  Speaker 2: a GP and they said you should worm your kids
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: before every term.

• 2:56
  Speaker 1: That's really good after dinner. That a cup of tea. Yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: an arrow roote. Look at us late thirties, both of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: us now. Thank you for giving me wormed, de wormed,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: no worry and also keeping the listeners in d wormed
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and informed away. By the time this comes out, it
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: will be old news. But yeah, Brooklyn Beckham, I feel
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: like every woman not to generalize here, but every woman
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: over the age of thirty right now is in shock.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: All the pre thirty year I was like the fuck.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Laura was like, did you hear the news? You wake
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: me up? And I was like, we like, Brooklyn's post
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it on Instagram and.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I don't get that. Honestly, I don't really, I know
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: there's like a feud or I don't know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, I'm well, we are probably the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: wrong people to be talking about this because we don't
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: know enough. But this is what from what my sources
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: are telling me. Slash my wife. So Brooklyn, the son
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of David and Victoria obviously posh spice. Oh yeah, you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: with me? With me? I always thought the feud was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: like a bit of a joke, but apparently apparently he
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: had they had unfollowed each other on social media.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Oh god, all right, yeah, and so there's.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: No way of hiding the feud because people were like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they unfollowed each other.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Is that a publicity this or do you think that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: what I.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Was like, Maybe it's just a piss take. Maybe they
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: just haven't a laugh And he's like, oh dad, I'll
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: unfollow you, and he's like, yeah, do it, and.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Everyone like around the world getting the fuck out of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: my house.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But apparently he got married recently, and apparently Victorian David,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: according to what Brooklyn has posted, they tried to break
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: up the relationship, and Victoria even then stopped the wedding
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: dress being made. So you know, are your team David
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and Victoria.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I think once you get that sort of famous and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that sort of money, just get on with your fucking life. Like,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: if your son's going to marry someone that you don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: like too fucking bad, are you're going to just push
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: them away?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Then do we listen to little Brooklyn, who's obviously I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: mean not obviously sorry, let me rephrase that could be
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a spoiled little brat.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I would say that Vic, Toria, Posh and David. They've
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: hit boomer category here, So you don't listen to them
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: because I mean that's part of the same generation that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: was like a.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Bit red hot.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, so I think Brooklyn's probably a little
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: bit more woke. And also I did read one bit
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of it here he is I'm usually don't he is
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: welcome to the party. What do you got? I care
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: about me?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But I had I read someone's story because they were
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: like the Royal fan someone called them the Royal family essentially. Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: they're like the most famous couple in history. Yeah, it's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like people will debate that show, but that she grinded,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: bumped and grinded on.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Him, and at the who Victoria bumped and grinded on
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn at the wedding reception because she wanted to steal them.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: She's the mother mother in law from hell apparently, what.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Look I can but that's a sort of petty thing
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: boomers do.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But being grinded on by your mum, could you imagine?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'd hate that mum. Get off, especially
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: my mum get on me. She's only like four foot ten.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: You know how you didn't do grinding my shit?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: A bit of incest. Yeah, it's weird, it's weird. I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: don't know who to believe.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I think it also comes down to, like, boy, mum's right, Oh,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: April's going to be posh beck of my recond Yes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But have you ever called April so she's in the
• 6:26

  Speaker 1: when you're in the house at the same time as

• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a conversation already that was with Roberta. And I didn't
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: know if Roberta said yes or no. And so Lola

• 11:29
  Speaker 1: various care. So were two hundred and one? Yeah? Congratulations, sir, handshake.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I thought we would have done more than two hundred.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Unless you've got another podcast with that you're doing with
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: another dad? Then the Double century, the double century.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: We should do something for it. So I thought we
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: could do a little quiz. Yes, great, And I've never
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: tried breast milk before.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, while I have a few times, against my will,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I've worken up and Laura's been over the top of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: trying to drown you. But we we were talking about
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: doing a little like game quiz and the loser had
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to try the breast milk.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: And I'll be honest, Laura didn't love the idea a milker.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, just give me like half a shot
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: glass and she was.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Like, no, and it is precious, I get it. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so she did not did not consent to being milked
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: for the quiz. Maybe I should ask. So we have
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: gotten something just as good.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: An alternative you a I've got in my hand here
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: a shot a very.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Very funny looking glass. I don't know if a glass
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that big needs a hand apps. I like it. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: like it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: It's what do you know?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: What? Can I let you a little secret? I love

• 13:09
  Speaker 1: is I'm worried about. Well, do you like it? Yeah?

• 21:22
  Speaker 1: when you mentioned that you were embarking on this journey,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I said last.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, that was what I said. Here, man, I'm
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: currently ten days sober right now.

• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Oh my god?

  Speaker 1: Fuck, I apologize.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: It's today's day forty four.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Wow. I know. I actually saw the lovely gentleman working
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: at the cafe and they said that since you started
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: drinking with them, which was roughly the age of thirteen
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: or fourteen, this is the longest you have ever gone
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: without a drink. It's not, Oh, it's not.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I'm nearly there.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Eight weeks is the longest I've ever been. And that
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was just real story.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: They're full of shit, those guys over.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Sorry, when is the longest?
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I was eight weeks, so however many days that is?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And that was it was the year after Macy was
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: born in twenty twenty two.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, Why did you drink again after that little stint?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: So you were done? You had enough?
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I just needed like a reset like this one was
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: like a I just had a huge year on the
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: terms last year. Every two weeks it was like, oh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going away again. And then you go away on
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: these trips, you know what it's like. It's like They're
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: throwing free food at your free alcohol at you were
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: just like, oh, I just felt so unhealthy. That's why
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: this time has been really easy because I was ready
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: for it. The other times I had forced myself to
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: do it for relationships, like with April and my kids
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: and stuff. This was it still had a bit to
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: do with that, but it was I think I was
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: just ready and I was like and I also didn't
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: do that thing which a lot of people do, and especially.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Like dads and like people and men in their thirties.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I think we're invincible still where you go, I'm going
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to quit drinking and to become this athlete. You know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you just have to start running. The first week, I
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: just ate the house down. My god, well not a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: scaup of exercise.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Your Oreo intake is unbelievable. Yes, yeah, you need to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: get a sponsorship from them. I know, I've had to
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: cut down. We were away and she was like, Laura
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: was going to the shops and she put the call
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: out and said what do we need and Ash was
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: like seven packets of oreos And she was like, ah, no, seriously,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: what do you want And You're like make it eight.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I was not joking what so she thought I kept
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: was joking.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: I was like, damn it, man, I need more.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Bring them back. And then she came back and she
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: goes to me.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: The checkout lady was like, oh, the's on special or something. No,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: And I ate through every single one of those aureos
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: because I wasn't drinking and that's my was my vias
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: that and like I just had a carp of pepsi
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: max of the whole time.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: You love a little little biky and a little soft
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: drinking the mouth feel.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: For me, it's the mouth feel and then having something
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: in my hand. But I have done things healthier, like
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I'm still kind of eating whatever I want because I'm like,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not drinking, I'm exercising. I'm definitely doing that. I'm
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: just trying to be a bit more mindful just because
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: like I was just a loose cannon, which look I
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: kind of like. But then at the same time, it's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: like I need to sometimes like just take a moment
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: for myself to be like yeah, So I'm trying to
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: be a little bit more like that. And I walked
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: into my hair dressers the other day, my barber, if
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you will, and he said he goes, he just pointed
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: and goes, you want the zembies.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, for those losings, zembies, zembi And I
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: was like, oh no, but thank you. Well.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I was a lovely compliment and I was like, that's great.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: And I was like, so I was complimented and I
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: felt good.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Came home.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I said that to Ape but She's like, no, it's
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: lovely whatever. And then I went through Maca's drive through
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the same night, and I'm at the window and I've ordered,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting for my food, and the lady came out
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: she goes, do you still need that mcflurry? And I
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: was like yes.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: First of all, I was like, what what does she
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: mean by that?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Exactly? And I was like, oh, how dare you? But
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: two people were actually getting my food.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: She thinks.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I think she thought someone had already given it to me,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: But I took.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: It as if someone just said, But also, which one
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: is it that macis drive through?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: After being complimented about how skinny I was, I thought
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I've hearnded this.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine I was actually handing up a mcfluy
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Are you sure you want this?
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: That's that's how she said it. And that's how I
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: took it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: But then I know what I'm doing.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyways, I was both complimented and humbled very quickly
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: in the same day.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And what's your game plan here?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's what's made it a little bit easier
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: for me. I don't have because we were talking about it,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: because we did spend time together, which honestly, I had
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a great time.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Just want to let you know that's weird.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: We spent that New Year's period together, which I think
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: kind of helped me actually that I wasn't with my
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: PISCE head mates, because you're not overly a pis set.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: You'll have a drink and enjoy yourself, but you're also
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: mature enough to be like that's enough. My friend's like,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: love them, but Jesus. And we went to a winery
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: on New Year's Day just during the day for lunch
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: with which was lovely, wasn't too hot, it was nice.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: I'm really given the details of the story here. And
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I said, if I'm going to have a drink, I'm
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: going to have one. But then I also said to
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you at the bar, I said, if.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have one drink, I'm going to have thirty.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I was, I was, I was worried. I was like,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I wanted you to have a drink. Just one day
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is never enough, I know that. I was like, let's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: get ash out of here. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. The
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: guy who's having a spell off the drink is at
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a winery. Everyone is just pissed. Oh yeah. Like I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, I could do it. It's like biting
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a crackhead down to like a layer of crackdown. Ye
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: come over, outline, it's lovely shod see what we're done
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: with the plane. It was like that. I was like,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I did spend a lot of time trying to.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Be maybe spend more time with my kids to distract me,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: which I probably should do anyway.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: But I was like, I was actually quite proud of
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: myself that.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Afternoon when I left and I'd had fifteen coke zeros
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and yeah, but there's no that's just made it a
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: little bit easier. I think I don't have an end
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: goal on it, and I don't know when, so we'll
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: just see, I guess, but I follow through with that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Once again, I apologize for my remarks that I made
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: a little while ago. I'm very proud of you. Thank you.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I'm very proud of you. Thank you very much. Lots
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of people are like, do you feel better, do you
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: feel indifferent? Do you notice anything that's changed.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my brain chemistry is completely off, like like I
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with it. I'll have days
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: where I'm perfectly fine, and then I'll have days where
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not and I can't work it out.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And people have bad days. But I think as you're
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: not happy or you're anxious, all.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: The above, it's like it's sometimes it's like and April
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: will be like, what is going on up there? And
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I've described it to you before, what the inner working
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: is in my brains, Like it's like doing a monotonous task, okay,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, halfway through a song,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: it'll just come into my head and then go So,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: for example, I'll be folding the washing right, and then
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden like, mister world, what, I'm just
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: like fult But it'll be like that. But then all
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, it'll be the mood change.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But I think it's I also think it's holidays. Holidays
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that's over Christmas.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: It's the toughest time to do this. It's a weird
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: time when you've got kids.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Because also you're out of routine. You just like love
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: my kids to death, you know, I would do anything
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Every parent who wants to give the kids shit start
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: the purpose.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: But too much of a good thing, well said, it's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit bad.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like two or three days, I'm like, oh, you're
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: such a good thing.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: When you're going through that transition of not drinking, and
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: then in the mix, you're dealing with the fact that
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you're at a routine, your kids are yelling at you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: It is a tumultuous time. The weather it's hot like
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: forty degrees one day, it's to cycling the next.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: And as well, like Brooklyn back and breaking up with
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: his family, what the fuck.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: Is going on happening? I'm a celebrities not live. I
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: am boycotting.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it has been a tricky time and it
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: has really really pushed me to the edge of my patience,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: my mental health. But I tried to be more mindful
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: of it. So I'm really looking forward to these kids
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: to go back to school, but feeling good most of
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the time, but then I do have moments. Anyway, one
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: of my other resolutions was to lam Portuguese, which I've started.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I'm like thirty days to I was.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I was like wondering. One day when we were together,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, where's Ash? And then I looked at
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it and you're like, abregado alba, You're like fucking I
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: was like, having is he talking? And I'll give you
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: an update on that when I feel like I'm comfortable,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: give us something in Portuguese, say something, No, you just did,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I reget it. Give us something. Come on, there you go,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: good morning. That's all long given you? Wow? Wow, really
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: making me work for it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I just don't want I just want to be I
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: want to I want to be out conversational before I
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: can do it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: So then you're like, whoa, what's happened.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I'm working on it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: He just really quickly. A little update on Poppy. We
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: are now coming up to four months ASH and we
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: have made a decision, which is one that I knew
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was going to come, but I was hoping it would
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: be as late into her life as possible. Oh God,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: it's a sad day for me, and I think it's
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a sad day for all partners who are not the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: breastfeeding partner. Okay, Laura has made the decision to move
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to formula. That's quick, is it? No? The way that
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: she produces breast milk, in case she're wondering, I am wondering,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: don't you is she's like unbelievable For the first couple.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to see it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: First, she produces a lot of milk, and then it
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: takes she does, and then it tapes off pretty quickly,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Like she goes from producing heaps of milk to them.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: The supply drops down, and then Poppy's getting frustrated because
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: she's not getting as much as she needs.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Isn't supply also related to the baby too, like if
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: it's more that it feeds and more, Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Poppy's got a great appetite. She and then Laura got
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit sick while she was away. She got
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: strep throat and so she had a bit of time
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: where she was really struggling to eat. So that may
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: have impacted. But with with Marley and Lola, she stopped
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: breastfeeding around about the three month mark, so I knew
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that once we got to three months, I was like,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: every day, it's a blessing that she still breastfeeds, because
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: it was like two what the fuck? Sorry?
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Laura was breastfeed till she was three, explains its. Yeah, okay,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: so there's a there's a vast landscape. Yes, okay.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: But the reason why I'm upset, and this is very
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: selfish of me, in like, I'll be the first to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: admit this. So if you're listening, going, man, you're a dick.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I am a dick. I get it. You like to
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: drink it. I like to drink my wife's breast milk. No,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I it means that I was not having to wake
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night because Laura was.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: This is Laura's decision, not mine. She's like, I would
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: rather you sleep through the breastfeeds in the night, obviously
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: if I need help. There was times when she was like,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I can't settle alerk and you grab her. But she
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: would say, like, you get up first in the morning
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: when Marley and Laula wake up, So at six am,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I was up with the kids. Laura would have a
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: sleep in because she was up in the night. But
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: now we're in the bottle, I will be doing the
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: nighttime feeds.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: After a certain point, surely, Like it's like Laura's I
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: need to go off to bed now it gains We
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: were like, we will split it. Yeah, it was because
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I always say, and I've said it before, two half
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: rested people do not equal a fully rested person.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Well, so thank you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: So like her like, there's nothing you can do if
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: she's breastfeeding the middle or night, and that goes for
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: any dads that are are expecting and it's going to
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: be breastfed baby.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, there's.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Nothing really you can do but get water. Once you've
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: done that, you've ticked the box. Really make sure that
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: she's comfortable. But a lot of the time it's like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: if you're both tired, then who's going to deal with
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the other kids next day? And then also deal with
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: each other?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we didn't see any point in it,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and there are there are people out there. As a
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: dad I spoke to he was like, oh no, I
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: get woken up for those breastfeeds and I have to
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: be up as much as she's ay, And I was like,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: what for, But hey, if that works for you.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like with my first I had to
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: be that person. Sure, I just felt bad. Yeah, you know,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: like and like I'm a pretty light sleeper anyway, I
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: would like to think, and I was like up anyway,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: but we were both exhausted instead of someone And then
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: with Macy we learned our lesson and thought, okay, well
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I slept in the laund room for nine months, best
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: nine months in my life. Right now I had like
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: my own house without everyone else.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: It's great.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: But also I had oscared to look after. But yeah,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I think, like split it up now again.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so now now I'm having to throw it to
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the plate, which is a shame. And also the other transition,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: which I think a lot of people who have younger
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: children who are like in the early stages within twelve
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: months would know that this is a stage, a milestone
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: if you will. She rolls over rolling, she's full rolling,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: so we can no longer. I may be wrong here
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: if you're listening and you're like, that's not the right thing,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Matt tell me in a gender way. But we don't
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: strap her down both arms.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: First of all, strap her down.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: We have a sleep suit.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, sleep shit where we in?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you don't do that anymore. So we know,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: we keep the arms out so she can so she
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: can yeah, which like the first week of her arms
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: being out night man like, she was like, what are these?
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, scratch.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Themselves and shit. Look over and she's like ripping her
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: eye out. I'm like, don't do that. She's like, why not,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: poor thing?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: So she's yeah, is she going to her own room
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: yet or no?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: That happens like twelve months, dude, Oscars two weeks out
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of our room. He was so noisy.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's but to be fair, I spent majority of
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: beside me his room anyway.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Don't judge me on this, but Laura has a polarates
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: machine in the room that is for Poppy. Oh yeah,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: we don't want to lose. She don't want to lose
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the pilates machines the Reformer if you the Reformer, Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: So that's that's her room. That's our nursery. Isn't it funny?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Baby number one? You're like this beautiful nursery that's set
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: up up with like artwork and cushions and rugs and
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: change table, a pubby it's a fucking Reformer polities machine.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: We had this conversation where the room wasn't ready yet
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: and I said, I guarantee you after four months of
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the room still not ready boom, and it's still not ready.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Does that feel good? Yeah?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: It does makes me feel great, poppy, very cute.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: And I obviously spent a couple days with the down
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: South and I held her once and that was enough?
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Did you though? You sort of plumped her on me?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: And I was like, ah, I'm more of a bigger
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: kid sort of guy like teenagers, but you did something
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: which baffled me. And I'm late thirties now a whole
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: little bit that I'm going to own that. And I
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: didn't know that you could do this, and I could
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: be wrong, and I could also be very stupid right now,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: very very very vulnerable. You opened the dishwasher mid cycle,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: and for a second I held my breath. Yeah, and
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I thought, you can't do that, It'll all come out,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: and it didn't.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: You don't. You don't put the dishwalls.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I have never opened it up midsicle. I'm too scared
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: you well, because I always changed my life.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I always put the dishwash you're on. And then I go,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: oh God, I look at the coffee table and there's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: a cup there.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I just think too bad. No, I just think it's
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: like left behind.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: It's not like a plane taking off that you know
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: once you press go, it's gone.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I thought it was no you can.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you want it to be with I
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: kind of My little rule is within the first ten minutes,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: you're allowed to reopen and put it in there so
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: it does get clean. You don't want to in the
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: last five minutes of the cycle put something in there.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know how did you know where it was
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: up to I was in the same room as you.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. I just I can tell I have
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: like a six thing. Yeah, I can hear. I hear it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: That's on rints.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: I said to April. I was like, you're not going
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: to believe this, and she was like, what it was like?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Matt open dish washing mid cycle and we both went
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: everyone's doing that, but you didn't get a drop on
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the ground.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Of course not because they're designed to do that. I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: full disclosure. I bought the same dish washer the Fisher
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: and parcles was just fishering and g isn't it fuck?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: So now I can't open my wine. I'm too scared
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: to open the cam Bro double after.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: This record to put a cycle on it. We'll stop
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: it after five minutes. Okay, all right, I'm excited.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Fuck screw stuff, let's go.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: You blow me away. I've been talking about it since
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: that was weeks ago. Okay, to everyone on the street,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what made j guy from the Bachelor?
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: He's not from the Bachelor anymost for the guy who
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: can open a dishwashing midsize if.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: You are someone who works in the dishwashing industry, a dishwasher,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: if you will tell me if I'm ruining the machine,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: let me know.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure you got that.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it's an LG. You got I'm pretty
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: sure it's fine, pretty sure it's an I'm prettyure it's
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I do installmine myself.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: That was another resolution we've missed. What's that be less pathetic?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: No, that's yeah, that's going to terrible. Speak for yourself, bro.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: The di'swasher was at the end of the line of
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: a long string.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Of things that happened over this year already where I
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: bought paint samples and painted house.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Sorry, so this is how this went down.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I bought paint samples and then April came home and
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I painted the whole house.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: That's how that worked, and that should be the test
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: for ADHD. Give you give them a paint sample and
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you go just paint a little bit on your wall,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and if they go and paint the whole house, ADHD.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Literally when one stroke went, that's it went back to
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the shop.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Done.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: House is done. And of course I just dist did
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: the walls. I'm like, I'm just going to do the walls,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: okay for now. Did the walls and then I was
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: like fuck. Then I was like okay, but I did
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: door frames and the doors yeh okay. So I did that,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: and of course naturally did that. We need your door handles,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: your door handles.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, they look great.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: You did the doorhandles, all the door handles. Then naturally
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I the door handle. So I had to do the
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: cabinet handles to match the door handles. So now all
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the kitchen cabinet handles are also the same color and matching.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Then I had to replaced all the hooks in the
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: bathroom because they didn't match the cabinets. And then I
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: had to look at the laundry and realize that the laundry,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: nothing in the laundry matched out here. So then I
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: had to cut the laundry, paint the laundry, and then
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: put new door handle on to match that. And then
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I realized the dishwasher didn't match the fixture.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Every apartment in the complex all matches.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: We're getting there. So what I had to do was
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I had to get a new dishwasher. The other one
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: was fine, but I hated it and I didn't match.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: So I installed that.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: And now that's that we're at. Now I have a
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: whole toolbox.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: What you're trying to say is I'm less you do
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: this all because we had the resolution of the pathetic.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Well fuck, well, why don't you tell me the fence?
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I did the fence. I did a couple of panels.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: You have a lawn, bro, I don't have a lawn.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I I got a couple of fence panels from Palings, Palings, Palings.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I had a word work work a builder is like
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: a chippy's shirt that I wore to Bunnings, which was
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: then embarrassing because I was asking really dumb questions. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, excuse me, where are the fence posts?
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: He was like, what what are you talking about? And
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, what screws do I use? And I
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: was being spoon fed whilst I was in like steel
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: caps and a fucking workshirt. It's the effort that counts, Matt,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: and I think you did the I saw all the paling.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Normally I would go wearing crocs and like a like
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: old surf T shirt, and I was like, oh God.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: As I was in the car park, I was like, fuck,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: look at what I'm wearing. I'm dressed up like a
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: builder going in not knowing anything and asking non builders.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, what's this? He's like a hammer.
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: I was like, wow, so.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: We're working on the pathetic thing.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Then, yes, okay, we will. We will be better this year.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I've already started. Matt's done a fence, he's got a
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: lawn that he likes, and we're good to go.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Can I just say, if you have any parenting related questions,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: please send it to us, because at the moment the
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: mailbox obviously people everyone's taking a break. We need we
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: need them in the mailbox to open them up. What
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, I would say, that's well said,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: specific and well said.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I have just a little hack to finish on today
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: really quick that I have been using this whole school,
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: holidays and there's a couple of weeks ago, and I
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: will continue to do.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: So Oscar is at that age where they.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Just continually ask questions and NonStop, and it's like I've
• 42:31

• 42:34
  Speaker 2: has now with a really simple line that's going to
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: help parents get through the rest of the holidays. Go. So,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Oscar asked me a questions, right, so ask me a
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: question that Oscar would.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Ask, Hey, Dad, what kind of bird is that? Ah,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you'll understand when you're older. What you got? Why do
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I need to have worming?
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: It's funny you ask that asker, You'll understand when you're older.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: So you're just avoiding roaks a tree.
• 43:02
