Try barista-made iced coffees available now at your local McCafe. I would like to discuss this meme that I've just seen. Well, I don't really know if it's a meme. It's just like one of those, you know, writing on black squares on Instagram or Facebook. Nothing in the world

will turn you into a minimalist faster than cleaning out your parents' house. Right. And then I was like, parents collect so much shit, eh? I know. It's like your parents, I mean, they move quite a bit and they reno houses and, you know. They take all my shit with them Every single time Oh so it's your shit they've got Yeah man

I mean they've got shit My parents love Especially my mum Like she collects things And she's constantly redoing things So she'll like do her bedroom She'll be like I'm gonna paint a different colour

And get all new bedding And all new kind of things Right But like boxes And boxes And boxes Of mine and my brother's shit Why do you need Why do you need?

Because it's like memories. It's like little school books. I've got shoe boxes full of that sort of stuff. Stuff like that. But my parents moved house and they took all their boxes of VHS tapes. And they were like, we can't chuck them out. There's a concert recorded on that tape. Yeah.

And I'm like, you can get them all online. Don't have a tape player as well. Yeah, exactly. That's the more complicated thing. And if you did it, it would have dirty heads because they haven't put the cassette through it. It was primarily just made to clean the heads on the Mitzvah of a ship like Diamond. But then like old, yeah, old like appliances and just crap that I use. Oh, no, my parents are brutal.

They throw those out, but they throw them in the hole on the farm. The farm dump. And then when that gets full, where the annual fire that happens most early Decembers doesn't burn away everything, that'll get filled in and there'll be another hole dug. And then farmers don't want to pay emissions,

do they? They don't want to... It's got nothing to do with greenhouse gas, apart from the fire that's been lit. What are you telling me? Your favourite inner city cafe doesn't light a fire? That's what my parents' argument is always. You're telling me that townies aren't polluting the waterways? No, they're really not.

Well, they are. Supermarket trolleys and old tyres and such. Yeah, that's true. Fridges. Yeah. Old fridges. Obviously, I don't look forward to the day I have to clean out my parents' house because it means they've both died.

Yeah. But there will be some treats in there, I reckon. Oh, there'll be some treasures. Oh, yeah. I reckon take your time. Take a week. Yeah. Take a week.

Get a skip. Jewelry and she's got a big wardrobe. That's where I get it from. Yeah, but then what if there's a surprise? All of her fur coats and her ivories. Her fur coats, yeah. Her ivory keys on that piano she has. Second drawer down, bedside table

I'm not looking in there That whole thing just gets thrown out You just pick up bedside drawers and throw them out You never open them I don't want to know guys I hope that they still have them But I don't If one of them gets terminal, tell them to clean that drawer out

As with their last self act Like if they're like I I've got six months. Say, I know this is hard. Clean that out now. Clean out that bedside drawer. This is so grim. Silly's out of the way. Yeah.

Yeah, no, it's grim, but you know, it's planning ahead. You want to remember your parents in a good light, don't you? Not the filth you found in the second drawer down. Do you know, like my last grandfather passed away last year, and when we were going through his house, there were things right that you'd go, oh, that's always been mine. Or like, that was always going to be mine.

I bagged that Satisfyer Pro 2. I shotgunned that. Granddad's old wind-up Satisfyer Pro 1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was made of wood. Yeah. On the lathe. And it was like a wheel that turned.

I've seen the episode of The Repair Shop where they fix one. Yeah, amazing. But do you have that? The Repair Shop where they fix one. Yeah, amazing. But do you have that? They did The Repair Shop in 20, I don't know, like in 100 years. And someone's like, this was my grandfather's or my grandmother's Satisfyer Pro 2.

And they're like, ooh, yuck. Well, that button's not working anymore. We can't get a new button. I'm going to have to recraft some latex to fix the nib. Your grandma wore it right down. Right. Thank God they don't make batteries like this anymore. We'll put a nuclear battery in and grandma won't know what's in her.

Oh, my God. And then they do the reveal. They come back and they're like, uncloth it and it's on the table. Ready to be used all over again, Margaret. Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt.

Oh, it's just, it sounds just like it did when Grandma used to use it when I was around. Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt. Oh, this is Grandma's favourite set in this one. Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt, vrrt. Mm-hmm. Oh, this is Grandma's favourite set in this one. Oh, I just heard your tummy go. Yeah, that was my tum-tums.

That was my tum-tum-tums. Hey guys, I reckon that was the most fun I've ever had on a show. Ah, not for me, Vaughan. Okay. Nowhere even close. No, nowhere even close. Nowhere even close. You haven't been here long, have you?
