Speaker 1 (00:04):
Yes, sir, let's talk.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's go go.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Good that remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Chris Page and Amy's right, Good morning everyone, Amy, Happy Sunday.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Good morning Page.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well do you know why I'm up at about this morning?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Why?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Because we're still here and there's just so much to
live for and.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
The world is Do you get lucky last night?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
God, no, No. The asteroid, you know, the one I
told you about that could be hitting planet Earth in
twenty thirty two, so in seven years time, yes, which
sounds you hear twenty thirty two and you go, God,
that's like science fiction. That's in the future.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Seven year problem.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, seven years is not that far true? True, our
kids are still kids, and an asteroid could be hitting but.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's not landing in Australia apparently.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So they've done the trajectory of it. This is amazing.
That's seven years away. They can tell where the asteroid's
gonna fly, like along it's sort of along the equator
of Earth, so across Africa that's a danger zone. Then
of course across the Indian Ocean there is all bad.
And then the end of the lines India, it's.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Going to take out Mumbai or something it could.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So Australia like lasers and guns.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yes, so they got to get onto that if it
is anyway. Bottom line, the odds of it hitting have
increased again to what two point six percent sounds that's still.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Pretty low to me.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, Big b would be probably starting to build
a bunker under his house.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So this is your dad. He's a survivalist, is he?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He has been hoarding cans of preservative ridden riddled food
for years and you know in COVID and all of
the toilet paper went missing because it was at my
dad's house on cans of baked beans, cans of corn
like toilet paper, bottles of water.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Was he a boy scout, always be prepared atually?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, he would be ready.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
If an asteroid even came close to Australia, he'd build
a bunker. We could all go down there. We might
live for I don't know, six months or something.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, you say you have to.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Start drinking each other's pea.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And yeah, I mean, I mean gross. But you say
we're a sweet in Australia because it's not going to
hit near us. An asteroid hitting Earth is a global event.
The impact from hitting army. Like the dirt and dust
clouds that go up. We could the whole world be
in darkness for months. It could block out the sun,
and if it lands in the ocean, you get one
(02:36):
hundred meters tsunami.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
There's also the way.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I look at it is that there's also a ninety
seven percent chance that is going to miss us. So
I'm going to stay positive on this one. Yeah, let's
let's start the show on a high.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
All right, we'll probably probably not.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
All totally fine.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Cool ninety seven chance of survival, Chris, is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That time of the weekends, we're gonna go inside that
little secret society. See what your gals have been gathering
about in the mother's Facebook group this week? What's the
big issue in the Facebook mom's groups.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Okay, so this mom has written in Since my divorce,
I've been really exploring in commas myself, and well, let's
just say some toys and objects have become part of
my routine objects.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
But my kids are getting way too curious.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They've discovered a few of my things, and I'm absolutely
horrified to report that one of my toys ended up
in a Barbie dollhouse as a feature of the how
How on earth do you keep these things hidden from
the little busy bees who find anything and everything.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Wow? Big issue? I mean toys and objects.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, the objections through me.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I will tell you just if you are a keen
cook and you're making a salad, do make sure you
get the cucumber out of the fridge about an hour
before you make the salad, because you don't want a
really cold cumber that you want to get it to
room temperature before you make your salad.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Okay, do you use a lot of cucumbers in your salad.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I just don't like a really cold cucumber, so I
get it to room temperature.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I have I have a very nice looking adult toy
that looks like a paperweight. It's made of silicon. It
looks like a paperweight, fits in the palm of your hand.
It's in the shape of a pear. And sometimes it's
in my bedside drawer, and sometimes it's on the top
of my bedside draw And one time I came out
of the shower and I found my three year old
(04:43):
chewing on it like a chew toy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right, now, let's just say, all of all of the
toys in my bedroom and my playhouse are clean.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh you said you put them in the dishwasher, so no,
but they're clean.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But it now has teeth marks in it. It's still
a really accessible and great toy that I've got in
my playhouse, but it does have teeth marks, which is
quite too perfect, kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, because you're blonde. It's the old blonde joke about
chipping your teeth on the.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, I'm a fake blonde. I'm actually intelligent.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I actually dye my hair this color.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I didn't say you were an intelligent.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And then I've got another one which was pink and
fun looking, and it has a little switch and it
does all these little and again, same child, five year
old was rustling through I think it found it out
a Ryan's draw asked me what it was. I said
it was a massage gun, and I said, you know,
give it back to me. Blah blah blah. Two days later,
(05:44):
I found said massage gun outside in our street with
eight kids and they were all sat on the curb
and they were lining up to get a neck massage
with my massage gun, which my five year old had
come brought out and said, oh, who wants a massage?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And he had it on.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I mean there was many different settings and he was
putting it on all of their necks, just giving them
a massage.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, I guess massage gun and that's not a lot,
it's what it's doing. Why was it in Ryan's.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Draw because Ryan sometimes plays with it with me?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Right, sure, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
We're playing in our playroom.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah no, but I was just wondering. I was just checking,
like he never like.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Worry about your room temperature. Cucumbers, Yeah, you're putting them,
what's salad?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'm just saying I'd get upset if I was like
out at work or something and someone was playing with
my toys, you know, by themselves.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I just wouldn't ye.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Go to But you can tell, I Reckon, you'd be
able to tell if someone's been playing with your lego
or something, because you know, it just wouldn't be quite
the way you'd left it. Yeah, I think i'd notice.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, I would notice as well.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Ryan. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Anyway, I don't know where to keep them.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Maybe somewhere up high or yeah, yeah, maybe somewhere the
kids aren't going to find them and chew on them.
And show their friends and rub them on their friends. Maybe, okay,
thirteen one oh sixty five, give us a call. Where
did you find your toy? Obviously somewhere that you didn't
(07:17):
place it, and maybe someone you know, a little younger
has found it.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
One of your kids has moved it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, did you find it? Did it go to Show
and Tell? Maybe did it go to school? Yeah? All
of these ladies getting Mermaid hair vouchers, the hottest and
fastest selling hair tools across the globe. Stephanie is here, Stephanie,
Where did you find it? Steph Hi?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Guys, well, Amy, I'm going to not leave you hanging
out there on your own, please. One. I don't almost
say this is worse. I've got two kids. Ye, My
youngest is eight, and I got a phone call from
the teacher at his school to say that in that
week's Show and Tell he pulled out his favorite toy,
(08:00):
which were marbles on a string.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Those things, they were your marbles on a.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
String obviously has gone through a drawer. I'm not too
sure how, leaving me feeling like, you know, and my
partner the worst parents in the world, obviously not taking
too much care, which they were leaving things. We hadn't
noticed it was gone either, So that was a really
awful conversation.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And you hadn't have to have You hadn't seen him
playing with it around the house or anything.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
He's just gone and gone. This is sick. I'm sure
I'm taking this to show my friends and my teachers.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yep, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So the teacher called you to chat about it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, totally. And look and that's the good you know,
grown up to grown up with your heads up. This
is the situation because yeah, so he's still got it
at that point when the phone call happened.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
By the way, I know what you would have said. Step.
I know you would have gone, sorry, there is Dad's
I don't know anything good on your step. Maria's here
as well, Maria, where did you find it? Maria?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
I wish it was me that founder, But my in
laws were looking after my daughter one weekend and I
get a phone call from my mother in law saying
that she's had to confiscate a toy that my daughter
had brought over with her that was hot pink, and
(09:29):
that she has now got it in her possession and
she will give it back to me or when I
go and pick up my daughter.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's so awkward the mother in law.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And the mother in law doing it like a teacher
as well. It's in my possession and you can have
it back at the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Oh yeah, right, we bring it up every Christmas.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
It's just amazing, great dinner chat.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know what, though, I feel like, was your mother
in law quite funny about it?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Like was she sweet about it?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Was she kind of like fist bumping you as you
came to collect your goods or was she mortified?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
That was the best part about it, because when she
gave it back to me, she's like, I actually have
the same one.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
No, yes, Amy, I want to introduce you to another influencer.
His name's Ben Askins. He's got eight hundred and twenty
seven thousand followers. How many of you got?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Not that many?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay. He's on Chinese Instagram, which is what I call TikTok.
He's very big on there.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
No, I'm not a big TikToker.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No, me neither. I don't have the thing. I don't
want to be Spider of.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The thing is an app anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Ben is like a career counselor coach, guy. He asked
his followers to send in stories of their worst bosses
and what their worst bosses did, and then he reads
them out. It turned into this much bigger thing than
he thought, and now I believe it's how he makes
his bread and butter. Basically, he's got some stories here
from people, and he reads out the text exchanges between
(11:04):
them and their boss. Okay, I'll play you one here.
This is one of someone who thought they had a job.
We're actually just about to start with this boss. It's
Ben Askins reading out the text exchange.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Hi, Kirsty, do you have five minutes to talk? Just
about to jump in the car?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So not really? Is everything?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
No, afraid not. We have made the tough decision to
withdraw the job offer.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I'm sorry about that and obviously wishing nothing but the
best of luck in finding a new position elsewhere. Wait what,
I already left my job and was due to start
next week. The contract is all signed.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What has happened?
Speaker 7 (11:39):
The candidate we originally wanted to take the job has
come back into the pictum. Afraid I appreciate this causes
of some difficulties. We will of course pay you your
one week notice as per your probation bill. I actually
can't believe this. It is so unprofessional. It isn't unprofessional.
We are two candidates for the job, and unfortunately in
(12:00):
the second would you at least write me a reference
explain the situation that I can use in interviews. Let
me check so, as we haven't yet seen you work,
we can't write you in reference. But like I said,
I wish you nothing but the best. Perhaps your last
job will take you back thanks.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For nothing your one week probation one week?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Like surely there has to be some sort of contractual.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I'm sure he sounds brittish. Maybe the laws are different
over there. I don't know. I suppose it's from all
over the world that people are sending in these things.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I guess the other way to look at it is
that she could have started because what you have like
a six week probationary period, and she could have done
one week and then he could have fired her. So
and just like done it that way, basically tried to
make out that she wasn't fit for the job.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It's bad, but it's such a shit.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Go let's check out another one from Ben asking. Let's
let's check out a fun one. This is someone being
asked to work on their day off.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Hey, so we need you to come in two people
out six. Sorry for the late notice. I'm not even
in Townstanine, we talked about this. I'm visiting my grandmother
and she is Alzheimer's. I've had this day booked in
for nearly a month. I understand, but that doesn't change
the situation. We're short stuffed. I'm sure your grandmother will understand.
It's not like she'll even remember you visited anyway. With
a smiley face. Wow, I can't actually believe you really
(13:22):
would write that. I quit, go go sell. I'm finally
a complaint to court. But geez, it was a joke.
Let's just forget about you coming in today. We'll make
you no need to quit or complain. You there, it
was a joke. I really didn't mean to upset you.
Can you pick up your phone?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Wow, I love the backpeddaling. No need to quit or complain,
and don't worry about coming in either, Stay with Nana.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, that's really wrong, Like if that's a boss writing
that message, not okay.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I had the same thought when he goes I'm visiting
my grandmother with Alzheimer's and he goes doring, I'm sure
she'll understand. My first thought was, well, no, she won't understand.
She doesn't understand anything.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Well he could have left it there.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, but they very good. Have you had a shock?
You're self employed for most of your various jobs, so
you're pretty lucky. And we have we're pretty good bosses
here at Kiss.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I will say, now, yeah, I am now since having children,
but obviously before I had a boss, I had bosses.
Never had any interactions like that in a like, no
inappropriateness or real rudeness.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You had shockers.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It doesn't surprise.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
This was probably the worst that I worked on a
TV show for two years. It was a TV show
that would only happen during the football season. So the
season ended and everyone was like, hey, well done, everyone,
see you next year. It wasn't until like next year
when the foot he was about to start back up.
We're actually rang the guy that I've been doing the
show with. And it wasn't his fault. He's a legend,
(14:50):
this guy. And I said, hey, just checking, are we
when are we back on? Are we coming in? We're
doing a planning meeting whatever. He goes I'll just let
me double check, and called me back about ten minutes
later and said, I'm so sorry. They've they've decided there's
budget cuts and things like that. You're you're not a
part of the show.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
So they fired you without firing you, without actually telling.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You tell me. So there was a meeting somewhere at
this wonderful TV station and they decided that I was
cut from the show, and no one went does someone
want to tell him?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Oh? Wow, that's a pretty poor just go poor effort.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Ah dogs, I want to stress again the people I
did the show with group people management, no good. Just
probably tell someone you're sacking them. I mean, I know
it can be awkward, even a text message like these guys.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I have this ongoing rage issue, right it kind of
kicks offs.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, yeah, it's definitely heightened right before my period.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But there are certain things in life, and there's small,
tiny things that wouldn't normally shouldn't have the effect that
they have on me, but they make me irrationally angry.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I think it's part of getting older. I think as
you get older, you learn to deal with life's bigger
issues and bigger themes. But it's those little irritants that really,
as you get a bit older and crankier, really get
under your skin.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Like I jumped in the car this morning, and I
was in a bit of a rush, obviously I had
to get in here early, and I was trying to
yank my seatbelt on, and you know when you yank,
and then I know, my rational brain knows just yeah,
but I'm in a rush, so I'm yanking and and
then smashing myself agin. Yeah, and I know that I
(16:46):
just need to slow down, But that kind of shit
makes me irrationally angry. When I let people in in traffic,
all it takes is a simple two second thanks.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And when people don't do.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
That, I tailed gate them. Yeah Am I allowed to
say that?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't just did I. So let's it's out there.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
About following them home and doing burnouts on their grass, Like, yeah,
I hate rude people, like when they have no manners,
just something that would take up zero percent of their time. Yeah,
when I've just done a nice deed for you.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You know, the people you can get for that when
they don't wave is like if they're running a business,
they'll have the phone number on the car.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Oh, we've spoken about this.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Take a photo of that, and then you just start
messing with their business, ringing up ordering things that they
don't really want.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Is this, Yeah, that's right, and you've ordered gravel to
the front law.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That was another one. You find out where they live
through their business, and you order a ton of gravel, yeah,
to their lawn, and you say, I won't be home,
just leave it on the lawn.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Or you know, like this is all like this is
very handle based, but like for a woman, a lot
of the times I'll reach over for my handbag and
the strap will get caught on like the gearstick or
something like that. Never in my car, Ryan's old car,
He's got an older car. It always gets caught on
the gears stick. Or you're walking fast door and your
cardigan gets caught on the door handle and you just
(18:07):
like you're getting stopped in your tracks and you know
you should just like chill, take a chill pilled, but
I don't. I will reef forward and I'll just rip
it and then I'll rip.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
A hole in my shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You're not a very coordinated person, are you, if you're
having like problems with doorways and things.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I mean just walking I am quite walking through.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
With that clipping the side of it.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
It's the flappy things that are always in my way,
like the flappy handles.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Of Okay, actually, all right, right, a right, I know
one to see. If you know this, what opens?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I will peg one at the wall?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Thank you? Why why do you have to seal a
chopper chop like it's a You.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Got angry just thinking about it?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right, because those bloody chopper chops. The only time you
get them is at the barber when the kids sit
still for their haircut, and I can't. It takes me
ten minutes to open one of them. I get home
and you scissors and chopper chups, pull your head.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I've actually thrown a chopping up and smash it together
against a brick wall.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Engage before.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Honestly, you're a lollipop, get over it. Listerine, do the same, Listerine,
the plastic seal over the top of it. Why it's
mouth wash, Well, you're gonna poison it. I spit it
out anyway you put anything in there.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yah, But if a kid gets it, they do it
for the kids, not the adults.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You know that, right?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well? Why chopper chops?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Then?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I don't know why chopping up.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Obviously, the inventor hates all parents obviously has no children
themselves the worst.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
The two that have come to mind are sort of similar,
and it's both out in the garden, both using a
hose or an extension cord, when they're tangled up and kinked,
and you go and you're trying to untangle it, and
you go through the extension cord. You get it all that,
you laid it all that straight. You get to one
end and you go back. Oh, and it's twisted back
at the other end and it's all looped again. God
(19:54):
damn it. Honestly, this is not good for my blood pressure.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Tension cord, the extension call.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And the hose. I'll buy an expensive hose, the one
that says it doesn't kink, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Really hot days as well? I mean, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
The weather boomert now, but hot days where you're hot
and you can't get any relief.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That pissed me off as well.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
We're on the wrong station. We should be. We should
be doing AM radio. Give us a call. Where do
you hate hot days? Where's by Hernia? Anyway, let's get
out of here. Look, I thank you. That was good
to get it out, get my chest.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Let's said hate like, let's troll the people who created
chopper chops.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, and wave in traffic or die because honestly it
sounds like a little thing, but it's not. We're a
society and that's where it starts, and it sets the tone.
It sets the tone. If you can't wave, you're an
arm second, then we're not a society. We're a society.
Wave in traffic.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Ard.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
So Carl Sandalans has a brain aneurysm.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
And one in his chest as well.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Apparently really yeah, he's got to look after himself. I
believe he's going in a health kick for the operations
and stuff that you have some family experience with aneurysms.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, And to be honest, I actually hope he isn't
listening because mine did not end well. Like my grandpa
had gone on a holiday to Cans with my nan
so we used to call him pop. Sorry, so it
was Nanapop and he was flying home from Cans and
unbeknownst to him he was of the older generation kind
of bury their head in the sand, don't do anything
about any of.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Their health issues that are of course.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Constantly poking being like help me, and had been been
complaining about headaches for a while now, didn't do anything
about it. Went to Cans, flying home, had a brain
aneurysm and it had burst, and basically they drove home
to my mum and dad's house.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So it burst on the plane.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Well that's what they're saying yet.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But there was no sudden He didn't instantly change or.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know if there's a difference between it bursting
and instantly killing you. I don't think it happens like
within a split second. He deteriorated within a couple of hours,
so I think once at first there's like a I'm just.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Spacing They're all different couple of hours.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Correct, But he had basically gotten home, didn't recognize my dad.
My mum and dad clocked it straight away and they said, oh,
something's not right. Disorientated, he was walking into walls. Took
him into hospital.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It looked like a rugby league player from the eighties.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yep, something like that. And then basically by the time
they got to the hospital and he was a really
soft older man, he was so aggressive and he was
trying to fight the nurses and they were all just
trying to help him, and then they basically said, look,
I'm pretty sure there's something something has significantly happened because
(22:59):
he is deteriorating. Blood pressure was dropping, heart rate was dropping,
all of these things and it was a horrible Like
I was living in the UK at the time, but
my dad still talks well, well, he remembers it just
being like an incredibly traumatic way for him to lose
his dad and to see him go.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
It wasn't just because he was so rude to the nurses.
Wasn't they said, you know what, this guy is hard work.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's you making a joke out of my pop dying
in a really traumatic.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Way, just asking the question that hey, there's no hope
for him.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I'm sure they didn't have to turn anything off because
they hadn't hooked him onto anything, right, Okay, so I
think they did give him some sort of pain relief.
But yeah, look, I think it's really great that Kyle
has found these. He's one step ahead of them, which
is absolutely where you want to be with aneurysms wherever
they are in your body, because they can monitor them
(23:56):
and they can take action immediately.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
But if he's listening now, Kyle don't get on the plane.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Anything high pressured, I'd be avoiding.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I know he's listening. He's driving around in the rolls
Royce Phantom.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, I reckon. My money's on him not listening.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But going, hey, how I listen to these two clowns
on the weekend? What they got the done for?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Let's really hope he's not listening now he.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Knows I love him. Okay, and the good news is
I can get Okay, Kyle, come back with us.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Have you got a good news story.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I've got some good news story. My mother also had
a brain aneurysm. She, in a stroke of good luck,
slipped and fell in the bathroom and hit her head
on the sink and so it got taken for a
scan because of that, and in that scan they picked
up the brain aneurysm that they wouldn't have found otherwise.
So she's actually lucky slipped and fell.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
She probably fell because she lost her balance because the
brain aneurysm was there.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
No, the fall was unrelated to that. She was actually
just slipping, but they found it. She went in for
the operation and it is it's the full you know,
cutting of the skull and brain surgery. It's really full on.
But you know what, brain surgeons are pretty smart people
that they're kind of professionals. You don't you don't get
dodgy brain surgeons. You know, if you go for a
(25:09):
bood job, you could go either way.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, people are getting them done in Thailand. Yeah, yeah,
risking fate over there.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
They don't botch a lot of the brain surgeries. They're
sort of the best of them.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Well, you'd want to hope not.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
My mum's fine. It all went great, recovery great, So
there you go.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Does she have to have check ups just out of curiosity?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
She did? I don't know if she still does. To
be honest, I think for a little while you do
the checkups. But yeah, she's one hundred percent. Sweet.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Great news story, Chris, we're gonna chat Maths.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You love Maths.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I can't not talk about it whilst it's on. It
is a favorite TV show of mine. I mean, my
brain is actually rotting as I'm watching it, but I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
It's called brain rot for a reason.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
If somebody said math stands for many Australian flogs.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And it's like it kind of works and neck tattoo.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And neck tattoos. So I want to talk about one
guy in particularly.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
His name is Adrian. He's got a really lovely wife,
a Fena.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
But Adrian is I think he's Greek, and he I
think he was born here.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
But his accent is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Very, very thick, and I myself really struggled to understand
a lot of what he says.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
He probably grew up in a house with Greek parents.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Very heavy accent, but he's
also got this very deep voice.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Anyway, he had he chucked all his toys out of
the cot during the week, had a tantrum, walked off set.
He's there to get married and to find love, but
he's left his wife and he's walked off set because
they didn't include him in a promo video, right, and
they've put all this on the show, put everything on
the show.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
His poor wife is sitting there really upset, going where
have you gone?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Is it his accent the reason they did well on
the promo?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
There's speculation that may be the case. That's that hasn't
come out and said.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, they probably Channel nine probably wouldn't come out. Well,
do foreigners.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
All these people on TikTok have come out and gone, well,
it's obviously because you can't understand him.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
But I don't know, I don't know, but he's.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
He's here him. How does he talk?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Okay, here's a little bit of how he talks.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
A lot of people talk about these subtitles in the comments,
and then everyone on the show messaged me and was like,
what's everyone talking about? We understood you perfectly fine. I
think people need to understand where I'm from in Sydney's
where my accent comes from. I grew up in a
multicultural community and that's just how we talk, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, so that's not just an accent though, that's like
a bit of that's slurring and.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Well, no, it's not too bad. It is.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's sound like that on breakfast radio.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I have bet.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Have you ever dated a foreigner like someone who you
struggled to understand?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
No, no, no, I just I happened to have not
dated a foreigner. I absolutely would.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I've actually dated a few different guys from different backgrounds Russian, Greek, Lebanese,
but they all actually spoke.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Really good English, really easy to understand.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
But I did have a holiday romance once in the
mold Ives. I was there with my family, which makes
this story a little weird. But I met this guy
called Mark. He was from Germany. Germany, Germany, and when
I tell you, could barely speak any English, and so
we had to use hand signals, and we used to.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm guessing there was one main hand signal. That's it's
a beautiful language. German.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Oh it is actually not. Of all the languages, I
find it not attractive at all.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's an angry sounding yeah, like very angry. Ah Arabic
as well, because it has that throaty.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So I don't mind Arabic that can be kind and sexy.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I'm curious about some of these other nationalities there, because
you're reeled off a couple. Okay, well, firstly the German.
What's what's a German like in beds? The Germans? Germans
are coming?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
He yes, it was a ten day holiday romance. And
he was a very generous lover.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Was he efficient?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
He was efficient, He was wonderful, efficient, He was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And then I was like, okay, bye, this was lovely,
see you again never And he was like, I come
to Australia. I mean, that wasn't Germany, there was it,
but yeah. He then he tried to come to Australia
and then I wouldn't let him.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Okay, Lebanese, I know, I know, I know, we have
a lot of Lebanese listeners. So what what Lebanese men
like in bed?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Lovely?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why does it have to be in bed? They're lovely men.
They really really look after their women.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, because they're mothers, right Lebanese boys, mothers are like
feed them well, and they're like little kings, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well yes, but they also know how to look after
a woman as well.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Right, And then I married an Aussie boring Greeks?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Are they they'd be similar to the Lebanese right, Yeah,
similar for sure. To just throwing out some stereotypes, you're
all the same.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Demand Well, I'm not going to say they're ship am I.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Chris Yard
Yes, sir, let's talk.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's go go.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Good that remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Chris Page and Amy's right, Good morning everyone, Amy, Happy Sunday.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Good morning Page.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well do you know why I'm up at about this morning?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Why?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Because we're still here and there's just so much to
live for and.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
The world is Do you get lucky last night?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
God, no, No. The asteroid, you know, the one I
told you about that could be hitting planet Earth in
twenty thirty two, so in seven years time, yes, which
sounds you hear twenty thirty two and you go, God,
that's like science fiction. That's in the future.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Seven year problem.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, seven years is not that far true? True, our
kids are still kids, and an asteroid could be hitting but.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's not landing in Australia apparently.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
So they've done the trajectory of it. This is amazing.
That's seven years away. They can tell where the asteroid's
gonna fly, like along it's sort of along the equator
of Earth, so across Africa that's a danger zone. Then
of course across the Indian Ocean there is all bad.
And then the end of the lines India, it's.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Going to take out Mumbai or something it could.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So Australia like lasers and guns.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yes, so they got to get onto that if it
is anyway. Bottom line, the odds of it hitting have
increased again to what two point six percent sounds that's still.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Pretty low to me.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, Big b would be probably starting to build
a bunker under his house.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So this is your dad. He's a survivalist, is he?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
He has been hoarding cans of preservative ridden riddled food
for years and you know in COVID and all of
the toilet paper went missing because it was at my
dad's house on cans of baked beans, cans of corn
like toilet paper, bottles of water.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Was he a boy scout, always be prepared atually?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, he would be ready.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
If an asteroid even came close to Australia, he'd build
a bunker. We could all go down there. We might
live for I don't know, six months or something.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, you say you have to.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Start drinking each other's pea.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
And yeah, I mean, I mean gross. But you say
we're a sweet in Australia because it's not going to
hit near us. An asteroid hitting Earth is a global event.
The impact from hitting army. Like the dirt and dust
clouds that go up. We could the whole world be
in darkness for months. It could block out the sun,
and if it lands in the ocean, you get one
(02:36):
hundred meters tsunami.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
There's also the way.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I look at it is that there's also a ninety
seven percent chance that is going to miss us. So
I'm going to stay positive on this one. Yeah, let's
let's start the show on a high.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
All right, we'll probably probably not.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
All totally fine.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Cool ninety seven chance of survival, Chris, is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
That time of the weekends, we're gonna go inside that
little secret society. See what your gals have been gathering
about in the mother's Facebook group this week? What's the
big issue in the Facebook mom's groups.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Okay, so this mom has written in Since my divorce,
I've been really exploring in commas myself, and well, let's
just say some toys and objects have become part of
my routine objects.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
But my kids are getting way too curious.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
They've discovered a few of my things, and I'm absolutely
horrified to report that one of my toys ended up
in a Barbie dollhouse as a feature of the how
How on earth do you keep these things hidden from
the little busy bees who find anything and everything.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Wow? Big issue? I mean toys and objects.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, the objections through me.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I will tell you just if you are a keen
cook and you're making a salad, do make sure you
get the cucumber out of the fridge about an hour
before you make the salad, because you don't want a
really cold cumber that you want to get it to
room temperature before you make your salad.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Okay, do you use a lot of cucumbers in your salad.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I just don't like a really cold cucumber, so I
get it to room temperature.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I have I have a very nice looking adult toy
that looks like a paperweight. It's made of silicon. It
looks like a paperweight, fits in the palm of your hand.
It's in the shape of a pear. And sometimes it's
in my bedside drawer, and sometimes it's on the top
of my bedside draw And one time I came out
of the shower and I found my three year old
(04:43):
chewing on it like a chew toy.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right, now, let's just say, all of all of the
toys in my bedroom and my playhouse are clean.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh you said you put them in the dishwasher, so no,
but they're clean.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But it now has teeth marks in it. It's still
a really accessible and great toy that I've got in
my playhouse, but it does have teeth marks, which is
quite too perfect, kind of weird.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, because you're blonde. It's the old blonde joke about
chipping your teeth on the.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, I'm a fake blonde. I'm actually intelligent.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I actually dye my hair this color.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I didn't say you were an intelligent.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And then I've got another one which was pink and
fun looking, and it has a little switch and it
does all these little and again, same child, five year
old was rustling through I think it found it out
a Ryan's draw asked me what it was. I said
it was a massage gun, and I said, you know,
give it back to me. Blah blah blah. Two days later,
(05:44):
I found said massage gun outside in our street with
eight kids and they were all sat on the curb
and they were lining up to get a neck massage
with my massage gun, which my five year old had
come brought out and said, oh, who wants a massage?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And he had it on.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I mean there was many different settings and he was
putting it on all of their necks, just giving them
a massage.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, I guess massage gun and that's not a lot,
it's what it's doing. Why was it in Ryan's.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Draw because Ryan sometimes plays with it with me?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Right, sure, right, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
We're playing in our playroom.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah no, but I was just wondering. I was just checking,
like he never like.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Worry about your room temperature. Cucumbers, Yeah, you're putting them,
what's salad?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'm just saying I'd get upset if I was like
out at work or something and someone was playing with
my toys, you know, by themselves.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I just wouldn't ye.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Go to But you can tell, I Reckon, you'd be
able to tell if someone's been playing with your lego
or something, because you know, it just wouldn't be quite
the way you'd left it. Yeah, I think i'd notice.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Yeah, I would notice as well.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Ryan. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Anyway, I don't know where to keep them.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Maybe somewhere up high or yeah, yeah, maybe somewhere the
kids aren't going to find them and chew on them.
And show their friends and rub them on their friends. Maybe, okay,
thirteen one oh sixty five, give us a call. Where
did you find your toy? Obviously somewhere that you didn't
(07:17):
place it, and maybe someone you know, a little younger
has found it.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
One of your kids has moved it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, did you find it? Did it go to Show
and Tell? Maybe did it go to school? Yeah? All
of these ladies getting Mermaid hair vouchers, the hottest and
fastest selling hair tools across the globe. Stephanie is here, Stephanie,
Where did you find it? Steph Hi?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Guys, well, Amy, I'm going to not leave you hanging
out there on your own, please. One. I don't almost
say this is worse. I've got two kids. Ye, My
youngest is eight, and I got a phone call from
the teacher at his school to say that in that
week's Show and Tell he pulled out his favorite toy,
(08:00):
which were marbles on a string.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Those things, they were your marbles on a.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
String obviously has gone through a drawer. I'm not too
sure how, leaving me feeling like, you know, and my
partner the worst parents in the world, obviously not taking
too much care, which they were leaving things. We hadn't
noticed it was gone either, So that was a really
awful conversation.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
And you hadn't have to have You hadn't seen him
playing with it around the house or anything.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
He's just gone and gone. This is sick. I'm sure
I'm taking this to show my friends and my teachers.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yep, pretty much.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So the teacher called you to chat about it.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, totally. And look and that's the good you know,
grown up to grown up with your heads up. This
is the situation because yeah, so he's still got it
at that point when the phone call happened.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
By the way, I know what you would have said. Step.
I know you would have gone, sorry, there is Dad's
I don't know anything good on your step. Maria's here
as well, Maria, where did you find it? Maria?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
I wish it was me that founder, But my in
laws were looking after my daughter one weekend and I
get a phone call from my mother in law saying
that she's had to confiscate a toy that my daughter
had brought over with her that was hot pink, and
(09:29):
that she has now got it in her possession and
she will give it back to me or when I
go and pick up my daughter.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
That's so awkward the mother in law.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And the mother in law doing it like a teacher
as well. It's in my possession and you can have
it back at the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Oh yeah, right, we bring it up every Christmas.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
It's just amazing, great dinner chat.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know what, though, I feel like, was your mother
in law quite funny about it?
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Like was she sweet about it?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Was she kind of like fist bumping you as you
came to collect your goods or was she mortified?
Speaker 6 (10:05):
That was the best part about it, because when she
gave it back to me, she's like, I actually have
the same one.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
No, yes, Amy, I want to introduce you to another influencer.
His name's Ben Askins. He's got eight hundred and twenty
seven thousand followers. How many of you got?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Not that many?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Okay. He's on Chinese Instagram, which is what I call TikTok.
He's very big on there.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
No, I'm not a big TikToker.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No, me neither. I don't have the thing. I don't
want to be Spider of.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
The thing is an app anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Ben is like a career counselor coach, guy. He asked
his followers to send in stories of their worst bosses
and what their worst bosses did, and then he reads
them out. It turned into this much bigger thing than
he thought, and now I believe it's how he makes
his bread and butter. Basically, he's got some stories here
from people, and he reads out the text exchanges between
(11:04):
them and their boss. Okay, I'll play you one here.
This is one of someone who thought they had a job.
We're actually just about to start with this boss. It's
Ben Askins reading out the text exchange.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
Hi, Kirsty, do you have five minutes to talk? Just
about to jump in the car?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So not really? Is everything?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
No, afraid not. We have made the tough decision to
withdraw the job offer.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I'm sorry about that and obviously wishing nothing but the
best of luck in finding a new position elsewhere. Wait what,
I already left my job and was due to start
next week. The contract is all signed.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What has happened?
Speaker 7 (11:39):
The candidate we originally wanted to take the job has
come back into the pictum. Afraid I appreciate this causes
of some difficulties. We will of course pay you your
one week notice as per your probation bill. I actually
can't believe this. It is so unprofessional. It isn't unprofessional.
We are two candidates for the job, and unfortunately in
(12:00):
the second would you at least write me a reference
explain the situation that I can use in interviews. Let
me check so, as we haven't yet seen you work,
we can't write you in reference. But like I said,
I wish you nothing but the best. Perhaps your last
job will take you back thanks.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
For nothing your one week probation one week?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Like surely there has to be some sort of contractual.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I'm sure he sounds brittish. Maybe the laws are different
over there. I don't know. I suppose it's from all
over the world that people are sending in these things.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I guess the other way to look at it is
that she could have started because what you have like
a six week probationary period, and she could have done
one week and then he could have fired her. So
and just like done it that way, basically tried to
make out that she wasn't fit for the job.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It's bad, but it's such a shit.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Go let's check out another one from Ben asking. Let's
let's check out a fun one. This is someone being
asked to work on their day off.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Hey, so we need you to come in two people
out six. Sorry for the late notice. I'm not even
in Townstanine, we talked about this. I'm visiting my grandmother
and she is Alzheimer's. I've had this day booked in
for nearly a month. I understand, but that doesn't change
the situation. We're short stuffed. I'm sure your grandmother will understand.
It's not like she'll even remember you visited anyway. With
a smiley face. Wow, I can't actually believe you really
(13:22):
would write that. I quit, go go sell. I'm finally
a complaint to court. But geez, it was a joke.
Let's just forget about you coming in today. We'll make
you no need to quit or complain. You there, it
was a joke. I really didn't mean to upset you.
Can you pick up your phone?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Wow, I love the backpeddaling. No need to quit or complain,
and don't worry about coming in either, Stay with Nana.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, that's really wrong, Like if that's a boss writing
that message, not okay.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I had the same thought when he goes I'm visiting
my grandmother with Alzheimer's and he goes doring, I'm sure
she'll understand. My first thought was, well, no, she won't understand.
She doesn't understand anything.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Well he could have left it there.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, but they very good. Have you had a shock?
You're self employed for most of your various jobs, so
you're pretty lucky. And we have we're pretty good bosses
here at Kiss.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I will say, now, yeah, I am now since having children,
but obviously before I had a boss, I had bosses.
Never had any interactions like that in a like, no
inappropriateness or real rudeness.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You had shockers.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
It doesn't surprise.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
This was probably the worst that I worked on a
TV show for two years. It was a TV show
that would only happen during the football season. So the
season ended and everyone was like, hey, well done, everyone,
see you next year. It wasn't until like next year
when the foot he was about to start back up.
We're actually rang the guy that I've been doing the
show with. And it wasn't his fault. He's a legend,
(14:50):
this guy. And I said, hey, just checking, are we
when are we back on? Are we coming in? We're
doing a planning meeting whatever. He goes I'll just let
me double check, and called me back about ten minutes
later and said, I'm so sorry. They've they've decided there's
budget cuts and things like that. You're you're not a
part of the show.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
So they fired you without firing you, without actually telling.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You tell me. So there was a meeting somewhere at
this wonderful TV station and they decided that I was
cut from the show, and no one went does someone
want to tell him?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Oh? Wow, that's a pretty poor just go poor effort.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Ah dogs, I want to stress again the people I
did the show with group people management, no good. Just
probably tell someone you're sacking them. I mean, I know
it can be awkward, even a text message like these guys.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I have this ongoing rage issue, right it kind of
kicks offs.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, yeah, it's definitely heightened right before my period.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But there are certain things in life, and there's small,
tiny things that wouldn't normally shouldn't have the effect that
they have on me, but they make me irrationally angry.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I think it's part of getting older. I think as
you get older, you learn to deal with life's bigger
issues and bigger themes. But it's those little irritants that really,
as you get a bit older and crankier, really get
under your skin.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Like I jumped in the car this morning, and I
was in a bit of a rush, obviously I had
to get in here early, and I was trying to
yank my seatbelt on, and you know when you yank,
and then I know, my rational brain knows just yeah,
but I'm in a rush, so I'm yanking and and
then smashing myself agin. Yeah, and I know that I
(16:46):
just need to slow down, But that kind of shit
makes me irrationally angry. When I let people in in traffic,
all it takes is a simple two second thanks.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And when people don't do.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
That, I tailed gate them. Yeah Am I allowed to
say that?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't just did I. So let's it's out there.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
About following them home and doing burnouts on their grass, Like, yeah,
I hate rude people, like when they have no manners,
just something that would take up zero percent of their time. Yeah,
when I've just done a nice deed for you.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You know, the people you can get for that when
they don't wave is like if they're running a business,
they'll have the phone number on the car.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Oh, we've spoken about this.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Take a photo of that, and then you just start
messing with their business, ringing up ordering things that they
don't really want.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Is this, Yeah, that's right, and you've ordered gravel to
the front law.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That was another one. You find out where they live
through their business, and you order a ton of gravel, yeah,
to their lawn, and you say, I won't be home,
just leave it on the lawn.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Or you know, like this is all like this is
very handle based, but like for a woman, a lot
of the times I'll reach over for my handbag and
the strap will get caught on like the gearstick or
something like that. Never in my car, Ryan's old car,
He's got an older car. It always gets caught on
the gears stick. Or you're walking fast door and your
cardigan gets caught on the door handle and you just
(18:07):
like you're getting stopped in your tracks and you know
you should just like chill, take a chill pilled, but
I don't. I will reef forward and I'll just rip
it and then I'll rip.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
A hole in my shirt.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You're not a very coordinated person, are you, if you're
having like problems with doorways and things.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I mean just walking I am quite walking through.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
With that clipping the side of it.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
It's the flappy things that are always in my way,
like the flappy handles.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Of Okay, actually, all right, right, a right, I know
one to see. If you know this, what opens?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I will peg one at the wall?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Thank you? Why why do you have to seal a
chopper chop like it's a You.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Got angry just thinking about it?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Right, because those bloody chopper chops. The only time you
get them is at the barber when the kids sit
still for their haircut, and I can't. It takes me
ten minutes to open one of them. I get home
and you scissors and chopper chups, pull your head.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I've actually thrown a chopping up and smash it together
against a brick wall.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Engage before.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Honestly, you're a lollipop, get over it. Listerine, do the same, Listerine,
the plastic seal over the top of it. Why it's
mouth wash, Well, you're gonna poison it. I spit it
out anyway you put anything in there.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yah, But if a kid gets it, they do it
for the kids, not the adults.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
You know that, right?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well? Why chopper chops?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Then?
Speaker 4 (19:27):
I don't know why chopping up.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Obviously, the inventor hates all parents obviously has no children
themselves the worst.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
The two that have come to mind are sort of similar,
and it's both out in the garden, both using a
hose or an extension cord, when they're tangled up and kinked,
and you go and you're trying to untangle it, and
you go through the extension cord. You get it all that,
you laid it all that straight. You get to one
end and you go back. Oh, and it's twisted back
at the other end and it's all looped again. God
(19:54):
damn it. Honestly, this is not good for my blood pressure.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Tension cord, the extension call.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And the hose. I'll buy an expensive hose, the one
that says it doesn't kink, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Really hot days as well? I mean, I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
The weather boomert now, but hot days where you're hot
and you can't get any relief.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
That pissed me off as well.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
We're on the wrong station. We should be. We should
be doing AM radio. Give us a call. Where do
you hate hot days? Where's by Hernia? Anyway, let's get
out of here. Look, I thank you. That was good
to get it out, get my chest.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Let's said hate like, let's troll the people who created
chopper chops.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, and wave in traffic or die because honestly it
sounds like a little thing, but it's not. We're a
society and that's where it starts, and it sets the tone.
It sets the tone. If you can't wave, you're an
arm second, then we're not a society. We're a society.
Wave in traffic.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Ard.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
So Carl Sandalans has a brain aneurysm.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
And one in his chest as well.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Apparently really yeah, he's got to look after himself. I
believe he's going in a health kick for the operations
and stuff that you have some family experience with aneurysms.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yeah, And to be honest, I actually hope he isn't
listening because mine did not end well. Like my grandpa
had gone on a holiday to Cans with my nan
so we used to call him pop. Sorry, so it
was Nanapop and he was flying home from Cans and
unbeknownst to him he was of the older generation kind
of bury their head in the sand, don't do anything
about any of.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Their health issues that are of course.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Constantly poking being like help me, and had been been
complaining about headaches for a while now, didn't do anything
about it. Went to Cans, flying home, had a brain
aneurysm and it had burst, and basically they drove home
to my mum and dad's house.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
So it burst on the plane.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Well that's what they're saying yet.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
But there was no sudden He didn't instantly change or.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I don't know if there's a difference between it bursting
and instantly killing you. I don't think it happens like
within a split second. He deteriorated within a couple of hours,
so I think once at first there's like a I'm just.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Spacing They're all different couple of hours.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Correct, But he had basically gotten home, didn't recognize my dad.
My mum and dad clocked it straight away and they said, oh,
something's not right. Disorientated, he was walking into walls. Took
him into hospital.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It looked like a rugby league player from the eighties.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yep, something like that. And then basically by the time
they got to the hospital and he was a really
soft older man, he was so aggressive and he was
trying to fight the nurses and they were all just
trying to help him, and then they basically said, look,
I'm pretty sure there's something something has significantly happened because
(22:59):
he is deteriorating. Blood pressure was dropping, heart rate was dropping,
all of these things and it was a horrible Like
I was living in the UK at the time, but
my dad still talks well, well, he remembers it just
being like an incredibly traumatic way for him to lose
his dad and to see him go.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
It wasn't just because he was so rude to the nurses.
Wasn't they said, you know what, this guy is hard work.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's you making a joke out of my pop dying
in a really traumatic.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Way, just asking the question that hey, there's no hope
for him.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I'm sure they didn't have to turn anything off because
they hadn't hooked him onto anything, right, Okay, so I
think they did give him some sort of pain relief.
But yeah, look, I think it's really great that Kyle
has found these. He's one step ahead of them, which
is absolutely where you want to be with aneurysms wherever
they are in your body, because they can monitor them
(23:56):
and they can take action immediately.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
But if he's listening now, Kyle don't get on the plane.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Anything high pressured, I'd be avoiding.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I know he's listening. He's driving around in the rolls
Royce Phantom.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, I reckon. My money's on him not listening.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
But going, hey, how I listen to these two clowns
on the weekend? What they got the done for?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Let's really hope he's not listening now he.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Knows I love him. Okay, and the good news is
I can get Okay, Kyle, come back with us.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Have you got a good news story.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I've got some good news story. My mother also had
a brain aneurysm. She, in a stroke of good luck,
slipped and fell in the bathroom and hit her head
on the sink and so it got taken for a
scan because of that, and in that scan they picked
up the brain aneurysm that they wouldn't have found otherwise.
So she's actually lucky slipped and fell.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
She probably fell because she lost her balance because the
brain aneurysm was there.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
No, the fall was unrelated to that. She was actually
just slipping, but they found it. She went in for
the operation and it is it's the full you know,
cutting of the skull and brain surgery. It's really full on.
But you know what, brain surgeons are pretty smart people
that they're kind of professionals. You don't you don't get
dodgy brain surgeons. You know, if you go for a
(25:09):
bood job, you could go either way.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, people are getting them done in Thailand. Yeah, yeah,
risking fate over there.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
They don't botch a lot of the brain surgeries. They're
sort of the best of them.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Well, you'd want to hope not.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
My mum's fine. It all went great, recovery great, So
there you go.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Does she have to have check ups just out of curiosity?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
She did? I don't know if she still does. To
be honest, I think for a little while you do
the checkups. But yeah, she's one hundred percent. Sweet.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Great news story, Chris, we're gonna chat Maths.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You love Maths.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I can't not talk about it whilst it's on. It
is a favorite TV show of mine. I mean, my
brain is actually rotting as I'm watching it, but I
don't care.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
It's called brain rot for a reason.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
If somebody said math stands for many Australian flogs.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And it's like it kind of works and neck tattoo.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And neck tattoos. So I want to talk about one
guy in particularly.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
His name is Adrian. He's got a really lovely wife,
a Fena.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
But Adrian is I think he's Greek, and he I
think he was born here.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
But his accent is.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Very, very thick, and I myself really struggled to understand
a lot of what he says.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
He probably grew up in a house with Greek parents.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Very heavy accent, but he's
also got this very deep voice.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Anyway, he had he chucked all his toys out of
the cot during the week, had a tantrum, walked off set.
He's there to get married and to find love, but
he's left his wife and he's walked off set because
they didn't include him in a promo video, right, and
they've put all this on the show, put everything on
the show.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
His poor wife is sitting there really upset, going where
have you gone?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Is it his accent the reason they did well on
the promo?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
There's speculation that may be the case. That's that hasn't
come out and said.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, they probably Channel nine probably wouldn't come out. Well,
do foreigners.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
All these people on TikTok have come out and gone, well,
it's obviously because you can't understand him.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
But I don't know, I don't know, but he's.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
He's here him. How does he talk?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Okay, here's a little bit of how he talks.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
A lot of people talk about these subtitles in the comments,
and then everyone on the show messaged me and was like,
what's everyone talking about? We understood you perfectly fine. I
think people need to understand where I'm from in Sydney's
where my accent comes from. I grew up in a
multicultural community and that's just how we talk, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah, so that's not just an accent though, that's like
a bit of that's slurring and.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Well, no, it's not too bad. It is.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
It's sound like that on breakfast radio.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I have bet.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Have you ever dated a foreigner like someone who you
struggled to understand?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
No, no, no, I just I happened to have not
dated a foreigner. I absolutely would.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I've actually dated a few different guys from different backgrounds Russian, Greek, Lebanese,
but they all actually spoke.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Really good English, really easy to understand.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
But I did have a holiday romance once in the
mold Ives. I was there with my family, which makes
this story a little weird. But I met this guy
called Mark. He was from Germany. Germany, Germany, and when
I tell you, could barely speak any English, and so
we had to use hand signals, and we used to.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I'm guessing there was one main hand signal. That's it's
a beautiful language. German.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Oh it is actually not. Of all the languages, I
find it not attractive at all.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
It's an angry sounding yeah, like very angry. Ah Arabic
as well, because it has that throaty.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So I don't mind Arabic that can be kind and sexy.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I'm curious about some of these other nationalities there, because
you're reeled off a couple. Okay, well, firstly the German.
What's what's a German like in beds? The Germans? Germans
are coming?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
He yes, it was a ten day holiday romance. And
he was a very generous lover.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Was he efficient?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
He was efficient, He was wonderful, efficient, He was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
And then I was like, okay, bye, this was lovely,
see you again never And he was like, I come
to Australia. I mean, that wasn't Germany, there was it,
but yeah. He then he tried to come to Australia
and then I wouldn't let him.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Okay, Lebanese, I know, I know, I know, we have
a lot of Lebanese listeners. So what what Lebanese men
like in bed?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Lovely?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Why does it have to be in bed? They're lovely men.
They really really look after their women.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, because they're mothers, right Lebanese boys, mothers are like
feed them well, and they're like little kings, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well yes, but they also know how to look after
a woman as well.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Right, And then I married an Aussie boring Greeks?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Are they they'd be similar to the Lebanese right, Yeah,
similar for sure. To just throwing out some stereotypes, you're
all the same.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Demand Well, I'm not going to say they're ship am I.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
