  Speaker 1: With this pleasure, deep erotic pleasure. It is deep and

  Speaker 1: What do you got?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: We were finishing bath and stuff from putting kids to bed.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: It's part of the routine. And I had already gone

• 6:51
  Speaker 2: We got?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: We just got some pizzas, something really nice and cool.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We just both felt like pizza some reason, which is rare.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: We both felt like the same thing. It's not the
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: only thing we both felt like.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Anyway. So I was like April actually eight.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Before we did bath, and I was like, man, I
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: just want to enjoy it without the kids going give
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: and then having a bite or something and then it's
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: throwing in the beginning.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But we all know how you get after having a
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: meal sleepy. Yeah, they really letargic.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: And I had also picked up there's like a little
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: confectiony shop next to this pizza shop that has all
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the American chocolates and candy and whatever they call it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, I grab something different for
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: after its Sunday night. Yeah, so I went and got that. Sorry,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I just had a thought that it was nothing to
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: do with that nothing or something.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It was like I was going to say body chocolate,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: but that's where I thought this was going.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. She got something that's like
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: obscure like that. We would never usually have butt plug. Sorry,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: how did you know a chocolate butt plug?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: And I was, I know, we were finishing the bath
• 7:59

• 8:34
  Speaker 1: hope not, which I love. Continue they're killing me here.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Okay anyway, she was like, oh, I thought I thought
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: we could have another type of a special treat.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, April's going to kill me for this.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Fuck yeah yeah, yeah, then what happened.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: She's gonna kill me for this?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Pick cares And I was like, sorry, rephrase that, April.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: We do care about the way that you feel about
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: certain stories being told. But this is very important because
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I need to learn, because I don't know what I'm
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: doing in this department.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Through I I went downstairs, I got my dinner ready,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: sat in front of the TV, took one look at
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: it and thought, if.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I eat all this, I'm going to be useless to everybody.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: So I packed the dinner back up, put it away.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I walked back upstairs, and I poked my head in
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: the room and I was finishing putting the kids sleep,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: and I said, I'm going to eat later, and I
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: ate later.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Let's put it that way. Wow, And that's how you
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about divorce?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Hit me as in like do I want to do it?
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Or just in general not us. I'm the product of
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: a lot of divorce, as in, like my parents got
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: divorced a lot.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: How many divorces in total?
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: So my mum was married three times, divorced twice. My
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: dad was married twice but then also engaged a third
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: time and separated, so they were pretty much married but
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: they never actually got married.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: So three and two.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So what's your take on divorces? Then?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I used to be very skeptical, not of divorce but
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: of marriage. So prior to meeting you, I always kind
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: of said I didn't want to get married because I
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: didn't think it was worth the paper that it was
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: written on. And I always was like I was never
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: the girl that pictured my wedding or the white dress
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: or any of that sort of fairy tale because it
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: kind of just felt like it didn't mean a lot,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: I guess, And then meeting you, I don't know. We're
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: a very good team together, like we are. We very
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: much support each other, We work really well together. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: think we both saw marriage in a very similar way.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: And I felt confident when we were together that if
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: sheit got hard, you would work on it. And I think,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: and this is probably maybe going a bit too deep,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but in my past relationships, I think
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I always lived with a really big fear that they
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: were going to just leave, like that if I wasn't
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: pretty enough, or smart enough, or funny enough, if I
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: wasn't like always on my best game, that if we
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: had a fight, they would leave, you know, because anytime
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: we did have a fight, often they would break up
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: with me or it was like very tumultuous. Whereas like
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: with you, especially when we got pregnant. With when I
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: first got pregnant, your reaction to that pregnancy spoke volumes
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: about the person that you were.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: How did I react? Again, I think I was just excited.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: It was yeah, but okay, So I mean, and like
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: I said, maybe this is because it was a surprise.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: It was a surprise, which is like, thank god, you're excited.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: But so I was in a six year relationship with
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: my ex and he basically was like if you if
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: you ever got pregnant and you didn't have an abortion,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: I'd leave you. That's what he would say, and he
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: would say it so frequently that it was an expectation
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: that if I chose to not have an abortion, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: he was not going to stick around for the relationship.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Wow, And I.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Thought that was normal, Like, of course I was hurt
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: by it, but I was so naive to how people
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: treated each other in relationships that I was like, Oh,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: that's what I'm deserving of. And so when I told
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: you that I was pregnant, I was so worried that
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: you were going to be angry at me, that you
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: were going to be like this is fucked, Like how
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: we're going to fucking manage this? And you burst out
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: laughing and you were so happy. And I was like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: this guy's is a fucking good egg? Is a really
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: good egg?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, I was, Was that right?
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I'm Mariam?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I was similar in that. I remember.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: It's weird how certain situations and conversations are those core
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: memories in your mind. My mum and dad split up
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: when I was about twelve, I think eleven or twelve,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and I hated I hated the fact that their family
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was being split up, even though I can look back
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and I know it was absolutely it had to happen
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that it was so unhealthy for us all to be
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: together under the one roof.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: But when you're a kid, you just you can't you
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: can't understand, like you know what you know, right, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: even if what you know is toxic, it's still the
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: safest version because it's what you're familiar with totally.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And I remember when my dad would cook the barbecue
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: outside on the veranda. I would always just like it
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: was like my job to get the tongs and get
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the plate. It was always just I would be his
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: little helper. And I remember my dad was flipping the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: steaks and he looked him and he said, matter, if
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I can give you one advice in this world, it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: never get married.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, thanks dad.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And I remember thinking to myself, I was like, you're wrong.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm going to prove you wrong. I remember like I'm
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: so stubborn that I was like, I was like, no,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. Are we right? And I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm going to make it work.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: I feel very similar. Like I feel like I, you know,
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: you either repeat the things that your parents did in
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: their relationships because that's your blue print, or you like
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: really actively choose to be different. And I think even
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: though we're not perfect all the time, and we have
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: our moments where we will accuse each other of gaslighting
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: each other, like we are so on the same team,
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: like we're never opposing each other. And and I have,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: like I have such strong faith and like reassurance and absolute,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: like unwavering faith that even when things get really hard,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: like we we're in it. We're in the shit together
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: and we will work hard to make it better. Yeah,
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: And that that's for me, is like our marriage feels
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: very different then to what my expectation of marriage was.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Just because we're so fucking stubborn. I love you, Okay,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So at the moment Laura is away.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: Oh of course, gallivanting in between the boozy lunches April's
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: having and the troops Laura is having, we might as
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: well move in together, two gay dads.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I thought, you never asked, and I did. I facetimed
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the other day she is working over there, she's working
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: very hard. But I facetimed, literally facetimed, guess where she
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: was next to the pool, by the pool and tonic
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: in hand, and she was like, it's between meetings. I was.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Meeting with sir Jin and Satonic.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I was her and a sister obviously her business partner
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, just having a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: bloody lovely time sipping G and T's by the pool.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Just part of the reason why it's not hit me
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: as hard is because I've got like the mum shield.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, because they just get on with it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: They just get on with it. A drop in one
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: or two degrees in temperature, and I'm like other hatshess
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: bed ridden, head into bed.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: But so I've got like the mumshield which is deflecting.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm running it like half capacity right now, and I've
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: got both kids. Nana is also away.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: She's galimanty too.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The women in my life have deserted me back to Vegas.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I's go go on to the days of us having
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: a hell of time. So I'm looking after both kids.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I will say the trip that we had on the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: cruise ship that has helped me a great deal and
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: just making Lola not think I'm a piece of shit.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you bonded.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And now that Laura's out of the mix, she's
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: come back and get in the dark side. This morning
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: was a little bit tricky, though, this morning was a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: bit of a clusterfuck, if I may say that, go
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: for it. What happened, well, the girls have over the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: last few nights because Laura has been gone for a
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: little while now, Lola's been waking up at two o'clockish
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: once a warm water. That's her jam. She gets the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: warm water in a baby bottle to go back to sleep,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and then when I give it to her, she's like,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I want to cuddle. As a man who's been neglected
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: by their child for a long period of time, who
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: were I knock back a cuddle?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Like did you say cuddle?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: She's like no, no, I'm like dragging her into my bed.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: She's like, leave me alone, But I bring it into
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: my bed, and then Marley will then wake.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Up realize that she's not there because they share a room, right,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: they share a room.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: How is the bunk beds going just really quick?
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: A great? Yeah, I might have to get some absolutely fantastic,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: highly reckord.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I don't need Macy running around as well in the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: middle of the night. She's she's bad news.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I would keep the cop for as long as you can,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: but when it's time to bunk.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Beds, even the lid I keep the lid on it. No,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: you got me, just lock her in there.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: But Marley will wake up and then she comes into
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: our bed and then I've got both girls in the bedroom.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Issue is can I wake each other up? And then
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they start chatting as well?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Are they chatting about?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Just like I don't know. Marley woke up the small morning.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I was talking about daycare. She was just like, well,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: today's going to be pretty big day because we're making
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: these cards. And Molly was like, right, how many cards
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: are you making?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Scheduling in meetings?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: It was five in the morning, and I was like,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Marley was like, well, I'm up now, and I'm like, no,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's not it's in the middle of the night.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's like right at the cusp of like
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: the end of day, let's saving two, so it's so dark,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: that's right.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, You've got to go back to sleep.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I was like, please come on, and do you know
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: what she said? Sleeping is boring.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: She says that now, but when you get older, you're like,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I wish I could get more sleep.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: It's not boring, it's the best.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: So our day started at five o'clock this morning and
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: we had two bottles of milk in the fridge. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: used up one on the girl's breakfast. I then had
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the freshy fresh bottle. You know, sometimes things happen where
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it doesn't register that that's a problem, and it's issue
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: after the fact that you're like, oh, yeah, I should
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: have known. But I opened the milk and it was
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: like I was opening a bottle of coke. I went
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the milk. You've said that the kids no, because they
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: had the bottle that was finished, that was already opened. Okay,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So I opened the fresh bottle.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: You never buy two at a time for starters. That
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: was your milk management.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Terrible, terrible.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You've either got too much or not an ass.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: So you had some carbonated milk for breakfast and I didn't.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Register until I was almost like, I was so tired,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and I had one mouthful and I had the second one. Oh,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and it was it was so fucking it was two
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: weeks off.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, was it clumpy?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Not clumpy? I was in this scene vomiting. Amalia and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Laula were like, can you keep it down.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: The release of gas is definitely a gay.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: If you're opening up milk.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You got some milk on.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: So that's how my morning started with a carbonated milk.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, how are you feeling now?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Good?
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: You just got it straight.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I vomited it all up straight out.
