"It's better to be nice than right, Dad". Life adventures and journeys of a dad and his daughter from Melbourne Australia
We didn't smell our way out of the Escape Room, and ended up going to the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere - Chadstone - TWICE in one day. Once to fix Snapchat, briefly. Once to see Barbie. Tom ate humble pie over that. You really don't need to know the rules to play Dungeons and Dragons - so long as the Dungeon Master does. Holly doesn't like bacon or pizzas. Tracy has a list of foods she dislikes. It is good to be a Rockstar, though.
Tom and Holly welcome the highly requested and popular Haylee back into the Green Studio. And the Green Studio dog, Cookie, comes along for the ride too. Haylee stood up and sung like a real Rockstar, while Holly navigated around the largest shopping complex in the Southern Hemisphere. Street performers can be terrifying. So can snort laughing. What the hell? Shopping, shopping, shopping, lost. Recover. Namaste.
The clod, Tom, announced this as Episode 47. He apologises as it is Episode 46. Meanwhile, early in the recording, working conditions in the Green Studio were severely compromised by Holly’s “contribution”. May well need to consult the union. We wonder if Holly can remember what “DFO” stands for, even if she knows very well what to do when there. Chlo Chlo suffers FOMO around pyjama shopping at Peter Alexander’s in Chadstone City, and the crew have been running, ergoing and eating fish tablets to make their “trams and trains” run better. Tom lost his front tooth when his crown exploded eating a lamb chop. Streaming services are the gift that keep on giving, until they outlast your TV, and Holly has a MASSIVE English Royal Family and Princess Diana possible (hopeful) alternative reality.
Holly doesn’t like seeds. Weird. But does Tom really know Holly’s birthday? Australian Schools Futsal National Championships in Brisbane. Holly gets an A for her fractions test, so Christmas isn’t cancelled. Namaste.
Dog attack 'em. Pronounce “PHO?” properly would ya?! Tom and Holly pay their respects to their recently departed relative HRH Queen Elizabeth II. School holidays are for school holidays. Musical not chairs but hotel rooms. Holly's a chip/crisp whisperer. Things we say to each other. The Matrix and Holly discovered Lost. Chickens are producing again after a well earnt hiatus.
Namaste.
Tom and Holly are back for Season Trois! We see Holly’s strange relationship with a puffy yellow smiley face sticker and how good is the Star Wars Jedi theme? Yes, you know it. The little or the small fork?! Both hosts get through COVID but pi/3 + pi/6 = ??? Holly likes the dentist. Yep. What the? And we reminisce on how parents pass down diseases. Thanks a bunch. Tom is half a C (…years old) now. Namaste.
The MFCG hosts try out their local Pho and prepare every element (except for the noodles) of a ramen for the first time. Tom is changed as a person after this meal. Forever. It is important to balance brain exercise with body exercise with well-being, and Tom and Holly endeavoured to do this. Holly discovered Star Wars movies and laughed when they came up against Star Trek in one of our favourite shows, Superstore. Norseman review. So funny. People are favourited in netball apparently and if you have something to say, raise your hand and............Namaste.
Tom and Holly talk about what's on Holly's Maths Test? The dog attacked something. Top Gun viewing at the Jam Factory. Apparently, Dad's potato life is funny. The School Captain. Noodling. Possem with COVID compounded. Chlo Chlo is nearly a nurse! You can never take a recorded burp back. That's once. That's twice. Idiot. Namaste.
Tom and Holly went to the football! AFL Round 5 Easter Monday afternoon match. Hawthorn vs Geelong at the MCG. And we didn’t think we would win, but we did! Here Kitty, Kitty. Sushi is one of the best foods in the world. In Holly’s project, we found that in Australia we reuse wastewater to combat the global scarcity in fresh water…join the dots on that for yourself for a moment. The intrinsic importance of algebra. Season 9 MAFS couples wrap up and an extended Wisdom with Tom. You’re welcome. Namaste.
Did you know they teach sink drying at school? Holly does. And she is sitting scholarship exams soon too! She is very busy sacrificing for lent until Easter as well as déjà vu in the pastoral classroom. There is a war on. Nasty and unsettling. Tom and Holly contemplate the dangers of a government referring all decisions to the health professionals who concentrate only on minimising COVID infection – if you or someone you know is adversely affected by this content, please contact HELPLINE on 13 11 14 in Australia, or your local health support agency (for overseas listeners). We look at the abysmal behaviour on MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT (MAFS) and especially that of Olivia and Carolina vs Domenica…some of which was very difficult to watch. But perhaps the experiment will blow up? Who knows? Excitement.
Tom and Holly are delighted to welcome the excellent Amy into the studio as they all explore their astrological traits, things they rate or hate, even a quiz and how Holly’s dog looks a little bit like a rat when he’s bathing. There’s a massive fox nearby and we discuss some behaviours that are not appreciated at the shopping centre. The gang critiques their favourite Vietnamese restaurant after ordering and devouring spring rolls and Pho. Namaste.
Holly enlightens us on her morning routine and her complex concert of alarms. SHARKS at the beach in Merimbula, MAFS is back, and we 'cook' citronella leaves for the mozzie repelling properties of the oil. Holly is terrific at science (this list is not exhaustive). Tom highly recommends the YouTube series by John Vervaeke called "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" and if you say you're going to turn up - turn up, or else we'll never employ you to garden at our joint again.
Tom and Holly have been busy. Real busy. Dodging COVID, thinking up ways (excuses) to eat garlic, reviewing kitchenware and getting (very) entertained. We converse over cooking shows, MASSIVE streaming blockbusters, and some fantastic co-operative gaming. Tom explains how to keep your secret beach spot secret. Holly reckons that might be a bit dumb. And the pair disagree on the worst place in the world to go for a camping holiday. Namaste.
Tom and Holly navigate the scare of COVID (well) and talk about cooking chicken and omelettes. They discuss their findings under the Christmas tree and look forward to a trip to the sunny beach-side town of Lorne with good friends. Tom is wise also, if you didn't know, just for you. I don't think Holly laughed at one of Tom's jokes. Not even a little bit. Do better Tom. Namaste.
Tom dedicates this episode to the academic brilliance and recognised achievements of Holly. She won the award for being the smartest at school and this is wholly deserved. Everything else on this episode pales into insignificance.
Happy birthday to Holly! Hip! Hip! Hooray! Unfortunately, Tom doesn't understand why the audio recording of this episode was dodgey. But as consummate amateurs they battled on through their glorious discussions covering Cookie, a mysterious visitor to the back garden, vaccination, fountain pens, bike and sailing camps (having varying success) and Daniel's Donuts. The pair wrapped up the 2021 TV series of SAS Australia and talked keto diets and hot pots. Tom thinks he's wise and funny, and really, Holly is the entertaining one.
Tom welcomes Holly to discuss and reflect on Teisha's 21st birthday. Holly challenges Australia Post on their business strategy.

What was THAT?!?! Tom and Holly recount when the earth moved in Victoria with a 5.9 earthquake from (under) the high country. The pair talk about plans for the week in holiday between terms 3 and 4 of Grade 6 - Minecraft (Bedrock Edition), cooking, Cookieing and chooking, no less.

Holly has some spontaneous thoughts through word associations. Email: mygreenpodcast@gmail.com

They interview The Victorian Premier over beliefs that interest in Pokemon Go is dwindling around the local area and Tom has some of the most truthful words ever he hath doth spoke to the people he loves the most in the world. Ever. Holly cries. So does Tom. Then they laughed. Then they played Minecraft.
Tom and Holly press the "green button" and effect a displacement of time which enables them to interview the stars of the show in the car on their way to the studio. They discuss the Olympics of the XXXII Olympiad in Tokyo, shopping at Aldi with rude bullies and yet again at the Daniel's Donut customer service kiosk. Some wisdom and facts are rounded out with some corking gags. What a lark.
