- 1:48Speaker 1: A guy was like stopped, he didn't know which way
- 1:51Speaker 1: to go. Your car is like just parked across a

- 1:58Speaker 1: not even it's not even backed up.
- 2:00Speaker 4: I do things out of it.
- 2:02Speaker 2: It's literally just in the middle of I really hope
- 2:04Speaker 2: someone just fucking cleans it up. That's the plan. But honestly,
- 2:11Speaker 2: I thought that I thought it was playing on.
- 2:12Speaker 4: I didn't see.
- 2:14Speaker 2: The person next to me is quite far over, so
- 2:16Speaker 2: it's their fault. I nearly couldn't get out of the door.
- 2:19Speaker 4: You're better than that. I'm not well. I'm really you
- 2:22Speaker 4: live very fresh, very fresh. I mean the pendulum swings.

- 2:29Speaker 4: Balance error?
- 2:31Speaker 2: We spoke about it last week, and I am continuing
- 2:35Speaker 2: with balance where I'm not drinking as much during the

- 2:42Speaker 2: I'm like, you know how they give mice cocaine, Yes,
- 2:45Speaker 2: and then imagine weaning one of those mice off cocaine.
- 2:48Speaker 2: But cocaine's the beer for the record, for the records.

- 7:16Speaker 1: you let him out? It was Yeah, it was a
- 7:23Speaker 1: quiet anniversary. We'll celebrate it next two years. It's not
- 7:27Speaker 1: even worthy of a celebration.
- 7:29Speaker 4: I just want to laugh at that.
- 7:30Speaker 2: That is such like an old person sentence to say, what,
- 7:35Speaker 2: we'll celebrate it next year. There's like something my grandmother
- 7:38Speaker 2: would say if we forgot her birthday.
- 7:40Speaker 4: She'd like, celebrate it next year when I'm dead. Oh shit,
- 7:46Speaker 4: we need to make more of an.

- 8:23Speaker 1: stop at the end of the sentence. We've not had
- 8:26Speaker 1: it for a while.
- 8:28Speaker 4: Now you're doing this behind my back.

- 9:32Speaker 1: Okay, okay, let's look it up.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Look it up, look it up. Look, let's get that
- 9:36Speaker 4: producer to bring that up for us.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Although big point of difference. We have a full stop
- 9:41Speaker 1: at the end of ours.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Right, play on, I play on, I say, I think
- 9:48Speaker 2: we're good.

- 9:58Speaker 1: It's like the same funt everything.
- 10:01Speaker 4: Well, hang on, there's a difference.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Well, there's this curve curve, there's this curved and ours
- 10:05Speaker 1: is a full stop.
- 10:07Speaker 4: What we should have done is should have done the
- 10:09Speaker 4: Star Wars Wars version, and it could be the Yoda one.
- 10:12Speaker 4: Nice must be, nice, must be, nice, must be. But look, fuck,
- 10:19Speaker 4: you've how many five hundred?
- 10:23Speaker 2: We're gonna have to shut the podcast down because that's
- 10:25Speaker 2: the whole merch budget. Now, what are we gonna do
- 10:27Speaker 2: with them? Well, we might be able to sell them.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm gonna do.
- 10:35Speaker 4: I'm going to wear mine for the rest of the podcast.
- 10:37Speaker 2: As you can't do that or we get in trouble,
- 10:40Speaker 2: please wear away.
- 10:41Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like Hamish Nandy that big of
- 10:44Speaker 1: a podcast. Surely they don't have a strong legal team
- 10:46Speaker 1: behind and.
- 10:46Speaker 4: They come after us. It's all good things for us, I.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Think, Yeah, we actually we need to have some type
- 10:52Speaker 1: of like, we need some conflict.
- 10:54Speaker 4: Yeah, we want a battle.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're going to fight someone, go after
- 10:57Speaker 1: the big dog Hamish Nandy come for us.
- 11:00Speaker 2: All right, So we're bringing out a new one then
- 11:02Speaker 2: that says nice, must be.
- 11:06Speaker 4: Nice? Comma nice be.
- 11:11Speaker 1: I do want to put my hand up and say,
- 11:14Speaker 1: my bad.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Who else is gonna put their hands up? No, you
- 11:19Speaker 2: know what, it's not your fault. That's our producer's fault
- 11:21Speaker 2: that she didn't double check that. Jessica.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Shame shame, that's shame on you. That's a written morning.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Shame on you.
- 11:29Speaker 2: We'll make it work, maybe if we changed it to
- 11:34Speaker 2: must be nice. Matt Okay, right, well, it feels quite
- 11:42Speaker 2: nice on the top of my head.
- 11:44Speaker 4: Well, back to the drawing board we go.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Okay, it's a nice try. I like the thought behind it.
- 11:49Speaker 2: But you've opened up to a potential lawsuit, which you
- 11:51Speaker 2: know what. Bring it on, Matthew. Yes, we spoke last week.
- 11:55Speaker 4: You had Marley's orientation. I believe you had another one today.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Next week next week and you had an information session
- 12:02Speaker 2: not that long ago. Well we've had our information session
- 12:07Speaker 2: finally your first one.
- 12:09Speaker 4: No, no, So we did we did it differently. We
- 12:11Speaker 4: did like a school tour. Then we did oscar like
- 12:16Speaker 4: a handover with a buddy or whatever. Nice, and then
- 12:20Speaker 4: we did one the other day that was a handover,
- 12:22Speaker 4: but we stayed in the library. The kids were in class,
- 12:26Speaker 4: and they gave the informations by the kids were in.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Class, which is a great way to do it. Two
- 12:30Speaker 1: birds with one stone. I like it, continue, I like it.
- 12:33Speaker 1: No one told me how boring this thing was going
- 12:34Speaker 1: to be. Fuck, it was boring. This is your child's education,
- 12:38Speaker 1: this is their future.
- 12:39Speaker 4: I started to act out like I was at school again.
- 12:43Speaker 2: April sat in front of me, and I was with
- 12:44Speaker 2: a mate because that all our kids going together. And
- 12:46Speaker 2: I was just like poking, poking a under the arm
- 12:49Speaker 2: or she would like murmur to one of the girls.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Next t I was like, you're listening, like just little
- 12:55Speaker 4: things like that. I wanted to play the penis game,
- 12:57Speaker 4: but no one else wanted to play with me. You're
- 12:59Speaker 4: fucking terrible. Also, the PA didn't work. That would have
- 13:02Speaker 4: just lost your straight off straight away. I said, can
- 13:05Speaker 4: you hear what are we talking about? Then they went
- 13:07Speaker 4: on for fifteen twenty minutes. They shouldn't sleds to school
- 13:10Speaker 4: too much because I've my kids about to go there
- 13:12Speaker 4: for six years. But they there was like a big
- 13:16Speaker 4: change in like New South Wales teaching curriculum about job
- 13:20Speaker 4: share and whatever, which I think job share is great
- 13:23Speaker 4: for the record.
- 13:23Speaker 1: What is job share?
- 13:24Speaker 4: So like a teacher because of the lack of.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Teachers there are out there, right, there's job share now,
- 13:31Speaker 2: so a mum can be a teacher for two days
- 13:34Speaker 2: a week and there's another teacher who also teaches that
- 13:37Speaker 2: class for the other three days of the week paid.
- 13:39Speaker 2: It's like a part time teacher. Oh okay, so like
- 13:42Speaker 2: your kids have two teachers?
- 13:44Speaker 4: Of course? Was it a recruitment drive? No, no, no,
- 13:46Speaker 4: they wanted they have to pass on the information because
- 13:50Speaker 4: it's legislation that in schools.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Now it's it's essentially across the board. They're allowed to
- 13:56Speaker 2: offer it to potential teachers. Love that before, like the
- 14:00Speaker 2: school that he's going to already implemented that because they're
- 14:03Speaker 2: allowed to do it individually. But now it's like across
- 14:05Speaker 2: the board. You're elite you're illegally allowed to. I could
- 14:09Speaker 2: have that wrong. Once again.
- 14:14Speaker 1: If you are a parent with a child entering into
- 14:17Speaker 1: the school system, do not use this way.
- 14:21Speaker 4: And I look and honestly I cannot concentrate. Yeah, at
- 14:26Speaker 4: all it is. It's obviously I care where my child goes.
- 14:31Speaker 4: But at the same time, the school, it's in our catchment.
- 14:35Speaker 4: That's why we picked it. We know it's a goodish school.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Like it's KINDI as well, Like I don't I don't
- 14:40Speaker 1: know how critical is it? Yeah, Like if it's bad,
- 14:43Speaker 1: I'll figure that out when I drop them off and
- 14:45Speaker 1: I start finding out that it's bad, I don't know.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, like I'm not good with information. Don't
- 14:53Speaker 2: give me any information, give me visuals. How come you
- 14:56Speaker 2: just didn't if it was a puppet show?
- 15:05Speaker 4: But yeah, it was hard work two hours. That's come
- 15:11Speaker 4: on on a plastic seat.
- 15:13Speaker 1: How's your back fucked?
- 15:15Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 15:16Speaker 2: And look love the school. I went there as a kid,
- 15:18Speaker 2: so not the school's great. I already know it's great.
- 15:21Speaker 2: I looked over at April and I said, this is
- 15:23Speaker 2: really a one parent job, totally. You don't need me
- 15:27Speaker 2: here for this. But then they were like, we're going
- 15:29Speaker 2: to give you all of this information in a pack.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Just give me the fucking pack and give you went
- 15:35Speaker 2: two hours back.
- 15:37Speaker 4: Look, it was necessary information.
- 15:40Speaker 2: I get it. Okay, I get it. They've got to
- 15:44Speaker 2: do it, and but it was so boring. I look
- 15:49Speaker 2: over and a dad another dad has nodded off and
- 15:54Speaker 2: I'm talking swaying.
- 15:58Speaker 1: He was like, I don't know if we can post
- 16:00Speaker 1: a video because I can't. I saw the video and
- 16:04Speaker 1: it was like someone was hit with a tranquil eye.
- 16:07Speaker 4: I can't because.
- 16:08Speaker 2: He's going to go to school with my kids, going
- 16:09Speaker 2: to find out he could be dangerous.
- 16:11Speaker 1: But he was sitting on the edge of a desk like, yeah,
- 16:13Speaker 1: he was fully upright. It wasn't like in the back
- 16:16Speaker 1: corner did no one tap him on the shoulder and say, hey, dude, you.
- 16:20Speaker 4: Gotta I was jealous. I was like, how you do that?
- 16:26Speaker 4: Good effort for honestly, And then afterwards, fucking that guy
- 16:30Speaker 4: was full of energy.
- 16:31Speaker 2: He was running up and down and then I it
- 16:37Speaker 2: finished up and all the parents congregated out in front
- 16:39Speaker 2: of the library, and you know me, I don't really

- 19:29Speaker 2: explains a lot, so I just I'll just keep a
- 19:31Speaker 2: mouth shut now.
- 19:32Speaker 1: But there was a there was a part they did
- 19:34Speaker 1: a talk and then they afterwards they split people up
- 19:38Speaker 1: into different groups, and they then give you a tour
- 19:40Speaker 1: of the school. And they said, listen closely. Right now,
- 19:44Speaker 1: we're going to explain to you how your groups get
- 19:46Speaker 1: split up. And as a joke, they were like, and
- 19:49Speaker 1: these two instructions, listen carefully because if you get it wrong,
- 19:53Speaker 1: this is how we know who are the good parents
- 19:55Speaker 1: and the bad parents.
- 19:57Speaker 4: And I was like, oh fuck, that was me. I'd
- 20:00Speaker 4: be fucked.

- 20:05Speaker 4: Where's my group? Oh my god, I just can't get
- 20:10Speaker 4: over there.
- 20:11Speaker 1: Everyone everyone had their like they're like student leader who
- 20:14Speaker 1: then took them on their tour.
- 20:15Speaker 4: I was there by myself. I was left behind wondering
- 20:18Speaker 4: the whole and then like just followed a group. I
- 20:20Speaker 4: was like, okay, there's got no chance anyway. I think, okay,
- 20:24Speaker 4: I can't get my head around there.
- 20:26Speaker 2: But why like, why do you want the girls to
- 20:29Speaker 2: go to this particular school?
- 20:30Speaker 4: Is it like a it's a private school.
- 20:33Speaker 1: It's a private school, and they value not only education,
- 20:37Speaker 1: but but co curricular education as well as we want
- 20:42Speaker 1: to give them an experience that covers all areas of
- 20:45Speaker 1: life in addition to drama, music, sport, as well as education.
- 20:50Speaker 4: Given risties and the bushes and then education, is it?
- 20:53Speaker 1: I didn't that wasn't on the pamphlet.
- 20:55Speaker 2: That's definitely what's happening in some Catholic school is the
- 20:59Speaker 2: handies handies Saturday mornings.
- 21:02Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I just think man's both girls.
- 21:10Speaker 1: I just want fip a coin.
- 21:12Speaker 4: Who gets it? No, I reckon, we know who's going
- 21:14Speaker 4: to get it. I think that's okay.
- 21:18Speaker 2: But just for the record, yes, everyone listening out there,
- 21:21Speaker 2: I think for the record, that's ridiculous.
- 21:24Speaker 4: I agree, okay, I'm glad that. But look also I
- 21:28Speaker 4: know whose idea it was. I know exactly whose idea
- 21:32Speaker 4: was to go whose she shall remain nameless, Laura Ellie.
- 21:39Speaker 1: To be honest, it was my sister who listens to
- 21:41Speaker 1: this podcast. So I do want to say thanks to
- 21:43Speaker 1: my sister.
- 21:44Speaker 4: No you don't. I do know what I winking at me.
- 21:47Speaker 4: I want the kids.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Ideally they all go to the same school with the cousins.
- 21:51Speaker 1: The cousins, that's great, perfect, But do you know what's happened?
- 21:55Speaker 1: All this preparation for school next year has given me
- 21:59Speaker 1: one of the words, weeks of my life explain. So
- 22:03Speaker 1: on Monday morning, I got a text that sent shivers
- 22:06Speaker 1: down my spine. It read, don't forget everybody, this week
- 22:12Speaker 1: is lunchbox week.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Oh my god.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Okay, So what they do to try and little baby
- 22:18Speaker 1: steps week in week out?
- 22:20Speaker 4: I know what they do. If any parent's out there,
- 22:23Speaker 4: explain what that is.
- 22:24Speaker 1: So there's certain little things, activities, milestones that they like
- 22:29Speaker 1: the kids to do who are transitioning to KINDI this
- 22:31Speaker 1: is at daycare.
- 22:33Speaker 4: One of them is like you for the week you
- 22:34Speaker 4: wear your school.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Uniform to week you know you practice what's going to
- 22:39Speaker 1: happen next year. Lunchbox week and my daycare, for the record,
- 22:43Speaker 1: is one where the food is provided. We never have
- 22:46Speaker 1: to pack a lunch, which is just beautiful.
- 22:49Speaker 4: That task.
- 22:50Speaker 1: The fact that I don't have to do that each morning.
- 22:52Speaker 1: It makes me so happy. It's painful, bro, it's fucking awful.
- 22:55Speaker 1: So get this text lunchbox Week. And I also I'm
- 22:59Speaker 1: conscious of the fact that you don't want your kid
- 23:00Speaker 1: to be the only one. Oh shit, hang on a second.
- 23:03Speaker 4: Damn it.
- 23:06Speaker 1: I forgot to upload these photos for money for a
- 23:08Speaker 1: show and tell.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 23:10Speaker 1: That's another thought.
- 23:11Speaker 4: This is very classic. Remind this record.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Yes, so this is like, I need to upload these
- 23:16Speaker 1: photos because Marley keeps.
- 23:18Speaker 4: There's parents out there now listening to this checking they
- 23:21Speaker 4: did the exact same thing.
- 23:22Speaker 1: I always forget. So my hey, lunchbox week, what do
- 23:25Speaker 1: we got? And of course, like Monday, Monday afternoon is
- 23:28Speaker 1: when I do my shopping.
- 23:28Speaker 4: There's some old gold rowings, so open the pantry.
- 23:34Speaker 1: I have a pack of Doritos that we were weirdly
- 23:37Speaker 1: given by Halloween. People gave out chips, perfect ground that
- 23:41Speaker 1: in the lunch box.
- 23:42Speaker 4: It goes.
- 23:42Speaker 1: I have an old apple that's almost soft to touch
- 23:46Speaker 1: because it's at the bottom back corner of the fridge.
- 23:48Speaker 1: I'm like cool, I put that in there as well,
- 23:50Speaker 1: still fresh, and then Marley goes, I really want something.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Everyone gets something I believe it.
- 23:55Speaker 4: If the apple is squishy, it means it's ripe.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Anyway, it bounced, yeah, and then Marley was like, I
- 24:02Speaker 1: need a treat. People get a treat, And I thought,
- 24:05Speaker 1: do they get a treat? And she goes, yeah, yah
- 24:07Speaker 1: yah yah yeah. You know those chop chip cookies, my
- 24:10Speaker 1: chopship cookies.
- 24:11Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, I take an ownership of that box.
- 24:16Speaker 4: I've eaten majority of them.
- 24:17Speaker 1: They're very good. Mary says, can you please give me
- 24:19Speaker 1: one of those? Everybody gets a treat, and I said,
- 24:22Speaker 1: I think I remember getting a treat like you get
- 24:24Speaker 1: like a little some sott easier.
- 24:28Speaker 4: Lunchbox. She had changed.
- 24:30Speaker 1: She had an off Apple, a packet of Doritos, and
- 24:34Speaker 1: one chop chip cookie wrapped up in glad wrap.
- 24:36Speaker 4: That's a good effort. Came picked her up. She'd eate
- 24:39Speaker 4: none of it.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Teacher had to pull me aside and be like, just
- 24:44Speaker 1: the cookies had nuts in it. And then the Toritos
- 24:47Speaker 1: were not good. They were like, oh, we try not
- 24:49Speaker 1: to give them too many sweets as well. So I
- 24:52Speaker 1: got reprimanded when I picked her up, and You're like,
- 24:55Speaker 1: it's okay, tomorrow, I'll send it. I'll send her room
- 24:57Speaker 1: with McDonald's. Yeah.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Look, we did talk about this last week and last year.
- 25:04Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure the exact same thing happened. Did you
- 25:08Speaker 4: have the same We didn't do it last you you
- 25:11Speaker 4: witnessed it.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Maybe she maybe because she was in that group.

- 25:17Speaker 2: pay full child fees.
- 25:19Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, we still they getting a week off food.
- 25:22Speaker 1: It's also extra ship because Lola is missing out. Lola's

- 33:23Speaker 1: and one of them leaps up right. It's all happened
- 33:28Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye. It's quite hard for
- 33:30Speaker 1: me to talk about because it was very traumatic.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Again, that's type of dog it was.

- 35:27Speaker 4: And you know when you have a moment where you
- 35:29Speaker 4: think you're a fully grown man with it, you know

- 36:33Speaker 1: I kept I kept running, and.
- 36:34Speaker 2: I think if it was like if the owner was
- 36:36Speaker 2: like sorry, bro, you'd be like sorry, Bra, like yeah,

- 38:44Speaker 1: insane amount of paint, blue paint that has been spread
- 38:48Speaker 1: throughout the house. I thought it might have been a
- 38:49Speaker 1: fake video. I thought, I did wonder. I was like,
- 38:53Speaker 1: has Hannah. Has Hannah just like gotten a tub of
- 38:56Speaker 1: due luxe paint and just tipped it over everyone to
- 39:00Speaker 1: win this prize?
- 39:01Speaker 4: If so still worthy?
- 39:03Speaker 1: If you're going to destroy your own apartment like that,

- 39:33Speaker 5: No? No, look it almost makes it.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Worth it almost is the blue paint still in the carpet.
- 39:41Speaker 8: We got professional carpet cleaners in. Well, they actually said
- 39:47Speaker 8: they could.
- 39:53Speaker 4: I was not expecting that.
- 39:55Speaker 8: So what you've said on the videos is just the
- 39:58Speaker 8: start of it. That went through that all patrol car
- 40:02Speaker 8: went through all and went through all the bedroom.
- 40:05Speaker 1: Who was in charge of the kids when this happened.
- 40:08Speaker 5: Well, both me and my husband.
- 40:10Speaker 4: Oh, you have to say that.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Was it a case where things were silent for a
- 40:16Speaker 1: little bit and yet no?
- 40:18Speaker 5: No, so this was this happened. They must have been
- 40:21Speaker 5: up at the cracka door. We were still asleep.
- 40:26Speaker 8: The big brother got the paint out of the car.
- 40:31Speaker 5: Yeah, so the big brother got.
- 40:32Speaker 9: The paint out and we honestly, we were asleep and
- 40:37Speaker 9: we wake up. I could here that core patrol car
- 40:39Speaker 9: going up and down the hallway, and that's when we
- 40:43Speaker 9: walked into the disaster.
- 40:48Speaker 1: God just got worse and worse and worse. Although I
- 40:54Speaker 1: have to give it is it Tom?
- 40:55Speaker 4: Is it the Yeah?
- 40:57Speaker 1: I have to give him credit for the eyebrows.
- 41:00Speaker 5: Oh look, we I think that's why I couldn't even
- 41:03Speaker 5: get cross with him at the time.
- 41:05Speaker 4: That's so funny.
- 41:06Speaker 1: Did you get any type of punishment for that?
- 41:09Speaker 2: No, well just save it up, wait till he's eighteen,
- 41:12Speaker 2: and then punish him.
- 41:14Speaker 9: I think when you're in that situation, you realize there's
- 41:16Speaker 9: nothing that can fix it.
- 41:18Speaker 8: So and it would look it was a crillic paint
- 41:23Speaker 8: as well, like.

- 42:28Speaker 1: back to.

- 42:34Speaker 4: Now for a serious message, Matthew. Usually this is.
- 42:37Speaker 2: The part of the episode where we have a segment
- 42:41Speaker 2: one hacks or what's the other one?
- 42:44Speaker 4: We do live.
- 42:46Speaker 2: But today not today, We're just going to do some questions.
- 42:49Speaker 2: That's a serious announcement. I know, I got really seriousness.
- 42:52Speaker 1: That was great, good time, good time. If you ever
- 42:55Speaker 1: have to deliver bad news, you're the guy to do it. No, yeah, no,
- 42:59Speaker 1: it was nice to get to taste your serious voice
- 43:01Speaker 1: for a few second.
- 43:02Speaker 4: We have questions.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Can I ask you this question? Ash is lying about
- 43:05Speaker 1: your kid's age to get cheaper tickets?
- 43:08Speaker 4: Appropriate as absolutely play on green Light for me?
- 43:14Speaker 2: I did this. We remember I did this with Oscar
- 43:17Speaker 2: because at sorry Manley Man Eagle, specifically, when you take
- 43:23Speaker 2: your kid under four, they're free. So I just had
- 43:25Speaker 2: to convince Oscar that he was four until we got in.
- 43:28Speaker 1: Do you not worry that you're setting up your child
- 43:31Speaker 1: for a life of dishonesty.
- 43:32Speaker 4: Like he's going to become a hardened criminal because of it? Yeah?
- 43:35Speaker 1: You know the foundations are they said at a young age.
- 43:37Speaker 2: If he can go from lying about his age to
- 43:40Speaker 2: being a hardened criminal that think of the steps along
- 43:46Speaker 2: the way, if he can get through those, that's something
- 43:49Speaker 2: that you should be celebrated.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Okay. A couple of quick questions Easter show?
- 43:53Speaker 4: Can you lie? Lie? Okay?
- 43:54Speaker 1: What about restaurant for lie?
- 43:57Speaker 4: Okay? Okay? What about all?
- 44:00Speaker 1: Okay, here's one for you, not to put you on
- 44:03Speaker 1: the spot, but I would appreciate your honesty right now. Okay,
- 44:07Speaker 1: I think it's two and a half when you have
- 44:13Speaker 1: to start bowing there. He is aeroplane, Yeah, aeroplane you can't.
- 44:18Speaker 4: You can do it domestically, yeah, but internationally you can't
- 44:25Speaker 4: because you need a passport.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Right, So what about flying domestic? Have you ever purchased
- 44:30Speaker 1: a ticket and lied about the age of your child
- 44:33Speaker 1: to get them a free seat, because you know that
- 44:36Speaker 1: when they're like two and one month, they're still going
- 44:38Speaker 1: to sit on your lap anyway, right, Yeah, And they
- 44:41Speaker 1: don't they don't ask for the idea because you just
- 44:44Speaker 1: check in at the key ask No one knows if they.
- 44:46Speaker 4: Are just kick up a stink. Have you lied?
- 44:49Speaker 2: I'm told, I'm told, I'm told. I don't want to
- 44:54Speaker 2: dip a certain lady in our household. I don't want
- 44:59Speaker 2: to throw her anywhe No, we haven't.
- 45:02Speaker 4: Also, hotels is a good one as well. Oh what
- 45:12Speaker 4: about you? Surely sure never? Not me? Not once? Too
- 45:16Speaker 4: much to lose. Eh? Oh well, can't wait for us
- 45:23Speaker 4: going to be a hardened criminal? That's any fun? Okay,
- 45:26Speaker 4: I've got on for you, Matt.
- 45:27Speaker 2: And look, this one was a running joke in my
- 45:31Speaker 2: house for a while. It was a joke for me,
- 45:35Speaker 2: but maybe not for her. What are your thoughts on
- 45:38Speaker 2: a push present?
- 45:40Speaker 4: Now?
- 45:41Speaker 2: First of all, let me answer that. Let's explain what
- 45:43Speaker 2: a push present is. It's when you gift your wife, partner, whatever,
- 45:50Speaker 2: a present after they've pushed out a child.
- 45:53Speaker 4: I personally think the child is the present. I agree,
- 45:58Speaker 4: you agree with that, ridiculous.
- 46:00Speaker 1: I didn't get Laura a push present partly because she
- 46:03Speaker 1: earns more money than me that if she wants a present,
- 46:06Speaker 1: she's probably better off buying it herself.
- 46:08Speaker 4: Totally agreed.
- 46:10Speaker 1: But I look, it's pretty it's pretty awful.
- 46:16Speaker 4: What women have to go through.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Yeah, with the whole But it's not like it's a
- 46:22Speaker 2: non consensual birth.
- 46:24Speaker 4: No, I know.
- 46:25Speaker 1: But when you look at when you weigh up the
- 46:28Speaker 1: two scenarios, the roles and responsibilities of pregnancy and childbirth,
- 46:32Speaker 1: man versus woman.
- 46:34Speaker 4: Yeah? Fuck, but when did it?
- 46:37Speaker 1: It's very the the imbalance is unbelievable.
- 46:40Speaker 4: But when did it become about materialistic items? Think about that.
- 46:45Speaker 2: That was a really big sentence out of my mouth,
- 46:48Speaker 2: and I'm sorry, But when did it become about the
- 46:50Speaker 2: material things? Like Okay, why can't you just be like.
- 46:54Speaker 4: You know what, you've done an amazing job pushing out
- 46:57Speaker 4: our child. Yeah, I'm going to do my very best
- 47:01Speaker 4: now to be the most supportive, be the most present.
- 47:05Speaker 4: Isn't that? Isn't that father?
- 47:07Speaker 5: Isn't it?
- 47:08Speaker 4: Isn't the bare minimum? Yeah? No, But why does it
- 47:13Speaker 4: have to be about materials?
- 47:15Speaker 5: What?
- 47:15Speaker 4: Okay, what's the diamond going to do for you? It's
- 47:18Speaker 4: not going to cook you fucking dinner, is it. I
- 47:22Speaker 4: just think it's ridiculous.
- 47:24Speaker 2: I think I would much rather buy April or something
- 47:26Speaker 2: because not because of that, just out of the kindness
- 47:28Speaker 2: of my heart, not because of I know, I make
- 47:31Speaker 2: myself sick.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Look if that's what you're into, fine, look.
- 47:39Speaker 1: For Laura and I were not big present people. Obviously,
- 47:42Speaker 1: when you look back at the anniversary. We've got tie
- 47:45Speaker 1: takeaway in front of the TV. You know we're not
- 47:48Speaker 1: extravagant gift bearers, So parents.
- 47:52Speaker 9: I.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Thank you. Fuck what was I thinking? I was thinking
- 47:59Speaker 1: that the Three Wise Men like bearing gifts. Yes, I
- 48:03Speaker 1: mean you look at look at Mary's the name Mary.
- 48:05Speaker 1: So then she gave birth to Jesus and what does
- 48:07Speaker 1: she get? She got three push presents?
- 48:09Speaker 2: Yeah, but from from other people, from other families. From
- 48:14Speaker 2: you get a gift, it's you, technically you. I think, Okay,
- 48:21Speaker 2: I think if we start social media these days, if
- 48:25Speaker 2: we put the expectation on couples to provide push present,
- 48:29Speaker 2: there's some people out there that can't provide a push
- 48:33Speaker 2: fucking diamond like Pooky.
- 48:35Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be a diamond, ash doesn't have
- 48:38Speaker 1: to be that's what.
- 48:39Speaker 4: That's what. That's what If you go back to the
- 48:42Speaker 4: origin of it, of this whole ridiculous thing, it's actually diamonds.
- 48:47Speaker 4: But I'm certain it's actually diamonds.
- 48:50Speaker 1: But I do agree with you. I think there is
- 48:53Speaker 1: no greater present that can be given to your partner
- 48:57Speaker 1: who has just given birth to your child, then being
- 49:00Speaker 1: entirely present, giving their time, their energy to helping around
- 49:06Speaker 1: the house to being an attentive partner, cooking, cleaning, doing
- 49:11Speaker 1: everything they can to lighten the load for their partner.
- 49:14Speaker 1: That is the best gift of all, well said, my.
- 49:16Speaker 4: Wife's a jeweler. She's got all in your own present.
