mention my penny, so I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That one said Chris, you cook steak and roast meat
to perfection.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah, not that even that sounded arousing. That was even
arousing for me.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Chris Gerard, you're rich. I see your Insta I see

Speaker 5 (04:50):

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And what about your fourteen hundred dollars stools that.
Speaker 5 (04:55):

to haunt me forever?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Also? I also have budgeted elsewhere.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I mean, I feel like I'm just coasting along in
the middle somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I want to hear from someone more disgustingly rich than
you are, And it's this boomer from an online social
media account.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They do street interviews. They go up and ask people
random questions.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
They asked this guy how much money he had and
his advice on saving haven't listened to this point.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
I made it three years of age and I have
probably ansets of about forty million.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Oh yeah, Meal, it's quite a lot. How did you accumulate.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Such a large anout work?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Do you have any tips and tricks on how people
can say?
Speaker 7 (05:36):
I think probably if you can do away with your
couple of coffees a day and things that are not necessary,
then it all helps leaning out and doing those sort
of things that you don't need to do. Check you
read at home. Yeah, just watch how you spend your pennies.
It's the main thing.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Don't buy coffees.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I was waiting for him to mention smashed ava.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And supersa boomers also talking about superannuation. But my dad
has always drilled into me, you look after the pounds
and the pennies will look after themselves.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
No way, shit, I'm start of the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
You look after the pennies and the pounds will look
after himself. And he tells me every single time he
sees me not.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
To buy a coffee.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That bloke, he's an old he's a liar, he is,
and he's.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Forty million dollars in assets, and he's what, he's mad
he's got that much money because he didn't buy himself
a coffee exactly. And also I feel like my dad
is like, don't eat out and don't do this, and
I'm like, and then you die of like cancer, and
you've got all this money and you haven't lived your
life because you're so obsessed with saving that you don't
enjoy your life.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I hate boomers, and they talk about this bloke would
have bought his house for.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Sixty seven No, seventeen thousand dollars. That's how much my parents.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Paid kids these days, they're no good with money.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, because the house is three million bus that's right,
you tossa rich people are height though.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
A friend of mine is a very good friend of
Hugh Jackman. Oh okay, you know Wolverine. So he's got
a few bucks, particularly after Deadpool and more band made
a billion dollars, gets cut of that.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So he wipes his backside with notes.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No, you'd think he would, he doesn't. My mate goes
over to visit him in New York, my mate Gussie.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
They're out on the town.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Jacko's driving and Gussy goes, oh, here's a parking station.
Hugh Jackman goes, No, there's one two blocks further down.
That's only twenty five dollars, not thirty five dollars or
whatever for the night. You go sorry, are you your wolverine?
You can't afford No.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
That is very common.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I've got a girlfriend who has been brought up with
a silver spoon in her mouth.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I remember going to a house.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
She's got a lift in internal lift and inclinator down
to the water.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Very very wealthy. I don't even know if.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
She's got a job, but she rents somewhere and pays
three grand a week.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Anyway, I've painted the picture for you.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
When you go out for dinner with her, if there's
a big it doesn't matter if she's had one wine
or shared a bottle, or had cocktails or something. She
will go through the menu like the items on each bill,
and she will only pay for what she's had. Like
I've been out for dinner with her and they've all
had wines, and I'm pregnant, and I'll just say split
(08:17):
the bill.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
If there's eight of us. Just split it eight ways.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It's how I get rich. I stay reach tight asses. Yeah, anyway,
I'm with you. We're all going to get cancer.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
That's a great way of looking at it, Amy, that's
a real positive outlook.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
We're all going to get cancer. So spend your money.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
No, I think there needs to be a happy medium.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You don't want to just save and save and save
and bunk it down and not live your life.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You also don't want to be careless with your money.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And just spend and spend and rent forever and have
no superannuation and not you know, leave anything for your.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Kids already, money for chemo.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You need to meet somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, a balance good. Yeah, there's our financial advice.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yes, do not take it, take it or take it
with the grain of salt.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
All right, We're going inside the secret society, the Facebook
mums group.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What have you ladies been chatting about all week?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups. Okay,
a mum has ridden in saying, Hey mums, I'm really
upset and I need some advice.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm hosting a birthday party.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
For my son in two weeks and I casually mentioned
it to a few mums at the park before I
had even sent out the invites.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Now here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
One of the other moms that was there then went
and booked the same day for her son's party before
I had sent out the invites. Now she's inviting half
the class, but she also hasn't invited my son. Bitch,
I'm furious that she'd just do this on purpose. Should
I confront her or should I just let it go
and focus on my own party? Any advice would be appreciated.
(09:49):
I'm really struggling with this big issue.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I mean, that's that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Is a real or she did she bite the son
because she knows he's having.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
His own birthday part that day. She's a dog, Yeah,
she's a low rat dog.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
She's a sewer rat.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Although did she say I'm having the party in two weeks?
That's that's not long.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I mean, that's that's your first mistake. Who isn't planned
already in two weeks? I have to give like six
weeks notice for my kids minimum.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And this is and nowadays, when you book a place,
you got a book Whizzy World.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Or some wiz yeah, yeah, yeah, because who wants to
have it at their house.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I think this is pretty pretty cutthroat, pretty nasty from
that other mum.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I don't know who's organizing a kid's birthday party.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Yeah, but you're stuck on the two weeks.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Move past that. That's not the question here at play.
The question is question what should she do?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Should she confront the mom?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes, she had stalk her at a workplace, and just like, yes,
don't you want my advice revenge?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
No, I don't want your advice on No.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
My go to yes, to get gravel to their house.
Get a ton of gravel and say I won't be home,
just leave it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
On the lawn.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I want to be the bigger person here and say
you know what, rise above it, yep, and just focus
on your own party. But what this dirty dog mum
has done is she's gotten ahead of this other mum
and started inviting the whole class.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, she's not your friend, Let that be known.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I would say that, be more careful about who you're
hanging out with and who you're talking to about your
kid's party plans.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah because this woman.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, but you know what, go head to head with her.
You hand out your invites and let the kids make
their own decision. Are they going to go to your
kids party or her kid's party?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You know what awesome invites? Yeah, but they have to
be really nice invitation.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Yeah, deliver them, get doves to deliver them.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yes, what's your selling point is buzz Light.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
You're going to be there, you have to go. You
have to one up this bitch.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yes, yeah, we had buzz Light as Henry no Oscar's party.
A grown man.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Buzz lightyear for a living and hangs out with children. Yeah,
it's a good not creepy as well.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I was so comfortable with it.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, it pays well. And you know what, in future,
don't drop any don't drop any hints.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
About birthdays planet earlier.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, no, don't planning move past it.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I know, but I'm trying to get the mind of
a woman.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
No, you'll never understand hanging.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
On to an issue and never dropping up anyway, There
it is, Chris. A fun news story here. It's a
woman named Chian Fox. So you know she's a classy
one just.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
From the name, well, probably a fake name.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
If you call your daughter chi Fox just so you know,
she'll be a strip. Okay, No, she's an only fans
aren't they all yeah, okay. So she fox rented a
billboard and drove around a very posh suburb of Sydney, Mossman, you.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Know, yes, I do. Yeah, very posh, the women.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
With plastic faces driving Porsche k Ns.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
And she paid two thousand dollars for this billboard that said,
are you rich, old and lonely?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I'm looking for a sugar daddy? And she's a photo
of her.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, has she got She looks like she's got a
white T shirt on with no bra and she's sitting
in a G string.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I mean it looks looks very appealing.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
You have you text her?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
This is oh wait, you're none of those. Oh you're
old and lonely, but you're not really.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I'm lucky.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Absolutely cow. This is the first t I'm hearing of it.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
So I will take note of this number, send it
round to your rich mates.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But old, rich, lonely. There are three prerequisites.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well, she's looking for a sugar daddy, I'm assuming so
they pass away relatively soon and she can take.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
On their money. I don't know. Yeah, why do they
need to be old?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Old men probably don't have as big a libido, maybe
like she's going to have to service them often.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
So she's wanting some guy who wants a hot date
to go out for dinner with and to be a
little bit of arm candy, pretty.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Young thing when he goes out to dinner at the
yacht club.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, okay, I understand. I mean a kudos to her
for having a crack. It's ballsy.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
If you if you put out a billboard looking for
a man, what would be your three things?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So hers a rich, old, lonely if I.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Was looking for a husband or something, Yeah, mine are
probably a bit corny.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I love a man with a sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh no, woman says that. But also you don't, Yes.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I do.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Every man that I've dated has a sense of humor,
and the ones that didn't, they got the boot. If
you don't have a sense of humor and you can't
laugh at things in life, you're a loser.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Okay, but you've got to be hot too.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
No looks to me just they fail. Person is key
sense of humor. I like a man who's family orientated.
No one's texting me.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
So you want a family orientated man who's replying to
a billboard out for effectively.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
And I need I know. I like a nice Bratworth
size sausage.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh right, that's a big one, right.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah, it's a big one, not a Frankfurt.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Not a big I don't like the long, skinny ones either.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
The big Salama.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I like the the Bratworth.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, nothing worse than a thin sausages.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Oh no, we just know. I like the pork and
fennel ones.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, salty, that's.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
What would go on mine, I reckon, that's I reckon.
That would rule a few people out.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
A sense of humor, family orientated with a big.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
With a big pork sausage. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, it's not much streams family value.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's not much to ask, is it, luck?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
What about you? What would you put on yours? Actually,
don't answer that. I already know be inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Rich rich, okay, young?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, I think those two.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Old rich birds. I want a young rich one.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah. I don't think they exist.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
They want yourn anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
No, anyway, it is time for Amy's favorite segment.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's back.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
I think that's good. The music I like, Yeah, play
it for me.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
My style Lions, Ryan, While why your silly.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Sausage, Your silly sausage? Listen, Ryan, has left me again.
He does a lot of traveling for work and he's
taken off down to Tasmania.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
He was away in Tasmania this week.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
And I know, as a mum of three children with
a care and stuff, I'm I'm meant to hate it
when he leaves because it all falls.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
On my shoulders and all of that. Who harp it.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I just feel like, and I really love him, but
my life is easier when he is not around.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
And I'll tell you why him I'm not happier. No,
I won't say I'm well, maybe I'm a little bit
happier happy. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
It's because when he is not there, I just I
know that it's all on me, and I just know
shit needs to get done, and I just I just
get it done.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
When he is there.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I have certain expectations and I'll do this, and then
Ryan can do this.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
And they're never met and so therefore I end up.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Being disappointed, and then there's resentment, and then that builds,
and then there's kind of fights that start escalating, and
then he is just as much a grub as my children.
So it feels like I've got four children that.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I'm looking after and.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So life's better when you have zero expectations. Yes, and
he's just not there, so you've just got nothing. Never
get your hopes up.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
And also Tasmania is it a work trip. It is
a work that's a good place. Like you know, he's
not getting up too much in taste.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
There's nothing in Tasmania most people.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
If you go in to Perth for a work trip,
there's a casino, the women are smoking hot.
Speaker 1 (18:18):

big man out here.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
There's women everywhere. I've got eyes on him everywhere.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
There's something to be said about having your own space
and holding myself accountable for the house being clean.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I have my little daughter. She sleeps in bed with me.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
She doesn't far all night long, she doesn't breath, she

I really love him and we have a great time together.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But he is a bit messy and a bit you

house and he does not.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
He's checking out the map of Tassy, Yes he is.
There's not one at home right there isn't well.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Done, Amy.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We have a great friend to the radio station as
our guest in the studio right now, Keisha Pettit is
the producer of The Pig the podcast Life I'm Cut
and has her own podcast as well called Cloud, which
is a ten part mini series about living with ADHD.
We topic right, well, we felt like we could relate
to that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I'm I'm officially.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
You're officially you've got the diagnosis. I am currently in
the process of being diagnosed. But we I mean, if
you've spent five minutes in a room with me, you
know that I have it.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Tell I've been told my whole life. I have it.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
It's just yeah, it's probably coming to a head now
and I desperately need.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
To seek help.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Keisha, welcome to the show. I'm guessing you have it.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Your official yes, right, imagine if I didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Podcast makes sense.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I'm an investigtive.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Journalist now, yeah, mine's of MEDHD. Yes, Yeah, I was diagnosed.
I was another late age diagnosed woman, which is something
that I think we're seeing a lot of, particularly on
social media at the moment, in which that you know,
we can get into that.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
If we want to.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But I was diagnosed at I think I was about
twenty nine. But I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety
back in twenty nineteen, so quite a few years beforehand,
and still to this day, I don't know whether that
was misdiagnosis or if it was maybe just you know
that they were the symptoms of the burnout from ADHD.
But at twenty nine, it was to the point where
I was really starting to feel the long term effects
(21:19):
of what you know that burnout from having ADHD can be.
And now that I know a lot more about the condition,
it actually makes a lot more sense. So the current
theories about it are basically that we have less dopamine
in certain areas of our brain, so things that have
to do with thought, you know, thought processing and decision
making and motivation.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That was a big one.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So knowing that now it makes a lot of sense
why I was feeling the way that I was.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I've got so many girlfriends who were misdiagnosed with anxiety
and depression because of those highs and lows that you
talk about, and that's something that rings true for me,
Like I have no gray area.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
I'm either such an upper or I'm so down.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I always talk about how my husband, Lucky Men has
two different wives and it's just but I've been like
that my whole life. Like you almost always know.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Your period plays a pretty big yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Coupled with my period and just my hormones who do
me dirty every month, it's the head noise as well.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
For me, it's the head noise.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Everything kind of came to a head for me when
I had three children and then tried to take on work.
And remember we spoke about last week, Paige and I.
Sometimes we have so much on our plate and then
we get out of the shower and we just sit
on the bed and we stare at the wall for
forty five minutes.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
And hour has passed and you're like, what the hell
just happened?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I just can that is the story of my life.
That's my entire personality at the moment.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So I think this is a really common experience though,
particularly for women, and you know, you feel as though
you're able to handle it all, yes, until for a
lot of them it's kids. For me, I don't necessarily
know what thing it was, but something happened in my life.
It was likely that my career kind of took a
look off and I was having to just process more
and that's when the burnout really really stuck its teeth
(23:04):
into me. And I think that it's very common now
for women, particularly of like our age YEP, that they
will realize that they've got ADHD because their kids are
diagnosed and it's a genetic component to it, and a
lot of them can be sitting in those psychiatrist appointments, going,
hang on a second, this sounds like me, This sounds
so true. And there was a part of me when
(23:24):
I got diagnosed. And I've had to have a lot
of conversations with my mum about this because there was
a part of me that was a little bit angry.
You know, I have the combined type, so I did
have the classic symptoms of ADHD as well as the
inattentive side. And there was a part where I was
just like, how didn't you notice, Like if you had
have known, how how much easier could my life have been?
(23:47):
Like did I have to struggle through as much as
what I did internally, like mentally struggle in the way
that I did. I don't think I would have if
you had have noticed, if you know, Like it was
in every single one of my school reports, they all
said the exact same thing. She has so much potential,
she jeopardizes other students learning capability, can't apply yourself, can't
apply yourself, always interrupting, too talkative, always off playing sports.
(24:11):
She's missing a lot of class. And I was like
it was written on the walls. And my mom said
this thing to me, and I actually feel really emotional
thinking about it, because I realized that in that moment
she was only you know, she only had the understanding
that she had. She can't retrofit now understandings of Adhd.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Well.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
She also said to me, Keisha, I thought that was
normal because I'm the same way. I thought that was normal,
and I was like, yes, mum, you have it too.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
The education wasn't there for them, right.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
My seven year old started KINDI and his teacher pulled
us aside and said, hey, I'm not a doctor. I
can't officially tell you this, but he's got ADHD go
and get and checked out. I picked up the book
Scattered Minds by Gable Marte. Amazing great book if you're
if you feel like you may be affected, check at
that book. I got halfway through the first chapter reading
(25:04):
it about my son and went, oh, it's.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Me and did you look at your life? And go?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I wasn't sure which one of them us he got
it from, but now I'm realizing it's.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
My fault I've given because.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
A few pages into the book there's everything I've got.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Describing Yeah, And isn't it lovely that he's teacher noticed,
you know? And that's the difference of like our generation
to their generation is that we have such a better
understanding of it now. And I think that's why there's
there is all this talk about everybody getting diagnosed now,
and it's like, yeah, because we're just realizing.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Thank you so much for the three of them.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
We could just go on and on.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's never a problem when everybody in the room exactly
thank you so much having me guys, thank you
Yes, sir, let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Let's good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:10):

Good morning, You're good, you look fresh, happy Sunday.

Have you had some sleep? Finally, I've had.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
A little bit of sleep.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I've had a really lousy week, so I feel like
I've got about forty eight hours of catching up on.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
So you got some your hands on some xanax or
some value or something last night.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
No, I actually just had a herbal tea and took melotonin.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
That's a lot I've taken. You had two bottles of
wine and pass out.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I have a laying load this weekend. Yeah, the blob.
The BLOB's here.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The blob apparently. So, Chris, you are right.
Speaker 4 (00:52):

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I said you were going to do this, that I've
been doing something behind my wife's back.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah, And I didn't want to just directly message her.
So I'm hoping that she's listening so she can hear this.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Well, it's the things that you've.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Been doing, like on your phone, things that you've been
doing when you disappear into the toilets.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It's all to do with the duo lingo.

App that you've been spending a fair amount of time
on see Senora.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, I've been learning Espanol.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
And why have you been learning Spanish? Chris?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, it started because my cleaners speak Spanish. They're two
pretty girls stuff from Argentina, Georgia.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Are you leaving Chris at home with your cleaners?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
They can do better than me?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
No, when I know that, But this is where it's
all stemming from, right, So is that you want to
learn Spanish that you can talk to them in their
native tongue.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, and it's nice. So I can you know they arrive?
I said, yeah, okay, and the giggle.

haven't learned Spanish.

Okay, here we go.

Oh, like gris sorisa, Yes, mosso is sexy.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Okay, it's such a sexy language, isn't it.

It's not sexy when you use it.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Though, But this is why I want to learn it,
because I hear the cleanest speaking and it's a beautiful language.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It is beautiful languages like German and Arabic.

Speaker 5 (03:23):

Speaker 4 (04:15):
That one said Chris, you cook steak and roast meat
to perfection.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah, not that even that sounded arousing. That was even
arousing for me.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Chris Gerard, you're rich. I see your Insta I see

Speaker 5 (04:50):
It's a soft, soft, pastoral stage color.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
And what about your fourteen hundred dollars stools that.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
You bought here we go? That's going to come back
to haunt me forever?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Also? I also have budgeted elsewhere.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I mean, I feel like I'm just coasting along in
the middle somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I want to hear from someone more disgustingly rich than
you are, And it's this boomer from an online social
media account.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They do street interviews. They go up and ask people
random questions.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
They asked this guy how much money he had and
his advice on saving haven't listened to this point.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
I made it three years of age and I have
probably ansets of about forty million.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Oh yeah, Meal, it's quite a lot. How did you accumulate.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Such a large anout work?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Do you have any tips and tricks on how people
can say?
Speaker 7 (05:36):
I think probably if you can do away with your
couple of coffees a day and things that are not necessary,
then it all helps leaning out and doing those sort
of things that you don't need to do. Check you
read at home. Yeah, just watch how you spend your pennies.
It's the main thing.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Don't buy coffees.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I was waiting for him to mention smashed ava.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
And supersa boomers also talking about superannuation. But my dad
has always drilled into me, you look after the pounds
and the pennies will look after themselves.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
No way, shit, I'm start of the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
You look after the pennies and the pounds will look
after himself. And he tells me every single time he
sees me not.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
To buy a coffee.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That bloke, he's an old he's a liar, he is,
and he's.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Forty million dollars in assets, and he's what, he's mad
he's got that much money because he didn't buy himself
a coffee exactly. And also I feel like my dad
is like, don't eat out and don't do this, and
I'm like, and then you die of like cancer, and
you've got all this money and you haven't lived your
life because you're so obsessed with saving that you don't
enjoy your life.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I hate boomers, and they talk about this bloke would
have bought his house for.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Sixty seven No, seventeen thousand dollars. That's how much my parents.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Paid kids these days, they're no good with money.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, because the house is three million bus that's right,
you tossa rich people are height though.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
A friend of mine is a very good friend of
Hugh Jackman. Oh okay, you know Wolverine. So he's got
a few bucks, particularly after Deadpool and more band made
a billion dollars, gets cut of that.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So he wipes his backside with notes.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
No, you'd think he would, he doesn't. My mate goes
over to visit him in New York, my mate Gussie.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
They're out on the town.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Jacko's driving and Gussy goes, oh, here's a parking station.
Hugh Jackman goes, No, there's one two blocks further down.
That's only twenty five dollars, not thirty five dollars or
whatever for the night. You go sorry, are you your wolverine?
You can't afford No.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
That is very common.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
I've got a girlfriend who has been brought up with
a silver spoon in her mouth.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
I remember going to a house.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
She's got a lift in internal lift and inclinator down
to the water.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Very very wealthy. I don't even know if.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
She's got a job, but she rents somewhere and pays
three grand a week.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Anyway, I've painted the picture for you.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
When you go out for dinner with her, if there's
a big it doesn't matter if she's had one wine
or shared a bottle, or had cocktails or something. She
will go through the menu like the items on each bill,
and she will only pay for what she's had. Like
I've been out for dinner with her and they've all
had wines, and I'm pregnant, and I'll just say split
(08:17):
the bill.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
If there's eight of us. Just split it eight ways.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It's how I get rich. I stay reach tight asses. Yeah, anyway,
I'm with you. We're all going to get cancer.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
That's a great way of looking at it, Amy, that's
a real positive outlook.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
We're all going to get cancer. So spend your money.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
No, I think there needs to be a happy medium.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
You don't want to just save and save and save
and bunk it down and not live your life.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You also don't want to be careless with your money.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
And just spend and spend and rent forever and have
no superannuation and not you know, leave anything for your.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Kids already, money for chemo.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You need to meet somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, a balance good. Yeah, there's our financial advice.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yes, do not take it, take it or take it
with the grain of salt.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
All right, We're going inside the secret society, the Facebook
mums group.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What have you ladies been chatting about all week?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
What's the big issue in the Facebook mums groups. Okay,
a mum has ridden in saying, Hey mums, I'm really
upset and I need some advice.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm hosting a birthday party.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
For my son in two weeks and I casually mentioned
it to a few mums at the park before I
had even sent out the invites.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Now here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
One of the other moms that was there then went
and booked the same day for her son's party before
I had sent out the invites. Now she's inviting half
the class, but she also hasn't invited my son. Bitch,
I'm furious that she'd just do this on purpose. Should
I confront her or should I just let it go
and focus on my own party? Any advice would be appreciated.
(09:49):
I'm really struggling with this big issue.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I mean, that's that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Is a real or she did she bite the son
because she knows he's having.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
His own birthday part that day. She's a dog, Yeah,
she's a low rat dog.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
She's a sewer rat.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Although did she say I'm having the party in two weeks?
That's that's not long.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I mean, that's that's your first mistake. Who isn't planned
already in two weeks? I have to give like six
weeks notice for my kids minimum.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And this is and nowadays, when you book a place,
you got a book Whizzy World.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Or some wiz yeah, yeah, yeah, because who wants to
have it at their house.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I think this is pretty pretty cutthroat, pretty nasty from
that other mum.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I don't know who's organizing a kid's birthday party.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Yeah, but you're stuck on the two weeks.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Move past that. That's not the question here at play.
The question is question what should she do?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Should she confront the mom?
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yes, she had stalk her at a workplace, and just like, yes,
don't you want my advice revenge?
Speaker 5 (10:54):
No, I don't want your advice on No.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
My go to yes, to get gravel to their house.
Get a ton of gravel and say I won't be home,
just leave it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
On the lawn.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
I want to be the bigger person here and say
you know what, rise above it, yep, and just focus
on your own party. But what this dirty dog mum
has done is she's gotten ahead of this other mum
and started inviting the whole class.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Yeah, she's not your friend, Let that be known.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I would say that, be more careful about who you're
hanging out with and who you're talking to about your
kid's party plans.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah because this woman.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah, but you know what, go head to head with her.
You hand out your invites and let the kids make
their own decision. Are they going to go to your
kids party or her kid's party?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
You know what awesome invites? Yeah, but they have to
be really nice invitation.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Yeah, deliver them, get doves to deliver them.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yes, what's your selling point is buzz Light.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
You're going to be there, you have to go. You
have to one up this bitch.
Speaker 1 (11:48):

A grown man.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Buzz lightyear for a living and hangs out with children. Yeah,

Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, it pays well. And you know what, in future,
don't drop any don't drop any hints.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
About birthdays planet earlier.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, no, don't planning move past it.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I know, but I'm trying to get the mind of
a woman.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
No, you'll never understand hanging.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
On to an issue and never dropping up anyway, There
it is, Chris. A fun news story here. It's a
woman named Chian Fox. So you know she's a classy
one just.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
From the name, well, probably a fake name.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
If you call your daughter chi Fox just so you know,
she'll be a strip. Okay, No, she's an only fans
aren't they all yeah, okay. So she fox rented a
billboard and drove around a very posh suburb of Sydney, Mossman, you.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Know, yes, I do. Yeah, very posh, the women.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
With plastic faces driving Porsche k Ns.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
And she paid two thousand dollars for this billboard that said,
are you rich, old and lonely?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I'm looking for a sugar daddy? And she's a photo
of her.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Yeah, has she got She looks like she's got a
white T shirt on with no bra and she's sitting
in a G string.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I mean it looks looks very appealing.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
You have you text her?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
No?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
This is oh wait, you're none of those. Oh you're
old and lonely, but you're not really.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, I'm just I'm just.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I'm lucky.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Absolutely cow. This is the first t I'm hearing of it.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
So I will take note of this number, send it
round to your rich mates.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But old, rich, lonely. There are three prerequisites.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well, she's looking for a sugar daddy, I'm assuming so
they pass away relatively soon and she can take.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
On their money. I don't know. Yeah, why do they
need to be old?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Old men probably don't have as big a libido, maybe
like she's going to have to service them often.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
So she's wanting some guy who wants a hot date
to go out for dinner with and to be a
little bit of arm candy, pretty.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Young thing when he goes out to dinner at the
yacht club.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Yeah, okay, I understand. I mean a kudos to her
for having a crack. It's ballsy.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
If you if you put out a billboard looking for
a man, what would be your three things?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
So hers a rich, old, lonely if I.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Was looking for a husband or something, Yeah, mine are
probably a bit corny.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I love a man with a sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh no, woman says that. But also you don't, Yes.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I do.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Every man that I've dated has a sense of humor,
and the ones that didn't, they got the boot. If
you don't have a sense of humor and you can't
laugh at things in life, you're a loser.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Okay, but you've got to be hot too.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
No looks to me just they fail. Person is key
sense of humor. I like a man who's family orientated.
No one's texting me.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
So you want a family orientated man who's replying to
a billboard out for effectively.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
And I need I know. I like a nice Bratworth
size sausage.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Oh right, that's a big one, right.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah, it's a big one, not a Frankfurt.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Not a big I don't like the long, skinny ones either.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
The big Salama.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I like the the Bratworth.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yeah, nothing worse than a thin sausages.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Oh no, we just know. I like the pork and
fennel ones.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, salty, that's.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
What would go on mine, I reckon, that's I reckon.
That would rule a few people out.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
A sense of humor, family orientated with a big.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
With a big pork sausage. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, it's not much streams family value.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's not much to ask, is it, luck?
Speaker 5 (16:02):
What about you? What would you put on yours? Actually,
don't answer that. I already know be inappropriate.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Rich rich, okay, young?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, I think those two.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Old rich birds. I want a young rich one.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Yeah. I don't think they exist.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
They want yourn anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
No, anyway, it is time for Amy's favorite segment.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
It's back.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
I think that's good. The music I like, Yeah, play
it for me.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
My style Lions, Ryan, While why your silly.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Sausage, Your silly sausage? Listen, Ryan, has left me again.
He does a lot of traveling for work and he's
taken off down to Tasmania.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
He was away in Tasmania this week.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
And I know, as a mum of three children with
a care and stuff, I'm I'm meant to hate it
when he leaves because it all falls.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
On my shoulders and all of that. Who harp it.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I just feel like, and I really love him, but
my life is easier when he is not around.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
And I'll tell you why him I'm not happier. No,
I won't say I'm well, maybe I'm a little bit
happier happy. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
It's because when he is not there, I just I
know that it's all on me, and I just know
shit needs to get done, and I just I just
get it done.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
When he is there.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I have certain expectations and I'll do this, and then
Ryan can do this.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
And they're never met and so therefore I end up.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Being disappointed, and then there's resentment, and then that builds,
and then there's kind of fights that start escalating, and
then he is just as much a grub as my children.
So it feels like I've got four children that.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I'm looking after and.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
So life's better when you have zero expectations. Yes, and
he's just not there, so you've just got nothing. Never
get your hopes up.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
And also Tasmania is it a work trip. It is
a work that's a good place. Like you know, he's
not getting up too much in taste.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
There's nothing in Tasmania most people.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
If you go in to Perth for a work trip,
there's a casino, the women are smoking hot.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Husband's going to Perth for a work trip. He's going
to play up on you.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
No, Ryan can't play up anywhere. He goes. Everywhere he goes.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I get people messaging me saying, hey, I saw the
big man out here.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
There's women everywhere. I've got eyes on him everywhere.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
There's something to be said about having your own space
and holding myself accountable for the house being clean.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I have my little daughter. She sleeps in bed with me.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
She doesn't far all night long, she doesn't breath, she
doesn't hit me up all night.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It's just nice. I sleep better. My kids.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Don't put you up for what?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Well, what do you think? Yeahs Bible study?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, yeah, I get that short periods of time. But
you're saying you'd prefer to be a single mum.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
No, I'm just saying I don't mind when he goes away.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
I really love him and we have a great time together.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
But he is a bit messy and a bit you
know the brake Nolly, it's a nice break.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
More orderly. Your ADHD a little bit of a control freak.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
So am I a control free.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I do like a certain level of cleanliness in my
house and he does not.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Keep up to my standard of your clean You're the.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Boss when he's away, and you're in control. Probably the
boss when he's there too.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I'm the boss, yeah, full controller.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yeah it's nice. So he's done something right this week.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
It doesn't happen often, but well done, Thanks honey, Thanks honey.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
He's checking out the map of Tassy, Yes he is.
There's not one at home right there isn't well.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Done, Amy.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We have a great friend to the radio station as
our guest in the studio right now, Keisha Pettit is
the producer of The Pig the podcast Life I'm Cut
and has her own podcast as well called Cloud, which
is a ten part mini series about living with ADHD.
We topic right, well, we felt like we could relate
to that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I'm I'm officially.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
You're officially you've got the diagnosis. I am currently in
the process of being diagnosed. But we I mean, if
you've spent five minutes in a room with me, you
know that I have it.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Tell I've been told my whole life. I have it.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
It's just yeah, it's probably coming to a head now
and I desperately need.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
To seek help.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Keisha, welcome to the show. I'm guessing you have it.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Your official yes, right, imagine if I didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Podcast makes sense.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I'm an investigtive.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Journalist now, yeah, mine's of MEDHD. Yes, Yeah, I was diagnosed.
I was another late age diagnosed woman, which is something
that I think we're seeing a lot of, particularly on
social media at the moment, in which that you know,
we can get into that.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
If we want to.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
But I was diagnosed at I think I was about
twenty nine. But I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety
back in twenty nineteen, so quite a few years beforehand,
and still to this day, I don't know whether that
was misdiagnosis or if it was maybe just you know
that they were the symptoms of the burnout from ADHD.
But at twenty nine, it was to the point where
I was really starting to feel the long term effects
(21:19):
of what you know that burnout from having ADHD can be.
And now that I know a lot more about the condition,
it actually makes a lot more sense. So the current
theories about it are basically that we have less dopamine
in certain areas of our brain, so things that have
to do with thought, you know, thought processing and decision
making and motivation.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That was a big one.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So knowing that now it makes a lot of sense
why I was feeling the way that I was.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I've got so many girlfriends who were misdiagnosed with anxiety
and depression because of those highs and lows that you
talk about, and that's something that rings true for me,
Like I have no gray area.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
I'm either such an upper or I'm so down.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I always talk about how my husband, Lucky Men has
two different wives and it's just but I've been like
that my whole life. Like you almost always know.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Your period plays a pretty big yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Coupled with my period and just my hormones who do
me dirty every month, it's the head noise as well.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
For me, it's the head noise.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
Everything kind of came to a head for me when
I had three children and then tried to take on work.
And remember we spoke about last week, Paige and I.
Sometimes we have so much on our plate and then
we get out of the shower and we just sit
on the bed and we stare at the wall for
forty five minutes.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
And hour has passed and you're like, what the hell
just happened?
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I just can that is the story of my life.
That's my entire personality at the moment.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So I think this is a really common experience though,
particularly for women, and you know, you feel as though
you're able to handle it all, yes, until for a
lot of them it's kids. For me, I don't necessarily
know what thing it was, but something happened in my life.
It was likely that my career kind of took a
look off and I was having to just process more
and that's when the burnout really really stuck its teeth
(23:04):
into me. And I think that it's very common now
for women, particularly of like our age YEP, that they
will realize that they've got ADHD because their kids are
diagnosed and it's a genetic component to it, and a
lot of them can be sitting in those psychiatrist appointments, going,
hang on a second, this sounds like me, This sounds
so true. And there was a part of me when
(23:24):
I got diagnosed. And I've had to have a lot
of conversations with my mum about this because there was
a part of me that was a little bit angry.
You know, I have the combined type, so I did
have the classic symptoms of ADHD as well as the
inattentive side. And there was a part where I was
just like, how didn't you notice, Like if you had
have known, how how much easier could my life have been?
(23:47):
Like did I have to struggle through as much as
what I did internally, like mentally struggle in the way
that I did. I don't think I would have if
you had have noticed, if you know, Like it was
in every single one of my school reports, they all
said the exact same thing. She has so much potential,
she jeopardizes other students learning capability, can't apply yourself, can't
apply yourself, always interrupting, too talkative, always off playing sports.
(24:11):
She's missing a lot of class. And I was like
it was written on the walls. And my mom said
this thing to me, and I actually feel really emotional
thinking about it, because I realized that in that moment
she was only you know, she only had the understanding
that she had. She can't retrofit now understandings of Adhd.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Well.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
She also said to me, Keisha, I thought that was
normal because I'm the same way. I thought that was normal,
and I was like, yes, mum, you have it too.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
The education wasn't there for them, right.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
My seven year old started KINDI and his teacher pulled
us aside and said, hey, I'm not a doctor. I
can't officially tell you this, but he's got ADHD go
and get and checked out. I picked up the book
Scattered Minds by Gable Marte. Amazing great book if you're
if you feel like you may be affected, check at
that book. I got halfway through the first chapter reading
(25:04):
it about my son and went, oh, it's.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Me and did you look at your life? And go?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I wasn't sure which one of them us he got
it from, but now I'm realizing it's.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
My fault I've given because.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
A few pages into the book there's everything I've got.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Describing Yeah, And isn't it lovely that he's teacher noticed,
you know? And that's the difference of like our generation
to their generation is that we have such a better
understanding of it now. And I think that's why there's
there is all this talk about everybody getting diagnosed now,
and it's like, yeah, because we're just realizing.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Thank you so much for the three of them.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
We could just go on and on.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's never a problem when everybody in the room exactly
thank you so much having me guys, thank you
