- 0:30Speaker 1: with that?
- 0:31Speaker 3: I've also done it before where I've had no kids
- 0:33Speaker 3: in the car, not a daycare day, and I've left
- 0:36Speaker 3: and just got an autopilot, like driving a daycare.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I'm like, what am I doing? Have you going to
- 0:40Speaker 1: do the pick up? And realize that someone else?
- 0:44Speaker 3: The shame when you walk in and you're like I'm

- 0:50Speaker 3: I know, we're still together. Welcome back to two yoading duards.
- 1:10Speaker 3: I am Mattie Jay and I'm Ash and this is
- 1:12Speaker 3: a podcast all about parenting. It is the good, it is.
- 1:15Speaker 4: The bad and the and we won't give advice, no,
- 1:18Speaker 4: but Ash, I want to just for a second, just
- 1:22Speaker 4: for a hot second, acknowledge where we are right now.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We are in a new studio.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Yeah, which people would know that if they heard Monday's episode.
- 1:31Speaker 1: But YouTube, but YouTube, you can now.
- 1:33Speaker 3: See the studio in all its glory. But I think,
- 1:37Speaker 3: and I'm going to be sentimental for a second, if
- 1:39Speaker 3: I may, I think it is so easy, not just
- 1:43Speaker 3: with work, but in life. You're just constantly trying to
- 1:46Speaker 3: get to the next, to the next, to the next,
- 1:49Speaker 3: you know, and when you have these little achievements, you
- 1:51Speaker 3: don't get to enjoy them that much because you're just
- 1:53Speaker 3: like fucking onto the next.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Like we literally we finished setting up the studio for
- 1:57Speaker 3: last episode the second we finished putting the last pop
- 2:01Speaker 3: plane in the last photo frame up. We then had
- 2:03Speaker 3: to set up the camera to start recording, get the
- 2:04Speaker 3: episode done. Just you know, we didn't have a moment
- 2:06Speaker 3: where we were like, this is I think a really
- 2:08Speaker 3: amazing achievement and I'm so happy of where we're at.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I mean two and a half years of recording.
- 2:15Speaker 2: In three we did a little bit at that other studio, right,
- 2:18Speaker 2: two and a half years of just doing it out
- 2:20Speaker 2: of a house with mainly your house and then my
- 2:22Speaker 2: house here and there, and then we came along and
- 2:25Speaker 2: we moved to a studio which actually gave us the
- 2:28Speaker 2: taste of the good life.
- 2:29Speaker 1: We were like, this is pretty.
- 2:30Speaker 2: This is not good, and then at first we thought
- 2:33Speaker 2: we could never afford it, and then we realized how
- 2:35Speaker 2: actually affordable it is in Sydney, and it was like.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Give us two or three studios.
- 2:40Speaker 2: But it has been like we officially got the keys
- 2:43Speaker 2: with this a month and a half ago and we've
- 2:45Speaker 2: taken that long to get in and we've.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Been chipping away. Don dan Vick's husband did a sensational job,
- 2:52Speaker 3: really really helped us out. Wouldn't be possible without him.
- 2:54Speaker 3: But then you know, you've had moments You've been here
- 2:57Speaker 3: by yourself painting. I've done a run that came up
- 3:00Speaker 3: to buy some plants, fake ones.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Which is honestly, the place wouldn't have come together with
- 3:04Speaker 1: that. That looking great. The twelve dollars light bulb was a highlight.
- 3:11Speaker 3: But also I just want to acknowledge as well. You know,
- 3:14Speaker 3: whilst we do this not for the numbers, not for
- 3:16Speaker 3: the stats, not for the rankings, we do have the
- 3:20Speaker 3: love of the game.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yeah me too.
- 3:21Speaker 3: But you know we've never had as many dots listening
- 3:25Speaker 3: to this podcast as we do right now.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Very true.
- 3:28Speaker 3: It's amazing to see the community grow. If you've just
- 3:30Speaker 3: joined us, welcome. If you've been here from the very start,
- 3:33Speaker 3: thank you so much. It sounds like a dick when
- 3:36Speaker 3: I say this, but I'm so proud of the product
- 3:39Speaker 3: and proud of us, so I just want to acknowledge
- 3:42Speaker 3: that we are. This is what's that saying where they
- 3:45Speaker 3: say I'm going to do another ship now. Podcasting is
- 3:49Speaker 3: like an aeroplane.
- 3:50Speaker 1: It's like a box of chocolates.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Three years ago when we started, when you said, hey,
- 3:55Speaker 3: let's still a podcast, and I was like fuck that.
- 3:58Speaker 3: But if you had said to me, hey, you know,
- 4:00Speaker 3: if you do start this podcast with this little Ashwicks
- 4:03Speaker 3: over here, wicklesworths Wicks as I sometimes call you, You're
- 4:07Speaker 3: going to three years, have your own studio, have an
- 4:09Speaker 3: amazing producer, have an awesome team that cut all the video.

- 4:15Speaker 3: amazing job. I'd be like, shut the fuck up.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Here we are and here we are just like that.
- 4:20Speaker 2: You gotta believe, Matthew, just like the aeroplane analogy, You're
- 4:24Speaker 2: gonna believe that it works.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Although I did forget something really important. Oh fuck when
- 4:29Speaker 3: I got when I got the pictures done, it was
- 4:32Speaker 3: it was a rush, right, it was a big rush.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I got the photos printed, posted a little story of
- 4:37Speaker 3: being like, oh got these beautiful photo frames. And a
- 4:39Speaker 3: few people were like, one lady goes as the youngest
- 4:42Speaker 3: in the family, and I just say, is there a
- 4:45Speaker 3: photo of Poppy somewhere? And I was like, of course
- 4:47Speaker 3: there is.
- 4:48Speaker 1: There's a lot of shirtless photos of me and you
- 4:50Speaker 1: in this place.
- 4:51Speaker 3: There's more shirtless photos of Ash than there are photos
- 4:53Speaker 3: of my youngest child.
- 4:54Speaker 1: There's none of my kids in here whatsoever.
- 4:56Speaker 3: No, actually, right, that makes me feel a lot better.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to photos of me Max. What
- 5:02Speaker 1: happens here Max?
- 5:06Speaker 3: So he will always look over the form of the
- 5:10Speaker 3: driver for Red Beoofore.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Was a four time world champion.
- 5:13Speaker 3: I mean we could not record with him in the room.
- 5:16Speaker 1: We need good thing.

- 5:26Speaker 1: said thank you. Speaking of hats, yeah, we are all
- 5:29Speaker 1: wearing hats.
- 5:30Speaker 2: We are wearing hats, and you're probably thinking, why it's
- 5:32Speaker 2: very sunny.
- 5:33Speaker 3: We've put a whole skylight in the new studio.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Well, it's funny that we could afford the studio but
- 5:37Speaker 1: not the roof. Anyway, these aren't really for sal yet.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Think about how long it took us to renovate a studio.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Just imagine how long it's going to take us to
- 5:48Speaker 3: actually make enough hats to sell them as merchandise. I
- 5:51Speaker 3: know we've got samples.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Yes we are.
- 5:53Speaker 2: We've all got a different hat on that one's is doting,
- 5:56Speaker 2: This one says doting.
- 5:57Speaker 1: That one's his school run race Club, which I very
- 6:00Speaker 1: much like.
- 6:00Speaker 3: We don't know which ones will put into production, but
- 6:02Speaker 3: we're thinking about it. If you have any opinion, let
- 6:04Speaker 3: us know.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Yeah, hat's coming twenty thirty, nice ash very quickly.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Is there any song out there that makes you cry

- 6:12Speaker 1: Cube I Coldplay has got me there before. I really
- 6:15Speaker 1: had to concentrate though, because I'm not a big cry.
- 6:17Speaker 3: You know that?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I was, I'm like, god, damn cry fiction D.
- 6:24Speaker 2: It's when it's like really hits its straps and it's
- 6:26Speaker 2: like the guitar, the everything comes at once in that
- 6:30Speaker 2: one spot.
- 6:31Speaker 3: What are you thinking about? Where's your head out when
- 6:33Speaker 3: you have that little spark of emotion?
- 6:35Speaker 1: That's a good question. Nothing. I'm just trying to like
- 6:39Speaker 1: everyone else seems to have full emotions. Why can't I?
- 6:42Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, I don't know. Honestly, I don't.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I actively avoid crying just because I don't do it
- 6:50Speaker 2: that much.
- 6:51Speaker 3: I guess fuck, I wish, I wish I cried less.
- 6:53Speaker 3: You know what song made me cry? Katie Perry Raw?

- 7:41Speaker 5: cry these conversations.
- 7:45Speaker 6: Oh my goodness. I was in the car on the
- 7:48Speaker 6: weekend with my kids and we were listening to old
- 7:51Speaker 6: school Taylor Swift and love Story came on.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Really, where does that go?
- 7:58Speaker 6: It's a love story?
- 8:00Speaker 7: Maybe just say yeah, maybe Maddie, your head is looking
- 8:05Speaker 7: pretty good on your head and so is yours, and
- 8:08Speaker 7: so is my hat.
- 8:10Speaker 1: This is yeah, that's pretty good.
- 8:13Speaker 6: That's the song. That's much better. But I'll seeing you
- 8:15Speaker 6: with the kids and they love the old school Taylor
- 8:17Speaker 6: and I don't know something about it was started like
- 8:19Speaker 6: the more I sang, the more I could feel it
- 8:21Speaker 6: like come coming up. And then I started crying. While
- 8:23Speaker 6: I was seeing I was like, what is going on?
- 8:26Speaker 3: But actually it's like, mummy, you're okay.
- 8:28Speaker 6: Well they're in the back seat, they can't actually see me.
- 8:30Speaker 6: I was hiding it from them, probably, But do you
- 8:34Speaker 6: think it's us.
- 8:35Speaker 1: No, maybe it's.
- 8:36Speaker 6: Suppressed feelings of the fact that I'm not married.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Well you're engaged though, yeah, Look, it's not all it's
- 8:43Speaker 1: cracked up to.
- 8:43Speaker 6: Me.
- 8:43Speaker 2: If I'm honest, it's the same thing. There's no difference,
- 8:46Speaker 2: be illegally behind.
- 8:47Speaker 3: It is fun though, it is fun. There was a
- 8:49Speaker 3: moment maybe two months before the wedding was going to
- 8:51Speaker 3: take place, and we're still fucking trying to organize everything,
- 8:54Speaker 3: and I was thinking, why the fuck are we doing this?
- 8:56Speaker 2: This is don't tell Laura that, and I would remove
- 8:59Speaker 2: same was like, are you are you enjoying this?
- 9:02Speaker 1: I want my money back?
- 9:04Speaker 6: Pre wedding stress.
- 9:05Speaker 3: The pre wedding stress is real. But then when you
- 9:07Speaker 3: have it's nice to have all your friends there.
- 9:09Speaker 1: It is nice to and then get pissed on your dime.
- 9:12Speaker 1: That's it.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty much pretty much just trying part. We
- 9:15Speaker 2: can throw your party, how about that? And you get married.
- 9:18Speaker 2: I am one third through a celebricy course, but that
- 9:21Speaker 2: I've put on hold, I might go back to it.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Would you do.
- 9:24Speaker 6: Another one of Ash's hyper focuses.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Remember I was doing that, I was working starting this
- 9:29Speaker 2: podcast and finishing that, and I put it all on
- 9:31Speaker 2: hold to do this.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Do you think you'll ever marry someone?
- 9:35Speaker 2: I don't believe in the institute, so probably not for business.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Could be great for business, there's a few things I
- 9:40Speaker 1: want to do.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Yeah, well, like Jim's mowing, you know, like Jim's and tenors,
- 9:43Speaker 3: like Jim's marriages, two doing dads, marriages two dads is
- 9:48Speaker 3: both of us up there?
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's like, do you really need two of you for
- 9:50Speaker 1: this job?
- 9:51Speaker 6: Yes?
- 9:51Speaker 1: What about this?
- 9:52Speaker 2: Because there is a song that repulses me, like it
- 9:55Speaker 2: actually makes me feel it must be something psychological, and
- 9:58Speaker 2: I have worked it out what it is.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I know exactly what song it is, which I used
- 10:01Speaker 1: to love this song? What is it?
- 10:03Speaker 2: It is Phoenix even saying it, yeah.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Right now, Oh my god, I can't get through it.
- 10:13Speaker 1: If it comes on, I can.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I can deal with this because you're you're sing terrible that.
- 10:21Speaker 1: This is glitching right now physically.
- 10:23Speaker 2: If I'm somewhere and they put that song on and
- 10:25Speaker 2: I don't have control over whether I can change it,
- 10:27Speaker 2: I've got to leave.
- 10:28Speaker 6: Oh see, I just that song makes me kick off
- 10:30Speaker 6: and start dancing.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Yes, it used to. And I do recall a time
- 10:33Speaker 1: when I went to it was I was like, I
- 10:36Speaker 1: think I was nineteen and I saw them live.
- 10:38Speaker 3: They're great live, great life.
- 10:40Speaker 1: It's so good and I really really love them. But
- 10:42Speaker 1: I don't know. Something about it triggers my brain.
- 10:45Speaker 3: It's like when you have too drunk off one type
- 10:47Speaker 3: of drink and you have a bad experience.
- 10:49Speaker 1: That drink is then ruined, like tequila with april.
- 10:51Speaker 6: Oh yeah, like samboka do it.
- 10:55Speaker 1: That's a bit liquishy for hey.
- 10:58Speaker 3: I talked a couple of weeks ago about the fact
- 11:00Speaker 3: that Marley is obsessed with an artist called Zara Larson
- 11:03Speaker 3: Oh coming out to Australia. Her tour sold out in
- 11:08Speaker 3: seconds minute.
- 11:09Speaker 2: To sell out things down here because in the past
- 11:12Speaker 2: we haven't got as many good people coming. But now
- 11:16Speaker 2: with the resurgence of the Internet, that thing called on
- 11:18Speaker 2: the Internet.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Finally Australia figure out the Internet. Even though I was
- 11:21Speaker 1: terribly slow, so fucking slow, I haven't got there yet,
- 11:24Speaker 1: but we now were like, oh, we know who people
- 11:26Speaker 1: are and they get here.
- 11:28Speaker 3: She had the Howden, which is a very small venue
- 11:30Speaker 3: in Sydney, added another date upgraded to the Kudos.
- 11:34Speaker 1: She's upgraded from Horton to Kudos.
- 11:36Speaker 3: And it's sold out And someone messaged me a Dodor
- 11:39Speaker 3: and said, hey, we're doing a fundraiser. There's a sign auction.
- 11:41Speaker 3: You can bid on two tickets and I was like, fuck, yeah, great,
- 11:45Speaker 3: and Marley's birthday was coming up.
- 11:46Speaker 1: You think I might get a bit cheaper here? Nice?
- 11:49Speaker 3: I was like, like, how many people want to go
- 11:51Speaker 3: see Zara Larson? Would you see that?
- 11:54Speaker 6: No?
- 11:54Speaker 1: Probably?
- 11:55Speaker 3: I was like, she's not that big, Fuck me jesus.
- 11:58Speaker 3: I mean in the Silent auction there was maybe like
- 12:00Speaker 3: sixty things to bid on. So I did my first
- 12:02Speaker 3: bid opening bid five hundred bucks for two tickets, and
- 12:06Speaker 3: they couldn't tell they're like VIP or not, because I
- 12:08Speaker 3: was like, it just says plus food and drink.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that'd be like catered.
- 12:12Speaker 3: But I was like I could swallow that and also
- 12:14Speaker 3: goes to charity.
- 12:15Speaker 1: I could swallow five hundred dollars worth of food.
- 12:17Speaker 3: That's what.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Carry On Very Good get so much. They went for
- 12:21Speaker 1: five hundred and one thousand bucks. I wouldn't want to
- 12:24Speaker 1: see it that much, Nahn.
- 12:26Speaker 3: I thought about it. I was like no, first, but
- 12:28Speaker 3: second I was like could I no, absolutely not not
- 12:31Speaker 3: going to happen.
- 12:31Speaker 6: Well, I've just bought tickets to Harry Styles.
- 12:34Speaker 3: How much?
- 12:35Speaker 6: Well I think they are about three hundred maybe two?
- 12:38Speaker 1: See that's worth it.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Harry Styles is iconic looks you'll get there, keep out
- 12:44Speaker 2: of Badge's doing great.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Well, she is doing great. But I think like thousand
- 12:48Speaker 1: dollars great, a thousand dollars great?
- 12:50Speaker 2: Might I add, well that one person, but I would
- 12:52Speaker 2: say Harry Styles is way bigger of.
- 12:54Speaker 1: A superstar, like in terms of his portfolio at this stage.
- 12:57Speaker 2: But did you say portfolio did you say diversified portfolio?
- 13:01Speaker 1: Well, he is. He was an actor diversified Dunkirk in
- 13:05Speaker 1: dun Kirk. He was great.
- 13:06Speaker 6: Well, I have a question for you actually, because you're
- 13:08Speaker 6: thinking of taking money to Sarah Larson, I'm contemplating taking
- 13:13Speaker 6: Louis to Harry Starles.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I thought about that, but I thought it's maybe a
- 13:16Speaker 3: bit too sexual, too sexual. I don't know. I panicked,
- 13:22Speaker 3: you know what you know? I Harry is a big
- 13:25Speaker 3: actually like Harry's a big notist. Yeah, he's a big
- 13:27Speaker 3: old like gets his cock out that I'd see that, I'd.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Pay thousand dollars.
- 13:32Speaker 6: He keeps saying, oh, put Harry Styles on in the car.
- 13:34Speaker 6: And then we went to Vivid recently and we went
- 13:37Speaker 6: to the light show that they do at Darling Harbor.
- 13:40Speaker 6: He was like, get me out of here. I want
- 13:43Speaker 6: to go home. This is too scary. The lasers are
- 13:45Speaker 6: going to kill us. There's too many people around, and
- 13:47Speaker 6: I was like, whoa, Because you don't like this, then
- 13:49Speaker 6: you're gonna hate Harry st.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:51Speaker 2: And when I was a kid, I got traumatized by
- 13:53Speaker 2: fireworks on the first.
- 13:55Speaker 1: One was it was in New Year's Eve.
- 13:57Speaker 2: And there's another song I can't listen to, which was
- 13:59Speaker 2: gotta get up to get Dawn because they had the
- 14:01Speaker 2: fireworks on behind it.
- 14:03Speaker 1: And now when it comes on, like yeah, I just
- 14:07Speaker 1: I don't know, I think just like yeah, thank you.
- 14:11Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Anyway, then we hate new Yeah.
- 14:14Speaker 2: I was with Nan and we're at this big like
- 14:18Speaker 2: fireworks show out western Sydney and the fireworks show started as.
- 14:21Speaker 3: The winds Why did you want the fireworks show?
- 14:25Speaker 2: Because it was like a Christmas concert or New Year's
- 14:27Speaker 2: Console some ship like that, and the wind swung and
- 14:29Speaker 2: all the fireworks started coming towards us. It was like Dunkirk.
- 14:34Speaker 1: It was like I was hiding under a tarp.

- 17:11Speaker 2: It's great in twenty years time when they're like, we
- 17:13Speaker 2: have saved so much on dental bills because Matthew Johnson
- 17:16Speaker 2: gave a toothbrush to a seven year old on their
- 17:18Speaker 2: seventh birthday and it changed their life.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Now she's a dentist. Think of what you've done.

- 17:35Speaker 2: let's Vick, what do you got for us? What's happening
- 17:37Speaker 2: in the news world.
- 17:38Speaker 6: Well, I was before we get into a breaking news.
- 17:40Speaker 6: I love that. As a president, I.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Am actually for Okay, thank you I was like, am
- 17:44Speaker 3: I a bad parent?
- 17:45Speaker 6: No? My kids are desperate to have a new tooth.
- 17:49Speaker 6: We go through so many truth brushes.
- 17:51Speaker 2: You always buy them a toothbrush, No, Lucke, they're desperate
- 17:57Speaker 2: for a toothbrush, vic they seldom.
- 18:01Speaker 6: Each kid has about four toothbrushes.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:03Speaker 2: My grandmother still has my toothbrush when I was a child,
- 18:07Speaker 2: and she tries to dish it out and she's.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Like what every birthday party, the kids are like, Mommy,
- 18:12Speaker 3: was there a toothbrush?
- 18:13Speaker 1: Sorry?
- 18:13Speaker 3: Kids? Maybe next year? The okay?
- 18:20Speaker 6: All right, Well, this breaking news today might leave you
- 18:24Speaker 6: a little bit concerned about your nighttime habits.
- 18:26Speaker 1: Oh god, you stop jerking it right before we go
- 18:28Speaker 1: to sleep. It's bad for you.
- 18:31Speaker 6: Staying up late to scroll through your phone at night
- 18:33Speaker 6: isn't just a bad habit. New research links it to
- 18:35Speaker 6: a significantly higher risk of early death.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Disruptive, thank Goodness.
- 18:44Speaker 6: Disruptive sleep cycles and blue light exposure interfere with cellular
- 18:48Speaker 6: repair and cardiovascular health, creating long term damage. Put, simply
- 18:53Speaker 6: trading sleep for screen time could be shortening your.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Life, Vick.
- 18:56Speaker 3: If you want to try and give us anxiety, it's working.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Seems like clickbait to me, that's where did you find that? Scrolling?
- 19:06Speaker 3: But that's what I'm good at, It's what I do.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I think if you're going to whip an article out,
- 19:10Speaker 1: not you.
- 19:10Speaker 2: If you're going to write an article like that and
- 19:12Speaker 2: dish it out to people, you can't put it on
- 19:14Speaker 2: the Internet because you're contradicting everything that you're talking about.
- 19:16Speaker 1: So you've got to put that out in print.
- 19:18Speaker 6: Well, it's saying it's okay to scroll, just not right
- 19:20Speaker 6: before beds.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Don't fucking tell me what to do. Who wrote it? Facebook?
- 19:24Speaker 6: Instagram?
- 19:26Speaker 2: Yeah, you like trying to stop people from doom scrolling
- 19:29Speaker 2: because they help business.
- 19:30Speaker 3: If you know what I have started doing. I put
- 19:32Speaker 3: my phone on charge downstairs at the kitchen.
- 19:36Speaker 6: Good on you in the brick that Ash got you?
- 19:40Speaker 1: Yep, you didn't even open that.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Okay, So Ash a little while ago gave me a present.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Which is very thoughtful for your news resolution.
- 19:47Speaker 3: It was a purse beex box where you look away
- 19:50Speaker 3: your phone.
- 19:51Speaker 1: You can look at me like that. You can see it,
- 19:53Speaker 1: but you can't touch it.
- 19:54Speaker 3: A bit like a relationship.
- 19:57Speaker 1: You can touch it. That incline just when you do
- 19:59Speaker 1: make you go boo. A little book on the end.
- 20:02Speaker 6: How how long do you guys scroll for?
- 20:05Speaker 1: I want to talk about it.
- 20:06Speaker 3: It depends, depends, depends on how stressful the day has been.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Always, always a lot of scrolling.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Once I get my jobs done, once I've cleaned the kitchen,
- 20:15Speaker 3: you know, and then I can treat myself to a
- 20:17Speaker 3: little doom scroll.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Now I get excited it.
- 20:21Speaker 2: And then putt Netflix on the background, not even watching that.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I'm listening to Netflix while I'm doomcro.
- 20:26Speaker 3: But it's honestly, sometimes when I'm like I just feel
- 20:27Speaker 3: a bit stress, a little pick me up, I have
- 20:30Speaker 3: a little scroll.
- 20:31Speaker 1: There, it is there.
- 20:32Speaker 3: It is a little treat.
- 20:33Speaker 1: It is a little treat. Ashare your tooth?

- 21:51Speaker 6: are so amazing. Not to just ruin your story here,
- 21:53Speaker 6: but like, we go through so much poking and prodding
- 21:56Speaker 6: and so many people touching our bodies. It's pain.
- 22:00Speaker 3: Blood test. That was a joke.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I'm poking April.
- 22:06Speaker 3: How often you ever peraps me?
- 22:08Speaker 1: Okay? Right, perhaps me.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be honest, dental work is pretty much just
- 22:13Speaker 2: peraps me work. They're opening up. Okay, that's going to
- 22:16Speaker 2: be disgusting. I'm not going to go any further with that.
- 22:18Speaker 6: Carry It is similar you're opening something and it's uncomfortable.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I know what it's like. Anyway, so I went,
- 22:24Speaker 1: I did it. I got it done.
- 22:25Speaker 2: But it was fucking It's the dentist in the middle
- 22:28Speaker 2: of a shopping.

- 25:02Speaker 3: bit's aureo next week. I've just got body parts next
- 25:04Speaker 3: to my it'side table. If you get into my.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Collection, I just asked you, mom for your forskin.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Anyone breaks into my house, I'd be like, let's get
- 25:13Speaker 3: the fuck out of here.
- 25:16Speaker 1: That's how you get rid of criminals.
- 25:18Speaker 6: Did you go under? No?
- 25:20Speaker 2: So what they do is they give you like it's
- 25:22Speaker 2: like a sleep. It's like valium essentially. But I was
- 25:24Speaker 2: too nervous that I had double dumb gummies beforehand. I thought,
- 25:27Speaker 2: if I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it properly.
- 25:29Speaker 6: Isn't that dangerous?
- 25:31Speaker 1: That's an april. But I was like, live a little,
- 25:33Speaker 1: not if you die.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Anyway, I get in and they leave you there for
- 25:38Speaker 2: forty five minutes because and I was like, oh, great, okay,
- 25:41Speaker 2: perfect time. I'm going to get the doom scroll here.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Aren't interrupted. They're like, nah, you can't have your phone
- 25:46Speaker 2: because it's stimulating for the Because the drugs they give
- 25:49Speaker 2: you could go either way.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Maybe that Vicky were right, not that I would ever
- 25:52Speaker 3: question you, what were you right about? I just I
- 25:54Speaker 3: was like, that can't be right. But then they're not
- 25:56Speaker 3: letting people scroll because it keeps you away, it keeps.
- 25:59Speaker 1: You, keeps you too alert, and like doesn't wow. So anyway,
- 26:03Speaker 1: I had to sit there with my own.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Thoughts like terrible, like who thought that would be a
- 26:10Speaker 2: good idea? And I said to the nurse, I'm like,
- 26:11Speaker 2: you's gonna leave me here? She's like yeah, I'm like,
- 26:13Speaker 2: least stay well.
- 26:15Speaker 1: She's like what.
- 26:15Speaker 2: I'm like, you don't want to be here. I don't
- 26:17Speaker 2: want to be here, Okay, And.
- 26:19Speaker 6: Then it's amazing how scared we are now of being
- 26:22Speaker 6: in our own thoughts.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I want to be distracted at all times.
- 26:26Speaker 2: It's okay for some of it, but then sometimes you're like,
- 26:29Speaker 2: once you pull on a thread that's a little bit
- 26:31Speaker 2: dark to be fucked up, and it's like then they
- 26:34Speaker 2: walk in and scared me.
- 26:36Speaker 3: Ready if you procedure and the crying in the corner.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Be like, it's like you should have you should have?
- 26:44Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I kept like I was allowed to have
- 26:47Speaker 2: my I had my phone in there.
- 26:48Speaker 1: But it was like on the other side, of the room.
- 26:50Speaker 3: That's a fucking tease.
- 26:52Speaker 1: But also they're like, do you want us to take it?
- 26:54Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I can't live without it.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Look at it.
- 26:57Speaker 2: While I'm in there getting a tooth extracted, can you
- 26:59Speaker 2: attach this to me please permanently? But as soon as
- 27:02Speaker 2: I laid down to get the procedure done, the salesman
- 27:06Speaker 2: started to sell.
- 27:07Speaker 3: Anyone who's not familiar. Ash has always attacked dentists, the
- 27:11Speaker 3: industry of dentists.
- 27:12Speaker 1: And this dentist knows that. And you feel I've been
- 27:16Speaker 1: there before.
- 27:16Speaker 3: Ash refers to as mouth, salesman.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Mouth, mechanic, neither one. That's an insult to Actually what
- 27:22Speaker 1: was he selling last time?
- 27:23Speaker 2: I went, as you know, I had a tooth out here, okay,
- 27:25Speaker 2: and now I predominantly chewed on that side because I
- 27:27Speaker 2: knew something was wrong on this side, but I was
- 27:29Speaker 2: too much of a pussy to face it until it
- 27:31Speaker 2: becomes a problem.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Classic man stuff, okay, much like your mental health. Make
- 27:36Speaker 1: sure you check it on yourself. See what I did there?
- 27:38Speaker 1: Very good? I see you guys.
- 27:39Speaker 2: Notice before I got this tooth out and I was there,
- 27:41Speaker 2: I said, hey, what about we explore the option of
- 27:44Speaker 2: an implant?
- 27:45Speaker 3: Because surely that would be cheaper if you're already there,
- 27:49Speaker 3: like whilst he's taking one out, just popping new one in.
- 27:51Speaker 2: You think so, you think so, But there is a
- 27:54Speaker 2: process to it anyway. I got the quote back via
- 27:56Speaker 2: email before I went under. That was like five.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Grand for an implant insurance.
- 28:02Speaker 3: What's going to helping out?
- 28:03Speaker 1: No one's insuring this? Bro Okay, okay, I ship myself
- 28:07Speaker 1: all the time. No one's interested. Boober's like, no, shout
- 28:11Speaker 1: out to Booper because they actually did insure me eventually.
- 28:14Speaker 6: Anyway, So there should be like options though, So because
- 28:19Speaker 6: my friend had to get a tooth out, and you
- 28:21Speaker 6: can get the implant.
- 28:21Speaker 1: By the hospital whatever that means.
- 28:25Speaker 6: You can get a gold tooth or a silver tube ambulance.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Can I get one of them in? I don't know
- 28:30Speaker 1: what I've got. I don't know what picked.
- 28:31Speaker 3: Up an ambulance on the way to get back home.
- 28:33Speaker 3: I don't know how insurance works.
- 28:34Speaker 1: I don't know how it works either.
- 28:36Speaker 6: No, with your tooth, you have options.
- 28:38Speaker 1: I just saw a price.
- 28:39Speaker 2: I was like, oh no, into the email and as
- 28:44Speaker 2: soon as I'm drugged up and laying there with my
- 28:46Speaker 2: mouth open, ready for a procedure.
- 28:47Speaker 1: He was like, have you thought about an implant?
- 28:51Speaker 3: I've just been in a room for two hours by
- 28:53Speaker 3: myself and nothing but anxiety running through my mind.
- 28:56Speaker 1: Thoughts ask me, then, don't ask me how.
- 29:01Speaker 2: It was like, okay, well, we thought about maybe we
- 29:03Speaker 2: can do step one of the procedure now, which is
- 29:05Speaker 2: like they must like prep it and then you come
- 29:08Speaker 2: back when the when they've got the proper measurements and everything.
- 29:10Speaker 2: So it fits nice and snark, and I was like,
- 29:12Speaker 2: in my head, but.
- 29:13Speaker 3: It's a wisdom too that no one getting fucking in.
- 29:16Speaker 2: My head the whole time that you said something the
- 29:18Speaker 2: other day and like, dentist sails are down in.
- 29:20Speaker 1: My head for an hour, I laid.
- 29:23Speaker 3: There record I never said that you did, because.
- 29:25Speaker 1: That's all I thought about for the whole time. All
- 29:29Speaker 1: I'm thinking of is ge DENTISTI house must be down anyway.
- 29:35Speaker 2: I'm laying there and he goes he was like, have
- 29:37Speaker 2: you thought about the implants? And my brain straight away
- 29:40Speaker 2: went to this motherfucker. I had that enough consciousness to
- 29:44Speaker 2: know that what he's doing here, he's trying to sell
- 29:46Speaker 2: to me while I'm under the influence, which is not fair.
- 29:49Speaker 2: And I all I had was an answer was like nah,
- 29:53Speaker 2: nah nah, And then he was like, oh, who's coming
- 29:55Speaker 2: to pick you up?
- 29:56Speaker 1: Is Ape' goning to pick you up? And she's like yeah.
- 29:57Speaker 1: He's like, I'll talk to her about it. I was like,
- 29:59Speaker 1: don't you take my beautiful wife.
- 30:02Speaker 2: Next mining, I'm walking out of here with a bunch
- 30:03Speaker 2: of gold teeth and I've re mortgaged the house.
- 30:05Speaker 3: I'm so annoyed to have grills.
- 30:08Speaker 2: I was going to buy some cheap like the Dracula
- 30:11Speaker 2: ones like see. But as I was leaving, I'm like
- 30:14Speaker 2: distracted by Macie because she came and she was having
- 30:16Speaker 2: a great time. And I look over and the dentists

- 30:24Speaker 2: We're not getting Yeah, he's trying to be fair, great effort,
- 30:32Speaker 2: he really put in. He really wanted that cash points

- 30:39Speaker 2: no one here, I remember that I got that one out.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Uh oh okay, so don't show don't show me Ulcer.
- 30:48Speaker 2: On the other side, you're a bloody mess at the moment.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Bloody mouse salesman trying to get me back.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Drinking like Nick Jo and Purbot.
- 30:56Speaker 2: It's been like, yeah, I honestly, I'm too spiteful to
- 31:01Speaker 2: be a dentist.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I've come out of a coma straight into the preparation
- 31:06Speaker 2: of a seven year old soccer party, which is the
- 31:09Speaker 2: party of the century, which has nearly split this family apart.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Really the transformation of Ash. He loves dentists. He's the
- 31:17Speaker 3: hate birthday parties. Now he's fucking missed birthday.
- 31:19Speaker 2: I still hate dentists, and I still hate birthday parties. Okay, okay,
- 31:23Speaker 2: but sometimes you just gotta play.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Nice because it's just easier. So April has been planning.
- 31:27Speaker 2: This birthday party for fucking what feels like forever, at
- 31:33Speaker 2: this indoor soccer thing anyway.
- 31:34Speaker 1: So we've got individual boxes for each kid with food.
- 31:38Speaker 2: She's gone all out on this thing, which I'm like
- 31:41Speaker 2: to Oscar, don't get.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Used to this. So twenty four or so kids boys only. No,
- 31:46Speaker 1: there was some girls there for the soccer team.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it was mainly the soccer team and a couple
- 31:50Speaker 2: of kids from his class. Anyway, So twenty four lollibags,
- 31:53Speaker 2: twenty four individual little snack box for these kids. I
- 31:57Speaker 2: learned how to icic cake on the spot, classic me.
- 32:00Speaker 2: That was flawless, smooth. No one's ever seen a cake
- 32:02Speaker 2: is good. Nobody's a little wonky. But how do you?
- 32:06Speaker 1: It's nice for you to come to.
- 32:09Speaker 6: You.
- 32:11Speaker 1: I did put it out there, but I knew that
- 32:12Speaker 1: you were. You did say, look, i'm single parenting. I
- 32:15Speaker 1: was like, well, I understand, I completely understand, but I
- 32:19Speaker 1: knew kids love the Lolli bags.
- 32:21Speaker 3: But he's good. He's good, and.
- 32:24Speaker 1: So does me.
- 32:26Speaker 2: But I didn't know that there's one child who loves
- 32:29Speaker 2: Lolli bags more than anyone. And I want to pick
- 32:32Speaker 2: to see if you, I'm going to show you a
- 32:33Speaker 2: video of who you think likes Lolli bags the most.
- 32:40Speaker 1: Who wants a Lollly bag? What did she come out
- 32:51Speaker 1: of nowhere?
- 32:52Speaker 5: Wow?
- 32:53Speaker 1: How's the pace on the girl?
- 32:56Speaker 3: Look at the cadence, those little legs into a sucker
- 32:59Speaker 3: court and it's just like like vultures swarming, swarming, and
- 33:03Speaker 3: then out of nowhere they all run to this one
- 33:06Speaker 3: little daughter exit the field. And then there's one child.
- 33:10Speaker 3: She's like fifty meters ahead of everyone else.
- 33:12Speaker 2: She came out of nowhere she's like running up the hallway.
- 33:15Speaker 2: I quite like being up there, felt like a bit of.
- 33:18Speaker 1: An overlord children. It's like if there's a riot, he's
- 33:22Speaker 1: like pops up, popping them off.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Who would like a Lolli bar?
- 33:24Speaker 1: Yeah, unlocked the door.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Great result.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Yeah, so lots of presents, lots of kids, lots of screaming.
- 33:35Speaker 2: But we all went home and napped for like three
- 33:37Speaker 2: hours and then now woken up in Oscar's sick.
- 33:40Speaker 1: She's sick.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Everyone's sick at the moment. If you're not sick, consider
- 33:45Speaker 3: yourselves one of the lucky ones. It's coming. It'll get
- 33:48Speaker 3: your You know what's really sad. It makes me a
- 33:50Speaker 3: little bit sad. I didn't realize this, but in Lola's
- 33:55Speaker 3: kindy class there's only four girls including Lola and the whole.
- 34:00Speaker 1: How many kidney classes are there though, three?
- 34:02Speaker 3: This is a real shortage of girls in that year.
- 34:05Speaker 6: That's the same as Louis year.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Girl. Yeah we got too many.
- 34:08Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like there's some sort of boy baby boom, like. Yeah.
- 34:13Speaker 3: The repercussions of that, I'm now realizing is that there's
- 34:16Speaker 3: just not that many birthday parties because the boys are
- 34:19Speaker 3: doing like Lola sounds amazing. No, but no, but for lot.
- 34:25Speaker 6: For Lola, she didn't get any day.
- 34:29Speaker 3: Marley had another birthday party. There's heaps of girls in
- 34:31Speaker 3: her class. And Lola was like, I never get to
- 34:34Speaker 3: go to birthday parties. And I'm like, oh breaks my heart.
- 34:37Speaker 3: What about Chaz, Yeah, she's.
- 34:39Speaker 1: A lot of birthday parties.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Well she's got she's in another class. Oh, Chaz is
- 34:44Speaker 3: my niece. She's the same school, same year, but in
- 34:46Speaker 3: another class.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Can't they just group or I mean group all the
- 34:50Speaker 2: girls together and then then you have heaps of parties.
- 34:52Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen. It's always going to be per class,
- 34:54Speaker 3: not per year.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Okay, because then it's like boy and girl parties, Like.
- 34:58Speaker 3: All the boys have boy parties and there's no girls
- 35:01Speaker 3: for girls.
- 35:02Speaker 6: That's not right. KINDI should be a whole class. Yeah,
- 35:05Speaker 6: isn't that the unspoken rule?
- 35:07Speaker 3: Is that a rule?
- 35:08Speaker 1: Is it a rule?
- 35:08Speaker 6: In kindergarten? You should have the whole class because otherwise
- 35:12Speaker 6: people like Lolo get left out?
- 35:13Speaker 1: What I cost a living?
- 35:15Speaker 6: So yes, I've taken that into consideration.
- 35:18Speaker 1: When did you take that just that after I've said it?
- 35:21Speaker 6: No, because Louis I gave him the option. I said,
- 35:22Speaker 6: you're gonna have a whole class party, or you can
- 35:24Speaker 6: have a special day with your two closest mates. So
- 35:27Speaker 6: he chose special day.
- 35:29Speaker 1: It's smart.
- 35:29Speaker 6: Love that cheaper too.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like convincing him.
- 35:32Speaker 3: You're like, or you can have a really special day
- 35:34Speaker 3: or Yeah, kids everywhere.
- 35:40Speaker 1: People here, we're.
- 35:42Speaker 6: Going to go to the aquarium. We're going to get
- 35:44Speaker 6: happy meals, and then we're going to go to the
- 35:45Speaker 6: playground and then have ice cream. Like that's way better
- 35:48Speaker 6: than a party.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Well maybe if I was invited to Oscar.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Fucking kids everywhere. You don't want to go to that
- 35:57Speaker 1: ship show, poor little Lolla.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Yeah I invited to I can't.
- 36:03Speaker 1: A couple of girls there. There was a Laza Rosy Ivy.
- 36:06Speaker 1: All the girls are my favorite because they're like, yeah,
- 36:08Speaker 1: what's up?
- 36:09Speaker 2: High five and all the boys are like I thought it,
- 36:13Speaker 2: shut up, and then they'll like throw a ball at
- 36:16Speaker 2: my head. I'll tell you one thing, though, please with
- 36:19Speaker 2: a party, like they get a soccer party, lots of
- 36:21Speaker 2: tears and just out of the blue, they whacked the
- 36:24Speaker 2: lights off and put the disco lights on.
- 36:25Speaker 1: It's like there's balls flying over and there's kids like,
- 36:30Speaker 1: who's the idea.
- 36:31Speaker 3: In an arena with the bull sports to turn the
- 36:32Speaker 3: lights off?
- 36:33Speaker 1: Oh, they're just like, how do we get through this
- 36:34Speaker 1: next hour? Turn the lights off? And then they get
- 36:37Speaker 1: the close to you know, kids, light were close to
- 36:39Speaker 1: it gets in your eye if you had that.
- 36:41Speaker 3: Actually, do you know what? Do you know what we
- 36:43Speaker 3: did on the weekend, which the kids loved. We went
- 36:46Speaker 3: to our neighbor's house and they've got a big, old
- 36:48Speaker 3: trampoline in the backyard and I feel like this is
- 36:51Speaker 3: an activity that will never be able to be replicated
- 36:53Speaker 3: again with the same level of success. But we gave
- 36:56Speaker 3: the kids a tube each of bubble liquid that shit
- 37:00Speaker 3: last like thirty seconds, yeah at the most. And then
- 37:03Speaker 3: they had a heap of really cheap beach balls blown
- 37:06Speaker 3: up in the trampoline, which had like a net surrounding it.
- 37:09Speaker 3: And then the kids just slipped and slided yeah if
- 37:12Speaker 3: you will, on the tramplant slipped and slid on.
- 37:16Speaker 2: They slipped and slipped and slipped and slid.
- 37:20Speaker 3: And then the dad of the house, he's very handy,
- 37:23Speaker 3: and he's managed to get the garden hose hooked up
- 37:25Speaker 3: to the hot water so he can squirt them with
- 37:27Speaker 3: warm water. Oh that's good gear and the kids were
- 37:30Speaker 3: loving it. I was literally like we should go, and
- 37:33Speaker 3: I was like, hang on a second, like.
- 37:34Speaker 1: A shower, there's no need for a bar.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Yeah, and they'll be so tired.
- 37:37Speaker 1: It's like Joe. Kids really smell like clean dishes.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And they jumped on that trampoline for like
- 37:44Speaker 3: forty five minutes.
- 37:45Speaker 1: That's so good till it gets in their eye.
- 37:46Speaker 3: I and I was waiting for it was quite dark.
- 37:50Speaker 3: I was like, a kid's gonna fucking jump in. Another
- 37:52Speaker 3: kid walked away without injury.
- 37:54Speaker 2: It was a miracle, a parenting miracle, and is a
- 37:56Speaker 2: parent if you will, that is honestly, trampoline could either way.
- 38:00Speaker 1: The guy the kid next door broke his leg.
- 38:02Speaker 3: We have had it before where there's a zipper of
- 38:05Speaker 3: the area and if someone doesn't zip up, gets double
- 38:09Speaker 3: bounced out.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Yeah. We used to have a trampoline.
- 38:14Speaker 2: The amount of times I'd have to check the zipp
- 38:16Speaker 2: because they would and like little kid, they want to
- 38:18Speaker 2: bump into each other and stuff, so bump them straight out.
- 38:22Speaker 1: The door, especially a little Macy.
- 38:23Speaker 2: She's been double bottle until Tracy, she's been double bounced
- 38:29Speaker 2: a lot and She's like, I just like a.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Ball of meat in the air, in the air.
- 38:35Speaker 3: It's such a beautiful way of describing.
- 38:39Speaker 2: What's Mason, Like big, big, hairy ball of meat.
- 38:42Speaker 3: But it was a miracle. And because I was thinking
- 38:44Speaker 3: to myself, I've got you, Laura is still away at
- 38:46Speaker 3: the moment. No, no, I don't need it, don't. The
- 38:49Speaker 3: claps are getting softer and like more weak. This is
- 38:52Speaker 3: probably the last time I get a round of applause,
- 38:54Speaker 3: so I appreciate it. But I was like staring down
- 38:58Speaker 3: the barrel of doing by myself with three kids not anymore.
- 39:02Speaker 1: They're all soaped up, and I was like, but it was.
- 39:04Speaker 3: It was a miracle, but I did it. We still
- 39:07Speaker 3: have little pinch points. Bedtime is the hardest part because
- 39:11Speaker 3: you're like you're just juggling act juggling act, you know,
- 39:14Speaker 3: trying to like get Poppy down. She's not going down.
- 39:15Speaker 3: The other kids are still making too much noise. You're like,
- 39:18Speaker 3: I'm trying to get Poppy down. And I came in,
- 39:19Speaker 3: finally got Poppy down. Came in and I was like,
- 39:23Speaker 3: I was like clearly exhausted, and Lola took me and
- 39:26Speaker 3: she's like, you're doing a good job.
- 39:31Speaker 1: I must have made a real like real sh.
- 39:36Speaker 3: What next? So what's the fucking story?
- 39:38Speaker 1: My kids are more like, what's wrong with you?
- 39:40Speaker 2: No?
- 39:40Speaker 3: She was like, you know what dare you're doing?
- 39:42Speaker 1: Hanging their pal hanging their and I'm hungry. By the way,
- 39:45Speaker 1: while you're at it, while you're down at your lowest,
- 39:47Speaker 1: you're doing a good job. But I'm hungry.
- 39:49Speaker 3: No, I needed it.
- 39:50Speaker 6: That's beautiful.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Someone did say you gotta let them know, because I
- 39:54Speaker 3: was like, I'm by myself here, guys, you know I'm
- 39:56Speaker 3: doing the best I can. And Lola, it was so
- 39:59Speaker 3: weird roles revert. She was like, don't worry, Mommy will
- 40:02Speaker 3: be home soon and this will all be over.
- 40:06Speaker 2: It definitely won't be over, but we'll make it will
- 40:09Speaker 2: make you think like it's all gonna be okay.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I was her laugh and she's like, hang in there.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Have you had many of them in your bed every night? Yeah?
- 40:16Speaker 3: Okay everyone, Marley, yes, Lola, yes, Poppy. As far as
- 40:22Speaker 3: I know, she's sleeping through. And that was my biggest
- 40:26Speaker 3: That was my biggest concern because I was like such
- 40:29Speaker 3: a deep sleeper. It was such a deep sleeper, and
- 40:31Speaker 3: Laura was like just like, please if she makes noise,
- 40:36Speaker 3: get up, and I was like, I don't know. She is, well,
- 40:39Speaker 3: I'm asleep. I can't I know.
- 40:41Speaker 1: And that's we don't have.
- 40:42Speaker 2: We don't get the same thing that mum gets, which
- 40:45Speaker 2: is like I can't hear the busy main road at
- 40:48Speaker 2: the front, but.
- 40:48Speaker 1: I'll hear the murmur of my child, like I'll hear that.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I went through a phase where I could just like
- 40:55Speaker 2: know what every noise in my house was.
- 40:57Speaker 1: I'm quite a light sleeper unlike you.
- 40:59Speaker 2: I can hear are every I know, when a kid's
- 41:02Speaker 2: just moving around in their bed, I can hear the
- 41:04Speaker 2: slight had that creak of that particular bed. So like
- 41:08Speaker 2: the ladder on the on the bunk bed, one of
- 41:10Speaker 2: the screws is missing, which I found in makes his bed.
- 41:13Speaker 2: She's trying to planning a prison escape some sort of
- 41:15Speaker 2: ship like that, And I was like, I know the
- 41:18Speaker 2: exact noise it makes when someone's foot touches it.
- 41:22Speaker 1: And I hear that. I'm like, back to bed.
- 41:25Speaker 3: You hear the autopilot?
- 41:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like doors shut, headphones on the whole bit.
- 41:30Speaker 2: I'm like, go back to bed, and I can't. Yeah,
- 41:35Speaker 2: there's like also my shoddy tradesmanship where I've done a
- 41:37Speaker 2: bit of flooring is a bit of a creek.
- 41:39Speaker 3: What's with you on the missing screws? Not to have
- 41:41Speaker 3: a go at you, but like everything you made here,
- 41:44Speaker 3: you're like, the screw won't go in.
- 41:47Speaker 1: There's always one one screw doesn't line up.
- 41:50Speaker 2: So I've just given up. It's kind of like an
- 41:52Speaker 2: analogy in life. There's always going to be one screw
- 41:56Speaker 2: that doesn't go well.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Set all set, But Laura is like, how's sleeping? And
- 42:00Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, she's up a few times.
- 42:02Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got it. Yeah, once or twice. Never let
- 42:05Speaker 1: him know how good it is and how it is.
- 42:07Speaker 3: First two nights I wake up at like six thirty
- 42:10Speaker 3: when Lola wakes up, and I'd be like, oh fuck,
- 42:12Speaker 3: I have run into a room and peek in and
- 42:15Speaker 3: be like, oh thank god, check your pulse. It's bloody stressful.
- 42:19Speaker 3: But she's sleeping like a champion.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Oh how good?
- 42:21Speaker 2: And then well she won't have the scent of Oh
- 42:23Speaker 2: she's not breastfeeding anywayre is she all the bottle?
- 42:25Speaker 3: My guy?
- 42:25Speaker 6: How old is she now?
- 42:27Speaker 3: She is eight months? Just got eight months?
- 42:29Speaker 1: What's what's the actual birthday?
- 42:31Speaker 3: Of Poppy twenty four September.
- 42:33Speaker 1: I'll never forget that.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Thank you? Can I just say going to bed. That's tough.
- 42:40Speaker 3: That's tough solo. Another tough part is homework. Homework is
- 42:44Speaker 3: bloody tough. I was like, surely I can get this
- 42:48Speaker 3: done in ten minutes with Marley.
- 42:49Speaker 1: I think it's a waste of time.
- 42:51Speaker 3: What do you do with Oscar?
- 42:52Speaker 1: This is what I want to know.
- 42:54Speaker 2: If you just did the work at school that we
- 42:56Speaker 2: pay fees for, you wouldn't have to bring it home,
- 42:58Speaker 2: wouldn't be homework you pay fees. But we just forget
- 43:07Speaker 2: all of last year, not a single piece of homework with.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Nothing reading.
- 43:13Speaker 6: He's great, he can read, he can read.
- 43:16Speaker 3: Who's teaching him?
- 43:17Speaker 1: I guess him. That's good, it's fine. I think it's fine.
- 43:22Speaker 6: Do you know what I keep coming back to when
- 43:23Speaker 6: I don't do my home, sorry, when we don't go
- 43:26Speaker 6: on Louis. In Scandinavia, they don't start school until they're seven,
- 43:30Speaker 6: and they have the highest rates of intelligence, success, happiness.
- 43:35Speaker 6: And it's because they give those kids an extra year
- 43:38Speaker 6: of play before their brains are developed, so they've I
- 43:40Speaker 6: think they've worked out. When a kid turns seven their
- 43:43Speaker 6: brain is developed and ready to grow and learn and
- 43:45Speaker 6: so all that sort of stuff. But if you do
- 43:46Speaker 6: it before then, and especially if you're pushing kids, then
- 43:50Speaker 6: it can actually send them the opposite direction because they
- 43:53Speaker 6: won't want to learn because it's so hard. And when
- 43:56Speaker 6: I'm doing Louis reading, I can literally see the fatigue
- 44:01Speaker 6: set into their little eyes as they're reading the pages,
- 44:03Speaker 6: and it's like, I don't know if I should keep going.
- 44:05Speaker 1: But I also because we've never done it, I'm.
- 44:09Speaker 6: So competitive though as well that I'm like, read the book.
- 44:11Speaker 3: I was pushing so hard. Marley had all she had
- 44:14Speaker 3: to do choose artwork and be from a book, can
- 44:16Speaker 3: be anywhere. Laura had a little painting or some flowers.
- 44:19Speaker 3: You had to pick the artwork write four sentences about
- 44:22Speaker 3: that artwork. And I was like, that'll take us two seconds.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
- 44:28Speaker 6: Four sentences seems like a lot.
- 44:30Speaker 3: So this is about flowers, and this artwork makes it
- 44:35Speaker 3: feel happy because the flowers are bright, right, that's what
- 44:38Speaker 3: we're talking about. I was there for an hour. I
- 44:41Speaker 3: was there for an hour, and I was like, she
- 44:43Speaker 3: makes a mistake. She's like, I'll start again, and I'm like,
- 44:46Speaker 3: just just cross it out.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Who cares.
- 44:49Speaker 3: Fucking capitals? Also, I was like, guys, how do we
- 44:52Speaker 3: want to do this? Do you want to go to
- 44:54Speaker 3: the park first and then we'll do our homework afterwards,
- 44:57Speaker 3: And they were like absolutely, because we could do our
- 44:59Speaker 3: homework first. It's like, don't look at me like that guy.
- 45:02Speaker 2: Just do what Ash does and don't do it. What's
- 45:04Speaker 2: gonna happen. What's the fucking worst that's gonna happen. It's like, oh,
- 45:08Speaker 2: I didn't get that in their thirties, didn't get.
- 45:09Speaker 1: That job because I didn't do that one day of
- 45:11Speaker 1: fucking home, Like, shut up, it's just it's do it
- 45:13Speaker 1: at school, schoolwork.
- 45:15Speaker 6: The fear of him falling behind though in class keeps
- 45:18Speaker 6: me up at night. So Louis got sent home a
- 45:21Speaker 6: special writing pack to practice his fine motor skills so
- 45:24Speaker 6: he can catch up to the class in his writing.
- 45:26Speaker 6: And I was like, my son's.
- 45:28Speaker 1: Going behind what seven or six?
- 45:31Speaker 3: Five? Yeah, but that's when it starts then, and then
- 45:33Speaker 3: imagine they fall behind in grade one, then grade two,
- 45:36Speaker 3: grade three, and then grade seven. Imagine imagine what.
- 45:38Speaker 2: If they concentrated on other things and better things and
- 45:41Speaker 2: things that could improve their life significantly down the track. Again,
- 45:45Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the rombus because no one's mentioned
- 45:48Speaker 2: a rombus to me. And like when I was a child,
- 45:51Speaker 2: they were like, well, make sure you carry the seven.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I haven't carried a seven this whole time.
- 45:55Speaker 3: Who's carrying the seven? Like in maths whatever that means
- 45:58Speaker 3: for carry the seven?
- 45:59Speaker 1: Well, exactly where's it going? What's They're just like, why
- 46:02Speaker 1: don't you subtract? I'll tell you what you should do.
- 46:04Speaker 3: I don't forget to act to carry the seven.
- 46:06Speaker 2: Timmy's got eight apples, he gives one to Matt and
- 46:09Speaker 2: now he's got fifteen apples.
- 46:10Speaker 3: Who's carrying the seven?
- 46:11Speaker 1: Fucking Timmy where it's his Romberson who's carrying the seven? Like,
- 46:15Speaker 1: fucking who cares? Do you know what you should do?
- 46:17Speaker 1: Teach Louis taxes that'll really help him.
- 46:20Speaker 6: Well, I'm actually just like, okay, let's just focus on
- 46:22Speaker 6: his emotional smart intelligence because that is something that he
- 46:26Speaker 6: will carry for the rest.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Of this Yeah, honestly, I think it was.
- 46:29Speaker 3: It was eight o'clock and I was still like trying
- 46:32Speaker 3: to get I was like, you three sentences in, we've
- 46:34Speaker 3: got one more to go. Keep on pushing to stay focused.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Mothery was like, I don't want to do this anymore.
- 46:39Speaker 3: That's just Then the next day I was like, did
- 46:41Speaker 3: you hand it in? And she was like hand what in?
- 46:43Speaker 3: And I was like there are four sentences and she
- 46:45Speaker 3: was like, oh, I forgot that's it.
- 46:46Speaker 1: This way, we didn't do homework all of last year
- 46:48Speaker 1: and no one mentioned it.
- 46:50Speaker 6: No one, what did April do it? No?
- 46:53Speaker 1: I was like, we're so slack. There's one thing.
- 46:55Speaker 2: We're just like, we couldn't be fucked. You don't get
- 46:57Speaker 2: would my trail my kid do, like gain a life lesson,
- 47:00Speaker 2: then do a fucking homework, like go to school and
- 47:03Speaker 2: do it. That's just my view on it, mainly because
- 47:05Speaker 2: when I was a kid, I didn't do.
- 47:07Speaker 1: Any of my homework.
- 47:07Speaker 3: And I'm fine if it makes you feel any better.
- 47:10Speaker 3: People are like, oh, but what about when you can
- 47:12Speaker 3: get the kids older? I remember, I think I told
- 47:15Speaker 3: you this story. Year twelve studying for mass so I
- 47:19Speaker 3: never fucking did any study at all. I was I did.
- 47:22Speaker 6: Pretty bad, Like which maths did you do?
- 47:24Speaker 3: I didn't? I say, like the easiest of the mile
- 47:28Speaker 3: and I failed all my exams and I was like
- 47:30Speaker 3: year twelve, I was like, this is it. We're gonna
- 47:32Speaker 3: fucking do this, Matt. We're gonna knuckle down, We're going
- 47:34Speaker 3: to study, get the work done. Here we go, first assignment,
- 47:38Speaker 3: turn one. And then I was like, oh, trampoline. We
- 47:41Speaker 3: had a trampoline in the backyard and I was like,
- 47:43Speaker 3: I wonder if I can do a front flip? That
- 47:44Speaker 3: was it?
- 47:45Speaker 1: Can you front flip?
- 47:45Speaker 3: Now?
- 47:46Speaker 6: Oh?
- 47:46Speaker 1: Yeah, Sven?
- 47:49Speaker 2: Yeah, look at me down Yeah, Like honestly, like it's
- 47:53Speaker 2: fucking ridiculous. And I think, like what happens is they
- 47:56Speaker 2: get bogged down. These kids get bogged down with things
- 47:59Speaker 2: they are on in for sitting and actually don't learn
- 48:01Speaker 2: it and actually don't take it with them. When why
- 48:04Speaker 2: can't we focus on him teaching them things that they're
- 48:07Speaker 2: going to be like yeah, fuck and double down on that.
- 48:10Speaker 2: Why do I need why does he need to be
- 48:11Speaker 2: good at maths, science, English reading? Why can't he be
- 48:14Speaker 2: like do you know what I'm really good at maths?
- 48:17Speaker 2: For example? Okay, numbers and really good at numbers. I'm like, well,
- 48:19Speaker 2: why don't you focus on that instead of can you read?
- 48:22Speaker 1: Can you read the numbers? Can you read what it's saying? Fine?
- 48:25Speaker 2: Like right, especially this age like if he's in year
- 48:28Speaker 2: ten or whatever, and it's like, hey, these sort of
- 48:30Speaker 2: things you really.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Need to knuckle down. Fine, but now I'd much rather.
- 48:35Speaker 2: Him go, Okay, well, I want to learn about something
- 48:37Speaker 2: that's actually interesting to me. Like he's at the moment
- 48:39Speaker 2: he's reading this spacebook and all he's doing instead of sleeping,
- 48:42Speaker 2: which is really annoying, is yelling out different space facts.
- 48:47Speaker 1: He's like, do you know what the earth comparison to
- 48:50Speaker 1: the Sun is? Like what he's like, He's like, think
- 48:52Speaker 1: of a beach ball as a son, we'd be like
- 48:54Speaker 1: a p I'm like, bo, that's good gear. Can I
- 48:57Speaker 1: say that? The popular? But like he's not going to
- 49:02Speaker 1: be like, do you know what's really interesting? Ash? Because
- 49:04Speaker 1: that's what he carry the seven's. Have you ever carried
- 49:07Speaker 1: a seven? I'm like, I'm carrying up Yeah, like you're seven.
