturday with Chris & Amy, as Amy kicks off the show declaring Robert Irwin “too pretty” before spiralling into nostalgia about Steve Irwin, knock-off fashion labels, and why she refuses to wear anything that says “Beij Fox.” The pair tackle the ethics of Temu and Shein, Christmas shopping panic, and Amy’s Black Friday obsession — including her annual PSA to never shop on December 24 unless you enjoy being “sucker punched” by full-price items.
Then Chris takes Amy “around the world” — from anti-vax dating apps to AI doctors diagnosing patients in two seconds — while Amy critiques Trump’s saliva levels. The chaos continues with the viral Bird Test, where Chris secretly records Amy’s brutally uninterested reaction (“I don’t care for birds”), sparking a full breakdown of whether she and Ryan would survive the experiment.
Later, the pair debut their new segment Nailed It or Failed It, where Amy’s parenting win (her six-year-old suddenly learning to read) is immediately overshadowed by her fail: completely forgetting to feed her children dinner. Chris follows up with his own parenting disaster involving kids, swear words, and trying to explain why some words are so bad they’re worse than the F-bomb.
Short, shambolic, relatable — Classic Chris & Amy.

I Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app. Good morning, my.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Neighbor, Yes, sir, I'm talk. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Let's good morning. That remains to be seen. Chris Page
and Amy Gerard in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Hey, happy Saturday, everyone. Welcome back to you, Amy Gerard,
welcome back to you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Too.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Good to see you, my friend, same to you. Got
to give a shout out to a good Aussie doing
us proud on the world stage. Robbie Irwin.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh, yes, Bobby, Bobby Irwin.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
During the week, he was crowned the winner of Dancing
with the Stars USA.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
The winners and new champions of Dancing with the Stars
are Robert and welcome.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
This morning to you right now.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
My sister said it, fans, thank you for changing my life.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I want to understand why is he doing it in
the US. Why didn't he do Dancing with the Stars
in Australia.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Because he wanted like tens of millions of people watching.
Probably no, he's being over there because they loved the
crocodile Hunter. Of course, see if so much so. Everyone
knows who he is and I'll show you a picture
of him. I know because you're not a huge fan.
He's a bit pretty for you, isn't it. You like it?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, he's I like a bit more rugged, like a
bit more weathered.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But remember Dancing with the Stars Australia. Remember when Tom
the Chippy Tom Williams, yes, ripped the shirt off and
basically made him a star. Well, let me look at
this photo of BOBU and they're on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
This is I mean, he's got a nice rig, but
he's too pretty for me. I can appreciate the good
looks and the what is that a six pack that
looks like I think I got maybe eight? Good for him?
He looks great and what an achievement.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So he's too pretty, I'm too ugly. There's just there's
no pleasing you. Amy the middle ground, No.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
My husband's the middle ground, all right with the dad
Bard Yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Nic shout out to his sister Bindi there though, who
also won Dancing with the Stars USA ten years ago.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I would love to do Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Hint, hint, someone she's available. I mean some of the
people they've had on there. Honestly, yeah, you would be
a walk up. I reckon. Did I ever tell you
I was really lucky to meet Steve owin the Crocodile Hunter.
I actually spent a little bit of time with him
at Australia Zoo way back in the day. And let
me tell you, he's the nicest, most genuine guy. Like
(02:47):
what you saw on TV people like, oh, that must
be an act. He really was like that. I had
a moment with him. We were alone outside on one
of the balconies at Australia Zoo looking out at the
bush and the river, and he goes, oh, I tell
you what, Chris, we are so lucky to live here
in the most beautiful country in the world.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, and no cameras.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, that's what he was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I never thought it was put on. You could tell
that that was him.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But well done, Bobby, Yes done, good, well done, buddy,
Well done.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
We've got Amy's Black Friday Guide for your Christmas shopping
coming up after nine o'clock this morning. But I was
doing some early shopping. Yeah, no, look at me. Yesterday
I was on Temu because that means I know there's
some crap on there, but some good stuff as well.
My wife raised a question that she said, is that
okay to buy that stuff ethically when you look at
(03:47):
the cost of it and go right, if they can
afford to sell that for two dollars, then whoever made
it is not being paid what they should. And my
answer was not everyone can afford to be kind. I
think if you're rolling in cash, then sure go the
ethical option. But I'm just trying to get the kids
some toys for Christmas.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I think that if you know, if everyone earns a
different salary, and some people are doing it a lot
tougher than others, so you have to kind of shop
within your means and what you can afford, and not
everyone can afford to shop it the likes of David
Jones or Myers or something like that. Now I've got
girlfriends who owned fashion labels, some of which are made
in Australia, some of which are made in China, but
(04:30):
they really like kind of Poo Poo Timu and Sheen
and everything like that because it just it is so
cheap and it kind of undercuts every single other brand
company that are out there.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You get what you pay for, though with some of
that cheap stuff, it arrives and it is crap. Oh,
but some of it's all right.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It is funny though, because I did do a little
social experiment. I'd never downloaded the Sheen app and one
of my girlfriends said to me, what you should do
is have a look for some of the kid's clothes
on there, because I said, oh, you know, last year
at Christmas, I bought Charlie all these really nice crocheted
little seed country road outfits that she didn't really like.
(05:10):
They're still in her wardrobe. I'm probably gonna give them
to my niece. But they were reasonably expensive, right, And
so one of my girlfriend said, jump on Sheen.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So they the machine like a tu style.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The tweens love it and you'll click on something and
then once you like a certain colors palette or whatever,
it starts feeding you similar ideas. Anyway, just out of curiosity,
I just started going through and adding in things that
I know my nine year old daughter would like. It
got to about there was about thirty three items in
(05:43):
my cart and it was one hundred and sixty dollars. Now,
I wasn't prepared to go through with it one because
there was a lot of crap in there. But I
can absolutely see how that is financially fantastic for lower
socioeconomic families out there.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
If it's the choice between getting your kids for Christmas
having your kids clothed, then of course she's gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Re did her entire wardrobe. That will cost me under
two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I love the dodgy knockoff brands from like countries where
English is not necessarily the first language and.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
They can't spell it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Charlie, here's a beij Fox jumper for Christmas.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Seat of white Fox. Yeah, that's very cute. It's the
same thing as knockoff bags in Bali.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, her pears don't buy her pears.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I've ever spelt it that.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Don't bring her pears back from.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Handbag. This is crisp page.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And it's so easy to get stuck in our own
bubble down Under in Australia. Isn't it just worried about
all our own things.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It's a nice bubble.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But I want to broaden your horizons, Amy, d know
you don't watch the news, So these segment's where we
go around the world and see what's been happening. Random
country generated here, or a press a button it plays
some music and that lets us know what country we're
going to a news story. So let's kick it off with.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The UK, Yes, giving Royal after the UK.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
This is bad news for drinkers, which may interest you.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Amy and the Royal, I mean the Royal. The English
love a drink.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They do love a point flat pint. Well, this bar
in the UK named Alibi has made a controversial move
to ban solo drinkers after nine o'clock at night. So yeah,
that's that's solo drinker peak time. Nine o'clock in the morning,
(07:46):
now nine pm. They're not letting you in unless you're
meeting people who are already in there, if you're just
stumbling in solo at after nine o'clock. Not that only when,
because he says, in his experience, the solo people going
in other ones that create dramas, act anti social, harassed women.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yes, okay, that makes kind of sense because it's not
very often you would see somebody's sitting at a bar
on their own.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean, obviously it does happen when you.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I've seen it a million times. You yeah, are you
in a mirror? It feels a bit discriminatory though, I mean,
and if you're out on a Friday night after nine
o'clock by yourself. You're probably lonely anyway, and now they're
going get lost. You've got no friends.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
He's given them till nine pm, which I think is acceptable.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
All right, Where are we going next? Italy France? Oh yeah,
there we go. Come on, this is very Parisian in France.
They've launched a website and it's not just based in France,
it's all over Europe. I think you can get it
in America as well. I'm assuming Australia. It's a dating
site that links up people who are unvaccinated.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Oh god, so wow.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
If you never got vaccinated and you're anti that, yeah,
this is how you meet other.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Foil unvaccinated people.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I think the thing is a lot of unvaccinated people
wouldn't be with a vaccinated person because.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There are ideology.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Ideologies don't align.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That's why I think this site is a good idea,
because yes, you go, it's you know, sinking up anti
vax people. But also they're gonna have a lot in common.
They can talk about other moonlandinga who did nine to eleven.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Elon Musk is a lizard exactly they're going to get
on China.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
China.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Okay, doctors in China have been put to the test.
They were given a competition to go up against AI
Oh Medical AI. Four top physicians in China had a
live showdown with AI to diagnose complex gastro intestinal conditions.
The doctors took thirteen minutes. AI delivered results in under
(09:56):
two seconds.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I mean, I feel like that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, But if AI did decide to take over get
rid of people, if we've got them in charge of
the hospitals, they can be like they can tell you.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
AI can help analyze and given an idea of what's
wrong with somebody, but they can't actually operate yet. Well,
you've got the robotic arms and stuff when they go
in through keyhole.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Would you rather have like an AI high tech robot
or like some shaky hand student doctor with a scalpel?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
When I go in for my hysterectomy, it's all done
robotically via just keyhole, so it goes in a little Yeah, anyway,
it is done by robots. Yeah, I actually think it
will be more precise. And Naa, I'm telling you general
intelligence is the terminator is super intelligence.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And then yeah, then we're screwed.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Heard it here first guys.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Last stop on the tour again the USA, and I
see what I mean it does they have a similar
kind of Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just been Thanksgiving in
the US tradition over there is a president spares some
turkeys that doesn't get killed, and he is a turkey
as well. We know one of his main political rivals
(11:14):
is a guy called JB. Pritzer from Chicago. He may
be running against Trusty Party for president in twenty twenty eight.
So Trump was just freestyling at his speech as he
does waffling, mentioned JB. Pritzer, and I think he sort
of kept his usual level of class.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
I had a little bit of a Pritzker joke. I
was going to talk about Pritsker in size. So I'm
not going to tell my Pritzker joke. They have a
very cute little joke. You know. Some speech writer wrote
some joke about his weight. I don't talk about people
being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that
he's a fat slab. I don't mention it. I'd like
(11:52):
to lose a few pounds to.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
By the way.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I don't want to talk about the fact that he's
a fat slob. I mean you just did.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, he's such Even the way he's speaking, you can
hear that he's got lots of saliva.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
In his mouth. He's like old, deteriorating senile.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Turk he's met. He's sounding more like Biden. He's going
down that path.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, this is Cris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
He was very impressed before when our producer Ego was
asking he needed to wring your mum just say Sally
and said, oh, what's your mum's number? And you just
reeled it off straight away because obviously it's for.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
My dad's, my brothers.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But you don't. I talk to you all the time,
but you could hold a gun to my head. I
would have no idea what your phone number is.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I actually don't even have your number saved.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes you do, because you always screen my calls and
don't answer them, so you do have my number?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Saw.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
People always say that, like, people look at my phone
and what you hate that person? Why do you have
their number? I'm like, in case they read I won't answer.
But since iPhones, yeah, you see someone's phone number once,
put it in and never look at it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Again, particularly for men, and I might be stereotyping here,
but my own husband. Let's say something happened to his
phone and he was stuck in another suburb and someone said, oh,
I'll call it, like, let me call your wife for you. Yeah,
he would not be able to give that. He wouldn't
even know the first four digits of my number.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He couldn't pop into a Telstra payphone.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
You'd have no idea.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Whereas I obviously know his off by heart because I
fill out all the forms and he's the emergency contact
or the parent too, and so I have written or
typed out his mobile phone number one thousand times.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah. See, I know my wife's number, but we've been
together since before iPhone. So when I was first ringing Georgie,
it was probably on the Nokia to type in four
one two two. Yeah, okay, what was your home phone
number as a child?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
But you know it nine five four three six one
nine three Yep. That's actually how my dad used to
make me answer the phone?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
What how?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
And I have to answer it and say six one
nine three, Amy.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Speaking, So you don't need to recite the last four
and then state my name.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Your dad was a police prosecutor and you weren't allowed
to watch the Simpsons. I say no more, I'll go.
That turned out.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
What was your home phone number?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Four one three three oh three? Oh well there was
no like first digit. There was only seven digits. So
it's four one three three oh three one.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
What.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, remember when they added the eighth digit at the start. No,
you're three years younger than me, you must remember this.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Maybe mine used to be five four three six one. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Do you know your grandparents?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I know my my dear departed grandmother, Nancy was nine
nine five three three six three nine. Okay, we should
bring her.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
What's Nancy answers?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well, that will terrify her now, all right, I don't
think anyone has a home phone anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Someone old people do.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, sure, okay, okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The number you have called is not connected, thank god.
The number before calling again about Chris, Mum told me
you were dead. Oh that was the other thing that
you have to do. Remember when you have to get
you'd get off the modems on the internet.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
And if someone called boom, you're off the internet.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, I may.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm telling you now, people these days they don't know
how good they've got it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Remember ringing fact numbers as well. On the line, did
you do prank calls as a kid?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes? Who restaurants?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh yeah, did you do think we you connect the
two Chinese restaurants and they end up yelling at each other.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
No, never, but that's quite funny.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That's YouTube, plenty of them. I used to prank all
the teachers. I got suspended from high school for prank
calling teachers.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
And yeah, serious, your parents must be so proud.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yes, anyway, nine nine five three three six three nine,
it's we've retired the number. She's like Michael Jordan, that
number can never be used again. It's her twenty three.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Yeah, she's taking it to she's taken it to the grave.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yes, God bless you, Nancy. We love you and your
phone number.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
All right, this is Chris Page.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
And have you started your Christmas shopping?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Got? No?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Do you even do any of the Christmas shopping?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I'll start thinking about it. The twenty third of decision.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Oh, you're one of those idiots. You're paying full price?
You know that?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Oh the Black Friday sales right now?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
As a heavy consumer of Black Friday sales, it is
incredibly overwhelming. I have received more texts from brands that
some of which I've never even heard of before in
the last week than I have my husband in the
ten years that we've been together.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
It is very, very overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I hate those text messages. I still get them from
like Sunglass Hut because I bought a pair of ray
bands three years ago. Yeah, I've got to stop giving
people my number.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I have done something on my socials which I actually
think is going to be quite helpful for any women listening.
There is an app called ltk, which is kind of
like a shopping app, And what i have done for
my community on socials is I've created shopping edits And
so what that means is I've created edits for gifts
(17:08):
under twenty dollars, gifts under fifty dollars, gifts under one
hundred dollars, festive dressing, so all different types of dresses,
so you're nodding along so bored, and then obviously kids'
Christmas ideas.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You've broken it down into like the greatest hits, right,
so people don't need to go through yes.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And so what I've done is I've gone across all
different platforms, So I've gone into codon on I've gone
into Kmart David Jones Meyer, and I've kind of picked
out what I obviously personal preference, but what I think
is the nicest clothing and what are great gifts under
you know, twenty dollars, forty dollars, fifty blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
All right, So can you give all of our listeners
and me, yes, I am interested, Yes, even like if
I'm glazing over, it's just done. Can you give us
like the two minute radio version of your Black Friday
sales edits?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I would say there are some really fantastic sales on
at Maya for women, especially if you're looking for some
good outfits for the festive season. They've got almost up
to fifty percent off women's wear. David Jones has fantastic sales,
and actually the David Jones website has broken it down
for you in terms of like Christmas gifting and everything
codd and on really fantastic sales.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
They've got up to thirty percent off.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Peter Alexander, get some pajamas if you're really clever, like
one of my best friends, she buys her Christmas pajamas
on Boxing Day for the following year. Of course, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so then it's obviously they're like seventy five percent off.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, sure, because Christmas is over.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
My grandma used to do that with Easter eggs, so
whenever you got her, you'd get those like they were
all white disgusted. The next year round.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Rebel. If you've got a sporty kid, you can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I bought Bobby a shark's jersey from Rebel that was
on sale.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So these are all the Black Friday sales that are
on pretty much for all of November. November's almost done
as well.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Realistically, it's this weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, this weekend is when you've got to go nuts
and go to your big chain stores. I think David
Zones and Maya are going to be your best bet.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So the bigger chains and bigger companies obviously have the
capacity to correct drop prices a lot more this tunny y,
whereas the smaller companies they probably try to a little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But yeah, and I think a lot of like Country Roads,
seed witchery, it's all on sale. But if you go
to David Jones they sell all of those things. Yeah,
so simplify it, go to the big chain places.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I got one for you Amazon because my new tribe.
Oh sorry, I'm not telling you. Have you heard of Amazon?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I have.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's a great website.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Have they had the Prime Day sales?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Is that I think?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, that's their their thing. I got a new nutribuleet
thing sixty percent off.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah wow, that is good.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
See.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It just goes to show if they can give you
sixty percent off, you're just paying an outrageous amount when.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
It's full price.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
This is my point, Like, if you can afford to
take six percent off, I feel like a complete jerk
paying two hundred bucks for the neutrible at the rest.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So don't do what I did in the last couple
of years and go shopping on twenty fourth of December
in a mad rush because you've panic and you have
to panic buy, and then you are paying one hundred
percent full price for everything and you're just getting You're
just getting.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Absolutely sucker punched. Yeah, don't do an Amy.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh that's what that was. A sucker punch like that fist.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah that too?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah cool? All right, there's your Black Friday Guide with
Amy Grard.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
This is Chris Page and Amy gerrid Amy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
There is a big social experiment doing the rounds at
the moment. I was surprised. You obviously hadn't heard of
this experiment.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
If it's on TikTok, that's why. Yeah, too old for TikTok.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's called the bird test. And do you remember before
we were sitting in the studio just before the show
and I said I saw a bird outside.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
I do remember now?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, well, I was recording that we're going to hear
your incredibly callous reaction on.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I was in the middle of sending an email. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well yeah, this is the experiment, explained the bird theory.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
You're supposed to test your partner with it to determine
the strength of your relationship. Here's the gist. If your
partner sees something small and random, like a bird out
side the window and says, babe, look a bird. If
you respond with curiosity or interest, you know, like oh yeah, cool, where.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Then you pass.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
But if you ignore them, you grunt or you say,
and then you fail.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, I mean maybe if you hadn't done it with
a bird and made it more.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's what everyone's starting with. It's the bird test.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Any single person, including my kids or even my mum,
whom I love dearly.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
If my Mum goes, oh, look, Amy, a bird outside.
I don't ignore. Well, I don't care for birds.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
This is how it went with me.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
Oh look a nice bird. O f there was just
a nice, nice bird on the window. Still, you know,
I don't know what type it was?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Are you waiting for me?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Because I can freestyle At the same time, it's because
I've never seen a bird up here.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Ever, Yeah, we're on the seventeenth floor, so I mean
that's it would be more interesting if there was a
bird up this high.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Well, the thing is, I don't know why. I just
I have never seen a bird up here.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All right, do you want to hear what a nice
caring person does when someone talks about a bird. Sure,
Robert Irwin just one dancing with the stars in the US.
He's missed a nice guy. Have a listen to.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
This, Robert. I saw a bird today. What species?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
It was? Like?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Way really pretty? Where was it? It was like a
short It was a cute a cute little short beat.
And where did you see it? Like outside my appartment.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
In a trip?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
What time of day it was in the morning? I
woke up and figure.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Out what species it is? A vocalist?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
No, it was I can't.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
I don't remember the picture.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
It was kind of like a dove, but not really
a dough.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I have a bird book with me.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yeah, we can go through.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It, and we can go through it.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
That's really cool. Hey, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
I'm gonna call bullshit on that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He's showing an interest.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Obviously knows the trend. No one on earth is asking
that many questions.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Actually, I don't know that. I want to do a
radio show with someone who asks was the bird vocalizing?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
That sounds like my That sounds like my six year
old just peppering me with questions.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Mum.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
How many days till Christmas? Mum? How many days of
the weekend?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
What did the bird look like?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
My birthday? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, you're right. Actually, that's a stupid test anyway. The
guy who initiated it reckons it really accurately predicts divorce.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay, here's here's where it's flawed. If you and I
were sitting here and I was giving you my full
attention and you said, oh, there's a bird out the window,
I would probably turn around and go, oh where. But
when you're trying to get my attention, when I'm in
the middle of doing something.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
If you loved me, you would drop whatever you were doing.
I disagree, and we're colleagues, so that's right. You don't
have to love me. But will you give your husband
and Ryan the bird test?
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Can you do the bird test on Ryan?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm secretly filming.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I already know that guy doesn't even answer my phone calls.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
I'm his wife.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He doesn't answer my phone calls. He ain't paying me attention.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
When I go, oh, look at.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Bird, I know exactly what's going to happen with your
flatulent husband. You'll be like, oh, look a bird. He'll
just cock his leg and go bid. That's what I
think of your bird.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
No, he literally won't reply.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I'll test him.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Bring it in tomorrow for that, okay, and we'll see
if you two are going to get divorced on Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
This is Cris Page and Amy Jerid right now, let's
get excited.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Nailed it or failed it?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It's a new segment. Amy. It's just about taking a
look back at the week and seeing what we've done
as human beings and what we've nailed and what we've failed.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah, just doing some reflecting.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, so we'll give ourselves a little pat on the back,
but then go oh, I stuffed this up as well. Yeah,
any wins this week.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I mean, I'll try and keep it PG.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So first week, my youngest, my six year old, we've
we've made it all the way to the end of
the year, and I did have mannaay.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I had some concerns around his reading.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We were still sounding out words but not being able
to say them. And then I swear to God, in
the last week, it's like everything has just clicked into
place and he's often reading and that's as a parent,
that's kind of like a nice reassuring thing.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I know, everyone does everything in their own time.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But yeah, we're a whole year to schooling, and there
was not a lot of comprehension around talking of being
able to speak.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Because kids, when they speak, they sort of mimic whatever
they hear all the time. So I was like, being
around you have any of your kids just developed a slur?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
I don't slur the red line. So that's my wind.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Okay, what'd you fail at this week? You had any
big face plants?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I had a bit of a fail last night.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Actually, I was lying in bed and I had netball
on at seven forty five and Ryan got home at
about seven, and normally my kids are almost getting ready
for bed at seven o'clock. I said, all right, kids,
come upstairs, get in the shower. And then Ryan goes, oh,
what do you feed them for dinner? And I said,
oh shit, I haven't made them dinner.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I had not made I just full blown had not
made them dinner. I'd fed them afternoon tea and they
just snack demons. So they eat me out of house
and home. Sure, but it's so bizarre because I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I'm so aware of dinner.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Because it's my most hated time of the day, cooking
dinner for my kids, and yet I just forgot, and
it was bliss. So maybe I'll forget more often.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Because you usually got a netball basically on an empty
stomach and then smashed the.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
On the way home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
You're right, you've done sport.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
That's exactly right. What's your fail?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
My fail is all right. I had a parenting fail.
I just didn't know what to say at this and
I felt like I let myself down because I had
Henry and Oscar, my two boys in the car, some
other kids from school as well, and they were going,
you know, they're obsessed with swearing at that age. My
kids are six and they won't doing in front of me.
They're like, oh, what if I said the S word?
(27:22):
Or do you use the S word? What about the
F word? And I basically say to them, look, there
is a time and a place for every word, like, yes,
if you want to go and swear around your friends,
as long as it's no grown ups here at whatever.
And they're like, oh, if you crashed the car right now,
would you say the F word? I'm like, yeah, probably,
and that multiple times. Yeah, and that is sort of
the time for appropriate. Then Henry throws me this one,
(27:44):
what about the N word? And I mean I'd not
considered this. I mean, I know they learned swear words,
but then there's those next level words like that's a
I sort of said, mate, do you know what that is?
And he said no, but I just know it's a
bad way. Well, it's like maybe if you drop that
at school, that's like a meeting.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And there's a few other words like that. The words
that were all the rage when we were at school,
but now you know, the homophobic slurs, the sort of
words that are worse than swearing. What do you tell
kids about that?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I just say you make sure you never say those words.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Parenting Advice one oh one.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Anyway, Henry, I am taking away all your Kendrick Lamar records.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Yes, exactly enough for you,
I Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app. Good morning, my.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Neighbor, Yes, sir, I'm talk. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Let's good morning. That remains to be seen. Chris Page
and Amy Gerard in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Hey, happy Saturday, everyone. Welcome back to you, Amy Gerard,
welcome back to you.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Too.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Good to see you, my friend, same to you. Got
to give a shout out to a good Aussie doing
us proud on the world stage. Robbie Irwin.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Oh, yes, Bobby, Bobby Irwin.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
During the week, he was crowned the winner of Dancing
with the Stars USA.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
The winners and new champions of Dancing with the Stars
are Robert and welcome.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
This morning to you right now.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
My sister said it, fans, thank you for changing my life.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I want to understand why is he doing it in
the US. Why didn't he do Dancing with the Stars
in Australia.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Because he wanted like tens of millions of people watching.
Probably no, he's being over there because they loved the
crocodile Hunter. Of course, see if so much so. Everyone
knows who he is and I'll show you a picture
of him. I know because you're not a huge fan.
He's a bit pretty for you, isn't it. You like it?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, he's I like a bit more rugged, like a
bit more weathered.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But remember Dancing with the Stars Australia. Remember when Tom
the Chippy Tom Williams, yes, ripped the shirt off and
basically made him a star. Well, let me look at
this photo of BOBU and they're on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
This is I mean, he's got a nice rig, but
he's too pretty for me. I can appreciate the good
looks and the what is that a six pack that
looks like I think I got maybe eight? Good for him?
He looks great and what an achievement.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So he's too pretty, I'm too ugly. There's just there's
no pleasing you. Amy the middle ground, No.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
My husband's the middle ground, all right with the dad
Bard Yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Nic shout out to his sister Bindi there though, who
also won Dancing with the Stars USA ten years ago.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I would love to do Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Hint, hint, someone she's available. I mean some of the
people they've had on there. Honestly, yeah, you would be
a walk up. I reckon. Did I ever tell you
I was really lucky to meet Steve owin the Crocodile Hunter.
I actually spent a little bit of time with him
at Australia Zoo way back in the day. And let
me tell you, he's the nicest, most genuine guy. Like
(02:47):
what you saw on TV people like, oh, that must
be an act. He really was like that. I had
a moment with him. We were alone outside on one
of the balconies at Australia Zoo looking out at the
bush and the river, and he goes, oh, I tell
you what, Chris, we are so lucky to live here
in the most beautiful country in the world.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, and no cameras.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yes, that's what he was.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I never thought it was put on. You could tell
that that was him.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But well done, Bobby, Yes done, good, well done, buddy,
Well done.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
This is Chris Page and Amy to ride.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
We've got Amy's Black Friday Guide for your Christmas shopping
coming up after nine o'clock this morning. But I was
doing some early shopping. Yeah, no, look at me. Yesterday
I was on Temu because that means I know there's
some crap on there, but some good stuff as well.
My wife raised a question that she said, is that
okay to buy that stuff ethically when you look at
(03:47):
the cost of it and go right, if they can
afford to sell that for two dollars, then whoever made
it is not being paid what they should. And my
answer was not everyone can afford to be kind. I
think if you're rolling in cash, then sure go the
ethical option. But I'm just trying to get the kids
some toys for Christmas.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I think that if you know, if everyone earns a
different salary, and some people are doing it a lot
tougher than others, so you have to kind of shop
within your means and what you can afford, and not
everyone can afford to shop it the likes of David
Jones or Myers or something like that. Now I've got
girlfriends who owned fashion labels, some of which are made
in Australia, some of which are made in China, but
(04:30):
they really like kind of Poo Poo Timu and Sheen
and everything like that because it just it is so
cheap and it kind of undercuts every single other brand
company that are out there.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You get what you pay for, though with some of
that cheap stuff, it arrives and it is crap. Oh,
but some of it's all right.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It is funny though, because I did do a little
social experiment. I'd never downloaded the Sheen app and one
of my girlfriends said to me, what you should do
is have a look for some of the kid's clothes
on there, because I said, oh, you know, last year
at Christmas, I bought Charlie all these really nice crocheted
little seed country road outfits that she didn't really like.
(05:10):
They're still in her wardrobe. I'm probably gonna give them
to my niece. But they were reasonably expensive, right, And
so one of my girlfriend said, jump on Sheen.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So they the machine like a tu style.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The tweens love it and you'll click on something and
then once you like a certain colors palette or whatever,
it starts feeding you similar ideas. Anyway, just out of curiosity,
I just started going through and adding in things that
I know my nine year old daughter would like. It
got to about there was about thirty three items in
(05:43):
my cart and it was one hundred and sixty dollars. Now,
I wasn't prepared to go through with it one because
there was a lot of crap in there. But I
can absolutely see how that is financially fantastic for lower
socioeconomic families out there.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
If it's the choice between getting your kids for Christmas
having your kids clothed, then of course she's gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Re did her entire wardrobe. That will cost me under
two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I love the dodgy knockoff brands from like countries where
English is not necessarily the first language and.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
They can't spell it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Charlie, here's a beij Fox jumper for Christmas.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Seat of white Fox. Yeah, that's very cute. It's the
same thing as knockoff bags in Bali.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, her pears don't buy her pears.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I've ever spelt it that.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Don't bring her pears back from.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Handbag. This is crisp page.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
And it's so easy to get stuck in our own
bubble down Under in Australia. Isn't it just worried about
all our own things.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It's a nice bubble.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But I want to broaden your horizons, Amy, d know
you don't watch the news, So these segment's where we
go around the world and see what's been happening. Random
country generated here, or a press a button it plays
some music and that lets us know what country we're
going to a news story. So let's kick it off with.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
The UK, Yes, giving Royal after the UK.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
This is bad news for drinkers, which may interest you.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Amy and the Royal, I mean the Royal. The English
love a drink.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They do love a point flat pint. Well, this bar
in the UK named Alibi has made a controversial move
to ban solo drinkers after nine o'clock at night. So yeah,
that's that's solo drinker peak time. Nine o'clock in the morning,
(07:46):
now nine pm. They're not letting you in unless you're
meeting people who are already in there, if you're just
stumbling in solo at after nine o'clock. Not that only when,
because he says, in his experience, the solo people going
in other ones that create dramas, act anti social, harassed women.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yes, okay, that makes kind of sense because it's not
very often you would see somebody's sitting at a bar
on their own.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean, obviously it does happen when you.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I've seen it a million times. You yeah, are you
in a mirror? It feels a bit discriminatory though, I mean,
and if you're out on a Friday night after nine
o'clock by yourself. You're probably lonely anyway, and now they're
going get lost. You've got no friends.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
He's given them till nine pm, which I think is acceptable.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
All right, Where are we going next? Italy France? Oh yeah,
there we go. Come on, this is very Parisian in France.
They've launched a website and it's not just based in France,
it's all over Europe. I think you can get it
in America as well. I'm assuming Australia. It's a dating
site that links up people who are unvaccinated.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Oh god, so wow.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
If you never got vaccinated and you're anti that, yeah,
this is how you meet other.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Foil unvaccinated people.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I think the thing is a lot of unvaccinated people
wouldn't be with a vaccinated person because.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There are ideology.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Ideologies don't align.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That's why I think this site is a good idea,
because yes, you go, it's you know, sinking up anti
vax people. But also they're gonna have a lot in common.
They can talk about other moonlandinga who did nine to eleven.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Elon Musk is a lizard exactly they're going to get
on China.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
China.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Okay, doctors in China have been put to the test.
They were given a competition to go up against AI
Oh Medical AI. Four top physicians in China had a
live showdown with AI to diagnose complex gastro intestinal conditions.
The doctors took thirteen minutes. AI delivered results in under
(09:56):
two seconds.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I mean, I feel like that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, But if AI did decide to take over get
rid of people, if we've got them in charge of
the hospitals, they can be like they can tell you.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
AI can help analyze and given an idea of what's
wrong with somebody, but they can't actually operate yet. Well,
you've got the robotic arms and stuff when they go
in through keyhole.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Would you rather have like an AI high tech robot
or like some shaky hand student doctor with a scalpel?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
When I go in for my hysterectomy, it's all done
robotically via just keyhole, so it goes in a little Yeah, anyway,
it is done by robots. Yeah, I actually think it
will be more precise. And Naa, I'm telling you general
intelligence is the terminator is super intelligence.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
And then yeah, then we're screwed.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Heard it here first guys.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Last stop on the tour again the USA, and I
see what I mean it does they have a similar
kind of Yeah, I'm sorry, it's just been Thanksgiving in
the US tradition over there is a president spares some
turkeys that doesn't get killed, and he is a turkey
as well. We know one of his main political rivals
(11:14):
is a guy called JB. Pritzer from Chicago. He may
be running against Trusty Party for president in twenty twenty eight.
So Trump was just freestyling at his speech as he
does waffling, mentioned JB. Pritzer, and I think he sort
of kept his usual level of class.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
I had a little bit of a Pritzker joke. I
was going to talk about Pritsker in size. So I'm
not going to tell my Pritzker joke. They have a
very cute little joke. You know. Some speech writer wrote
some joke about his weight. I don't talk about people
being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that
he's a fat slab. I don't mention it. I'd like
(11:52):
to lose a few pounds to.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
By the way.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
I don't want to talk about the fact that he's
a fat slob. I mean you just did.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, he's such Even the way he's speaking, you can
hear that he's got lots of saliva.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
In his mouth. He's like old, deteriorating senile.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Turk he's met. He's sounding more like Biden. He's going
down that path.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, this is Cris Page and Amy's ride.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
He was very impressed before when our producer Ego was
asking he needed to wring your mum just say Sally
and said, oh, what's your mum's number? And you just
reeled it off straight away because obviously it's for.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
My dad's, my brothers.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But you don't. I talk to you all the time,
but you could hold a gun to my head. I
would have no idea what your phone number is.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I actually don't even have your number saved.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes you do, because you always screen my calls and
don't answer them, so you do have my number?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Saw.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
People always say that, like, people look at my phone
and what you hate that person? Why do you have
their number? I'm like, in case they read I won't answer.
But since iPhones, yeah, you see someone's phone number once,
put it in and never look at it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Again, particularly for men, and I might be stereotyping here,
but my own husband. Let's say something happened to his
phone and he was stuck in another suburb and someone said, oh,
I'll call it, like, let me call your wife for you. Yeah,
he would not be able to give that. He wouldn't
even know the first four digits of my number.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He couldn't pop into a Telstra payphone.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
You'd have no idea.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Whereas I obviously know his off by heart because I
fill out all the forms and he's the emergency contact
or the parent too, and so I have written or
typed out his mobile phone number one thousand times.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah. See, I know my wife's number, but we've been
together since before iPhone. So when I was first ringing Georgie,
it was probably on the Nokia to type in four
one two two. Yeah, okay, what was your home phone
number as a child?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
But you know it nine five four three six one
nine three Yep. That's actually how my dad used to
make me answer the phone?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
What how?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
And I have to answer it and say six one
nine three, Amy.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Speaking, So you don't need to recite the last four
and then state my name.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Your dad was a police prosecutor and you weren't allowed
to watch the Simpsons. I say no more, I'll go.
That turned out.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
What was your home phone number?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Four one three three oh three? Oh well there was
no like first digit. There was only seven digits. So
it's four one three three oh three one.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
What.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, remember when they added the eighth digit at the start. No,
you're three years younger than me, you must remember this.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Maybe mine used to be five four three six one. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Do you know your grandparents?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I know my my dear departed grandmother, Nancy was nine
nine five three three six three nine. Okay, we should
bring her.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
What's Nancy answers?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Well, that will terrify her now, all right, I don't
think anyone has a home phone anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Someone old people do.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, sure, okay, okay, let's go.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
The number you have called is not connected, thank god.
The number before calling again about Chris, Mum told me
you were dead. Oh that was the other thing that
you have to do. Remember when you have to get
you'd get off the modems on the internet.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
And if someone called boom, you're off the internet.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, I may.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I'm telling you now, people these days they don't know
how good they've got it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Remember ringing fact numbers as well. On the line, did
you do prank calls as a kid?
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes? Who restaurants?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Oh yeah, did you do think we you connect the
two Chinese restaurants and they end up yelling at each other.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
No, never, but that's quite funny.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
That's YouTube, plenty of them. I used to prank all
the teachers. I got suspended from high school for prank
calling teachers.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
And yeah, serious, your parents must be so proud.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yes, anyway, nine nine five three three six three nine,
it's we've retired the number. She's like Michael Jordan, that
number can never be used again. It's her twenty three.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Yeah, she's taking it to she's taken it to the grave.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yes, God bless you, Nancy. We love you and your
phone number.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
All right, this is Chris Page.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
And have you started your Christmas shopping?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Got? No?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Do you even do any of the Christmas shopping?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I'll start thinking about it. The twenty third of decision.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Oh, you're one of those idiots. You're paying full price?
You know that?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Oh the Black Friday sales right now?
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
As a heavy consumer of Black Friday sales, it is
incredibly overwhelming. I have received more texts from brands that
some of which I've never even heard of before in
the last week than I have my husband in the
ten years that we've been together.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
It is very, very overwhelming.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I hate those text messages. I still get them from
like Sunglass Hut because I bought a pair of ray
bands three years ago. Yeah, I've got to stop giving
people my number.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I have done something on my socials which I actually
think is going to be quite helpful for any women listening.
There is an app called ltk, which is kind of
like a shopping app, And what i have done for
my community on socials is I've created shopping edits And
so what that means is I've created edits for gifts
(17:08):
under twenty dollars, gifts under fifty dollars, gifts under one
hundred dollars, festive dressing, so all different types of dresses,
so you're nodding along so bored, and then obviously kids'
Christmas ideas.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
You've broken it down into like the greatest hits, right,
so people don't need to go through yes.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
And so what I've done is I've gone across all
different platforms, So I've gone into codon on I've gone
into Kmart David Jones Meyer, and I've kind of picked
out what I obviously personal preference, but what I think
is the nicest clothing and what are great gifts under
you know, twenty dollars, forty dollars, fifty blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
All right, So can you give all of our listeners
and me, yes, I am interested, Yes, even like if
I'm glazing over, it's just done. Can you give us
like the two minute radio version of your Black Friday
sales edits?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I would say there are some really fantastic sales on
at Maya for women, especially if you're looking for some
good outfits for the festive season. They've got almost up
to fifty percent off women's wear. David Jones has fantastic sales,
and actually the David Jones website has broken it down
for you in terms of like Christmas gifting and everything
codd and on really fantastic sales.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
They've got up to thirty percent off.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Peter Alexander, get some pajamas if you're really clever, like
one of my best friends, she buys her Christmas pajamas
on Boxing Day for the following year. Of course, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so then it's obviously they're like seventy five percent off.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, sure, because Christmas is over.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
My grandma used to do that with Easter eggs, so
whenever you got her, you'd get those like they were
all white disgusted. The next year round.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Rebel. If you've got a sporty kid, you can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I bought Bobby a shark's jersey from Rebel that was
on sale.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
So these are all the Black Friday sales that are
on pretty much for all of November. November's almost done
as well.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Realistically, it's this weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, this weekend is when you've got to go nuts
and go to your big chain stores. I think David
Zones and Maya are going to be your best bet.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So the bigger chains and bigger companies obviously have the
capacity to correct drop prices a lot more this tunny y,
whereas the smaller companies they probably try to a little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But yeah, and I think a lot of like Country Roads,
seed witchery, it's all on sale. But if you go
to David Jones they sell all of those things. Yeah,
so simplify it, go to the big chain places.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I got one for you Amazon because my new tribe.
Oh sorry, I'm not telling you. Have you heard of Amazon?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
I have.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's a great website.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Have they had the Prime Day sales?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Is that I think?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, that's their their thing. I got a new nutribuleet
thing sixty percent off.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
Yeah wow, that is good.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
See.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It just goes to show if they can give you
sixty percent off, you're just paying an outrageous amount when.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
It's full price.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
This is my point, Like, if you can afford to
take six percent off, I feel like a complete jerk
paying two hundred bucks for the neutrible at the rest.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So don't do what I did in the last couple
of years and go shopping on twenty fourth of December
in a mad rush because you've panic and you have
to panic buy, and then you are paying one hundred
percent full price for everything and you're just getting You're
just getting.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Absolutely sucker punched. Yeah, don't do an Amy.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Oh that's what that was. A sucker punch like that fist.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah that too?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah cool? All right, there's your Black Friday Guide with
Amy Grard.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
This is Chris Page and Amy gerrid Amy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
There is a big social experiment doing the rounds at
the moment. I was surprised. You obviously hadn't heard of
this experiment.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
If it's on TikTok, that's why. Yeah, too old for TikTok.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's called the bird test. And do you remember before
we were sitting in the studio just before the show
and I said I saw a bird outside.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
I do remember now?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, well, I was recording that we're going to hear
your incredibly callous reaction on.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
I was in the middle of sending an email. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well yeah, this is the experiment, explained the bird theory.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
You're supposed to test your partner with it to determine
the strength of your relationship. Here's the gist. If your
partner sees something small and random, like a bird out
side the window and says, babe, look a bird. If
you respond with curiosity or interest, you know, like oh yeah, cool, where.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Then you pass.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
But if you ignore them, you grunt or you say,
and then you fail.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, I mean maybe if you hadn't done it with
a bird and made it more.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's what everyone's starting with. It's the bird test.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Any single person, including my kids or even my mum,
whom I love dearly.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
If my Mum goes, oh, look, Amy, a bird outside.
I don't ignore. Well, I don't care for birds.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
This is how it went with me.
Speaker 8 (21:49):
Oh look a nice bird. O f there was just
a nice, nice bird on the window. Still, you know,
I don't know what type it was?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Are you waiting for me?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Because I can freestyle At the same time, it's because
I've never seen a bird up here.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Ever, Yeah, we're on the seventeenth floor, so I mean
that's it would be more interesting if there was a
bird up this high.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Well, the thing is, I don't know why. I just
I have never seen a bird up here.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All right, do you want to hear what a nice
caring person does when someone talks about a bird. Sure,
Robert Irwin just one dancing with the stars in the US.
He's missed a nice guy. Have a listen to.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
This, Robert. I saw a bird today. What species?
Speaker 5 (22:36):
It was? Like?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Way really pretty? Where was it? It was like a
short It was a cute a cute little short beat.
And where did you see it? Like outside my appartment.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
In a trip?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
What time of day it was in the morning? I
woke up and figure.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Out what species it is? A vocalist?
Speaker 3 (22:54):
No, it was I can't.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
I don't remember the picture.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
It was kind of like a dove, but not really
a dough.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I have a bird book with me.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Yeah, we can go through.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
It, and we can go through it.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
That's really cool. Hey, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
I'm gonna call bullshit on that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He's showing an interest.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Obviously knows the trend. No one on earth is asking
that many questions.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Actually, I don't know that. I want to do a
radio show with someone who asks was the bird vocalizing?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
That sounds like my That sounds like my six year
old just peppering me with questions.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Mum.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
How many days till Christmas? Mum? How many days of
the weekend?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
What did the bird look like?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
My birthday? Shut up?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, you're right. Actually, that's a stupid test anyway. The
guy who initiated it reckons it really accurately predicts divorce.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Okay, here's here's where it's flawed. If you and I
were sitting here and I was giving you my full
attention and you said, oh, there's a bird out the window,
I would probably turn around and go, oh where. But
when you're trying to get my attention, when I'm in
the middle of doing something.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
If you loved me, you would drop whatever you were doing.
I disagree, and we're colleagues, so that's right. You don't
have to love me. But will you give your husband
and Ryan the bird test?
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Can you do the bird test on Ryan?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm secretly filming.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I already know that guy doesn't even answer my phone calls.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
I'm his wife.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He doesn't answer my phone calls. He ain't paying me attention.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
When I go, oh, look at.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Bird, I know exactly what's going to happen with your
flatulent husband. You'll be like, oh, look a bird. He'll
just cock his leg and go bid. That's what I
think of your bird.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
No, he literally won't reply.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Okay, we'll see.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I'll test him.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Bring it in tomorrow for that, okay, and we'll see
if you two are going to get divorced on Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
This is Cris Page and Amy Jerid right now, let's
get excited.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Nailed it or failed it?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It's a new segment. Amy. It's just about taking a
look back at the week and seeing what we've done
as human beings and what we've nailed and what we've failed.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah, just doing some reflecting.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah, so we'll give ourselves a little pat on the back,
but then go oh, I stuffed this up as well. Yeah,
any wins this week.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
I mean, I'll try and keep it PG.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So first week, my youngest, my six year old, we've
we've made it all the way to the end of
the year, and I did have mannaay.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I had some concerns around his reading.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We were still sounding out words but not being able
to say them. And then I swear to God, in
the last week, it's like everything has just clicked into
place and he's often reading and that's as a parent,
that's kind of like a nice reassuring thing.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
I know, everyone does everything in their own time.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
But yeah, we're a whole year to schooling, and there
was not a lot of comprehension around talking of being
able to speak.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Because kids, when they speak, they sort of mimic whatever
they hear all the time. So I was like, being
around you have any of your kids just developed a slur?
Speaker 5 (25:52):
I don't slur the red line. So that's my wind.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Okay, what'd you fail at this week? You had any
big face plants?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I had a bit of a fail last night.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Actually, I was lying in bed and I had netball
on at seven forty five and Ryan got home at
about seven, and normally my kids are almost getting ready
for bed at seven o'clock. I said, all right, kids,
come upstairs, get in the shower. And then Ryan goes, oh,
what do you feed them for dinner? And I said,
oh shit, I haven't made them dinner.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I had not made I just full blown had not
made them dinner. I'd fed them afternoon tea and they
just snack demons. So they eat me out of house
and home. Sure, but it's so bizarre because I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
I'm so aware of dinner.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Because it's my most hated time of the day, cooking
dinner for my kids, and yet I just forgot, and
it was bliss. So maybe I'll forget more often.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Because you usually got a netball basically on an empty
stomach and then smashed the.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
On the way home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
You're right, you've done sport.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
That's exactly right. What's your fail?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
My fail is all right. I had a parenting fail.
I just didn't know what to say at this and
I felt like I let myself down because I had
Henry and Oscar, my two boys in the car, some
other kids from school as well, and they were going,
you know, they're obsessed with swearing at that age. My
kids are six and they won't doing in front of me.
They're like, oh, what if I said the S word?
(27:22):
Or do you use the S word? What about the
F word? And I basically say to them, look, there
is a time and a place for every word, like, yes,
if you want to go and swear around your friends,
as long as it's no grown ups here at whatever.
And they're like, oh, if you crashed the car right now,
would you say the F word? I'm like, yeah, probably,
and that multiple times. Yeah, and that is sort of
the time for appropriate. Then Henry throws me this one,
(27:44):
what about the N word? And I mean I'd not
considered this. I mean, I know they learned swear words,
but then there's those next level words like that's a
I sort of said, mate, do you know what that is?
And he said no, but I just know it's a
bad way. Well, it's like maybe if you drop that
at school, that's like a meeting.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And there's a few other words like that. The words
that were all the rage when we were at school,
but now you know, the homophobic slurs, the sort of
words that are worse than swearing. What do you tell
kids about that?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I just say you make sure you never say those words.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Parenting Advice one oh one.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Anyway, Henry, I am taking away all your Kendrick Lamar records.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
Yes, exactly enough for you,
