It's a clear message. Show me how much you've got left. I've got like, definitely over half. Like I've just kind of started it. But anyway.

Anyway, that's fine. No. There's a clear message. There's a clear message. We'll do the time. No, no, no. We're here now. We're here now. We're here now. You're like, we need to get into this. So let's get into it. What was your beneficial? They put down the brioche. It was tasty. It was lovely. What flavour? I hand out, you're like, we need to get into this. So let's get into it. Make it beneficial. They put down the brioche.

It was tasty. What flavour? It's got like ham and cheese in it. Oh, and you want that warm too. Anyway, what's today's message? Okay, here we go. I hope it's like, would you like to stop and enjoy a brioche? If that's the message, it would be great. We should say, we've got the burner phone.

The number, if you'd like the number, you can just text burner phone to 4487. It'll bounce it back to you, the number, because, you know, when you read out someone's number, you're never going to remember it, are you? And we're clearing messages off it every day, even stopping brioche consumption to do so. Yeah. Such a pretentious sounding food.

It does. I was just thinking that, a brioche. I don't even know what a brioche is, but it looked tasty and it is tasty. But well, not even half of it was. One bite of it was yesterday's message. Received yesterday at 6.57pm. Hey guys, how's it going? Look, I've come into a bit of trouble.

I need a babysitter for my son William. I was just wondering if you guys would be able to take him out for a couple of hours while I get some work done. Really appreciate the help. Cheers. Oh, that's... Babysitting, yeah. Now, it astounds me.

Firstly, thank you for the privilege, because I mean, to hand over your child to two people who we don't know on a personal level. Yeah. That's an honour. It astounds me. It always does. The amount of people who, if we are doing, like, travelling around the country,

eating sausages at Bunnings Warehouse or whatever. Brioches. Brioches and pretentious brioches in high-end cafes. How many people will come and just hand babies to us? Yeah. It's a cute baby, and they're like, yeah, hold. And you're like, oh, okay. Which is lovely.

And then sometimes people are like, have a photo with the baby, and the baby's looking at you like, who are you? Yeah, you're right. Why are you in my life? Why are you holding me? Confusing for the baby. Also, one thing when it comes to babysitting, when it's your own kid, something I learned and been reminded of many times, it comes to babysitting, when it's your own kid, something I learnt and been reminded of many times,

it's not called babysitting when it's your own kid. That's a little tip if you're ever having children at any stage. And it's usually the father figures who make that mistake. Yeah, oh sorry, I can't go out, I've got to babysit. It's called parenting. That's right. You helped make half, you did half the job.

Yeah, I've heard that before. But it's not like you're like not aware that it's your child or your children. Yeah, it's just like babysitting is a term that people can go, I see what you have to go and do. I'm looking after some, yeah, I'm being a parent, yes. So back to the message, are you available for two hours to look after someone else's child? Bearing in mind you look after your own.

I mean, yeah, well. It's probably a polite, it mind you look after your own. I mean, yeah. Well. It's probably a polite. It's a polite no from me. You're not going to do it. Well, just. And it's not for the fact that I don't want to do it. Well, it sounds like you don't want to do it. It mainly is for the fact that I don't want to do it.

But the responsibility of looking after a stranger's child, I feel like. To take them out too is a big step. Like going around someone's house and they're like, oh, they call their asleep. They're in the thing. They're in their environment. They're playing in their home ground. Yeah. I mean step. Going around someone's house and they're like, oh, they call their asleep, they're in the thing, they're in their environment. They're playing in their home ground, yeah.

The baby, again, is going to be like, who are these two guys who have taken me to a park? And it's going to be a lot of crying, I imagine. Yeah, from you or me. A lot of crying, a lot of confusion again from me. And then we'll hand the baby back and the baby will be like, well, that was a weird 120 minutes there. Yeah, well, yeah, I guess it's something I'm open.

I'm not going to close the door just yet on a babysitting experience for ourselves. But didn't a friend of ours babysit one of Rhys Darby's kids? Oh, I think both his kids, and it went kind of wrong, didn't it? Yeah, but I think after further conversation with this individual, Rhys Darby didn't know. And we've mentioned it plenty of times. So if we can go again, we won't mention his name. No.

But he finds it funny. He finds it funny. He said Rhys would love it. Yeah. So he was looking after Rhys Darby's kids, babysitting, and somehow he managed to lock himself Out of the house With the kids still inside Right

And so he's talking Through the door And quite young kids At this time too Going Kids Kids There's a lock

On the door And the kids are watching You know Bluey or whatever They're watching Wiggles or whatever And he's knocking On the door

And he's having to Knock on the windows And the kids are like Going what's the babysitter Outside So they're just Let me back in Just open the thing So then he ended up in a standoff negotiation with restart his children to let him back back in the house because it's never a good look

as a babysitter for the parents to arrive home and you're locked outside of the house and they're like oh you've come out to greet you've come out to welcome us how's the kids great great yeah they're having a great time. Yeah. It's just all use your key to get inside and we'll get back in there and see where they are. So, yeah. So, luckily, I think the kids did let him back in. But that would have been a very traumatic little experience for the babysitter.

Not so much the kids. They said they were fine. What are you paying a babysitter per hour if you'd be tight? What do you got? I don't know. I don't actually deal with that. You know, like my wife's very good with that sort of thing so yeah i don't actually know like i hate when people go oh what do you know they put it back on us you know and i don't know what it is i want 50 bucks an hour oh no i'm not but i'm firstly no to you but you've

just said come in with a finger And that's what I'm saying Okay And now you're like No What do you want mate Do you want me to look after your kids All I want to do is eat a brioche Is that okay Oh there you go
