Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Hey, Hayley, guess what I just did?

What? Booked that accommodation Fletch told me not to do on work time. I could feel you were doing it. I could feel you were doing it. I heard the keys. I heard the keyboard. And I said, you're booking that accommodation, aren't you? You said, no, I'm not doing that. Sometimes when we're working behind the scenes, Hayley and I are working.

Yeah. Vaughn's slacking off. You hear the fucking keyboard. He's off to his own thing. Tabity, tabity, tap. God, I was talking to his other friends. You don't need any more of them. You've got us. And now I have

just signed a declaration using the trackpad on my laptop. Oh, that's living in the future. Oh, I love that, eh? That's really great. I'm done. So I'm ready to concentrate fully on this little bit of pond work. Yeah, well good, because this is about you. It is. I have taken to telling my parents I love them to finish the phone call. Now, we are

not that family. We never have been. Oh, no, I'm not that. No, I don't tell anyone I love them. Remember it being phone call. Now, we are not that family. We never have been. Oh, no, I'm not that. No, I don't tell anyone I love them. Remember it being said in our house growing up. Interesting. But I've always made a massive effort with my girls, constantly, all day, multiple times a day. Yeah. I love you. And like, remember I love you.

And goodnight, I love you. And like, constantly. But my parents aren't. But then lately I've just been a bit desperate. No, I'm from a love family. Yeah, I'm trying to morph it into A love family And I've started saying it to my parents Especially at the end of phone calls

Fucking every time they're like Love you too They don't We just don't Say it And we haven't That's so funny Would you say that they're still religious?

Nah. Because I'm- Catholic light. Because I was like, with my granddad, I'd always say, love you, and he'd say, God bless. Oh, right. You know? I wondered if your parents were God bless people. No, no, no, no, no, no.

They're just, see you, son. Bye. See ya. Bye. See ya later. Hooroo. Hooroo. Hooroo.

Hooroo. But yeah, lately. Love you. And mum's. Hooroo. Hooroo. Hooroo. But yeah, lately. Love you. And mum's like, love you. She has to prep herself to say it. And dad's like, yep, I love you too. Oh, I think it's a beautiful thing. It blurts it out.

Because you know what? It could be the last time you talk to them. And if you don't get to end it with that, then I'd always regret it. Fletch should try this. No. Do you reckon it would take Bev off guard? I don't want it. We did it once for his birthday.

We made him say, I love you, Mum. Yeah. And she said it back. Because there's no question that you do love them. It's just the expression of. It's implied by my phone call to them. There's an implication. Actually, earlier before on air, you said,

God, I love this man. I love this man about Fletch. I love this guy. Say it back. Say it back. I love this man. I love this man about flesh. I love this guy. Say it back. I love this guy. You're so funny. The world needs more of it. But how long have you been doing this for?

A few months. And it's still awkward. It still catches them by surprise. Yeah. Because we haven't done it. We've finished phone calls for like the last, we're going to move out of home, the year 2000. So like 24 done it We've finished phone calls For like the last When did I move out of home? The year 2000

So like 24 years of phone calls Have always just been like Alright, see ya, bye Alright, talk soon, bye Do you reckon you'll take it To my family's level And become lip kissers? No, no, no

Absolutely not Because you know My parents were just staying And I gave them big We had big cuddles And lip kisses And then love you See you soon

When am I seeing you next? I hug my dad and I say, Christ's sake, eat something. That's what I say. Because he's getting so small. He's so small. I know old people start shrinking. That's weird, eh? Yeah.

It's really weird. They're so small. And I hug mum and she's like, you don't say that to me. They're like brittle brandy snaps. Yeah, they are, right? My dad's shrinking for sure. Yeah. Except no cream inside. Nah. Well, there isn't. How hard My dad's shrinking for sure. Yeah, except no cream inside.

Nah. Well, there isn't. How hard are you squeezing your old people? There might be some cream inside. There might be. Deep down inside. It's got to be whipped, you know, otherwise it falls out. Controversial.

I like it when the brandy snaps go a little bit soft. No, far out. Yeah, do you know what? I don't even like brandy snaps, I'll be honest. Oh, I love them. The snapping. It's the snapping. No wonder.

Your brittle teeth can handle a brandy snap. I know. I've got little buttery teeth. I'll be honest I love them the snapping it's the snapping no wonder your brittle teeth can handle a brainy snap I know I've got little buttery teeth yeah with small roots short roots short root that one's got a short root

that's why it's a bit wobbly wobble it you'll pull it out I don't really want it to go out alright well to our podcast listeners love you
