Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have Tris Sharson and Tim Wilson. Hello, are you too, Trish?
You are listening to that? Is that a bit of
something for you?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
No, it's not. It's absolutely not a bit of something
for me.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I mean, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm not opposed though, to a song that does just
repeat the same lyric over and over. Remember that great
track I'm sexy and I know it. That's great. I
could listen to that all day.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Fills your cup, that wonder. But I don't know about
Shay's long. Tim, why don't you have any Wi Fi?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Because I'm sitting in the swift outside I've got an
audiology appointment at eight thirty, so I'm just I'm just
doing it old school.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Sam says, you could get Wi Fi on your phone?
Can you get Wi Fi on your phone?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I don't know, Sam. Sam said, Oh, this is a
boomer moment. I'm like, hang on, I'm actually gen X.
I sit between boomers and millennials and judge both.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Is something wrong with your ears?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
By the way, Tim, just a bit of tonight?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, it's annoying. Actually, I think I've heard people who
have tonight this. Do you know that John what's his name?
Too good? From she had had tonight as that was
so bad it almost drove a mental Did you know that?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Oh my goodness, goodness, I didn't realize that. Hey. Can
I just just agree with what you said about the
Woolies Disney disc Okay? Can we can we go there?
Because I'll tell you what, I don't know what they're for.
And also it's the packaging. I had to order some
of the Philistines to go and pick up the packaging
from the Disney discs just the other day because they
(01:27):
just left them on the couch. Can I give another
Woolies grizzle? Okay? So why did they reverse on the
f POSS savings and check account? Because what you do is,
you know, you're in a dream, you're in the supermarket.
You go in, you swipe your card and you just
select the first one. And what they did they flipped it.
Are people now using their savings accounts to pay for groceries?
(01:50):
I don't know, but they flipped it.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And just real your muscle memory means you're heading the
wrong one the whole time.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Correct, I've recorrected because I'm in I'm a gen X.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yes, it's been.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Starting to sound like a session down at Senior Net.
You know, can't get on the Wi Fi, you don't
read the word that the pass.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Don't understand the disks at all.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I think we need to wear out a nice milky
tea and a scone for them just to settle them
into the first session.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Is there going to be butter on that scone at
which we cannot afford?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Tris? Can you please give me you all take though
on those discs because I can't understand the discs and
you are actually adjacent to the supermarket game and they
suck as a giveaway, don't they.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well, I'm going to let you in on a little
secret here. And I actually thought we should for just
for me when I fill in on this slot, we
should actually call this tea in my Fridays because I
have this problem with Fridays where you know your end
of the week and you had quite strest week, and
then they sort of release the pressure valve and you
end up telling people too much information on a Friday. Yes,
(02:55):
And I thought today that is really not going to
be good because I'm off to the big China Business Summit,
and I thought, God, what on earth's going to pop
out at that? You know, you've got the networking sort
of times, your morning tea, your lunch, et cetera. That
it's not going to be great on a TEMI Friday
for trash. But anyway, I digress. I have to leave
you a little personal secret. I am never allowed to
(03:17):
do the grocery shopping. Don't do the grocery shopping so
and the reason for that is sloppy sort of cash
and budget management. So I go to the supermarket and
unlike other people, I don't really have a list, and
then I wander along and normally st I go through
(03:38):
the eyes and it's normally it's always in the personal
care ale. You get stung. You think I'll go for
the flash moisturizer, and I'll go to the boy you know,
the body wash looks great. And then you get home
and then the person who is in charge of the
groceries likes to do a sort of a full ordit
and risk orders and risk around what's happened, why the
total is what it is, and why there's actually nothing
to eat. So the thing that don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
About about it sounds like the way you shop, you'd
probably come home with about four hundred Disney discs. So
if you could you send them to our place please.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You're collecting them, I can send them to you as well.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I send them to us because they are collecting you had, Tim.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I've got some fantastic news for you. According to the
text machine, the buttons have been changed back. And the
reason they did it in the first place was because
that's the Australian way of doing it. And they thought, oh,
they all sound the same in New Zealand and Australia.
The South Americans thought that, and they were like, don't
worry about it. Just give them the same kind of numbers.
And then it's it's not the same for us.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Can you keep doing that accent? It's funny.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
It just sounds like my mother when I do that. Tim,
I think that that the melatonin rule change was the
dumbest thing this week. What do you think it?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Didn't see it. They didn't seem to offer much evidence,
did they. They just said, oh, the doctor overseas said
it was the right idea, so we should do it
a sleep. The experts said, oh, it's not that much problem.
The Union said they didn't really ask us about I mean,
where's the evidence for this? That's it just seems like
a ruling and we're done.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Do you ever use the trist you ever use the melatonin?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
No funny little fun fact about Trisherson. But sleep is
actually my superpower. I can even in an.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Afternoon I could but sleep well, well that's because.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm exhausted from the shopping. But I could literally just
lie on the floor, have a twenty minute nap, get
up at night. I have at least nine and a
half to ten hours sleep a night. I'm like, I'm
like a baby. But the funny thing with the melatonin
is it's actually it's a hormone, not a drug. So
it did seem weird to me when there are a
lot of other sort of supplementary things people are taking
(05:37):
for sleep as well.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, do you know what trash Now, I've discussed your sleep,
your sleep requirements with you in the past because I
share this necessity of like nine ashes about where I
need to strike. I didn't realize this until I started,
you know, on occasion covering for Mike. But if you
have a nap in the day, because your wake windows
are shorter, you can actually get by with less sleep. Interesting, yes,
(06:00):
so you get like a six hour slot overnight and
then you can go, you can go, I can go
kind of ten hours and then you do an hour
and a half and then you can go another six
hours away. Can you just keep doing that? I mean
maybe in the long run you eventually like sort of
wither away and die. Do you know what I mean?
Because there's just nothing left. You're like so sleep deprived,
but it is possible you don't even need the melatonin.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well wait, wait, you guys are begging me for not
knowing about Wi fi talking about tonight, and but it's gones.
And then you go off on the Sleep brand.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Come on, everybody, Sleep is a new sleep as the
new black.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Smart watch, you know the devices for sleep? Do you know?
You're just so sleep deprived from having like five hundred children,
you can't even remember what it feels like to have sleep.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You know. You know what, Actually, the boys, my wife Ractual,
had a terrible sleeper yesterday, and so you know what
the boys did. They decided to give her breakfast in bed.
So they rode out a menu from the Hotel Wilson
and the what was on the menu was crumpets and
Dorito's and she loved it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What else could you possibly want?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You're getting quite some early ROI on your children, Tim.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Longer, Well, actually, actually, Roman dimm Delights lit candles in
the lounge yesterday evening and gave us both a massage.
He's ten.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Oh geez, your children are awesome. Tim. Listen on the
open planing classroom. Do your kids go to schools with
open plans or have they got the scene yourselves?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
No? No, My wife's a teacher and I was running
this by her. She said, the optimum number of kids
in the classroom is fifteen because you can individualize learning
and you get more one on one experience. Open plant
was just crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It was crazy, wasn't it? Truch? I mean, I'm reading
a lot of people who are going no, actually it
was a great idea. You don't understand. It's complex, but
it doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Well, depending on which way you look at it, I
am either a success or a failure of open playing classrooms,
because when I started school at Oceanally Primary in nine
seventy eight, it was a country school with only one classroom.
You had everyone in there, from the new entrance to
the big form twos. The most people we ever had
at our school. In one year was twenty one and
(08:13):
the smallest role we had was eight kids one year.
So I went right through open plan and yeah, I
mean I think I turned out fine.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
It turned out absolutely fine. Listening.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Did you get wonderfully?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, Trisua, I've got to ask you this. I'm afraid
that I'm going to get in trouble. But is it
okay if you have your eighteenth birthday party in Spain
to hire people with dwarfism for the entertainment if they
consent to it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, I saw this story this morning and I thought, well,
there's a hole that both Tim and I could stumble into.
Feels like sort of cancel country to me. So I
consulted not an eighteen year old in my house, but
a twenty year old who normally advises me on sort
of pitfalls that I might not otherwise see as a
gen xer, and she said, Mum, do absolutely not talk
(09:02):
about that. So I'm giving you the word from my
senior advisor.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Okay, Tim, Well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I mean do you want to run off?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
You ask Roman quickly what he thinks.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, yeah, no, I think yeah, those the people who attended,
who were you know, who have this this syndrome. They
said it was fine, they were happy to be there.
An organization that purports to represent them says, oh, it's
no good. There's there's obviously a division of responses there.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, okay, guys, thank you very much, appreciate it. And
Trisha enjoy your your China business breakfast or whatever you have,
and the tim enjoy your audiology appointment, and hopefully you
manage to reverse whatever damage you've done to here is.
That's Tris Shars and Tim Wilson are reviewing the week
for us. Heather try too key. We fruit for sleep
and then rub the Vicks vapor rub into the soles
(09:53):
of your feet. I've done it the last two nights
and it works. Why not. It's not going to hurt
you as it's got vitamin C in a delicious smell,
So go for it.
