Speaker 3 (00:27):
Now, I have a public service and announcement, and that's
what I normally say when I'm about to complain about
something I think I think people can benefit listen up,
because I think there's a there's a situation that that's
happening in my house, and I'm sure it's happening in
other houses. So I have not only do I have
my own family at home, but also have Pete and Amanda,
(00:49):
our friends who they're raising their house at the moment
like a reno, so they're staying with us.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I thought that was supposed to be like a two
week proposition. Okay, so we're a month in Deeps month
in and so Kip is already annoyed.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm not complaining about that. No, they're they're lovely house guests.
But there's a thing.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
And and not only do we have so we have
my families Who've got Naomi my partner. We've got the
two kids. Obviously Sienna's not you know, she's only one,
she just started walking. But then we also have Nanny Pearl,
my future mother in law who's often helping out with Sienna.
And it seems that not one person in the house
is responsible except for me for the drain thing in
(01:34):
the kitchen sink, the thing that catches all the food
scraps that get washed off your plates, that is constantly
full of food, constantly full of food, and it's my job.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It seems no one else's job to take that out.
And it's gross. But whatever I see it full, I
take it out. Okay, tap it in the bin, put
it back in. Mm hmm. Why is no one else
doing it?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Because there's a little fairy that comes along.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Takes care of me, that's what people must be thinking.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But why does that irritate you so much?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Because it's gross and so sometimes it's so full that
it's now no longer in there, and it's in it's
getting into the sink, it's getting into the pipes.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm going to have to clean the pipes out one
of these days. Shock.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Come on, you don't do it. I mean, you live,
so it's your responsibility. They don't have a fair Yeah,
and you're.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Not often washing noodles. That's the other thing. When you
clear your plate, how about putting some stuff in the bin.
The sink is not a bin.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Okay, So is this a new phenomenon or has this
been something that is progressively like are we going to
put fingers?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I know that Naomi thinks it's my job, okay, and
that's and I'm used to that now because that's just
the way it works.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And so I'm doing it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
But I'm not copping it from Pete and Amanda and Pearl.
It's too many people who are not cleaning out the
sink drain. And now I'm starting to look at Naomi
and going, look, it's everyone's job. If you see it full,
take it out, put it in the bin, don't leave
it for someone else.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's much more fun watching you go off. I mean, Siri,
what is it?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Do you want support on this? Yes? What sort of
support do you want? That? It's everyone's job? I know, Maddie,
who's our producer?

You live at home, You've got a fairly new relationship.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You're a young couple. Whose job is it?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
It is one hundred percent whoever makes the mess you
has to clean it out because that is disgusting to
leave it for someone else.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, okay, but if they're not noticing it and it's
not bothering them as much then the.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Little that's because your doesn't bother you. You're a pig.
Clean it up. It's gross animals, animals, thank you, Kip.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
When it comes to absolutely everything else in your house,
you don't.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Notice, but I notice this, okay, and so bring it
out of everyone's attention for twelve months.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I've got a robot. You're a robot that takes care
of that.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You go, you go, you I agree, PSA sink dunk
is everyone's responsibility. It's your own responsibility.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Thank you. By the way, I'm not being racist. Yuko
is the name of the robots brand. It's just it's fine.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Think you would be well, why did you roll your
eyes at me, Robin? Because no one else saw the
eye roll. I saw it because you were like Yiko. Yeah,
because how dare you give her a Japanese name? Her
name is Yiko? Okay. You have a machine for that, yes,

this on the drain strainer?

a lot of my family doesn't really want to because
it's really gross.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yes, how did you get that job, Maddie?
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Because I'm one of the eldest girls. My brother is
the oldest. He's thirteen, but he's usually doing his homework
because he's in high school and he has a lot
more than us.

be able to pass the mantle to a Nook and
the gross drain will be her problem?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
It's an issue that are dividing families, and people are
coming in thick and fast.

This is going off with me almost as many calls
about this as the million dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, because it.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Is something when people have come up with solutions and
I'm not sure you're going to like many of them.

or you can just call the support if that's what
you feel like doing.

Jody here from Spring Mountain.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I get a kip.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
This too drives me insane. It's the kid's job to
do the dishes. And yet yes, they leave the sink
and they leave all the food in it. Every morning
I have to change it. And this one's anonymous. Please
put your names. You guys just earned me a lecture
from mum. Someone's blow Oh yes, once I finish the
dishes and they're could be food and young stuff and
(07:11):
the drain thingy and I leave it and Mom's not happy.
Speaker 2 (07:14):

mum's right. Harry Hanne's blowing up.
Speaker 3 (07:19):

that does it and it stinks.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Okay, tomorrow of churs mead, what's your solution.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Kip, positive or negative? It's positive. Have a family meeting,
just say I want to talk to you guys. Don't
take this, don't take this the wrong way. Can you
please take the rubbish or the stinky stuff out of
the stink please. I don't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm going to take photos. I'm going to have I'm
going to have slides and I'll go exhibit A, exhibit B.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And you know what, when you start to do and
Raffi's all most of the age where you're putting on
the fridge of the chores for the week.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, that could be one of them.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Someone's got to empty it out.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Get him trained early, Jesse Arana Hills.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
I am fired up, Kip.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Yeah, you're with me, got anger in me?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
You are so right. I am so sick of it
to you. And you know what's even worse when it's
so full that people keep using the sink and this
just starts to fill up.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And then it floats.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
So yeah, and it'll all floats and legally gunk on
the side because they can't be bother doing it. Maybe
the only solution is that you throw it in their room.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Oh wow, just give it a tap out in the bedroom.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You know you had dirty dishes and people leave everywhere,
and put that in their room. Maybe we can use
the plug and just put the plug into their bedroom
until they figure it out.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You do that to Naomi and I want video. I
like it Money of South Brisbane. What would you like
to say?
Speaker 8 (08:54):
So I'm the drain cleaner in our house? Well I was,
and then I got a machine to do it for me. kIPS,
get a garbage. Suppose that it will change your life.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Now you go. You could give it a name. It
could become a personality within the house. We used to
have one of them. They are they still leave good money.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
Yeah yeah, And the Bristoane City Council gives you a
rebate because they're environmentally friendly and the bonuses. You don't
have to put the bin out it often because you
don't have all the scraps in the bin snowing up
the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
Okay, that was a game changer, and there's no more arguments.
Or it has pushed the little button and it goes away.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
If it goes and every now and then you leave
a spoon in there and you hear it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Remember that the ones.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
From our childhood where they could eat your terrified. He's
possibly not what the Brisbane City Council are offering.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I remember mom and Dad had a monster in the sink.
That's all that was
