Misadventures you've been regaling us with stories recently of house
sithing and.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Into the microphone.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
We've all house sat before, but never with the adventures
that you seem to run up against.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You seem to make it more difficult than it need
to be.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yes, take us through what's happening at the moment.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Okay, So I'm a professional, almost professionally house sitting because
I'm trying to buy an apartment in this econdo.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Me. Yes, and.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
Look, I have how sat for ever, like I've done
a lot of stuff. I've you know, I seem to
have a strange affinity with the guinea pigs, but I'm
great with a cat dog too. Yeah, yeah, and you
know I've had to wipe a British bulldog's bum before.
But this that does not top the cat that I
am housitting at the moment, who we will refer to
as Tinky, which is actually its name, and it's my parents'
(13:17):
neighbor's cat, and she is psychotic. So I'm trying to
establish myself as an alpha. So I'm with Chinky Tinky.
So I'll come to the top of the driveway. She's
just at like nose pressed against the glass of the window.
Staring at you, and then she sort of slowly sort
of like descends back from the curtains and you go
(13:38):
into the house and you're like, where is she? And
you just hear this and she's like, fly kicked you
and like bitten you. And I don't know, call me
just comes out of nowhere, comes out of nowhere, and
call me old fashioned. But I was on the impression
don't bite the hand that feeds exactly, and she is
just going absolutely psycho and you're doing to feed her,
(14:02):
like a couple of times I'm out and my parents
will go feed her. And my dad's actually invested in
heavy duty gardening gloves.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
I had a friend come over the other day and
I said, you'll have to wear jeans. You need a
thick cotton because you will get a.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Ta Yeah, two pairs of corduroy.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Yeah, thick, a thick coiter. But yeah, So I'm terrified
every day dealing with her. And I guess I'm trying
to establish myself as this alpha I go in and
I start hissing, and I'll start I'll go like a cartoon.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I'll go, yeah, you're dealing with it from Chinky's level.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Yeah, I was like, I've got to get inside the
mind of a deranged cat, geriatric cat.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Did you guys get off on the wrong foot or
the wrong paw as the case? Maybe did you do something?
Is there anything that you can think of that maybe
I did something to get the cat offside?
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I think did you laugh at it? Or something?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah? Every Maybe about the name.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
I've heard about Tinky for years and I never met
her because my parents would look after her for the
neighbor when I was living overseas, and they'd be like, oh, Tink,
Like my dad's got that sort of old tissue paper
skin and yeah, he's like in ribbons and he'll be like, oh, Tinky, have.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
You ever gone tinky.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Name?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
It's such a silly name.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Maybe she's coming at you for that.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
But I've heard, I've heard, like, I've heard the lore
of Tinky and I didn't believe it.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And yeah, I am.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
I'm terrified. I've actually meant to be sleeping there, but
I don't. I'm too scared, So I sleep at my
parents house next door.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Lock the door.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
How much longer have you got to go?
Speaker 7 (15:30):
I've got another three weeks and now, but a tink,
you think this is psychotic. She only drinks from a
water glass, like a tall You have.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
To hold it for her.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Are we talking a high ball or a high.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Ball, like a high ball, like a long glass of water?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, a tall glass of water, twist of lemon.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
But yeah, she's moving. They're moving, her owners, moving to
retirement village. So Tinky is leaving the neighborhood in three weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh, you want to get as much Tinky as you
can while you can as much Tinky time.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Lots of people to attack and the retirement.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Sometimes you walk past and she's just staring herself in
the mirror, like in the dark.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Evil Jinky sounds awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Cats are like that, though, aren't they. You know, they
always look unimpressed. They always look, you know, like what
are you looking at?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Yeah, I'm sure she'll raise hell at the retirement village,
no doubt.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, either that or she'll go missing.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Possible.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
But we look forward to hearing more about the tales
of Tinky and whatever else is going on in your
life soon.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
I'm thinking sooner rather than later.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
Don't get me started on the dating. But anyway, I
don't worry.
Speaker 5 (16:47):

Speaker 3 (16:48):

Speaker 1 (16:56):
More of Lisa and Muscle's podcast.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's on the.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
Way suit morning mate, sort of just recovering from the
Sandover medal.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Still this works in.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
With the parenting thing because you're like a proud papa. Yeah,
Charlie Constable.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
Yeah, charged over there and gave him a big hug
when his name was announced as a Sandover medalist.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
Yeah, he's our co captain at Perth. Fantastic guy, great family.
He is a Victorian, but you know, don't hold that
against him. He played for Geelong and the sons came
over here to help us out. He's actually got a
couple of good. Mate's best mate is Andy Brayshaw from
the Dockers and ham Issue plays for East Berth.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yes, and he's also a Sandover medallist.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
So guess who stormed into the pent house after the
after the event to.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Celebrate with him.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
Andy and Hamish of course, and his footy's equivalent of
having the Hemsworth brothers turn up.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
That's what it was like. You know, they came and.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
And Andy's bitty about the freeo mate and all that
but and the other thing is, I don't know if
you know this, but you get a Subiaco paver with
your name on it.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Okay, so yesterday morning.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Are they still alongside with the Yeah? Where the oval?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah? He goes around.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Yeah, and so they put your name down there. So
you get a bit of real estate in Subi as well.
So that's pretty good for posterity. Actually, you know, there's
a guy called Aaron Black who also want a sound
up a medal. And he works at Bob Hoak College,
which is right next to a step on himself all
the time. Yeah, which is right next to see over.
But because he's a teacher, what he does is if
(18:39):
the kids play up, he sends him out to go
and find his name.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And polish it.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
It's like a humble brag as well as a he's
a clever man.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
So I've got a bit of Brownlane news too. I
think this shill rock your socks off. I believe this
year at the.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
Brown Line met All which is next Monday night of
course in Melbourne, and all the stars going, there's the
red carpet, which is normally the highest rating part actual
red carpet, isn't it blue?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Carpet. Yeah, on the on the blue carpet called the
red carpet.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
But yeah, brown carpet doesn't sound very appetizing.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Like hawthorns jumpers.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's not a shag.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Hawthorns jumpers are called Pooh and Wi.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Primary school.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
I don't know why I threw that in, but anyway,
so back to the Brownlow Medal. The crazy part is
the highest rating part of it is the red carpet.
But now I believe the AFL is saying, look, the
Brownlow is about the fairest and best player in the
competition as opposed to who's got the hottest girlfriend or partner.
So you're only getting in if you're actually going to
get some boats. So for example, last year Paris, Paris,
(19:54):
Bishop was an absolute start. Her partner Essen and Sam Durham.
He placed rest and obviously was a very good player
last year, and she got in and she was she
was sort of a credit to being the best dressed,
a bit like beck jud that year. The red dress,
this amazing, amazing dress.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Famous Jennifer Lopez's MTV Awards.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Dress, exactly right.
Speaker 8 (20:18):
Last year she wore a custom rose gold dress okay,
and just killed.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
It and no one's going to keep Beck out of.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
The keeps getting one because he has won one.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Yeah, Chris, but this girl, Paris Bishop, I don't think
she's getting an invite because Sam didn't play better well enough?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So does that mean they're going to have fewer people
at the Brown Low?
Speaker 8 (20:40):
No, same number, but just based on nothing to do
with fashion.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Or how good looking new girlfriend is.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Or whether I didn't based on anything other than how
good you played to begin with?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Well no, well, see this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
How literally inviting people based on how good looking their
girlfriend is, well ratings, it's just.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Going to say houses to affect the old Blue carpet
ratings and.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Some of the ugly did votes, the ugly fellows, they've
probably haven't got girl friends as well.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Their footballers they've got girl friends.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Can you imagine they might not be if they're not
going to get brown Low invites anymore.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Yeah, that's gonna that's going to make it hard think
about That's a big change, Paris Bishop. I think about her,
she'd be all year working getting fit again.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I'm going to spend a lot of time today thinking
about Powers Bishop.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
There's no chance to go back to back for her,
and she.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Doesn't go in because her boyfriend couldn't kick straight anyway.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Chat with Russell and bar Bara's got some thoughts this
morning on a on a technique called gentle parenting.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Yeah, well, just as we've been doing this segment, people
have been sending me stuff and someone said you should
research gentle parenting.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And I've never heard.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
About it in the past, and having grown up at
a very strict household, I was actually a ghast that
this was happening.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
I didn't actually know.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
Apparently it's all the rage basically means no yelling, no punishment,
no raised voices, just calm reasoning.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
And it's even with really young kids.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Yeah, after school care people have told me and teachers Darling,
don't throw the ball at daddy's head.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
It makes him sad. It makes him sad.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Don't run on the road in front.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Of that car.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, you'll damp the bumper.
Speaker 8 (22:34):
Well, even if you put your kid on a slippery
dip or something, you don't be careful.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
You have to say what's your plan here?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And like I found this because I'm a bit like you,
I'd never really heard of it before. But demands not
to touch something can be communicated by saying things like,
let's use our gentle hands.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
On gentle hands hands on that pot of boiling water
when we pull it down on.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Our hand, Yeah, that gets a big run. But when
a three year old bite someone at daycare, I reckon,
they go darling, how do you think Tommy felt when
you gnawed on his arm like a chicken wing.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That's actual true story, darling. How did you feel?
Speaker 8 (23:15):
Okay, sweetheart, I know you're upset about not being able
to have ice cream for dinner, but let's unpack those feelings.
Let's unpack the who wants to do It's like hostage negotiations.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I'll tell you what. Put the iPad down. No one
needs to get hurt.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But see, this doesn't This doesn't prepare them for the
real world because you can sit there and do that
and you know we care about them. But then when
they go out into the real world and people who
don't care about them, when they get a job, or
when they go too high school or university, they're not
going to be prepared for it.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
No, I don't, but I don't.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
I think it's it's a wave that's sweeping the nation
and you're not you go to university now, they're not
allowed to speak to kids in any negative sense at all.
The professors are absolutely petrified about getting, you know, some
sort of charge against them.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
It's the whole participation trophy thing.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Eventually life is going to hurt. You might as well
get prepared for it that you're not. Everyone wins every time.
Speaker 8 (24:11):
So you reckon Channel liam N I will find you
go to bed now.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Just just leave the last bit out of what we've
got A.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Text from Steve and Miranda who wants to know, what
do you think kids need more of from their parents today? Well,
this is very much related to what you're talking about.
They maybe need a.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Bit more tough love. I exactly, discipline, but there's you know,
there's discipline, and then there's this. There have always been
parents who go too far and who are can be cruel,
So you don't want that more discipline.
Speaker 8 (24:50):
And I would add more hugs as well, because that's
in my family.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Hugging wasn't a big thing.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Yeah, that's our generation.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Yeah, and saying I love you seems to be the
hardest thing to say.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Sometimes also our generation.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
I reckon, I reckon, you need to say that. Actually
I did hear from one of the gentle parenting people.
How is this is a classic. Mum told me the
other day, she said, you can't even say I'm so
proud of you, little Johnny. You got to say because
that focuses on the parent. You say, I'm so proud
of you.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You need to say.
Speaker 8 (25:22):
Talking about the snowball. You need to say you should
be so proud. So you can't use the eye work.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
They're pretty much proud enough. This new generation, I think themselves.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
And you can't rush them. You can't say, hurry up,
we've got to leave. No, No, you got to sort
of negotiate. Are we almost ready to grab your shoes?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
There?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Not in my house? Not in my house?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
How late would you be exactly?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
You'd never get there, you wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And the school, And what about when they do have
to be somewhere on time? Exactly when this is?
Speaker 4 (25:51):
This?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Is this where they learn exactly leaving the house and
getting somewhere quickly and going to bed, that would be
that's when gentle parenting really gets tested.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yeah, absolutely, we're going.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
To leave in the shops.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
What about when they have to start a job on timeatly?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
What about? What about this?
Speaker 8 (26:09):
Did you ever get this one? You guys, I can't
wait to get you in the car. When I get
you in the car, you're in so much trouble. Or
wait for the old one. The old school one was
wait till dad gets.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Wait till your father gets home.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
Imagine the poor old dad having to come home and
discipline kids. I imagine you work hard. I mean women
do as well. I'm just saying in the old time,
dad comes Sam and Jesus, I'm tired. You've got to
go and discipline the kids that.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Wait till your father got home, and then ask your mother.
I never ending circle of confusion. I get that that
can go, but.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I'll be hopeless.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
You know some boundary.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I was always told that kids actually do like to
have some sort of boundaries.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I don't know where you stand.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
But yeah, you've got to negotiate with them and just
make sure you know their feelings.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
That's only if you subscribe to gentle parenting, which I
think they must not.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Have a fastage situation.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
You can't even give awards that I believe it after care.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
You can't even give awards for the best kid of
the day because other kids miss out or someone's kid
hasn't got one, and the parents can plain, so they
have canned best Kid of the day.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
At the end of the day, the world's gone mad.
The world's gone mad, all right, well, thank you both,
Thank you g. I don't think we're fully subscribed to
this gentle parenting thing.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
We're changing the world.
