- 0:00Speaker 1: You are looking a little bit red in the sun.
- 0:04Speaker 1: So embarrassed. What happened? I have so neck?
- 0:08Speaker 2: You know?
- 0:08Speaker 1: Damn? Well what happened? You get started?
- 0:13Speaker 3: Welcome, Welcome back to two Darting Dads.
- 0:31Speaker 2: I'm Manage and this is a podcast all about parenting.
- 0:35Speaker 2: It is the good, it is the bad.
- 0:36Speaker 1: And one thing we will never ever ever do.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Even if our lives depended on it. Well, well I
- 0:45Speaker 2: probably would in that case, but I was just trying
- 0:47Speaker 2: to be dramatic. We will never give advice, No, never
- 0:50Speaker 2: give advice. But we are back from the snow. We
- 0:54Speaker 2: have returned to the motherland.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Well have we returned? And I guess so some of
- 1:02Speaker 1: us are rather than others. Yeah, what's the deal with
- 1:06Speaker 1: the red five? Some of us has some injuries? Ash,
- 1:12Speaker 1: Why do I always get hurt?
- 1:15Speaker 2: I actually I don't know what's happened, But the first
- 1:18Speaker 2: hour of the day I can barely move.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I'm still I have to, like, it must be nice
- 1:24Speaker 1: to be able to move. Take your neck brace off,
- 1:28Speaker 1: for God's sake, it is uncomfortable. Can I take it off? Please?
- 1:31Speaker 1: We tell people what happened though, Yeah, oh god, it's
- 1:37Speaker 1: like I can imagine that's what it's like when women
- 1:39Speaker 1: take their bra off at the end of the day.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Am I right? Sorry? I said, I can imagine that's
- 1:46Speaker 1: what it's like. I don't know, but I guess that's
- 1:49Speaker 1: what it would feel like.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Well said, we were at the Snow, we were at Parashat.
- 1:54Speaker 2: It was a journey that was not without its mistakes.
- 1:58Speaker 1: It's a lot of effort, would be honest.
- 2:01Speaker 2: You know what, Let's start from the beginning.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Let's do that. It's a very long drive. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 2:08Speaker 1: we split it that. What do you mean, Yeah, it
- 2:10Speaker 1: is a long drive. We split it up though. I
- 2:12Speaker 1: think that was the smart joint drive like a maniac.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I did really hook it when it was my turn.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I'm waiting for the speed fins to come through in that.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Car, and then I'm going to disappear.
- 2:22Speaker 2: I made a mistake. I put my hand up. I
- 2:23Speaker 2: did something wrong. Sure, sure, I booked the wrong accommodation.
- 2:27Speaker 2: We had a night in Canberra before then making our
- 2:30Speaker 2: way back onto the Snow. The next morning. We checked
- 2:33Speaker 2: it at nine o'clock.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Well, we tried to check in at nine o'clock. Let
- 2:36Speaker 1: me just correct you. There. I was in the car
- 2:38Speaker 1: because it was my stint you're like, I'll get out,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I'll sort this out. I'm like, beautiful, off you go.
- 2:43Speaker 2: And the lady was like, what's your name please. I
- 2:45Speaker 2: said it's Matt Johnson because I made the booking. And
- 2:47Speaker 2: she goes, it's not there, and I said amateur, So
- 2:51Speaker 2: whipped out my phone gave her the book in confirmation.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I said, here it is.
- 2:55Speaker 2: I think that'll answer any questions that you have, ma'am
- 2:58Speaker 2: about this situation. And she go, oh, there's a mistake here,
- 3:01Speaker 2: and I was like, I don't make my sack somehow, somehow, Okay,
- 3:09Speaker 2: I have booked it for twenty twenty six.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Not even the same month though, for January. Why why
- 3:18Speaker 1: did you do that?
- 3:19Speaker 2: In my defense, yeah, because I think it's like the
- 3:22Speaker 2: Midwinter Ball.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I think that happens around this time.
- 3:26Speaker 2: One of the busiest weekends in the history of Canberra.
- 3:29Speaker 1: There was a lot of peace politicians. When we turned
- 3:31Speaker 1: up that way, busloads off them. Oh man, it was
- 3:34Speaker 1: like the old feeling onto the road and I'm like,
- 3:36Speaker 1: it's good to see how tax dollars got a bunch
- 3:40Speaker 1: of pierce heat. They like, where is the karaoke? Yeah,
- 3:42Speaker 1: they're trying to kick on a carryog. I'm pretty sure
- 3:44Speaker 1: they're trying to usher them back to bed.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I'm pleading for a bed and they're like, we're
- 3:48Speaker 2: booked out. I'm so sorry you cannot stay here.
- 3:51Speaker 1: But you came back to the car with a very
- 3:53Speaker 1: sheepish look on your face because you don't often get
- 3:55Speaker 1: things wrong. I'm going to be give you a little
- 3:57Speaker 1: compliment there. Thank you, I'll take that. And you opened
- 4:00Speaker 1: the door and you gave me a look, and I
- 4:02Speaker 1: knew immediately something wasn't right. I was like, what have
- 4:05Speaker 1: you done? And you admitted that you've booked it for January.
- 4:09Speaker 1: But the funny thing was is that we were meant
- 4:12Speaker 1: to be meeting someone in the lobby there, so we
- 4:15Speaker 1: had to do the walk of shame. Who went to
- 4:17Speaker 1: Peppers down the road? Yeah, we managed to get a
- 4:19Speaker 1: room drop three point fifty for a beautiful room, a
- 4:23Speaker 1: disabled room.
- 4:24Speaker 2: She was like, only we only have one room left
- 4:27Speaker 2: in that whole hotel. It's a disabled room. And I
- 4:30Speaker 2: was like, totally fine.
- 4:31Speaker 1: It's a room that's catered for those that need assistance,
- 4:34Speaker 1: easy access, easy access. It had railings in the shower,
- 4:38Speaker 1: railings around the talk, which honestly, I don't mind. But yeah,
- 4:43Speaker 1: what was concerning I think, and I think you're about
- 4:46Speaker 1: to say it was that she was like, you better
- 4:48Speaker 1: just check this room first.
- 4:49Speaker 2: I went to go page goes whoaha, whoah, whah, whoah,
- 4:52Speaker 2: you better look at the room first, And I was like.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Where is what hotel? Is this? We saw her and
- 4:57Speaker 1: we were like, this is this is heaven? This is perfect. Yeah,
- 5:00Speaker 1: it was fine. One little bed. Which also concerning she
- 5:03Speaker 1: knocked before we looked at it.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Yeah, she was like, Jimmy, we're coming in now.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I know. I was like, Jimmy, I was like, why
- 5:11Speaker 1: would you need to knock if the room's not rented out?
- 5:14Speaker 1: But I woke up. I got pink eye from Ash.
- 5:18Speaker 1: We did do a bit of a story arc that
- 5:19Speaker 1: seemed like we were on a gaycation.
- 5:22Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway from this trip is the fact that
- 5:26Speaker 2: it's okay to make mistakes. But second to that, the
- 5:29Speaker 2: snow is not for the faint of heart.
- 5:32Speaker 1: No. I feel like everything takes twice as long, everything's
- 5:37Speaker 1: twice as heavy, and it's cold. Oh yeah, I'll get that,
- 5:41Speaker 1: twice as cold as everywhere else on earth. And like
- 5:45Speaker 1: it didn't really help that, Like there was a big downpour.
- 5:47Speaker 1: The weather wasn't amazing, but the visibility was terrible. But
- 5:51Speaker 1: we had a great time. So my first time snowboarding,
- 5:54Speaker 1: you did very well. Thank you very well.
- 5:56Speaker 2: I want to know, be honest out there. If you're
- 5:59Speaker 2: a parent, okay, and I'm not talking about those types
- 6:02Speaker 2: of people who are like Olympic level skiers or snowboarders.
- 6:06Speaker 1: Rich people.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Yeah, the rich people. If you're a rich pass off,
- 6:09Speaker 2: stop listening, but actually we need to come back. But
- 6:15Speaker 2: if you're just a normal, run of the mill family, honestly,
- 6:19Speaker 2: hand on heart, do you enjoy going to the snow
- 6:22Speaker 2: with your kids?
- 6:23Speaker 1: I think when you when.
- 6:25Speaker 2: You weigh it all up, when you look at the
- 6:27Speaker 2: tantrums and you look at the money, are you having
- 6:30Speaker 2: a good time overall?
- 6:31Speaker 1: Surely? Not right. There's a mixture of there's a mixture
- 6:34Speaker 1: of different families that I did see along the way.
- 6:38Speaker 1: There was the little three year old girl with her
- 6:40Speaker 1: dad having a great time. I was c she was skiing,
- 6:44Speaker 1: dad was happy, everyone was happy. They probably they probably
- 6:47Speaker 1: had a moment in their lives, you know.
- 6:49Speaker 2: In five minutes time. She was having a meltdown, for sure,
- 6:52Speaker 2: you know that for sure.
- 6:53Speaker 1: But at that moment, I am just like, she's great, Yeah,
- 6:55Speaker 1: that's how I'm seeing. I didn't see the melt And
- 6:57Speaker 1: then I walking through the Skeich tube hallway and there's
- 7:01Speaker 1: a mum with her kid around a similar age, and
- 7:04Speaker 1: that kid screaming on the floor as she tries to
- 7:07Speaker 1: heave a ski boot off this kid's foot, and I
- 7:10Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is not worth it, right, And
- 7:14Speaker 1: then you saw a pram like yes, I didn't even
- 7:18Speaker 1: have chains on its tires, and there was no baby.
- 7:21Speaker 2: He was carrying a bugaboo pram across the snow baby less.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I can only assume that he's just jumped it. It's
- 7:29Speaker 1: just like you know, they're on a mountain, it'll get
- 7:31Speaker 1: to the bottom.
- 7:32Speaker 2: It was like there was one point as well. On
- 7:35Speaker 2: them were like coming down the mountain on our snowboards.
- 7:38Speaker 2: And there was a child like starfish laying on its
- 7:42Speaker 2: back screaming.
- 7:43Speaker 1: The parent was going get up, Billy, God, damn it.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That was me.
- 7:49Speaker 2: And I was thinking to myself, Ah, I don't know
- 7:52Speaker 2: if I want to pay like thousands of dollars to
- 7:55Speaker 2: have a meltdown, screaming match of a fight with my child.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Mark my words, I will never here we go. Ever
- 8:03Speaker 1: take my kids to the snow? Wow? Never, never, ever, ever,
- 8:10Speaker 1: not while they're okay, hang on, let me rephrase that.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Don't backtrack on it. Now. They have to be over
- 8:16Speaker 1: sixteen for me to take them fourteen sixteen, because then
- 8:20Speaker 1: they can probably have a job and pay any way.
- 8:23Speaker 1: But I'm like, as kids as they are now, where
- 8:25Speaker 1: it's like I'm meant to be the responsible adult. No,
- 8:29Speaker 1: that would look way more trouble. It was enough trouble
- 8:32Speaker 1: just being with me, and I'm me You're right. I
- 8:34Speaker 1: was exhausted. I know, I can feel it. That drive home,
- 8:37Speaker 1: I was like, God's good to get a break from that.
- 8:39Speaker 1: You were lonely.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I drove back by myself, and those seven hours no
- 8:45Speaker 2: one wanted to talk to me.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I called Laura. I was like, hey baby, She's like, hey,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you called me.
- 8:51Speaker 4: Bro.
- 8:52Speaker 1: We've just spent three days together in a car. You
- 8:55Speaker 1: were hungry most of it, so I had to try
- 8:57Speaker 1: and appease you the whole time, and then now call
- 9:00Speaker 1: me to belay, Hey, what do you do anyway? We're
- 9:03Speaker 1: back in one piece? Well, one piece. I did fall
- 9:06Speaker 1: a lot. You did exceptionally well. I'm very proud of you.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I did hit the fence.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We need to talk about housekeeping, we do.
- 9:13Speaker 1: I love that. We need to talk about it all week.
- 9:17Speaker 2: A couple of messages. Last week you told a story
- 9:19Speaker 2: about being on a flight back home. Soone next to
- 9:21Speaker 2: you eight eggs the eggs. Yeah, actually a lot of people.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I can't look at eggs the same anymore like eggs.
- 9:26Speaker 1: I love eggs. I do love eggs.
- 9:28Speaker 2: They've been really they've been tarnished.
- 9:30Speaker 1: They just need to be not hard boiled.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Well, you actually haven't been too hard done by.
- 9:36Speaker 1: It's not your best work, but it's good.
- 9:37Speaker 2: It's not my best I am good enough for me.
- 9:39Speaker 2: Just really quickly before I get into these messages. Marley's
- 9:42Speaker 2: will into jokes at the moment, and just because of
- 9:44Speaker 2: the really shit joke that I told, Marley thinks that
- 9:46Speaker 2: if words rhyme.
- 9:48Speaker 1: It's a joke. She's not wrong.
- 9:50Speaker 2: So she's like, why did the chicken across the road?
- 9:53Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know. She's like to see
- 9:54Speaker 2: the toad road.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Toad very good, I think, But I'm that creative.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not a joke. It runs us.
- 10:02Speaker 1: That's a poem. Confusing different Ah. Yes, two people wrote
- 10:08Speaker 1: in for very two people's.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Holly says, ashes rant from last week is definitely valid.
- 10:15Speaker 2: He cannot be judged for having a late night.
- 10:17Speaker 1: What yeah, because I was hungover. Relax, Holly, Holy loves me.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Thanks for validating me, Holly.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Being hungover and being sensitive to smell. I am pregnant
- 10:27Speaker 2: with my first baby and have been very ill with
- 10:29Speaker 2: morning sickness all day.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I was recently. I was sorry. I was recently on
- 10:33Speaker 1: a flight next to someone who brought curry on board.
- 10:36Speaker 1: The absolute worst.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Cheez, what kind of curriage?
- 10:41Speaker 1: Right to jail? So they should be there should be
- 10:44Speaker 1: air marshals dragging that person off the plane immediately.
- 10:49Speaker 2: It's like vaping. It's like there's no vaping. There's a
- 10:51Speaker 2: curry on this fly.
- 10:52Speaker 1: You might as well bring a dead fish and put
- 10:56Speaker 1: it in a microwave. Oh I remember those people had fish,
- 11:00Speaker 1: were at like work, and I put it in. Oh God,
- 11:03Speaker 1: you would you like salmon? Ah free? I will not
- 11:08Speaker 1: be attacked.
- 11:09Speaker 2: To my own podcast, Haiti says, I was on a short,
- 11:12Speaker 2: one hour domestic flight and the girl next to me started.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Painting her nails. The whole plane stunk of now polish.
- 11:20Speaker 1: I kind of like.
- 11:21Speaker 2: That she got told to put it away, but the
- 11:26Speaker 2: damage had already been done.
- 11:27Speaker 1: A loll Oh my goodness. It's just like no self awareness.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I kind of like the arrogance of just you know,
- 11:35Speaker 2: like it's like, fuck it.
- 11:36Speaker 1: It's like just like getting on a plane and whipping
- 11:38Speaker 1: out your feet and cutting your toenails. Don't that as well?
- 11:43Speaker 1: As you've got some housekeeping? I do? How have I
- 11:48Speaker 1: forgotten Father's Day surfing? Oh shit? Fuck? Excuse me? I
- 11:55Speaker 1: do have some housekeeping for us and the listeners laughing
- 12:00Speaker 1: at me. Sorry, sorry, sorry, it's actually not housekeeping. It's
- 12:03Speaker 1: a giveaway. We got a giveaway. We do have a giveaway.
- 12:06Speaker 1: We are giving away five pro model jam Pikelet's soft
- 12:09Speaker 1: top foamy surfboards for your dad this summer. But that's
- 12:13Speaker 1: not all. You'll get a personal message from me for
- 12:16Speaker 1: Father's Day. I don't think they want that. All you
- 12:20Speaker 1: have to do is this look. Fuck's this guy? He
- 12:23Speaker 1: looks funny? Why's he so read? All you have to
- 12:30Speaker 1: do is tag a dad in this post? And what
- 12:34Speaker 1: maybe just a couple of words a while your dad
- 12:35Speaker 1: is a shredder, and we'll pick five, we'll announce it,
- 12:38Speaker 1: we'll send them out. They'll be they'll be in your
- 12:41Speaker 1: hands for twenty sixth summer. You'll figure it out.
- 12:45Speaker 2: That's okay, And I think on that note, that is
- 12:47Speaker 2: the end of house.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Cat ah A shame, it damn shame.
- 12:53Speaker 2: A lot of people have been asking me about the
- 12:56Speaker 2: whereabouts of the one and only Ellie Johnson aka Nana. Yes,
- 13:01Speaker 2: she is still living here. She has been a little
- 13:03Speaker 2: bit quiet.
- 13:04Speaker 1: People thought she died, but we've checked her pulse still there.
- 13:07Speaker 1: She's just resting.
- 13:08Speaker 2: She is just resting a little bit cold. But it's
- 13:10Speaker 2: because it's winter. Yes, it's winter. But she she has
- 13:14Speaker 2: had surgery and I thought we would peel her out
- 13:17Speaker 2: of her bedroom. She is in recovery phase at the moment.
- 13:20Speaker 2: She's very drugged up on painkillers. But let's get a
- 13:23Speaker 2: little check in with Nana.
- 13:25Speaker 1: You have a sling on, a very technical looking one.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It's got clips, valka, it's got it all. Everyone was
- 13:31Speaker 1: asking if you're alive.
- 13:32Speaker 5: You are I am alive.
- 13:34Speaker 1: This is ai voice. She has come so far.
- 13:38Speaker 2: I told someone yesterday that she got a boob job. Yes,
- 13:45Speaker 2: for those who don't know Ellie, I did do a
- 13:48Speaker 2: post about it the other day. But what prestige wasn't
- 13:52Speaker 2: a boob job.
- 13:53Speaker 5: So I tore my rotator cuff? Yeah, well how did
- 14:00Speaker 5: you tear it?
- 14:01Speaker 1: Oh?
- 14:02Speaker 5: That's complicated because they thought I'd freight it over time
- 14:06Speaker 5: and then something innoc you was something little just to it.
- 14:12Speaker 5: Yet that happens to elderly people.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Afraid I'm waiting for Ash to make a joke about masturbating.
- 14:19Speaker 5: Well, there was a reference to that in my story anyway.
- 14:24Speaker 5: So yeah, So I had to have had to have
- 14:26Speaker 5: surgery because surgeon said if I didn't, the rip would
- 14:30Speaker 5: get longer and my shoulder would just pop through when
- 14:33Speaker 5: I'd need a whole shoulder reconstruction. So I had to
- 14:36Speaker 5: do it exactly.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah, and look at that age. What do you do?
- 14:41Speaker 1: Do you?
- 14:41Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 14:46Speaker 5: You know that is a genuine question.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You know what's really funny? Buster only has three legs.
- 14:53Speaker 1: You nearly could have been matching.
- 14:54Speaker 5: Yes, but does Buster drive? Does he cook? Does he do?
- 15:01Speaker 1: Imagine behind a wheel of a motor vehicle? Oh my god?
- 15:05Speaker 1: What was the last time you drive in Brisbane? And hole?
- 15:08Speaker 1: Long ago?
- 15:08Speaker 6: Was that?
- 15:08Speaker 1: Well, there's a horse and carsle.
- 15:13Speaker 5: No, I don't drive in Sydney. I have to admit
- 15:17Speaker 5: it was.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Tough for us.
- 15:18Speaker 2: We had we had the choice of, like, you know,
- 15:20Speaker 2: we're going to losing Nana for six weeks, eight weeks
- 15:24Speaker 2: right at the time, and when Laura is about to
- 15:26Speaker 2: give birth.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Extremely selfish if you ask me. But but you all
- 15:32Speaker 1: said do it.
- 15:33Speaker 5: So I blame you guys.
- 15:35Speaker 1: You'll be better for it.
- 15:37Speaker 5: Well that is the hope that the outcome is a
- 15:39Speaker 5: good one, okay. Yeah, So so I went in had
- 15:43Speaker 5: the procedure, and you know, the doctor came in after
- 15:48Speaker 5: surgery and said, oh, that was much longer than we thought,
- 15:52Speaker 5: and your bones were a bit spongy, which is not.
- 15:56Speaker 1: What you want to be because of your age.
- 15:58Speaker 5: He said, it's quite normal. So we had to put
- 16:00Speaker 5: screws in much further into the bone.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Like a rotten piece of wood.
- 16:05Speaker 5: Well you could say that.
- 16:07Speaker 1: That's a very good analogy. It's bad analogy.
- 16:10Speaker 5: A rotten piece of wood. That really makes me feel good.
- 16:15Speaker 1: But you know, I love you though he loves wood.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I'm a wood guy.
- 16:19Speaker 5: Yeah, so there you go. Had the surgery and I
- 16:22Speaker 5: thought was all kind of going okay because they put
- 16:25Speaker 5: this block into your shoulder, which gives you twenty four
- 16:29Speaker 5: hours anesthetic so you don't feel your shoulder when you
- 16:32Speaker 5: wake up at all. It's numbing.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Fair, I would love some of that.
- 16:35Speaker 5: Everything was going fine, but I have to say now,
- 16:40Speaker 5: Ash and Jess Matt will know this. I am very accident.
- 16:47Speaker 1: I know that too. I know that now.
- 16:50Speaker 5: Something's happened my design. You know, I do something silly,
- 16:54Speaker 5: I'm clumsy. Other things just happened, and I haven't no
- 17:00Speaker 5: idea how it came about, no idea.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Just before we go into that, she says, you won't
- 17:05Speaker 1: know this about me. We had you on when you
- 17:08Speaker 1: went to Europe, and it was accident after accident. I'm
- 17:11Speaker 1: well aware of igot.
- 17:15Speaker 5: I had forgotten that.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Anyway, go on. Sorry.
- 17:17Speaker 5: So there i am middle of the night in bed
- 17:21Speaker 5: and I'm post surgery, post surgery, so I'm waking up
- 17:27Speaker 5: and I'm vaguely aware that the bed is wet. Oh no,
- 17:32Speaker 5: And I'm thinking, oh my god.
- 17:34Speaker 1: When you say vaguely aware, because you're.
- 17:37Speaker 5: Still asleep and I'm post surgery and there's still it's crazy,
- 17:41Speaker 5: it's hazy, and I'm thinking, oh, I'm embarrassing. Wet the bed.
- 17:48Speaker 5: So I put the light on and I swear to you,
- 17:53Speaker 5: I look down at the bed. It's like a Tarantino
- 17:56Speaker 5: movie and it's just covered in blood.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Oh your blood, my blood.
- 18:02Speaker 5: I mean, I'm thinking my blood, and I'm thinking, where
- 18:06Speaker 5: the hell did how did this happen?
- 18:08Speaker 1: Wow?
- 18:10Speaker 5: And so then what I have to say though, before
- 18:14Speaker 5: you go into surgery, that they put a canula in
- 18:17Speaker 5: your hand, you know.
- 18:18Speaker 1: That little oh yes, yeah?
- 18:20Speaker 5: And I was linked up to a drip somehow, without
- 18:26Speaker 5: my knowing, without feeling anything. Somehow in the night, I
- 18:32Speaker 5: had torn this canula out of my hand and ripped
- 18:40Speaker 5: my veins and it was just bleeding everywhere.
- 18:45Speaker 1: And you were asleep, so you could have let out.
- 18:47Speaker 5: I didn't even know that I'd done it.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Why is no one checking on Nana.
- 18:52Speaker 5: Then I looked at the end of this four inch
- 18:55Speaker 5: needle that was.
- 18:58Speaker 1: Goodness out of.
- 18:59Speaker 5: My hand, and I noticed it's still pumping from the drip.
- 19:05Speaker 5: That's that's next to the bed that should have been
- 19:09Speaker 5: pumping into me. But it was pumping, and that was
- 19:11Speaker 5: why the bed was wet. And so it does. The
- 19:14Speaker 5: whole thing was.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Being pumped in. So there's the pump. There's a mixture
- 19:22Speaker 1: of the ivy.
- 19:23Speaker 5: So there's a mixture of this iv being pumped. And
- 19:26Speaker 5: I just still see it going out of the need.
- 19:29Speaker 1: And because you know when you mix blood and water.
- 19:34Speaker 5: It really spreads anyway. So what do I do? I
- 19:37Speaker 5: call a nurse. This nurse walks in and she stands
- 19:43Speaker 5: there and she goes, oh my god, what were you
- 19:47Speaker 5: doing during the night. I don't know what I did
- 19:53Speaker 5: and she looks at me.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Wow.
- 19:57Speaker 5: So then the process of change all the bed and
- 20:02Speaker 5: cleaning up everything, getting a doctor in to put the
- 20:06Speaker 5: canula back into my hand, and I'm thinking, how did
- 20:11Speaker 5: this happen to me? Why does this.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Happen to me?
- 20:15Speaker 5: So I was all cleaned up and very went. I
- 20:18Speaker 5: kept a kind of a low profile, thinking they already
- 20:20Speaker 5: think I'm a nutcase. But the disconcerting thing was that
- 20:24Speaker 5: with the change of staff in the morning, the night
- 20:27Speaker 5: nurse came in with three other new nurses.
- 20:30Speaker 1: This is the troublemaker, yes.
- 20:33Speaker 5: And well, well they didn't say anything. They just came
- 20:36Speaker 5: in and I heard the nightmurs and I'm sure she
- 20:40Speaker 5: was said, this is the nutcase who rips and she
- 20:46Speaker 5: bleeds everywhere.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Just want to keep your eye on that one. No
- 20:49Speaker 1: one likes that.
- 20:50Speaker 5: So that was a little experience I could have.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Wow, you could have bled out you could bloody made
- 20:57Speaker 1: a joke like this might be the last video we
- 20:59Speaker 1: ever do before you went into I did do that. Really,
- 21:03Speaker 1: I was just thinking that.
- 21:05Speaker 5: How can you wrap a four inch needle RepU vein.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Someone who's got experience with things that are four inches
- 21:14Speaker 2: take it.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Away three inches? That's very funny. I was going to say.
- 21:19Speaker 1: You started to talk about changing the sheets and stuff,
- 21:21Speaker 1: and I just got PTSD immediately because changing sheets in
- 21:24Speaker 1: the middle of the night.
- 21:27Speaker 5: Yeah. Anyway, So here I am now.
- 21:31Speaker 1: And I guess it's been a week.
- 21:33Speaker 5: Is it's been one week?
- 21:35Speaker 1: How things tracking? If you had to check up yet?
- 21:37Speaker 5: Tomorrow I see the surgeon tomorrow. Hopefully they'll say it's
- 21:41Speaker 5: all good.
- 21:42Speaker 1: She's still I've got to knock her over and be like,
- 21:45Speaker 1: get out of the she just do.
- 21:47Speaker 5: I don't do too much now.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Doing the dishwasher last night, I was like, we've just
- 21:50Speaker 1: got another hand, right. Actually, I was going to say,
- 21:54Speaker 1: the kitchene is a good spruce.
- 21:56Speaker 2: She was trying to make some raisin toast this morning
- 21:58Speaker 2: with one the razor just kept escaping her. She was
- 22:02Speaker 2: trying to put butter on it like that, just ask
- 22:05Speaker 2: for help.
- 22:07Speaker 1: What are you doing. What is it with your generation
- 22:10Speaker 1: and not asking for help? Yeah? What is that generation?
- 22:14Speaker 1: Just ask for help? The other day I went to
- 22:17Speaker 1: my grandmother's not that you're the same generation, she's just
- 22:21Speaker 1: in she's very old. You're young and sprightly. I'm trying
- 22:25Speaker 1: not to get canceled. And I went round to her
- 22:28Speaker 1: house and she's on the roof. What are you doing
- 22:32Speaker 1: on the roof? And she was like, one of the
- 22:36Speaker 1: what are the roof tiles? Is lobbing. I'm like, okay,
- 22:39Speaker 1: two questions, how did you figure that out? And to
- 22:42Speaker 1: how the fuck did you get up there? Anyway, she's
- 22:44Speaker 1: got the extension ladder out, she's on the eighty eight.
- 22:48Speaker 2: No god, yeah, credit to a little bit of inheritance
- 22:52Speaker 2: wouldn't be too bad right now.
- 22:54Speaker 1: I could use the cash nn So get back up
- 22:55Speaker 1: on the roof after it rained. Well, Nana talks about
- 22:58Speaker 1: the nurse coming in. Bet you any money. She was
- 23:01Speaker 1: there one handed trying to change the sheet. Where's the
- 23:05Speaker 1: linen covered?
- 23:09Speaker 2: Still spurt and blood. She walks down the hallway. I'm
- 23:12Speaker 2: glad you're backing.
- 23:14Speaker 5: Yes, And well, look I've got to be in this
- 23:16Speaker 5: sling night and day for another five weeks.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Does that trial and you said, she goes, do not
- 23:24Speaker 2: bring up the fact that you have to do my hair,
- 23:27Speaker 2: and I said I would never dream.
- 23:31Speaker 5: I said, don't, girl, looks great.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I was going to do pigtails. Just shave it off.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Well, I know you want to go back to.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Bed, you want to lay down to go back. I
- 23:46Speaker 1: wish you was speedy recovery.

- 23:48Speaker 1: Please make sure you wash in and around it. Where
- 23:54Speaker 1: did you ever wash yesterday?
- 23:56Speaker 5: Kate? My daughter bless her cotton sucks. She came yesterday
- 24:01Speaker 5: and she put me in the shower.
- 24:03Speaker 1: I can't believe sponge. I can't believe that job bongeb.
- 24:08Speaker 5: But she just rogued me and took this off and
- 24:12Speaker 5: put me in the show. She did say it would
- 24:15Speaker 5: have been interesting. She did say, shall I get him
- 24:17Speaker 5: dressed and get in the show?
- 24:19Speaker 1: And I said, I told you that in confidence.
- 24:24Speaker 5: That won't be necessary.

- 24:42Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're alive because I'm glad I'm alive.
- 24:45Speaker 1: When Matt mentioned that people think that you're dead. I
- 24:47Speaker 1: was like, actually, seventeen ages. It's good to see Nana alive.
- 24:52Speaker 1: I will say, a couple more weeks should be up
- 24:54Speaker 1: and at him. Can't wait to your first much. I'm offended.
- 25:01Speaker 2: She asked me to give her a spongebar. I was
- 25:03Speaker 2: first in line, and then next thing, my sister rocks
- 25:05Speaker 2: up and I said, what are you doing here? She said,
- 25:06Speaker 2: I'm here to bath mom.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Well, you clearly didn't say yes quick enough, quick strip
- 25:11Speaker 1: off again.

- 25:15Speaker 2: doing hairs hard, I was trying.
- 25:16Speaker 1: To blow dryers. I'm not good at that. Ship. No
- 25:19Speaker 1: surprises there, yeah, I mean you've got two girls. I've
- 25:22Speaker 1: got one. But April does her hair most of the time.
- 25:25Speaker 1: I can like tie it up. I love that. That's it.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Love that April or the hair both.
- 25:31Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry giving me.
- 25:35Speaker 1: My wife ideas. You've got a little surprise. I have
- 25:40Speaker 1: a surprise for you.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Well, what's your surprise?
- 25:45Speaker 1: What's else? Well, the same time is message. It's a message.
- 25:54Speaker 6: Shit.
- 25:55Speaker 1: I thought, Look, the other day you were a little
- 25:58Speaker 1: bit stressed out. You've had quite a bang up year.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Some would say you've had to deal with a lot
- 26:04Speaker 1: of things like renovations and a kid that's coming, and
- 26:08Speaker 1: the anxiety around all that and getting everything ready, and
- 26:11Speaker 1: it's very house falling apart because of Nature's been a very,
- 26:17Speaker 1: very stressful year.
- 26:18Speaker 2: And at the same time, I was looking at you
- 26:20Speaker 2: and your situation, Ash, and I was thinking, Gosh, here's
- 26:23Speaker 2: someone that works tirelessly. You know, you're getting pulled pillar
- 26:27Speaker 2: at a post.
- 26:28Speaker 1: I'm also having fun. I like that fun.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't worry you having fun along the way,
- 26:32Speaker 2: but you know you're juggling multiple projects okay, and you're
- 26:37Speaker 2: looking after your two gorgeous kids, being a great husband.
- 26:40Speaker 2: And I thought, sometimes you need to smell the roses
- 26:44Speaker 2: whilst they're in blossom.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. So I
- 26:48Speaker 1: what I did. What I did first, go on, I
- 26:50Speaker 1: reached out to your lovely wife to see if she
- 26:53Speaker 1: can get a little message from your kids for Father's
- 26:56Speaker 1: Day to you.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I did the same thing, shut up message, April, and
- 27:01Speaker 2: I said, I can tell you message my wife. Also
- 27:04Speaker 2: two things that your wife had to go at me about.
- 27:07Speaker 2: One I send a message for every line. So I
- 27:12Speaker 2: sent her seven messages, being like, hey, April, send wonder
- 27:16Speaker 2: if I can ask a favorite.
- 27:17Speaker 1: You're like A you don't have people like don't double message.
- 27:19Speaker 1: You're like, fuck that. I'm going for seven.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Because it's easy to read a message when it's broken
- 27:23Speaker 2: down like that.
- 27:24Speaker 1: I was doing her a favor and she was like,
- 27:25Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? Frequently you don't message me like that?
- 27:28Speaker 1: Don't know?
- 27:30Speaker 2: And then she was like, anyway, after attacking me about
- 27:33Speaker 2: the way I said messages, I said, can I get
- 27:35Speaker 2: this message from you? And he goes, wehen do you
- 27:37Speaker 2: need it by? I said tomorrow?
- 27:38Speaker 1: And she's like, for God's sake, I don't want to
- 27:42Speaker 1: say that. I know that you messaged her. I don't
- 27:46Speaker 1: know what about, but you did ask me for her
- 27:50Speaker 1: phone number for a third time, and quite frankly, I
- 27:55Speaker 1: don't blame April for being a little bit annoyed with you.
- 27:59Speaker 1: I'm going to play you a little bit of audio here. Okay,
- 28:01Speaker 1: how many times have we given Matt your phone number?
- 28:04Speaker 1: Several times?
- 28:05Speaker 6: I'm actually kissed off the amount of times I've sent
- 28:07Speaker 6: him stuff, photos, requests, anything he needs you send.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Him photos like two days ago.
- 28:12Speaker 6: Yeah, a recent family photo he needed, and still he
- 28:16Speaker 6: hasn't said my number if anything, I'm actually like borderline
- 28:20Speaker 6: kissed off. Wow, how long has you been your partner
- 28:26Speaker 6: now business funner? And he still doesn't have my numbers?
- 28:30Speaker 1: Two and a half years and it's unbelievable. He doesn't
- 28:33Speaker 1: even remember my birthday. I've sent him three messages.
- 28:36Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, we got the history up of her
- 28:40Speaker 7: messaging you three three text messages before this request, okay,
- 28:47Speaker 7: of not just like hey, like files of things that
- 28:51Speaker 7: you need from her.
- 28:52Speaker 1: The tone on April, the disappointment. I'm sorry. Well, I look,
- 28:58Speaker 1: I've had to talk it down. She was very worked
- 29:01Speaker 1: up about it.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I know she was, and I apologize. Thank you for
- 29:03Speaker 2: stepping in there and helping out.
- 29:04Speaker 1: That's okay. Well, I have Laura's number and I saved
- 29:07Speaker 1: it in multiple places, so I don't lose it.
- 29:10Speaker 2: It is, it is saved, Okay, just just know from
- 29:14Speaker 2: this moment now, from this moment, I will never ever,
- 29:18Speaker 2: ever ask for April's number ever again.
- 29:20Speaker 1: One more time. There's got to be some sort of punishment.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I'll shave my head. Wow. Yeah, I'm going to delete
- 29:27Speaker 1: it out of your phone. All right. Back to the
- 29:31Speaker 1: topic at hand.

- 31:17Speaker 1: I'm trying. I know it's strange. I'm not used to it.
- 31:21Speaker 1: It's okay. It's like getting something really spicy and it
- 31:23Speaker 1: feels strange. It's going to come out the other end
- 31:25Speaker 1: and it's going to sting my kids in them. And

- 32:47Speaker 1: that a tear? Not at all, no way. But I
- 32:49Speaker 1: love how I've just diverted to being the kids clean
- 32:52Speaker 1: over everything. Ah, That's why I do it, so I
- 32:56Speaker 1: can go home and clean the toilet and the phones
- 33:00Speaker 1: and I and the mat. Why am I clean? Do
- 33:02Speaker 1: you know why they said the mat because on the
- 33:04Speaker 1: weekend I had to give it a deep clean that
- 33:07Speaker 1: we can only think back to like two days ago.
- 33:11Speaker 1: What does he do? Yes? But anyway, Happy Father's Day
- 33:14Speaker 1: to you, Matthew, and right back at you. All the
- 33:17Speaker 1: dad's out there, the granddad's as well. Guys. We usually
- 33:20Speaker 1: do parents here, but it's Father's Day.
- 33:24Speaker 2: You don't have to justify this to anybody.
- 33:26Speaker 1: I feel like we do what we want very Actually,
- 33:28Speaker 1: I love that attitude. This is our podcast. Actually, let's
- 33:30Speaker 1: not adopt that attitude because we could get out of
- 33:33Speaker 1: hand if we just do what we want. So do
- 33:35Speaker 1: we apologize or how do what? I want to remember?
- 33:39Speaker 1: But we're going to do some questions to finish this off,
- 33:42Speaker 1: and one that is a reoccurring question which continues to
- 33:46Speaker 1: come back up, because it is great is things not
- 33:51Speaker 1: to say to a parent.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Every time we do this, we're like, surely that's enough.
- 33:56Speaker 2: We've covered all the potential idiotic things you can say
- 33:59Speaker 2: to a mother or dad, and yet the people of
- 34:02Speaker 2: the world keep putting their foot in it, saying stupid.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Stupid things to parents, which is so dumb.
- 34:09Speaker 2: And so this is it's not just a chance for
- 34:12Speaker 2: parents to talk about the things that they've had thrown
- 34:14Speaker 2: at them, but also just like a little bit of
- 34:17Speaker 2: advice to anyone out there.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Boomers looking at you, guys know, they're all that we
- 34:23Speaker 1: better put this on Facebook. That's what they all.
- 34:24Speaker 2: If you're going to speak to a parent, just run
- 34:27Speaker 2: back to this segment, quick, little refresher.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Just check, just double check.
- 34:31Speaker 2: If any of the things are about to say matches
- 34:33Speaker 2: up with the things that we say in this segment,
- 34:35Speaker 2: then don't fucking say it.
- 34:36Speaker 1: And I'm going to start with just a personal and
- 34:38Speaker 1: really quick that happened to me over the weekend. And
- 34:41Speaker 1: I'm going to call this person out. Who was it.
- 34:44Speaker 1: His name's Georgio. Is he Italian? I would assume, so, yeah,
- 34:48Speaker 1: it's a bumby anyway, he is. He's on another podcast
- 34:53Speaker 1: called Kick It Forward. I know he's the short one,
- 34:58Speaker 1: he's the short shot king. Some may say he's the list.
- 35:01Speaker 1: He's fred he's jacked. I spent some time with him
- 35:03Speaker 1: in America. He's jacked. Anyway, they did a live show.
- 35:07Speaker 1: We were meant to go. I couldn't go. Okay. I
- 35:10Speaker 1: said to him, Hey, sorry, I can't come tonight. My
- 35:13Speaker 1: wife's a been overwhelmed with the kids. I've got to
- 35:15Speaker 1: stay home. And his response was, I get it. I've
- 35:19Speaker 1: got a dog. Ah, you just made the list, buddy,
- 35:24Speaker 1: and he he did. He did say after I was like,
- 35:27Speaker 1: how dare you say that to me? Dogs are not kids?
- 35:31Speaker 2: And also it's a great way to deflect when you're
- 35:34Speaker 2: like apologizing for something and then you can then quickly
- 35:36Speaker 2: spin it and be like, actually you're the fucking problem.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, And he was like he actually baited
- 35:41Speaker 1: me with it. He was like, I do that to
- 35:44Speaker 1: all parents, and so he knows what he's doing and
- 35:47Speaker 1: we don't appreciate it. He listens to this segment, I know, yeah,
- 35:50Speaker 1: he was like avid listener of that segment.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Anyway, He's an informed individual, not do never never, And
- 35:55Speaker 2: we harp on about this all the time.
- 35:57Speaker 1: Never compare your pet to a parent's kids.
- 36:02Speaker 2: Or never all right, ash, This one is from Katrina
- 36:05Speaker 2: and this is on behalf of her friend. It's oh,
- 36:08Speaker 2: it's it's the people you think, you know who are
- 36:11Speaker 2: the real problem here, the culprits. So this is sorry,
- 36:14Speaker 2: Actually I'm going to retract that statement. This is her
- 36:16Speaker 2: friend submitting it. Okay, okay, you're with me, I'm with you.
- 36:20Speaker 2: I apologize about that. I was very quick to point
- 36:23Speaker 2: the finger at the friend.
- 36:24Speaker 1: It's always the friends. I would do the same. She
- 36:28Speaker 1: had her kids.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Eighteen months apart, and a random lady said to her
- 36:33Speaker 2: at the shops. Oh, he was a mistake, wasn't he?
- 36:36Speaker 1: Oh my god? What someone? Okay, first of all, the
- 36:42Speaker 1: way she said. It was a lady we know the
- 36:44Speaker 1: age of that lady roundabouts who totally Oh why would you?
- 36:49Speaker 1: They're brazen, brazenful, Sorry that you had to endure that.
- 36:57Speaker 4: Okay.
- 36:57Speaker 1: This one's from Eva. Oh god, this is going to
- 37:00Speaker 1: trigger some people. Eva said. Someone said to her, what
- 37:04Speaker 1: do you mean you're not giving her chocolate for her
- 37:08Speaker 1: first Easter at four months old? Someone? Okay, you can
- 37:15Speaker 1: give them chocolate. No anyone breast milk bro Sorry, we're
- 37:19Speaker 1: gonna melt it down, put it in a bottle. Actually
- 37:22Speaker 1: that sounds deal, But like, just butt out, man, Like,
- 37:26Speaker 1: first of all, it's science.
- 37:28Speaker 2: How old are babies when they're start having solids?
- 37:30Speaker 1: Must be like over six months? Yeah, and they've got
- 37:33Speaker 1: to like four months close enough. No, I think, like,
- 37:36Speaker 1: just butt out.
- 37:38Speaker 2: She got a second one there.
- 37:40Speaker 1: There's another one here that says when you're trying for
- 37:43Speaker 1: a baby and people say, are you sure you're doing
- 37:47Speaker 1: it right? Don't ask me.
- 37:56Speaker 2: From Zoe, my four month old has been barely slip
- 38:00Speaker 2: during the night, and I.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Got told to just ignore the baby and sleep through it.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 38:07Speaker 2: And then they also said you should just meditate when
- 38:10Speaker 2: the baby screams. When that was said, I was meditating,
- 38:13Speaker 2: slapping them.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Just meditate or just sleep through. Terrible advice. That's someone
- 38:21Speaker 1: giving you advice who probably hasn't even held a kid
- 38:24Speaker 1: or a kid. It was a dad saying that do
- 38:27Speaker 1: what I do. Just do what I do. Sleep right through.
- 38:35Speaker 2: The amount of times when marleinn Laula were younger, and
- 38:38Speaker 2: I'd wake up after a pretty good night's sleep and
- 38:41Speaker 2: I sleep through a freight train and I'd.
- 38:42Speaker 1: Go not this freight train got Yeah.
- 38:45Speaker 2: My gosh, it's almost like a bloody like's peeling off wallpaper.
- 38:48Speaker 2: But I would say, oh, the kids, they slept pretty
- 38:50Speaker 2: well last night.
- 38:51Speaker 1: I'd done that too.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Laura would then turn ahead and look at me, bags
- 38:55Speaker 2: under rising.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Like yeah. So like, if you're a dad, don't say that.
- 39:00Speaker 2: No, doesn't matter how good the sleep was. Always just say, god,
- 39:03Speaker 2: I was up four times with the kids last night.
- 39:04Speaker 1: You slept through it, and then blame it on them. Yeah,
- 39:07Speaker 1: get ahead of it, Get ahead of it. I say, okay,
- 39:11Speaker 1: this one's from Okay, I'm going to mess the pronunciation
- 39:16Speaker 1: of his name, key La La, come on.

- 39:56Speaker 1: onto my third pregnancy, and we'll have three under three
- 40:00Speaker 1: for a week. Good thing is only a week. Why
- 40:09Speaker 1: is that fine, just like it was the delivery.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but also like that pain will be endured for
- 40:17Speaker 2: a very long time.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Now after the week, it's fine. I want to get
- 40:20Speaker 1: through this week.
- 40:21Speaker 2: Yeah, just get to get to Sunday right now.
- 40:26Speaker 1: It's gonna be much easier on Monday morning. She's like,
- 40:28Speaker 1: why it's still so fucking hard. I thought this was
- 40:32Speaker 1: over anyway, my female mum of three boss. What my
- 40:40Speaker 1: female mum of three boss all day? I thought, can
- 40:45Speaker 1: you read it.
- 40:46Speaker 2: With my first She says, I didn't announce until about
- 40:49Speaker 2: twenty weeks to my boss since I wasn't necessarily showing
- 40:52Speaker 2: and I was in a high labor farming job where
- 40:55Speaker 2: I knew they'd make me do light duties straight away.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Isn't that good? I thought you she was aura farming,
- 41:02Speaker 1: no no.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Good energy over here, So I held off as long
- 41:07Speaker 2: as she could. That's like, that is Jesus, Like that's admirable.
- 41:12Speaker 1: I tell you right now, I would love light judies,
- 41:14Speaker 1: yeah right now, Yeah, give me something lighter than that.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Ashes there going, well, I'm pregnant, like Ash, you're a man. Yeah,
- 41:20Speaker 1: I know, I'm surprised too.
- 41:23Speaker 2: My female mum of three boss replied, Oh, I thought
- 41:27Speaker 2: you were just getting fat me or it's winter and
- 41:33Speaker 2: I've been wearing a jumper and some days long pants.
- 41:37Speaker 2: And the boss replied, nah, your legs are just getting chunky.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. And she's a mom.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Yeah, well okay, lady, she says, well, how do you
- 41:48Speaker 2: even respond to that? I don't know, slap him in
- 41:50Speaker 2: the face to give a perspective. I'm five foot four,
- 41:53Speaker 2: about fifty to fifty five kilos, healthy ish kind of gal,
- 41:57Speaker 2: who went on to having a shy of nine pound
- 41:59Speaker 2: big baby boy.
- 42:00Speaker 1: My size.
- 42:01Speaker 2: Are not fuck off with your body shaming comments when
- 42:03Speaker 2: people are pregnant. I thankfully haven't necessarily gone back to
- 42:07Speaker 2: work there since my first because even announcing the third,
- 42:10Speaker 2: the comments started again.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, that is fucked up, isn't it. I think
- 42:16Speaker 1: commenting on anyone's way, especially in a workplace, that's a
- 42:21Speaker 1: viable effing. You just don't do it. You just don't
- 42:23Speaker 1: do it. It's called comments. God breeding these people, God's sake.
- 42:29Speaker 1: I asked a question. We're doing the last question, last question.
- 42:32Speaker 1: We'll wrap this up in a night as well, doing me.
- 42:35Speaker 1: You're a great reader. This, don't patronize me. This is
- 42:40Speaker 1: from Niri got that right. I think I don't know.
- 42:44Speaker 2: That's condescending the fact that people still put their names
- 42:47Speaker 2: and they send any questions to this podcast.
- 42:49Speaker 1: It's a miracle and I love it. I would love
- 42:52Speaker 1: to know your thoughts on joint birthday party protocol. We
- 42:56Speaker 1: all know my thoughts on that my son has been
- 42:58Speaker 1: invited to a joint six berth sixth birthday party. He
- 43:02Speaker 1: is friends with one of the boys, but doesn't have
- 43:05Speaker 1: anything to do with the other boy. Oh whoa, Okay,
- 43:08Speaker 1: hang on, is it rude only buy a gift for
- 43:11Speaker 1: my son's friend or should I buy two gifts? Also,
- 43:17Speaker 1: they have invited the whole class. I say with that,
- 43:22Speaker 1: that's the parents gift farming. I just coined a phrase,
- 43:27Speaker 1: excuse me, where you over invite people to give your
- 43:33Speaker 1: kid gifts so that you don't have to go out
- 43:35Speaker 1: and buy all these gifts that they want it. But
- 43:37Speaker 1: don't you think gets a trade off? Right? You're providing
- 43:41Speaker 1: the venue, if you live there, you pay mortgage, doesn't matter,
- 43:44Speaker 1: feeding and cleaning the house, You're getting the preparation. You're
- 43:47Speaker 1: feeding the child, you get activities. You could budget your
- 43:50Speaker 1: way out of that and come out on top. I
- 43:52Speaker 1: know what they're doing. It's an exchange. It's an exchange here,
- 43:55Speaker 1: It's it's a tradition as old as I think. It's
- 43:57Speaker 1: a con well. Birthday parties, yeah, you already know my
- 44:01Speaker 1: thoughts on that. I sneak my kids into other people's
- 44:03Speaker 1: birthdays all the time. I've only ever thrown one, but
- 44:05Speaker 1: like wedding crashes for birthday parties birthday crashes.
- 44:08Speaker 2: For those of you who are knew to the podcast,
- 44:10Speaker 2: Ash walks the parks on Saturdays and Sunday mornings with his.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Children around their birthday time.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Once he spots a bunch of balloons tied with gazebo,
- 44:17Speaker 2: he is in.
- 44:18Speaker 1: There and he's like, hey, good to see you guys again.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Most of the time I'm doing it silently, or it's
- 44:24Speaker 1: a friend because it just so happens that a friend
- 44:26Speaker 1: of mine kid was born on the same day, not
- 44:28Speaker 1: the same year. His kid's younger. So when that kid
- 44:31Speaker 1: was born on that day, I was like, thank God,
- 44:33Speaker 1: he's going to save you so much money, this kid.
- 44:36Speaker 1: And now I just now it's now it's Matey's birthday.
- 44:38Speaker 1: Whenever it's his birthday.
- 44:39Speaker 2: So would Mazie get presents from other guests.
- 44:41Speaker 1: No, they wouldn't know because I've snuck her in. Yeah,
- 44:44Speaker 1: I just get to the end of Happy Birthday to
- 44:47Speaker 1: whoever is the kid? And and Ma.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Why don't you, why don't you actually get in there
- 44:51Speaker 2: earlier and get her name, like put on the invite?
- 44:54Speaker 1: Well, it's I'm working on And so then I did
- 44:56Speaker 1: cop a bit of hate for this though. Remember people
- 44:58Speaker 1: were like, how tell you I have the child of
- 45:00Speaker 1: a birthday? I was like, well, we celebrate privately.
- 45:04Speaker 2: But the thing is ash you're starving the child or
- 45:06Speaker 2: something they will only enjoy at a young age. Okay,
- 45:09Speaker 2: we don't know. It's like a ticking time. But when
- 45:12Speaker 2: they'll stop enjoying being sung to Happy birth as sooner
- 45:15Speaker 2: the better, right, there's there's a finite number of times
- 45:18Speaker 2: they will enjoy that song being sung to them.
- 45:21Speaker 1: No one enjoys that song, the kids do. Hew, dare
- 45:24Speaker 1: you know? Even when we sing it to Oscar as
- 45:28Speaker 1: a family, he's like he's there loving it, and You're like,
- 45:31Speaker 1: see he hates it. He's in pain right now? Yeah,
- 45:33Speaker 1: he probably is. I was. I am every time someone
- 45:36Speaker 1: pipes up and starts singing Happy birth just because it
- 45:39Speaker 1: hurts you doesn't mean it's going to hurt your son.
- 45:41Speaker 2: Okay, well said okay, but they're not shirt.
- 45:44Speaker 1: Don't you steal my lines?
- 45:45Speaker 2: How dare you steal my So what I'm trying to
- 45:47Speaker 2: say is just give two birthday presents.
- 45:50Speaker 1: No, I think it's twenty bucks. Twenty bucks, my guy,
- 45:57Speaker 1: twenty bucks. Okay, it's as much to you as it
- 45:59Speaker 1: is to them, right, what do you mean by that?
- 46:02Speaker 1: So twenty dollars is twenty dollars? Okay, so, well, had
- 46:04Speaker 1: slow down. It's as much to you as it is
- 46:08Speaker 1: to them.
- 46:08Speaker 2: So the next statement, would you say, twenty bucks is
- 46:11Speaker 2: twenty bucks?
- 46:12Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, that's lost me. Yeah, so twenty dollars to
- 46:15Speaker 1: you might mean something different to someone else.
- 46:18Speaker 2: So twenty bucks isn't twenty bucks, Well.
- 46:20Speaker 1: It is the amounts of the same that means different.
- 46:22Speaker 1: It's different. Yes, it's not twenty bucks. Well it is
- 46:25Speaker 1: because that's the year round figure.
- 46:27Speaker 2: No, twenty bucks is twenty bucks to you, but it's
- 46:29Speaker 2: not twenty bucks someone else.
- 46:30Speaker 1: Yeah, forty bucks. That twenty dollars to you means something
- 46:34Speaker 1: else that it does to someone else. Okay, so that
- 46:37Speaker 1: twenty dollars are still twenty but it might mean someone
- 46:40Speaker 1: might be less fortunate. It might mean on a meal,
- 46:42Speaker 1: so it's fort it. No, it might mean that twenty
- 46:45Speaker 1: dollars that I am buying a gift for means that
- 46:48Speaker 1: we might miss out on a meal for my family
- 46:50Speaker 1: that I love very much. Yes, I'm going to take
- 46:52Speaker 1: you on a guilt journey right now. That's a lie. Okay,
- 46:54Speaker 1: lie to me, but you know what I mean. So
- 46:56Speaker 1: twenty dollars is going to be twenty dollars, but it
- 46:58Speaker 1: might mean less to you than it does to someone else.
- 47:03Speaker 1: Let's let's agree to disagree. Okay, Okay, Okay, you sure
- 47:09Speaker 1: I'm positive? Really, don't ask me twice. So okay, I'm
- 47:12Speaker 1: just thinking like right here that I would go if
- 47:15Speaker 1: I don't know the other kid whatsoever. Okay, there's no
- 47:19Speaker 1: repercussions or backlash on that. I'm buying the kid I
- 47:23Speaker 1: know at present put it in the pile. Actually, fuck it,
- 47:25Speaker 1: I'm not buying any presents. I was like, yeah, I'll
- 47:30Speaker 1: make a point of it when I get there, and
- 47:31Speaker 1: it's like, where's the present pile? I'll say that so
- 47:33Speaker 1: people like, Okay, he's looking for the present pile, so
- 47:35Speaker 1: he must have presents put in there, and then after
- 47:37Speaker 1: maybe after the first bevrage, if there's bevrage there, and
- 47:40Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I just put my present in the
- 47:42Speaker 1: pile over there, maybe got lost gas light, saved forty
- 47:48Speaker 1: bucks there in your maths it was twenty bucks. Bro,
- 47:51Speaker 1: it's going up now. I'm just saying, not everyone can
- 47:56Speaker 1: afford to fork out twenty dollars on a kid they
- 47:58Speaker 1: don't like. Am I right? No, dragon in Okay. Look,
- 48:06Speaker 1: if I think we're different people and I need to
- 48:08Speaker 1: appreciate I think if you like I love to give
- 48:11Speaker 1: gifts to people that I know, don't try and paint
- 48:15Speaker 1: yourself as but something different to what you actually If
- 48:18Speaker 1: you're going to buy gifts for both, then you do
- 48:20Speaker 1: it within the means that you think is appropriate. Not
- 48:23Speaker 1: Matt's twenty dollars rule. He's just brought out.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Don't be such a wuss and stick by your comments
- 48:29Speaker 2: of like, oh, buy anything for anyone else.
- 48:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just trying to eaven it out of it.
- 48:33Speaker 1: Yeah no, fuck it, I'm not getting these kids anything
- 48:36Speaker 1: they're not going to remember. If we don't get invited
- 48:39Speaker 1: the next year, that's a win.
- 48:43Speaker 2: And on that note, if ever, there was a nod
- 48:46Speaker 2: to why we don't give advice.
- 48:48Speaker 1: That question was a drivel answer that I could have
- 48:52Speaker 1: possibly given.
