Speaker 2 (00:18):
All right, family meeting, Family meeting. It's not just Max
and myself in the studio. We have Burjo with us
every day. He presses all the buttons. He's the dolcet
tones you hear when you put your radio on. We
have to have a little intervention here because we love
him dearly.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
We go back a long way.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We're in friends for what fourteen years now, and we're
worried you're going to end up on a current affair
because you're doing something that could end up really badly
if you don't stop.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's not the dodgy plumbers. It's not the guys that
bark like dogs on current affair. It's the hoarders. Yeah,
they're the people that we are worried about.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
So Burjo right now is packing up his house to
move to a different house. And within that house you've
got a four year old Sophia I love so much.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yes, she's my good daughter. I love her.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's not about you and I dress so much on track.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
You can't throw anything away that she has touched or
put her mouth on or drawn or anything.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Absolutely not. I keep everything. It's everything is a memory
of her, but also like a part of her.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, Burgo, my parents kept for me when I was young.
There was like a scrap book of first so I
reckon that first lock of hair is in there, maybe
the first dummy is wedged in their first art and
it's all one scrap book and it sits in a cupboard.
You have enough to fill maybe twenty scrap book.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Can I can I just say one of the things
that Burgo is struggling to throw away, this is where
he's at. This is literally just like a flyer, a
flyer that says settling your baby easier at a four
months Someone's written on a breastfeeding support and scales for
self way.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Because that's when the calf's nurse first came out, when
we first brought her home. So like I keep all
these this hasn't but everything's a memory.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
But this hasn't so far, hasn't even touched this.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
What does that spark for you?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
That is a Government of South Australia Child and Family
Health Service pamphlet with no information on it.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
For me, sparks when we first brought her home and
the nurse came out to visit, and that weighed her.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm going to say, I've got two boys. You know
that we're very similar in this way as well. We're
both helicopter parents. I used to do what you do
and I couldn't let go of anything, and then I
was like, I have to, and it's so cleansing. So
you end up getting like these big boxes from my
care or whatever, and you keep just the things, just
just enough from every year.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's all you need.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Filter Like I've tried to do that and i've but
I I just end up keeping absolutely everything.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I can help your mate, Yeah, I can help you
filter because I'm holding a whole bunch of Sophia's art
in front of me.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
I brought it.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, I can tell you what you do need to filter.
You need to draw a line at some point. Can
we agree that the line is somewhere on my side
of let's keep every single thing that she's ever done.
That's probably fair, right?

Speaker 6 (03:06):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (03:07):
This is an a four piece of green paper.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
With what looks like she's maybe for the first time
in her life, found some pink pape and just put
her finger in it seven or eight times and just
smudge the page a couple of times.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
I think it was actually like a bingo dabber that
she's just gone crazy with.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I can go on the bin, three piece of paper,
she's got twenty two star stickers.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
There's no art in this. She hasn't drawn it.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Hang on.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
That is you understand when you have a child, Max,
That is when your kid independently peels stickers off of
the stickers and puts them on herself.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Is it the first thing she did?

Speaker 6 (03:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Okay, I'm going to say the art stuff is hard
because that is her doing it. The stuff that's not
hard that you need a bin or just pass to
someone else, don't bin, but give it to somebody else,
like little like plastic pieces of crap.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
No, no, there are.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Pieces of crap. They're the teething rings that you've put
in the freezers. Got full teeth, mate, Yeah, but she
had her little mouth and her little hands.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
A doubt. Can I can I bring us home with this?
The Tommy tippy cup that you can no longer use.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
It's a baby bottle.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, that has what I think is milky molding it.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
What when will you ever use this again?

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Keeping it for memories because I used to feed her
with those little bottles as she'd go to sleep at night,
and it's a little memory.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Going to keep every fork that she now eats her
dinner with as a member.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Bur Joe needs help, please help us thirteen one oh
two three?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Are you a hoarder? And how did you stop being
a hoard.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
It's not hoarding, it's being sentimental and collecting memories full hoarding.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Mate, There is a toy here that looks like it
came out of a happy meal fifteen years ago.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Why are we keeping these?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I was just explaining, I get I get it.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
You don't want to throw anything away of your child's
because you love them so much in it and you're collector, no,
your hoarder. But she's only four, so there is going
to be a point where you have to get rid
of stuff because as she grows, you can't keep everything.
So we're trying to help Burgo to stop being a
hoarder and Aastasia, have you got any advice.

Speaker 7 (05:09):
Oh, Burdo, I've got everything you need. All you need
to do is take photos of it, put on your speech,
chuck it on your computer, and you can stare at.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
It all day long. That's a great physical stuff.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
Throw it in the bin and declutter your house.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
She didn't put the photo in her mouth. She put
the bottle in her mouth.

Speaker 8 (05:26):
You know, of the bottle in her mouth and take
it and then put it on the computer.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Some of this art that you just need to chill.

Speaker 8 (05:33):
With, holding onto everything.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Hard, absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Some of this art that I'm holding is just this
is eleven animal stickers stuck randomly on an a three
piece of paper.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
Take that.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Take a photo of it, mate. You can look at
it whenever you want.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
I'll just have it back.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
No, no, you need to no, no, no, We've got
to do something about this.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
We're helping you out seeing you've got to clear it
out anything.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
And trust me, it is so cleansing when you get
rid of stuff. You need to skip and just chuck everything.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Graham in maud Bri, your father used to be a
hoarder and you've inherited the trait.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
What have you got, Graham, I've caught the disease off
my dad. I swore that I'd never be a hoarder,
but about twenty years ago I just started collecting, collecting,
I collect car memorabilia, model cars and then just anything
to do with that. And it's hard to let it go.
But so that my kids don't have to get rid

(06:26):
of it when I'm gone, I've been selling it, putting
it on marketplace.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Yeah, good man, get.

Speaker 8 (06:35):
Rid of it because your kids are going to be
grateful when they get older that they haven't got all
this stuff they got to get rid of.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
And you're giving it another life as well. Another child
will want to play with these toys.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
They will all the things that he's even need to
go in a bin.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
No, some of these can be passed down to little kids.

Speaker 6 (06:52):
Telling and Park, can you help me? Are you the hoarder?

Speaker 7 (06:55):
No, I'm not the water. My auntie is the hoarder.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Are your auntie Rose in Farrid and Park?

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yes, that's my auntie.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
We know her. She's ourfraid.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
She all the time.

Speaker 7 (07:05):
Well, you can help your friend get rid of some
of her crap.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
What's she got? Can't tell the picture, I'm not talking.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
She's an expensive hoarder. Like the stuff she's got, I
could retire if we so. She has a shed of handbags,
she has a carpool of shoes, she has another shed
of shoes. She has a shed that has gardening ship
in and we don't have a garden.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Why does she like gardening self? Don't ask me, just
in case.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
And then she has a shed of Christmas crap and
we no longer put up Christmas crap.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Sheds does she have?

Speaker 7 (07:42):
She has four sheds, which if you would like to
help me get rid of, I can get.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
As far she's hoarding.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
She sheds you you said this to her face.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Don't worry. I tried to get you guys, you know
when you had that one a hundred junk when you
were coming out, but she refused.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Okay, well she's on the phone.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Rose Halo harlow, beautiful girl, do you feel about what
Chantelle's saying about you?

Speaker 7 (08:12):
Or?

Speaker 8 (08:12):
First to the start.

Speaker 7 (08:13):
I've got to go.

Speaker 8 (08:14):
I've got to get to work with her line.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
I'm sitting in the car park right now. Thanks for
your concern.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
We're having a domestic Can you tell us a little
bit about your hoarding problem?

Speaker 7 (08:28):
Max? Ask her, who's put her name on some of
my handbag?

Speaker 8 (08:32):
When I die?

Speaker 7 (08:33):
Yeah, because that's my that's my inheritance. Hang on, I
can sell your believer.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
The times and I can retire to be fair Rose.
Long may you live, but when you do die, there
is a lot of mess for the family to clean up.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
It sounds like, thank you, I'm thinking about handbag.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Those Why can't you let gold stuff?

Speaker 8 (08:55):
I can other people's stuff.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yeah, but what about your stuff?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Like, oh, she's in her.

Speaker 7 (09:07):
That's your fine. She buys all the latest phones and
none of them works.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Okay, right, thank you so much for all you calls.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Next, we're going to have a little ceremony in the
studio where we are helping mate Burjo out and we're
going to dispose of these things. We're getting them rid.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
I just pet them in to share with you some
of the key things because you love Sophia.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I love Sofia, but you don't need these. This
isn't Sophia. This is just a piece of crap.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
It's become a parent. Throughout all of this that you
haven't learned anything. You haven't listened to that advice where
we said take a picture of it, any of that.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
So we just want to help you out and show
you how free.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
We've just got a blender and a paper shedder in here.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
Oh my god, that's all we have, all right, Hey,
let's give the Harvest Rock tickets to Raquel from Manapara
for sharing the umbilical cord story, shall we?

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:54):
I mean it's gross, but it was a good story.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
He's a hoarder.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
He cannot get rid of anything that his beautiful little
daughter has touched or sucked on or anything.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
It's all memories of her. It's all the piece a
part of her. And then general I also feel like,
I mean, parent guilts a real thing. But when you
get rid of it.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
How will they feel like you're getting rid of my
art or my price.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
You don't tell them. I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Do you think that your four year old daughter Burgo
knows that you've kept this happy meald chicken from when
she was probably one year old?

Speaker 6 (10:20):
She knows it.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Exists, she does, she doesn't, She won't know, She would
not even remember she ever had it.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Okay, So we've got in the studio just to help
you out because we love you so much.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
We've got a paper shredder and we've got a blender.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, so Shreddie Murphy is right next to me here,
And I mean there's a lot of art that we
don't think you knowed. This isn't the first art you keep.
The first you don't need to keep the fortie.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
She's only four. She's got so many more paintings to
do in her life.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
She might become a painter, a famous artist.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yeah, okay, I brought this in to share with you,
especially Hayley, because you.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
It's on my fridge at the moment.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
But the good stuff and bring it in just get shredded.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Oh my god, thank you?

Speaker 4 (11:04):
What about this one?

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Which one's that one? It's got a name and.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Write that name?

Speaker 6 (11:10):
No, no, mate, no, no, no, it's actually just rude.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
At this point, I'm feeling uneasy about the art that
sent her name on it.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
What do you think?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Here?

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Give me.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
I'll give you this plastic stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
This is the stuff that like the crappy stuff that's
like pieces of paper that haven't even got anything to
do with her.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
So to go to the blender.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Let's se if the blender is working.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
Just roll over to this corner of the studio.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Okay, So we've got a blender in the studio. We've
added a little bit of water because we've got a few.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Plastic Maybe I'll just test the blender. First of all,
seems to work. So I think the first thing we
can put in the blender is this Child and Family
Health Service, Government of South Australia pamphlet, which you really
don't need to keep.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
Blending up documents.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Okay, we're going to put it all in there now
and next Burgo, you're going to say goodbye.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Okay, this is.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
It brought.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Memories, not to get rid of it blended on the radio.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm going to try and blend this happy meal toy.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
I think he's.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Putting everything in the blead. You take this little book
as well. She doesn't need that anymore.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Burgo, our friend Berg who's in the studio with us
every day. We're doing a little family meeting because we
love your daughter, Sofia, and you're such a good dad.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
You're such a good dad, lovely.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
But I got to say, you got to stop the
hoarding because your house is going to be full of
crap and you need to get to a point where
you could just keep certain amounts of stuff from every year.
So today we're brought in our shredder, our paper shredder,
and we've brought in our blender and Max and I
helping you rid of sophear.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
We are cleansing you.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I've done a couple of pieces of art already, and
I've thrown a few things in the blender ready for you.
So we thought maybe it would be therapeutic if you
did it.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
Bergo.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
And the gateway to the blender is obviously using shreddy
murphy our shredder. So if you could pick up that
piece of green paper there, the one that has the
red smudge on it, which was art when she was
three weeks old, but it's no longer art.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
You don't need. You don't need to keep that stuff.
You've got so.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Much art still enjoy out of this. It feels very
monstrous and heartless and souls.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Here we go.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
Oh my god, the guilt that was my baby.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
She'd put her little Do you want to try one
more personality into this artwork?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Now?

Speaker 6 (13:30):
These you've got stickers of.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Little bars your heart feeling right now?

Speaker 6 (13:36):
I feel I.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Feel guilty, I feel bad. I feel like she's going
to be disappointed and betrayed.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
She won't know, she don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Step overy, step over here into the blending arena.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
So in the blender, we've got a couple of things
that this plastic crap that should be gone anyway.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
One of them is a genuine happy meal toy. I reckon.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's like a little chicken. And we've also got a pizza.

Speaker 6 (13:59):
You wind it up and it hops along.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, oh my god, so sentimental. It's not. It's from
China and there's a million of them. Okay, so we
got our favorite blend to hear. Do you want to
put on the safety glasses?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Please? Do my love heart glasses?

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I think it's best you do it.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
And I'm going to step over here because I'm not
sure that it's safe. Jump over here and cover my
eyes and you give that little pulse for us there, mate,
it'll be therapeutic. Oh god, oh god, it's just gone straight.
The shreds, the plastic chicken. It now just looks like pink.

Speaker 4 (14:39):
It looks like pink soup.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
How do you feel, Bodo?

Speaker 5 (14:43):
This was a little document I got from Calfs when
they first came out to like, I'll see our baby
when she was a newborn.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
This was a toy that she played.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
What do you want to do with that?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's not real love. You've got memories, that's what it is.
You've got so many memories. And so many pieces of art.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's cool. Who gives a crap? Here is the top
of her first bottle.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
So this is the little nipple that goes on the
top of the bottle that you suck on, and it is.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Covered in what looks like mold.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
Mold.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
It's disgusting. You don't need that anymore.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
Give it a blend, lad, I thought I would keep
these forever, her little baby bottled teeth.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
Okay, here we go, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Getting further distance away from that high speed.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, all right, we're done now.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Look, okay, the rubber's gone.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
See Birch, How do you feel now you don't need that?
You have Sophie to go home to? Yeah, yeah, you
feel Okay, it's good, right, Cathartic.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
I'm glad I only brought one into not the other
five for the selling home.
