Yes, sir, let's good morning. That remains to be seen.
Chris Paige and Amy Gerard. Hey, good morning everyone, Happy Sunday,
Amy Gerard, You're doing good.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You know what I'm really happy about that today is
the final day of winter.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I did not know you had that.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Please. I hate winter. I like what you like winter, yeah,
but I'm over it.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I had enough winter.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I like it for a little bit. I love getting
the firewood and sticking up, and now I've had enough.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It just plays havoc with my mood. I am a
better person when the sun is out.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Truly cracked. The sads, which is what they call it
in London, the seasonal effective disorder, exactly because it's a
miserable city. So everyone's missing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's not a miserable city. The weather is miserable. It's
a real it's a real thing. I had it the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Time I was over there, so I had to make
short trips to Croatia and Cyprus and the Greek Islands
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
God, you're a battler, Ami, I've done it, really tough anyway,
I see you later.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Winter searbye, don't call me, I'll call you.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Although one side effective winter, something happened to me, a
lovely occurrence that reaffirmed my in humanity, particularly young people.
I got caught in the city in the rain. It
absolutely just came out of nowhere, started pouring down, and
I was standing there, stuck at the traffic lights, getting drenched.
A schoolgirl runs up to me with her umbrella and
(02:01):
stands next to me and protects me from the rain.
And she was this lovely gone she raining so hard.
Are you okay? You don't have an umbrella? And she
walks She's.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Probably like, you are an idiot, Sure is your umbrella?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So that, and she walked me across the road with
the thing like I was an old lady, because we
were told as young men, you know, helping old ladies
across the road.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think there's so many good people in humanity.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I have similar situation, did a PLARTI class, and there
was a lady who walked me all the way to
my car because I also was a more.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
On her who hadn't brought an umbrella.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, when it'd been torrential raining, so there's good there's
good eggs still out there.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well done. They're teaching the kids of today to help
old alcoholics when it's when it's raining. Chris but aims, well,
I'm getting old, and you know that. I'm forty two.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But you're only two and a half years older than me.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, but I'm older than forty two. I think in
like I'm an old person.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, you definitely are.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You're forty two, but I feel like you're actually about seventy.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm a bit Get off my lawn. You're for forty.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You are right, you're a grumpy old man.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm grand Terino, but I'm the opposite.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm like thirty nine, but in my head, I'm still
twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, okay, your Sabrina carp and I am Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah pretty much.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So I'm turning into my dad. I walk around the house,
you know, turning off lights when people aren't in the rooms,
going why the lights on? Our electricity bills through the roof.
Except that actually is now I'm finding pleasure in saving money.
You actually sorry, this is boring as hell as and
I can see you. I know when I'm bored.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's like I'm talking to my own dad.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, you're right. But when I'm bored of my own store,
you go, it's bad radio.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Just come on hit me.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I was going to tell you about something I bought
at Aldi. Okay, and it's good. You've got to check
it out.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I've got an Audi story for you too.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Everyone's got their Aldi specials they go to. Tried the
Indian roasty bread from Aldi from the freezer.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Section, Okay, in the oven, no eight pack.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And you put it in the fry pan, not the air.
Maybe a little bit maybe even a tiny bit of butter,
but it gets all light and fluffy and honest, it
was like restaurant roty bread. And we had it with
the Aldi beef massimine.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, when I first started dating Ryan, I hate cooking,
and he had just come out of this long term
relationship with an Italian woman, and I was like, oh,
well excuse me.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh it cooking.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, okay, yeah. I remember he came over the first
couple of times and I said, oh, I'll make dinner.
I'll make dinner.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And then I went to Audi and my girlfriend actually
gave me the heads up about this. She said, go
into Audi. They've got this chicken pesto pasta with sun
dried tomatoes and all of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Chuck it in the oven and it's so good. So
I made that.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then I cooked it all and then I transferred
it into like a casserole dish like I'd cooked it myself.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Grated some more cheese over the top.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So as he walked in the door, here I am
Nigella Lawson pulling out this beautiful looking pasta bake and
I've served it up to him with some garlic bread
and a glass of wine. And he was like, wow,
this is so good, and I was like, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's just an old recipe of my mom's.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So he's gone from an Italian woman serving him up
authentic food just like Mama used to make back in Sicily,
to an Aldi special.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, and can I tell you it's stacked up, guys,
it's stacked up.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
He was very impressed. He's now my husband.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I reckon, he's into more than your cooking skills.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, probably my kids as well. There's that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, not even real though.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Who's it makes it even better?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Does it?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah? The natural ones eventually end up being tucked into
your belt.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So when you're like, do you have to get them up,
like when you're like what you said it?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I did, but yeah, okay, what about him when I'm sixty.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, they're still going to like, sit Bolt upright, don't.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Sit Bolt up right now. I breastped three kids, so
they just look like normal titties. They look great.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I can't like any If I disagree, I'm a pig.
If I agree, I'm a pig. I'm a pig. Chris
and Girard. How was your book club on Friday? Amy Gerard?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It was great? Paigey, Yeah, I know where. I know
where you're going.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What book did you read for it? What was the
name of it? God of the Woods, God of the woods?
Was it good?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It was great?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
What happened at the end?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
A lot happened.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Did they find the missing.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
The ending is quite sad. I will say that you
didn't read it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You went to the club, you tried to get me
to read it for you. I got it out from
the library. I was going to do it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Why didn't you?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Because I'm boring as I tell you why.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Even my mom started reading it, she's like, I can't
kiss it's because it bopped around from nineteen seventy five
August nineteen seventy five, June, back to nineteen twenty, back
up to nineteen thirty five, and then in between all
these different years, you've got five or six different characters
that you're trying to learn about, and you just cannot
keep on.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Top of it all.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I did five and a half pages.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I did at least a third of the book, and
then chat GBT summarize the rest for me.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So is that so?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
AI?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You go, hey, read this book and give me a
sixty second blood No sounds smart.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
At the book club, you say, hey, this book God
of the Woods. Can you give me a thirty minute
summary of the entire book that I can read so
that I can head into the book club fully across
it all?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Why do people who hate reading go to book clubs?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I actually love reading, but I am a little bit
of a reading snob. If you don't hook me within
the first couple of chapters, I'm not pushing through.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
How many women were at this book club? I'm assuming
it was all women. Forty forty women? Yeah, a book club. Yeah,
that's how I imagine hell would be like. If you're
if you do bad things in this line, you go to.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Forty women a book club. It was great, white.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Cluck, cluck. I liked this. I'll tell you the plot
to every book my wife reads. This is her book club, right,
I lived happily ever after. Now it starts with a
fabulous woman, but she's just been hurt by a man,
so she needs to go on a shopping spree to
make herself feel better in Paris, where she meets a dark,
mysterious frenchman. The end, and they're all the same color
(08:37):
as well the book. There are all these pastel colors
with some cartoon woman holding a shopping bag on the front.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, you just go into your corner and read your
little Albert Einstein book?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Did you trick all forty women into Do they think
you read it?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think most people just came out from a sociability aspect.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
They came out. My wine was there at last wine, guys,
they got to taste that.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
There was cheese platters, there was mingling. I actually was
very honest. I said, you know, guys, I struggled reading.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
This book, but you said you read it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, of course I did.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
With anyone honest? Did anyone go sorry? I read the
first chapter and this is boring as crap I didn't
read it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Some people said they struggled to get into it. There
was other people who really loved the book.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It is very well written.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I actually think if you push through you'll like it
because it's lots of big words that were unnecessarily used.
Like for those people who are really big into like
fine literacy, they would enjoy that book.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Okay, well, if you're a pretentious flog and to read
God of the Woods, God of the Woods, yes, if
you're wearing a beret right now, check it out, you'll
love it. Chris my son Oscar, I'm starting to worry.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Is he your oldest or your youngest?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
How long do we knowing? I know your kids? Okay,
what Charlie's nine, Kobe's the middle one wrong?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Wrong? How long have we known?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeahs is the youngest, youngest you he's the smart guy.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oscar's got his moments.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Henry's like sorry, Henry's.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
The Henry's a genius, and Oscar.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oscar's the second born. All second borns are hell little
hell raisers.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, he's calling some proms. I told you a while ago.
Him and another kid were in this part of the
playground of the school. They weren't meant to be in
and some year six kids came to tell the kindie
kids they weren't meant to be there, and Oscar told
them to go off. So there was that. Anyway, he
brought a note home from school. He said, hey, Daddy,
can you and Georgie was still at work, Daddy, can
(10:45):
you sign this so I can just put it back
in my bag. I'm like, yeah, sure, what does it
give it to me? Oh? No, mummy, he's going to
be looking at this note as well. It was a
thing about the school's values, and it listed their values
integrity and kindness and all, and how Oscar had not
met those values. It was it was a naughty note.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So it was it was like het and we call
him a purple slip at our school. A purple yeah,
you get a purple slip. That's like you've basically been
told off.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, And this was a hole And the teacher obviously
sat down and written it like with Oscar, what did
he do wrong? He'd stolen some things off another kid?
What happened when the teacher said it to him? He
told the teacher to go away.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well, at least it wasn't so he's improved.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Go away is better? Ended up in the principal's office,
and it was like, what could he have done better?
You know, next time? And it's like, don't don't steal
things and respect the teacher.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, respect your elders look credit to him to.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Try to get dad to sign it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
He's a sneaky guy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You know what that tells me he's going to be
very bright as a child. I remember jen that I
work with the parenting educator. She said, if your kid
is like lying and being sneaky, it's actually a sign
of intelligence.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Okay at such a young age.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, so I mean I've obviously just run with that
with all three of my kids.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
They're going to cure cancer because they low to you
about what happened at school. Yeah, well we used to
do it at high school. Right. Did you forge your
like I can still do my mum's signature, I'm sure
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I used to skip school. Yeah, I would write in
a note. The next day. I'd turn up to school
with a handwritten note explaining my absence with my mum's signature,
which I had forged and mastered to a t like
it looked identical.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Did your teachers have a look at the note and go,
your mum's are moron the spelling eras.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, because I would type it and then forge it
with a biro penal.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Check. Yeah, I'm just going to look at this jam page.
I can do it perfectly. There you go the muscle
at that. Let me it's my mum's signature. Perfect Give
you the pen'll do you can only afford one.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'll do, Sally and cop.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
There you go like it was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I could go into a bank right now and just
sign away her money. I was very bad as a kid.
Do you remember when I think I've told you this story?
When I was at wool Worst and I used to
work as a checkout chick, and I decided that I
for some reason didn't want to go to my shift
one day, and my mom had turned up to see
me at work and couldn't see me on any of
the registers. So she'd gone up to the front desk
(13:20):
and she said, is Amy working today? And the lady goes, oh, no,
she's had to call linsick. Her mother's had a stroke.
And my mom, God, lover, she just absolutely she could
have thrown me under the bus then and there.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I would have lost my job.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Probably she just composed herself. She held it together. She
didn't sell me out.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
She's not a snitch.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I'm trying to think of, Yeah, some cool gangster.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Saying snitches get stitches.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
It just gets stitches.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Nut.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
She held it, She held it tight.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
She didn't pretend she'd had a stroke, did she. No, No,
one side of her face go limp and start dribbling
at the bot.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I got a serving when I got home. Obviously, she
was like, how was your shift? I was like, I
was really good, and she was like, cut the bullshit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Amy, How would you feel if I did have a stroke, Zach,
This is weird old guy that lives on our street.
He was standing in his front yard the other day
having a stroke. Chris, tell you what aims the cost
of Living's crazy, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It's literally one thing after the other.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The new one is Netflix is they're jacking up the
prices of Netflix again, and you don't notice because you've
got the subscription right and they just put the prices
up and it just starts keeps coming out.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Are they allowed to do that though, Yeah, they have
to let you know that the price has gone up.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well, yeah, they tell you. But okay, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No one pays any attention.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, because you've learned you can't live without it now. Yeah,
it was they're addicted.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
They're like drug dealers. When they give you the they
give the kids the heroine for free. Okay, it's going
up to twenty one dollars a month.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Wait, wait, basic twenty one. I thought it was like
eight dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It was eight ninety nine a month when it launched.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
When did they launch?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
The House of Cards was the big show. It was
when Kevin Spacey wasn't a sex pest. That's how long
ago it was.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I just feel like everything in the world goes up,
like even paddle pops.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, it does shock you those things because when you
used to go to the servo and get an ice cream,
and I was always you could get the one for
under a dollar, anything for under a dollar, so it
was a paddle pop or a clippo, and the Magnums
were the first two dollar ice cream, remember that.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
When I was a little kid, I would save up
all my twenty fifty cent coins, go up to the
shop and I'd be able to buy a whole heap
of lollies and an ice cream, or I'd be able
to go and get like hot chips with gravy for
a dollar fifty.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Bad.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Any frogs and a red skin, you can't have that anymore.
They canceled red skins.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yes they did.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
What else have they canceled Eskimo bars? Remember an Eskimo bar?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You can't go gollywogs? Remember those biscuits? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Golliwogs. Yeah, I've got a gollygog at home.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I must admit.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It was from my grandma. When my grandma passed, They're like,
do you want anything from a house you can go through?
And I'm like, I'd take the golliwog just because it's
sort of a blast from the past thing and it's funny.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Bring it in.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know that I will bring it into work.
It might be a great idea. Anyway. Netflix has gone up.
But the problem now is you get all the streamers
when they launch their six bucks eight bucks, and you go, yeah, sure,
we'll get Disney, we'll get Amazon, and then the prices
creep up and there's stuff you want to watch on
all of them.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
This is my biggest problem. There's shows that I watch
across all of.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
The different streaming channels, Like I've got a show that
I like on stand Binge, Paramount Apple, Netflix, Apple TV
is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
There's the extra add ons as well, like now when
you're in Amazon, it shows you things that are Paramount
Plus and that's the separate arm of Amazon.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Or if you want to watch a movie, it's like, oh,
you can watch this movie and we're showing it in
Paramount Plus, but you got to pay eight dollars to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And there's another one. Now. I saw some movie the
other day that had the lock thing on it. I
couldn't watch it because it's part of lions Gate Plus Go. Sorry,
Lion's Gate.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You can't take on another one.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
You're not a big enough studio to have lions Gate Plus.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I feel like they are a really big studio.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
But what they'll do is what I find they all do,
is they launched with a really really cool series that
everyone wants to watch, and then you get that like fomo,
if you don't have it exactly right next minute.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Then you're stuck with that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Or you're like me and you did a thirty day
free trial and then you forget and you've just paid
for a year.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh that's how they get. They get everyone with the
free trial. Who's canceling, who's setting the alarm on their
phone to cancel that up to twenty nine days? No,
not me, no one. Chris.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So you've watched the movie Dennis and Menace.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Uh? Yeah, yeas Walter Mathow was the grumpy old man
next door. Right.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Can I just say, if you haven't watched Dennis and Menace,
you have to watch it with your kids. It is
such a funny movie. It's such a good movie, and
my kids loved it so obviously the old man in
Dennis Menace is your kind of typical cliche grumpy old man.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Dennis is the boy next door, kind of sweet.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But your typical child who's very blissfully unaware of how
annoying they are.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Right, I feel like i'd be watching the movie and like,
on the old man's side.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You are definitely the old man.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Now he's meant to be the villain. Yeah, it's like
in Titanic, was I the only one rooting for Billy
Zane getting cheated on?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Definitely the old man.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, my kids, I think we've actually discovered an old
and a very grumpy old man living in our suburbs.
So my kids who are always outside a lot of
the other kids in the street.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I call them the BMX bandits.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's like this bite gang and they go riding around
outdoors all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
They terrorizing the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well, no they don't. They they're always down on the
fire trails.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They're building jumps right, doing shit to injure themselves. But
you know what, they're outdoors and I'm happy with that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Now, there's this.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Fire trail near where we live, and they've been going there,
and they came home a couple of days ago and
they said, oh, there's this really grumpy old man who's
basically been rousing on them. Get off my property. Get
away from my backyard. Anyway, it's not.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
His standal ground man.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, it's not his property. It's the fire trail.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And yes, it's at the back of his backyard, but
they're not doing anything that's on his property, so he
can't chew them away. However, there is probably about twelve
of them, or maybe ten young boys, and they're all
congregating at the back of his lawn and he is
just getting.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Angrier and angrier.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And now it's almost become this thing for the kids
to do.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
They're like, yeah, let's go around to Eddie's. They call
him grumpy Joe or something.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Tell the listeners what you called the old man. I've
got the beet ready go And what did you say
he was?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I said he's a miserable old Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Anyway, some of the parents have gone round to kind
of just make sure that you know this guy is
like okay, because.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The kids could be going, hey, there's this old man.
He yells at us about I mean, he could be
a psycho or a job well he is.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So he's basically had to go at one the dads.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And then the mom has turned up another day to
be like, hey, you know, the kids are just riding
their bikes and he's called her a ugly cow and
sent her like is she no, she's not ugly.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
No, she's actually a really beautiful girl.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And then yesterday my kids were riding and they rode
around these shops and he happened to be at the shops,
probably getting himself a coffee or something, and he's wound
down his window when he's hurling abuse at them from
the car.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Obviously he's a little bit deranged.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Did he know they were the same kids that his property,
or did he just yell at all kids on bikes?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, I think he knows. I think he's probably clocked them.
He said to my neighbor, I'm going to start taking
photos of them.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
She goes, well, that's illegal. You'll get in trouble. He goes,
I'm going to call the cops.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And go, hey, I'm an old man taking photos of kids.
Get around here at coppers and they're like, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Will, we will, and you'll be getting arrested. But I
feel like we're living out the Dennis the Menace movie.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah right, I reckon are you that?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Are you the grumpy of me? And do you rouse
on the kids that ride past your Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
The kids know who not to come and make any
noise around my house.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, you're out there with your hose.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I stand at the front of the house watering the lawn.
You're wearing nothing but gum boots and a fishing hat.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Haha. That will deter them. I mean, Grumpy Joe might
he might need to Scrumpy Joe.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
He's just living his twilight years. Want some peace, and well,
you know what I.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Said, I said, We're gonna have to send Ryan round
because Ryan is actually a heavy set man, and he's
tall and broad. Just his physique alone is quite intimidating
to intimidator pension. I want him over to be like hey,
because Ryan will sand his ground. He will absolutely lead
with kindness and softness, and he'll you know, he'll try and.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Peace keep, but he'll be monstering over him, physical and intimidating.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
There's another guy in my street who's very small and little,
and he goes, I can't go over there, It'll escalate.
I was like, small man syndrome.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
How do you get rid of an old man?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
COVID? Oh yeah, do you know anyone with COVID?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Or just like a little push down the stairs?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Can we say that, Oh we're getting the wind up here? Yeah, okay,
don't do either of those, apparently. Chris Ard Genevieve Hegney
is a great Australian actress. You might have seen her
in Colin from Accounts. We've got her in This Morning
Amy because she's a part of some awesome nights coming
(22:39):
up around Australia for Taylor Swift fans. Tonight in Melbourne.
I'm told it's the Ultimate Swifties Party, is hi.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
That's exactly right, and it's tonight at the Emerson.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And is this the under eighteen's one or is this
for the adult This is a great question.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
There's two in the day, so one is going to
be like a three hour day party, which I think
is twelve to three, and then there's a five to
eight week can bring your besties or your lovers, Oh,
you bring them if you want, or just bestie is
probably he's probably to be honest, it's better. And you've
got cocktails, you know, Taylor themed drinky things. Okay to eight,
but you can still be home by nine point thirty.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Nice. And there's going to be Taylor Swift themed dancing.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
With Jessica Ruffer, who's from Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
She's going to choreograph dances. And I guess they needed
someone who couldn't dance, you know me. I mean that's
a I can dance, but only in the DF I
can't do a move, but I'm gonna try. Like Taylor's
not Beyonce in the sense that her dances won't be
that hard.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
There's no like grinding, grinding, because.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
She is a little and I'll get hate from the
swiftiest for saying time hate Swifty. My wife said this
watching the concert on Disney. She is a bit daggy
like with her dance. She's not a professional dancer. She's
a normal person.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
My lovely friend Seles Barber, she has a little bit
about the Taylor Swift dancing where she goes, you know,
you feel like you can do it, you know what
I mean. Like, she's like, there's some because she loves
Janet Jackson. She's like, you can't do j Jackson. She's
with Taylor, just grab something and do it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, two steps.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Are you allowed to say that it's white girl dancing?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Oh, I'm I think because she's so whole, she's so
wholesome and country, and she's.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Probably busy being an absolute genius of songwriting. Yes, Like
does she have to do everything? Probably not. No, The
women need to write a lot of good songs.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And they said they're doing a lot of good for
the world, particularly for women. And this is a really
interesting cause that some of the money from these events
goes to Can you tell us about things?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Share the Dignity. Yeah, they're partnered up, so they rounded
up with that charity.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
It's a group that's trying to end period poverty in Australia,
which I didn't even think of as an issue. But
if you're homeless, or if you're someone fleeing domestic violence,
or if you're just poor in a time when like
Lynch chocolate costs eight dollars fifty I noticed last week,
you know, period products are really expensive, and so they
distribute period products and put apparently there was a vending
machine put into, you know, to so homeless people can
(24:54):
get free products. And it's hard enough to have a period,
that's the truth. And if you need to get to
school or work and you don't have the products, you
literally can't do it. So they're just trying to, you know,
help everyone so that women aren't disadvantaging yet another way.
I feel like Taylor would be p out, would she
I think she would be.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I think she would be. I think she will be.
And I'm really glad she.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Took her advice on getting engaged because we asked her.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
To because you were like, guys, we're about to throw
this like.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
We're about to throw this party taite And she was like, well,
do you maybe get engaged?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And we were like yeah, And I actually was still
a girlfriend of mine after we discovered that she got engaged,
and she's like, there's actually no bad outcome here. We're
either going to get the most ridiculously like uplifting love
album or eventually.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
We'll get a divorce one. And I was like, no,
she's not getting but like.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Be in love for a bit and then go through that.
I had some kids, and I'm so tired, because.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
What's the album going to be about when they when
she has been happily married.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It'll be about her children.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
They shoes off and just leave them on the floor.
That's not a good song.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
But wait for a second, isn't it, Because when Taylor
writes it, it probably will be Chris It was called shoes
on the Floor.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Every mom, every mom in the world can relate it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Dirty, yes, yes, so good.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
And at this event and can I plug there's this
great apparently so there's this abut show called Burning Red
where this woman does Taylor Swift Natalie James. She's going
to be singing and she sounds.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Exactly like exactly the same.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
There's going to be the choreographed dancing, and then they're
going to have a one hour megamix where they kind
of like put all Taylor Swift songs together and when
you go home, you get to have the link as well,
so you can just relive. And there's bracelet making and
that's like bitter tattoos, and then there's the best stressed
and I'm going to judge that with Jessica Rafferson where
you're swifty outfits.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, okay, it's going to be like the Eras tour
again where everyone comes in like a different era and
well that's exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And it's going to just be three hours of amazingness.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I reckon you be touring soon.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
They keep stacking more in the party. I'm like, guys,
the tickets aren't that exactly. I can't believe you're getting

Amy Gerard, You're doing good.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You know what I'm really happy about that today is
the final day of winter.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I did not know you had that.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Please. I hate winter. I like what you like winter, yeah,
but I'm over it.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I had enough winter.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I like it for a little bit. I love getting
the firewood and sticking up, and now I've had enough.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It just plays havoc with my mood. I am a
better person when the sun is out.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Truly cracked. The sads, which is what they call it
in London, the seasonal effective disorder, exactly because it's a
miserable city. So everyone's missing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's not a miserable city. The weather is miserable. It's
a real it's a real thing. I had it the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Time I was over there, so I had to make
short trips to Croatia and Cyprus and the Greek Islands
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
God, you're a battler, Ami, I've done it, really tough anyway,
I see you later.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Winter searbye, don't call me, I'll call you.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Although one side effective winter, something happened to me, a
lovely occurrence that reaffirmed my in humanity, particularly young people.
I got caught in the city in the rain. It
absolutely just came out of nowhere, started pouring down, and
I was standing there, stuck at the traffic lights, getting drenched.
A schoolgirl runs up to me with her umbrella and
(02:01):
stands next to me and protects me from the rain.
And she was this lovely gone she raining so hard.
Are you okay? You don't have an umbrella? And she
walks She's.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Probably like, you are an idiot, Sure is your umbrella?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So that, and she walked me across the road with
the thing like I was an old lady, because we
were told as young men, you know, helping old ladies
across the road.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I think there's so many good people in humanity.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I have similar situation, did a PLARTI class, and there
was a lady who walked me all the way to
my car because I also was a more.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
On her who hadn't brought an umbrella.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, when it'd been torrential raining, so there's good there's
good eggs still out there.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well done. They're teaching the kids of today to help
old alcoholics when it's when it's raining. Chris but aims, well,
I'm getting old, and you know that. I'm forty two.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But you're only two and a half years older than me.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, but I'm older than forty two. I think in
like I'm an old person.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, you definitely are.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You're forty two, but I feel like you're actually about seventy.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm a bit Get off my lawn. You're for forty.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
You are right, you're a grumpy old man.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm grand Terino, but I'm the opposite.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I'm like thirty nine, but in my head, I'm still
twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, okay, your Sabrina carp and I am Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah pretty much.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So I'm turning into my dad. I walk around the house,
you know, turning off lights when people aren't in the rooms,
going why the lights on? Our electricity bills through the roof.
Except that actually is now I'm finding pleasure in saving money.
You actually sorry, this is boring as hell as and
I can see you. I know when I'm bored.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's like I'm talking to my own dad.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, you're right. But when I'm bored of my own store,
you go, it's bad radio.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Just come on hit me.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I was going to tell you about something I bought
at Aldi. Okay, and it's good. You've got to check
it out.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I've got an Audi story for you too.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Everyone's got their Aldi specials they go to. Tried the
Indian roasty bread from Aldi from the freezer.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Section, Okay, in the oven, no eight pack.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And you put it in the fry pan, not the air.
Maybe a little bit maybe even a tiny bit of butter,
but it gets all light and fluffy and honest, it
was like restaurant roty bread. And we had it with
the Aldi beef massimine.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Well, when I first started dating Ryan, I hate cooking,
and he had just come out of this long term
relationship with an Italian woman, and I was like, oh,
well excuse me.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh it cooking.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, okay, yeah. I remember he came over the first
couple of times and I said, oh, I'll make dinner.
I'll make dinner.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And then I went to Audi and my girlfriend actually
gave me the heads up about this. She said, go
into Audi. They've got this chicken pesto pasta with sun
dried tomatoes and all of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Chuck it in the oven and it's so good. So
I made that.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then I cooked it all and then I transferred
it into like a casserole dish like I'd cooked it myself.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Grated some more cheese over the top.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So as he walked in the door, here I am
Nigella Lawson pulling out this beautiful looking pasta bake and
I've served it up to him with some garlic bread
and a glass of wine. And he was like, wow,
this is so good, and I was like, yes it is.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's just an old recipe of my mom's.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So he's gone from an Italian woman serving him up
authentic food just like Mama used to make back in Sicily,
to an Aldi special.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, and can I tell you it's stacked up, guys,
it's stacked up.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
He was very impressed. He's now my husband.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I reckon, he's into more than your cooking skills.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, probably my kids as well. There's that.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, not even real though.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Who's it makes it even better?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Does it?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah? The natural ones eventually end up being tucked into
your belt.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
So when you're like, do you have to get them up,
like when you're like what you said it?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I did, but yeah, okay, what about him when I'm sixty.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, they're still going to like, sit Bolt upright, don't.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Sit Bolt up right now. I breastped three kids, so
they just look like normal titties. They look great.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I can't like any If I disagree, I'm a pig.
If I agree, I'm a pig. I'm a pig. Chris
and Girard. How was your book club on Friday? Amy Gerard?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
It was great? Paigey, Yeah, I know where. I know
where you're going.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
What book did you read for it? What was the
name of it? God of the Woods, God of the woods?
Was it good?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It was great?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
What happened at the end?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
A lot happened.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Did they find the missing.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
The ending is quite sad. I will say that you
didn't read it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You went to the club, you tried to get me
to read it for you. I got it out from
the library. I was going to do it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Why didn't you?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Because I'm boring as I tell you why.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Even my mom started reading it, she's like, I can't
kiss it's because it bopped around from nineteen seventy five
August nineteen seventy five, June, back to nineteen twenty, back
up to nineteen thirty five, and then in between all
these different years, you've got five or six different characters
that you're trying to learn about, and you just cannot
keep on.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Top of it all.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I did five and a half pages.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I did at least a third of the book, and
then chat GBT summarize the rest for me.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So is that so?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
AI?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
You go, hey, read this book and give me a
sixty second blood No sounds smart.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
At the book club, you say, hey, this book God
of the Woods. Can you give me a thirty minute
summary of the entire book that I can read so
that I can head into the book club fully across
it all?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Why do people who hate reading go to book clubs?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I actually love reading, but I am a little bit
of a reading snob. If you don't hook me within
the first couple of chapters, I'm not pushing through.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
How many women were at this book club? I'm assuming
it was all women. Forty forty women? Yeah, a book club. Yeah,
that's how I imagine hell would be like. If you're
if you do bad things in this line, you go to.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Forty women a book club. It was great, white.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Cluck, cluck. I liked this. I'll tell you the plot
to every book my wife reads. This is her book club, right,
I lived happily ever after. Now it starts with a
fabulous woman, but she's just been hurt by a man,
so she needs to go on a shopping spree to
make herself feel better in Paris, where she meets a dark,
mysterious frenchman. The end, and they're all the same color
(08:37):
as well the book. There are all these pastel colors
with some cartoon woman holding a shopping bag on the front.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, you just go into your corner and read your
little Albert Einstein book?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Did you trick all forty women into Do they think
you read it?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think most people just came out from a sociability aspect.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
They came out. My wine was there at last wine, guys,
they got to taste that.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
There was cheese platters, there was mingling. I actually was
very honest. I said, you know, guys, I struggled reading.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
This book, but you said you read it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, of course I did.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
With anyone honest? Did anyone go sorry? I read the
first chapter and this is boring as crap I didn't
read it.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Some people said they struggled to get into it. There
was other people who really loved the book.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It is very well written.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I actually think if you push through you'll like it
because it's lots of big words that were unnecessarily used.
Like for those people who are really big into like
fine literacy, they would enjoy that book.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Okay, well, if you're a pretentious flog and to read
God of the Woods, God of the Woods, yes, if
you're wearing a beret right now, check it out, you'll
love it. Chris my son Oscar, I'm starting to worry.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Is he your oldest or your youngest?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
How long do we knowing? I know your kids? Okay,

Henry's like sorry, Henry's.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
The Henry's a genius, and Oscar.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oscar's the second born. All second borns are hell little
hell raisers.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, he's calling some proms. I told you a while ago.
Him and another kid were in this part of the
playground of the school. They weren't meant to be in
and some year six kids came to tell the kindie
kids they weren't meant to be there, and Oscar told
them to go off. So there was that. Anyway, he
brought a note home from school. He said, hey, Daddy,
can you and Georgie was still at work, Daddy, can
(10:45):
you sign this so I can just put it back
in my bag. I'm like, yeah, sure, what does it
give it to me? Oh? No, mummy, he's going to
be looking at this note as well. It was a
thing about the school's values, and it listed their values
integrity and kindness and all, and how Oscar had not
met those values. It was it was a naughty note.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So it was it was like het and we call
him a purple slip at our school. A purple yeah,
you get a purple slip. That's like you've basically been
told off.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, And this was a hole And the teacher obviously
sat down and written it like with Oscar, what did
he do wrong? He'd stolen some things off another kid?
What happened when the teacher said it to him? He
told the teacher to go away.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Well, at least it wasn't so he's improved.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Go away is better? Ended up in the principal's office,
and it was like, what could he have done better?
You know, next time? And it's like, don't don't steal
things and respect the teacher.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, respect your elders look credit to him to.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Try to get dad to sign it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
He's a sneaky guy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
You know what that tells me he's going to be
very bright as a child. I remember jen that I
work with the parenting educator. She said, if your kid
is like lying and being sneaky, it's actually a sign
of intelligence.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Okay at such a young age.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, so I mean I've obviously just run with that
with all three of my kids.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
They're going to cure cancer because they low to you
about what happened at school. Yeah, well we used to
do it at high school. Right. Did you forge your
like I can still do my mum's signature, I'm sure
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I used to skip school. Yeah, I would write in
a note. The next day. I'd turn up to school
with a handwritten note explaining my absence with my mum's signature,
which I had forged and mastered to a t like
it looked identical.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Did your teachers have a look at the note and go,
your mum's are moron the spelling eras.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, because I would type it and then forge it
with a biro penal.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Check. Yeah, I'm just going to look at this jam page.
I can do it perfectly. There you go the muscle
at that. Let me it's my mum's signature. Perfect Give
you the pen'll do you can only afford one.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'll do, Sally and cop.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
There you go like it was yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I could go into a bank right now and just
sign away her money. I was very bad as a kid.
Do you remember when I think I've told you this story?
When I was at wool Worst and I used to
work as a checkout chick, and I decided that I
for some reason didn't want to go to my shift
one day, and my mom had turned up to see
me at work and couldn't see me on any of
the registers. So she'd gone up to the front desk
(13:20):
and she said, is Amy working today? And the lady goes, oh, no,
she's had to call linsick. Her mother's had a stroke.
And my mom, God, lover, she just absolutely she could
have thrown me under the bus then and there.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I would have lost my job.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Probably she just composed herself. She held it together. She
didn't sell me out.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
She's not a snitch.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I'm trying to think of, Yeah, some cool gangster.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Saying snitches get stitches.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
It just gets stitches.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Nut.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
She held it, She held it tight.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
She didn't pretend she'd had a stroke, did she. No, No,
one side of her face go limp and start dribbling
at the bot.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I got a serving when I got home. Obviously, she
was like, how was your shift? I was like, I
was really good, and she was like, cut the bullshit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Amy, How would you feel if I did have a stroke, Zach,
This is weird old guy that lives on our street.
He was standing in his front yard the other day
having a stroke. Chris, tell you what aims the cost
of Living's crazy, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It's literally one thing after the other.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The new one is Netflix is they're jacking up the
prices of Netflix again, and you don't notice because you've
got the subscription right and they just put the prices
up and it just starts keeps coming out.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Are they allowed to do that though, Yeah, they have
to let you know that the price has gone up.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well, yeah, they tell you. But okay, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No one pays any attention.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, because you've learned you can't live without it now. Yeah,
it was they're addicted.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
They're like drug dealers. When they give you the they
give the kids the heroine for free. Okay, it's going
up to twenty one dollars a month.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Wait, wait, basic twenty one. I thought it was like
eight dollars.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
It was eight ninety nine a month when it launched.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
When did they launch?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
The House of Cards was the big show. It was
when Kevin Spacey wasn't a sex pest. That's how long
ago it was.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I just feel like everything in the world goes up,
like even paddle pops.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, it does shock you those things because when you
used to go to the servo and get an ice cream,
and I was always you could get the one for
under a dollar, anything for under a dollar, so it
was a paddle pop or a clippo, and the Magnums
were the first two dollar ice cream, remember that.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
When I was a little kid, I would save up
all my twenty fifty cent coins, go up to the
shop and I'd be able to buy a whole heap
of lollies and an ice cream, or I'd be able
to go and get like hot chips with gravy for
a dollar fifty.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Bad.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Any frogs and a red skin, you can't have that anymore.
They canceled red skins.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Yes they did.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
What else have they canceled Eskimo bars? Remember an Eskimo bar?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You can't go gollywogs? Remember those biscuits? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Golliwogs. Yeah, I've got a gollygog at home.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
I must admit.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It was from my grandma. When my grandma passed, They're like,
do you want anything from a house you can go through?
And I'm like, I'd take the golliwog just because it's
sort of a blast from the past thing and it's funny.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Bring it in.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't know that I will bring it into work.
It might be a great idea. Anyway. Netflix has gone up.
But the problem now is you get all the streamers
when they launch their six bucks eight bucks, and you go, yeah, sure,
we'll get Disney, we'll get Amazon, and then the prices
creep up and there's stuff you want to watch on
all of them.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
This is my biggest problem. There's shows that I watch
across all of.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
The different streaming channels, Like I've got a show that
I like on stand Binge, Paramount Apple, Netflix, Apple TV
is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
There's the extra add ons as well, like now when
you're in Amazon, it shows you things that are Paramount
Plus and that's the separate arm of Amazon.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Or if you want to watch a movie, it's like, oh,
you can watch this movie and we're showing it in
Paramount Plus, but you got to pay eight dollars to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And there's another one. Now. I saw some movie the
other day that had the lock thing on it. I
couldn't watch it because it's part of lions Gate Plus Go. Sorry,
Lion's Gate.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You can't take on another one.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
You're not a big enough studio to have lions Gate Plus.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I feel like they are a really big studio.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
But what they'll do is what I find they all do,
is they launched with a really really cool series that
everyone wants to watch, and then you get that like fomo,
if you don't have it exactly right next minute.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Then you're stuck with that.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Or you're like me and you did a thirty day
free trial and then you forget and you've just paid
for a year.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Oh that's how they get. They get everyone with the
free trial. Who's canceling, who's setting the alarm on their
phone to cancel that up to twenty nine days? No,
not me, no one. Chris.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So you've watched the movie Dennis and Menace.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Uh? Yeah, yeas Walter Mathow was the grumpy old man
next door. Right.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Can I just say, if you haven't watched Dennis and Menace,
you have to watch it with your kids. It is
such a funny movie. It's such a good movie, and
my kids loved it so obviously the old man in
Dennis Menace is your kind of typical cliche grumpy old man.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Dennis is the boy next door, kind of sweet.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But your typical child who's very blissfully unaware of how
annoying they are.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Right, I feel like i'd be watching the movie and like,
on the old man's side.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
You are definitely the old man.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Now he's meant to be the villain. Yeah, it's like
in Titanic, was I the only one rooting for Billy
Zane getting cheated on?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Definitely the old man.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, my kids, I think we've actually discovered an old
and a very grumpy old man living in our suburbs.
So my kids who are always outside a lot of
the other kids in the street.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I call them the BMX bandits.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
It's like this bite gang and they go riding around
outdoors all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
They terrorizing the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Well, no they don't. They they're always down on the
fire trails.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They're building jumps right, doing shit to injure themselves. But
you know what, they're outdoors and I'm happy with that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Now, there's this.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Fire trail near where we live, and they've been going there,
and they came home a couple of days ago and
they said, oh, there's this really grumpy old man who's
basically been rousing on them. Get off my property. Get
away from my backyard. Anyway, it's not.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
His standal ground man.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, it's not his property. It's the fire trail.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And yes, it's at the back of his backyard, but
they're not doing anything that's on his property, so he
can't chew them away. However, there is probably about twelve
of them, or maybe ten young boys, and they're all
congregating at the back of his lawn and he is
just getting.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Angrier and angrier.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
And now it's almost become this thing for the kids
to do.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
They're like, yeah, let's go around to Eddie's. They call
him grumpy Joe or something.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Tell the listeners what you called the old man. I've
got the beet ready go And what did you say
he was?
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I said he's a miserable old Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Anyway, some of the parents have gone round to kind
of just make sure that you know this guy is
like okay, because.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
The kids could be going, hey, there's this old man.
He yells at us about I mean, he could be
a psycho or a job well he is.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So he's basically had to go at one the dads.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And then the mom has turned up another day to
be like, hey, you know, the kids are just riding
their bikes and he's called her a ugly cow and
sent her like is she no, she's not ugly.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
No, she's actually a really beautiful girl.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
And then yesterday my kids were riding and they rode
around these shops and he happened to be at the shops,
probably getting himself a coffee or something, and he's wound
down his window when he's hurling abuse at them from
the car.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Obviously he's a little bit deranged.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Did he know they were the same kids that his property,
or did he just yell at all kids on bikes?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, I think he knows. I think he's probably clocked them.
He said to my neighbor, I'm going to start taking
photos of them.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
She goes, well, that's illegal. You'll get in trouble. He goes,
I'm going to call the cops.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And go, hey, I'm an old man taking photos of kids.
Get around here at coppers and they're like, yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Will, we will, and you'll be getting arrested. But I
feel like we're living out the Dennis the Menace movie.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah right, I reckon are you that?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Are you the grumpy of me? And do you rouse
on the kids that ride past your Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
The kids know who not to come and make any
noise around my house.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, you're out there with your hose.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I stand at the front of the house watering the lawn.
You're wearing nothing but gum boots and a fishing hat.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Haha. That will deter them. I mean, Grumpy Joe might
he might need to Scrumpy Joe.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
He's just living his twilight years. Want some peace, and well,
you know what I.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Said, I said, We're gonna have to send Ryan round
because Ryan is actually a heavy set man, and he's
tall and broad. Just his physique alone is quite intimidating
to intimidator pension. I want him over to be like hey,
because Ryan will sand his ground. He will absolutely lead
with kindness and softness, and he'll you know, he'll try and.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Peace keep, but he'll be monstering over him, physical and intimidating.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
There's another guy in my street who's very small and little,
and he goes, I can't go over there, It'll escalate.
I was like, small man syndrome.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
How do you get rid of an old man?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
COVID? Oh yeah, do you know anyone with COVID?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Or just like a little push down the stairs?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Can we say that, Oh we're getting the wind up here? Yeah, okay,
don't do either of those, apparently. Chris Ard Genevieve Hegney
is a great Australian actress. You might have seen her
in Colin from Accounts. We've got her in This Morning
Amy because she's a part of some awesome nights coming
(22:39):
up around Australia for Taylor Swift fans. Tonight in Melbourne.
I'm told it's the Ultimate Swifties Party, is hi.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
That's exactly right, and it's tonight at the Emerson.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
And is this the under eighteen's one or is this
for the adult This is a great question.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
There's two in the day, so one is going to
be like a three hour day party, which I think
is twelve to three, and then there's a five to
eight week can bring your besties or your lovers, Oh,
you bring them if you want, or just bestie is
probably he's probably to be honest, it's better. And you've
got cocktails, you know, Taylor themed drinky things. Okay to eight,
but you can still be home by nine point thirty.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Nice. And there's going to be Taylor Swift themed dancing.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
With Jessica Ruffer, who's from Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Amazing.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
She's going to choreograph dances. And I guess they needed
someone who couldn't dance, you know me. I mean that's
a I can dance, but only in the DF I
can't do a move, but I'm gonna try. Like Taylor's
not Beyonce in the sense that her dances won't be
that hard.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
There's no like grinding, grinding, because.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
She is a little and I'll get hate from the
swiftiest for saying time hate Swifty. My wife said this
watching the concert on Disney. She is a bit daggy
like with her dance. She's not a professional dancer. She's
a normal person.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
My lovely friend Seles Barber, she has a little bit
about the Taylor Swift dancing where she goes, you know,
you feel like you can do it, you know what
I mean. Like, she's like, there's some because she loves
Janet Jackson. She's like, you can't do j Jackson. She's
with Taylor, just grab something and do it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, two steps.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Are you allowed to say that it's white girl dancing?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Oh, I'm I think because she's so whole, she's so
wholesome and country, and she's.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Probably busy being an absolute genius of songwriting. Yes, Like
does she have to do everything? Probably not. No, The
women need to write a lot of good songs.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And they said they're doing a lot of good for
the world, particularly for women. And this is a really
interesting cause that some of the money from these events
goes to Can you tell us about things?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Share the Dignity. Yeah, they're partnered up, so they rounded
up with that charity.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
It's a group that's trying to end period poverty in Australia,
which I didn't even think of as an issue. But
if you're homeless, or if you're someone fleeing domestic violence,
or if you're just poor in a time when like
Lynch chocolate costs eight dollars fifty I noticed last week,
you know, period products are really expensive, and so they
distribute period products and put apparently there was a vending
machine put into, you know, to so homeless people can
(24:54):
get free products. And it's hard enough to have a period,
that's the truth. And if you need to get to
school or work and you don't have the products, you
literally can't do it. So they're just trying to, you know,
help everyone so that women aren't disadvantaging yet another way.
I feel like Taylor would be p out, would she
I think she would be.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
I think she would be. I think she will be.
And I'm really glad she.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Took her advice on getting engaged because we asked her.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
To because you were like, guys, we're about to throw
this like.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
We're about to throw this party taite And she was like, well,
do you maybe get engaged?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And we were like yeah, And I actually was still
a girlfriend of mine after we discovered that she got engaged,
and she's like, there's actually no bad outcome here. We're
either going to get the most ridiculously like uplifting love
album or eventually.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
We'll get a divorce one. And I was like, no,
she's not getting but like.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Be in love for a bit and then go through that.
I had some kids, and I'm so tired, because.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
What's the album going to be about when they when
she has been happily married.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
It'll be about her children.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
They shoes off and just leave them on the floor.
That's not a good song.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
But wait for a second, isn't it, Because when Taylor
writes it, it probably will be Chris It was called shoes
on the Floor.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Every mom, every mom in the world can relate it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Dirty, yes, yes, so good.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
And at this event and can I plug there's this
great apparently so there's this abut show called Burning Red
where this woman does Taylor Swift Natalie James. She's going
to be singing and she sounds.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Exactly like exactly the same.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
There's going to be the choreographed dancing, and then they're
going to have a one hour megamix where they kind
of like put all Taylor Swift songs together and when
you go home, you get to have the link as well,
so you can just relive. And there's bracelet making and
that's like bitter tattoos, and then there's the best stressed
and I'm going to judge that with Jessica Rafferson where
you're swifty outfits.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, okay, it's going to be like the Eras tour
again where everyone comes in like a different era and
well that's exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And it's going to just be three hours of amazingness.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I reckon you be touring soon.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
They keep stacking more in the party. I'm like, guys,
the tickets aren't that exactly. I can't believe you're getting
all this?
