• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was saying yesterday, Jess, we love your snort. Yeah, we're
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: going to get to that. Jess. You've got a book
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: coming out in collaboration with Kleenex. I've seen the ads
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on TV. Actually it's all about pooh. Can you tell
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: us about this?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You know? You see, I love to have a laugh,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: as you both know. I love to use laughter as
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a way to have difficult conversations or embarrassing conversations. Let's
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: face it, yes we all do poohs.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We don't talk about it all, don't Yeah.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And what I have loved doing with Kleenex. The book
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: is called It's my first of a kid's book, I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: can't wait my first school pooh wow, because the reasoning
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: behind it is, did you know that almost half of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: young kids age between three and eight don't do a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: poo at school because either they are anxious, they're embarrassed
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and because they're thinking, oh no, it might smell or
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: my friends might tease me, Oh I can't do it.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: That then has mental sort of impacts, impacts on their
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: physical health, and also they're learning because they're thinking about
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: going to the toilet and they can't concentrate in class.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: They're holding it in, holding it in.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You want to cry.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: People, even even adults at workplaces I think, do the same.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Even that's normal for adults also to hold it in
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: all show. But it's true though, because there's this embarrassment
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: around Oh no, we can't talk about it, but hello,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: we all do it, And so school beginning school is
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: challenging enough. I know for many parents you talk to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: them and they talk about that their kids are embarrassed
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: about doing a poet school. How can we have this
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: conversation it can do. We've got a book and it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a lovely way in because I know with my girls
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: when they were little, often you think how do I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: bring this up? And you can bring it up with
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the book and with these gorgeous characters, because you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I'm a crazy cat lady. There's this wonderful character in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: here called the ity busy glitter kitty.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Well, and they have no problem pooing as uskkado, that's right.

• 3:41
  Speaker 1: speaking of Pooh, I guess I don't know how we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: transition from that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: You coined the term crap housewife.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Now I know that doesn't mean literal crap obviously, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'm bad. I'm a really bad is it bad?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: The whole thing And how it all came about was
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I used to think I had to be perfect. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: thought I had to be the perfect mum, have it
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: all together all the time, and everyone has this amazing
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: life and isn't it all fabulous? But as we know
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: better than anyone, life is not perfect. And so I thought,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm going to lean into my crappiness and proudly say
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I'm a crap housewife. I cannot cook, like the song goes,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Clean, and.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: There's some song you cook you let me tell you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I got this ring, thank you very much motto, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want I don't know.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That is I think just at home, Peter.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It's all just like down literally, yes.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, cleaning at home then, Peter Overton.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: No, I'm so lucky. My darling husband is the world's
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: most patient man, because not only is he married to me,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: he loves to clean. He's really handy with a vacuum cleaner.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He finds it relaxing to load the dishwasher and do
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the dishes in the morning because I just it's not.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: My what happens. So he does the news on Sydney
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: until seven. Does he come home and have dinner with you?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Or has he got to make his own dinner?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: When I still make him dinner? But I think he
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: would often think I wish he didn't make it, because
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I do. I was going to cook spaghetti bollinades for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the bazillianth time last night, and he said, pussy Cat,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I can't. I don't think I can do that again.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: So we did chicken snitzl in the air fry.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Oh do that? You're not too crap? Hey, it's Mother's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Day on the weekend. You've got grown up daughters. How
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: old are they now?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Allegra is nineteen? Yeah, Sally seventeen.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, do they still give you a Mother's Day present?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Do they treat you well?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But for me, the best Mother's Day pressy is just
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: no one talk to me, but no one. I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: want anyone near me, don't ask me for anything to do.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Just leave me in peace.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: That's what all mums want. Yes, you know? Okay, Well,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Jess you are. We've heard the snort a few times
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: this morning, and it is one of the best parts
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of you, among many is your laugh. You get so
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: into it, do you reckon? You could tell the difference
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: between your laugh and pepper pigs snort if we played
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you some you're just sploring before, won't you? Yes?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I think I reckon, I could tell the difference. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: used to watch a lot of Pepper Pig when my
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: girls a little.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Did you like it? Some people don't like it?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I loved it and I loved as well. There was
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a character called Miss Rabbit, who mothers everywhere can relate to.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: She literally did every job in the village. She was
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: doing everything, and she would appear all the time. No,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I loved it, and always at the end they'd end
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: up laughing in the mud, regardless of what happened.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: So we've got what we got here is it could
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be your snort or it could be pepper pig. Here
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: we go, all right? Number one? Is that your pepper pig?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I reckon? That's me correct, it's all what it is.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It's the resonance.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's a strong snort. Yeah, but it's also very lady like.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: What about this one?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I reckon, that's pepper that was.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: We'll go one more. Let's see, is it going to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: be Jess Row or pepper pig snorting.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: That's you can feel like I can.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he Jess Rose, so good to have you in always.
