Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I got the parts for this kick and chat
machine that I was building all by myself and involves
only three pieces of wood and four hinges, and I
wanted to make this little it's like a soccer game
that The idea is that you can put it anywhere.
You can have an new backyard, front yard, you can
take it to schools wherever you want to be. And
the idea is that you can have a kick with
someone and then have a nice, honest conversation.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Because particularly and I know this is mother of only sons,
you can't talk to them eyeball to eyeball. You've got
to be doing something else. So this is ideal.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
And yesterday I was doing something else as well, because
I was not only putting this thing together, but also
I had my four year old Raffi with me, and
I was trying to give him other things to do,
because it's just he and I trying to give him
other things to do. But of course I'm standing there
with drills and things. I mean, what do you reckon?
He wants to be part of He wants to be
playing with the drill. I had wet paint, so at

(00:49):
one stage this is I had my camera set up
on the fence, okay, to capture the moment of me
putting it all together, because I thought I'll be able
to do like a instructural video on how to build
this thing.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Now we should say that we have learned in the
past when it comes to you and Raffi, that you
do get super frustrated that because he's four and there's
always chaos that surround him, you can't finish set jobs
and you find that innately frustrating.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Well, have a listener to this. This is me trying
to do the drilling and him coming up with different
remote control cars and things that he wants me to
drive instead of finishing the machine. Can I just finish
this please, Bud.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I've never d that car. Wait car.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yet. So I've got like twelve holes to drill. I
get to two and he's like, now let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Okay, So how have you managed him? Because that's a drill?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah it was a drill, yap, he was okay, I mean, yes,
he stayed over to the site, although the wet paint
was not great. Yes, We've got a video going up
shirt soon of him of me just go now that
that's that's wet buddy, so don't touch it. And I'm
standing there and just going touch first, like he cannot
not touch it, And so I picked him up once
he'd done that and took him over to the camera

(02:17):
to have a little bit of an introduction.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I got a visitor.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
What do you think of the paint? I got a visitor.
You're the visitor. What do you think of.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
The smell of the paint?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Smell good? No, it stinks? Is it? What it's an ant? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Paint?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Does it? It is the paint sticky? Did you touch it?
Did Dad tell you not to touch it? He shaked?
He shaking, And no, didn't tell me.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
That Ann has got into the paint. Absolutely, that's he's
trying to blow it off. Well, Dad is more focused.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
On the fact that yeah, but the final result is
coming through the door right now, Robin Bailey are fully taintled,
fully made kick and chat machines, complete with sloping legs
in case you want to.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
And producer just dropped it.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I don't think it can handle dropping.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
That's also on video.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
But see how those hinged legs they pop out freezy transport.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Men and yes, very well time, thank you. That is
so impressive. Okay, So the thing is and we will
have all this up on video so everyone can see.
We need to logo it.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yes, we do have a big.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Kiss ninety seven three logo on it. And the idea
is is that you chip a ball over the board, yes,
and it gets caught and it's got to go on
the full.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's got to go on the full. It can't bounce in.
And there's two versions. You can flip it up and
then it's on an angle and it's even harder. H
that's for your master's round.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I am so impressed. Are you wearing your pants with
the pockets in it?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
No, they've gone into retirement for rewards in those pockets
for a job. That sounds weird

Speaker 2 (04:01):
In my line that everyone put us in a week
