  Speaker 3: sounds like strepsil, That's what I was like. Oh that's
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: where the name comes from, is it? But I got
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: from Laura. Laura was sick and she kissed me a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: lot when she was sick. I now I know that
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: it's highly contagious.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You guys kiss.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: So I am now on penicillin. Oh really, which sounds impressive,
• 2:22

• 2:39
  Speaker 3: of not kissing my wife also my kids. I'm like,

  Speaker 3: thirty minutes before a meal. I always forget, and so
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: that I take it after the meal. My guts.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Wow. I was gonna say, when you get hungry, you

  Speaker 1: going to go eat and you're like, oh my god,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I've got thirty more minutes.
• 3:47

  Speaker 3: And then I go, Marley, where's your hat? She goes
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: in my bag. I go, we'll find it for me.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And I then watch her watch her panic and she's

  Speaker 3: like she knows. She's like, oh, as a piece of paper.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: She goes, well, this isn't it, pulls out a piece

  Speaker 1: God, yeah, my Macy's getting batter that. I had to

  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I wash it.

  Speaker 1: Just headlines to be careful. Wash it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: A teacher was like, just a tip. If there's no
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: name on it, just take it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't see anything.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It's free range at all. Last year, Marley lost a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: couple early on and Oscar was gaining hats.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Remember your kids, that's the problem. People like your children.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to leap to the defense of the child.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: All the bags, look the same.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. My mom was like, they need to be different
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: colored bags.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Right to put that, because they're just like blue bag hat,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: blue hat, blue bag.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: In Marley had dance this morning and as she was
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: putting her dance shoes on, I put a pair of
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: school shoes in her bag. And then I was like,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: hang on a second, because I was like, something didn't
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: feel right. They were like the older kid. They were
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: like two sizes too big for a they've.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Got black shoes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I just grabbed it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I put my black shoes in my
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: blue bag along with my blue hat.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Was like, so did everyone else at the same sk oh.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: It is hard.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It is tough. It is tough.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: We're still in housekeeping.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: We're still in housekeeping. Now there is some breaking breaking news,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Mad thank you. It's back. Believe it or not. This
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: seems like real news. Just gonna put that out there.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Parents might age faster or slower based on how many
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: kids they have. So what that tells me is, you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: have more kids than me, you are going to age
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: faster than me.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I agree. The gray hairs right now, they're streaming through
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: gray hairs on my ballsack, gray hairs on my chest,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: gray hairs on the chin. The grays are coming thick
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and fast, and they've come faster since puppies arrived.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got a little salt and pepper in your beer.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: I fucking know idea.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: All right, well that was a compliment. I'm getting grays too,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: according to science, not as rapid as you.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense. I'm not sleeping a
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: lot right now.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're doing bottle feeds in the middle of the night.
• 12:00

  Speaker 3: We'll talk about bottle fitting in another episode. Don't get
• 12:04

  Speaker 3: a dog with two names. You gave a good reaction
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: back in that story because it was funny.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I was expecting us like I thought you were and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Alan Rickman, No.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: No, you aren't. Now. At the start, I thought when
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: we were telling the story, I thought, oh, the dog
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: would be named like Spot. And it's like Alan rick
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: just threw me on and I was like, Oh, that's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: just a funny name to give a dog, because a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: person's name for an animal is funny. But then two
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: months later you find out as a real person who died,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: but still funny.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Should we take a moment just to acknowledge Alan Rickman
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: any incredible work towards the entertainment industry.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: The dog or the person both. Okay, thank you.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: There it is, and that is the end of housekeeping.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: No it's not. Oh fuck, I have one more thing
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: for you, Matt. Let me ask you a question. Yep,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: A dota has demanded to know, and I'm dying to know.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Everyone's dying to know why do you dry brush your teeth? Okay?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know what I'm talking about. Laura
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and Matt spoke about X. Was it?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, X on her podcast.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: On her podcast never heard of it, and I've never
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: heard of it. It's it's nice.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: That she's trying.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Good luck to her.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: It's nice to have a crack good luck to life uncut.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: They need it, they do.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: They really really do. But you admitted that you dry
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: brush your teeth. That means no water involved. Talk me
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: through that really quick. And also I've got to gripe
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: with you about it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know why it started. I think it could
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: be down to the fact that I remember seeing, you
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: know when sitcoms when someone brushes their teeth, they dry brush.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: It's acting that right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: But I was like, what do I do that? And
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to try that one time? And I tried it,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: and I was like, it's not too bad. It makes
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: you work a little bit harder to build up the saliva,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: but I like that. I like having to work with
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: the saliva work for the phone.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: This is getting very sexual.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: But you when you when you do a bit of
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: a pre lube off the tap, I think it's cheating
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: pre lube.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: It's just water b the ky jelly out.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh so now we're talking. Well, even
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: my children, I've I've passed on to them the dry brush.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: It's hereditary, Is it so, Lola? She'll just go straight
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: into it. It's try it. Honestly, you think it's weird, mate,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: it is. I believe in a world of efficiency.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, whoa, hang on, I'm gonna pull you up here.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You gave me ship for brushing my teeth on an aeroplane. Whoa,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and efficiently. I drank the water from the glass ash toothbrush.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: On a flight to Las Vegas two years ago. What
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a time? What a time? I might just add. Ash
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: is in his seat brushing his teeth, dips the toothbrush
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: into a cup of water that it's like half full,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and then like by the end of the brushing of
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: the teeth, I do you want to get up? The
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: cup is just it's white, It has a it has
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: like a head of foam like a beer. And then
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Ash there looks at the cup, looks at me, looks
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: at the person sitting next to us, and then just
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: drinks the cup of water foam and all that my
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: friend is disgusting.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You dry brush? Who knows what's in that mouth? You
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: might as well go down a bottooye beach, scoop up
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: some sand and start brushing your teeth.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I'd let your find out, but I got strep throat.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's an ick. And I'm with Laura on
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: this one.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, that was that was a perfect out. That was

  Speaker 3: you Ash for coming along.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I told you that I couldn't come. I know, thanks
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: for the invite last minute.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: It was. It was.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you remembered your own butt door's birthday.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: I'm honest, smirk on your face.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That it felt so good. Recall this a few episodes ago.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Matt doesn't remember anything.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: You just gonna make jokes at my expense all the
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: time and just expect me to laugh myself.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Is that what we're doing? Is that what this is?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: That's what this is? Okay, okay, thank you. Lola's birthday
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I was invited to last minute.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Sash didn't come because he's a ship friend.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows that's not true. So you that felt good?
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Did it? I needed that?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: So it was last minute. Laura and I we work
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: best to a tie deadline. Just the way we are.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: It's just the way we're wired. The work best is
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: very Also, our thought was that we were going to
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: start school, Lola would get her classroom, and we're kind
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: of kicking all the daycare friends to the curb. We're
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: not going to see them anymore. Goodbye, see you never.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Let's all be honest, let's call it a spade of spade.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: We can all agree those friendships have ended. Yeah, unless
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: they're real tight even so. Wow, So it's time to
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: make new friends, new beginnings. We're starting school. All those
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: kids in her class. There's three classes at the school
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Lola's at, so we thought the kids and Lala's class
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: will invite them all and it's a chance for his
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: friendships to really blossom. So we were waiting to send
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: out the invite until we were given the classroom. Then
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: we had a last minute freak out because someone said, oh,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: the first two weeks they made change the classroom so
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: she may get a new teacher. So then we're like, shit,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: what do we do. We don't want to invite all
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: these kids and they're family and parents, and then all
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, she moves classroom and it's something we
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: just wasted the you in get out, But we decided
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: we didn't invite the school friends. We invited the friends,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: which is where you went back.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say we went back
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: to the preschool friends, like, hey, are you guys available
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: this weekend? Ah, he is back, But you didn't.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: We had We had family friends that you know, the
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: ones we.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Just say close friends, close friends.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: You made the close friends list. Thank you one of
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the only people who didn't come to the party.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: That were before I did.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I gave it a week anyway. Parenting is hard because
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: in the background of your mind, you were conscious that
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: you were organizing events that will become lasting memories for
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: your kids, core memories for years to come. Correct, And
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: at the same time as you trying to make something
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: which is going to be enjoyable and memorable for your child,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: you were also under a lot of stress. Yep, especially
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: when things are left last minute.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Which you do work to a tight deadline.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: And you don't want to let your child know that
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: organizing something which is so enjoyable for them is actually
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: a real pain point for yourself, don't you And the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: cause of a lot of arguments.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I let him know. Do you know how hard I
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: worked on this?
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I may have said, should we get a face painter?
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: She said yes, and I said, great, I'll organize it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Morning of God parties. At one thirty ten thirty, Laura says,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: did you get the face painter?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's the insurance all over again.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: And I said, I said I haven't, and she goes,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that's okay. We've got some games that we can play.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: And I said, well, what games are you going to play?
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: She goes, I got ball games. I said what balls
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: have you got and she's like, I don't know, I'll
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: look upstairs. And I'm like, well, we don't have any
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: balls because we've got lost one. One's flat. And she goes, well,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have to look for the balls if you
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: organize a face painter. And I said, what do you
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: think I'm doing right now? I'm messaging And then I
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: look over. Lola's there in a party dress, being like.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Oh no, she's witnessing it all come crashing down.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Also, she's like, should we get some helium balloons? And
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, that's exactly what I want to do,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: but I'm trying to organize a face painter. Is go
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: to the shops to buy some helium for the party,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: which we don't really need.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: You're digging a big hole here, big guy.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: And so just let's just say we save the day.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, go, how did you say the day?
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Well, at ten thirty, I booked in a face painter
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: on the day off. On the day off, I got lucky.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is very lucky.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: But it was it was a very stressful race to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: the finish line to get everything organized by the one thirty.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: We got there. At one thirty five, we were eight
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: for Lola's birthday party.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Am I not surprised?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: We had a parent message and say, am I at
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: the right place? No one's here, and I'm like coming shortly.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: But it was like, you know, very hot day, very
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: hard to get parking. There was a soccer tournament on
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: on the field where it was East Rugby Club. Great
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: venue for birthdays by the in Rose Bay, but it
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: was it was very, very, very very stressed.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: That's another reason I don't throw birthday parties. One because
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I'm cheap, but two is that it's just so much
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: organizing and like you've got enough on your plate. I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: And Laura and I, you know, we're having a little
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: jabs at each other all morning. We're both very stressed,
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: and then we get to the party and we're.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Like everything's great.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: We're having an awesome time.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we havn't fought all day.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Sell each other in the car.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: You gotta put on that that awkward like you're really
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: nice to each other, but Djen and you're like when
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: we get home, there's.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Not much to a kid's birthday party, but far out
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: organizing that amongst everything else that's going on in your life.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: It's just if anyone can get through organizing a birthday
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: party without fighting at their partner, Kudos to you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Do the venue take care of the food and stuff
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: or do you have to like eat book a spot.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: They took care of the food.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Having to cook just ads an extra not that I've
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ever done.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And then also I was like, do you did you
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: invite Stevens and Sarah And she's like you were going
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: to invite them and I was.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Like, oh my god. And now Stevens Therea's seen all
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: all over your Instagram a nice party. They weren't invited.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: And then she's like, why is an Ash here?
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I had another birthday party, an organized one. Oscar did
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: have a birthday party, shame on you. But Macy was
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: sick with the vomiting. Yeah, how convenient? Yeah, any more
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: excuses you on for me. Speaking of Macy, she's gone
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: back to KINDI, daycare, lot whatever, preschool. Let's say preschool.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: She goes three days a week. And even so, they
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: still have the midday rest time. Like it's like it's
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: not a sleep, it's like they play all morning and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: do their arts and crafts and whatever part of their curriculum,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: whatever you call it. And then in the middle of
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the day they have their rest so that they can
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: play in the afternoon. But they're allowed to bring in
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: something that comforts them.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: What does she bring?
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: So usually she brings in something from bed, but the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: other day she wanted to take something in and I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, that's fine. Look to be honest, I'll
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: show you a little video of little Macie. What have
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you got there? Teddy Sorry, it's heavy. That's the doorstop though.

• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. So she's picked up. It's a teddy doorstop.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: That is very confusing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, so it's it's shaped like a teddy bear,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it's soft like a teddy bear. But at the bottom
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of it is it must be full of sand or
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: something heavy to stop the kid's door from closing in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the middle of its mess, though, and she's picked She's
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: picked it up and gone, I want to take this
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: for comfort. And I didn't really realize until we're walking,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Thought she was looking buff.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's like doing curl and I was like yeah.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, what do you got there? And then
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you turn around. It's a fucking doorstop.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: That's come on, let's c I looked at that even.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's a cute tea.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: And I got to kindy and I said to the lady.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, ma, she's just got a doorstop
• 26:08

  Speaker 1: shaped like a Teddy Bear. And she was like okay,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Like kids do weird things.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Is she still into it?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: No? I think she worked it out. But she was like,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I's back near the door again. She keeps to escape.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: It's really heavy.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this teddy is really heavy.

• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Guys all share the same dry toothbrush too.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: What's what's with the tone? How many classes did you
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: have a primary school?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: At least three?
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're one of the pretty folk. Three classes must
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: be nice.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Not us.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: We had three different toothbrush We had.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: The whole school of one class. That's Upper Brookfield where
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: I went to grade one.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Well, i'm downed Upper Brookfield.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Now it was grade one to four was one class? Really? Yeah,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: it was a very small school. Everyone pretty much like
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: came to school on their cows.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: From the country.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason I'm to say this is because it
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: reminded me of when I would move up grades and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: we had yeah, three or four different classrooms for that year,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and when you would leave to go to the next year,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: they would say, hey, here's like a little slip. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone listens out, they had the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: same thing and little they would be like, hey, you're
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: trying to encourage you to who are your friends you
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: hang out with? And you're like person, yeah, yeah, and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you're like I love this person and like we like
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: right down, like make sure we write down each other,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: thinking that we're all going to be in the same
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: class next year. Separated us all.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Well, that's because I think you were cut from a
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: very different type of class. You're a trouble maker.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: A trouble maker. But anyway, so they separated everyone that year,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and I was like, get what other fuckers they separated
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: us all? They like made different classes for everyone, that
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: separate all these group of boys. But anyway, then the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: end of that year, they tried it again, didn't they.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: We all caught on gave the SWITCHERU. So we put
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: down a couple of friends. So we didn't get found out.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Mind you, is this still on the same class or
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: to sit next week the same class, so you got
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: different you weren't in and saying, oh my god.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Completely separate.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: A hard year.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It was a hard year. But then we thought we'd
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: get the system back. Okay, so we get the little
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: sleep again. We're like, all right, write a couple of
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: names down, friends that we like, but not like that much. Yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: twice the scammers got scammed the next year. The following year,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it was year five, me and every single one of
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: my friends in the same class, and then those couple
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: of random people figured it out. Best year ever. My
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: year five teacher somehow is still at that school, which
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: is wild because that was like forty years ago.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Get it, a grade five?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: A grade five beating the system, beat the system. Yeah,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the disruption in that classroom was fucking unbelievably.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Every day.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were all.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Like, I'm imagine trying to teach you.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've met a couple of my friends, right, think
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: about all those guys that you've met all this and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: it was like can consistent disruption. And then I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: it was halfway through the year they actually split the
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: class up because it was too big.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Oh that is such a fucking lie.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: And then the slips were never used again, and then
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: we debunked the school out of the slips, got it, But.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Also like silly of the teachers to try and use
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: the same trick twice, Like that's on you, guys.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a girl in my class in year
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: four who she was very academic. I wasn't we know
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that as soon as people meet me. Shocker.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I know I can't believe it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I know I can't believe it either. My mom can.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: But like I remember, I was like, I'm going to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: put her name in the sky. I think it was
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: She's lovely. Don't get me wrong, I didn't really know
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: her because she was smart and I was dumb, and
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this will confuse hell. And then
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I kind of thought, now, looking back, I think, if
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a teacher and I get up Ash Wicks's thing
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and it has this person's name on it, and I
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: pick up her thing and it doesn't have my name
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: on it, why would I put them in the same
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: class together.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe they were thinking that Ash is ready to change
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: his ways, he's ready to become a new man, and
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: he's trying to align himself with certain individuals in the
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: class who are really excelling, and they thought this is
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: this is the year of.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Ashwick's fucking jokes on them.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, we have a new family member, two new family members.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: But you're precreating like the speed of light.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: We have Poppy, who's now just gone four months. And
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: then with Poppy, we've recruited another person to join the
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Johnson household.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, the nanny, that nana. We just confusing nanny.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: We decided to hold off putting Poppy in the daycare.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: And we've got a beautiful nanny. She's great. In fact,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: she's too good.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Send him my way, brouh.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: She's you know, I can't afford that. My biggest my
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: biggest fear, the biggest fear is that she's going to
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: leave us.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Oh she is.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: She is incredible. Like Laura's out the door really bloody
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: early in the morning, so you know I'm there, Maley, Lola.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: You know, I normally do a feed with Poppy around
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: like seven o'clock ish, sometimes a little bit later. As
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: soon as she comes in and she's like, let me
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: take the baby.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: What time has she done?
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: She starts at seven forty five, so to help getting
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the kids out the door. So when I take Money
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: and Lord to school, she's there with Poppy.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Ye, Nana can't be trusted.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: She can I even though she's like, I'll take the
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: baby and I'm like a she can barely stand up
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: without falling over. Also, happy birthday and now happy birthday out.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I love her center and text yas I love her
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: dearly did you Yeah? But I feel guilty hanging over
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: my child to the nanny and like it sounds really
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: stupid because that's what she's there for.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: She's there, yeah, look after someone who's walked in off
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the street.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm not enough of a dad when
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I hand over my baby to do it all, to
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: do it all, I mean, and she's very experienced nanny,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Like she's better at parenting than I am. My child
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: as a new born, as a four.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Month it's like having a midwife in the house or whatever.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I just knows what they're doing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: She has She's done this for many many years, so
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: she's just got it dialed. I mean, even like you
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: can't be in folds the towels better than I do.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: We have a way of folding towels, and she has
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: a way of following the towers where they're like they're
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: more compressed fits. She's six step one of our I
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: was like, fuck, I was like, how do you fold
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the towels?
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Next she's going to be making the bed different, the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: pillow arrangement's going to be different, and then you'll be out.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: On the street.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I know. I'm like, this household doesn't need me anymore.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: But I think the hardest part of having a help
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: out that I didn't expect was coming home in the
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: afternoon and when she wraps up, I take Poppy. She
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: now smells like the nanny.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: And it's a part that obviously she's had one on
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: one time during the day with Poppy, so it doesn't
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: really happen in I don't remember having that in daycares.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because obviously you don't know your house smells smell
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: unless you leave for a while and come back.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: And she's not wearing like a really strong perfume. It's
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: a very mild smell. But when I have Poppy on
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: my chest and I'm smelling her, she smells like someone
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: else who's not Laura.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Just like the guilt is Oh, it smacks your heart.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: It's a lovely scent. It's just it's not it's not Laura,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: it's not me.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: And it's funny how your senses pick that up and go.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Oh and for me as soon as I grab my baby.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: It just highlights the fact that I wasn't with her.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: All day, okay, and it makes you feel guilty. You
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: can't be in two places at one you.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Of course, I know that, I know that, we all yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: but it's just the way your brain is wired. It's
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: just it's like it kind of says in the back
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: of your head, like, oh, your child spent more time
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: with someone else that wasn't you. Yeah, but yeah, it's
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a part of parenting and having someone
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: else help with your child. That's surprised me With Marley.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think we put Marley in a daycare until
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: she was like one and a half. And then with
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Poppy it was a little bit harder because you have
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: two kids. So I think, I think, Lola, sorry, you Ski,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: there's someone such a fucking parent thing to do.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: As a middle child.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: I love that middle child.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: It's already start.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Lola is gonna be like, we'll have to delete
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: all evidence podcast, So enjoy it right now, share it
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: with a friend. Sorry, Lola was about one when she
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: started daycare.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah one, I think like one. Same with us.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: And you know, as much as we would love to
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: still have more time with Poppy, it's it's hard. You know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Laura has to go back to work. I'm obviously back
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: at work. We just don't have that luxury with three
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: kids in the mix.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: You're out numbered.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: We're out numbered, and I just think at the moment,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: what weighs heavy on my mind is the fact that
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: when you weigh up the hours at the end of
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: each week, there are certain days where somebody else else
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: has clocked up more ours with my child than I
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: have as a parent, And that, to me, in a
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: simple equation, just makes me feel like I'm being an
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: absent father because I just don't have the hours clocked
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: up like someone else does. And it's not to say
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: that just because you haven't clocked up more ours than
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: someone else, you can't be a present dad or a
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: present mum. But it's just the way that my brain
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: is wide. I don't know if other parents are the same,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: but that is a thought that I'm trying to rub
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: out in my own mind.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: It is just parent guilt, That's what it is. Yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time people can't articulate why they
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: feel guilty. You just articulated so their first step already
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you've acknowledged it anyway. And if someone who didn't care,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and this has been says all the time, didn't care,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even acknowledge it. So the fact that you care
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: means that you'll be more mindful of the time that
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: when you're with her it might be shorter, but it
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: will be a bit deeper and more meaningful.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Let me to make sure I got that correct. And
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: there's my cosh.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Can I squeeze in something really quick? Do you mind?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: That's what she said? But yes, he said, time for
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: this one of it free.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: You say what man, I feel like a paran.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: This is from Kate. Her pear rant is and just
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: for those wondering pair ants is just little gripes that
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: you parents can get off your chest, send it to
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: us and air it out. Give me oxygen. Her paraunt
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: is not being able to discipline other people's kids. It
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: is such a moodkiller. I want to disagree. I think
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: discipline away.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Honestly.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not saying hit the child you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Are Yeah, No, I think it depends on how close
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: you are with that family, you know, Okay, even at
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: the park, bro, Well, this is what I mean. There's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a there's a how close you are, and then how
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: much of a distance. There's a sweet spot.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: What about if a kid is throwing sand in Macy's
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: face in the past.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Fucking punched the fuck out. You throw out a little bit,
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: you grab hold of I grab hold of their parents,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: and I say your kid, no, you don't sand, No.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: You got it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: You've got to say I have no problem and stepping
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: in and saying that's not a kind thing to do.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Put your hand down.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fine with the rant. I do agree that
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: if you're not up to it, like in terms of
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: up to okay, well, I've got my kids. I would
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: hate it if someone was to tell if my kids
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: without saying, hey, your kid's doing this. I get there's different,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: as my wife would say, different strokes for different folks.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Whatever that means.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: If you do, you know where it is a perfect example.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: If you're at the pool, not to reference back, could
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: come back to the pool, but if you're at a
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: resort where there's a pool and lots of kids playing,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: and there are certain boys, yeah, got a little bit older,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: being a bit more rough in the water. That is
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: a hard environment to be. I can't discipline a kid
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: who's over the age of once they're in double digits.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I can't touch them.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't approach them. I I have
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: done it before. I did tell a story or I
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: told that kid to fuck off and remember his and
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: that was the wrong choice of words. But that's just
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: an insight to how my mind works.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Remind me where was it again?
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: He was at a part of the playground and Macy
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: was like six months old, and this kid was throwing
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: it was like a makeshift Jenger set out of like
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: timber and he's throwing them and I did say, hey,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: can you not? And then he threw it again and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, can you stop fucking throwing the timber?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: And he walked back, he went got his dad. His
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: dad came around. He was his massive bikey. He was
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a nightmare. So there is look, things do backfire sometimes. Thankfully,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Macy was six months old and that dad, of his
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: right mind looked at me, looked at Macy went I
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: see what's happening here, and he said to me, Hey,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: you can tell my kid off, just don't use any language.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: And I said, look, I'm really sorry. As you can imagine,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: new Dad. I wasn't. I alwaysl my way out of anything,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: trust me. Anyway, it was all fine, but there's.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Time that comes over and you push them out of
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: I tell my friend's kids off all the time, like
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I am. I am known as scary Uncle Wiggs, especially
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: in the every my space. I think you're allowed to
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: be a bit more like, hey, don't do that, this
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: is my space. But like if a kid is noticeably
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: not listening and playing up and even not listening to
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: mum or whatever, my kid's involved and whatever, and I'll
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: be like, first or I'll be like to my kids, hey,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: don't encourage us any further. And then if it continues,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, hey, don't because you Yeah. Yeah, I'll
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, don't because I don't want Oscar or
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Macie picking up that baby. Can you stop?
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Whenever we hang out together, I always have to say
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: to my kids the moment before they come in contact
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: with you, just remember we're about to see big scary
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: uncle ash and at any moment he may explode. So
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: just when he says something and he's getting frustrated.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Run, oh, you couldn't have described me any better. All
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: right here he is, Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, I'm going
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: to go back to there's a sweet spot. Okay, there
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: is a sweet spot. And if you feel comfortable and
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: it's like you did it where it's like, hey, don't
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: do that. Fine. If it's a complete random kid and
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: they're a shithead, mouth off as much as you like,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, it's your word
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: against theirs.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: As long as the parent is not a bikey.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But to check out big big and tattooed. Their
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: parents are.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: First as quick question, quick question. We're calling this now
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Doda dilemmas.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, yeah, just when I thought this
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: show couldn't get any better.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Previously called listener questions.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: That was real.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Creative a long time.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, a new age of two doting dances upon us.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: First one from someone in the Facebook group, and they
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: are wanting to know when you're playing games, will your
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: kid could be spork be any other game? Do you
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: let them win or do you say stuffer? I'm on
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: the victory myself.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: You gotta find a balance.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: I was bowling with the kids recently, and I wasn't
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: trying to win, but I was ahead of Lola by
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: a few points. There was about three rounds to go
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: in ten pin bowling, and I thought I could tell
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: she really wanted to win. And I was thinking to myself,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: do I throw a couple of gutter balls because the
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: kids would have the gutters come up for me? No gutters?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, don't want to, but I don't know, atta guy.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: They came out right, no bumpers.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: And I thought to myself, what do I do? Do
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: I teach my child an important life lesson in that
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: you don't always win, yes? Or do I give her
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: the victory?
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: He gave it to her, didn't.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: I accidentally bowld a strike, oh.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who followed by another strike.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: And she was very, very very upset. And the thing is,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: you try and teaching this important life lesson, but then
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: you've got to deal with the aftermath. You know, you're
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: talking half an hour of wining, like I've just forked.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Out all rub it in the lesson. I think it
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: can't be that they're gonna lose every time, you're right,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: especially if they're putting in hard work. But also as well,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: they can't win every time. Like I always say to Oscar,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: you can win everything, but be a good winner about it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: So like, for example, if he beats you still be like, hey, good,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: that was a good game, right. I think that's really important,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: especially when you're playing team sports and you aren't in
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: control of everything and you're not gonna win everything all
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: the time. Like you can try your best as long
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: as you try your best. But then at the same time,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think that letting them win everything is good
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: as well, because if they go out to school and
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh yeah, I always win. Like at the
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: moment Oscar and I play, you know, the game horse
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: right where you shoot from a spot with basketball and
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you get the letters ours is called pooh because one
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: they think it's funny and two it's way shorter.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Easy to spell.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: It's way and Oscar loves he loves just saying you're
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: a poo at the end of it. Great bit of fun,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: but it's a lower hoop and whatever like that, And
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I let him win a couple I win, and we
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: try and keep it as even as possible. Sometimes I'm
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: just on. But then we went to a park that
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: had a basketball hoop that's regulation high.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: And you actually fucking dominated.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: I was dunking on that boy. No, but he was like,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, this is easy, and bragg into his mates
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And then I didn't say anything.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: You take your shirt off and you're like left dance.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't say anything because I thought, you're not strong
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: enough to reach that hoop with the ball, young boy,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm not going to tell you that. I'm gonna
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: let you figure it out.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: It's resilience building.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And he was hitting the rim, hitting the rim
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: from the bottom because he's saying he's like four foot
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: and the hoop's like seven and a half feet or whatever.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And I said to him, hey, you can't be walking
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: around here thinking you're dominating. I think that's even worse
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: because if they're going and winning everything their whole lives
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: because your parents, your parents have let them win, then like,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: how are they going to build any resistance? How are
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: they going to act when they go out and get
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: flogged by someone, which happens.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Do you remember when I said this would be a
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: quick one.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think I fucking listened. I got that.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you win this one, all right,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: But I think no, I think no, I think you've
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: got to find a balance.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: You've made your point.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: What okay, I got one as well for you. We
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: just had like a really rainy Sunday. So this is
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a good one. Actually, What family movies left you traumatized
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: as a child.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: The first one that sticks out. And I blame my
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: older sister for this. Shout out to Kate, who is listening.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Do you remember my girl? No? What my girl? It's
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Macaulay Culkin. He plays a little boy.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: That's home alone. Bro also rip to the mum and
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: home alone died.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Thank you home, I mean.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: My girl gotcha.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: It is a beautiful story of a young boy a
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: young girl. It's a love story essentially, but the young
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: children and tragically the boy dies. He's allergic to bees, okay,
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: And then they have this open casket funeral in the house.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, and.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: He's had you can see literally open casket. He's got
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: bee stings all over his face. And then the girl
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: runs up to the coffin and she's saying, he can't see.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have his glasses. Because he wears glasses.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: It's horrific.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: What is it with?
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: And it's a kid's film. I remember watching it with
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: my sister being like, ha ha, I.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Know what, Like, there's so much death in these old movies. Look,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: we were watching The Emperor's New Groove with the kids,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that's a fun line. Hu.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: She tries to kill the Emperor and then they're like,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: look at these peasants wish they're trying to kill you.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: It's like, what the fuck? Like, Oh my god, is
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: the Grooves?
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: It's that old?
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: It's how old?
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're talking like animation, like a late nineties to
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: early two thousands animation before Toy Story and stuff like
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: that really like took stride and became more three D.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to two D stuff. One that really like
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: stands out for me that I can recall is Bambi.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: What happens to Bambi?
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: From what I recall, there's a bush fire and the
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: mum of this baby deer dies. Okay, she does.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: She gets burnt, she gets burned alive.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Do you hear? I can steal her screaming? No, there's that. Okay,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: So let's just recall really quick. Bambi, there's a bushfire,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the mum dice, traumatic lion king, there's a stampede. Of course,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Scar pushes the dad off. He murders the dad on
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: a children's film in front of all the children. The brother.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I can't even watch it. I'm in my thirties, the brother.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: So can you imagine your uncle murdering your dad? That's
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: pretty much what's happened.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Of you, and not just you know, you're falling from
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: a great height. You were then trampled to death by
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: other animals.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but then he also after that, he forces his
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: nephew to run away. It's a child, so it's horrific.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: How did I no wonder I've got a fear of abandonment, like,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: for God's sake, how would I know? Like as a
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: child watching that, I think that's just normal. Granted it
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: is animation and the lions.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Did you watch the lamb before time?
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. And I don't know
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: the details of that, but I know the mom dies.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Let me just littlefoot, okay. I think they're like a
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: diplodocus long neck dinosaur. Herb before the one was like
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: a penis.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, go go on.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: So littlefoot. They're walking along what comes along t rex.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: But the mom is so brave that she fights, fights
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: to the death to save her little child. She then
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: gets the t rex, she beats him, but then she
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: is so badly hurt that she is no longer able
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: to continue. And then the mom's last words are to
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: her child as she is taking her last breath, remember
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: the way to the hidden valley, and she's saying like, Mum, please.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: And then she slowly passes away, and then.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: She then dies.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: I can't. Even now, as a man in his forties,
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: we're living that moment. It's bringing me to tears.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Oh I know the bush fire from Bambi is burned
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: in the back of my head.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Literally choice of words, ask come on, and also like, honey,
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: I shrunk the kids.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I was so worried I was going
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to be shrunk everywhere I went. I'm like, Dad, get
