Radio Work, Our Windows Done.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
That's my worldris in the dust.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Only good jabs are all down.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I've done much, but yeah, I know I'll beget and
what I want.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It don't matter where I goes. This is the pick up,
Maddie J. Breddy.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
We only have a couple of weeks left of you,
grasiness with your.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Presence or I think it is?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Is it? I think it's even less because I think your.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Wife Laura's coming back to replace you for the last week.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well, is that gonna happen to I thought that anyway,
we'll talk about this. Hey, I saw something this morning
that shook me to my core.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
I was dropping Miley off at school, and as I
normally do, I walk into the school gates and I
saw a boy next to me. He must have been
like eight, maybe nine, and he had in his hand
a latte.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
How do you know what was in it? How do
you know it was a hot chocolate?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well? No, I can tell by the lid of the
cup was white, and I could see the stain and
very well could have been a mocker still though it
was an all press coffee cup. And I'm thinking to myself, No, I.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Think you're jumping to conclusions. No eight year old smashing
down lattes.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
It could have been kids are these days came out?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Could have been chai latte has a similar appearance.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's just as bad.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
No, it's just sugary, but there's no caffeine.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I reckon. I honestly I wanted to stop and be like,
excuse me, young man, what are you drinking? But it
was and I was holding Maley's hand, and I was
like strange. But honestly, I only started drinking coffee when
I was twenty one.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I think I was about seventeen.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
But I think that should be the youngest you are, Like,
no one needs it under that he needs to be eighteen.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I think to have a proper cafe coffee.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, no, because you think about things like.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Race is disagreeing, No, like monsters and all those drinks
and red Bulls that are like so caffeinated as well,
people drinking that so copy Wo'd be better than that
because it doesn't come with a heart attack.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Sugar and stuff I find them tomorrow interesting hunting down?

Speaker 2 (02:20):
What is it? What do you have? A flat white?
Is the sugar honey almond?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Will you find that out? Let us know? Report back.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's Thursday, so it is ask guncut day where you
guys writing or you call up with the biggest problems
that you've got and we're going to do our best
to solve that.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I love helping the good people of this country.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, not all here is we're capes, but Matt does.
But today we've.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Got Kelly on the line that's having a bit of
a family issue.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Hey Kelly, Hi, guys, how are you going? Can I
say Merry Christmas?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Here care? Why not? We're in the festive spirit and
so were you? Apparently Kelly, but you have an issue?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
What's going on?

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yes? So this year is the very first year that
my boyfriend and I are going to be together on
Christmas Day.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Congratulations.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, so we're really excited. I'm a big Christmas nerd,
so looking forward to it. But the only thing is
is that both of our families really really want us
at their Christmas Christmas Day and we just can't decide
who to go with.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Basically, I'm just after your advice.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
That's a tricky one. What have you done in the past.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's a common problem, I would say, because everyone experiences, right,
two people come together, they have two families that I'm
assuming don't always live together. I mean, for me, it's tricky.
My husband lives on the other side of the world,
so we always just have to pick one country.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I think it.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Depends for you, Kelly. What's the location of both families.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
So we're based in Melbourne. His family are up in
Ballina in New South Wales, the kind of Nearbyron Bay.
And then I'm a KeyWe and I'm from Hamilton's so
treble in domestic.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Leton's great, is it you have to be a supercars?

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, that's true, but they do say Hamilton's like you
all have to go through it at some point.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Look, you're hard because you're you're in another country. I
actually I think this is easy. You're going to have
to just say that you're going to take it. Turns
you by year and alternate and maybe you have to
flip a coin for the first year, like who starts,
or maybe it comes down to finance.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Has he been to Hamilton before your partner, So.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yes, he has, and we last saw my parents. They
came over here in September, so we have actually seen
them quite recently, whereas his parents, we actually went up
and saw them, but we still haven't seen them since May.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
So maybe it's time to start with his family and
then do yours next year. Are you thinking this is
a long term relationship?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Oh yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, look my decision is based on the fact that
I've been to Hamilton before, and I mean, Kelly, no
disrespect at all. It was just a little how do
I say shit in the most polite way possible. So
I think if you're comparing the two, I think you've

(05:16):
got to go balance its Byron bab you don't pick.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
This kind of stuff based on the town.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's family and it's love and it's the attention to
those that you care about.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I just think sometimes you've got to be selfish and
that's okay. Around Christmas time, you want to do what's
going to make you and your partner happy. And I
just think, Byron bay Baby, imagine that being on the beach,
I mean one of the best beaches in the world.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Do you care about missing out on your family like
is it. Okay, are you happy to go to Byron?
Oh my gosh, yell, then there's your answer.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
There we go.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
I mean, look, I'll be sad to obviously let my
mum down, but I think it is looks I guess
that's the only way to do it right, Like they
both want us, they're both Christmas mums. But it's just
gonna have to fall. Maybe flip the coin.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
And let's not forget that next year it's gonna flip.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
It has to flip.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
You can't have a magical festival time in Hamilton? Can
I say? I just want to if anyone is from
New Zealand and in particular Hamilton, I want to say
sorry for my comments on this segment.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
You've been really harsh on Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
I have I have fair, but I apologize.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
At least it has a year to redeem itself. Now
it'll be a lot better.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Thanks for calling Kelly, have a good crissy.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Hey, Matt, she took that well, well you're pretty abusive.
Well yeah, yeah, it's Honestly, when I went to Hamilton,
I want to get some money out from the ATM,
and people were like, don't do that.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Well it's not like Venezuela, Well it's worse.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Hey, Mandy Jay, this is a really good discussion for
you to have because you are a father to two
little girls.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
You have a four and a six.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Year old and a six week old.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Oh yeah, I'm just not putting her in this because
she's well this is let me explain. See, Mitchell is
an actress in Hollywood. She was a main character in
Pretty Little Liars.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Is this going to explain why you're not counting Poppy
as one of my children?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yet?

Speaker 3 (07:11):
It will bear with me? Yeah, Shane Mitchell.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
You may or may not have seen her in a
bunch of things, but she's known for Pretty Little Liars.
But she has just dropped a new business venture. It
is a skincare line. Now, I know a lot of
people in Hollywood drop skincare lines, but she has dropped
it specifically for kids, not only kids toddlers. Now, it's
called Rinnie a Right and I and she only announced

(07:35):
it last week, and.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's copying a lot of backlash, and I can.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Understand why a lot of people are saying, why on
earth are we projecting beauty standards onto kids as low
as three? So she does go on to say Rennie
isn't about beauty. It's about self care, about teaching our
kids that taking care of themselves can be fun, gentle
and safe. Kids are naturally curious, and instead of ignoring that,

(08:00):
we can embrace it with safe, gentle products that parents
can trust and sweet moments that can bring us closer together.
The brand does say that it is for three year olds. Plus,
how do you feel about the thought of skincare, I'm
talking face masks, hydrogel, after some all of these things,
how do you feel about that being marketed to a

(08:21):
three year old?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think any type of product in the bathroom is
just a nightmare for the kids. I leave them in
the bath for more than three seconds and they're they're
making magic potions. Laura's expensive condition of the whole bottle
is gone in the blink of an eye. So there
is no way that this is going to last more
than a couple of days. If the kids are using

(08:44):
it on their own, they just don't need it.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't yeah, I don't think that use it on
their own.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
What I think it is And they sort of launched
with a face mask, so their main picture that they
launched is a really small girl. I think she might
be like five years old and she has a face
mask on, and what Shay is saying is like, hey,
my little girls love to do what mummy does, So
like when I put a face mask on, they want
to put one on. Two and I wanted to create one,
didn't have all the actives and stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I think that is such bull crap. Just because I
do something does not mean my kids want to do it.
I eat my dinner and I have to fight tooth
and nail to get them to eat it. Do you
know how hard it is Brittany to get through the
bath routine with the girls at nighttime, to get them
to brush their teeth. I am pleading with them, I
am begging on my hands and knees. If I have
to add anything else into that routine, I'll be in

(09:33):
there for bloody hours.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
I think it's more than that.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I don't even think it's the inconvenience for the parents.
I just think as women and now girls, we have
such high standards that are put on us by society,
and so much is already targeted to us to be better,
look better, feel better. The fact that this has been
targeted to three year olds, now that they have to
start thinking about their skin care.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
They absolutely should not even know what skincare is.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
They should be having a basic moisturizer and a sun
cream and that is it.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
The only thing that I can really get on board
with in terms of makeup and self love is getting
in ales done. I'll allow that that's like the best.
And for any dads out there who have girls, can
I just say because I never see dads and the
nail celon and I think it is the best activity
because the girls are quiet. They absolutely love it, and

(10:23):
you get twenty minutes a piece and quiet. It's the dream.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well, there are some people Matt not It hasn't received
all hate. There's some positive feedback, and some people are
saying exactly that.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I don't see the problem with Shane Mitch.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
You're making kids face masks, little girls playing makeup and
nail polish all the time. How is skincare any different.
I sort of see what they're saying, but I think
it's the idea marketed to kids that like, you need
this when you get nail polish. I think it's a
fun dress up, But skincare becomes a part of your routine,
you know, that's just too much like kids be kids.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
That's what I think.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Brittany. Do you ever have road rage?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yes? The short answer is yes. Everyone becomes a different
person in the car. Right you pick, you know, you
can do whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
It's like going to a foreign land where you feel
like no one knows you.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
No one can see. Don't you reckon?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
It's like I saved you of the four.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Walls of the car.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah. I don't know why I get. I'm normally quite
a calm person, but once I'm on the road, it's
a different kettle of fish. But okay, have you ever
had bike rage? I don't bike, never buying. Do you
seem like a biker? Do I give me bike vibes? Likera?

Speaker 3 (11:26):
You were licra, I love Alycrah. Yeah, but that's just
for fun.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Got you just show just for show? Well? I love
my little e bike and I use my e bike
to transport my two children of Marley Lola to daycare
and both to school. And it's just it's great, you know,
it's it's incidental exercise, getting fresh air. The kids love it.
But when I got the bike, Laura was a little
bit nervous because she's like, look, you know the kids

(11:52):
are on the bank. There, you're on the main road.
I go on the main road. She's like, I just
want to make sure the kids are safe, and I'm like, look,
I grew up riding bikes. I love a bike.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
I'm a biker.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm a biker through and through. I'm a mammal.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I have seen you in Likera far too many times.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I know it's been a while since I've done the
like it. When I ride the e bike, I don't
wear like God, I just wear I will. I want
to get one of the sperm helmets so it's aerodynamic.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
With the glasses.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
But whenever I'm on the main road and now the
car is merging in, I honestly I treat every car
as if they cannot see me. Now, I don't go
too fast on the e bike. I have a limitar.
It's not one of the cool e bikes. I've got
one of like the daggy Dad ones that can only
go about if I'm really going hard twenty kilometers an hour.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think that's smart. Good protection for the kids.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Safety is the key priority here. And the other day
I got the kids, both of them, Marley and Lola.
They're on the back of the bike, and I was
going down a hill just down from my house, and
there was a car that was merging into the road.
And you know, you can just get a sense when
a car is not going to stop. Ye, it's approaching
pretty quick. So I slowed down. My hand was already
hovering over the break. And then as we got closer,

(12:59):
I thought to myself, Nah, this guy is definitely not
going to stop. So he pulled right out in front
of me. Luckily I was paying attention, so I swerved
out of the way.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
But even then, that is so dangerous.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I know Laura is gonna hate hearing this story on radio.
Oh gosh. As I moved and I got out of
the way, and it was a little bit hairy, like
the girls were going whoa. And then I turned around.
I stopped the bike and I looked back at the
guy and I did the gesture and I both hands out. Well,
I wasn't at that that was like level five. I
was like a level two and a half, just like

(13:31):
hey man, like come on, come on, yeah, and then
he gestures back and then just like shoos me on
as if like shut up, like come on, get on
with it, on your way, and I was like, hey, buddy,
I got two kids on the back, and he gives
me the finger and he tells me to f off.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
And I was like, it really kills you. And then
he had the audacity.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
So I then got up to his side of the
car and I was like, mate, what do you mean
You've just pulled out in front of me. I've got
my two kids, who was six and therefore on the
back of the bike. You pulled out in front of me.
Let's not forget that. Are you hang on? You don't
flit me off?

Speaker 3 (14:11):
Are you on your bike? Still having this conversation like
did you walk on.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
My tippy toes? Like we were back with sor next one?
And then he was then giving it back to me.
I'm yelling at him. You know, aggression has only even
met with aggressions. So we're talking now like going at
each other, and I was like, all you got to
do make is just be careful and be considerate. Sorry, fair,
Do you.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Know what the awkward thing is when you have these
road rage moments, Well, it's like one of you has to.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Leave the exit.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Well then he sped off, right, he sped off, and.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
I was like, she had to backwards on your bike.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, then guess who was watching on sixty minutes my neighbor.
My neighbor has hard two kids in the prem who
we've just started hanging out with, and I was like, Hi, Hannah,
how are you. And she's like, it's everything okay. And
I was like, everything's fine, have a good.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Day, honestly, But that's a problem, right, it's so dangerous.
But it's not you that you have to worry about.
It's everyone else.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Okay. If Laura is listening, this never happened. The kids
are fine, I'm fine. Nothing to listen to here. It's
a message from the RTA.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Guys, that is it. Let's get out of here.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
