What could possibly be better? We've just had macarons. We're
about to go into the weeks.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It's macarooms.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I always say.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Exciting news because I can now officially announce that Molly
has been accepted into her dance class.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Oh whoa, No, but I thought sorry, my lack of
response was confusion.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I thought she was already in dance class because she
just did the biggest Stanford.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, she is in an existing dance class. She does
it on a Thursday afternoon, but they have an in
school dance class. Troop producer, grace.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Troop monkeys. No, you'd call a group of dances a
troop and monkeys.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I wanted to actually produce a grace answer me this.
I actually think it's like a marketing ploy to make
the kids. It's called an audition for the in school
dance Troop when I was like, it's in school.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Everyone can do.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Like if you want to play netball in school, you
just play netball. They don't do like auditions.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
For some I'm actually going to stop you right there,
because I have some experience in this.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Oh God, what have you done.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
When I was a little girl, I also thought that
when you're in school, everyone got to do everything, and
I guess they did to a level. And I joined
the choir, I got asked to leave the choir, and
I thought it was one of those things that was
just inclusive and we all got to take a part of.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But apparently I cannot sing, not even remotely enough to
be hidden by other people's voices, and I got asked
to leave. I've never forgotten.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Okay, because it's very expensive for the dance troop. It's
a lot of money, and I in school troop it's
supposed to be free. No, it's because you got to
pay for I don't know. It's a lot. It's a lot,
and I feel like they've done the audition just to
make you say, yes, okay, I'll do it and I
will pay because every parent I'm like, did you get
accepted and go, yeah, yeah, how good. We're so excited.
I'm like, I see what's going on.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's employee getting dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I think it's a market employee to make you want
it so much that when you get off at it,
you didn't jump at it, and you pay it.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Very clever, Yeah, that is clever. I be asking some
questions about that. Man onto those dance troops, those monkey troops.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I love Christmas. I love it so much.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's a time for love, presence, gifts, food, family.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
But something always goes wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Matt doesn't and I love Christmas as well. I think
I loved it more when I was a young child.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, because you didn't have responsibility and you've got gifts.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It was a great time. It was the glory days.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
It was a magical time when you're a kid.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I don't know if you were like this, Brittany. I
would always wake up really really early. I was just
so pumped to have the chance to finally open my presence.
My mom done with this story. I was about four.
I got up at the crack of dawns son wasn't
even up yet. I went into her room and I said, Mum,
it's Christmas. Can I open some presents? She was half asleep.
She goes, yeah, you can open one, and I got
(03:19):
a little bit cat away. I opened every present under
the Christmas tree, and one of five kids opened them all.
My mum got up and was like, what, well, how
are you doing.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I was like, you said I could given in She
gonna take him mind exactly. Yeah, Well, we are giving
away one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
We've done it every single day this week for IgA
a thousand dollar gift card. And today we're feeling good,
we're feeling festive. We got some more money, and we
have Emily on the line. Emily, what is your chaotic
Christmas moment?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Okay? So it was Christmas morning and we just finished
with entrees, and my sister had a friend over from
England and we were cleaning up and Dad was telling
a story in the kitchen and he's waving his hands
around and you know, being Italian, and my sister's friend
(04:12):
came over and she had a whole bunch of like
big state knives. Mum's in the middle of like cutting
the turkey, everyone else is in the pool. Everything's happening.
My sister's friend comes over and the next minute we
just hear this like massive, like grunt, and my dad
(04:32):
turned to my mum and goes, I think I've hurt myself.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
And he's covering from the sum to his palm of
his hand and he's on the ground and we didn't
realize that one of the knives actually went straight through
his hand.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Did you chop a digital off? What's happened? Has gone
straight through?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Yeah, it just went straight through, absolutely, just straight through.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Was it stuck in there like out the other side.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
You know, like straight through through hospital or a home.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Yep. So my mum's sister in law took him to hospital.
We all stayed behind, and we thought it'd be funny too.
We had a big chalk board at the time and
we had a so we got the chalk and my
cousin threw a dead body on the floor and so
(05:25):
my uncle was going around and he's taking photos of
like the crime scene and everything, and then yeah, it
was absolutely nuts. He got ten stitches by the end
of it, and he came back and we're all cheering
that he's you know, he survived and he's lived the day.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Yeah. So, yeah, lunch was quite late that day.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Oh, I bet it was. That is the kind of
chaos that we want to have in this segment. That
is brilliant. Not your dad getting ten stitches in a
night through his hand, but just the chaos.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Hey, you deserve, you deserve one thousand dollars to spend
at IgA.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Oh my god, thank you so much. Oh my god,
it's been an absolutely crap year, and you know what
that means to me.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
No, we're so We're so happy to help, and we
were really glad that it does help you.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's it's a tough time of you.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Yeah, I lost my friend a couple of months ago,
so I'm so sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Sorry, Emily, sending lots of love your way.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I hope you and the family have a great Christmas.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Bye, AMC A merry Christmas, Brittany.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I hate to talk ill about my wife while she's
not here. I am, of course feeling in for her.
I also want to say that I love my wife.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
She did talk ill of her, but I'm going to
do it.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I am going to do I'm just going to get
it off my chest. If I may. You can tell
me no, I can, I can move on.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Look, I work with every day as well. You can
get it off your chest. Let's hear it.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'm sure you will agree with me when And let
me just say also that there are so many things
that my wife is incredible at. She's very talented, multi talented,
bursting at the scenes with talent. However, there are a
couple of things that she's not very strong at. Okay, yeah,
let me just say that admin is one that she
(07:11):
it's not a strong point.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
She doesn't love it, doesn't engage with it, prefers to
avoid it exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And just to give you an example of this, I
got a call from the hospital and I was like hello,
and they said, we've probably called your wife about twenty times.
We've sent her eight emails. We just need her signature
on the discharge papers. Like it takes two seconds and
that's all we've been trying. We cannot Is she still around?
(07:37):
Like is she alive? Is she well? Get yeah? I
was like, I want to send it here. They send
it to me. I signed it, sent it back and
that was like job done. And I was like, oh, babe,
do you know the hospital was trying pretty hard to
get in contact with you. And she's like, who what
what for child? But when you give birth, they give
you a little pack. It's a birth registration, which is
(08:00):
very important. And as they were handing it, like the
nurse was kind of like, you know, I was sitting there,
Laura was sitting there, and she was like, when does
it go? Yeah, who wants this? And I stood up.
I'm the admin guy in the relationship and I was
like I will take this. And Laura said I got it.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
And I was like, well, dip down, you're like.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Anxiety. I was like, don't let her touch that. And
then Laura grabbed it and she's like, that's okay, I
can do it. And the nurse said, very clear as day,
she goes, just make sure you don't lose this. I
can't give you another one. You get one per child.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Like a birth certificate.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
That's it. It's one chance you lose this. Eminem game over.
Poppa doesn't Poppa Poppy. H gosh, this is going so rapidly.
And then they said you have eight weeks to apply
for it. I don't know what happens after eight weeks.
I'm assuming you can still apply for it.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I think you could give the child back.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
You have to give back. I was like, I don't
want to find out what happens after eight weeks if
you do the forms. And so I was like, hey, Laura,
week four, have you done it?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Okay, week five you've done it. No, Okay, we're getting
we'll get a little bit close. Now. I get a
little bit nervous. Seven weeks and I'm like, have you
done it? And she goes, I'm doing it right now.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Like get off my back.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, she was like relaxed, Pal. So she's done the forms,
she's put her details down there as like the primary contact.
And Laura kept getting his phone calls it at nighttime
and I was like, hey, answer your phone, and she
doesn't answer the phone. If it's that's not saved.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I would think if it's.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Nighttime and someone's calling you repeatedly, you'd think that's for
a reason.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And she's like, oh, these bloody sale calls are always
I get hold of me every hour of the day.
It's a nightmare. And I was like, okay, fair enough.
And then I heard her a couple days later on
a phone call and she's talking about very important dates
and I was like, like, who was that, what's that about?
And she goes, oh, it was, and she paused, and
I was like, oh, who is it? Death births and registrations.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Births, deaths and marriages.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I was closed. I was very close marriage, Brittany, because
you got married. Okay, that's why registration's death and animals.
So she had done the form before the eight weeks. Yeah, However,
a couple of details got the month wrong of Bobby's
(10:26):
birth of Bobby pop Popper.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
How did she get it was wrong? It was only
two months prior.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I don't know what did she put it?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I don't want to well, I don't want to give
away Poppa's birth Poppy burn, whatever name is, okay, and
forgot to put the middle name down.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
So what did she register it as? Just pop up
number three?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I don't know. I was like, how do you get
these details wrong? They're critical, that's critical information.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
So the hospital picked up that it was incorrect. So
her own mother didn't get it, but thank god the
hospital got it.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Luckily, they cross reference dates what a hospital puts down
as a birth. They didn't line up. Someone has flagged it.
Been trying to get hold of Laura for god knows
how many.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Times, and she just forgot she even had a middle name.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
We can confirm now that Poppy has been registered. It's official.
We've done it.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
What actually does happen if you haven't registered a name
in that time?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Do anyone know? I think you get a fine like
a decext cat. You get a fine. Is that fine? Okay?
I think? Well there you go. Everybody, make sure you
name your child correctly.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, and also within the eight weeks, within.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
The time frame, and get the date right.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And get the dates right. Very important.
