• 7:00
  Speaker 1: special guest so that all the kids came in and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: he didn't know we were there. I've never seen him
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: so well behave he's an impostor. He didn't know he was.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: He didn't know we were going to be there to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: watch him get presented. He didn't tell him no, because
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: we did through because he has to get up. They said, look,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they said, sorry, sorry you guys, if you'd let me
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: finish a story, we would know. So okay. So they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: all came in really nicely.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It was great, really well behaved kids, and then they
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: would present from each class, and of course when they
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: started to present, they were like, okay, and this person
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and this person, and then everyone would clap, and of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: course the principal was like, what.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Don't we just say about claps till the end? Smart? Smart?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the Oscar's name gets called up and he
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: walks up and he's got up, confident, straight upstairs, shaking
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: hands like he's president being elected.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And then they took this big group photo and everyone
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: was like, they give the a little src pins that
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: go on your shirt. It's really cute, and everyone else
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is sitting there like He's like, and I wish I
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: could show your photo, but they're all in school uniform
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: not allowed to. And Oscar was just like, instead of
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: facing the camera, he's decided to go forty five degrees
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: this way and face where he was sitted because he
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: was obviously so nervous, and he was like, I'm just
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: going to stand and while they take a post, stare
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: at where I really want to be, and the photos,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: if you can picture, it is everyone everyone front on
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and then Oscar's just like something's got his attention.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I was like April.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I was like, April film, the whole thing is great,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but I was like, to April, what's he staring at?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Then I realized there's a big blank spot on the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: ground where he was sitting, and he was like, I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: just want to be back there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: You can just and then they were like, okay, now
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we're going to do They sung the national anthem. Does
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: he know the words? No?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And he can't read because I was like, if you
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: don't know the word, the words are up on the wall,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: and he's like, oh god, He's like, I'm just looking
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: at where all sitting.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking at that. And I don't know if
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you remember his school assembly when you you can't read,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: your dad will help you sing. I don't know if
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you remember.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Like with school assemblies, they're all about like inclusive. Everyone's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: singing and a teacher gets up and sort of conducts
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and helps and they're all about that sort of thing. Anyway,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So the music started and the national anthem started and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I started to get flashbacks and remember last time we
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: went to a school thing there, because it was like,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I haven't been back here for twenty two years, very
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: nostalgia bit.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Of PTSD started to get some flashbacks.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Now I'm sitting there and everyone's singing the national anthem beautifully,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and it reminded me of a simpler time when I
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: was going to that school. And I specifically remember in
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: year four I was in class and do you remember
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the quantus ad?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yes? Did the quiet? How does the song go? I've
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: been to city still get into that part, but I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: just thought, like for nything anyway? So the remember that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: rushed me along the song? Sorry, GoGet continue, No you continue? No? Yeah, yeah,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: are still cold Australia. For anyone who doesn't know the song,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: can't tell from us singing, We'll give you a little
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: taste here. You're welcome. So year four, Yes, young Ash,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: sprightly young sprightly Ash, we're in class.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And what they would do is these the people who
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: picked though kids for those ads, would go to schools
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and actually hand select hands select kids, right, which is
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: pretty cool.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Sounds like very p word if you know what I'm saying,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: go to schools. What do you what's your job? I
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: go to schools and I pick out the kids that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I want. So fun is anyway? So I remember this
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: particular day they came to our class. Are this is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the serious serious anyway?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So what you do is they go, okay, we'll explain
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: what's happening. They obviously play the song. We all know
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the song, and then the cold class stands up, belt
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: it out and belts the song with the music apps
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and these judges do the do the lap around the classroom?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Was this actually like the it's already been filmed, like yeah, yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: we're where TV producers. It was your best kids? Yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I think they because it was such a successful campaign.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I think they wanted to continue continue the legacy. Very
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: good word, the quantas legacy. The judges it's called them,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: not the pedophiles. The judges walk around the class to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: hear everybody singing. And anyway, I'm how old am I ten?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And I'm belting this out like like.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: The chance for me? Did you know what was at stake?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Did you know I was would be potentially be on
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the ad? But did you know that? Yeah? You were?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: You were told that you told this. This is your
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: fucking moment. Kids, don't stuff this up. This is before
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: reality TV. This is like the realest, this is like,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: this is really the voice. Yes, but they can see you.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So if you're like a pathetic looking kid, this is idyle.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: This is this is kids idol, but a group performance. Anyway,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So they're walking around there, taken little notes like who's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: who and blah blah blah blah blah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: They get by my section of the room anyway. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: remember they circled and circle back and I was like, oh,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: this is this is pretty good, I must be pretty good.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And then one of them leans and I remember.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: It because this is why I got PTSD. One of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: them leans over to the other one was like, don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: bother going over there, But he didn't think that I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: could hear him. No, I wouldn't fucking waste your time
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: in that back corner.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Oh my little kid's no good. That's exactly what happened.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And it was like, I remember, I was just trying
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: so hard. I was traumatized. I was and I had
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: forgotten about this memory. I have suppressed this memory so
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: much so that it only came back to me when
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: everyone was in this school was singing the national anthem
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: and I was like, holy shit, and I was like.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: April looked at me, She's like, are you okay. I'm like, no,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not okay, Like I remember just crying my eyes
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: as a kid. I don't think anyone from my class
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: got picked.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: So I was thankful because if like someone like next
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to me got picked, I would have been like.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Things sounded bad. Not me, but I know now very good.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Can I just say thank you for the record, You're
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a very good scener, very good as a stretch. Thank
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you for trying to make me feel better. I said
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to people. I was like, I can't be here anymore. Literally,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, can we go? And she was like no.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I was like I was sweating. I was like, oh
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: my god.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Anyway, so we eventually like went outside and Oscar came out.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: We got a photo. It was like, because it's not
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: about me, it's about him. And he did really well
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and then yeah, booked in a therapy appointment for Monday.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: How was he when you saw him? Oh, he was pumped,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it was palmmed. His dad was crying. But I have
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: not for different reasons.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Shaking in the corner, I know, you're trying to tell
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: April that story the other day.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: She was like the full story. She was like, Oh
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: my god, isn't it weird the things that happened as
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a kid that just become the core memories that you suppressed, suppressed,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: suppressed to press.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It was like when I really like this girl and
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: we're playing sports and we head buttered at each other,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: and I remembered it like twenty years later, and I
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's like I'm so embarrassing, very embarrassing
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that he's embarrassing Becky. Sorry, Becky, did you not want
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to tell Oscar that you're going to be there because
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: he might be nervous. Yes, it's like swimming lessons, for example,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I have to like pretend like I'm leaving because I'm
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in the room. Then they went on the water because
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: they want to be with me.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like it was my I just didn't we didn't
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: want to put in restaurant.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I very good parents. It didn't last very
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: long because blood Lenny, because you're crying, and Lenny spotted
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: me immediately.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: He was looking for his parents, and I like that
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they're not here because they didn't really understand.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But then like Oscar, they're not here. They're not here.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They're not here all the time like you. Maybe next
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: time they'll be here. But yeah, he's a representative for
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the whole year. Wow. Wow, this is mate. This is
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a taste of what's going to happen in the future,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: future Prime Minister. Very proud, proud dad. I also had
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a moment where I was a very proud parent. Ash
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: go on, I'm listening. Okay, it's a bunch of proud
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: parents over here, are we just I'm just bursting with
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: pride and I can see that's what that is seeping
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: out of me. Very similar to when you're angry. So
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: what to expect? We like, we've had We've had an
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: ordeal with an ordeal well, you know, just backstory for
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: those who haven't been following. Decided to move daycares for Lola.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: She's at the new daycare, which is a great daycare. Okay,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: very good daycare. And then I sold the dream. Okay,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I sold the dream that she was going to that
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: daycare because her cousin was in the same class. Chas mcgaz,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: what up shares Shas mcgas one of the best After
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: look like when I'm in the jungle, I kind of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: realized they have different groups depending on the age. Oh
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: so now Lola colored in the three to four. It's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: our animal names, O animal names? Yeah, where I got colors?
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: What color are you guys? I think Macy's blue room
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: right now? Their next jues is in green room. Right,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: we were in the wallabyes sounds exciting, it's fucking boring.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: And you're over here going we've got wallabies and koalas.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Any non parent must be listening and going like, what
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the fuck are these guys going? I get a live.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'm trying. How can I get alive? I canna look
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: after like four other lives? So so in the wrong
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: age group because the plan was ash that Lola wasn't
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: going to go to school next year. We're going to
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: keep her. But she's a fed baby, right, She's a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: fucking fed baby. This is the most the most stressful
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: part of parenting is what to do about school? When
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: does school start? You should have thought it out that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: before you conceive. I know, I know, fed fed births. Yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: it's like on the cast, what do you do? What
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: do you? And also so hard because how she is
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: right now? I don't know how much she'll change in
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: twelve months time. Yeah, she may stay the same. She
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: might be the same, she might be exactly the same. Well,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: she might be a genius. She might be like playing
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Beethoven on piano. You just don't know. That's the whole
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's the whole thing about prank. You know what
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be like. But you have to make the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: decision now right now. They're like, what do you want
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: to do? And I'm like, I don't know. Can I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: just decide tomorrow? And they land hot. Fuck, it's really hard.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: So so also even harder to make the decision because
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: she's struggling. She hates it there. She's not her best self.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: She's not. So we made the decision ash to send
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Lola to school slash KINDI next year. I think it's
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the right call. I think it's the right call because
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Marley Marley's mid year, so that's confusing in its own
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: You could go either way, but I think we should
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: be five next year, to be five next year, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: she's not a small five year old. She's not a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: small she's the ninety eighth per center for her head.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I know she's big right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just pointing that out. But big head, big brain,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: there you go. See how I recovered the good very good.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: But I think it's right. I think she's ready. I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: think she's way more. She's pretty reckless, but I think
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: she's more. Yeah, whenever you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Say someone did something, I know exactly who it is
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: because it's Lola.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: You're like, what's that burn on your arm? And I'm like,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: who do you think did it? She's also very clever.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: She knows how to gaslight people. She's gonna be fine,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: thank you. I think I think it's the right call.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: What's the call on the rest of this year? Though?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Because she's so so luckily luckily, I kind of said
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to the daycare direct I was like, can you squeeze
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: her up into the into the top class because they
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: have the class that's specific for transitioning to pre scoops.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: How did you ask? Though? Did your email? Did you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: get down there with a little button up shirt button?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Laura sent the email. Laura sent the email, and then
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I did the follow up face to face. We hit
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it with both parents. Too prong. I call that the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: too prong Yeah, the too wrong email face to face?
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But did you button up shirt, button aways, naked. Good.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: This is like, oh nice, she's gone straight up. So
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: we got her in there. A little bit tricky so
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: far rules ash for that class. There's rules you cannot
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: but that's going to be good for her. It's important boundaries,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: sign boundaries. You can't bring coloring in books, pencils, can't
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: bring the toys. As we know from the other week,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: there's a lot that you can't do. So Lola was
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: very excited. We're one day in and she's already like,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: what the fuck is this? Where have you sent me?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: What is this hell? Hole? Like put her in hole?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: So she she's been what one day now or two days?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: What's going on? This is their second day? Okay, so
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: how did the first day overall? How did the first get?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Like the drop? It was it better? She was excited.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: We sold it in and you gotta like, you gotta
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: sell it in as a dream. You're like, this is
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a great thing. You're so lucky to be in the top.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You've got to sell it like you're a desperate real
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: estate agent. Yeah. Do you know how many people have
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: tried to get into that classroom and we finally got you?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Unheard of how do we do it? I don't know.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: And this kindergarten is north facing. Think about the sea breeze.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. It's got great bones, so much
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: potential and investors. She's like, what the fuck are you
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: talking about? A grantic light out of the back. She's like,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: are you is? What? What am I doing? So? Yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: so far, it's it's hard, very hard, very hard at
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the moment. Also, poor little Lola, she's been moved daycares,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: had like two months in one room, yanked her out,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: put her in another room, and I'm like, you're in
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: here now. She was like a navy kid and they
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: get moved from station to station. Oh god, she'll say
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it all, will she probably not, but also just gonna
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: say I'm gonna say it. Okay, I'm just going to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: say it save a lot of money by not going
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: to daycare.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Oh no shit, no shit, Like it's a it's up
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: there in the top five complaint for parents because it's
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: not cheap.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: And you're like, this is the thing I find that
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that daycare is. You need to do it so you
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: can go to work, But it takes up all your
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: money that you're going away. It's so counter productive. It's stupid.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Do you know who does it? Well, I'm just gonna
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: go on a little tangent here, just very very quickly
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: with you. I'll ride this tangent horse with you into
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the dark. The French have done a lot of things, right, Okay,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Mcuel Macwellen is Aron Miguel MacLaren. That's it. There you go,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I did it. Who is he? He's the Prime Minister,

• 23:31
  Speaker 1: stupid frog, no snails, babe frogs. All of the daycares
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: in France. France, they're all subsidized. Ue it's cheap ass subsidize.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: It's cheap as It's like it's like twenty euros a day.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: But I made that up. It's cheap. A friend of mine,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I lived in London for four years. Shut up. He
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: now he's moved to France because it's cheaper. But there's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a language barrier. He doesn't speak French, but his kids
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: speak French. They're not your kids, dude. What Yeah, dude,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying we don't need to pull the trigger,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: but we should consider moving to France. I mean ash yep.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Quick question I just need your thoughts on a matter,

  Speaker 1: I am a dad. When in reality my flight was
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: booked for five Okay. I brought the time forward a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: couple of hours because I just wanted to have a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: little bit of time at the airport by myself. I
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: feel lots of food options they self so be it
• 25:18

  Speaker 1: with your family because you missed them so much? Yes
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I was, Yeah, yes I was, But that was weeks ago.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: It's all about balance. I needed a break, and so
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I was at the airport for a few hours. Yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: just by myself. Oh lovely, isn't it. You're not a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: bad person. Laura doesn't know that, and she doesn't listen
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: to this podcast, so she won't know. Yeah. I want
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to say, that's a parenting hack. I'm gonna tell her.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Fuck you. All right, look guilty, I've done this. What
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: have you got?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: So I went to their one. Yes, I had a
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: flight a Saturday afternoon. I did tell April it was
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: at two o'clock.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Was the actual time three thirty? But go on? I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, I told her a time that I
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: was going to leave a couple of more time.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, I got it, Okay, I better go
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: this time. It's much further for me to go to
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the airport.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, ashfy, one's not till next week, and you're like, sya,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: gotta go.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And then I think I was maybe half an hour
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: from the time I was going to have to leave.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I pulled another swifty.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I said, I best go at the traffic is really bad,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the kids are a been a bit difficult.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: We're going to get canceled. For this, I can feel it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: It feels good to get it out. Its good. Up
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: until now, I've been living this life of sin. It
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: feels good to get it out, though, isn't it. Oh? Yeah?
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: And then I got to the airport, I had another lie.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: What have you done?
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: I had something to eat as I did drink, and
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: then I went on my way. But on the way
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: back my flight was delayed.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, you told me it was delayed by like
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: two hours. You message it like midnight, and you're like,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I finally got home. Yeah, were you just sitting in
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the driveway and it wasn't The flight was delayed? Okay,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: that's not the lie. How long was it delayed for
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: two hours? It was real.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: It was after I popped the tie in front of it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: It was two hours.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: But I rang April and I said, look, the flight
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: is delayed.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: The lie on this end is that I was upset
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: about it. How did you sell it? I was like,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: can you fucking believe this?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And then I doubled down on it by saying it's
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: going to ruin me for the traffic on the way home.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I was like, with beer in hand, no, this
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: is on the way home. The last thing I wanted
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: was a beer, I tell you that much. I was
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: like for two hours to sit watch TV on my
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: phone pretty much, or I could have flown home and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: then done the school pickup, spent the afternoon wrangling some
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: kids that haven't slept and whatever. So I look, it
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: was annoying, but not for me, And speaking of lies,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I feel good speaking of life about this. We're not
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the only people lying in this world. At there is plenty.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fine, she won't listen. But there's plenty
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: of lies being told, not just by us but other parents.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for tell me loud, tell me love.

• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Can I just say one thing that may blow your mind.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: On the age that you turn it's the end of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the year. So when you turn one, you're finishing that age, yeah,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: because you turn two, you're starting to Because if you're
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you turn one, you turn one on your birthday, you've
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: just completed that age. You completed one. So when you
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: turn two, you completed too. You've already completed two. Because
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: but that your age is the age that you've completed,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: not the age that you're turning.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we talk about it like this. We say
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: one and a half, right, not two months pre two.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: So really you're completing one, right, That's what I just
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: said when you turn two, when you turn two, because
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: then you would be two and a half two and
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: three months, you're still in two. You haven't completed too
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: if the number two, So.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Then but think about it, right, think about it. When
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: you're born, right, you're born zero, Yeah, but then you
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: turn one, you turn one, you've already done a year.

  Speaker 1: It's a little bit different, a little bit unique. Many
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: steps involved. Parents have reached out on our Instagram account.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: So the parents have reached out via our Instagram account
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: with some of the behaviors of their own children when
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it comes to bedtime, and that Instagram account is what
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: At Two Doting Dads, we will read out some of
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the bedtime routines from other parents listening to this podcast.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: This one is sam Ash and she says our oldest
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: will sleep on the floor while the youngest wind's down.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Both beds are in the same room. How's that the
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: oldest will sleep on the floor that doesn't go for
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: his bed. I'm guessing it to a heat because sounds
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: like a boy problem.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Well, the other one winds down or in bed? Yeah, okay, wait,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: just anywhere on the floor.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Sam, if you're listening to this, please
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: give us more information. I don't know where on the floor. Okay,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: all right, but weird either way. Well, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Sam Kids are weird. We get said about our own kids.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: We can't say that about the listeners kids. Okay, okay,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: that's great that your kid's not weird. Sorry, guys, Okay.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: This one's from Ashley.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: We have to go outside to see them. It's an
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: excuse to use his little moa versure.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good from She has five songs that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: they have to play in a certain order or they'll
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: get yelled at. Having a kid is like having a
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: really bad boss. All right. This one's from Emma.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: My daughter violently shakes her head from side to side
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: until she falls asleep.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: She's done this since she was a newborn. You have
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a friend who did they get tested? No, but she
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: got kicked out of dance class. There's something yarn on there.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I know you have lots to look forward to, Nol.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I have long acrylic nails. I have to do scratchees
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: on his back until he's comatose. That's gonna he's going
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to grow into a weird kink. That's true. That's not
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: even a joke. That's a concern. I love a good
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: scratchy exhibit.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: A Ellie's like I used to do that when you're
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: a kid, Now you're freak.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Sometimes there's me in a moment where I've been sitting
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: on the couch and my mom has been like, do
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: you a little scratchy? And I'm like yes please, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: La and Laura has come in and I'm like getting
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: my hair tickled by my mum. As I'm a thirty
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: seven year old man on the couch.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: And hates j what's a head job? John says? Three
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: year old gets too? These are ridiculous gets two sleep
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: token songs to head bang two before bed as the
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: time of his life.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: We're our own worst enemy and we let him get
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: away with this ship. And his parents were like, why
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: wouldn't they sleep? Question question for you, Ash. This is
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: off the back of taking some flights with the family.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Also off the back of something I saw on TikTok
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: an Amish family on an aeroplane. What is the right
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: seating configuration for a family of four on a domestic flight?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Domestic flight?
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: So we're talking three and three, OK, just running through it,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: not a rex and it's like two and two now.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: They have gone to liquidation. So he's the right word. Mom,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: two parents, two kids, two parents, and let's say the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: kids age between like two and six, so they have
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: their own seats because pre two they don't get a seat. Correct,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: that's pretty straightforward. What is what is the right answer? Here? Ash?
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: The right answer? How do you in April fly? The
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: window seat is the child windows yep. The middle seat
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: is another child. There's two children, yep, these basic maths.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The third seat is one parent. Yeah, I'm not liking this,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: but go on. And then there's a fourth seat, which
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: is across the aisle is the other parent. What is
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: that wrong? You? Did you even draw it? No? I
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: get it, it's wrong. Okay, we want it's wrong? Is
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: that what we should go? Go? Okay, go the way
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I fly? Ash? The way I fly seems to be
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: a lot, which this is the best way you go?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Window child, Yeah, okay, that's okay, that's what I said.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Next one across middle seat is the parent. Okay. Now
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: either in front or behind you follow that same configuration,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: child parent child parent Okay, And so you're on the
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: same side. It's evenly distributed. But then there's a stranger.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: That's fine? Is it fine? I don't want my kids
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: sitting there strangers. That's why you're in the middle. You're
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: in the middle. Your kid is in the window. You're
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: protecting the child ash But it means that you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: if you need any snacks, any coloring in pencils, any toys,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you can just pass it in front.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, I get it. I'm not gonna look, I'm not.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: This is where we're different. I'm not going to shut
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: you down like you shut me down. But who's going
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: to be like that that works? Who is the parent?
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Who is the parent that gets in the eye of himself?
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: They're the utility now hear me out. They're the utility parent.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: What that mean?
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: They carry the bags on, They get anything the kids
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: need from the overhead locker without inconvenience the kids at
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: All right, both parents are on the outside.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, so they can go right toilet, take a child
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: to the toilet while the utility.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Parents slides over. In the meantime, midway through the flight,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: after a meal, perhaps there's a switch the other parent
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: becomes a utility parent. Do you know who the utility
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: parents should be the strongest? Do you know why? So
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: they can get the things up and down from the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: big thing at the top when you travel with kids.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Let me finish and then you get off the plane.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: The strong parent carries all the shit off the plane
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: while the other parents. So let's just get this straight.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: You don't think April is strong enough to reach up
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: above it. Plenty strong, my god, to get something out
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: of the overhead locks. There's plenty strong. She's not tall enough.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Don't you shame her. I'm not high shaming. She can't
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: control that. It's like five seven, she's like five to four.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Stumpy, little arms, stumpy, a little really strong arms. I
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: just think, okay, you if we're here's another thing too.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: If we go in your configuration and the strangers in
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the aisle, anytime that kid needs to move or get out,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: or someone needs to get something from the other head,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: a stranger is inconvenient.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: We have a bag that's small enough to have at
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: your feet. Well, must be nice. Yes, And and we
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: always do a wee before we go on the plane.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Get rid of the surprise. Predictable it's in our flight. Surprise.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: We what if a surprise ut I pops up? Surprise.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Let's okay. If you're a parent and you're listening, you
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: have an opinion. I want to hear it is ash
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: right or am I right? That's all right, he's right.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Next question, I don't know. I'm too fired up. Listen
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: from Darcy. Would you rather A kids be the dream
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: all day and then nightmare bedtime routine? Or B kids
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: be a nightmare all day but go to sleep instantly?
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Can we need to find instantly? Are we talking like
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: night let's go with that. Yeah, yeah, okay, I think
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I think the dream would be like a spot book,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: like that length of book, just a quick, little express book.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Doesn't have no flaps. No, I don't think anyone does
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: have flaps to just get ripped off by a small,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: redheaded child. If you are a parent of a young
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: child that hasn't ripped off the flaps of a spot book,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I'd be concerned.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't roll that keid into the into a really,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: really prestigious school because they've got their shit together, right.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's unheard of. I will go with God, it's
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: a tough one. I don't think you should have to choose.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I think at the moment, I've kind of got the
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: kids being a nightmare all day and I've got the
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: nightmare routine. Yeah, I would suffer. Do you know what?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I would rather? I can do
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I have the patience to deal with a nightmare child
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: during the day. Okay, when I get to the end
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: of the day, you know, I'm out of energy. I'm
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: exhausted to have them eat their dinner without having to
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: yell at them, without them getting off the seat every
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: two seconds. They eat their own dinner. They don't argue
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: when they go on the bath, they don't argue when
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: they go to bed. Oh that's good. That's bliss. That
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is good. That's bliss. Yeah, I'll just go to the
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: airport a little bit earlier. Can I just quickly say
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: this took about four hours to report. I actually want
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: to say something else, and I just do want to
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: say something. Yeah, I want to just give a quick
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: little shout out to two people really quickly that I'm
