- 1:26Speaker 1: There we go?
- 1:27Speaker 2: We got there. My first question is to you, no
- 1:29Speaker 2: baby yet.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Look, Laura wants it to be out where. Moments away
- 1:35Speaker 1: she looked up.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Very uncomfortable at that stage where it's like the very
- 1:39Speaker 2: last couple of weeks.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Every step is agony for her, and she wants it
- 1:43Speaker 1: to come out.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Indian food. I heard people.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Have a lot of different thoughts on how to make
- 1:48Speaker 1: the baby come out, Indian food being one of them.
- 1:51Speaker 1: I heard olive oil is another reason that the baby
- 1:54Speaker 1: will come out.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Okay, from what end?
- 1:56Speaker 1: Don't this is what.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I go.
- 2:00Speaker 1: It's not from me, it's the Italians. Ah, but a
- 2:04Speaker 1: rumor that I heard. I don't know if you're familiar
- 2:06Speaker 1: with this rumor, but apparently sex will bring on.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Labor between us. If so, let's get it there.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to say that, but so sex with
- 2:18Speaker 1: Laura obviously very good? Very good. I thought, I've been
- 2:22Speaker 1: doing some scientific research.
- 2:24Speaker 2: On TikTok on this.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Well, now do you more so Instagram than TikTok. I
- 2:30Speaker 1: put the call out there. I asked people if they
- 2:32Speaker 1: have had labor come on off the back of sex.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Mixed reports, there's only one way to get a true answer.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Here a medical expert.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, I'm not a medical ebsert. I appreciate the
- 2:44Speaker 2: kind word. What are you going to call one?
- 2:48Speaker 1: I have in my hand right now a mobile phone,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and on that phone is a number of an obstetrician,
- 2:52Speaker 1: doctor Bennett, Doctor Bennett, Doctor Bennett.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Doctor Bennett's strong name.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Strong name the expert. Let's speak to her any other
- 3:02Speaker 1: medical questions you want to ask at the same time.
- 3:04Speaker 2: No, but in that name, there's two e's, two ends,
- 3:06Speaker 2: two t's boom Bennett.
- 3:10Speaker 1: How your mind works? It is a mystery.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Maybe she can study my mind while it's on the phone.
- 3:15Speaker 1: That's called doctor Bennett, Doctor Bennett. We would like to
- 3:19Speaker 1: put forward a question that has been asked by parents
- 3:23Speaker 1: to be for centuries. My wife is currently not in labor.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Would like to be in labor. Yeah, and I have
- 3:33Speaker 1: put forward the suggestion that sex will help bring on
- 3:36Speaker 1: labor to back up my claim. Is there any scientific
- 3:42Speaker 1: proof on the matter.
- 3:44Speaker 3: You'll be pleased to know that, yes, there has been
- 3:48Speaker 3: some small studies that have suggested it might help bring
- 3:52Speaker 3: on labor.
- 3:53Speaker 1: When you say small, my ears pricked up.
- 3:57Speaker 3: It basically is worth a try. But no, guarantees. It
- 4:03Speaker 3: works in two ways. So, first of all, in the
- 4:06Speaker 3: semen as prostaglandins, which soften the cervix and can bring
- 4:10Speaker 3: on labor. So prostagondins are what we sometimes used to
- 4:13Speaker 3: induce labor medically, so that's one way it can work.
- 4:16Speaker 3: And then also if it's good sex and there's orgasm involved,
- 4:20Speaker 3: then it can release oxytocin, which is your love hormone,
- 4:24Speaker 3: which can bring on labor.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Definitely, that one.
- 4:30Speaker 4: It might help, but it's got to be good sex.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Question for you really quick, any particular position.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Whatever position you can get yourself.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Into, well said, Well said, yeah, that.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Technically can be challenging, but where there's a world as.
- 4:47Speaker 2: A way, that's the spirit only.
- 4:52Speaker 3: The only reason you wouldn't want to do it is
- 4:53Speaker 3: if your waters have broken, don't do it.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Then that would be a.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Or if a doctor has said you shouldn't do it,
- 5:03Speaker 3: so few if there's.
- 5:04Speaker 2: A doctor in the room while you're doing it, I'd
- 5:05Speaker 2: be concerned.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't heard of that happening yet, but you know,
- 5:11Speaker 3: you never know.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Well, Laura will be thrilled with this news.
- 5:15Speaker 4: Good. I'm sure.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Other ways you can bring on labor naturally though the
- 5:22Speaker 3: issues not in the mood.
- 5:24Speaker 4: There's lots of walking.
- 5:25Speaker 3: You can do curb walking where you walk along the
- 5:28Speaker 3: side the road with one foot on the curb, so
- 5:31Speaker 3: you're hobbling along.
- 5:32Speaker 1: What does that do?
- 5:33Speaker 3: So it moves the baby's head down into the pelvis
- 5:36Speaker 3: and presses on your cervix so softens it and opens
- 5:39Speaker 3: it up.
- 5:39Speaker 4: That can help.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I'm sure she's already waddling right.
- 5:42Speaker 4: I'm sure she is chasing after two little ones already.
- 5:45Speaker 4: There's a lot of walking involved.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Nipple stimulation you might be interested in, and that's just
- 5:51Speaker 3: sex for that, isn't it.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Yeah, if that's evolved in sex, it might help. That
- 5:56Speaker 4: can really suxytocin.
- 5:58Speaker 3: But you do need to be doing it quite often,
- 6:00Speaker 3: like for five minutes a few times a day for
- 6:02Speaker 3: it to actually be effective.
- 6:04Speaker 4: So she might not like that.
- 6:05Speaker 1: She hates me touching nipples at the moment.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Well, that's not gonna work.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Some massage relaxation gets your oxytocin going. Actual pressure or
- 6:19Speaker 3: acupulcture can also work, so a few people around here
- 6:22Speaker 3: that do it. That's one that's known to be the
- 6:26Speaker 3: guru for if you want to go into labor.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Now, what about for Laura Victoria please ignore ash.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Well, so that's probably a good it's a good thing.
- 6:38Speaker 2: It's a good thing me. Okay, massage, got massage.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah, massage and just generally being relaxed, because if you're stressed,
- 6:46Speaker 3: you adrenaline goes up and then that stops your oxytocin being.
- 6:50Speaker 3: So you've basically just gotta be really nice to Laura.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Lots of massages. For massages, you can make her a
- 6:58Speaker 3: nice curry, spicy food can Help's a.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Lot of work.
- 7:00Speaker 2: What about a renovation.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I've noted all this.
- 7:05Speaker 4: She hasn't paid me to say all these.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Mop the floors. We'll bring on.
- 7:12Speaker 2: What you're saying is chaw play brings on labor.
- 7:16Speaker 4: For play. Did you say raw.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Play cleaning the house? We call it choror play.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Yeah, that works.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Whatever makes Laura happy will increase, so amazing, go for it.
- 7:26Speaker 1: That is noted, doctor Bennett. We really appreciate your time.
- 7:30Speaker 4: No problem, and.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Thank you again. We will be in touch with future
- 7:35Speaker 1: medical questions. We don't know what they are, but expecting
- 7:38Speaker 1: many of random phone calls from us.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Lovely thanks guys, Laura.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Well there you go.
- 7:45Speaker 2: It's true. From the horse's mouth it's true. I hope, Laura,
- 7:49Speaker 2: you better get out of here, big guy, take those
- 7:51Speaker 2: pants off.
- 7:52Speaker 1: But when she comes home, she's still working.
- 7:54Speaker 2: That get down the office.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I have a huge shout out to Dr Bennett, specialist
- 7:59Speaker 1: obstetrician and onecologist on the Northern Beaches. And if you
- 8:02Speaker 1: want to find her on social media, she is at
- 8:04Speaker 1: doctor Victoria Bennett, double N, double T. That's it. You
- 8:07Speaker 1: know it. Ash actually still in housekeeping. If I may.
- 8:11Speaker 1: People may be wondering about Rhonda. Okay, I'm gonna whisper
- 8:14Speaker 1: because she's next door. She's probably standing outside my general,
- 8:17Speaker 1: the general. You know what she did?
- 8:20Speaker 2: Oh fuck, what did you do?
- 8:21Speaker 1: You know the skylight incident? If anyone who's new, we
- 8:26Speaker 1: had a big storm. Fence blew over, as did Ronda's.
- 8:29Speaker 1: He lives next to me, by the way, it's my neighbor.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Her skylight blew off. Okay, I was nice enough to
- 8:34Speaker 1: help facillitate one of the builders to fix her roof
- 8:37Speaker 1: because it was straight through rain was coming in. Ok
- 8:41Speaker 1: we've done that. I then saw the builder and I say, hey,
- 8:46Speaker 1: how did you go with Rhonda and getting the money
- 8:48Speaker 1: because she was she said yes to it, but then
- 8:50Speaker 1: kind of forgot that she said yes to it, and
- 8:52Speaker 1: he goes, oh, mate, bloody hell. It was hard. And
- 8:56Speaker 1: I was like, well, what happened? So he knocked on
- 8:58Speaker 1: her door to be like hey, Ronda, like you know,
- 9:00Speaker 1: doesn't have an email. He dropped off the invoice in person.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It's about fourteen hundred bucks, and she's like, yeah, right, eh,
- 9:09Speaker 1: I'll pay you nine hundred. And he's like and he's
- 9:14Speaker 1: like it was already pretty heavily discounted. You know. It
- 9:18Speaker 1: was a big job and there was a new skylight
- 9:20Speaker 1: cover that costs a lot of money. And she goes, yeah,
- 9:23Speaker 1: but your boys didn't clean the skylight and I had
- 9:26Speaker 1: to organize someone to clean it and seat nine hundred,
- 9:29Speaker 1: nine hundred take it. I'll leave it. He was like,
- 9:34Speaker 1: not really rooms to negotiated.
- 9:35Speaker 2: This is not the appropriate time to negotiating, wonder.
- 9:39Speaker 1: And then he was like, fuck, what do I do?
- 9:42Speaker 1: Just it's not worth it. He's like, I'll take an
- 9:43Speaker 1: hundred bucks. So she swimdled the builder out of five
- 9:46Speaker 1: hundred bucks.
- 9:47Speaker 2: She's got you all, she's got you all wrapped around.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Whatever she wants she has she gets and I think,
- 9:54Speaker 2: I look, I'm starting to come around and rondo. Because
- 9:56Speaker 2: her way of doing things, you would have run very similar.
- 10:00Speaker 2: I feel like, I'm like, okay, you don't not nine hundred,
- 10:03Speaker 2: how about eight hundred going the wrong way? Am I not?
- 10:08Speaker 2: For me? I'm not.
- 10:10Speaker 1: She complained about the fence by the way.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Because she complains with the wind.
- 10:15Speaker 1: No, she said. I was like, right, it fences up,
- 10:17Speaker 1: looks great. It's a lap and cap fence, not cheap.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And she goes, oh, it's it's untreated pine. And I'm like, yeah,
- 10:25Speaker 1: keeping in mind she didn't pay a cent. She goes, oh,
- 10:28Speaker 1: you're going to paint it. I said no. She's oh,
- 10:31Speaker 1: that's a shame. That's not the best she's got.
- 10:34Speaker 2: You, man, Now you think about that before you go
- 10:35Speaker 2: to sleep. I'm starting to come around. I'm starting like her.
- 10:43Speaker 2: Does she want to start a podcast? How about you
- 10:47Speaker 2: do it and just put my name on it? Oh?
- 10:51Speaker 2: Very good. I have just a quick little bit of
- 10:53Speaker 2: housekeeping now. I asked our listeners on the Facebook group,
- 10:57Speaker 2: which is thriving right now. I just, you know, Sunday,

- 11:05Speaker 2: the weekend.

- 11:07Speaker 2: I put it onto the Facebook group.

- 11:51Speaker 2: people who are doing the extra which I'm like, how
- 11:55Speaker 2: do you fit that in? And what? Okay? Here's one
- 11:58Speaker 2: from Brodyawn Physio session two dance classes on Saturday followed
- 12:03Speaker 2: by a ballet exam on Sunday.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Ballet exam.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Let's keep this in mind. She started this with firstborn,
- 12:11Speaker 2: so that's just for the one child next one middle
- 12:16Speaker 2: child food shop with me while firstborn did her Saturday classes.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Then I dropped her at a birthday party. Okay, that's
- 12:25Speaker 2: not too bad.
- 12:26Speaker 1: It's manageable.
- 12:26Speaker 2: That's manageable. There's a thirdborn. This is what you're in for.
- 12:30Speaker 2: And this is the same lady, This is the same Brody.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Don't know, Brody, Elizabeth. I don't know if it's Brody.
- 12:36Speaker 2: You raising the bar too, thirdborn birthday party, which my
- 12:40Speaker 2: husband took him on Saturday. It doesn't end. I also
- 12:45Speaker 2: went to a live podcast show Saturday night. So husband
- 12:47Speaker 2: had to wrangle three kids into bed, including one with
- 12:50Speaker 2: a broken colber. So, hang on a minute, you're doing
- 12:53Speaker 2: all this on the weekend. They've got broken bone.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Don't make them dance the ballet exam? Is it the
- 12:59Speaker 1: same lady? Yeah, yes, it's still Brodie.
- 13:01Speaker 2: It's still Brodie. And it's not over. We all went
- 13:04Speaker 2: to the movies on Sunday.
- 13:05Speaker 1: AVO, What the fuck for?
- 13:07Speaker 2: She said, that's the basic gist of it. The basic gist,
- 13:11Speaker 2: the basic gist.
- 13:13Speaker 1: What's the long winded version?
- 13:14Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, how do you do?
- 13:16Speaker 4: How do you?
- 13:16Speaker 2: How do you have the energy?
- 13:18Speaker 1: I'm staring down the barrel right now of enrolling Lola
- 13:21Speaker 1: into a dance class. The only the option is a
- 13:23Speaker 1: Saturday morning at eight thirty, and I'm.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Like, nah, exactly.

- 13:36Speaker 1: don't want a commitment on a Saturday.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I'm not like, I'm happy we didn't do into sport
- 13:42Speaker 2: this year, but next year with Oscar it's a no brainer.
- 13:45Speaker 2: But I think not doing it this year has helped
- 13:47Speaker 2: him develop into what's how he can be next year because.
- 13:51Speaker 1: He's not gone, He's he's now.
- 13:53Speaker 2: He's more decisive of what he wants to do, not
- 13:56Speaker 2: just I want to do it because all be friends
- 13:58Speaker 2: are doing it. That's an impression that was great, And
- 14:03Speaker 2: I'm like, oh fuck, I'm not looking forward to those
- 14:06Speaker 2: because you know what I'm like on a Saturday morning.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Hang over.

- 15:57Speaker 2: its Dedford as too doting dad not needed, Matt and
- 16:00Speaker 2: I should try and get a spot at a rock
- 16:01Speaker 2: of Deedford. And then she said there's an a Stdford

- 16:39Speaker 1: We are still in housekeeping for anyone wondering the last
- 16:42Speaker 1: house I love it. Last bit of housekeeping. This is
- 16:46Speaker 1: from Ella. This was sent in on the Facebook group
- 16:49Speaker 1: and it's a dinner hack. We love a dinner hack
- 16:51Speaker 1: and it's Aldi inspired. She says, we buy the Aldi
- 16:55Speaker 1: cauliflower bake and cook it on the stove for a
- 16:58Speaker 1: quick dinner. Tonight. I also put broccoli in it and
- 17:00Speaker 1: mixed it through delicious and healthy. My kids were watching
- 17:04Speaker 1: me do it and calling it noodles because it was
- 17:06Speaker 1: made in the same pop I make their noodles in
- 17:09Speaker 1: dished up and called it noodles. And they've eaten every
- 17:11Speaker 1: bit of it, including a second serve.
- 17:15Speaker 2: No way, win is a wind.
- 17:17Speaker 1: That's that's like, that's top of the food chain. That
- 17:20Speaker 1: is peak peak wind.
- 17:22Speaker 2: I would say it's should cook everything in that noodle dish.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Yeah, literally breakfast fat for them. But if you have
- 17:28Speaker 1: a dinner hack please, Oh yeah, we want to hear it.
- 17:31Speaker 2: So cauliflower bake with broccoli.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean the kids are very gullible because
- 17:37Speaker 1: I believe anything. But it's a cauliflower bake with broccoli,
- 17:41Speaker 1: but it's noodles.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Have you ever had a Califower bake blake Colifol brand.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Mom used to do a cauliflower Yes, it reminds me.
- 17:53Speaker 3: O.
- 17:53Speaker 1: It reminds me mom used to do a couliflower cheesy bake.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Nice. Yes, all right, at least your mom didn't do
- 18:01Speaker 2: apricot chicken and be strong enough.
- 18:03Speaker 1: I love being struggle off. That is the end of housekeeping. Actually,
- 18:07Speaker 1: speaking of Ellie, Yes, speaking of Ellie, Ash is aware
- 18:12Speaker 1: of the situation. The listener is not. We had her
- 18:16Speaker 1: on a couple of weeks ago off the back of
- 18:18Speaker 1: her shoulder surgery.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Because people thought you were dead.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also made fun of the fact that
- 18:25Speaker 1: we were like, ha ha, nothing's going to stop Ellie
- 18:27Speaker 1: except the shoulder surgery and just maybe the last time
- 18:30Speaker 1: that she's on the podcast, because she's gonna pass. Like
- 18:36Speaker 1: I look back at those directs and my mom was
- 18:38Speaker 1: making them, okay, please stand.
- 18:40Speaker 2: The vandaid off. People think he's dead.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Now she is not. She is okay, but we fuck,
- 18:48Speaker 1: we're close.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
- 18:50Speaker 1: I don't want to freak people out who know my mum,
- 18:53Speaker 1: but we were this is the weekend of Father's Day. Yep,
- 18:58Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks back. We went down to
- 19:00Speaker 1: Alidalla must be nice, thank you, and Mum was still recovering,
- 19:07Speaker 1: you know, and the thursday before mum had been to
- 19:10Speaker 1: the doctor for a checkout post surgery, had stitches out.
- 19:13Speaker 1: He was like, everything looks great, You're doing fine. Mum
- 19:16Speaker 1: felt fine. So when we left, we're like, Mum, are
- 19:18Speaker 1: you sure you're gonna be okay, and she's like, don't
- 19:20Speaker 1: worry about it. I like, everything's good here, no sign
- 19:24Speaker 1: of any type of illness. My sister is only five
- 19:26Speaker 1: minutes down the road. So my sister was like, don't worry,
- 19:29Speaker 1: I'll look after if there's any issues, you know, I'll
- 19:31Speaker 1: be checking it on Mum.
- 19:32Speaker 2: She wouldn't want you to hang you stay around just
- 19:34Speaker 2: because she's given the all clear.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Just yeah, Mum was Mum was kind of like, it'd
- 19:39Speaker 1: be nice to have the house to myself for a
- 19:41Speaker 1: weekend and just be able to relax and recover.
- 19:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 19:44Speaker 1: So we're down at Alidallah. I get a phone call
- 19:48Speaker 1: on Saturday night, must have been about eight o'clock. My
- 19:52Speaker 1: sister is hysterical and she's like, Mum's in trouble and
- 19:59Speaker 1: I was coming well, like, you know, just wait a second,
- 20:02Speaker 1: what's happening? And she goes a called Mom. She can't talk.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Wear are the keys for the house? Because Mum was
- 20:09Speaker 1: obviously at home. My sister was currently en route to
- 20:12Speaker 1: the house. But what had happened is my sister was
- 20:15Speaker 1: at dinner. She had a phone call from Mom. It
- 20:18Speaker 1: was in the middle of a speech at dinner, so
- 20:19Speaker 1: my sister thought, I'll just let that one go through
- 20:21Speaker 1: the keeper, and then she called again. My sister was like,
- 20:24Speaker 1: what the hell Mum. She answered the phone and said,
- 20:27Speaker 1: Mom can't talk right now. There is a speech at dinner.
- 20:29Speaker 1: I'll call you back. My mum replied with help who
- 20:34Speaker 1: what she managed to get out? So my sister then
- 20:36Speaker 1: instantly changed gears and was like, oh, what's wrong. My
- 20:39Speaker 1: Mom couldn't get the words out. She was just mumbling
- 20:42Speaker 1: a few words on the phone. So that's when my
- 20:45Speaker 1: sister called an uber. Her husband called Trippleo. They got
- 20:50Speaker 1: to the house and I was still on the phone
- 20:52Speaker 1: trying to explain where the hidden key was for the
- 20:54Speaker 1: door because the door was locked. And when they got
- 20:57Speaker 1: to Mom, she was breathing. She was non responsive, And
- 21:04Speaker 1: at first I wasn't the phone because I was trying
- 21:07Speaker 1: to speak to my brother in law about where the
- 21:09Speaker 1: key was. You know, my sister's got this blood curdling
- 21:12Speaker 1: scream because they've just the paramedics. They've just seen Mom.
- 21:15Speaker 1: She's in bed, and the way it was all kind
- 21:19Speaker 1: of unfolding. I was getting updates in real time. I
- 21:21Speaker 1: was like, fuck, Mum's had a stroke. Fuck. And so
- 21:26Speaker 1: then I kind of jumped off the phone to let
- 21:28Speaker 1: them deal with the situation. I'm there waiting now just
- 21:32Speaker 1: for my phone to ring, being like, what the hell
- 21:35Speaker 1: is happening?
- 21:36Speaker 2: You're like three hours away?
- 21:37Speaker 1: I'm three hours away. And so then I'm kind of
- 21:40Speaker 1: just in shock. Like one second, Laura and I were
- 21:43Speaker 1: literally about to like we're about to have dinner. I'm
- 21:45Speaker 1: about to have like a glass of wine and be like,
- 21:47Speaker 1: what are we gonna do for Father's Day tomorrow? Next thing,
- 21:50Speaker 1: I'm waiting to try and get any update and what's
- 21:52Speaker 1: happening with mum. They've then got her into the ambulance.
- 21:56Speaker 1: She's on her way to hospital. I'm thinking, fuck, I'm
- 21:59Speaker 1: gonna and again this point, everyone's kind of saying stroke yeah,
- 22:04Speaker 1: because she's not talking. She's still breathing, but she's can
- 22:08Speaker 1: barely get any words out. So then I jump in
- 22:11Speaker 1: the car, I drive back to Sydney. I get to
- 22:14Speaker 1: the emergency room at Saint Vincent at about twelve thirty. Yeah,
- 22:20Speaker 1: and you know, Mum's got all kind of things hooked
- 22:23Speaker 1: up to Her blood pressure was about seventy, her body
- 22:25Speaker 1: temp was almost like thirty three thirty four. Oh, if
- 22:30Speaker 1: anyone who doesn't know. That's really bloody low.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Yeah. Hypothemia, yes, even though it's like two degrees low
- 22:36Speaker 2: where it should be. It makes a massive difference totally.
- 22:39Speaker 1: The doctors, that the nurses, they are all working trying
- 22:42Speaker 1: to find out what this problem is. She's at this point.
- 22:45Speaker 1: The good thing was they ruled out the stroke. She
- 22:47Speaker 1: had an MRI scan of oh god, I don't know
- 22:49Speaker 1: what the proper stroke scan. Yeah, they came back clear.
- 22:54Speaker 1: They have a specialist who works only with stroke patients.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And she then spoken to my sister and said, hey,
- 23:01Speaker 1: we've looked at the test results. It's not a stroke,
- 23:03Speaker 1: which is a great result, but we don't know what
- 23:06Speaker 1: it is. And then also, I don't know if anyone's
- 23:09Speaker 1: been to Saint Vincent's Hospital. It's near the city in
- 23:12Speaker 1: Sydney on a Saturday night. But the nurse was like, hey, mate,
- 23:16Speaker 1: you're coming for a good day. This is gonna be
- 23:18Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And I was like, oh, oh,
- 23:21Speaker 1: there's people on nights out. Someone's been glassed. Police are there,
- 23:27Speaker 1: like it's kicking off. My mom's there like hooked up
- 23:30Speaker 1: to machines. I was like, fucking how it's one in
- 23:32Speaker 1: the morning now.
- 23:33Speaker 2: That's the same place Dad went when he had the
- 23:36Speaker 2: triple bypass last year. So he went because he wasn't
- 23:39Speaker 2: feeling well. He's like bad enough. My sister's like, I'm
- 23:42Speaker 2: taking you to the emergency room. And that's the hospital,
- 23:45Speaker 2: that's the local. And it was a Saturday night and
- 23:48Speaker 2: on Friday night. And Dad was like, oh.
- 23:51Speaker 1: My god, it's like carnage. Oh carnage. It's yeah. The
- 23:57Speaker 1: nurse was like like thumbs up, good day for it.
- 24:00Speaker 1: And I was like, what do you mean.
- 24:01Speaker 2: They just must get some entertainment.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Because it's for the nervouses with the medical stuff. It's
- 24:06Speaker 1: just another down in the office.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, but for you it's like fucking You're
- 24:10Speaker 2: not used to all that sort of not at all,
- 24:11Speaker 2: especially someone being glassed.
- 24:13Speaker 1: But then also I've got in the hospital. I'm looking
- 24:16Speaker 1: at Mom and I'm like holding at hand, and you know,
- 24:19Speaker 1: she can barely open her eyes, hasn't said a word,
- 24:22Speaker 1: but then she looks over, she looks at me, and
- 24:26Speaker 1: I'm like, it's okay, Mom, I love you, And she
- 24:30Speaker 1: opens her eyes and she clocks at it to me,
- 24:33Speaker 1: and then she opens her mouth and she goes I
- 24:36Speaker 1: think the cat got out.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Oh shit, fuck, you really got me with that one.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Oh my god. Wow.
- 24:48Speaker 1: And I'm like, don't worry about the cat, and she's like,
- 24:51Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if the door was shut
- 24:54Speaker 1: behind me, and I'm like totally fine, Like raspberry not important.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Then she like closes her eyes and goes back to sleep,
- 25:00Speaker 1: and I'm like such a mom.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, caring about everything else other than the fact
- 25:06Speaker 2: that she's like really ill.
- 25:08Speaker 1: The washing machine has a load that needs to go out.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Did you take the play out of the other?
- 25:14Speaker 1: Yeah? And the good thing was as every kind of
- 25:18Speaker 1: minute passed, she became more stable. Blood pressure was good,
- 25:21Speaker 1: high right was okay. But then they were just trying
- 25:23Speaker 1: to figure out what had caused this thing. So we
- 25:28Speaker 1: left at about three point thirty in the morning. We're back.
- 25:31Speaker 1: She was still in the r than the Sunday morning,
- 25:34Speaker 1: but then after heaps of tests, was then admitted to hospital.
- 25:38Speaker 1: So you're no longer an er, but you're still in
- 25:40Speaker 1: the hospital, still doing heaps of tests. My sister and
- 25:44Speaker 1: I were kind of tag teaming because they have a
- 25:46Speaker 1: doctor in the morning, a doctor at lunchtime, and then
- 25:49Speaker 1: you know, trying to explain to mom what tests they're doing,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and there's like, oh, yeah, long list, and then if
- 25:54Speaker 1: we would miss that, we'd kind of ask Mom, who's
- 25:56Speaker 1: still not with it one hundred percent, with what are
- 25:59Speaker 1: they testing for? And she's like, oh, I don't know
- 26:01Speaker 1: this raspberry ocame like forget about her. But in the end,
- 26:08Speaker 1: it was some kind of viral infection imagine I forget
- 26:14Speaker 1: the name. It's like gashtro on steroids. And they said
- 26:19Speaker 1: sometimes when it's really severe cases, it comes on very acutely,
- 26:23Speaker 1: which means fast in medical term.
- 26:26Speaker 2: Wow, are you a doctor?
- 26:27Speaker 3: Now?
- 26:28Speaker 1: I think I'm a doctor. That's a final test and yeah,
- 26:32Speaker 1: just it just hit really hard. So Mum was saying
- 26:34Speaker 1: that she had dinner ready. She was actually about to
- 26:37Speaker 1: pour herself a drink. She was like, oh, I've got
- 26:39Speaker 1: to saw a tummy and then she's like that's weird.
- 26:42Speaker 1: She's like, I'm just going to go to the loo quickly,
- 26:44Speaker 1: and she's like really, like it's signed to her. So
- 26:48Speaker 1: she had a lay down in bed for a split second,
- 26:51Speaker 1: and next thing she was like, I can't even get up,
- 26:53Speaker 1: Like wow. She had to muster the strength to get
- 26:56Speaker 1: her phone and managed to just call my sister and
- 27:00Speaker 1: like the really scary thing is if she hadn't been
- 27:04Speaker 1: able to call my sister. When your blood pressure is
- 27:07Speaker 1: that low. Yeah, I this sounds really obvious, but blood
- 27:10Speaker 1: pressure is like a hose, you know, It's like the
- 27:12Speaker 1: amount of pressure goes through. So when it drops really low,
- 27:15Speaker 1: the amount of blood going through your system is super low.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Your body then goes into shock. Your organs shut down.
- 27:21Speaker 1: We want you to come back until the next night.
- 27:23Speaker 1: So it's yeah, really really, really scary. But we're like,
- 27:29Speaker 1: don't I think about it. We're now where we've purchased
- 27:31Speaker 1: mum a watch that has a button that you can
- 27:35Speaker 1: press and it calls a number of people. If those
- 27:38Speaker 1: people don't pick up, it automatically calls triple zero. That's clever,
- 27:41Speaker 1: and then comes straight to the address that you've designated.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Fuck, that's pretty I don't want to say cool.
- 27:47Speaker 1: But that's the technology. They used to have, like big buttons,
- 27:50Speaker 1: and now it's just like a little watch that you wear.
- 27:52Speaker 2: I might get my nan one mate, I know where'd
- 27:55Speaker 2: you get it?
- 27:56Speaker 1: I'll send you link. Yeah, I send to the link.
- 27:58Speaker 2: So how's Ellie?
- 27:59Speaker 1: As of right, she's still I mean, she's still recovering
- 28:02Speaker 1: from the shoulder surgery. She's still weak, but she's doing
- 28:07Speaker 1: a lot better. Oh good, a lot better. And the
- 28:09Speaker 1: annoly thing was, dude, I think I told you when
- 28:12Speaker 1: I left for Alla Dalla on that Friday morning, Laura
- 28:15Speaker 1: was already down there. I was heading down with the
- 28:17Speaker 1: kids and I was racing out the door and you know,
- 28:19Speaker 1: trying to beat the traffic, and my mom tried to
- 28:22Speaker 1: tell me a story as I was like at the
- 28:24Speaker 1: door and I'm my mom, not now, like fuck, you know,
- 28:26Speaker 1: I'll call you later. And then that whole time, I
- 28:29Speaker 1: was thinking, obviously, you can't live your life think that
- 28:31Speaker 1: every conversation is going to be a last with someone.
- 28:33Speaker 1: But at the same time as driving back, like, I
- 28:37Speaker 1: hate that that last moment I had with Mum was
- 28:39Speaker 1: me being frustrated and racing out the door and not
- 28:43Speaker 1: giving her the time that I would normally give her.
- 28:45Speaker 2: And yeah, like, you just don't know what could have
- 28:47Speaker 2: been it. So if that was the last interaction you
- 28:49Speaker 2: had with you, as much as you don't want to
- 28:51Speaker 2: think about that, it's.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Like kills me. Kills me, So it's a it was
- 28:56Speaker 1: a pretty big wake up call.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I'm I'm so sorry I had to go through that.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Every time I leave something happening. Time you leave this,
- 29:07Speaker 2: just as the listeners call your mum, call you dead,
- 29:09Speaker 2: right now, give him a call and say I'm going
- 29:11Speaker 2: to call my mom on the way to the next thing.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Because yeah, you're right. You just don't know what the
- 29:16Speaker 2: last words have ever told you? The last words my
- 29:18Speaker 2: grandfather said to me for he told what did he say?
- 29:21Speaker 2: Get a a schooner? And then I never saw him again?
- 29:24Speaker 2: And you went to go no, because we were going
- 29:26Speaker 2: for lunch. He was in hospital and he was eighty eight.
- 29:28Speaker 1: He didn't even get you didn't get the schooner.
- 29:30Speaker 2: I can't take a schooner into the hospital. It was
- 29:32Speaker 2: the middle of COVID too. So we went down to
- 29:34Speaker 2: have lunch at the like the pub next door to
- 29:36Speaker 2: the hospital out of Westmead and I was like, oh,
- 29:38Speaker 2: I'm going to go down, and he was sort of
- 29:40Speaker 2: with it at that time. He come on and going
- 29:42Speaker 2: and he was like, come here, okay, get us the sconer,
- 29:46Speaker 2: would you. I was like absolutely and left and then
- 29:50Speaker 2: I never saw him again.
- 29:51Speaker 1: It's crazy, isn't it.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Yeah, he did drink thirty schooners a day.
- 29:56Speaker 1: I like that. You just said yes, you didn't argue.
- 29:58Speaker 2: I'm never gonna argue with him, no way. My favorite
- 30:00Speaker 2: person in the world. And uh yeah, but you just
- 30:04Speaker 2: don't know when the last what the last conversation. So
- 30:06Speaker 2: call your mom, call your parents, call your sister, call
- 30:08Speaker 2: your loved ones.
- 30:09Speaker 1: And but as I said, your fault, you went away
- 30:12Speaker 1: and Balley.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Yes, well I know, I know. And I was like
- 30:17Speaker 2: at first when you told me, I was like, oh shit.
- 30:19Speaker 2: And then I didn't realize how serious it was until
- 30:23Speaker 2: we had a conversation the next day, and I was like, fuck. Anyway,
- 30:27Speaker 2: I'm sorry you had to go through that without me.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Thank you, and I'm glad.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Actually, can I say very kind of you to message
- 30:33Speaker 1: mom to see if she was okay? After the fact,
- 30:36Speaker 1: she she came to me and said, oh, she's been
- 30:38Speaker 1: messaging me, and I.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Said, I message her every day. I said to me photos,
- 30:46Speaker 2: she wasn't meant to tell you that we are out
- 30:49Speaker 2: of housekeeping that man, are we?
- 30:51Speaker 1: Are you sure?
- 30:52Speaker 2: Is this? As the cleaners would say, it's a clean sweep?
- 30:57Speaker 1: I never said that.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm back, I'm back in the country. I'm here,
- 31:03Speaker 2: I'm with us in one piece.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Can I just for a second, just for a second,
- 31:10Speaker 1: tell people what you said in the group chat with
- 31:13Speaker 1: myself and Jess and yeah, let's just keep in mind,
- 31:15Speaker 1: you've had a week in Bali on an island, a
- 31:18Speaker 1: tropical island with no kids, enjoying cocktails every afternoon, and
- 31:23Speaker 1: then you come back and you're like, guys, I've had
- 31:25Speaker 1: the cold sweats, the shippers. I wouldn't wish this upon anybody. Yeah,
- 31:31Speaker 1: doing some sympathy. I never expected Jesse holding down.
- 31:35Speaker 2: The reason I said it is because I was moving house,
- 31:38Speaker 2: which we'll get to next week. We'll talking about a.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Moved house with a little rumble in your tummy.
- 31:43Speaker 2: A little parasite in my paten Witherod way, I'm okay
- 31:50Speaker 2: now kind of. I still can't eat.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I'm a medical expert, and there is no parasite inside.
- 31:53Speaker 1: It's in a cute parasite. Very good.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Anyway, before that happened, we did go to Bali. Think
- 32:00Speaker 2: everyone deserves a break.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Weren't you just in La that was for Work't you've
- 32:05Speaker 1: been how many time you've been to Bali this year?
- 32:06Speaker 2: That's the first time. No, I haven't been away with
- 32:09Speaker 2: my wife all year. Okay, have backtrack there, buddy, back
- 32:15Speaker 2: track a little bit.
- 32:15Speaker 1: I would check the history.
- 32:17Speaker 2: You can check with your annual leave history here. I
- 32:21Speaker 2: finished off the block of shooting for this TV show
- 32:24Speaker 2: mid April at the airport, and we went and can
- 32:30Speaker 2: I talk?
- 32:30Speaker 1: Can we get an a can we get one episode
- 32:32Speaker 1: of the podcast without you talking about the TV show?
- 32:35Speaker 2: Okay, take it out, just leave it in, please, I
- 32:38Speaker 2: need this. And April and I got to spend a
- 32:42Speaker 2: much deserved week in Bali without the kids. First trip
- 32:45Speaker 2: away for April without the kids.
- 32:48Speaker 1: She find that well.
- 32:49Speaker 2: And I posed the question to how how how soon
- 32:54Speaker 2: is too soon to start looking at photos on your phone?
- 32:57Speaker 1: I think like the flight out there, literally we hadn't.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Even take it was like lord, But before we got
- 33:06Speaker 2: to that point, something really interesting happened. And we had
- 33:10Speaker 2: mainly just checking baggage because it's hot weather. You don't
- 33:13Speaker 2: he jumpers over there, and I had a board bag.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Still bring one jumper just in case.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just in case.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Said I don't want to ruin anyone's trip to Barley
- 33:24Speaker 1: by them not bringing a jumper.
- 33:25Speaker 2: You're welcome you take one, just in case the aircon
- 33:28Speaker 2: be cold. We're going through security and my bag's come
- 33:32Speaker 2: through fine, and then April's bag gets pulled up, and
- 33:35Speaker 2: I don't know if no, no, this is in Sydney,
- 33:37Speaker 2: which is fine and not just fine on the other end.
- 33:42Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've been to the International
- 33:44Speaker 2: air lately. They've changed the config it's really thrown everybody out,
- 33:48Speaker 2: really throwing the smugglers out. So you used to go
- 33:51Speaker 2: in and it was security, I mean it was immigration
- 33:54Speaker 2: then security. Now it's security immigration, but it's all redone.
- 33:58Speaker 2: It's not. It's actually much better. I will say, there's
- 34:02Speaker 2: nothing you know that line that I would know.
- 34:03Speaker 1: I haven't flown International for such a long.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Went to this year, bro, Remember you missed your fly
- 34:08Speaker 2: you canceled. I don't know whatever. Anyway, this is my
- 34:10Speaker 2: story anyway. So we're in, we go through the security.
- 34:15Speaker 2: My bag's come through fine, and then April's bag gets
- 34:18Speaker 2: pulled up and it goes over to that big metal table.
- 34:20Speaker 2: You know, they've got to big it's like a sterile
- 34:22Speaker 2: surgical table for some reason. They've got gloves on, like
- 34:24Speaker 2: you've got a dead body in your bag or something
- 34:26Speaker 2: like that.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Too soon, bro, with who she's alive though?
- 34:32Speaker 2: For how long? We don't know? Anyway, so they're.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Going through.
- 34:38Speaker 2: Their rubbish. Let me get through it. There rummaging through
- 34:41Speaker 2: April's bags, going like this, and.
- 34:44Speaker 1: You guys have been.
- 34:46Speaker 2: April's been a little nervous. I'm like, what have you done?
- 34:53Speaker 2: And she leans on and she's like, I think it's
- 34:57Speaker 2: my vibrain the pair, Thanks Amy Gerard.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Why did you carry on?
- 35:04Speaker 2: We didn't have check in other than my surfboard. What
- 35:08Speaker 2: what I know? Anyway, put in this surfboard bag. She
- 35:12Speaker 2: didn't want to. I was like, you need to tell
- 35:13Speaker 2: her so that she can find it. We can go
- 35:16Speaker 2: on our merry way. She's like no, so she was
- 35:18Speaker 2: reluctant to tell. So her whole bag sprawled out over
- 35:22Speaker 2: the thing, and the lady looks up and she goes
- 35:24Speaker 2: just trying to find something that keeps popping up. It's
- 35:27Speaker 2: like a circular thing like that the pair, because it's
- 35:30Speaker 2: a particular sex toy. The kids in the car, sorry,
- 35:33Speaker 2: but they'll learn one day. It's a pair, looks like
- 35:36Speaker 2: a pair, and goes, oh yeah, And there's like an
- 35:39Speaker 2: old guy there as well, and it was like, looks
- 35:41Speaker 2: away from him a little bit. It's like it's a
- 35:43Speaker 2: vibrator and the lady was like, oh, okay, no problems anyway.
- 35:50Speaker 2: This she pulls this bag out. It's like a like
- 35:53Speaker 2: a bag. It's stays in like a tie up little
- 35:55Speaker 2: bag thing that comes in lovely, so it's not so virtually. Yeah,
- 35:59Speaker 2: So she opens that. She opens that up and plops
- 36:03Speaker 2: the vibrator on the metal desk, hacks up the bag,
- 36:07Speaker 2: it goes back through security and on the metal table.
- 36:12Speaker 2: It's just aprils vibrate.
- 36:16Speaker 5: At six am in the morning, standing there next to
- 36:21Speaker 5: a blank table, metal surgical table with a pink sex toy.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Like and they're like yeah, and I'm like, just kept.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Gone, but you get to keep the vibrate and I.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Worried that, like maybe she just said that cockpit.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Twice.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Anyway, so we got to keep the vibrator, which is great,
- 36:48Speaker 2: but it was a ver It is so funny.

- 39:03Speaker 2: was like, fuck, So I've had I've click and collected
- 39:07Speaker 2: from another shop and I've actually gone.

- 39:32Speaker 2: She's on a period anyway, No, never mind, that's just
- 39:38Speaker 2: the story for another time. But anyway, it gets worse,
- 39:43Speaker 2: it gets worse than the period or no, we get
- 39:46Speaker 2: to BALI. I've said to April, I've got this, and
- 39:49Speaker 2: she was like taken aback. She's like, that's lovely and
- 39:52Speaker 2: it's beautiful. That's the stuff they do anyway, So we're
- 39:58Speaker 2: going through the week of the whole they having a
- 40:00Speaker 2: great time. It was a bit rainy. I don't know
- 40:02Speaker 2: if he's on the news like it flooded floody. Yeah,
- 40:05Speaker 2: it was on the main We were on a different island,
- 40:08Speaker 2: and I kept getting notifications the lingerie was being delivered
- 40:12Speaker 2: as I was away, all gift boxed and lovely to
- 40:16Speaker 2: the house.
- 40:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 40:17Speaker 2: And my parents, oh god, yep, my parents were at
- 40:21Speaker 2: my house watching my kids. Yeah, And as the days progressed,
- 40:28Speaker 2: the one of them was split up into two orders.
- 40:30Speaker 2: It must have come from a different warehouse. And sometimes
- 40:32Speaker 2: so they've got like three or four orders of lingerie
- 40:35Speaker 2: turn up unannounced for no reason. They're like, ash has
- 40:39Speaker 2: a right anyway, I get home, it's all sat there
- 40:44Speaker 2: and Mum was just.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Like, it's a discrete box.
- 40:46Speaker 2: It's it's it says lounge wear and the brand of
- 40:50Speaker 2: everything all over it. And my mom's just like, oh,
- 40:52Speaker 2: you've got some packages. And I was like, oh yeah,
- 40:54Speaker 2: and I knew they were there. I was bracing myself
- 40:56Speaker 2: because my mom's one of those people who just tells
- 40:58Speaker 2: it how it is, Like she spent thirty minute, it's
- 41:00Speaker 2: one time when I was a kid, telling me what
- 41:01Speaker 2: an orgasm was.
- 41:02Speaker 1: It's like, for fox sake, she's created this monster.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Yeah essentially essentially yeah yeah. And I was like, hey, mama,
- 41:12Speaker 2: may it's good to see how the kids. Trying to
- 41:14Speaker 2: divert any conversations. She was like, so, what have you
- 41:16Speaker 2: been into?
- 41:19Speaker 3: Fuck?
- 41:20Speaker 2: And she was like, seems like a bit much turning
- 41:24Speaker 2: into a bit of a kink. I was like, what's
- 41:28Speaker 2: just like, just be careful. It's a slippery So what
- 41:31Speaker 2: I'm doing slippery slope to what kimsuits apparently, and if
- 41:37Speaker 2: that's what you're into, that is that is not my thing?
- 41:40Speaker 1: Be honest to be brought one.
- 41:42Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, So it's coming from the UK. So that's
- 41:46Speaker 2: how the that's how the Barley trip went. I would
- 41:49Speaker 2: say one other thing. April is terrified of crossing the
- 41:54Speaker 2: road in Barley.
- 41:55Speaker 1: It's scary, it's full on, So she would I would have.
- 41:57Speaker 2: To hold her hand all the time. One time, I
- 42:00Speaker 2: I walked out in front of him. She wasn't watching,
- 42:02Speaker 2: and then she grabbed a Balinese guy's hand thinking it
- 42:05Speaker 2: was me. I mean, the guy freaked out.
- 42:08Speaker 1: He freaked out. He'd be like, well, hellu.
- 42:11Speaker 2: It was a bit of both freak out. And I
- 42:13Speaker 2: was like, you're in the middle of the road.
- 42:15Speaker 1: How did she mistake a Balinese man for you?
- 42:17Speaker 2: She was looking at something and I've stepped out to
- 42:19Speaker 2: walk and I went, let's go. And then the guy
- 42:22Speaker 2: just was the next man in line. That's how quickly
- 42:25Speaker 2: I could be replaced.
- 42:26Speaker 1: That You sometimes when it's busy, like in a shopping
- 42:29Speaker 1: center and you you got to overtake someone and the
- 42:33Speaker 1: kid is in front of you, and the kid thinks
- 42:34Speaker 1: you're the parents. They turn around they're like, say, mom,
- 42:36Speaker 1: I'm this.
- 42:39Speaker 2: That happened to Abel. This little kid started following Avery no,
- 42:43Speaker 2: and then turned around and stopped to look at something,
- 42:45Speaker 2: and then this kid starts hugging the leg. She was like,
- 42:50Speaker 2: fucking kids this and I was like, it's not mine, obviously, no, no.
- 42:56Speaker 2: But anyway, we came back all in one piece. I
- 42:59Speaker 2: did come back and with a stomach parasite, which I
- 43:03Speaker 2: will tell you about next week during because we are
- 43:06Speaker 2: moving house.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Okay, current you are, we're taking How about this? How
- 43:11Speaker 1: about this? This is exciting? Why don't next record? Why
- 43:14Speaker 1: don't we do it from the new house done in
- 43:16Speaker 1: the Northern beachesize we can do a tour, a tour
- 43:21Speaker 1: of the house. Will it be ready in time by
- 43:23Speaker 1: next day? Yeah?
- 43:24Speaker 2: Okay, someone of that is?
- 43:26Speaker 1: Can I help it anyway?
- 43:28Speaker 3: Oh?
- 43:28Speaker 2: Now you ask.
- 43:30Speaker 1: I love it. I can't wait to see the new pad.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 43:33Speaker 1: Normally we would do a segment parents, but this is
- 43:35Speaker 1: a meaty episode. Housekeeping is sucked up so much time
- 43:39Speaker 1: that we're going to park that till next week and
- 43:41Speaker 1: we're just going to have a little look at some
- 43:42Speaker 1: of the questions Matt.
- 43:43Speaker 2: This one is from Charlie. Thank you Charlie for writing this.
- 43:46Speaker 2: How on earth do you juggle two completely different sleeping
- 43:50Speaker 2: routines of a newborn and a toddler. You're about to
- 43:54Speaker 2: go through this, so what's the plan?
- 43:56Speaker 1: Oh shit, Charlie, don't give me this type of anxiety.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Do you know what my biggest fear by having two
- 44:03Speaker 1: kids in the one room would be how hard it
- 44:07Speaker 1: would be to make them go to sleep at the
- 44:08Speaker 1: same time. Like I always thought it would be a
- 44:10Speaker 1: case one was keeping the other one up. But and
- 44:13Speaker 1: the kids are a bit older when they started sharing a room, Like,
- 44:18Speaker 1: I'm not going to put a newborn in with Nyle
- 44:20Speaker 1: and Lola. You know, she's going to have her own
- 44:23Speaker 1: little because that's because I think up until one, fuh,
- 44:26Speaker 1: that's like a little time bomb.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I think like the the night I think
- 44:32Speaker 2: the nighttime routines are a little bit easier if you've got
- 44:35Speaker 2: a baby and a toddler, right because you're all at home.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Maybe the baby can go to bed earlier. Yes, and
- 44:40Speaker 2: it's not a big deal, and like I get to
- 44:42Speaker 2: stay up and it can be a bit like that.
- 44:43Speaker 2: But you know what, like the sleep routine for a
- 44:45Speaker 2: newborn is all day, every day. And then you've got
- 44:49Speaker 2: i'd say, you've got both girls home with you and
- 44:52Speaker 2: Laura and then you guys go to the park and
- 44:55Speaker 2: it's like, okay, well this kid needs to nap.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Yeah, we nap traps, so one of us will stay home.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like if it doesn't, if the baby's
- 45:02Speaker 2: not good at napping in the pram while out, then
- 45:04Speaker 2: you're fucked because it's like you've got to come back.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also kind of think, I mean, I can't.
- 45:11Speaker 1: My memory of the newborn phase is more like I
- 45:14Speaker 1: kind of think of Marley, who was really easy. I'm
- 45:16Speaker 1: trying to think of what it was like with Lola.
- 45:18Speaker 1: I think I've just blocked it out because it was
- 45:19Speaker 1: so awful. Yeah, I love you, Lola, But I think
- 45:23Speaker 1: you can kind of if you create a certain environment
- 45:28Speaker 1: for your newborn to go to sleep in, and it's like,
- 45:31Speaker 1: you know, a quiet, tranquill place, then I think you're
- 45:34Speaker 1: gonna find it really hard to have them fall asleep
- 45:36Speaker 1: when they're not in that little environment that you're set up.
- 45:39Speaker 1: So I kind of think make them sleep wherever.
- 45:43Speaker 2: The best thing go on right when you're out with
- 45:45Speaker 2: a newborn baby is getting them to go to sleep
- 45:48Speaker 2: in a crowd. Yes, because the constant murmur of.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Chatter, it's like in the belly bro there it is.
- 45:55Speaker 2: I think we've answered that question. I think we Good luck, Charlie,
- 46:00Speaker 2: you're up.
- 46:01Speaker 1: This one is from Lim and she wants to know
- 46:03Speaker 1: how much TV is. Okay, all of it for it?
- 46:08Speaker 1: Wait for a two year old, there's not enough all
- 46:11Speaker 1: of it again to them all. Well, she says, I
- 46:13Speaker 1: feel guilty when I turn the Wiggles on YouTube for
- 46:16Speaker 1: my little one to watch. But she absolutely loves it,
- 46:19Speaker 1: don't we all. She does have tantrum sometimes when we
- 46:22Speaker 1: turn it off. The mum guild sinks in when parenting
- 46:24Speaker 1: feels easier with the TV on. I only let her
- 46:27Speaker 1: watch TV on the weekends and hour each day of
- 46:30Speaker 1: the weekend.
- 46:31Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I think you're doing a great job.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Lim Wow, that is that is a plus.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Go easy on yourself.
- 46:38Speaker 1: Also, like an hour.
- 46:40Speaker 2: My kids will watch it for like five hours straight.
- 46:42Speaker 2: There he is, I forget I've got them. I think. Look,
- 46:47Speaker 2: I think if you've got already too.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Busy there on your phone ordering lingerie, guilty, I'm now broke.
- 46:56Speaker 2: I think she's got to I think you've got to die.
- 46:58Speaker 2: If you've already know, I wouldn't be able to tell
- 47:01Speaker 2: you how much TV my kids would watch it in
- 47:04Speaker 2: the week. You know how much time, and you restrict it.
- 47:07Speaker 2: You are fucking far and ahead of a majority of people.
- 47:10Speaker 2: And I don't think. I don't think. I don't think
- 47:14Speaker 2: they're each their own whatever works for you, guys.
- 47:17Speaker 1: But it's so hard because there is no question about it.
- 47:20Speaker 1: It's universal that kids absolutely go benign us for TV
- 47:25Speaker 1: for screen time. It does make it easier, there is
- 47:28Speaker 1: no question about it. And when you're exhausted, when you
- 47:30Speaker 1: need a little break, you put that TV on and
- 47:32Speaker 1: you just know that they're going to be locked in
- 47:35Speaker 1: just for a little bit, just for a little bit.
- 47:37Speaker 2: But also I would say the only thing that I
- 47:39Speaker 2: don't like is that just the individual screen, you know
- 47:43Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Yeah, we've actually did we stop that. We had the
- 47:46Speaker 1: eyepa much better and some like there's actually the iPads
- 47:49Speaker 1: are in the little side table thing here in the
- 47:51Speaker 1: living room and I was cleaning it out and I
- 47:54Speaker 1: put it on the table and Lowlas saw it when
- 47:56Speaker 1: she came home from day. I forgot to put it
- 47:58Speaker 1: back and she was like, and I was like, fucking hell,
- 48:03Speaker 1: had to like try and hide it from her and
- 48:05Speaker 1: she just all night up until through dinner barth time.
- 48:09Speaker 1: Think I just want the iPad.
- 48:10Speaker 2: I get it off of it too. It's crazy and
- 48:12Speaker 2: like because they can't regulate it, they just ride the
- 48:16Speaker 2: emotion they're watching. But I like it. I don't mind
- 48:18Speaker 2: like the TV, for example, Bluie and I've got the
- 48:21Speaker 2: kids table and chair in front, and Macy's playing playto
