I'm a believer that dogs and cats can see through time.
(00:27):
Just comes from listener Michael. Wow, have you ever seen
your pets sitting and staring at nothing?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, it doesn't mean they're necessarily looking back in.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Dark that's Jack most of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I don't think he's looking at how the Egyptians made
those pyramids.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
If only could tell us.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's my theory that they are seeing something that was
there in the past or will be in the future.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
What do you guys think.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I think they're just sitting there.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I think they're just daydreaming.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
They're just well, if it's Larry my cat, he's just
hoping that a bird drops turn out the sky into
the garden. He can go and torture or Maine, I
have a question from the mum's and dawns. Listen to
show right now and both of you two, Jack and Pats. Okay,
both of my daughters have recently, in the last couple
of weeks start to call me mate.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I'm so disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I'm not a fan, not a fan, right, and I
don't know whether this is a thing and I should
just get over it. But I keep saying them, I'm
not your mate, right, I am their friend, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Most their dad.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
But I'm setting like They go like, mate, what you
doing now? I'm like, listen, I'm not. You can't speak
to me like that. They do it with their mum
as well. And we were like, yes, so going should
should we be okay with this? And went my instinct
is no, it's too.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Well you know how I am with my daughter's right,
we're really really close.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But that mate makes mate mate actually doesn't feel close
to mate is when you don't know somebody's name. Yes,
I mate, can you get that? U? Can you pass me?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
No?
Speaker 6 (01:59):
I think it's a term of indeed, but it is
a term of indeedment for Australia.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
But not for your mum or dad.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
It's glad they're talking to Audrey sometimes.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh trust me, they're always talking to me, mainly demands
or corrections. You actually can't say or think that, dad.
It's offensive to these groups of people.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Audrey is starting to call us play our first names.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
That's disrespectful, that is harsh.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
So what she call you Pats?
Speaker 7 (02:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Hey Pats? No mum, thank you?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Or yeah? But would you how would you feel about mate?
You wouldn't like your Pats.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
It's almost kind of taking the mickey out of you,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, I don't think it's a respect What are you
working in the.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Military academy for young people? It's God.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
We've spoken about this instance, but I'm too No Gordon,
that's in suborders as well.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No, I always want to be dad to him. Or
you can go too far the other way because Bianca,
still in her thirties, called her dad daddy, which I
don't feel comfortable with. I don't like I just as
it comes off the mouth. I don't like hearing it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I think it's a community thing because you're judging it
from where you live in the world. Where she's Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
There they are so for them.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's the norm. You're judging it by your own standards.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
STO.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
When King Charles stood up for the queens.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Sorry, how we got into King Charles?
Speaker 6 (03:29):
And he remember any speech? And he said, mommy, yes,
and I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Sit well with me either.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
And he is a real old guy. So are we
you united about this mate thing?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yes? I don't like it. Put a stop to it, all.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Right, Colin? What do you think? Do you let your
kids call you mate? And the way it is is this, like, mate,
what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
It says that you can't actually speak to me like that.
They're like, why are you getting shout? I get really
upset about it. I'm like, stop calling me mate. They're like,
but you always say we're friends. We are friends, but
you don't call your parents mate. I don't know what
it is is two it's overly oddly familiar. Yes, yeah,
maybe I go back to basis here. It's mister O'Connell
(04:12):

year old and an eighteen year old that I now
want to rebrand.
