Now, it's funny these things, well, warning labels, you know, it's not something you often, I mean, maybe we should pay more attention to, but should. And terms and conditions, I feel like, yeah, I always feel pressure when someone's like, just, you know, because, well, why's very good at reading through things? But if someone's hovering around or, like, have a read for this, I feel like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So if you're getting a rental car, Amanda will read through, will she? She likes to have a good read, or sometimes. How awkward is that? Oh, yeah, it's awkward as well. She's very good at, well, you put it into chat chip here. now, too, summarize this for me.

It's a great hack. Oh, that is a really good. Yeah, I don't think I've ever once read any terms and conditions. Or pretend you are, you're like, mm-hmm, it looks pretty standard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even my radio contract, I don't know I've read the terms and conditions of that. I could be gone next week. Yeah, well, I'm, you know, a big fan of gum and mints and stuff like that often, you know,

carry around gum and mints and things like that. And my daughter, Indy had, she'd got, I'd given her some some say, she'd taken a packet to her, and she'd had a couple over the course of the day. And she comes up to me in the weekend. And she's like, oh, no. She's like, it says laxative effect on here. And I'm like, warning, laxative effect. And she's like, I've had like three or four pieces.

And I'm like, well, how do you feel? She's like, fine. I'm like, well, you're probably fine. But she's like, well, what will happen? Will it just come on? Will it just? And I'm frightening if you haven't experienced it, I know. And just the big warning of like laxative effect.

And she was all day, very nervous that things, nothing happened. Yeah. I was like, nothing will happen unless she really, but I guess, yeah, she was very worried that things were going to like take it to take it. How many mints and how much chewing gum do you have to eat for it to really? Yeah, well, I haven't had it. I haven't had it yet. I haven't reached that point in my chewing gum career. Horrible way to have it happen, though, wouldn't that, mate?

You just, you're like, chew it away. It's like, oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Uh-oh. We did a sausage tour of New Zealand. We went to actually every Bunnings store and had a sausage. And you can only imagine the, uh... It was like 50-something sausages over the course of. of five days, six days, yeah.

Yeah, you can only imagine the digestive system after that. And I went to the chemists and got some hospital-grade ones. Lacksetives, yeah. And again, I've the same with, I'd never taken them before. And I'm like, what happens? Does it just... When does it kick it? And boy, it just...

No, I won't have to finish, you know. Yeah, when it kicks in, it kicks in. When it kicks in. When it kicks in. Yeah, they're still sitting in my cupboard, though, if she wants to give them a go. I mean, it wasn't, no. It wasn't interest. It was just like, oh, Diego.
