Was that Maconroe ranting at the fans at the airport in the sports news?

0:37.1

Leave me alone. Stop.

0:54.2

He's still got it. He's still got it. I like it. It's on brand. Everyone these days, all these celebrities, they're all just too shiny. You don't buy it. You know, well, they're always kind polite. They've got time for all the fans. I like it, the Maconone. Still sometimes can be a bit cranky. And again, you're at the airport.

0:54.2

He's probably got a long flight back And again, you're at the airport.

0:56.7

He's probably got a long flight back to America,

1:10.5

tired from the last couple of weeks that did anything here. He just wants to get on his plane. Or more importantly, probably getting the lounge and away from us. He's tired. He's had a long tournament. Three weeks. And I'm so old is he now? 60 odd. I reckon he's got to be late 60s, surely.

1:13.8

He's just a bit cranky and maybe he's not had a snack yet.

1:10.8

He's not got to Maccas there. He's got to get through security, which in Australia, depending on what city you're in. Melbourne's the strange city where they make you take your belt off. Oh, yes, and you never know. And hold it in your hand like you're a cowboy, a rodeo. I'm sure they do that. Maybe they do that just to me. Search a new thing. I saw it written on the signs. We haven't had time to print them off yet at Office Works. I always never know. You know when you go through the scanner. Yeah. Do you stand with your hands like sort of tight to your sides or do you do that? No, you follow the silhouette. Yes, but I saw someone just standing normally. I didn't know that was an option. I think you can just stand like a normal person and not do that weird sort of picture that they do. I reckon they should really just encourage you to style it out and throw your own shapes in there. Dab, whatever you want to do, okay? The caterpillar, the worm. Do any of that. All right, every Tuesday on the show then, we talk about Monday. And how did you start your week? Are you a Monday winner or loser? How did you start your week yesterday? What's it for you, Pat? There's always drama in our house. So I'm definitely a Monday loser. So my... Back to school. Yeah, back to school. My teenager got home yesterday. I have because, you know, I love... Cranky like macaroni. Leave me alone, man. Oh, yeah. Exhausted. Exhausted, hungry, sweaty. Wanting to know what's at 4pm. I have on our front door, the mother of all, wreaths, a beautiful floral wreath, and it's not a Christmas wreath. It's just a floral wreath, and it's rather large. It takes up the whole width of the front door. But I would, if I'm going by that, I'd say, I would presume that someone has passed away. No, no, I would. What of those is? Outside of Christmas, I just think it's when someone passes away. No, it says, this is a happy home. It says, you're welcome. Come in. Take your shoes off. I'll make you a cupper. It's just very home. Shoes off. You know, some people really are. Just take shoes off, absolutely it is. Anyway, Audrey, my daughter has quite very, very curly hair and a lot of it. And as she's walked in the front door and her and my husband have been complaining about this floral reef that it doesn't belong there. It gets in the way. It gets jammed in the door. Anyway, yesterday her hair got caught on it as she's coming through the front door. Oh, no. It's like a spider's web for a teenager. It's like a teredactal dory. Charlotte's web. And we were there for about 10 minutes trying to untangle her hair. She was fully stuck, right? There's a new series of Stranger Things in the office. It's like that. And I had to fetch my husband. He was working up in the top office.

4:00.9

He couldn't get her free. I actually had to cut her free. Oh, no, you're to cut into her hair. She was horrified. Because, you know, this year, now she's in senior school. For the first time... It's all about the look. They can wear the hair down. It doesn't have to be back. like middle school here had to be up, but now they're in senior school.

4:14.2

They can wear the hair down. It doesn't have to be back. Like middle school, hair had to be up. But now they're in senior school. They can have the hair down. So it is all about. So what does she do not know? In my mind, it's kind of like Helen Ebonacarta. Well, luckily she's got so much hair. You couldn't tell. It just, like, kind of covers it up.

4:16.3

So the wreath might have to go today. We must do today. We're going to do three-top of Tuesday. One of the things you've been stuck in or on. Yes. Your mum's front-door wreath. I don't know if we're going to get anything better than that, Patsy. That's a great one. Let us know.

4:32.9

How was your day yesterday?
