Speaker 2 (00:17):
On the freeheart appe.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Robin and Kidd now Victorios the podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yes a huge rollout. Who's happening today? So it's a
service for teen for ubers. It's actually been in Queensland.
It's been in Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and act since
last April, but the biggest states with the more population
went well, we'll let the other ones have a crack first,
so today New South Wales, Victoria and West Australia are

(00:47):
coming on board. The service will allow children older than
thirteen to catch rides with drivers who've been working with
children's checks, so they've got blue cards and they will
give parents the option to.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Track their children's journey.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
It'll cost you an extra two bars, but they're using
According to Uber, only high rated experienced drivers will be
eligible for the service, and there's going to be a
three way into com feature, a four digit pin verification
and an optional audio recording which will record.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
The entire trip. So they're putting all these safeguards in place.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
But I do know parents who've been using this in
Queensline for a while and it works really well.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Really yeah, we really yeah, I mean, is this such
a big deal?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Well when I put my kids in ubers, Like yeah,
I think I'm just trying to think when this wasn't
a thing just because there's a single parent, there were
times when things went terribly wrong and I had to
get them from the one place to another.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Then what do you mean they're not that to my children?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Or even cabs the same type of deal as well. Yeah,
and yeah, I feel like we're so much more protective
now though, Like even just like school, Like I'm Rember.
Just at primary school, you know, you just say because
we were walking distance from school by and off we'd go.
We just walk to school. There there was no drop
off at the door like now literally with RAF, you

(02:08):
literally can get he leaves my site only when he's
in the sight of another responsible person and then I
pick him up at the same sort of way. There's
no way, well that's the rules.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Oh you have to do it.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, he can't get out out of the gate.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
But I think there's more dangers now, if I'm honest,
there really is. I feel like it just it happens more.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Oh, there's more publicity afraid.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, yeah, it's because it happens more. I think it does.
But like where right, and it's a bit different, but
half skill. If we had training, you wouldn't even talk
to your parents about it. I'd see it dinner.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
If one and day weren't picking this up and we'll
get dropped off by some friends, we'll see it dinner.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
A country town is a little bit different because you
actually know everyone in it. Yeah, so someone will drop
your home at some point.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Let's let's this will be fun. Thirty one o six
fives out number. What's the loosest thing you did as
a kid, because I remember, and you would never be
able to do this now. I remember friends of ours
had a trailer and we had to take stuff to
the tip, and so the thrill was, you know that
before or five of us kids would be in the
trailer being towed behind a car full of rubbish and

(03:22):
we'd go all the way to the tip and it
was super fun. It was the best and we loved it.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
And that was wildly illegal. Well it is now, ye,
come on, kids, put your hands inside.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, back then, it was just having a bit of fun.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Maybe don't throw the foam off the Edges guys thirteen
six five.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
We do have a two hundred dollars soak bathhouse gif
foucher to give away and coming up next to I'll
tell you the fact that my mother put me on
an international flight to spend twenty four hours by myself
at the age of fifteen.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah. What's the loosest thing you did as a kid?

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Thirty one oh six y five, Kylie of Stafford Heights.
What was it?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (04:02):
We had a big drain pip pipe across the road
from where we lived, and all the kids in the
neighborhood on school holidays we walk up through the drain
pipes and you just the game was who could get
to the further sector without being scared?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh my goodness, So you're going into into a dark pipe,
just crawling into it.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
No, No, you could walk through these huge ones.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
You had the big storm waters.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah, so it was obviously sometimes raining and we would
be up these, you know, and die.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You don't think about that day, You think about.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Scared you could be dead.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
What's the loosest thing you did thirty one day six five?
Would you do it? It's hard to say because Rafi
is still only six. It's a long way away, but
I feel like six seven years from now, yeah, he'll
be ready.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
I think I do. Think it's based on the kids.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, and maybe a bit of my parenting because my
children did that a lot.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, as single parents, you must have to.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, I think it's a I think you have a
different level of fear because you also just have to
get through it again.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Done.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
But I will say, and we're asking about what is
the loosest thing you did as a kid in different time?
We didn't have mobile phones when I was fifteen, but
I was an exchange student in America and my mum
put me on an international flight too, and I had
to get to Atlanta, Georgia. I flew into lax I,
then took myself to the Hilton Hotel, which she had

(05:35):
pre booked, but I got myself on a boss, went
to the Hilton, checked myself in, then took myself to
Disneyland because the flight wasn't till weigh like at midnight
the next night. So I went and hung out in
Disneyland by myself fifteen, and then got on that plane
to Atlanta and met up with my host family. It
was I did it, Yeah, and I wanted to do it,

(06:00):
and I was fine. I mean I did a reverse
charge phone call back to mum at one point, but
I was just like, yeah, okay, let's go.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, yeah, I don't reckon. My twenty two year old
nephew could do that, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, But again I was raised by a single mom.
It was like, do you want to do it? And
I went, yeah, I want to do it.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
It's a lot of real farm kid. Some of the
crazy things we did was like in the back of
the year no, so me and my brother used to
do this thing because they had dogs. The chains and ropes,
so if we're in the back would hold onto the
chain and the rope and just hold on for dear life.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Who's driving?

Speaker 7 (06:31):
Dad?

Speaker 8 (06:33):
I would see, we have a two hundred dollars Soker
bath house about you to give away in time for
Father's Day?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Step of Ormiston. What happened? What was the loose thing
you did?

Speaker 7 (06:49):
So?

Speaker 9 (06:49):
I also grew up in a little country town and
Dad would go to the pub for dinner. I have
too many drinks and we would end up driving Rome.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Dad's two drinks and the kids d yeah that sound.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
What's the cupboarde?

Speaker 10 (07:10):
See you at the bar and go, well, someone lens,
what's that list thing.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
You did as a kid?

Speaker 11 (07:23):
Well based and foremost what didn't I do as a kid,
but now what. I grew up in Liverpool in the UK,
so we didn't get the warmest let's say, of weathers.
But one crack in summer when I was about twelve
thirteen years of age, it was plus thirties and yeah,
as kids, we decided, oh, hang on, we could make
some money and eat ice cream. So we're just outside

(07:45):
of the estate that we lived, there was an ice
cream factory and they used to run from the production
plans to the actual warehouse where they'd store them the
ice creams. But they'd do it on a convey system
that run on the roof. So we decided, oh, that
would be a good idea because you've got service panels
on the roof. So about six of us decided to go.

(08:06):
We jumped up, cracked up in the services one of
us and we were almost like in a chain.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
If you're like from the ground upwards, and these bostors
had come along with ice cream, Snickers, Mars bars, you
name it. We'd pull her off the conveyor system and
pass it one after the other, all the way down
until we got enough of them.

Speaker 11 (08:24):
And then we decided to go selling them on the estate,
which was a win because we were selling them cheaply,
so we made some money and we also got to
indulge in the ice cream.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Were like a little den of thieves.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
That's like a cartoon, Like, just did it broke that place?

Speaker 11 (08:44):
What did it go?

Speaker 7 (08:45):
Right?

Speaker 11 (08:46):
No? No, it's still going now.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Came of Karenda.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
What did you do as a kid?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Not me, but my husband. He lived in Canada and
he used to jump from roof to roof over the
nuns roots.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
What the nuns were they? So they were close enough
somehow they were.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
Really close houses and you.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Just jumped from roof to roof from roof ye.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
And my mom was also the son of a policeman
back in the day, and they used to play handball
on a Sunday morning against the back of the little
watchhouse from all the overnight drunk play handball and get abused.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Just the thudding sound of the handball. When I get
out of here, I'm going, oh man. There were so
many good calls coming through as well. Keep the coming
on the text line. Oh for oh, nine nine seven
three nine seven three.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Who do you want to give their two hundred dollars to?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Not that I want to.

Speaker 8 (09:38):
Encourage it, but it's a country scene that I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
And the fact that Steph lived through her dad home.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Hey Steph, well done.

Speaker 9 (09:49):
Thanks guys, two.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Hundred bucks to spend at Soak bath House.

Speaker 9 (09:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Pleasure socks are good, but Soak bath House gift cards
are better. I don't know if you want to give
this to your dad for Father's Day or maybe keep
it for yourself.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
I keep it today.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
You deserve it.
