Do you know I was recently at a sports game Where you take your sunglasses off inside, please Haley? They do love those glasses. They're like Pablo Escobar like tinted yellow.

Yeah. Thanks. Beautiful. Wait, they are actually old. Yeah, I got them in from a vintage store in Melbourne. You were like absolutely pissed off your tits the other week wearing them inside drunk. I bought them at the club until 5am.

I saw the pictures of you guys in the club. Everyone would have thought I was like, ah, out of my brain. Excuse me, I wasn't in the club. I went home. I didn't say you were in the club. Were you proud of me for going home? Dude.

I know, and it would be expected. You're not gonna hit the clubs. My little, there was a, the angel on my shoulder was like, he's going home and you're staying at his house, go with him. And then the devil was like, no. Fuck this shit.

Fuck that little baby, let's go out till five. I got up in the morning, I was like, I see Haley's still out. Oh, you went for a wee-wees. Spear room door was open, I was like, she's still out. No one's in there. Anyway, okay, glasses are off please, and I'm listening to your story.

So I'm at a sporting event and I'm sitting there and my kids are playing, one kid is playing and I'm overhearing a conversation. I'm a suck having kids at sports games all the time. My parents, I remember they'd just drop me off and pick me up and sometimes we'd walk home. Marching how much? Three times a week. My parents had to drive me to Stokes Valley.

Did they watch them or drop you off? Not trainings but comps you would watch. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They wouldn't stay for training. If it was a short training you'd kick around because we lived so far away. Not a Saturday morning cricket. My parents had things to do. My mum couldn't, she said hockey, yes netball, absolutely, but cricket's an all day situation.

We just don't have all day. No, it was all morning. It wouldn't finish till like 11 or 12. Yeah. If I have a kid ever, one whoops, and two, I hope they're just an iPad kid, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Because that's nice. It leaves me to do all my things. Yeah.

I hope they don't have passions. iPad. Do you know what I mean? Because passions cost money and they cost time. Yeah. You don't want an iPad kid. Yeah, I do. Be like, what are you doing? I'm playing a game. I'd be like, good boy. Stay out of mommy's way. Right.

OK, well, I'm at a sports game. Don't worry, I won't have a kid. I love my children, and I don't want them to be iPad children and screen addicts. And I'm overhearing a conversation happening between some other parents. Oh, I love these. Little eavesdropping.

Oh my god, I'm hearing all about this Steve. Steve's had a bad year. Steve's had a broken bone. Steve's found out he's got a herniated disc in his back. Oh my god, I'm hearing all about this Steve. Steve's had a bad year. Steve's had a broken bone. Steve's found out he's got a herniated disc in his back. Oh my god. It's affecting his ability to walk. He's having issues now with urinating. Aw.

It's all connected down the spine, isn't it? Yeah, he'll urinate without warning. He'll try to urinate and have no warning. I'm hearing all about Steve. God, you don't wanna be at work. Steve doesn't wanna be at work and all of a sudden needs to. That's horrible. That would be awful. Doesn't even need to. It just happens. Yeah. My horrible situation. I'm hearing all about Steve. Steve's got a wheelchair for part of it, but they're

hoping to get him out and they're getting some answers and Steve's been everywhere. Everywhere man. What a horrible conversation to be eavesdropping on. I know. And I was just like, it was loud and her friends were like egging her on you know when when um someone gets a little bit like and they're like it's okay and oh my god and so that encourages the storyteller to go on and on and on and on. Were you gaining some perspective you know sometimes when you see people having... Oh absolutely it made me feel I urine when I want to and then I stop urinating when I want to. Yeah, you're on your own terms. I'm on my own terms with urinating. I don't have a herniated disc.

I've had sore backs in the past. I can feel Steve's frustration, but his is worse than I've ever experienced. Yeah. You haven't been in a wheelchair. 12 or so minutes into. Steve's journey. I learned and oh, there's a figure attached to it. Yep.

Tens of thousands. Oh Jesus, yeah. Oh it's spent on. We mustn't have healthcare. Nah. Steve's a dog. Wait, when did you? Twelve minutes in.

Steve's a dog. Wait, Steve's got a wheelchair? Steve the dog has a wheelchair? Yeah, with the little back leg ones. Yeah. Oh. So he's got the front legs in, but apparently to take the weight off he had a harness attached in the wheels. Have you seen them?

I don't think that's how dogs function. Yeah. I don't know if that's how dogs function socially like that. And I was like, huh. This gets to a point where you just like. And I just saw back through and I was like, Steve's been through too much for a dog. Yeah.
