Speaker 2 (00:23):
Chris Page and Amy Gerard in the Morning. Hello and
welcome to the Chris Page and Amy Gerard Podcast. I
love it when your halcyon day movies get a refresh.
Recently they did Scream, They did the new Scream. It
is because you watch Scream as a teenager. Right, what
(00:43):
about Final Destination? Did you watch those? Watch?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Have they just brought one out? Because I feel like
Ryan just put one on the other day and I
was like, turn that off because the kids were still awake.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, Well it just came out in cinemas like today,
So if Ryan put that on, he's into video piracy. Okay.
And was the new one?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Is it the one where they start and it's a
barbecue at the start? Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Is that the new one? It's the trail. The trailer
is they're at the barbecue and yeah, glass goes in
the drink correct bottle rake and you go, oh and
the dread and everything building those movies where yeah, basically
if you haven't seen them, you're destined. Your death is foreseen, yes,
(01:26):
because you were never you know, you just it was
meant to happen, and it's how it happens, and it's
all set up and yeah, the new ones called Bloodlines.
And I think all the people in the movie, their
descendants were meant to have been killed years ago, so
they were never meant to have been born.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh wow, So now death is basically chasing them.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And then death, Death doesn't like it when you mess
with the you know how it's meant to go. Yeah, exactly.
So that's now Bloodline, Final Destination, Bloodlines. And this isn't
an ad. I just saw the trailer went, oh, how
good those movies are back fond memories.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
All right, I'm going to go and see that one.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah. Did you watch the Faculty with Josh Hartnett as
well teacher for all Zombies? What about the Craft with
the Witches?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The Craft?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, the Craft, we need a new Craft. I mean,
I know Hollywood aren't into remaking stuff, but how about.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, they'll put the Craft in and they'll be fairies
instead of witches or something.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'll put this on the record right now. I guarantee
you in the next twelve months, there's going to be
a remake of the Craft. There will, because they're running
out of ideas, all right, podcast Timelessen, you're a great mum, Gerard,
Can I just say that thank you? I don't think
you're much good at anything else, but you are a
great It's the one thing I can't bag about you
(02:45):
is that you are a good mum. So happy Mother's Day,
thank you. What every mum wants is just a bit
of peace and quiet. You can do that, mums. Whack
your headphones in, go to the iHeartRadio app and just
search for kiss Off and it's a radio station that
is just the sweet sound of silence. That's a good gift,
isn't it? Silence for Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It is. I do always struggle with the presence. Can
I give you sort of some things I think are
a good Mother's Day gift? And tell me if I'm
wrong here, because I do always seem to get it wrong. Yeah, okay.
I think women love drink bottles like a nice no no,
not like a Mount Franklin like frank Green is it?
And the Stanley cups? Women like that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Women like that for like a just a gift out
of nowhere, like because a lot of most people carry
a drink bottle everywhere they go.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So you said they like it as a gift out.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Of nowhere, not on Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, aren't they like fifty bucks?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
The price is irrelevant, Chris, there is nothing that's scre
to me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
There's nothing that screams thank you so much for all
that you do for us with a frank green drink bottle. Okay, okay, next.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Brings me to my next one, because it's also a
drinking vessel. A mug like with no but like a
really like Georgie loves tea. So how about a mug
with like World's Best Mum.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah cool. Let me ask you this, how many mugs
have you already got?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She's already got quite a few World's Best Mum mums.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So you're not buying another one?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well no, I mean I feel like you can't say
that too many times? Can you in mug form? Yes
you can?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, it's off the list.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
How about a bottle of wine or vodka or something
for George? Well, actually, she she hates alcohol, Yes she does,
because it ruined.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Our lives and now you ruined it for her.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
We don't have it in the house.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, so that's no.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Actually I'm going to cross that off for every of you. Yeah,
that's no good.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What else?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Okay, like a nice I owe you, like some coupons,
like for like a free cuddle.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know what, I would be okay with that coming
from the kids, But from a grown ass man. We
all know that you're going to give them to Georgie
knowing that she's never cashing in.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, what about if it's not like a nice cuddle
from the kids, What if it's a bit more grown
up you know what I mean, like a you know,
like a free anytime she wants, you know, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'll jump in the sack yea, like George's setting fire
to them. I feel like, no, okay, no lingerie? Now, God,
you're really shit at this. You're buying lingerie for your
twenty three year old girlfriend who's already got that's what
you're buying lingree for. No mum of children wants lingerie,
(05:27):
all the sexy lingree. It feels like you're getting in
a pisiotomy.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
What about all the ads like Victorious Secret. I mean
the ads are like, that's what every woman wants is
no Drea.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What every mum wants is bamboo underwear. They want either
full briefs, but if they do have to go into
a g they want bamboo or cotton underwear. No one
wants like lace or scratchy, silky No, no one's wearing
that crap.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh you said a G string. I was not going
to go tea string, you know, just Stephen.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Georgy is not wearing a tea string. No, I'm not
wearing a T string. No one's wearing TA strings anymore
unless you're early twenties.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, full disclosure. I did ask you during the week
to help me with Georgie because it's Georgie's birthday this
weekend as well, so I'm really stuffed. And I did
ask you for help with the present and you were great,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, why don't you tell the real truth?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Why don't you go a little bit?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You gave me some advice on.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What to get. Yeah, and then what else did you ask?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, you said you were at the shops, yes, and
that there was a good jewelry shop that I should
check out.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I gave you. I gave you three different options. I said,
here are three different stalls which I feel like most
women would be happy with certain things from each store.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And I said, well, you're there anyways.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I was there, so I have thought your wife.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I said, can you just get something and I'll fix
you up? Yeah, because you were there.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I hope you're listening. Georgie.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
She loved it, she really did. You did well. She
won't love it as much as she's listening now.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Wow, it's really nice.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You're welcome, Georgie.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Good you're there anyway, Amy maximum thirty dollars. Just you
head it out of the park. Thank you friends. Happy
Mother's Day everyone, and this Mother's Day, we're giving you
the gift mum that every mom wants, and that's a
bit of peace and quiet, sweet silence. You won't have
to hear mummy, mummy. You can just go to the
(07:19):
iHeartRadio app and search kiss Off and it's the radio
station for mum. That is just sweet sweet silence, if
you want to check it out. Chris Page and Amy Gerard.
In the morning here though, and Girard, there's a new
fad that has people queuing up at three o'clock in
the morning to buy at the stores. It's called a labooboo.
Have you heard of that?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It sounds like that's a nickname for something a laboo boo.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, what is a laboubu?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
A botched vaggio plus no a. It's a furry plushy
featuring a bizarre grin and sharp chin. It's a little
key chain plushy. Rihanna's got it, Dua Lip has got it.
So now everyone in Australia wants it. There's a photo
with these people queuing up. This photo was taken in Australia. Yeah,
these people are queuing up at three o'clock in the
(08:04):
morning to get this thing. Designed by a Hong Kong
born artist Ki Sing Lung. It's sold by the Chinese
toy company. A Chinese toy company.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Who would have thought, you know what, it's probably K
pop related and it's wild, right, yeah, the K pop
fan crew base whatever. There, it's a it's a thing
constantly trending.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's a thirty two dollars key chain version of the
doll and Yeah, three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean I would line up in a queue to
touch Tom Hardy's. That's about it. That's where I draw
the line. Anything else I'm not getting out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You've never queued up for anything ever? No, no, oh, yeah. Okay, No, no,
you're not a loser. No, you're a hot blonde. So
my looks have nothing to do with walk to the
front of the queue. That's your life, just walking to
the front of the queue.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think it's for people who are really impatient, like
I know, remember people used to line up and sleep
on the street to get the new iPhone, the.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Early adopters who want to have the yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, like who cares that you've got the new iPhone
a week before anyone else?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, as an adult, I agree with you now, But
as a kid, I must admit I was a liner
up er.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Art did you? What do you line up for?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Only cool stuff?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Though?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Like when they need to judge that when the new
Donkey Kong game came out for Super Nintendo.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Just sleep out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I never Well, no, I wasn't. I was a kid,
so I wasn't allowed to, but I'd be there, like
first thing in the morning, like waiting outside because it
would sell out. There was a limited number of things
back in the day, and you had to get the
new Donkey Kong for Super s because otherwise what are
you going to talk about with your friends?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I mean I would just wait for somebody else to
buy it and use their donkey.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeh see this is the hot blonde thing again someone else.
This is like why you don't buy drinks? This nk
you do not.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I would never give up my quality, beauty sleep to
line up for anything. It doesn't I don't know. I've
never been that person. People used to concert tickets. I
know people do it for concert ticket.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well not anymore they don't, but they used to. Let
you see people camping outside the ticker tech office in
the city when like Michael Jackson was coming out, there'd
be a row of people in sleeping bags that look
like hobos waiting for the ticket tech office to open.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Actually, you know what I did do, except I didn't
get the tickets. I waited in a ticket tech que
once for three and a half hours for Drake tickets.
And then I just waited and waited and waited like
a peasant in the corner. And then I finally got
in and it gives you like a five minute window
to buy tickets. But I was trying to buy tickets
for three people, and I was like this section this no,
(10:31):
couldn't buy And then I wait book.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Drake, Drake, you want a computer in this story? Yeah,
that's not a cue. I'm talking about going to a
shop and queuing up. That's clicking fresh is not cue.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I was waiting. That's the same thing I was. I
was waiting in the comfort of my own home as
opposed to waiting on a street.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Now everyone does that now. If I want a Donkey
Kong for Super Nintendo, I just got an Amazon and
it's either there it isn't.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Get everything like at the drop of the hat.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Now, No, this is the old school waiting though, got
to queue up and get pneumonia. Because you want to
see Michael Jackson at the football stadium, sure right, it's
the La Boo Boo if you want to check it out. Everyone.
Ryan's obviously done something because this segment's back style lines.
(11:28):
All right, what's what's he done?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Obviously we've got a no balls in the house policy.
I feel like that's just straight out common sense.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, but how old are your boys? Same as five
and seven? Yeah, so same as mine. Good luck enforcing that.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well, watch me try, because we've got a newly renovated
house and there's lots of windows and glass doors and
whatnot around the house.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like fifteen hundred dollars stools in.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
The Okay, yeah, yeah, most regretful.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Purchase a white couch.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's not white anyway. I feel like it's just goes
without saying. You don't kick or throw balls in the house.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, Well you've got a backyard, right, we've got a
back if you're a flat yard.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
If you're in a flat a sorry, downstairs, cleaning up
after dinner, I can hear the ball being thrown smashing
against the walls. You remember, they're not brick interior walls.
Like my kid's heel has already gone through one plaster boards.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It goes. I know that sound of a forty year
old house, know that noise.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So I'm walking upstairs. I'm trying not to blow my fuse,
you know, gentle parenting, And what I see is my
fully grown adult manchild of a husband going I go long,
go long, all the way at the end of the corridor,
and he's trying to do like a grid irony NFL, NFL,
Yes they are. And I've taken one look at him
(12:43):
and I'm going, what are you doing? And he goes,
We're just throwing We're not kicking the ball. I said,
how does that make it any different?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Did he think the rule was no kicking balls?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
He knows the rule is no throwing, or the rule
is no balls being thrown in the house. Period.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You just said throwing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Just no balls, period, period, period.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm guessing it's even worse around there as well. I'm
guessing a lot of balls get kicked around.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Then he goes to me, oh, okay, mum said no
balls in the house. Like instantly, I'm the bad cop,
right and I'm like the fun Police. And then he goes,
come on, boys, come on, let's go and read a book.
And he thinks I can't see him, but he's winking
at the boy, and so yeah, let's go read a book.
And then he goes into Bobby's room, my middle child,
and he shuts the door and next minute I can
(13:31):
hear the ball hitting the wall, like he's taken them
into the room to throw the ball like that. Mother.
I won't say it beeps.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We're not Kyle and Jackie O. They get they get
the fancy sense of beef. We just do our own.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
We're the peasants here. We have to beep ourselves. Yeah,
so that's classic Ryan behavior. I have to come in
always just ruining everyone's fun because otherwise a ball's going
to go through the window.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Was the ball clean? I mean, it's not going to
leave marks on the wall if the ball's clean.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It wasn't clean. It was old, it was very blown up.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Was it raining outside?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It was raining outside. Thanks for trying to look for Ryan.
I'm going to allow balls in your house if it's.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Raining, Like if it's school holidays and it's raining all day,
I'll let Henry hit his handball against the wall.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, then then you can go into the garage.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And balls must be clean at all times.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I mean, that's irrelevant to me, no, I know, yeah, okay, you.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Don't mind it. Do you like dimpled balls like I mean,
like like golf? Do you play golf? Do you like
the dimpled ones or balls with stitches down the middle
like baseball.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I actually don't like any balls in my house period.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Tennis, furry ones, tennis. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
What's going on here.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Let's let's just end the show, you know what. Thank God,
here's a good time to tell you mums that you
can have some silence and you don't have to hear
us talking about balls. You can go to iHeartRadio and
just search for kiss Off and it's a radio station
just for you for Mother's Day. The sweet sound of silence,
So get your headphones on and enjoy that. Mums. Happy
(15:08):
Mother's Day, Amy, Thank you Christopher. If you're out there
and you haven't got your mum a gift yet, the
movie ticket's always a good last minute go to Mums
Love Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning in Cinemas
May seventeen. We've got some freebies to give away on
the show today as well.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Just make sure you give it to your mum and
then don't go with her. Just give us some free time.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
It is the time of the week. We're gonna have
a look at what you gals have been gabbing about,
particularly you mums in the Facebook mums group this week.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups? Now
I'm going to read this out. I swear I didn't
write it can relate every single year. Guess who gives
the kids the money to buy me a Mother's Day
gift from the school? Stare me? Guess who reminds them
to actually do it me again? Guess who organizes the
lunch dinner so the family can celebrate me. You guessed
(15:52):
it still me? Honestly, at this point, I should just
buy myself a card that says thanks for making this
day possible. Love management. Don't even get me started on
the husband. Can't cook, doesn't clean, and somehow manages to
be more high maintenance than all five kids combined. I
swear I do more parenting him than I do them five.
So I ask you, ladies, what the hell should I
do this year? Should I book a hotel room, pretend
(16:14):
I've gone off greed, fake my own abduction. I'm open
to suggestions half joking, but also not big issues.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That sounds tough. So I mean that money that she
has to give the kids for the gift, I mean,
is it on a tree in the backyard that money?
Or well you want to buy?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So with five of them.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Maybe the husbands at work all the time in the bank.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Come out in white night to come and save all
the men. Firstly, the husband sounds like a douche, doesn't cook,
doesn't clean. Five kids would be no easy feet. Here's
the problem with Mother's Day, and this is my take
on it. Women mums in particular, they do so much
worrying all year round they care and love their kids.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That when they try to take one day off, they
know that the wheels are going to fall off.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well. No, it's like there is no possible way on
earth that the appreciation that we are so deserving of
could possibly be crammed into one day.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Right, I agree, But because you are so good all
year round, we're not in practice at because we know, oh,
we don't need to worry about sports uniforms because you've
got it sorted. And then there is this one day
where you go, oh, han, on a second, my wife
doesn't have this sorted because it's Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Here's what I reckon every mom should do. You know what, Yes,
you would probably have to book it yourself, but so
be it. It means you can pick the place that
you want to go to. I would highly recommend booking
a hotel room and taking yourself away for the night
on your own by as many.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do in a hotel room, by yourself.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Whatever you want, Chris, really, whatever you want. We all
know what you would be doing. But women might want
to just take a long bath, read a book, watch
a rom com.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I could do it, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I would take matters into your own hand. This mom,
in particular, I would I would absolutely leave all five
children with the dad if he can't cook, him can't claim.
You know that you're going to come back to a
shit show. But you know what, having twenty four hours off,
you will be feeling refreshed. Your kids will make the effort.
(18:20):
The shitty cards and the late paper mache cards and whatnot,
like they're cute, But what women want is to be
left alone on Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I would love to buy my own presents all ye
round it just hey, go hey, Chris's he's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
You'd go straight to the poker, straight.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
In the pokey. How else am I going to turn
it into five thousand and gambler? Yeah, yeah, never fails.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Good luck mums, and yeah, do whatever makes you happy
and assert yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Big issue. There is a big issue in the Facebook
mums group this week Chris hope your Mother's Day is
going fantastic, Mums.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
So I actually took my father out with me during
the week to a pr event. It's been ages since
I've actually been out in the wild with him. Obviously,
we see him family gatherings and whatnot. Basically, what I
took from this whole scenario. Going out with my dad
made me realize that interaction that we have as human
beings with total strangers seems to have been lost with
(19:18):
our generation. Now, I grew up with my dad and
he's chatty mcchat a lot. He knows every single person
who works at Woolworths. He knows the person who's collecting
seven slices of devon for him. He's congratulating her.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So he's not a self checkout guy. He pays for everything.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
He does not go to self checkout because he wants
to engage with the people who are scanning his shopping.
He calls them by their first name. He tells them
they're doing a great job. And so I got in
this uber with him, and within five seconds of being there,
he's introduced me, Hello, what's your name, Shazib? His name was,
I'm Brad.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Are you making that up?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Shazib? So that my dad's introduced himself, And then for
forty five minutes in there, he has discovered this man's
entire life history, where his family lived, where he's come from,
where his job was, how long he's been an Uber driver?
And that was before he had a drink and It's
just made me realize I don't feel like our generation
(20:16):
make that kind of small talk with strangers anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
No, sad, No one smiles at each other as they
you know, you walk past someone on the street.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, I always did and smile.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay, good on you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Do you talk to your uber drivers?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah? For about like a minute.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Do you want to listen to what my dad's like
in an uber?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
How long have you been doing irving force?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Bab?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Are we talking.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
In general?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
In general general? Almost ten years?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Good on you?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Good on full time? Or brain surgery during the day.
That's completely turned the transportation industry on its center, allerving
compared to the old days when I was like my
daughter's age, bringing up and getting Asil cab around arrest
(21:06):
of George Cab.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, he's still wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
How this be with a bit of shade? What do
you did during the day? A bit of brain surgery? Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Shots fired?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I know that was.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But it's funny because I actually think I put it
up on my social media and I've said it's quite
endearing watching it now. And then all these people came
out of the woodworks and said, oh, you can tell
he was a policeman, and he was because it's it's
he's interrogating him. He's extracting information.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
So, shazim, where were you on it? He was profiling it. Yeah,
well it's a.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Way of extracting information. Apparently apparently it's a police thing. Yeah,
but he's done it our whole life, and it was.
It was quite sweet.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I don't think there's anything that weird about Big B.
I think it is a generation definitely. Yeah, our age. Yeah,
we get in a new but they know where we're going.
Let's get there. I think any like old white guy
they see, they know they're going to get So, how
long you been driving an Uber?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Fort?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
God, it's very different from taxis, isn't it? Do it
on your phone? Don't you do?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You? Do you?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
How long have you been driving? Do you do it
full time? The stock standard ticks off the questions. You
should word up Big B next time he gets in
an Uber. Get him to just ask them something completely
out of left field, like skip the how long you've
been driving an Uber? Just the weirdest possible question straight
to the drive.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Out, like how many wives?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
How many? How many wives have you got? Perfect? Damy,
that's open with that Happy Mother's Day to all the
mums out there. There is a mum that's divided opinion.
Would you believe on social media? Because nothing united people.
There's a video of her that's gone viral. It's a
(22:49):
mum who run a marathon and she's there. It's the
husband filming of the finishing line and she's about to
cross and her the husbands brought her little kids down
and he sort of pushes him out and they run
up to go and give mummy a hug as she's
finishing the marathon, and she basically brushes the kids and
just runs straight through the finish line. And people, some
(23:12):
people are saying, what type of mum just like looks
straight ahead and ignores her kids?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Sorry, what type of dad pushes the kids? Like just
wait for her behind the finish line.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I'm with you as well, because and I would imagine
as a mum, Yes, well I feel it as a dad.
Mums must feel it ten times more when you go,
can't I just have something for me? She's obviously trained
for this marathon, wanted to do it. She's looking at
the finish line. That's right, that her crossing the finishing line,
(23:44):
and the husband's pushing these snotty mummy.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know what if I was like, if it was
me and I was just doing a little run, it
wouldn't be a run for me. It'd be a walk
for some sort of charity and my kids came running up,
Sure I'd stop. But if this woman has been training,
because that's what you do when you've got a.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Marathon to two kilometers.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
She would probably be like timing herself and focused on
trying to do the best she can and get across
that finish line.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's not just her protecting her time crossing the finishing line.
That's her moment, that's right as she crosses that line.
It's a culmination of all of her hard work. Exactly right,
I think, And she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So when you say it's divided the nation, do you
are there people out there saying that she's like a
total oldhearted because she has a piss off.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Because she's ignored the kids. Wow, I'm sure she's a
great mum every other time. Let her have one thing, Let.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Her run her marathon and finish and then she can
cuddle her kids.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
All I want to do is do a pooh without anyone.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
It's a holy rail, right, there. That's all.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I want a peaceful pooh.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'll hang on a second. You would get them all.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The time, peaceful poop Yeah, Why because you're the dad.
Come in, do they or just the conversation through the door.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Ryan gets peaceful pools all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Me, not so much. I just want to pooh.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Happy Mother's Day everyone, Happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Guys.

of the best smums I know, second only to my wife.

By Chris Page and Amy Gerard
I Heart podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Chris Page and Amy Gerard in the Morning. Hello and
welcome to the Chris Page and Amy Gerard Podcast. I
love it when your halcyon day movies get a refresh.
Recently they did Scream, They did the new Scream. It
is because you watch Scream as a teenager. Right, what
(00:43):
about Final Destination? Did you watch those? Watch?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Have they just brought one out? Because I feel like
Ryan just put one on the other day and I
was like, turn that off because the kids were still awake.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, Well it just came out in cinemas like today,
So if Ryan put that on, he's into video piracy. Okay.
And was the new one?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Is it the one where they start and it's a
barbecue at the start? Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Is that the new one? It's the trail. The trailer
is they're at the barbecue and yeah, glass goes in
the drink correct bottle rake and you go, oh and
the dread and everything building those movies where yeah, basically
if you haven't seen them, you're destined. Your death is foreseen, yes,
(01:26):
because you were never you know, you just it was
meant to happen, and it's how it happens, and it's
all set up and yeah, the new ones called Bloodlines.
And I think all the people in the movie, their
descendants were meant to have been killed years ago, so
they were never meant to have been born.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Oh wow, So now death is basically chasing them.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
And then death, Death doesn't like it when you mess
with the you know how it's meant to go. Yeah, exactly.
So that's now Bloodline, Final Destination, Bloodlines. And this isn't
an ad. I just saw the trailer went, oh, how
good those movies are back fond memories.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
All right, I'm going to go and see that one.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah. Did you watch the Faculty with Josh Hartnett as
well teacher for all Zombies? What about the Craft with
the Witches?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The Craft?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, the Craft, we need a new Craft. I mean,
I know Hollywood aren't into remaking stuff, but how about.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, they'll put the Craft in and they'll be fairies
instead of witches or something.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'll put this on the record right now. I guarantee
you in the next twelve months, there's going to be
a remake of the Craft. There will, because they're running
out of ideas, all right, podcast Timelessen, you're a great mum, Gerard,
Can I just say that thank you? I don't think
you're much good at anything else, but you are a
great It's the one thing I can't bag about you
(02:45):
is that you are a good mum. So happy Mother's Day,
thank you. What every mum wants is just a bit
of peace and quiet. You can do that, mums. Whack
your headphones in, go to the iHeartRadio app and just
search for kiss Off and it's a radio station that
is just the sweet sound of silence. That's a good gift,
isn't it? Silence for Mother's Day?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It is. I do always struggle with the presence. Can
I give you sort of some things I think are
a good Mother's Day gift? And tell me if I'm
wrong here, because I do always seem to get it wrong. Yeah, okay.
I think women love drink bottles like a nice no no,
not like a Mount Franklin like frank Green is it?
And the Stanley cups? Women like that.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Women like that for like a just a gift out
of nowhere, like because a lot of most people carry
a drink bottle everywhere they go.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So you said they like it as a gift out.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Of nowhere, not on Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well, aren't they like fifty bucks?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
The price is irrelevant, Chris, there is nothing that's scre
to me.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
There's nothing that screams thank you so much for all
that you do for us with a frank green drink bottle. Okay, okay, next.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Brings me to my next one, because it's also a
drinking vessel. A mug like with no but like a
really like Georgie loves tea. So how about a mug
with like World's Best Mum.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah cool. Let me ask you this, how many mugs
have you already got?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She's already got quite a few World's Best Mum mums.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So you're not buying another one?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well no, I mean I feel like you can't say
that too many times? Can you in mug form? Yes
you can?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, it's off the list.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
How about a bottle of wine or vodka or something
for George? Well, actually, she she hates alcohol, Yes she does,
because it ruined.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Our lives and now you ruined it for her.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
We don't have it in the house.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, so that's no.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Actually I'm going to cross that off for every of you. Yeah,
that's no good.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What else?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Okay, like a nice I owe you, like some coupons,
like for like a free cuddle.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know what, I would be okay with that coming
from the kids, But from a grown ass man. We
all know that you're going to give them to Georgie
knowing that she's never cashing in.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, what about if it's not like a nice cuddle
from the kids, What if it's a bit more grown
up you know what I mean, like a you know,
like a free anytime she wants, you know, okay.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'll jump in the sack yea, like George's setting fire
to them. I feel like, no, okay, no lingerie? Now, God,
you're really shit at this. You're buying lingerie for your
twenty three year old girlfriend who's already got that's what
you're buying lingree for. No mum of children wants lingerie,
(05:27):
all the sexy lingree. It feels like you're getting in
a pisiotomy.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
What about all the ads like Victorious Secret. I mean
the ads are like, that's what every woman wants is
no Drea.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What every mum wants is bamboo underwear. They want either
full briefs, but if they do have to go into
a g they want bamboo or cotton underwear. No one
wants like lace or scratchy, silky No, no one's wearing
that crap.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh you said a G string. I was not going
to go tea string, you know, just Stephen.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Georgy is not wearing a tea string. No, I'm not
wearing a T string. No one's wearing TA strings anymore
unless you're early twenties.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Well, full disclosure. I did ask you during the week
to help me with Georgie because it's Georgie's birthday this
weekend as well, so I'm really stuffed. And I did
ask you for help with the present and you were great,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, why don't you tell the real truth?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
What?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Why don't you go a little bit?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
You gave me some advice on.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What to get. Yeah, and then what else did you ask?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Well, you said you were at the shops, yes, and
that there was a good jewelry shop that I should
check out.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I gave you. I gave you three different options. I said,
here are three different stalls which I feel like most
women would be happy with certain things from each store.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
And I said, well, you're there anyways.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I was there, so I have thought your wife.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I said, can you just get something and I'll fix
you up? Yeah, because you were there.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I hope you're listening. Georgie.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
She loved it, she really did. You did well. She
won't love it as much as she's listening now.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Wow, it's really nice.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You're welcome, Georgie.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Good you're there anyway, Amy maximum thirty dollars. Just you
head it out of the park. Thank you friends. Happy
Mother's Day everyone, and this Mother's Day, we're giving you
the gift mum that every mom wants, and that's a
bit of peace and quiet, sweet silence. You won't have
to hear mummy, mummy. You can just go to the
(07:19):
iHeartRadio app and search kiss Off and it's the radio
station for mum. That is just sweet sweet silence, if
you want to check it out. Chris Page and Amy Gerard.
In the morning here though, and Girard, there's a new
fad that has people queuing up at three o'clock in
the morning to buy at the stores. It's called a labooboo.
Have you heard of that?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I have not.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It sounds like that's a nickname for something a laboo boo.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, what is a laboubu?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
A botched vaggio plus no a. It's a furry plushy
featuring a bizarre grin and sharp chin. It's a little
key chain plushy. Rihanna's got it, Dua Lip has got it.
So now everyone in Australia wants it. There's a photo
with these people queuing up. This photo was taken in Australia. Yeah,
these people are queuing up at three o'clock in the
(08:04):
morning to get this thing. Designed by a Hong Kong
born artist Ki Sing Lung. It's sold by the Chinese
toy company. A Chinese toy company.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Who would have thought, you know what, it's probably K
pop related and it's wild, right, yeah, the K pop
fan crew base whatever. There, it's a it's a thing
constantly trending.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
It's a thirty two dollars key chain version of the
doll and Yeah, three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I mean I would line up in a queue to
touch Tom Hardy's. That's about it. That's where I draw
the line. Anything else I'm not getting out of it.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You've never queued up for anything ever? No, no, oh, yeah. Okay, No, no,
you're not a loser. No, you're a hot blonde. So
my looks have nothing to do with walk to the
front of the queue. That's your life, just walking to
the front of the queue.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I think it's for people who are really impatient, like
I know, remember people used to line up and sleep
on the street to get the new iPhone, the.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Early adopters who want to have the yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah, like who cares that you've got the new iPhone
a week before anyone else?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Okay, as an adult, I agree with you now, But
as a kid, I must admit I was a liner
up er.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Art did you? What do you line up for?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Only cool stuff?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Though?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Like when they need to judge that when the new
Donkey Kong game came out for Super Nintendo.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Just sleep out on the streets.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I never Well, no, I wasn't. I was a kid,
so I wasn't allowed to, but I'd be there, like
first thing in the morning, like waiting outside because it
would sell out. There was a limited number of things
back in the day, and you had to get the
new Donkey Kong for Super s because otherwise what are
you going to talk about with your friends?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I mean I would just wait for somebody else to
buy it and use their donkey.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeh see this is the hot blonde thing again someone else.
This is like why you don't buy drinks? This nk
you do not.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I would never give up my quality, beauty sleep to
line up for anything. It doesn't I don't know. I've
never been that person. People used to concert tickets. I
know people do it for concert ticket.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well not anymore they don't, but they used to. Let
you see people camping outside the ticker tech office in
the city when like Michael Jackson was coming out, there'd
be a row of people in sleeping bags that look
like hobos waiting for the ticket tech office to open.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Actually, you know what I did do, except I didn't
get the tickets. I waited in a ticket tech que
once for three and a half hours for Drake tickets.
And then I just waited and waited and waited like
a peasant in the corner. And then I finally got
in and it gives you like a five minute window
to buy tickets. But I was trying to buy tickets
for three people, and I was like this section this no,
(10:31):
couldn't buy And then I wait book.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Drake, Drake, you want a computer in this story? Yeah,
that's not a cue. I'm talking about going to a
shop and queuing up. That's clicking fresh is not cue.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I was waiting. That's the same thing I was. I
was waiting in the comfort of my own home as
opposed to waiting on a street.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Now everyone does that now. If I want a Donkey
Kong for Super Nintendo, I just got an Amazon and
it's either there it isn't.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Get everything like at the drop of the hat.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Now, No, this is the old school waiting though, got
to queue up and get pneumonia. Because you want to
see Michael Jackson at the football stadium, sure right, it's
the La Boo Boo if you want to check it out. Everyone.
Ryan's obviously done something because this segment's back style lines.
(11:28):
All right, what's what's he done?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Obviously we've got a no balls in the house policy.
I feel like that's just straight out common sense.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, but how old are your boys? Same as five
and seven? Yeah, so same as mine. Good luck enforcing that.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Well, watch me try, because we've got a newly renovated
house and there's lots of windows and glass doors and
whatnot around the house.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like fifteen hundred dollars stools in.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
The Okay, yeah, yeah, most regretful.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Purchase a white couch.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's not white anyway. I feel like it's just goes
without saying. You don't kick or throw balls in the house.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, Well you've got a backyard, right, we've got a
back if you're a flat yard.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
If you're in a flat a sorry, downstairs, cleaning up
after dinner, I can hear the ball being thrown smashing
against the walls. You remember, they're not brick interior walls.
Like my kid's heel has already gone through one plaster boards.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
It goes. I know that sound of a forty year
old house, know that noise.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So I'm walking upstairs. I'm trying not to blow my fuse,
you know, gentle parenting, And what I see is my
fully grown adult manchild of a husband going I go long,
go long, all the way at the end of the corridor,
and he's trying to do like a grid irony NFL, NFL,
Yes they are. And I've taken one look at him
(12:43):
and I'm going, what are you doing? And he goes,
We're just throwing We're not kicking the ball. I said,
how does that make it any different?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Did he think the rule was no kicking balls?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
He knows the rule is no throwing, or the rule
is no balls being thrown in the house. Period.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You just said throwing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Just no balls, period, period, period.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm guessing it's even worse around there as well. I'm
guessing a lot of balls get kicked around.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Then he goes to me, oh, okay, mum said no
balls in the house. Like instantly, I'm the bad cop,
right and I'm like the fun Police. And then he goes,
come on, boys, come on, let's go and read a book.
And he thinks I can't see him, but he's winking
at the boy, and so yeah, let's go read a book.
And then he goes into Bobby's room, my middle child,
and he shuts the door and next minute I can
(13:31):
hear the ball hitting the wall, like he's taken them
into the room to throw the ball like that. Mother.
I won't say it beeps.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We're not Kyle and Jackie O. They get they get
the fancy sense of beef. We just do our own.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
We're the peasants here. We have to beep ourselves. Yeah,
so that's classic Ryan behavior. I have to come in
always just ruining everyone's fun because otherwise a ball's going
to go through the window.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Was the ball clean? I mean, it's not going to
leave marks on the wall if the ball's clean.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It wasn't clean. It was old, it was very blown up.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Was it raining outside?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It was raining outside. Thanks for trying to look for Ryan.
I'm going to allow balls in your house if it's.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Raining, Like if it's school holidays and it's raining all day,
I'll let Henry hit his handball against the wall.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, then then you can go into the garage.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
And balls must be clean at all times.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I mean, that's irrelevant to me, no, I know, yeah, okay, you.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Don't mind it. Do you like dimpled balls like I mean,
like like golf? Do you play golf? Do you like
the dimpled ones or balls with stitches down the middle
like baseball.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I actually don't like any balls in my house period.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Tennis, furry ones, tennis. Nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
What's going on here.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Let's let's just end the show, you know what. Thank God,

can have some silence and you don't have to hear
us talking about balls. You can go to iHeartRadio and

then don't go with her. Just give us some free time.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
It is the time of the week. We're gonna have
a look at what you gals have been gabbing about,
particularly you mums in the Facebook mums group this week.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups? Now
I'm going to read this out. I swear I didn't
write it can relate every single year. Guess who gives
the kids the money to buy me a Mother's Day
gift from the school? Stare me? Guess who reminds them
to actually do it me again? Guess who organizes the
lunch dinner so the family can celebrate me. You guessed
(15:52):
it still me? Honestly, at this point, I should just
buy myself a card that says thanks for making this
day possible. Love management. Don't even get me started on
the husband. Can't cook, doesn't clean, and somehow manages to
be more high maintenance than all five kids combined. I
swear I do more parenting him than I do them five.
So I ask you, ladies, what the hell should I
do this year? Should I book a hotel room, pretend
(16:14):
I've gone off greed, fake my own abduction. I'm open
to suggestions half joking, but also not big issues.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That sounds tough. So I mean that money that she
has to give the kids for the gift, I mean,
is it on a tree in the backyard that money?
Or well you want to buy?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So with five of them.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Maybe the husbands at work all the time in the bank.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Come out in white night to come and save all
the men. Firstly, the husband sounds like a douche, doesn't cook,
doesn't clean. Five kids would be no easy feet. Here's
the problem with Mother's Day, and this is my take
on it. Women mums in particular, they do so much
worrying all year round they care and love their kids.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That when they try to take one day off, they
know that the wheels are going to fall off.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well. No, it's like there is no possible way on
earth that the appreciation that we are so deserving of
could possibly be crammed into one day.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Right, I agree, But because you are so good all
year round, we're not in practice at because we know, oh,
we don't need to worry about sports uniforms because you've
got it sorted. And then there is this one day
where you go, oh, han, on a second, my wife
doesn't have this sorted because it's Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Here's what I reckon every mom should do. You know what, Yes,
you would probably have to book it yourself, but so
be it. It means you can pick the place that
you want to go to. I would highly recommend booking
a hotel room and taking yourself away for the night
on your own by as many.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Do in a hotel room, by yourself.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Whatever you want, Chris, really, whatever you want. We all
know what you would be doing. But women might want
to just take a long bath, read a book, watch
a rom com.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
I could do it, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I would take matters into your own hand. This mom,
in particular, I would I would absolutely leave all five
children with the dad if he can't cook, him can't claim.
You know that you're going to come back to a
shit show. But you know what, having twenty four hours off,
you will be feeling refreshed. Your kids will make the effort.
(18:20):
The shitty cards and the late paper mache cards and whatnot,
like they're cute, But what women want is to be
left alone on Mother's Day.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I would love to buy my own presents all ye
round it just hey, go hey, Chris's he's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
You'd go straight to the poker, straight.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
In the pokey. How else am I going to turn
it into five thousand and gambler? Yeah, yeah, never fails.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Good luck mums, and yeah, do whatever makes you happy
and assert yourself.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Big issue. There is a big issue in the Facebook
mums group this week Chris hope your Mother's Day is
going fantastic, Mums.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
So I actually took my father out with me during
the week to a pr event. It's been ages since
I've actually been out in the wild with him. Obviously,
we see him family gatherings and whatnot. Basically, what I
took from this whole scenario. Going out with my dad
made me realize that interaction that we have as human
beings with total strangers seems to have been lost with
(19:18):
our generation. Now, I grew up with my dad and
he's chatty mcchat a lot. He knows every single person
who works at Woolworths. He knows the person who's collecting
seven slices of devon for him. He's congratulating her.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
So he's not a self checkout guy. He pays for everything.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
He does not go to self checkout because he wants
to engage with the people who are scanning his shopping.
He calls them by their first name. He tells them
they're doing a great job. And so I got in
this uber with him, and within five seconds of being there,
he's introduced me, Hello, what's your name, Shazib? His name was,
I'm Brad.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Are you making that up?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Shazib? So that my dad's introduced himself, And then for
forty five minutes in there, he has discovered this man's
entire life history, where his family lived, where he's come from,
where his job was, how long he's been an Uber driver?
And that was before he had a drink and It's
just made me realize I don't feel like our generation
(20:16):
make that kind of small talk with strangers anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
No, sad, No one smiles at each other as they
you know, you walk past someone on the street.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
No, I always did and smile.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay, good on you.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Do you talk to your uber drivers?
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah? For about like a minute.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Do you want to listen to what my dad's like
in an uber?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
How long have you been doing irving force?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Bab?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Are we talking.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
In general?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
In general general? Almost ten years?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Good on you?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Good on full time? Or brain surgery during the day.
That's completely turned the transportation industry on its center, allerving
compared to the old days when I was like my
daughter's age, bringing up and getting Asil cab around arrest
(21:06):
of George Cab.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, he's still wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
How this be with a bit of shade? What do
you did during the day? A bit of brain surgery? Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Shots fired?
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I know that was.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But it's funny because I actually think I put it
up on my social media and I've said it's quite
endearing watching it now. And then all these people came
out of the woodworks and said, oh, you can tell
he was a policeman, and he was because it's it's
he's interrogating him. He's extracting information.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
So, shazim, where were you on it? He was profiling it. Yeah,
well it's a.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Way of extracting information. Apparently apparently it's a police thing. Yeah,
but he's done it our whole life, and it was.
It was quite sweet.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I don't think there's anything that weird about Big B.
I think it is a generation definitely. Yeah, our age. Yeah,
we get in a new but they know where we're going.
Let's get there. I think any like old white guy
they see, they know they're going to get So, how
long you been driving an Uber?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Fort?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
God, it's very different from taxis, isn't it? Do it
on your phone? Don't you do?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You? Do you?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
How long have you been driving? Do you do it
full time? The stock standard ticks off the questions. You
should word up Big B next time he gets in
an Uber. Get him to just ask them something completely
out of left field, like skip the how long you've
been driving an Uber? Just the weirdest possible question straight
to the drive.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Out, like how many wives?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
How many? How many wives have you got? Perfect? Damy,
that's open with that Happy Mother's Day to all the
mums out there. There is a mum that's divided opinion.
Would you believe on social media? Because nothing united people.
There's a video of her that's gone viral. It's a
(22:49):
mum who run a marathon and she's there. It's the
husband filming of the finishing line and she's about to
cross and her the husbands brought her little kids down
and he sort of pushes him out and they run
up to go and give mummy a hug as she's
finishing the marathon, and she basically brushes the kids and
just runs straight through the finish line. And people, some
(23:12):
people are saying, what type of mum just like looks
straight ahead and ignores her kids?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Sorry, what type of dad pushes the kids? Like just
wait for her behind the finish line.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I'm with you as well, because and I would imagine
as a mum, Yes, well I feel it as a dad.
Mums must feel it ten times more when you go,
can't I just have something for me? She's obviously trained
for this marathon, wanted to do it. She's looking at
the finish line. That's right, that her crossing the finishing line,
(23:44):
and the husband's pushing these snotty mummy.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
You know what if I was like, if it was
me and I was just doing a little run, it
wouldn't be a run for me. It'd be a walk
for some sort of charity and my kids came running up,
Sure I'd stop. But if this woman has been training,
because that's what you do when you've got a.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Marathon to two kilometers.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
She would probably be like timing herself and focused on
trying to do the best she can and get across
that finish line.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's not just her protecting her time crossing the finishing line.
That's her moment, that's right as she crosses that line.
It's a culmination of all of her hard work. Exactly right,
I think, And she doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
So when you say it's divided the nation, do you
are there people out there saying that she's like a
total oldhearted because she has a piss off.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Because she's ignored the kids. Wow, I'm sure she's a
great mum every other time. Let her have one thing, Let.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Her run her marathon and finish and then she can
cuddle her kids.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
All I want to do is do a pooh without anyone.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
It's a holy rail, right, there. That's all.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I want a peaceful pooh.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'll hang on a second. You would get them all.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
The time, peaceful poop Yeah, Why because you're the dad.
Come in, do they or just the conversation through the door.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Ryan gets peaceful pools all the time.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Me, not so much. I just want to pooh.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
All right.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Happy Mother's Day everyone, Happy Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You are amazing and that includes you, Amy Gerard, one
of the best smums I know, second only to my wife.
