Speaker 2 (00:58):
These are all in your repertoire. That's adest thing I've
ever heard is that this is your material.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Okay, someone's enjoying this podcast?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
People that are listening to it? No doubt.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Why didn't we get a hold of today? You want
to talk.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Well, this is something I want to discuss with you
because it features in your life. And Ozzie mum was
left horrified after a son revealed his tattoo at the
departure gates at an international airport. So the son's leaving,
he's going to go overseas, and so he's wild oats
and as he's leaving to the departure gate, he rolls
up his sleeve and goes have a look at his mum.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I've got me a tattoo.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And why was she upset?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Well, because you're a mother of children.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Would you be happy if they came home with tattoos?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, interestingly, and I know what you're referring to is
that the night before my son went overseas last year,
I gave him the usual lecture about don't experiment with drugs,
don't do things that can affect you for your whole life,
et cetera, et cetera, and he said, there's something I
need to tell you. I thought, oh, no, he had
(02:07):
a drug episode to happen.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
He's already done it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, he showed me a very small tattoo on his hip,
and I thought, oh, thank goodness, that's all it is,
because really there's no big deal. It's not a big
thing that takes up his whole face or any of
that stuff. A very small tattoo on his hip that
had some meaning to him. And I said, look, that's
I don't care, and I don't. I actually was quite
delighted because I knew very well he'd set the story up,
(02:33):
because I was anxious that he was going to tell
me a drug story. And he said, it was an
easy tats do you were delighted? I have a delighted
It was only a tatt I have a confession to make.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Jack revealed me to me that tattoo some time.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Ago before you before he told me before he told
you at my own.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Son's What were the circumstances?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It was at my son's twentieth birthday party?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Do you remember that you couldn't make it? Jack came round.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So we're having a few drinks and I said, how
you being when just and he goes, have a.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Look at this, He revealed to me his tattoo on
his head.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Why did he show you?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't know? And I said, oh great, And then
I agonized about telling you or not.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I didn't before I did, I knew before you didn't,
but I had to keep his secret. He said, I
don't tell mom, and I said, well, okay, I'm not
going to tell your mum.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I liked it he didn't tell me. Actually, if he'd
murdered someone, I would expected you to tell me, well
I really got married. If he got married, like.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Suld let me just write this down. Murdered marriage, but tattoo.
But the kids these days, everyone's got a tattoo. Back
in my day, no one had tattoos. Only bikey's and
sailors had tattoos. Now everyone's got tattoos. I'm going to
make that. Used to be in the Hell's Angels motorcycle
club and he's got a big the.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Hell's Angels insignia on his neck.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And he was saying to me, you know, and he's
had that sinto his nineteen And he said to.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Me, he said, yeah, I was at the brewster and there's.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
A kid he's got a big skull tattooed on his neck.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
He goes, how do you look tough anymore?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Or if the kid, the pencil neck kid at the barista,
he's got the tattoo on his neck.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Well, what is the new image? Of looking tough. What
is it?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
How do you look tough? How do you look tough?
If you everyone's got tattoos, who's the tough guy? It's
hard to pick.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
When you think about it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, were the toughs. We are the ones who still
sit up the back of the bus smoking. They're the toughs.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Because more of my kids, except for Dominic, have got tattoos.
And I didn't think my daughter had a tattoo till
one day I caught her in the laundry are getting
changed and I noticed that she had a tattoo on
a hip.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Have you said anything to it?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, I said, I said, hang on.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
He says, get out, I'm going what's this? And it's
a sweet pea on a hip?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh, because that's what you called me?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Said, but that's what you called me. And I said, well,
and you've got no comeback from that.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, that's right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And then my son Morgan, because he said to me
when I was about sixteen, can I get a tattoo?
And I said, mate, when you're eighteen, you can get
a tattoo. Okay, you're not getting one before you're eighteen.
That's what I did. And he went right here. I
got to twenty one and Noah's no tattoo, and I thought, oh,
we've dropped, you know, we've dodged the tattoo bought. Then
one day he comes home and he's got this giant
(05:10):
tattoo on his leg of a bear.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And I went, hang on, I thought we missed the tattoo.
But it and he said, no, I just used to.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Call him bear.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, no, I didn't. I don't know where he got
a bit grizzly bear.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I said, well, I said, hang on a minute,
but I didn't think you were getting a tattoo, and
he said no, I was just saying I was waiting
to save up for the right amount of money for it,
so I get a good one. And then he rang
me from a building side he was working at and
a tile had fallen off the wall and pierced his
tattoo into the He had to go to the hospital
and he said, and it's ruined a new tattoo.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I went, oh, what a what a shame, What
a shame that is.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Do you remember what the Obamas did? Barrick and Michelle
Obama when their daughter was younger and she wanted to
get a tattoo. They said, all right, well how about
we'll get the same tattoo as you, So we'll come
along with you and get exactly this same tattoo, and
she never mentioned it again.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, because as a friend of mine says, when you're young,
it's like drawing on a pencil case. The stuff you'd
have put on your body is the stuff you'd have
put on your pencil case when you're fifteen, When you're
twenty twenty five, does it still define you. It's hard
to think of one image when you're younger that you
will love forever.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't understand the neck tattoo, you know, the full
neck tattoo.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Because there's no hiding that, and it looks.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like a neck brace.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It actually looks like they've got they're wearing one of
those neck braces. I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, as they get older, it's going to have to
be cravat season all year round. And we were scared
our parents would see love bites.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Ye maybe Matt grab Preston.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's got a giant necktap.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's not a cravat at all.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It doesn't want his mom to know that's what he's.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Always Missiness Preston Matthew, what was done? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Anyway, anyway, I'm just off mic for a bit there
because I had to reach over and press record because
Jim I rise bug it off to wherever he goes.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You're back now, I puffed from reaching over.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Doing the reach over. Hello Amanda.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Hello, I, as you know, follow a site on x
called fesshole and with people sometimes they're disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Give us one disgusting.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, someone saying that when they you know, they do
a number two in the shore and stomp it down.
You know that's what you asked for disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What did you think?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh, when you pad a dog and it licks you? No, Oh,
you asked for disgusting.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I was sort of expecting the ladder, But then again,
with you, you always.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Go there, don't you.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, I don't always like the mankey ones, but I
thought this one you might have something to say about it,
because this is what you say about me. This person
has said, I really love my girlfriend, but she's an
absolute horrible television watcher. She seems incapable of just sitting
in peace and watching, asking a million simplistic questions. She's
got a PhD. But she turns into an absolute idiot
when watching a movie. I might have to break up
(08:04):
with her, And someone underneath the said, I wouldn't bother.
It's nearly all women. Nearly all women do that. And
someone else has said here underneath that. The lady behind
me at the Thing screening last night said to a partner,
why are they shooting at the dog? Her partner says,
very firmly, have you never seen a film before you
watch it and information is revealed?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, it's not like you've seen it before.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's what Harley says. I've been watching this as long
as you have. He also says, while you're asking me
that question, I haven't heard the next bit that will
explain what's happening.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You're very terrible at watching any sort of movie.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I will admit I have trouble following plots.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
There's no way, for example, you could watch Mission Impossible,
any of the Mission Impossibles.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
They're two convoluted spy dramas.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
YEP.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I can't handle.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
See Tom Cruise rip off his mask and say who's that. Oh,
that's Tom Cruise wearing a mask that makes him look
like Tom Cruise. I say, why would he do that
because it's mission impossible, you see.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You know what I do, though, I get distracted. So
if I'm watching a movie, I'll start googling on who
the actors are, and I'll start googling on who their
partners are and what their children's names are, and then
half an hour will pass and I'll say to Harley,
I haven't followed. We have to rewind.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The other night, I was watching a movie called Age
of Adeline. Have you seen this before? No, it's got
Harrison Ford and it's Blake Lively and.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Her sister look Lively. If you're not going to giggle,
I will giggle it myself. Not a pun.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know. I've got nowhere to go with that puny.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, you giggle and enjoy them. Brendan, I've got nowhere
to go with you. But I fake a laugh every
now and then.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You have never faked it with me in your life anyway. Adeline,
is this You're outlying because of this one? Okay, you
keep doing this, It's going to be a thing. Everything
I say is going to be a stupid pun.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Maybe maybe it's that day's so Adeline, for some reason,
when she's twenty nine, has this horrendous car accident, and
for some reason, some cosmic things, she falls in this
freezing river and then there's giant lightning stripe.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Don't wrong, you're telling me everything.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It stops her metamorphosizing or aging, so she wanted she
stays at the age of twenty nine. This is like
a female version of Highlander. You know Hilander Colin McLeod
of the Clan MacLeod, the man that cannot die, but
only until someone lops his head off with a sword.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, this is like that, but without the swords and
the big scotsman.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is there romance?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, it's all about right, like the sound of that.
What happens with Adeline?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Don't tell me too much because I might see it, Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So in the sixties, she meets this young guy, young
smart doctor. This is played later on by Harrison Ford,
falls in love and he wants to propose to her
and all that sort of stuff. Then she realizes she's
immortal and she can't hang around, so she because people
start finding out that she's indeed been around for a
(10:54):
long time because she had a daughter and her daughter
is now the same age as her.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You're telling me too much, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So anyway, years later, Adeline means this young guy who
she just is told he's this philanthropic guy that women like,
you know, always just like that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Stuff, and he's got a beard and Washboard's stomach.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Of course, she falls head over heels with him, and
she goes, you know, I can't because by this stage
he's one hundred and ten years of age.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And I'll have what she's having.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So the old mate takes her back to his house.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Harrison Ford's character opens the door and he says Adeline,
and she says, oh, no, no, that was my that
was my mother.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And that's the whole thing as well.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And anyway, the movie is really good, except there's a
narration at the start and the finish, and I think
that narration it's for.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
People like me.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yes, so because would have been in.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The test screening and I said, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I don't understand it. Why has he got a broadsword?
So you can't watch Highlander? Can you?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I've never seen it?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You've got Actually no, don't, Sully.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Remember when I saw a James Bond film with you.
I have a lot of trouble with James Bond films.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That's James bond. Why is he hiding from any minute?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
There's a double cross on our No, I don't want
to get back to what happens when people do it
in the shower and stop it down back to your fishole.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I'll just go over here and switch this up. Cutting
room four.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I thought we talked about something called boys sober. This
seems to be a new trend, going boy sober or
girl sober that famous people like Julia Fox, Chloe Kardashi,
and Lenny Kravitz are all adopting celibacy. I mean, all
right for them, they've a lifetime of doing it. Yeah,
made up for the rest of us. The idea though,
(13:04):
of going boy sober, for example, is this is a
young TikToker who coined the term. So she's taken a
celibacy pledge for herself because she's just sat a headspace
was being taken up with too much. So there's no
dating apps, no dates, no exes, no situationships now hugs,
no kisses, she said. And you're not single if someone's
taking up brain space. So all those years that you've
(13:26):
spent out of a committed relationship is still yearning for
an X, don't She said that this is the plan,
is to go cold turkey and get rid of it
all and clear your head.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Well, you know that sounds appealing, and I'm married.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Because you're living that life already.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
The idea where you just you know, you don't have
to answer to anyone, well, this that would be kind
of cool. I guess I would get lonely, but it
would be cool just to not answer to anyone.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Because there are a lot of people who are just
obsessed with finding love, yeah, or finding hookups or whatever
it is. And we've had it. We've had a spike
in what they call sex positive feminism and the destigmatization
of women enjoying in casual sex. So this has now
been the thing. It's all the aby chatfields and whatever
I'm saying. Don't shame us, don't judge us. We're living
(14:14):
our lives. This is a reaction to that. The pendulum
is swinging again and the latest trend is reclaiming your
celibacy and going boy sober and clearing heads. Someone has
said here, I did it for six months and it
was literally life changing. It's like being what do they
call it, sober curious?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
This is boy sober, so sober curious is where you
try not drinking for a while and just clear system
out and see how you feel. This is the same
without the dating apps and all the swipes, etc.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Six months without sex, that's a walk in the park.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, she tried being married long term.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I could do that. Do it on the head.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
When you were young, would that ever have entered your
mind that you'd like to be celibate?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, But I wasn't one of those guys that was
out for women. You know, I had to chase women.
Women were sort of like it was great if they
came along into my life. But I wasn't on someone
that you know, I wasn't girl crazy. You know, those
guys are a girl crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
With our kids.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
There was one made of mine and I look at him.
He's still going, but he's not married, just still always
you know, he's fifty six, you know, and you know
I had a bit of a relationship there. He's got
a kid from this lady and a kid from another lady.
He just you know, I don't think he ever settled down.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, that's what they say.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
We talked about this about j Lo, that she has
trouble being satisfied. Yeah, maybe she should go boy sober.
If this is true, that should breaking up from Ben Affleck.
And apparently the house is on the market sixty four million.
If you're interested, she should go boy sober. And for
a while, did Taylor Swift go boy sober? Or she
just didn't talk about her relationships for a while because
(15:51):
people who had the public thinks that you're constantly on
the lookout for love. Yeah, kind of judge you in
a way, don't they. They think you're needy. So maybe
boy sober is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, it's because you look at guys.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
When guys get together as a group, they're always willing
to get away from the women. And I was thinking
about my late uncle Peter, and he was old school misogynist, and.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is the thing was his a LinkedIn profile and he
is thing.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
MIAI pad is the most lovely person. What I love
pat But he was so almost mean to run away
with his misogyny.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
And I used always think, but his thing was, I
don't want naging women telling me what to do. I
want to get away from the women, you know, always
getting away from the women.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
It was almost like they had their place.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, this is a different culture now, we've spoken about
that that guys can't. They're finding it hard to get
club crickets because it takes two days to play a
game of cricket. And the guys and now our relationships
are different. Men have to do childcare, men have to
do shopping and domestic duties. It's all equal. Now you
can't spend two days doing your own.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Goof of Yeah, and all the guys get accused of
being a simp if they're attendive to their women by
who by other guys.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You can't play golf for four hours, you're a simp.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, But I think the world is changing where men
choose to spend time with their lives, the women go
to the pub with them. They're allowed to. Now life
is changing.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
In the old days, and you're old enough to remember this,
they used to just have the lady bar.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was for the man. That was the men's bar
and the woman.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I've heard of stories where the woman would sit out
in the car with the kids while the man was
in there for the six o'clock swill, and then he'd
get in and drive the car.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
These were the ears.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Women had no agency because they didn't earn a living.
They had no authority on their own, whereas now men
and women meet in the middle. And so that's why
things are changing. So when you look at your uncle's
thinking old school misogyny, how did that manifest? Just meaning
the way he spoke about I don't want I just
want to take off and not have women around me.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I don't want bossy women. I don't you know?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That was I don't want bossy women around me. I
want to do my own thing. And as I said,
Artie Patt was lovely, never never nagged him at all,
you know, it was just it was. It's interesting, it
was of a time. It was of a time for me.
My wife's always wanting me to get out of the house.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
She's gone boy sober. Sometime a house she went.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think she just went me sober.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
She's the lucky one.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Everybody kiss some more and a man's cousin black block.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
What's on the sweeping floors? Get the dust pan up?
What have you got there?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I've been reading a survey that says, and it's stuff
we probably know, but it's been officially decreed. The workers
are wasting time in meetings that could really be emails Atlasian,
which is well, the guys that runded in Australia's richest men. Really,
they've done a big survey. They looked at five thousand
(18:46):
knowledge workers across Australia, the US, India, Germany and France,
as well as one hundred executives from Fortune five hundred companies,
and they have estimated that twenty five billion hours of
work each year is lost due to inefficient old world practice,
says old world practices meaning old fashioned meetings that could
be done by email. Yeah, you're not a fan of
(19:08):
a meeting. We don't go to many meetings here. They
tried to get us to go to lots of meetings.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
In the early days when we were starting out.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Well, yeah, rookies, and we were rookies. You have to
go to all these meetings and eventually you say, look,
how about you all get up at the time we
do and see how you feel it. Two people.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
A lot of the meetings we go there. We had
one boss and he'd ask everyone about their weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And that wasn't him being polite, that was him trying
to bond us all.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, but it didn't work because what invariably would happen,
everything got pushed back and everyone got grumpy, and then
people started making up elaborate things for the weekend. Yes,
I went to I Summond the north face of Everest
on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
That's what I'll be doing.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, And he fell for that once, Brendan.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
He summered many faces at the Christmas party.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
But interestingly, as we moved to a more online world
and listen to these numbers, on average, businesses will spend
three hundreds send in this year alone, three hundred and
sixty one billion emails every single day.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And that number is going to go up by twenty
twenty seven to over four hundred billion emails a day.
That's as many as in my work inbox that I
have never checked. Amazing. Over half the world's population uses
email now. But if we're going to just not have
face to face meetings, are there ramifications for that? Because
with a lot of people who have started working from
home during COVID, people don't want to come back into
(20:27):
the office, and businesses are trying to get them to
come back into it because the face to face stuff
gives you not just a work culture, but it gives
you the serendipitous nature of creativity. You're talking to someone
while you're in a lunch room. We don't do that
stuff anymore. If you're talking to someone in the lunchroom,
you go and get a coffee with someone and you say,
what are you working on? What part of the business.
But you know, this is where ideas come from, and
(20:50):
we've taken that away from our workplaces. Now it's become
technology and task driven as opposed to human driven.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You just want a healthy balance.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Remember there was a time when a woman used to
bring a dog into the building all the time and
then just distracted every If you bring a dog in,
then that's pretty much twenty minutes gone, Oh it's a dog.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Whose dog is? What sort of dog is it? And
then no workers.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Getting What about the birthday cake?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I got a birthday cake. You know that is the
biggest goof off in the history of the world.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
And sign the card.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Sign the cart. Then you got to go and get
the cake.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Then you've got to gather everyone around together so they
can work.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Come off there and sing a song for the cake.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
My sister was telling a story.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
She was on maternity leave and she always had time
to kill and so.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
She was working in the office.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
She was wearing the office. So usually she's a pilot.
She lies the plane because she had the baby. They don't,
you know, let pregnant women fly planes. Possibly a wise thing.
So what happened was she thought to kill some time.
She found out everyone's birthdays and then organized in elaborate
cake because she said, you would literally kill forty five
minutes the almost second day, getting of the cake, gathering
(21:59):
people together, the speaker and get some plates, plates, cleaning
up the cake, all that sort of stuff. Then when
her birthday came around, absolutely nothing. She's the only woman
in an office of me.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Henny pennies. I'll buy the cake, I'll eat, but I won't.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Buy the cake.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
A little red hen who was Henny Penny?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Anny Beenny was the one that worried about that. That
was chicken.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Little Who's Henny Penny?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The chicken franchise got taken over by Big Rooster.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
All I feel like now is eating chicken and cake.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I could go, I could go a three piece feet.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Let's have a meeting in discribe.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Let's have a meeting. Everyone gather in. Okay, kids, that's
it for today. That was John c and a man's
coming room for that tomorrow. For some more
Yay. Hey the John Yay. It's cutting room for a time.
That's what time it is.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Friend, I don't know what you're talking like, Foghorn Leghorn.
Are they two people? Foghorn leg Horn? Right? I mean
chickens were two different ones.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Fog Horn Leghorn was the one person that you're thinking
of your seventy Sam, But there was voiced by the
same actor Mel Blank.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Okay, it's called that giant chicken a person, but Foghorn.
There wasn't fog Horn and Leghorn.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It was corn leg Horn. It was I said, boy, boy,
I say, And then you know.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Miss Prissy he is Remember Fogorn Leghorn, little doggie, You're
gonna get some lumps, Little doggie, You're.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Gonna get some bumbs. And then you're sementy Sam.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
So this is homework.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Wasn't I paid to see a diving act? I want
to seize me a diving act.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
These are all in your repertoire. That's adest thing I've
ever heard is that this is your material.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Okay, someone's enjoying this podcast?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
People that are listening to it? No doubt.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Why didn't we get a hold of today? You want
to talk.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Well, this is something I want to discuss with you
because it features in your life. And Ozzie mum was
left horrified after a son revealed his tattoo at the
departure gates at an international airport. So the son's leaving,
he's going to go overseas, and so he's wild oats
and as he's leaving to the departure gate, he rolls
up his sleeve and goes have a look at his mum.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
I've got me a tattoo.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And why was she upset?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Well, because you're a mother of children.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Would you be happy if they came home with tattoos?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, interestingly, and I know what you're referring to is
that the night before my son went overseas last year,
I gave him the usual lecture about don't experiment with drugs,
don't do things that can affect you for your whole life,
et cetera, et cetera, and he said, there's something I
need to tell you. I thought, oh, no, he had
(02:07):
a drug episode to happen.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
He's already done it.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well, he showed me a very small tattoo on his hip,
and I thought, oh, thank goodness, that's all it is,
because really there's no big deal. It's not a big
thing that takes up his whole face or any of
that stuff. A very small tattoo on his hip that
had some meaning to him. And I said, look, that's
I don't care, and I don't. I actually was quite
delighted because I knew very well he'd set the story up,
(02:33):
because I was anxious that he was going to tell
me a drug story. And he said, it was an
easy tats do you were delighted? I have a delighted
It was only a tatt I have a confession to make.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Jack revealed me to me that tattoo some time.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Ago before you before he told me before he told
you at my own.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Son's What were the circumstances?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
It was at my son's twentieth birthday party?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Do you remember that you couldn't make it? Jack came round.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So we're having a few drinks and I said, how
you being when just and he goes, have a.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Look at this, He revealed to me his tattoo on
his head.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Why did he show you?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't know? And I said, oh great, And then
I agonized about telling you or not.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I didn't before I did, I knew before you didn't,
but I had to keep his secret. He said, I
don't tell mom, and I said, well, okay, I'm not
going to tell your mum.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I liked it he didn't tell me. Actually, if he'd
murdered someone, I would expected you to tell me, well
I really got married. If he got married, like.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Suld let me just write this down. Murdered marriage, but tattoo.
But the kids these days, everyone's got a tattoo. Back
in my day, no one had tattoos. Only bikey's and
sailors had tattoos. Now everyone's got tattoos. I'm going to
make that. Used to be in the Hell's Angels motorcycle
club and he's got a big the.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Hell's Angels insignia on his neck.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And he was saying to me, you know, and he's
had that sinto his nineteen And he said to.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Me, he said, yeah, I was at the brewster and there's.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
A kid he's got a big skull tattooed on his neck.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
He goes, how do you look tough anymore?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Or if the kid, the pencil neck kid at the barista,
he's got the tattoo on his neck.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Well, what is the new image? Of looking tough. What
is it?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
How do you look tough? How do you look tough?
If you everyone's got tattoos, who's the tough guy? It's
hard to pick.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
When you think about it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, were the toughs. We are the ones who still
sit up the back of the bus smoking. They're the toughs.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Because more of my kids, except for Dominic, have got tattoos.
And I didn't think my daughter had a tattoo till
one day I caught her in the laundry are getting
changed and I noticed that she had a tattoo on
a hip.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Have you said anything to it?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well, I said, I said, hang on.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
He says, get out, I'm going what's this? And it's
a sweet pea on a hip?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Oh, because that's what you called me?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Said, but that's what you called me. And I said, well,
and you've got no comeback from that.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
No, that's right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And then my son Morgan, because he said to me
when I was about sixteen, can I get a tattoo?
And I said, mate, when you're eighteen, you can get
a tattoo. Okay, you're not getting one before you're eighteen.
That's what I did. And he went right here. I
got to twenty one and Noah's no tattoo, and I thought, oh,
we've dropped, you know, we've dodged the tattoo bought. Then
one day he comes home and he's got this giant
(05:10):
tattoo on his leg of a bear.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And I went, hang on, I thought we missed the tattoo.
But it and he said, no, I just used to.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Call him bear.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, no, I didn't. I don't know where he got
a bit grizzly bear.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I said, well, I said, hang on a minute,
but I didn't think you were getting a tattoo, and
he said no, I was just saying I was waiting
to save up for the right amount of money for it,
so I get a good one. And then he rang
me from a building side he was working at and
a tile had fallen off the wall and pierced his
tattoo into the He had to go to the hospital
and he said, and it's ruined a new tattoo.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And I went, oh, what a what a shame, What
a shame that is.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Do you remember what the Obamas did? Barrick and Michelle
Obama when their daughter was younger and she wanted to
get a tattoo. They said, all right, well how about
we'll get the same tattoo as you, So we'll come
along with you and get exactly this same tattoo, and
she never mentioned it again.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, because as a friend of mine says, when you're young,
it's like drawing on a pencil case. The stuff you'd
have put on your body is the stuff you'd have
put on your pencil case when you're fifteen, When you're
twenty twenty five, does it still define you. It's hard
to think of one image when you're younger that you
will love forever.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I don't understand the neck tattoo, you know, the full
neck tattoo.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Because there's no hiding that, and it looks.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Like a neck brace.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It actually looks like they've got they're wearing one of
those neck braces. I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Well, as they get older, it's going to have to
be cravat season all year round. And we were scared
our parents would see love bites.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Ye maybe Matt grab Preston.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's got a giant necktap.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's not a cravat at all.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It doesn't want his mom to know that's what he's.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Always Missiness Preston Matthew, what was done? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Anyway, anyway, I'm just off mic for a bit there
because I had to reach over and press record because
Jim I rise bug it off to wherever he goes.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
You're back now, I puffed from reaching over.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Doing the reach over. Hello Amanda.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Hello, I, as you know, follow a site on x
called fesshole and with people sometimes they're disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Give us one disgusting.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, someone saying that when they you know, they do
a number two in the shore and stomp it down.
You know that's what you asked for disgusting.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
What did you think?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh, when you pad a dog and it licks you? No, Oh,
you asked for disgusting.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I was sort of expecting the ladder, But then again,
with you, you always.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Go there, don't you.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, I don't always like the mankey ones, but I
thought this one you might have something to say about it,
because this is what you say about me. This person
has said, I really love my girlfriend, but she's an
absolute horrible television watcher. She seems incapable of just sitting
in peace and watching, asking a million simplistic questions. She's
got a PhD. But she turns into an absolute idiot
when watching a movie. I might have to break up
(08:04):
with her, And someone underneath the said, I wouldn't bother.
It's nearly all women. Nearly all women do that. And
someone else has said here underneath that. The lady behind
me at the Thing screening last night said to a partner,
why are they shooting at the dog? Her partner says,
very firmly, have you never seen a film before you
watch it and information is revealed?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, it's not like you've seen it before.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
I know.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's what Harley says. I've been watching this as long
as you have. He also says, while you're asking me
that question, I haven't heard the next bit that will
explain what's happening.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
You're very terrible at watching any sort of movie.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I will admit I have trouble following plots.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
There's no way, for example, you could watch Mission Impossible,
any of the Mission Impossibles.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
They're two convoluted spy dramas.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
YEP.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I can't handle.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
See Tom Cruise rip off his mask and say who's that. Oh,
that's Tom Cruise wearing a mask that makes him look
like Tom Cruise. I say, why would he do that
because it's mission impossible, you see.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You know what I do, though, I get distracted. So
if I'm watching a movie, I'll start googling on who
the actors are, and I'll start googling on who their
partners are and what their children's names are, and then
half an hour will pass and I'll say to Harley,
I haven't followed. We have to rewind.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
The other night, I was watching a movie called Age
of Adeline. Have you seen this before? No, it's got
Harrison Ford and it's Blake Lively and.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Her sister look Lively. If you're not going to giggle,
I will giggle it myself. Not a pun.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know. I've got nowhere to go with that puny.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, you giggle and enjoy them. Brendan, I've got nowhere
to go with you. But I fake a laugh every
now and then.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
You have never faked it with me in your life anyway. Adeline,
is this You're outlying because of this one? Okay, you
keep doing this, It's going to be a thing. Everything
I say is going to be a stupid pun.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Maybe maybe it's that day's so Adeline, for some reason,
when she's twenty nine, has this horrendous car accident, and
for some reason, some cosmic things, she falls in this
freezing river and then there's giant lightning stripe.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Don't wrong, you're telling me everything.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It stops her metamorphosizing or aging, so she wanted she
stays at the age of twenty nine. This is like
a female version of Highlander. You know Hilander Colin McLeod
of the Clan MacLeod, the man that cannot die, but
only until someone lops his head off with a sword.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well, this is like that, but without the swords and
the big scotsman.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is there romance?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, it's all about right, like the sound of that.
What happens with Adeline?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Don't tell me too much because I might see it, Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So in the sixties, she meets this young guy, young
smart doctor. This is played later on by Harrison Ford,
falls in love and he wants to propose to her
and all that sort of stuff. Then she realizes she's
immortal and she can't hang around, so she because people
start finding out that she's indeed been around for a
(10:54):
long time because she had a daughter and her daughter
is now the same age as her.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
You're telling me too much, okay.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
So anyway, years later, Adeline means this young guy who
she just is told he's this philanthropic guy that women like,
you know, always just like that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Stuff, and he's got a beard and Washboard's stomach.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Of course, she falls head over heels with him, and
she goes, you know, I can't because by this stage
he's one hundred and ten years of age.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And I'll have what she's having.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So the old mate takes her back to his house.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Harrison Ford's character opens the door and he says Adeline,
and she says, oh, no, no, that was my that
was my mother.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
And that's the whole thing as well.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And anyway, the movie is really good, except there's a
narration at the start and the finish, and I think
that narration it's for.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
People like me.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yes, so because would have been in.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The test screening and I said, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I don't understand it. Why has he got a broadsword?
So you can't watch Highlander? Can you?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
I've never seen it?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You've got Actually no, don't, Sully.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Remember when I saw a James Bond film with you.
I have a lot of trouble with James Bond films.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
That's James bond. Why is he hiding from any minute?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
There's a double cross on our No, I don't want
to get back to what happens when people do it
in the shower and stop it down back to your fishole.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I'll just go over here and switch this up. Cutting
room four.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I thought we talked about something called boys sober. This
seems to be a new trend, going boy sober or
girl sober that famous people like Julia Fox, Chloe Kardashi,
and Lenny Kravitz are all adopting celibacy. I mean, all
right for them, they've a lifetime of doing it. Yeah,
made up for the rest of us. The idea though,
(13:04):
of going boy sober, for example, is this is a
young TikToker who coined the term. So she's taken a
celibacy pledge for herself because she's just sat a headspace
was being taken up with too much. So there's no
dating apps, no dates, no exes, no situationships now hugs,
no kisses, she said. And you're not single if someone's
taking up brain space. So all those years that you've
(13:26):
spent out of a committed relationship is still yearning for
an X, don't She said that this is the plan,
is to go cold turkey and get rid of it
all and clear your head.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Well, you know that sounds appealing, and I'm married.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Because you're living that life already.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
The idea where you just you know, you don't have
to answer to anyone, well, this that would be kind
of cool. I guess I would get lonely, but it
would be cool just to not answer to anyone.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Because there are a lot of people who are just
obsessed with finding love, yeah, or finding hookups or whatever
it is. And we've had it. We've had a spike
in what they call sex positive feminism and the destigmatization
of women enjoying in casual sex. So this has now
been the thing. It's all the aby chatfields and whatever
I'm saying. Don't shame us, don't judge us. We're living
(14:14):
our lives. This is a reaction to that. The pendulum
is swinging again and the latest trend is reclaiming your
celibacy and going boy sober and clearing heads. Someone has
said here, I did it for six months and it
was literally life changing. It's like being what do they
call it, sober curious?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
This is boy sober, so sober curious is where you
try not drinking for a while and just clear system
out and see how you feel. This is the same
without the dating apps and all the swipes, etc.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Six months without sex, that's a walk in the park.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, she tried being married long term.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I could do that. Do it on the head.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
When you were young, would that ever have entered your
mind that you'd like to be celibate?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, But I wasn't one of those guys that was
out for women. You know, I had to chase women.
Women were sort of like it was great if they
came along into my life. But I wasn't on someone
that you know, I wasn't girl crazy. You know, those
guys are a girl crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
With our kids.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
There was one made of mine and I look at him.
He's still going, but he's not married, just still always
you know, he's fifty six, you know, and you know
I had a bit of a relationship there. He's got
a kid from this lady and a kid from another lady.
He just you know, I don't think he ever settled down.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, that's what they say.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
We talked about this about j Lo, that she has
trouble being satisfied. Yeah, maybe she should go boy sober.
If this is true, that should breaking up from Ben Affleck.
And apparently the house is on the market sixty four million.
If you're interested, she should go boy sober. And for
a while, did Taylor Swift go boy sober? Or she
just didn't talk about her relationships for a while because
(15:51):
people who had the public thinks that you're constantly on
the lookout for love. Yeah, kind of judge you in
a way, don't they. They think you're needy. So maybe
boy sober is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, it's because you look at guys.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
When guys get together as a group, they're always willing
to get away from the women. And I was thinking
about my late uncle Peter, and he was old school misogynist, and.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is the thing was his a LinkedIn profile and he
is thing.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
MIAI pad is the most lovely person. What I love
pat But he was so almost mean to run away
with his misogyny.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
And I used always think, but his thing was, I
don't want naging women telling me what to do. I
want to get away from the women, you know, always
getting away from the women.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
It was almost like they had their place.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Well, this is a different culture now, we've spoken about
that that guys can't. They're finding it hard to get
club crickets because it takes two days to play a
game of cricket. And the guys and now our relationships
are different. Men have to do childcare, men have to
do shopping and domestic duties. It's all equal. Now you
can't spend two days doing your own.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Goof of Yeah, and all the guys get accused of
being a simp if they're attendive to their women by
who by other guys.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You can't play golf for four hours, you're a simp.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, But I think the world is changing where men
choose to spend time with their lives, the women go
to the pub with them. They're allowed to. Now life
is changing.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
In the old days, and you're old enough to remember this,
they used to just have the lady bar.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I was for the man. That was the men's bar
and the woman.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I've heard of stories where the woman would sit out
in the car with the kids while the man was
in there for the six o'clock swill, and then he'd
get in and drive the car.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
These were the ears.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Women had no agency because they didn't earn a living.
They had no authority on their own, whereas now men
and women meet in the middle. And so that's why
things are changing. So when you look at your uncle's
thinking old school misogyny, how did that manifest? Just meaning
the way he spoke about I don't want I just
want to take off and not have women around me.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I don't want bossy women. I don't you know?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That was I don't want bossy women around me. I
want to do my own thing. And as I said,
Artie Patt was lovely, never never nagged him at all,
you know, it was just it was. It's interesting, it
was of a time. It was of a time for me.
My wife's always wanting me to get out of the house.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
She's gone boy sober. Sometime a house she went.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I think she just went me sober.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
She's the lucky one.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Everybody kiss some more and a man's cousin black block.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
What's on the sweeping floors? Get the dust pan up?
What have you got there?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I've been reading a survey that says, and it's stuff
we probably know, but it's been officially decreed. The workers
are wasting time in meetings that could really be emails Atlasian,
which is well, the guys that runded in Australia's richest men. Really,
they've done a big survey. They looked at five thousand
(18:46):
knowledge workers across Australia, the US, India, Germany and France,
as well as one hundred executives from Fortune five hundred companies,
and they have estimated that twenty five billion hours of
work each year is lost due to inefficient old world practice,
says old world practices meaning old fashioned meetings that could
be done by email. Yeah, you're not a fan of
(19:08):
a meeting. We don't go to many meetings here. They
tried to get us to go to lots of meetings.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
In the early days when we were starting out.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Well, yeah, rookies, and we were rookies. You have to
go to all these meetings and eventually you say, look,
how about you all get up at the time we
do and see how you feel it. Two people.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
A lot of the meetings we go there. We had
one boss and he'd ask everyone about their weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And that wasn't him being polite, that was him trying
to bond us all.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, but it didn't work because what invariably would happen,
everything got pushed back and everyone got grumpy, and then
people started making up elaborate things for the weekend. Yes,
I went to I Summond the north face of Everest
on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
That's what I'll be doing.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, And he fell for that once, Brendan.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
He summered many faces at the Christmas party.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
But interestingly, as we moved to a more online world
and listen to these numbers, on average, businesses will spend
three hundreds send in this year alone, three hundred and
sixty one billion emails every single day.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And that number is going to go up by twenty
twenty seven to over four hundred billion emails a day.
That's as many as in my work inbox that I
have never checked. Amazing. Over half the world's population uses
email now. But if we're going to just not have
face to face meetings, are there ramifications for that? Because
with a lot of people who have started working from
home during COVID, people don't want to come back into
(20:27):
the office, and businesses are trying to get them to
come back into it because the face to face stuff
gives you not just a work culture, but it gives
you the serendipitous nature of creativity. You're talking to someone
while you're in a lunch room. We don't do that
stuff anymore. If you're talking to someone in the lunchroom,
you go and get a coffee with someone and you say,
what are you working on? What part of the business.
But you know, this is where ideas come from, and
(20:50):
we've taken that away from our workplaces. Now it's become
technology and task driven as opposed to human driven.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You just want a healthy balance.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Remember there was a time when a woman used to
bring a dog into the building all the time and
then just distracted every If you bring a dog in,
then that's pretty much twenty minutes gone, Oh it's a dog.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Whose dog is? What sort of dog is it? And
then no workers.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Getting What about the birthday cake?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
I got a birthday cake. You know that is the
biggest goof off in the history of the world.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
And sign the card.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Sign the cart. Then you got to go and get
the cake.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Then you've got to gather everyone around together so they
can work.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Come off there and sing a song for the cake.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
My sister was telling a story.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
She was on maternity leave and she always had time
to kill and so.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
She was working in the office.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
She was wearing the office. So usually she's a pilot.
She lies the plane because she had the baby. They don't,
you know, let pregnant women fly planes. Possibly a wise thing.
So what happened was she thought to kill some time.
She found out everyone's birthdays and then organized in elaborate
cake because she said, you would literally kill forty five
minutes the almost second day, getting of the cake, gathering
(21:59):
people together, the speaker and get some plates, plates, cleaning
up the cake, all that sort of stuff. Then when
her birthday came around, absolutely nothing. She's the only woman
in an office of me.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Henny pennies. I'll buy the cake, I'll eat, but I won't.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Buy the cake.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
A little red hen who was Henny Penny?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Anny Beenny was the one that worried about that. That
was chicken.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Little Who's Henny Penny?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The chicken franchise got taken over by Big Rooster.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
All I feel like now is eating chicken and cake.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I could go, I could go a three piece feet.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Let's have a meeting in discribe.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Let's have a meeting. Everyone gather in. Okay, kids, that's
it for today. That was John c and a man's
coming room for that tomorrow. For some more
