Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, all right, all right, Yes, indeed you are
the author of your story, of your journal. In this journal,
you will get to know yourself better. And who better to.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Get to know?

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Right?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Journal? This week I found myself living with my parents
for the first time since I left home in my twenties. So, yes,
three years ago.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now your house, Sammy does it?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I know it's right. So my wife's headed away for
a long overdue and well deserved girls trip to Bali.
And with the hours I work, I needed a bit
of help getting our boys up and dressed it off
to school in the Morning's right, So I called them
the big Guns. And when Max and Ollie found out
that their heroes Nana and Poppa were coming to stay,
they clapped and they cheered, and they called them to
say how excited they were. Turns out, Nana and Popper
were even more excited and asked them to name their

(00:48):
favorite dinners and started taking requests for desserts. They started
making menus.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
That's Sanana and Granddad.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
I want to be Yeah, So they started taking requests
for school lunches and all those little special treats. So
my parents have many superpowers and I don't spoiling their grandkids,
but seeing the beaming smiles on their faces when they
meet up after school or steal an extra cuttle before bedtime.
I can't tell who's loving it more, the kids or
the grandies.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Or Jason, who's getting so much Albert home. The meals
are amazing anyway, and Jameson, I'm just measuring you lying
there with your eyemask gold while they're doing everything pretty right.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Holiday It's like.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
A hold hope.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
But however, if my wife happens to be listening on
my heart radio from Bali. The kids are definitely eating
their vegis.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
And going to be on time, and Jason's definitely strung out.
I'm exhausted, definitely, Dear Jurdle. Today we find out who
is traveling with us to New York on the trip
of a lifetime. Everyone has elements of their job that
they don't like. Right for you, it might be the
long hours. It could be the commute, or maybe it's
a niggley boss. For us, it's definitely the alarm clock

(01:50):
for this job. That's a constant source.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Of despair, is it it?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Especially especially during these winter months. Friday is the hard one,
But then every job has its good points too, and
in our case, big Spender is most definitely a major,
amazing perk of our job.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
How lucky are we.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
We've do We just haven't been spender Every year without
the money, we always come back broke. There is always
such a great vibe around this trip. I mean, what's
not to love a trip with shopping, eating, drinking, multiple
activities and wonderful company. It's a circuit breaker from the
humdrum and monotony of the year. It's my idea of

(02:32):
heaven and I can't wait to get to know who
our newest travel companions are and greater detail on this trip.
What we've found is we make friends for life, like
Julie so Fair, Cam Augustina and most recently Kate and Roger.
We know it's a fabulous prize because all of them
have asked us in recent weeks how they get to
go on this trip again. So let's go.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I mean to thank you very much. That's a little
snapshot of our week. Hope you've had a really nice
one to and either way your weekend is even better.
