Filing Yeah, fighting cabinet, yes, do you need it? And
then it's all easy. Not going through emails.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
That's crap. I didn't even know they still existed.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Hey, that sister, my friend has worked for decades, very
very very well.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I like to have a hard copy of it.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yes, same, you see less and less now though people
are it's only very old people that go on a
plane with the printed off ticket, and I'm behind them.
I go, oh, bless, you must be one thousand years old?
Was it like living in a cave? So you see
them unfolding it. You know it's always been folded to
four pieces.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
See I still like a paper bill. Don't be emailing
my invoice of bills. You've seen it in sale mail,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Now, I'm the same. It gets lost in an m box. Yes,
it's easy to miss. Hard copy. That's wow, hard copy.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Put it in my hand.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
This is a generational thing. We didn't grow with that.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
We grew up in a generation of hard copy, hard
times and hard copy.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
So you go to your mailbox, you open up them.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
But that's like I find it somehow, Yeah, No, I
find it's it's life, real life.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I find it reassuring getting a hard copy of it.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
I'll even pay two bucks extra a month or whatever
it is to get a paper copy of a bill.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't mind.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
I'm prepared to pay that.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
What do you do with the bill after you've put it.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
In the filing connet when it's paper?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, I bet there's a lot of people right now
still who's still have the filing cabinet system, like Pats and.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I the younger gen like Rio. You don't.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
You didn't grab like that. We've been seeing our parents
have that filing cabinet ours. My wife has even got
labels insurance like the medical things, even like the pet insurance,
all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
They've even got their own folder. The pets have their own.
Larry's got a passport.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
What, yeah, did you have to get what?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Larry the cat has got a passport. I think our
dog has as well. What he's in Queensland we've got
on during lockdown.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
And they have to have a passport.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yes, I think because he's so he could travel opening
it up his original names in there, move faster where
it got his big name. But there's no photo of him.
It's like having a passport. Someone could steal Larry's identity.
They don't even need a head.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Christian signs an adult.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
When you go to a different brand new shopping center, uh,
and you check out the map as soon as you
get to know where all the toilet locations are. That's
Linda Natalie. Christian signs you an adult. You do not
bounce out of bed anymore. You need to do the
safety roll one leg over, slowly, eat yourself up, then
sit for a moment. You identify what injury you may

(03:23):
have sustained during the nights. Christian signs you an adult.
Keeping track of how much hair you lose in the shower.
Was it more than yesterday. Was it surprisingly light?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Was it concerningly heavy? And why, Christian? We thought of you.
The other day we're out for walk.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
We approached this neighbor to ask who their fence guy was,
because we love their fencing so much on our morning walk.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
You must give me that person's details.

bit of fencing? This?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh see, there you go, little sonny.

Speaker 3 (04:08):

Speaker 2 (04:11):
You still need a physical one from actual any procedure
such as getting a mortgage or opening up a bank account.

A cirtificate to open a bank account.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Okay, you don't know how money laundering works. Okay, I'm

Medicare card.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Bill's travels, super innuation, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Christian as an adult, before you wake up, make sure
everything is packed ready for work the night before. I've
been known to forget things to work. I always have
to double chat before leaving home. Now, Christian, I'm thirty.
It's not just older people that like the paper ticket.
I like the hard copy.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Wow, well, I just thought it was much older people
