Chris Page and Amy Gerard in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello there, and welcome to the Chris Page and Amy
Gerard Podcast. Girard, we're going to talk about adolescents a
bit later on in the show.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This morning.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Everyone in the world is talking about adolescents on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Can I tell you about another good show though.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Everyone knows adolescents, so you don't need to recommend it
or anything.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
A good one for you.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Give us a sleeper hit.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I don't know what that means, means sleeper hit.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
One that no one knows that we need to say.
Beauty in Black, Beauty in Black.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's basically about drugs and a strip club and prostitutes
and pimps and lots of money.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And they're all black, Yes they are.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And it's a really good show. It is an emotional rollercoaster.
Like you, I was hooked first episode.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Who makes this show? Because I feel, you know, just
watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It feels racist because going, oh, he's a show of beauty.
We're gonna make a show about black people. They're pimps,
the strippers, drug dealers. I mean, are there any black
real estate agents or finance guys on the.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Show is a very very wealthy black family.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
They make their money drugs.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, no, they're in a beauty industry and they're filthy,
stinking rich. So they're very, very wealthy and affluent.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I don't know, it sounds too racist for me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
A great show.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Beauty in Black, Beauty and Black.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Check it out all right, Netflix.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I've just googled.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh sorry, I googled black in Beauty.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Get off porn, half your dirty dog.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Let's get into the podcast. Adolescens the show on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Watch.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I'm still looking forward to checking out House of Cards.
You're behind what's telling me about adolescents?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's quite an eye opening show. I reckon every parent
needs to watch it as well. Actually, I think they're trying.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
To get it into schools.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's basically very normal, hard working, middle class family. I
want to say, maybe British. Yet I actually had to
watch it with subtitles on just Fi because the accent's quite.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Why have you done?
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Lad?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
You've gone and killed someone's I think?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
How old's the boys? Thirteen? Fourteen?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Is he think he's thirteen or fourteen?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah? He's got an older sister, a mom and a dad,
And I think the whole.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Idea behind this is what has happened.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He's gone and he's met up with this girl and
she's rejected him. This comes off the back of some
a bit of online trolling. They're using emojis, they're using
the words in cell.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He's been called he's been called an in cell.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He actually has this big chat with his psychologist in
the show, and he was saying, you know, a nude
went round of this teen and he thought she was
She was obviously really embarrassed, and so he waited for
a moment when he deemed that she would be weak,
and he went round to her house to ask her
to go to the fair or something, and she rejected him, right,
(03:03):
And they've had this altercation and she's pushed him to
kind of walk past him, and then he's ran after
her and he's actually stabbed her to death.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Jeez.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And it is it's quite confronting because you know that
this guy has made a permanent decision based on a
temporary feeling. But there's so much at play here, like
why does he have a knife too? Why is he's
so angry? And it all comes down to like all
of this stuff that's going on behind the scenes at
home online masculine toxicity kind of, you know, mainly that's.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The insull thing, right, So in cell is short for
involuntary celibate, which is men who would like to be
sleeping with women.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
But women reject them. So insan angry. So in cells
are angry and they hate women.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
They're angry and women because they can't land one.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So this is this is the crew that go to
Andrew take correct the in cels. Yeah, the insull thing though,
that toxic masculine. It it's such a dangerous area and
such a fine line, isn't it. Because I think young
men are having a really hard time at the moment
adjusting to the modern world.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And there's a lot of great things in.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
The modern world about that women can do, and women's
rights have come, but I think young men are being
asked to stifle their innate masculinity and there are things
men are wired to think and feel. Has the world
moved on without having that conversation with young men?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have We're gone?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, this is what we're going to do now? Women
are this blah blah blah. Is anyone talking to young
men about, hey, come on this journey with us.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Well, I think that's the whole point of this show.
I think the whole point of the show is to
raise awareness around the fact that there has been a
big movement and women's rights are progressing and evolving every day,
as they should. But and they're championing each other each
other and having each other's back, and we're all evolving together.
But I don't know if there's enough communication to young
(05:09):
boys to take them on the journey as well.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think a lot of young men feel like they've
been left behind well, And I.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Think that's the whole point of this show, is that
dads in particular really need to be leaning into this
whole era and you know where the world is at
and how progressive we've become, and helping educate their sons,
you know, like a woman should be able to say
no and walk away as also women, right, but all
(05:37):
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But young men are getting conflicting messages. Now there's ads
on TV saying you can't just kiss a girl, you know,
you have to ask permission and you got well add
is that there isn't There's ads about consent, which of
course no one is arguing with, but it's so confusing
for a young guy at a party.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
What can you kiss a girl?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of course you can try to kiss a girl and
get rejected, as long as you take that rejection and stop.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It all comes down to common sense, right, I think, like,
you know when it's at appropriate time to kiss a girl,
if you've been going on a dat or you're at
the movies and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, fourteen year old boy is still figuring out those
subtleties and when it's fourteen year old girls, yes they
are as well, but they should be on that journey together.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, I feel like the sexes have split off and
we're getting men and women are just getting further and
further apart.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I want to ask you this, what would you prefer
Oscar and Henry to do? Would you prefer them to
be at home, locked inside their bedroom, but at least
they're at home so you know they're safe. But they're
online all the time. Because his mum made reference to
the fact that her son was at home and she
was like, I thought that was the right thing, because
I know where he was, he was safe, but he
(06:51):
was online the whole time, just constantly feeding and reading
all this stuff and whatever's going on, like getting bullied,
probably on there but reading all this stuff from the
likes of Andrew Tate learning how to stand up and
show your dominance and blah blah blah. Or would you
prefer your sons to be out at a skate park
or would you prefer them to be riding their bikes?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Or instinctively I would say I want them to be
at home because they're safe. But that's that's my immediate
human instinct. But we weren't designed for the Internet, and
we want people close to us. But you know my
biggest fear child predators and pedophiles.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, they're on the internet.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Now, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
They're not down at the toilet block at the park anymore.
They're on the Internet. So the kids aren't safe in
their room. I mean, I'm sure there's old school pedos
who are still down anyway.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I think it's a really good It is a good
eye opening show for everybody to watch because it hits very,
very close to home. It's not like it's not too extreme.
It's like, wow, this could happen to my kid. It
could happen to your kid.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
And that's why it's quite confronting to watch.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Chapel Roone. He is a hot young artist. We play
from time to time.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Could I sound any older saying she's a hot young artist. Yeah,
she's done a podcast and she reckons she's not gonna
have kids.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Ever.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
All of my friends who have kids are in hell.
I actually don't know anyone who's like happy and has
children at this age. I have like a one year old,
like three year old, four and under five and under.
I literally have not met anyone who's happy, anyone who
has like light in their eyes, anyone who has who
is slat light.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
In your eyes.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Wow, Okay, I know.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I mean yes, the age those young ages she's talking
about are the tougher times of being a parent.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Would I say it's hell, I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Would say it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I actually did read a stat once and it said
that the happiest people in the world are the people
who have no kids. Apparently, the unhappiest people are people
who have more than two children, have boys between the
ages of like two and four, or girls between the
ages of thirteen and fifteen, or people who have more
(09:06):
than two kids in both genders, which I'm like kicking
multiple boxes of them.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But in the olden days, they didn't have iPads and
they'd have like ten kids. That's right, you know, because
they knew a few would die back a fule years ago.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Look, having kids is so hard. It's so hard.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's half the reason why I have a platform on
social media, because I swear to God. Back when I
started having babies, I remember looking around being like wow,
Like I love my daughter, But why is no one
talking about how hellish this is and how hard it
is and how sleep deprived you become.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What about those people that don't have kids, Though they
say they're happy, they are on their socials, they're out,
you know, forty year old women out with a cocktail
on a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Is she really happy?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I think I would be looking at it like if
you're married without children. I have a girlfriend of mine.
They're married with kids, made a choice not to have kids,
and they travel every single year. They do these humongous,
beautiful European holidays. They're going to Antarctica soon. Where I
think having children will be wonderful is when they grow
(10:15):
up a little bit, Like I think at the moment
it's fifty to fifty, Yeah, my kids are hard, but
then you have these beautiful moments where they get into
bed with you of a morning, and there's cuddles, and
there's glimmers throughout every day where your kids are amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You need to appreciate that and think I'm trying better
When Oscar climbs into bed with me and gives me
a big HUGO, I'm trying to imagine or remember the
times that I've been away from home for a long
time and what I would give for this moment correct
right now. And I just think a lot of those
single older people. I used to work with someone who
(10:50):
doesn't have kids, and is that age we all went
out as a group got blind. She ended up in
tears and confiding to me that she wanted what I have, yeah,
which is a a partner and children.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, of course. And I think sometimes people always think
the grass is greener. But and so people when they're
you know that if they are in the early stages
and they're not getting much sleep, they're going, oh my god,
what have I done? And they're looking at their girlfriends
who are single or you know, not with children, and
they're traveling and they're living their best life sleeping in
on a Sunday and all those kind of things, and
(11:22):
you think the people who don't have children probably looking
at them and all their you know, the cuddles in
the morning, and you always want what you don't have.
But to answer Chapel Rohan's question, no parent is well
her statement, no parent is happy, I think that's bs.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, I think I'm happy deep down. And you know
the saying the days are long, but the years are short.
So the day you just go, you're looking forward to bedtime.
You're going, when can I put these turds to bed
so I can just relax and watch TV. But then
suddenly they're fifteen years old and don't talk to you,
and you're wait, did that time go?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Exactly right.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
And I think about like big Christmases and stuff, and
spending Christmases and Easter Holidays with family and then making memories.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, when you're on your deathbed and you look back
Chapel Roone on her deathbed, I reckon he's going to
look back and go, what did I bring the world?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
She's a few good songs, but.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know, like a award winning artist.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The unfair thing on.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Men and women who choose not to have kids is
everyone will always asks them or when you're gonna have kids.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You're gonna have kids. You know what the answer to
happiness is. And Chapel Roon are like this one homosexuality.
The gays. Look how happy they are when you see
two gay guys.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
How much money they have? Two gay guys, they both
have jobs, they don't have kids, They go traveling, they like.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The same stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I don't know where you're going with that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, no one ever asks them when you're having kids.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I think why I'm getting confused is because I know
a lot of gay couples and they all have kids,
right right.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Chapel's a lesbian and she reckons she's happy. So I'm
just saying there's probably something in it.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
If you're still figuring things out, go the same sex route. Okay,
the world's over populated anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Well, I know you don't spend as much time as
me on Instagram, But do you when you are on there?
Do you get fed ads? Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, they know what I want and yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
There's this new feature at the moment that's happening. And
when I'm looking on stories now there's ads on your stories.
And when I tell you I am a Marketer's wet dream,
like I get sucked into every single one of them.
I cannot tell you how much crap I've bought in
the last couple of months, Like a jewelry cleaner where
(13:37):
it like rattles with liquid in it and it cleans
your jewelry. I've got like a lip stain that you
put this purple lip stain on your lips and then
you peel it off and it's like you've had a
lip tattoo.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So your Instagram feed is basically the modern version of
Dane's Direct the Late Night.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, and that's exactly what it is. You know what
I've bought off Daniel's Direct have Yeah, I bought a
walking pad, like a it's like a trademill.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's a treadmill.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Without the arms or anything, so it's just like a
pad and it's electric. But it's meant to be used
under a desk, so like a walking pad, so you
can walk at the same time. But I was like,
oh great, I'll be able to get my steps up
whilst I'm watching maths.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
How many times have you used that?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Once?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They've fit in my house for like six months?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And how much was it?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
No, it actually wasn't that expensive. It was to eighty
or something to eighty.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So that's two hundred and eighty dollars per use of
a walking gear.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But that is classic Amy Gerard behavior. I once signed
up for a gym because I got real motivated. I
went into Lorna Jane, I bought a whole new wardrobe
of activewear, signed up to the gym, like I circled
all the classes that I was going to do four
times a week, maybe five if I'm feeling fit, and
I paid for the whole year up front because that's
(14:55):
how committed I was.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
In the entire year, I went twice twice.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And what was and how much did the year costs?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, come on, give us a dollar value. Is it
worse than two hundred and eighty dollars per use? Yes,
that's a bad per use. I'm the same as you
as a sucker for the I'm right, this is my
new thing. I'm invested in it.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I told you.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's why I'm so desperate to go through with learning Spanish,
which I'm doing because I've paid for the year of
due Lingo to learn the language.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So I'm really determined to do it this time because
in the past, golf clubs and golf club memberships.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I go, oh, I love golf. I'm going to play
so much, but not with these crappy old clubs.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Needs some new ones. That's why I keep slicing into
the woods because of the clubs. If I buy some
really hot new ones.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Don't go I am. I think it's an ADHD. I
think you get hyper fixated on stuff and you go
all in. But then again, ADHD, you just boom tangent
into something else. Don't get me started. I bought a Thermomix,
I signed up for a year's cookbook. I have not
used the Thermo Mix once.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I can't even work out the cost per use of
your Pernamix because something times zero is like a weird
maths impossibility, and every.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I just keep saying, I'm going to I'm going to
get it down, I'm going to use it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's never happened.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's ADHD.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Is there anything that you've kind of fixated on and followed.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Through with Spanish? I'm trying see see. That's all I
can say, Chris.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We could talk about maths because you've only got one
more weekend to do it.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Thank God. What finishes tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I think we've got their dinner party tonight and then
they have their little couch session on Monday night.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
But they've done their final vows, so basically they So
that's that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I thought that was the end.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
When they get them both together and they say, right,
do you want to stay or go? And they both find.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Out what they correct So that's all happened.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Did many couples say different things?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So like obviously some couple said both wanted to stay,
others both wanted to go.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How many couples one of them stayed in one of
them When.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Corina and Paul, that was a big one. Paul was like,
want to stay with you? Can't wait to see and
Karen is like, you've given me the ick and you
had me and now you lost me. And then he
was a blubbering mess.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Let me hear this, Sam, I can't believe it's it's Ober.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Did have any in cleaning It was going to go
like this today, but literally no, I just wanted to
I just want to go give a big hug, and
I just want to ask you to maybe try a
little hearted, some pasty. I just I just want to
try to convince me you.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Suck Paul, And to be honest, you make your bed
now you gotta lay in it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Buddy, What do you reckon? Had happened if you and me?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And no, don't pull that face? What hook up?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
But because we're a radio couple, what if we had
to do our final vows come to each other and say, hey,
do you want to keep doing this Chris pe Jamie
Gerard radio show or do you want to walk away?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I can write some vows. Now I'm gonna write vows.
I'm in and this will be whether or not we
continue a radio show.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, So is this Sunday, the sixth of April our
last ever show?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
All right, I'm going to stay tuned to find out.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I got three kiss hits thinking time here to do.
We're gonna come back and do our final vowels and
oh god, you give me that?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Oh my god, I'm writing them right now.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, our final vowls, whether or not we say together
for the show coming up?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Chris, Okay, Max has finished well tomorrow night it finishes, thankfully.
Some of the breakups were a bit awkward, Jackie and Ryan,
I believe was.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Tolerating your behavior is isolating. The way you speak and
control the people and animals you love scares me. You
planned a gang attack on me, good Lord, a gang attack.
Your complete lack of self reflection, apologies, pride, and ego
are the reason we couldn't deal with our key issues
in this relationship. So today I choose peace and to
(18:54):
walk away from this relationship.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Ryan.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
In a world of red flags, you are the red carpet.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So we've been working on our vows, and this is
I've taken mind really seriously. I can see that you've
been writing away for the last three songs we've been
doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I've just made a few quick notes.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So this is where we decide whether or not we're
going to continue doing this radio show. So we're going
to continue as a couple on air, or we're going
to go our separate ways.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Do you want to go first? All right, I need
to ramp mine up. If you're a massive asshole.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Amy, You're not a perfect woman.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Our personalities have an amazing amount in common, but at
the same time, we don't have a lot in common,
and we're very very different people.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I like staying at home. I have a very boring
life and I'll say that, but it is.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
But it's a boring and peaceful life. I see your
life play out on social media and I see everything
you do, and you're always You're always out, and I
don't know there's a glamour to it that I but
I feel that I feel that some of that glamour.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Has to be, you know, fake and for the social media.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But I've told you before that you're one of the
smartest people I know, and I mean that you are
incredibly intelligent when it comes to things that you're interested in.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
In your world.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Correct, you're intelligent, but also maybe the most ignorant person
I've ever met as far as what goes on in
the world outside of your world.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
That's a choice.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
My problem is that having no interest in anything outside
of your own world, I think suggests a lack of empathy.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Oh shots fired.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And I do find it difficult sometimes on the show
when we're talking about something that isn't Ryan or the kids,
that you don't seem interested in it because it doesn't
affect you and you won't buy in. I don't know
if radio is your like number one priorities. Well, you've
got your wine and your book and social media all
(20:54):
of that. So you know, I have high hopes for
this show and I love working at Kiss, but I
really need someone I know is one hundred percent on
board and someone who will buy right into whatever we're
doing on air.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So I am I need to leave?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Okay, I'm out, all right, No worries are making.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Any changes to yours based on mine or no.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So, Dear Chris, it's been fun. Obviously, we didn't get
to choose this pairing. We were just kind of thrusted together.
I remember meeting you for the very first time and
thinking why did they pair me with this guy? The
words wet blanket kind of were floating around in my brain.
(21:45):
So we're similar in some things, but like personality wise,
we are very different. Your sense of humor is incredibly
dark and inappropriate, sure, thank you, none of which our
listeners can hear about because of how dark and inappropriated
it is. I also don't find a lot of it funny.
(22:09):
And your fashion, I don't know whether or not you're
color blind or you're just trying to start a new
fashion movement called what was I thinking?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
But your your wardrobe is unreal.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I've never actually seen anyone pull off laundry day chic
quite like you, and that you know that chunky knit
that you wear from Grandpa's closet. Sorry, I'm in your
own closet.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Its hugo.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
You wear it like it's a school uniform. It's embarrassing
for me to be seen around the office with you,
did I mention in my sorry? You gotta let me
talk now. So obviously there's a lot of bold choices
that you make, but not in a whow that's bold way,
more like a wow, what.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Decade are you from?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Way? And then and then let's let's talk about the
skinny jeans, Chris, because they went out of fashion with
the dinosaurs. They're well and truly out and there's nothing
cool about seeing the outline of your tiny pecker against
your leg. Right, then, I want to I want to
talk about your perpetual tardiness. I've spent more time watching
(23:11):
sunsets waiting for you to show up to work most days.
Every time we make plans, it's not what time are
we meeting, it's when will Chris actually grace us with
his presence? You're five minutes aways. Pretty much become a
personal joke in the office, and you're dying to add, like,
just come at me again? Are you so listen? Whilst
(23:31):
it's been a really great year, it's been a first
for me in radio, and you've been really great paddeling
because I couldn't have been able to do that. I
think maybe it's time for them to bring in a
different co host, you know, someone.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I was thinking they'd bring in a new girl. Actually,
oh no, I.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Think a different co hosts a different panel. I don't
want to do the paneling. I just need someone that
I can bounce off more. That's funnier.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That's all I am. To use a button push correct
panel operator.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, I'm just a box of tissues.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
As you know how I sort of implied that you
were a bit superficial, and then you said you're worried
about what I wear on the radio.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And proved me right, it's over.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
It's over.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm done. All right?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Where do we go? Because I mean, we probably should
have not done this at the start of.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
AH mentioned this to the producer and he was like, no,
let's put it in now.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I said, let's do it at the end and then
we can go home. On this note, we're doing the
rest of the show, and then all right, but it's
our last show. Yeah, well that that is a down
for the start show.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
That is actually quite sad.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, but it's just water off a dutchback. You know why,
because it doesn't affect you. You can just go back
into your little world and nothing else matters. Correct, Amy,
It's the week we get to go inside the secret
Society of women and check out what is happening this
week in the Facebook mum's group.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
All right, hey, ladies, I need some advice.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
My husband and I both work full time and have
teenage kids, but in the mornings, my husband does nothing
to help get the family out the door. He gets up, showers,
and then leaves. Sounds sounds familiar?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Have you been writing the Facebook?
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Not me?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
He thinks cooking dinner at night is enough, but I
am doing absolutely everything else. Am I being unreasonable to
feel frustrated? How do I get through to him that
this isn't a fair split? Fired a dollar for every
time he is sitting watching the TV while mayhem is
happening around him. I'd be rich and leave jokes, but seriously,
I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Signed Georgie her All right, big issue.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Okay, I do everything in the kitchen. My kitchen, I
cook and then I clean up after dinner.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yes, do that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm a cuck. I'm different because I don't work during
the week.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
So you're a little bit different. So I'll give you
an example of our household. This has only recently been
put into place, but obviously Ryan and I both work.
My work is flexible and doesn't look like each day
is completely different. One day I'm out shooting that, I'm
in a podcast, I'm doing radio.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Every day is different.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, you're getting dressed on the internet and that too.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yes, I am Chris Page, sound jealous. But because of
those flexible hours, it means that I can do most
of the things with the kids. I'm doing school lunchboxes,
school jop offs, picking everyone up after school activities, soccer training, dancing,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So you're lucky, you can work, can work your jobs
around those commitments. Yeah, where as Ryan is sitting in
an office.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
School traditional jobs. Right, He's got an old school, traditional job.
He leaves at seven, doesn't get home till seven. But
that what that means is that my workload has just quadripled,
and so it all came to a head for us recently.
And I said, right, Ryan works on Tuesdays and Fridays
from home. And I said, on Tuesdays and Fridays, you're
going to be making lunches and doing school drop off,
(27:08):
and you're going to put a load of washing on,
and you're gonna do the same thing on Friday, and
then Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Sunday.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I will do the washing every day everything else. I mean.
He even tried to kick up a stink about that.
He was like, but but what are you doing on Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It doesn't matter, Ryan, it doesn't matter what I've got on.
It means that we're trying to share the workload around
the kids. This lady is saying that both her and
her husband work full time. So I would be saying,
you've got to divvy up the chores, the household chores.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Any men out there, the householder, they get a bad
wrap the household chores. I would love to be a
nineteen fifties housewife because I'm enjoy I pretty much am
my wife works all week.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I just come in and do this stupid radio show.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I mean, this awesome radio show, great co host.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
On the weekend with my beautiful, amazing intelligence Coosamy Girard.
During the week Yeah, I'm putting on loads of washing.
I'm hanging out, But you find enjoyment in these are
the things. Honestly, I love hanging out the washing.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
But can I this is that's exactly what you just said.
Then it's exactly right. You were at home doing the
household stuff, picking up the kids, grocery shopping, washing and
Georgie works. Yeah, right, and that's how it should be.
But the thing is, cost of living is so ridiculously
high that it's impossible usually for most people to well
(28:29):
for one person to usually stay at home consistently.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'm very lucky to be able to eke out a
living by only doing two days work.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
So I think when you do have two working parents,
household chores need to be evened out.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Tell you what I'm getting old though, when I check
the weather and get excited when you get a few
sunny days and awaw, you go, I'm going to get
washing was done, I'm going to get some washing.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
How bad's life?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Where it changes and you are happy that you've got
three loads away and you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The washing issue. That's the Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I've got this rotten pimple like on my temple and
it's not it's just a red spot now because I
ended up squeezing it. Yeah, squeeze, got to squeeze right,
get rid of it, like no one wants pass on
their face.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Get it out. But I'm annoyed.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I'm a forty two year old man, and I'm starting
to experience all the negative things of aging.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Hair in my ears, gray hair.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yet with the random like white wispy hair out of
my chest, the odd gray pube. If you're getting the
negative stuff about being old, then the negative stuff about adolescents,
like pimples should go away.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I still get pimples. I'm almost forty. I get pimples
every single month. Is it normal?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
That's your period?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Mine is my Yeah, hormones. I don't know, because I
have a period every month. I don't know what your
excuse is. I would say it's probably what you're eating,
because yours. I can see them now. They're on your forehead,
and I'm pretty sure pimples on your forehead or your
diet so around your mouth and your chin hair, that's.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Herpes No, it's not herpes.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
That's that's hormonal, and that's where I always get them
stresses apparently around the nose and stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
And then your forehead is your diet.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I did not know it. Is this real?
Speaker 4 (30:12):
Yeah, okay, that's real.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I'm just annoyed that I'm getting the bad end of both.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Health on the clisk, what's the what's this gel that
you used to use for?
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, I ran out of clio cell and my wife
gave me this eucalyptus oil or something that.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
No, it didn't work, drives them out. You need to
pop it and then put the eucalyptos oil on. I
did that, or toothpaste.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Really.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, I'm a chronic pop up.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Like I will sometimes have like a tiny little dot
on my face, which is nothing, and I should have
known by now.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I do this every single time.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I will hack and hack and hack until I've split
the skin and then I cause like this huge, festering,
scabby looking thing that looks like.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Heurpees of the face.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
If you'd left it alone, it would have gone a day.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Yeah, pick at it, do whatever, every single every single month.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
You know when you can feel one coming though, and
you can't even you can feel that like throbbing, burning
throbbing as a heartbeat in it coming up, and you
just go, God, that's going to be a nasty one,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I actually never got pimples as a kid.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
I get more now as a middle aged woman than
I did ever as a kid.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I was looking for something sharp enough to pierce it,
like I really needed it. I was going, why don't
we have.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
A knitting kit? The only time I've ever wanted a
knitting it.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
I'm going I need a nice sharp needle because I
tried like a wooden you know those wooden kebab sticks,
the skewer things on them.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
They're not sharp enough. They could need a pin.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yes, this is riveting content an infection.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
This shows an infection.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Get me a new co host.
Chris Page and Amy Gerard in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hello there, and welcome to the Chris Page and Amy
Gerard Podcast. Girard, we're going to talk about adolescents a
bit later on in the show.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
This morning.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Everyone in the world is talking about adolescents on Netflix.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Can I tell you about another good show though.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Everyone knows adolescents, so you don't need to recommend it
or anything.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
A good one for you.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Give us a sleeper hit.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I don't know what that means, means sleeper hit.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
One that no one knows that we need to say.
Beauty in Black, Beauty in Black.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's basically about drugs and a strip club and prostitutes
and pimps and lots of money.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
And they're all black, Yes they are.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
And it's a really good show. It is an emotional rollercoaster.
Like you, I was hooked first episode.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Who makes this show? Because I feel, you know, just
watch it.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It feels racist because going, oh, he's a show of beauty.
We're gonna make a show about black people. They're pimps,
the strippers, drug dealers. I mean, are there any black
real estate agents or finance guys on the.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Show is a very very wealthy black family.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
They make their money drugs.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, no, they're in a beauty industry and they're filthy,
stinking rich. So they're very, very wealthy and affluent.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I don't know, it sounds too racist for me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
A great show.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Beauty in Black, Beauty and Black.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Check it out all right, Netflix.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I've just googled.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh sorry, I googled black in Beauty.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Get off porn, half your dirty dog.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Let's get into the podcast. Adolescens the show on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Watch.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I'm still looking forward to checking out House of Cards.
You're behind what's telling me about adolescents?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's quite an eye opening show. I reckon every parent
needs to watch it as well. Actually, I think they're trying.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
To get it into schools.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
It's basically very normal, hard working, middle class family. I
want to say, maybe British. Yet I actually had to
watch it with subtitles on just Fi because the accent's quite.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Why have you done?
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Lad?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
You've gone and killed someone's I think?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
How old's the boys? Thirteen? Fourteen?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Is he think he's thirteen or fourteen?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah? He's got an older sister, a mom and a dad,
And I think the whole.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Idea behind this is what has happened.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
He's gone and he's met up with this girl and
she's rejected him. This comes off the back of some
a bit of online trolling. They're using emojis, they're using
the words in cell.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He's been called he's been called an in cell.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
He actually has this big chat with his psychologist in
the show, and he was saying, you know, a nude
went round of this teen and he thought she was
She was obviously really embarrassed, and so he waited for
a moment when he deemed that she would be weak,
and he went round to her house to ask her
to go to the fair or something, and she rejected him, right,
(03:03):
And they've had this altercation and she's pushed him to
kind of walk past him, and then he's ran after
her and he's actually stabbed her to death.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Jeez.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And it is it's quite confronting because you know that
this guy has made a permanent decision based on a
temporary feeling. But there's so much at play here, like
why does he have a knife too? Why is he's
so angry? And it all comes down to like all
of this stuff that's going on behind the scenes at
home online masculine toxicity kind of, you know, mainly that's.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
The insull thing, right, So in cell is short for
involuntary celibate, which is men who would like to be
sleeping with women.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
But women reject them. So insan angry. So in cells
are angry and they hate women.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
They're angry and women because they can't land one.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So this is this is the crew that go to
Andrew take correct the in cels. Yeah, the insull thing though,
that toxic masculine. It it's such a dangerous area and
such a fine line, isn't it. Because I think young
men are having a really hard time at the moment
adjusting to the modern world.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And there's a lot of great things in.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
The modern world about that women can do, and women's
rights have come, but I think young men are being
asked to stifle their innate masculinity and there are things
men are wired to think and feel. Has the world
moved on without having that conversation with young men?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Have We're gone?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, this is what we're going to do now? Women
are this blah blah blah. Is anyone talking to young
men about, hey, come on this journey with us.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Well, I think that's the whole point of this show.
I think the whole point of the show is to
raise awareness around the fact that there has been a
big movement and women's rights are progressing and evolving every day,
as they should. But and they're championing each other each
other and having each other's back, and we're all evolving together.
But I don't know if there's enough communication to young
(05:09):
boys to take them on the journey as well.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think a lot of young men feel like they've
been left behind well, And I.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Think that's the whole point of this show, is that
dads in particular really need to be leaning into this
whole era and you know where the world is at
and how progressive we've become, and helping educate their sons,
you know, like a woman should be able to say
no and walk away as also women, right, but all
(05:37):
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
But young men are getting conflicting messages. Now there's ads
on TV saying you can't just kiss a girl, you know,
you have to ask permission and you got well add
is that there isn't There's ads about consent, which of
course no one is arguing with, but it's so confusing
for a young guy at a party.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
What can you kiss a girl?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of course you can try to kiss a girl and
get rejected, as long as you take that rejection and stop.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It all comes down to common sense, right, I think, like,
you know when it's at appropriate time to kiss a girl,
if you've been going on a dat or you're at
the movies and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Well, fourteen year old boy is still figuring out those
subtleties and when it's fourteen year old girls, yes they
are as well, but they should be on that journey together.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, I feel like the sexes have split off and
we're getting men and women are just getting further and
further apart.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
I want to ask you this, what would you prefer
Oscar and Henry to do? Would you prefer them to
be at home, locked inside their bedroom, but at least
they're at home so you know they're safe. But they're
online all the time. Because his mum made reference to
the fact that her son was at home and she
was like, I thought that was the right thing, because
I know where he was, he was safe, but he
(06:51):
was online the whole time, just constantly feeding and reading
all this stuff and whatever's going on, like getting bullied,
probably on there but reading all this stuff from the
likes of Andrew Tate learning how to stand up and
show your dominance and blah blah blah. Or would you
prefer your sons to be out at a skate park
or would you prefer them to be riding their bikes?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Or instinctively I would say I want them to be
at home because they're safe. But that's that's my immediate
human instinct. But we weren't designed for the Internet, and
we want people close to us. But you know my
biggest fear child predators and pedophiles.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well, they're on the internet.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Now, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
They're not down at the toilet block at the park anymore.
They're on the Internet. So the kids aren't safe in
their room. I mean, I'm sure there's old school pedos
who are still down anyway.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I think it's a really good It is a good
eye opening show for everybody to watch because it hits very,
very close to home. It's not like it's not too extreme.
It's like, wow, this could happen to my kid. It
could happen to your kid.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
And that's why it's quite confronting to watch.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Chapel Roone. He is a hot young artist. We play
from time to time.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Could I sound any older saying she's a hot young artist. Yeah,
she's done a podcast and she reckons she's not gonna
have kids.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Ever.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
All of my friends who have kids are in hell.
I actually don't know anyone who's like happy and has
children at this age. I have like a one year old,
like three year old, four and under five and under.
I literally have not met anyone who's happy, anyone who
has like light in their eyes, anyone who has who
is slat light.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
In your eyes.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Wow, Okay, I know.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I mean yes, the age those young ages she's talking
about are the tougher times of being a parent.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Would I say it's hell, I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Would say it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I actually did read a stat once and it said
that the happiest people in the world are the people
who have no kids. Apparently, the unhappiest people are people
who have more than two children, have boys between the
ages of like two and four, or girls between the
ages of thirteen and fifteen, or people who have more
(09:06):
than two kids in both genders, which I'm like kicking
multiple boxes of them.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But in the olden days, they didn't have iPads and
they'd have like ten kids. That's right, you know, because
they knew a few would die back a fule years ago.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Look, having kids is so hard. It's so hard.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's half the reason why I have a platform on
social media, because I swear to God. Back when I
started having babies, I remember looking around being like wow,
Like I love my daughter, But why is no one
talking about how hellish this is and how hard it
is and how sleep deprived you become.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
What about those people that don't have kids, Though they
say they're happy, they are on their socials, they're out,
you know, forty year old women out with a cocktail
on a Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Is she really happy?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I think I would be looking at it like if
you're married without children. I have a girlfriend of mine.
They're married with kids, made a choice not to have kids,
and they travel every single year. They do these humongous,
beautiful European holidays. They're going to Antarctica soon. Where I
think having children will be wonderful is when they grow
(10:15):
up a little bit, Like I think at the moment
it's fifty to fifty, Yeah, my kids are hard, but
then you have these beautiful moments where they get into
bed with you of a morning, and there's cuddles, and
there's glimmers throughout every day where your kids are amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You need to appreciate that and think I'm trying better
When Oscar climbs into bed with me and gives me
a big HUGO, I'm trying to imagine or remember the
times that I've been away from home for a long
time and what I would give for this moment correct
right now. And I just think a lot of those
single older people. I used to work with someone who
(10:50):
doesn't have kids, and is that age we all went
out as a group got blind. She ended up in
tears and confiding to me that she wanted what I have, yeah,
which is a a partner and children.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, of course. And I think sometimes people always think
the grass is greener. But and so people when they're
you know that if they are in the early stages
and they're not getting much sleep, they're going, oh my god,
what have I done? And they're looking at their girlfriends
who are single or you know, not with children, and
they're traveling and they're living their best life sleeping in
on a Sunday and all those kind of things, and
(11:22):
you think the people who don't have children probably looking
at them and all their you know, the cuddles in
the morning, and you always want what you don't have.
But to answer Chapel Rohan's question, no parent is well
her statement, no parent is happy, I think that's bs.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, I think I'm happy deep down. And you know
the saying the days are long, but the years are short.
So the day you just go, you're looking forward to bedtime.
You're going, when can I put these turds to bed
so I can just relax and watch TV. But then
suddenly they're fifteen years old and don't talk to you,
and you're wait, did that time go?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Exactly right.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
And I think about like big Christmases and stuff, and
spending Christmases and Easter Holidays with family and then making memories.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, when you're on your deathbed and you look back
Chapel Roone on her deathbed, I reckon he's going to
look back and go, what did I bring the world?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
She's a few good songs, but.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know, like a award winning artist.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
The unfair thing on.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Men and women who choose not to have kids is
everyone will always asks them or when you're gonna have kids.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
You're gonna have kids. You know what the answer to
happiness is. And Chapel Roon are like this one homosexuality.
The gays. Look how happy they are when you see
two gay guys.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
How much money they have? Two gay guys, they both
have jobs, they don't have kids, They go traveling, they like.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The same stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I don't know where you're going with that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, no one ever asks them when you're having kids.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I think why I'm getting confused is because I know
a lot of gay couples and they all have kids,
right right.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Chapel's a lesbian and she reckons she's happy. So I'm
just saying there's probably something in it.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Kids.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
If you're still figuring things out, go the same sex route. Okay,
the world's over populated anyway.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Well, I know you don't spend as much time as
me on Instagram, But do you when you are on there?
Do you get fed ads? Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, they know what I want and yeah, well.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
There's this new feature at the moment that's happening. And
when I'm looking on stories now there's ads on your stories.
And when I tell you I am a Marketer's wet dream,
like I get sucked into every single one of them.
I cannot tell you how much crap I've bought in
the last couple of months, Like a jewelry cleaner where
(13:37):
it like rattles with liquid in it and it cleans
your jewelry. I've got like a lip stain that you
put this purple lip stain on your lips and then
you peel it off and it's like you've had a
lip tattoo.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So your Instagram feed is basically the modern version of
Dane's Direct the Late Night.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, and that's exactly what it is. You know what
I've bought off Daniel's Direct have Yeah, I bought a
walking pad, like a it's like a trademill.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's a treadmill.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Without the arms or anything, so it's just like a
pad and it's electric. But it's meant to be used
under a desk, so like a walking pad, so you
can walk at the same time. But I was like,
oh great, I'll be able to get my steps up
whilst I'm watching maths.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
How many times have you used that?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Once?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
They've fit in my house for like six months?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
And how much was it?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
No, it actually wasn't that expensive. It was to eighty
or something to eighty.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So that's two hundred and eighty dollars per use of
a walking gear.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
But that is classic Amy Gerard behavior. I once signed
up for a gym because I got real motivated. I
went into Lorna Jane, I bought a whole new wardrobe
of activewear, signed up to the gym, like I circled
all the classes that I was going to do four
times a week, maybe five if I'm feeling fit, and
I paid for the whole year up front because that's
(14:55):
how committed I was.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
In the entire year, I went twice twice.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And what was and how much did the year costs?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, come on, give us a dollar value. Is it
worse than two hundred and eighty dollars per use? Yes,
that's a bad per use. I'm the same as you
as a sucker for the I'm right, this is my
new thing. I'm invested in it.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I told you.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It's why I'm so desperate to go through with learning Spanish,
which I'm doing because I've paid for the year of
due Lingo to learn the language.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
So I'm really determined to do it this time because
in the past, golf clubs and golf club memberships.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I go, oh, I love golf. I'm going to play
so much, but not with these crappy old clubs.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Needs some new ones. That's why I keep slicing into
the woods because of the clubs. If I buy some
really hot new ones.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Don't go I am. I think it's an ADHD. I
think you get hyper fixated on stuff and you go
all in. But then again, ADHD, you just boom tangent
into something else. Don't get me started. I bought a Thermomix,
I signed up for a year's cookbook. I have not
used the Thermo Mix once.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I can't even work out the cost per use of
your Pernamix because something times zero is like a weird
maths impossibility, and every.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I just keep saying, I'm going to I'm going to
get it down, I'm going to use it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's never happened.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's ADHD.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Is there anything that you've kind of fixated on and followed.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Through with Spanish? I'm trying see see. That's all I
can say, Chris.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We could talk about maths because you've only got one
more weekend to do it.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Thank God. What finishes tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I think we've got their dinner party tonight and then
they have their little couch session on Monday night.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
But they've done their final vows, so basically they So
that's that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I thought that was the end.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
When they get them both together and they say, right,
do you want to stay or go? And they both find.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Out what they correct So that's all happened.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Did many couples say different things?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So like obviously some couple said both wanted to stay,
others both wanted to go.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How many couples one of them stayed in one of
them When.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Corina and Paul, that was a big one. Paul was like,
want to stay with you? Can't wait to see and
Karen is like, you've given me the ick and you
had me and now you lost me. And then he
was a blubbering mess.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Let me hear this, Sam, I can't believe it's it's Ober.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Did have any in cleaning It was going to go
like this today, but literally no, I just wanted to
I just want to go give a big hug, and
I just want to ask you to maybe try a
little hearted, some pasty. I just I just want to
try to convince me you.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Suck Paul, And to be honest, you make your bed
now you gotta lay in it.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Buddy, What do you reckon? Had happened if you and me?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
And no, don't pull that face? What hook up?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
But because we're a radio couple, what if we had
to do our final vows come to each other and say, hey,
do you want to keep doing this Chris pe Jamie
Gerard radio show or do you want to walk away?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I can write some vows. Now I'm gonna write vows.
I'm in and this will be whether or not we
continue a radio show.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, So is this Sunday, the sixth of April our
last ever show?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
All right, I'm going to stay tuned to find out.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I got three kiss hits thinking time here to do.
We're gonna come back and do our final vowels and
oh god, you give me that?
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Oh my god, I'm writing them right now.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, our final vowls, whether or not we say together
for the show coming up?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Chris, Okay, Max has finished well tomorrow night it finishes, thankfully.
Some of the breakups were a bit awkward, Jackie and Ryan,
I believe was.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Tolerating your behavior is isolating. The way you speak and
control the people and animals you love scares me. You
planned a gang attack on me, good Lord, a gang attack.
Your complete lack of self reflection, apologies, pride, and ego
are the reason we couldn't deal with our key issues
in this relationship. So today I choose peace and to
(18:54):
walk away from this relationship.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Ryan.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
In a world of red flags, you are the red carpet.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
So we've been working on our vows, and this is
I've taken mind really seriously. I can see that you've
been writing away for the last three songs we've been
doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I've just made a few quick notes.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So this is where we decide whether or not we're
going to continue doing this radio show. So we're going
to continue as a couple on air, or we're going
to go our separate ways.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Do you want to go first? All right, I need
to ramp mine up. If you're a massive asshole.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Amy, You're not a perfect woman.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Our personalities have an amazing amount in common, but at
the same time, we don't have a lot in common,
and we're very very different people.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I like staying at home. I have a very boring
life and I'll say that, but it is.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
But it's a boring and peaceful life. I see your
life play out on social media and I see everything
you do, and you're always You're always out, and I
don't know there's a glamour to it that I but
I feel that I feel that some of that glamour.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Has to be, you know, fake and for the social media.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But I've told you before that you're one of the
smartest people I know, and I mean that you are
incredibly intelligent when it comes to things that you're interested in.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
In your world.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Correct, you're intelligent, but also maybe the most ignorant person
I've ever met as far as what goes on in
the world outside of your world.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
That's a choice.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
My problem is that having no interest in anything outside
of your own world, I think suggests a lack of empathy.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Oh shots fired.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And I do find it difficult sometimes on the show
when we're talking about something that isn't Ryan or the kids,
that you don't seem interested in it because it doesn't
affect you and you won't buy in. I don't know
if radio is your like number one priorities. Well, you've
got your wine and your book and social media all
(20:54):
of that. So you know, I have high hopes for
this show and I love working at Kiss, but I
really need someone I know is one hundred percent on
board and someone who will buy right into whatever we're
doing on air.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
So I am I need to leave?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Okay, I'm out, all right, No worries are making.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Any changes to yours based on mine or no.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So, Dear Chris, it's been fun. Obviously, we didn't get
to choose this pairing. We were just kind of thrusted together.
I remember meeting you for the very first time and
thinking why did they pair me with this guy? The
words wet blanket kind of were floating around in my brain.
(21:45):
So we're similar in some things, but like personality wise,
we are very different. Your sense of humor is incredibly
dark and inappropriate, sure, thank you, none of which our
listeners can hear about because of how dark and inappropriated
it is. I also don't find a lot of it funny.
(22:09):
And your fashion, I don't know whether or not you're
color blind or you're just trying to start a new
fashion movement called what was I thinking?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
But your your wardrobe is unreal.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
I've never actually seen anyone pull off laundry day chic
quite like you, and that you know that chunky knit
that you wear from Grandpa's closet. Sorry, I'm in your
own closet.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Its hugo.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
You wear it like it's a school uniform. It's embarrassing
for me to be seen around the office with you,
did I mention in my sorry? You gotta let me
talk now. So obviously there's a lot of bold choices
that you make, but not in a whow that's bold way,
more like a wow, what.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Decade are you from?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Way? And then and then let's let's talk about the
skinny jeans, Chris, because they went out of fashion with
the dinosaurs. They're well and truly out and there's nothing
cool about seeing the outline of your tiny pecker against
your leg. Right, then, I want to I want to
talk about your perpetual tardiness. I've spent more time watching
(23:11):
sunsets waiting for you to show up to work most days.
Every time we make plans, it's not what time are
we meeting, it's when will Chris actually grace us with
his presence? You're five minutes aways. Pretty much become a
personal joke in the office, and you're dying to add, like,
just come at me again? Are you so listen? Whilst
(23:31):
it's been a really great year, it's been a first
for me in radio, and you've been really great paddeling
because I couldn't have been able to do that. I
think maybe it's time for them to bring in a
different co host, you know, someone.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I was thinking they'd bring in a new girl. Actually,
oh no, I.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Think a different co hosts a different panel. I don't
want to do the paneling. I just need someone that
I can bounce off more. That's funnier.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That's all I am. To use a button push correct
panel operator.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, I'm just a box of tissues.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
As you know how I sort of implied that you
were a bit superficial, and then you said you're worried
about what I wear on the radio.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And proved me right, it's over.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
It's over.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
I'm done. All right?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Where do we go? Because I mean, we probably should
have not done this at the start of.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
AH mentioned this to the producer and he was like, no,
let's put it in now.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I said, let's do it at the end and then
we can go home. On this note, we're doing the
rest of the show, and then all right, but it's
our last show. Yeah, well that that is a down
for the start show.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
That is actually quite sad.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, but it's just water off a dutchback. You know why,
because it doesn't affect you. You can just go back
into your little world and nothing else matters. Correct, Amy,
It's the week we get to go inside the secret
Society of women and check out what is happening this
week in the Facebook mum's group.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
All right, hey, ladies, I need some advice.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
My husband and I both work full time and have
teenage kids, but in the mornings, my husband does nothing
to help get the family out the door. He gets up, showers,
and then leaves. Sounds sounds familiar?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Have you been writing the Facebook?
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Not me?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
He thinks cooking dinner at night is enough, but I
am doing absolutely everything else. Am I being unreasonable to
feel frustrated? How do I get through to him that
this isn't a fair split? Fired a dollar for every
time he is sitting watching the TV while mayhem is
happening around him. I'd be rich and leave jokes, but seriously,
I'm over it.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Signed Georgie her All right, big issue.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Okay, I do everything in the kitchen. My kitchen, I
cook and then I clean up after dinner.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yes, do that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm a cuck. I'm different because I don't work during
the week.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
So you're a little bit different. So I'll give you
an example of our household. This has only recently been
put into place, but obviously Ryan and I both work.
My work is flexible and doesn't look like each day
is completely different. One day I'm out shooting that, I'm
in a podcast, I'm doing radio.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Every day is different.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, you're getting dressed on the internet and that too.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yes, I am Chris Page, sound jealous. But because of
those flexible hours, it means that I can do most
of the things with the kids. I'm doing school lunchboxes,
school jop offs, picking everyone up after school activities, soccer training, dancing,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So you're lucky, you can work, can work your jobs
around those commitments. Yeah, where as Ryan is sitting in
an office.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
School traditional jobs. Right, He's got an old school, traditional job.
He leaves at seven, doesn't get home till seven. But
that what that means is that my workload has just quadripled,
and so it all came to a head for us recently.
And I said, right, Ryan works on Tuesdays and Fridays
from home. And I said, on Tuesdays and Fridays, you're
going to be making lunches and doing school drop off,
(27:08):
and you're going to put a load of washing on,
and you're gonna do the same thing on Friday, and
then Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Sunday.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I will do the washing every day everything else. I mean.
He even tried to kick up a stink about that.
He was like, but but what are you doing on Tuesday?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It doesn't matter, Ryan, it doesn't matter what I've got on.
It means that we're trying to share the workload around
the kids. This lady is saying that both her and
her husband work full time. So I would be saying,
you've got to divvy up the chores, the household chores.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Any men out there, the householder, they get a bad
wrap the household chores. I would love to be a
nineteen fifties housewife because I'm enjoy I pretty much am
my wife works all week.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I just come in and do this stupid radio show.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I mean, this awesome radio show, great co host.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
On the weekend with my beautiful, amazing intelligence Coosamy Girard.
During the week Yeah, I'm putting on loads of washing.
I'm hanging out, But you find enjoyment in these are
the things. Honestly, I love hanging out the washing.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
But can I this is that's exactly what you just said.
Then it's exactly right. You were at home doing the
household stuff, picking up the kids, grocery shopping, washing and
Georgie works. Yeah, right, and that's how it should be.
But the thing is, cost of living is so ridiculously
high that it's impossible usually for most people to well
(28:29):
for one person to usually stay at home consistently.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I'm very lucky to be able to eke out a
living by only doing two days work.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
So I think when you do have two working parents,
household chores need to be evened out.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Tell you what I'm getting old though, when I check
the weather and get excited when you get a few
sunny days and awaw, you go, I'm going to get
washing was done, I'm going to get some washing.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
How bad's life?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Where it changes and you are happy that you've got
three loads away and you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
The washing issue. That's the Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
I've got this rotten pimple like on my temple and
it's not it's just a red spot now because I
ended up squeezing it. Yeah, squeeze, got to squeeze right,
get rid of it, like no one wants pass on
their face.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Get it out. But I'm annoyed.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I'm a forty two year old man, and I'm starting
to experience all the negative things of aging.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Hair in my ears, gray hair.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Yet with the random like white wispy hair out of
my chest, the odd gray pube. If you're getting the
negative stuff about being old, then the negative stuff about adolescents,
like pimples should go away.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
I still get pimples. I'm almost forty. I get pimples
every single month. Is it normal?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
That's your period?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Mine is my Yeah, hormones. I don't know, because I
have a period every month. I don't know what your
excuse is. I would say it's probably what you're eating,
because yours. I can see them now. They're on your forehead,
and I'm pretty sure pimples on your forehead or your
diet so around your mouth and your chin hair, that's.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Herpes No, it's not herpes.
Speaker 4 (30:02):

stresses apparently around the nose and stuff.

And then your forehead is your diet.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I did not know it. Is this real?
Speaker 4 (30:12):

gave me this eucalyptus oil or something that.

No, it didn't work, drives them out. You need to
pop it and then put the eucalyptos oil on. I

the skin and then I cause like this huge, festering,
scabby looking thing that looks like.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
You know when you can feel one coming though, and
you can't even you can feel that like throbbing, burning
throbbing as a heartbeat in it coming up, and you
just go, God, that's going to be a nasty one,
isn't it.

I get more now as a middle aged woman than
I did ever as a kid.
