- 8:33Speaker 2: I suggest you jump in there right now and join.
- 8:35Speaker 2: This one is from Francesca. Okay, she has written in
- 8:38Speaker 2: and she said things you've never tried that always surprise people. Okay,
- 8:43Speaker 2: some very interesting answers. I'm not here to judge anyone.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Is it that I've never tried or my kids have
- 8:48Speaker 1: never tried?
- 8:49Speaker 2: Well, this is for parents, Okay, so I thought I'm
- 8:52Speaker 2: going to ask you if there's anything your child hasn't
- 8:54Speaker 2: tried in just the second to hold that thought. But
- 8:56Speaker 2: some of the people wrote in and again, not here
- 8:59Speaker 2: to judge, but it's it's interesting this is for educational purposes. Jenny,
- 9:03Speaker 2: she never watched a footy game. Never surely passively she
- 9:08Speaker 2: has well, I mean I'm taking this as she's never once, wow, willingly,
- 9:14Speaker 2: passively unwillingly.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Well, surely if you're flicking through the channels and a
- 9:17Speaker 1: bit of foot is that classified?
- 9:19Speaker 2: And she just I don't know, literally, Deborah never had oysters.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Deborah Nicole never had coffee beer.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Get this eggs, coffee beer and eggs. Yeah, that's pretty
- 9:33Speaker 1: much my diet, very good.
- 9:37Speaker 2: But I wanted to know, is there anything that your
- 9:40Speaker 2: kids have never, never had, never tried to killer?
- 9:43Speaker 1: Okay, there's one whiskey Macy has actually, and I'll tell
- 9:49Speaker 1: you why has never had full cream milk?
- 9:53Speaker 2: Interesting that I know of.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Interesting And she is mine and most of her meals
- 9:58Speaker 1: and consumption happens around me.
- 10:01Speaker 2: So why no full cream milk?
- 10:03Speaker 1: So when Oscar was a baby, you had a dairy intolerance.
- 10:08Speaker 1: So my wife and Oscar sort of just came adapted
- 10:11Speaker 1: to oat milk. That's right, And we never really, we
- 10:15Speaker 1: never went back.
- 10:16Speaker 2: I don't know about what about baby chinos, No, they're
- 10:20Speaker 2: oat milk. You get oat milk baby chinos.
- 10:22Speaker 1: As far as I know you are a wanker. It
- 10:25Speaker 1: wasn't me. It's not me. I'm not getting oatmealk baby Chino,
- 10:28Speaker 1: it's April.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I take that back.
- 10:30Speaker 1: It's just beautiful and perfect. Yeah. So as far as
- 10:33Speaker 1: I know. Look, honestly, some of those baby Chinos could
- 10:35Speaker 1: have been a full cream milk. But I haven't willingly
- 10:38Speaker 1: given her. Not not that I would not if she didn't.
- 10:41Speaker 1: If she asked, I'd give it to her. I'm not withholding.
- 10:43Speaker 1: I'm not gaykeey man.
- 10:44Speaker 2: What's with you? And keep it all. You don't like
- 10:46Speaker 2: full cream?
- 10:47Speaker 1: I do? I do, but not I don't drink a
- 10:49Speaker 1: lot of milk anyway, because I feel like makes you
- 10:52Speaker 1: think athy, what about you? What about your kids?
- 10:59Speaker 2: My kids have never tried going a full day without
- 11:02Speaker 2: fucking complaining? Oh God, gone a full night's sleep?
- 11:09Speaker 1: Ever?
- 11:10Speaker 2: No, probably once or twice. Wow, I think no, Not
- 11:15Speaker 2: to make it sound like my kids have experienced all
- 11:17Speaker 2: that life has to offer. I don't know. I'm just
- 11:23Speaker 2: nothing springs to mind. My guy.
- 11:25Speaker 1: We'll have think about it anyway, we come back next week.
- 11:26Speaker 1: You talk about it. But is that at the end

- 12:16Speaker 1: seems to be tracking along nicely. I'm just waiting for
- 12:19Speaker 1: something to go wrong.
- 12:19Speaker 2: This is I want to jinx it. But this is
- 12:22Speaker 2: it's such a great place. Yeah, I'm looking around. I've
- 12:25Speaker 2: been both bathrooms, ship in both bathrooms.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I've done one Wii in one poo Yeah, but you
- 12:30Speaker 1: pooed in the on suite immediate as soon as you're walking.
- 12:32Speaker 1: So Matt walks in and goes, this is lovely. Where's
- 12:36Speaker 1: the toilet?
- 12:37Speaker 2: There?
- 12:37Speaker 1: It is in the master. I didn't even close the door,
- 12:42Speaker 1: and then you have the audacity to leave the fan
- 12:45Speaker 1: on and shut the door to cost me thousands.
- 12:48Speaker 2: It's a fan, it's the exhaust fan. It's not the heater.
- 12:52Speaker 2: It's electricity, very stinky.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Open a window, it was already open. Oh my goodness.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I turned the fan on to be considerate.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, right, it's great.
- 13:03Speaker 2: It's lovely.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I haven't even turned in the garage yet. That's the
- 13:05Speaker 1: best part.
- 13:06Speaker 2: I know, I haven't had the grand tour just yet.
- 13:08Speaker 2: But no, it's amazing, well done.
- 13:10Speaker 1: If you were happy, the kids are happy. I'm happy.
- 13:13Speaker 1: There's a kids playground just there. There's all these bike
- 13:15Speaker 1: pass around the cafes back in the picture. But we'll
- 13:18Speaker 1: talk about the move itself later on as we talk
- 13:22Speaker 1: about what's going on with you.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Look Ash, there's no easy way to say this. No,
- 13:29Speaker 2: he's a way to say this. I think it's important
- 13:31Speaker 2: at this point just to remind people who may be
- 13:34Speaker 2: listening right now that regardless of who the individual is, Okay,
- 13:39Speaker 2: no one is perfect. Sure we all make mistakes, do
- 13:43Speaker 2: we Okay, every one of us. You've made many? What
- 13:48Speaker 2: as I I you know, I'm constantly learning, because when
- 13:51Speaker 2: you make a mistake, it's important that you take something
- 13:54Speaker 2: out of that.
- 13:55Speaker 1: I stand by all my mistakes.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've made a big mistake.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Oh we're talking about you all right, now here we go.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Probably my biggest mistake of the year, of the year,
- 14:09Speaker 2: I reckon. Yeah, I'll put it up there. It's all right,
- 14:12Speaker 2: it's a good one.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Go on.
- 14:13Speaker 2: So when we had Marley and Lola, my first two children,
- 14:17Speaker 2: for anyone wondering, we had them in the public health system,
- 14:22Speaker 2: which is great.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Yeah, in Australia, it's amazing.
- 14:24Speaker 2: The Royal Women's Hospital over around week, great hospital. Okay,
- 14:28Speaker 2: we loved it there. You know, we had a great experience.
- 14:32Speaker 2: But for each of those berths, we were out of
- 14:35Speaker 2: there as quickly as we could. Laura was like, we
- 14:38Speaker 2: good to go, let's wrap this up. I'm packing my bags,
- 14:41Speaker 2: I'm going home.
- 14:42Speaker 1: She wants to go home.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, she wanted to go home, like just super quick.
- 14:46Speaker 2: We had about one night, one night out of there.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in there for like five nights.
- 14:51Speaker 2: But April had s section two sections yeah, which is understandable.
- 14:56Speaker 2: And then number three we look back and we go
- 15:00Speaker 2: we're going to do it differently. We're going to make
- 15:01Speaker 2: sure that Laura has a bit of time in there,
- 15:03Speaker 2: a few nights, just to rest up, enjoy some one
- 15:06Speaker 2: on one time with a newborn. I'm going to look
- 15:09Speaker 2: after the kids at home. Great dad, Yeah, great dad. Okay,
- 15:13Speaker 2: and we're going to do that private. Okay, yep, in
- 15:17Speaker 2: the private system.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Okay, yep.
- 15:19Speaker 2: Okay, why not? Okay, that's the plan, good plan.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Yeah, we did both private.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, thank you. There's a problem.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Oh okay, what is it? What have you done?
- 15:29Speaker 2: Okay? Hospitals are very expensive, they are you do not
- 15:33Speaker 2: make them cheaper?
- 15:34Speaker 1: Insurance? Yes? Oh no?
- 15:37Speaker 2: Two issues? Two issues here, oh god. Issue number one.
- 15:43Speaker 2: My insurance bill was due December last year. Okay, okay,
- 15:48Speaker 2: we're now in September.
- 15:51Speaker 1: It's not that far over.
- 15:55Speaker 2: So my insurance has been canceled.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Oh fuck, yeah, but you're not pregnant.
- 16:00Speaker 2: No. I like what you're doing here. The other issue
- 16:07Speaker 2: is admin falls into my drain. I'm aware when we
- 16:11Speaker 2: got insurance, I had the option, oh god, to get bronze,
- 16:15Speaker 2: silver or gold. Okay, so I've managed to wheezel my
- 16:19Speaker 2: way to get the insurance renewed. The issue is I
- 16:23Speaker 2: opted for the Bronze. Okay, if you cut a leg off,
- 16:27Speaker 2: you cover it. Great, great, great, great ambulance trip you
- 16:30Speaker 2: cover it, no problem, fantastic, just excess right. Dental work,
- 16:33Speaker 2: you cover it. Okay, But Bronze, you're not covered for pregnancies. Pregnancy,
- 16:37Speaker 2: stay our pregnancy, stay well all pregnancy.
- 16:42Speaker 1: Okay.
- 16:42Speaker 2: And I was like, that's okay, I'll just like to
- 16:45Speaker 2: add that in please. Now when is she expecting next week?
- 16:50Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 16:52Speaker 2: It turns out just a little bit of a lesson
- 16:55Speaker 2: for people who may not know this. If you want
- 16:57Speaker 2: to change your insurance, you gotta wait twelve months before
- 16:59Speaker 2: you can claim it.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Right, So in a minute, I still claim it, though, No,
- 17:05Speaker 1: oh you can't.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Laura would have to wait four months until now she
- 17:09Speaker 2: would have to get pregnant again. Yeah, I said, look,
- 17:11Speaker 2: can you just hold a little longer? How long have
- 17:13Speaker 2: I got? Twelve months? It? When it is three you
- 17:15Speaker 2: can give birth the one three eleven months and twenty
- 17:18Speaker 2: nine days.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Oh man, that's a grave mistake.
- 17:22Speaker 2: A little bit, a little bit, that's tough. Yeah, she
- 17:25Speaker 2: wasn't happy about it, and I just I.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Was just gonna ask what Laura say? What were exact words.
- 17:31Speaker 2: I think she took it pretty well. I think she
- 17:33Speaker 2: took it pretty well. So now we're kind of trying
- 17:35Speaker 2: to figure out what to do right before the baby
- 17:38Speaker 2: comes out.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Can you quickly switch back over to the public system, yes,
- 17:43Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, yeah, anytime, anytime. So if you mean,
- 17:48Speaker 1: oh my god.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Because you know, if it's public, so if you have
- 17:51Speaker 2: a baby, I think it helps it.
- 17:53Speaker 1: So if you just turned up in having contraptions, yeah.
- 17:57Speaker 2: They just I think the law was just there's always
- 17:58Speaker 2: a bed spare.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Oh my god. Oh that's the spirit.
- 18:08Speaker 2: That was what There's always a bed free somewhere. There's
- 18:12Speaker 2: some chairs in the waiting room, the bloody cleaner's closets. Ah,
- 18:18Speaker 2: look this to this, this is just like a persa,
- 18:22Speaker 2: a bit of word of advice. We can't give advice,
- 18:26Speaker 2: just just like this is advice.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Check your insurance.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Check your insurance. If you're going to have a baby,
- 18:30Speaker 2: make sure you're covered for staying in hospital.
- 18:33Speaker 1: I don't even know if I have insurance.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Because we love insurance in the show.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Yeah right right, so we do say it. We love insurance. Sorry, yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 1: we had a bit of an oversight. That's referring to us.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Don't mention anything mentioned from old episodes. We still get
- 18:54Speaker 2: messages about it.
- 18:55Speaker 1: I'll still wait for them to stop. So, Matt, we
- 18:59Speaker 1: are in this house that you mentioned before, But how
- 19:03Speaker 1: did we get here? Houses a stretch?
- 19:06Speaker 2: What does it all mean?
- 19:07Speaker 1: It's a unit, houses a stretch, It's a townhouse. It
- 19:12Speaker 1: was a penthouse of the town It is a penthouse
- 19:14Speaker 1: of the townhouse. I do call it, referred to it
- 19:16Speaker 1: as the penthouse. But how did we get here?
- 19:18Speaker 2: Yeah? Tell me so?
- 19:19Speaker 1: As you know, I returned from Bali?
- 19:22Speaker 2: Yeah, which trip?
- 19:23Speaker 1: Was this the one only leisure trip I've had this year?
- 19:27Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 19:27Speaker 1: Okay, thank you very much. Even I'm going to cruise
- 19:29Speaker 1: this week. Anyway, am I returned from there to having
- 19:33Speaker 1: to go straight into the move. Okay, we already knew that.
- 19:36Speaker 1: We sort of pre packed and threw a lot of
- 19:38Speaker 1: stuff out before.
- 19:39Speaker 2: A quickly is do you need any help? Is there
- 19:41Speaker 2: anything you want me to do?
- 19:42Speaker 1: Too late for that? Thank you for offering, appreciate it.
- 19:46Speaker 1: So we get back. Prior to that, we were throwing
- 19:50Speaker 1: things out, we talked about Marketplace and how annoying that
- 19:54Speaker 1: is also what I think is very funny. April wanted
- 19:57Speaker 1: to get rid of a mirror. How do you take
- 19:59Speaker 1: a photo of mirror? And if you do a little
- 20:03Speaker 1: Google and it's like people taking pictures of mirrors. So
- 20:06Speaker 1: it's so funny. And Averyone's like, what do I do?
- 20:09Speaker 1: And then she was like, every angle it's got something
- 20:11Speaker 1: I don't want. I'm just like, it's just it's just
- 20:13Speaker 1: a mirror, mirror. Well that thing is gone, do you
- 20:17Speaker 1: sell it?
- 20:17Speaker 2: Give it away?
- 20:18Speaker 1: And she just gave it away.
- 20:19Speaker 2: But it's not like April.
- 20:20Speaker 1: She gave what do you mean? She gave away a
- 20:24Speaker 1: lot of stuff. But she was a bit overwhelmed because
- 20:27Speaker 1: when as soon as you put up free, it's.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Just like, dude, so brew, what am I saying? Oh,
- 20:35Speaker 2: you could put something on for five bucks, get no nibbles?
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yeah, for free, you get less harassed.
- 20:42Speaker 2: I know.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Avery was like, I'm just stressed. I'm like you wanted to.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I was like, it's free. What's the difference if a
- 20:48Speaker 1: ghost of someone who goes in the bin? To me,
- 20:50Speaker 1: no difference.
- 20:51Speaker 2: I think it's just knowing that you're not being wasteful.
- 20:55Speaker 2: I don't care for that was the second line.
- 20:58Speaker 1: I don't care for that sentence. I don't I honestly
- 21:03Speaker 1: do not care. Do not give a fucking rats ass
- 21:06Speaker 1: where the free shit ends up, as long as it's
- 21:08Speaker 1: not just dumped on the street, which is which which
- 21:13Speaker 1: we didn't do. We was free, or it was a
- 21:15Speaker 1: council cleanup, or a friend took it or threw it
- 21:18Speaker 1: in the fucking rubbish or whatever. But yeah, so we
- 21:22Speaker 1: got back straight into moving mode. The only problem is
- 21:25Speaker 1: Matt I seem to on the way home pick up
- 21:28Speaker 1: what they call a parasite.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Oh my god, did you though?
- 21:32Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, I never want to. You know how bad
- 21:38Speaker 1: it is when you've got you's still sick. No, no,
- 21:40Speaker 1: I come, I came good like Saturday. You know what
- 21:44Speaker 1: it's like when you a bit. You know, when you're
- 21:47Speaker 1: you've got barley, belly, gashtro whatever those sort of things are.
- 21:50Speaker 1: You're just so depleted because weak, you're weak.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Try and move in a house and it's like, I like,
- 21:56Speaker 2: it's like one of the most stressful experiences that anyone
- 21:58Speaker 2: can go through in their entire life.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Pick up a pillow and I'm like I need to help,
- 22:03Speaker 1: I need to muscle.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Yeah, how did April? Because she's strong, she is, she's
- 22:09Speaker 2: very strong. That's a compliment.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Oh I know, And she is very strong at the moment.
- 22:13Speaker 1: It's crazy. She is training hard, training the house down.
- 22:16Speaker 2: I'm hoping that she comes back and I can be
- 22:18Speaker 2: like lift that couch.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Lift it over your head, squat on it now, just
- 22:23Speaker 1: like she's not your circus animal.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Did you do it solo? Did you have a moval list?
- 22:28Speaker 1: We had, so we for all the big stuff, which
- 22:31Speaker 1: which was a full day of them. So they put
- 22:33Speaker 1: it all up there, bring it down, bring it all
- 22:35Speaker 1: in here.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Far Togo was a five minutes five minutes, so it worked.
- 22:39Speaker 1: It worked out. It's still expensive, but worth every because
- 22:43Speaker 1: I could not have done it, we would still be
- 22:44Speaker 1: up there. I was so weak. I was like carrying
- 22:48Speaker 1: or I was carrying like I could carry a box.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I'm not going to be specific. What was in the box?
- 22:53Speaker 2: Please go ahead.
- 22:55Speaker 1: It was empty. April had to carry a majority of it.
- 23:00Speaker 1: But I have been a workhorse since I've been like
- 23:02Speaker 1: fixing things, changing things.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Who made this table? I made?
- 23:06Speaker 1: I bang that together with a drill or screwdriver? No,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I just see classic allan key.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Wait until you get a drill.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I'm worried. If I get a drill, I'll change.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Look at me. He's still as pathetic as always.
- 23:23Speaker 1: So yeah, there's but the problem is with moves as well.
- 23:26Speaker 1: There's always a lot of rubbish. No matter how much
- 23:28Speaker 1: you prep and throw you out, there's always rubbish. And
- 23:31Speaker 1: I will say that I I was caught again a
- 23:38Speaker 1: while back. I told you that I was putting rubbish
- 23:40Speaker 1: in the name of bin and they drove in the
- 23:41Speaker 1: driveway as I was doing it.
- 23:42Speaker 2: What it was on the street.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, For a second, I thought, I mean, I'm
- 23:47Speaker 1: in the kitchen eating cereal.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Don't check the bins.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I got caught and I was like, anyway, but.
- 23:55Speaker 2: That's playing on. I got caught.
- 23:56Speaker 1: But people are weird with their bits.
- 23:58Speaker 2: People are weird, dude. Yeah, by recycling cardboard, like the
- 24:02Speaker 2: anxiety I get trying to manage the recycling.
- 24:05Speaker 1: It's a full time job.
- 24:06Speaker 2: And I put all the bins on the street and
- 24:09Speaker 2: I put recycling in their bin as they were let
- 24:13Speaker 2: the dog out for a week, and I was face
- 24:15Speaker 2: to face with them and it was like I was
- 24:16Speaker 2: selling drugs.
- 24:19Speaker 1: And you're like, it was like you were eating out
- 24:21Speaker 1: of the ban in there. This was a bit different.
- 24:25Speaker 1: So I left it for it to be dark.
- 24:31Speaker 2: You put like a battleclaver On.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I left it to be dark, and I knew
- 24:35Speaker 1: my target. I knew the bin. I knew that that
- 24:38Speaker 1: one's going to be half for because yeah, elderly, yeah,
- 24:42Speaker 1: and I don't see him very much.
- 24:44Speaker 2: He's lonely.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like, that's my next target. I can't
- 24:47Speaker 1: go back up to the other one because they'll see
- 24:49Speaker 1: me and they'll be like.
- 24:51Speaker 2: How late did you leave it?
- 24:53Speaker 1: I just thought it was dark enough. It was dark.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Got to wait till nine o'clock. Oh no, that's when
- 24:57Speaker 2: he's clean.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Up, gummied out, and I'm melting into the cow.
- 25:01Speaker 2: I did my best work. After nine o'clock, I'm roaming
- 25:04Speaker 2: the streets.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm giggling the street. Anyway, So I went out there,
- 25:09Speaker 1: I opened the bin, okay, and I went I put
- 25:14Speaker 1: went to put the rubbish in, and I looked to
- 25:17Speaker 1: my rat and there was three people around a car anyway.
- 25:23Speaker 1: They looked at me. Gotcha, they had a torch and
- 25:27Speaker 1: a car hang on, sorry anyway there, and I've dumped
- 25:33Speaker 1: it and put it down and looked at them, and
- 25:35Speaker 1: they looked at me. And I've realized they must have
- 25:38Speaker 1: locked their keys in their car. But they looked like
- 25:41Speaker 1: they were committing a crime. So I went and they
- 25:44Speaker 1: went back to what they were doing, and we just
- 25:47Speaker 1: went out separate ways. And I was like, whoa, what
- 25:52Speaker 1: I was doing was not illegal, same for you, because
- 25:54Speaker 1: you obviously it was obvious that I was just looking
- 25:58Speaker 1: so sass here I am that he can rubbish into
- 26:00Speaker 1: a bin, and they look like they're trying to steal
- 26:02Speaker 1: a car on the same street. If someone I drove
- 26:03Speaker 1: down the street, they would have been like, oh god,
- 26:08Speaker 1: the crime anyway, So I went on my way and
- 26:14Speaker 1: I left it at that, and I thought, this new
- 26:17Speaker 1: place ruin is the complex. So someone else takes the
- 26:19Speaker 1: bins out, which is what's that like?
- 26:21Speaker 2: You haven't experience?
- 26:21Speaker 1: You had one day one last week. I got home
- 26:24Speaker 1: from a busy day, got home, pulled up out the front.
- 26:28Speaker 1: The bins are out the front, looking nice, not out
- 26:31Speaker 1: of place at all. You could set your watch by
- 26:34Speaker 1: how straight it was. And then I was like, I'm
- 26:37Speaker 1: just going to have a look at the man's work
- 26:39Speaker 1: or woman's work, whoever does I don't know, And it's
- 26:41Speaker 1: like all the bins are like perfectly leveled nice. I
- 26:44Speaker 1: was like, this is liven.
- 26:45Speaker 2: This is great question is there a pool in this complex?
- 26:49Speaker 1: No?
- 26:50Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry not to.
- 26:52Speaker 1: No, which gladly not because it just wheaked your strata
- 26:55Speaker 1: up there he is, because you've got to maintain the
- 26:57Speaker 1: funt there he is.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Wow, I can't wait, Ash caun't wake. I think when
- 27:03Speaker 2: we started working together you were like, I'm never going
- 27:05Speaker 2: to buy a house. That's idiots.
- 27:07Speaker 1: I was forced into this bye by my beautiful, loving wife.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I mean, wow, what you have to go through the
- 27:16Speaker 2: pain of the agony.
- 27:17Speaker 1: But I'm glad we're here now, I'm glad we're here.
- 27:20Speaker 1: I'm not and it worked it out. Excuse me? Enough money?
- 27:23Speaker 2: This is pocket change.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Do everything for free? What do you mean you're getting
- 27:26Speaker 1: paid for this? What I do like is Oscar we
- 27:31Speaker 1: worked out. Oscar has moved seven times and he's six.
- 27:36Speaker 2: My sister's similar in that they flipped houses pretty frequently,
- 27:39Speaker 2: so every year they moved house, and their kids were like, hey, mom,
- 27:44Speaker 2: we spoke to the other kids at school and none
- 27:47Speaker 2: of them are moved house.
- 27:48Speaker 1: That's because they're.
- 27:53Speaker 2: So it's just the norm for him.
- 27:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and Oscar, Remember we moved into that last place,
- 27:57Speaker 1: which was always going to be temporary because it was
- 27:59Speaker 1: a friend's player. It just happened. The timing just worked
- 28:01Speaker 1: out nicely. I remember like a week or two in
- 28:03Speaker 1: Oscar's like so when we moved to our next house
- 28:06Speaker 1: and I was like, oh fuck, and then April was
- 28:08Speaker 1: like it can't be good for him and the anxiety
- 28:11Speaker 1: around all of it.
- 28:12Speaker 2: What does he think? What does Macey think? More importantly, Macy,
- 28:15Speaker 2: she loves it so far, so I guess like, well done.
- 28:22Speaker 1: It's now do you know what they really like? And
- 28:23Speaker 1: that's the thing is with their bedroom now, because it's
- 28:26Speaker 1: not a rental. I'm like, you could do whatever you
- 28:27Speaker 1: want in here, drawing the walls, whatever you want to
- 28:30Speaker 1: the corn. Don't do either of those things. I just
- 28:33Speaker 1: meant like, if you go in there, then she's got
- 28:35Speaker 1: the wall. She's got a bluey poster. Cherry Evans is
- 28:38Speaker 1: on the wall for Oscar. There's a manly flag, there's
- 28:41Speaker 1: a Pokemon.
- 28:42Speaker 2: It's weird. It's weird looking at you right now. There's
- 28:46Speaker 2: a homeowner. You're such an adult.
- 28:48Speaker 1: I know, when did I become a fucking story?
- 28:50Speaker 2: I know it's like I'm going next week you'll have
- 28:53Speaker 2: a bloody jump around your neck talking about buying a yacht.
- 28:56Speaker 1: I just got off my yacht.
- 28:57Speaker 2: You were morphing.
- 28:59Speaker 1: I'm not one of my going into upper class norsere.

- 29:08Speaker 2: okay start for I want to be free as you say, what.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Man, I feel like a parent.
- 29:26Speaker 2: Anyone who doesn't know what parents are. It is just
- 29:28Speaker 2: an opportunity for parents to get whatever frustrations they're experiencing
- 29:32Speaker 2: for the week off their chest, to feel some comfort,
- 29:36Speaker 2: some solace, solace. Would you say solace?
- 29:40Speaker 1: I am not solace.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Type in s O L.
- 29:44Speaker 1: I see comfort or consolation in time of distress or sad.

- 31:24Speaker 2: up awards at school, but I cannot even bribe her
- 31:27Speaker 2: to do it at home. And she makes such a
- 31:29Speaker 2: mess with her toys. I just told her, if she
- 31:32Speaker 2: doesn't clean up her mess, I'll get the garbage bag
- 31:34Speaker 2: and throw away all her toys. She said, hey, Mom,
- 31:37Speaker 2: let me get that bag for you. Oh my god,

- 32:10Speaker 1: like it's like if Matt jumped off the bridge, would
- 32:14Speaker 1: you jump off the bridge too? And it's like, oh yeah,
- 32:16Speaker 1: I'd push her, like you know what I mean.
- 32:19Speaker 2: It's also someone once said to me, you shouldn't make
- 32:21Speaker 2: threats that you can't follow through, and at the moment
- 32:24Speaker 2: Marley's similar. She's really pushing the boundaries. And I'm like,
- 32:28Speaker 2: if you talk to me one more time like that,
- 32:29Speaker 2: we're going home. And she's like, fucking sweet, no we're not.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Let's go bluffer yeah, and I'm like, I want to
- 32:35Speaker 2: go home. Macy's the same.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Macy's starting to become the sas queen where she'll just
- 32:43Speaker 1: sash you back instead of doing what I've asked.
- 32:46Speaker 2: When is Macey going to be here? I get to
- 32:48Speaker 2: see her? Maybe?
- 32:49Speaker 1: Maybe should We just finished today's episode with some questions.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Yeah, ash This one is from Dannyelle.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Hi, Dannielle.
- 32:58Speaker 2: She asks what age did you try stop needing to
- 33:00Speaker 2: wear pull ups at night? Did you try anything that helped?
- 33:04Speaker 2: Oldest child needed to use a bed wedding alarm and
- 33:06Speaker 2: succeeded in using it for the recommended two weeks? The
- 33:09Speaker 2: youngest is only five and a half years old, but
- 33:11Speaker 2: we hope to help move things forward this summer.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Okay, so they want to get out of nappies correctletely.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Yeah from what I remember, and Macy still will wear
- 33:22Speaker 1: him at night.
- 33:23Speaker 2: How old's Macy?
- 33:24Speaker 1: She's going to be four yep, but she's she's.
- 33:26Speaker 2: In the cusp of going without.
- 33:28Speaker 1: She's about to go the night, but all days will
- 33:30Speaker 1: go without. And she has done for ages, but she
- 33:32Speaker 1: hasn't quite nailed the nighttime. What to do at night?
- 33:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's such potlark. You need to get
- 33:39Speaker 2: a child ash that I think finds it really easy
- 33:43Speaker 2: and they do it themselves.
- 33:44Speaker 1: It was like Oscar. Oscar was really like and I
- 33:47Speaker 1: think with boys, because they can just whip it out
- 33:49Speaker 1: in a piece of a bush somewhere that they're like,
- 33:51Speaker 1: he just all of a sudden, like just took to it.
- 33:54Speaker 2: So what did you do with Oscar to go, Okay,
- 33:57Speaker 2: you're ready to stop wearing pull ups at night?
- 34:01Speaker 1: I think I recall that he didn't want to wear
- 34:04Speaker 1: them anymore, and we were like, all right, well, if
- 34:06Speaker 1: you don't want to wear them all anymore, you've got
- 34:08Speaker 1: to go to the toilet before you go to sleep. Firstly,
- 34:11Speaker 1: you're such a good dad, thank you. And then if
- 34:14Speaker 1: you need to eat, there's a nightlight in there so
- 34:16Speaker 1: you can get up and go. Don't just piss in
- 34:18Speaker 1: your bed, And that's great advice, thank you. And the
- 34:23Speaker 1: same with Macy. She's sort of like the first step
- 34:27Speaker 1: she just I just walked in and she was taking
- 34:30Speaker 1: a shit and she was holding a book and I'm like, well,
- 34:34Speaker 1: my job is done here. But she's getting She's a
- 34:37Speaker 1: bit harder at night, I think because I think being
- 34:41Speaker 1: the second child, we can see her, always see her.
- 34:43Speaker 1: He's like, oh little girl, you know, instead of like
- 34:46Speaker 1: with Oscar, it was like felt like he was growing
- 34:50Speaker 1: up earlier and quicker. But it's it's more just because
- 34:54Speaker 1: he's bigger and she's the little, the little one of
- 34:57Speaker 1: the family. But it's tricky. I guess. I also don't
- 35:00Speaker 1: want to have to be changed in sheets. But we
- 35:02Speaker 1: committed to this summer being the end of nappies. Apparently
- 35:07Speaker 1: not my call.
- 35:07Speaker 2: It is nice.
- 35:08Speaker 1: It is nice to get because it's it's just for
- 35:11Speaker 1: wheeze in bed. But every now and then she'll take
- 35:14Speaker 1: a ship and then I've got to change it. I'm like,
- 35:16Speaker 1: I don't miss this.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Like I walk past the room and it's like she's
- 35:21Speaker 2: just mouth opens, big guy.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Anyway, that's my I don't know when you do it
- 35:29Speaker 1: three or four, you.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Got to what I think if you there's not advice,
- 35:35Speaker 2: but if you are a full week with dry nappies,
- 35:38Speaker 2: oh yeah, and then you can just float the idea.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Hey kid, here's an idea. What do you think about
- 35:44Speaker 2: not wearing nappers a nighttime?
- 35:46Speaker 1: I think kids love the love progression as much as
- 35:48Speaker 1: we love progression. Yeah, because if you're like, well, that's awesome,
- 35:51Speaker 1: they're like, oh, yeah, you know, I'm doing well, I'm
- 35:53Speaker 1: doing well. What about that lady who was trying to
- 35:55Speaker 1: who was bloody training a five week old baby? Who
- 35:59Speaker 1: was but I sent to you.
- 36:01Speaker 2: I don't watch. I'm sorry, Oh my god.
- 36:04Speaker 1: The comments are the funny five week old? Yeah, five
- 36:07Speaker 1: weeks She is currently five weeks old. She's not even
- 36:12Speaker 1: an American domination communication, and she hasn't done a poo in
- 36:17Speaker 1: her NEPI in the last week. Pretty much. I am
- 36:20Speaker 1: listening to her cues. Check the comments the best to go,
- 36:24Speaker 1: so pretty much she goes in the morning between seven
- 36:26Speaker 1: and nine and then in the afternoon between.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Two and four.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It'd be so funny that could just let one read
- 36:35Speaker 1: right there, read the comments. This week, she's starting to
- 36:38Speaker 1: hold them herself, so she's learning to hold until we're
- 36:42Speaker 1: on the toilet, and then she'll let go once we're there.
- 36:46Speaker 1: Check the comments is the best?
- 36:48Speaker 2: That is not real? That is not real?
- 36:51Speaker 1: Read the comments.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Okay, here are the comments. My five weeks old is
- 36:55Speaker 2: already starting to drive. She's going to go to license soon.
- 37:01Speaker 2: There was one that was my nineteen year old cleaner
- 37:05Speaker 2: room today. That's not real.
- 37:10Speaker 1: It's not real.
- 37:11Speaker 2: That's rage baiting at its finest.
- 37:13Speaker 1: My newborn drove me home from the hospital after being born. Wow, anyway,
- 37:22Speaker 1: I don't be like that.
- 37:23Speaker 2: I mean, is it possible?
- 37:25Speaker 1: Apparently there's there's a subculture that that was the case
- 37:31Speaker 1: in early early generations where they would they then yeah,
- 37:36Speaker 1: like there's a word for I can't remember. Sorry, I'm
- 37:39Speaker 1: not that smart.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Anyway, My question, how's as being like, oh, yeah, she's
- 37:42Speaker 2: four and still wear and pull up nappies. Are they
- 37:45Speaker 2: looking at us and being like you guys are pathetic.
- 37:47Speaker 1: And like what like that baby doesn't know what it's doing. Nah,
- 37:51Speaker 1: you're what they call And the technical term is called delulu.
- 37:56Speaker 1: She's delusional and that's the technical.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Maybe I'm going to potty train our five we got.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Laura is going to let me do it. Now, don't
- 38:04Speaker 1: you dare be coming out of there? Shit, don't you
- 38:08Speaker 1: dare come into this world and.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Ship into Nabby gon't even think about it?
- 38:14Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I've got one more question before we
- 38:16Speaker 1: let the folks of the two Doting Dad's universe go
- 38:20Speaker 1: back to their daily lives. From Anna, what age did
- 38:24Speaker 1: you transition lot to transitions? What age did you transition
- 38:28Speaker 1: your kids to a big bed? What did your nighttime
- 38:32Speaker 1: routine look like to put them to sleep? Look, we
- 38:37Speaker 1: approached it with big bed being like a big moment, right,
- 38:42Speaker 1: So how old was three? Both kids three?
- 38:45Speaker 2: I don't even remember.
- 38:46Speaker 1: It was the third we do it? Third, we did
- 38:49Speaker 1: it third. I say, like, we do it like we
- 38:51Speaker 1: I'm going to do it again, but I've had it
- 38:52Speaker 1: a second me. I can't do it again. April can
- 38:53Speaker 1: do it again, she wants at three. It was kind
- 38:57Speaker 1: of like fifth third birthday along with things, it's not
- 39:00Speaker 1: their only present. I'm like cruel, Like with third birthday
- 39:04Speaker 1: you get a big bed, and it was like and
- 39:06Speaker 1: we made it so it was to the so that
- 39:09Speaker 1: they were excited about it. So because it's a big
- 39:12Speaker 1: milester it is it is, but I also wanted them
- 39:15Speaker 1: to be excited so they didn't get out of it.
- 39:16Speaker 1: If I'm like, I've got to get you out of
- 39:18Speaker 1: that cod if they love it so much, Oh, I
- 39:19Speaker 1: can put you into big bed. There's no excitement. So
- 39:21Speaker 1: they're just like, I'll just fucking get out of this thing.
- 39:23Speaker 1: But like they don't get me wrong, they still get
- 39:26Speaker 1: out of it and get into my bed every now
- 39:27Speaker 1: and then. But like it was like you've got a
- 39:30Speaker 1: big bed. They come home from school or daycare on
- 39:32Speaker 1: their birthday, they'll have a brand new bed with a
- 39:36Speaker 1: new Princess Dooner cover on it, and all of a
- 39:39Speaker 1: sudden make he's like, I'm never getting out of this thing.
- 39:40Speaker 1: And I'm like, good, you.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Can make anything a big deal for the kids. Oh
- 39:45Speaker 2: and they'll believe it. Oh if you were like you're
- 39:47Speaker 2: so lucky you're getting broccoli for dinner and they're like, really,
- 39:52Speaker 2: I am pretty lucky. Yeah you're right.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's why we have that segment lies
- 39:57Speaker 1: so you can add them to your ad, those little
- 39:59Speaker 1: lines because they are stupid.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I don't even remember, dude, I can't. For me, someone
- 40:05Speaker 2: had to go with me on the Sassy Scott video
- 40:07Speaker 2: because they were like, all newborns need to eat every
- 40:10Speaker 2: three hours, and I was like.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Do they.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Like I can't remember.
- 40:15Speaker 1: I can't remember details, like what's going on in your
- 40:18Speaker 1: life that you've got to stop and correct someone to say, hey, Matt,
- 40:23Speaker 1: you're an idiot.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like sorry, I was sorry, let him
- 40:27Speaker 2: know what dated?
- 40:28Speaker 1: But what if it's what if they're like, what if
- 40:30Speaker 1: that person probably doesn't have any kids. I was just like, well,
- 40:33Speaker 1: I'm assuming that that would need to every three hours.
- 40:35Speaker 2: But our nighttime routine, and I'm pretty sure this is universal, right,
- 40:39Speaker 2: I feel like everyone's on the same routine. Okay, tell
- 40:42Speaker 2: me you don't.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Assume lots of different types of parents out there.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Okay, So we smack our children in the head, yes, yeah,
- 40:50Speaker 2: and that puts them a sleep pretty well? What we
- 40:52Speaker 2: do to put into bed? Okay, get this, write this down?
- 40:55Speaker 2: Are you ready for it?
- 40:56Speaker 1: I don't have a pan up here.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Five we're having dinner. Yeah, that's okay, don't don't respond, Okay,
- 41:06Speaker 2: just listen. Okay, listen absltly be a sponge. Just shut
- 41:09Speaker 2: up and get on with it.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Okay.
- 41:13Speaker 2: We're in the bathtime around about six thirty yep, okay,
- 41:17Speaker 2: fifteen minutes in the bar. We're then upstairs we're getting
- 41:22Speaker 2: changed for bed. Seven o'clock. Roughly read a story sometimes
- 41:27Speaker 2: one maybe two, right, and then that is it?
- 41:31Speaker 1: What are you reading?
- 41:32Speaker 2: Day? I think it was absolutely you know what?
- 41:34Speaker 1: And that's it and they're in that's it, and they
- 41:36Speaker 1: do they because they share a room like my kids. Yeah,
- 41:38Speaker 1: they interact after you leave the room much.
- 41:40Speaker 2: Marley's pretty chatty and Lola's always like, shut up, we're
- 41:44Speaker 2: going to fucking bed.
- 41:45Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because like mine.
- 41:47Speaker 2: Lola's tired. Dude, She's like she wants to.
- 41:49Speaker 1: Go to sleep. She knows herself. She's like, I know
- 41:51Speaker 1: me when I go to sleep now, cranky as fuck
- 41:54Speaker 1: tomorrow and I have to take it out of my dad.
- 41:56Speaker 2: Well, I was getting horizontal, just out.
- 41:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:59Speaker 2: And the occasionally occasionally they will be like I want
- 42:02Speaker 2: some more water, But like at the moment, we're pretty good.
- 42:06Speaker 1: We've moved on from the baths to the showers. Your
- 42:10Speaker 1: face was like, do you not wash you kids? Because
- 42:12Speaker 1: I fucking washed my kids. Sorry, but we've moved on
- 42:15Speaker 1: to showers because they're quicker. And I saw I had
- 42:18Speaker 1: another video that was going to show another.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Lady who talked about no toys in the bath.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Smart, yeah, because we always.
- 42:25Speaker 2: When they drop the bucket of toys in the bath,
- 42:28Speaker 2: I'm like, for fux, I'm going to be here all week.
- 42:30Speaker 1: The quarter's cold, and they're like, oh what, you know
- 42:32Speaker 1: the toys outside of the bath too, But it's I
- 42:36Speaker 1: don't like when they're really little and you're like washing
- 42:39Speaker 1: them down and there's some toys to keep them engaged
- 42:42Speaker 1: fine with. But then I didn't even think about not
- 42:44Speaker 1: having them in there. So now in the shower, they
- 42:46Speaker 1: get in, they wash, they brush their teeth, they're out,
- 42:49Speaker 1: they shower, we're doing books. And I also I can
- 42:52Speaker 1: argue the point too, where it's like, because we're not
- 42:56Speaker 1: bathing for fifteen twenty minutes anymore, you get an extra book,
- 43:00Speaker 1: Like we get an extra book time we can lay together.
- 43:03Speaker 1: I don't like reading books. Have a gummy and read
- 43:05Speaker 1: the book. It's so funny. I don't condone that, but
- 43:12Speaker 1: I have a prescription so I can. But yeah, that's us.
- 43:17Speaker 1: That's just us for another week, perfect beautiful. Anyway, that's
- 43:21Speaker 1: Bathroom Team. So if you've got any questions.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Does that answer her question?
- 43:26Speaker 1: Do we ever answer anyone's question?
- 43:29Speaker 2: I think it was a serious question from Anna, and
- 43:31Speaker 2: I did write to her. I said, don't worry. I
- 43:32Speaker 2: know we're going to cover this in the next episode.
- 43:34Speaker 2: I just think it's nice that we talked about it. Yeah, Anna,
- 43:36Speaker 2: I hope you're happy.
