- 16:13Speaker 5: in origin on two separate occasions.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Hat trick? I know it. I don't know it.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Turbot is that Tom Traboyvich.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Would be twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Actually, on technicality, that's wrong because it's not not Turbot's
- 16:30Speaker 2: Tom Traboyvitch.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Okay, and correct, I'm going to guess it's twenty nineteen

- 17:35Speaker 4: Correct?
- 17:37Speaker 3: He was never injured? He was he like the last

- 17:43Speaker 3: he only ever did the strengths and conditioning training, never
- 17:46Speaker 3: actual contact training because he never had to, and then
- 17:48Speaker 3: he would make sixty tackles all we can't. I will
- 17:50Speaker 3: say he is a Queenslander, but he is honestly the

- 20:49Speaker 3: birthday present for my son ever.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Speaking news, Vick, what do you got for us? Well,
- 20:56Speaker 1: that's great, thank you. We lost you there, I do.
- 21:04Speaker 2: I'm not telling but I'm.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Not telling you.
- 21:08Speaker 4: No, I do have a good one today.
- 21:10Speaker 5: And I'm curious to see if you guys use these
- 21:13Speaker 5: with your partners. So a new study has found that
- 21:16Speaker 5: pet names you have with your partner might actually be
- 21:18Speaker 5: good for your health. Researchers say hearing affectionate nicknames such
- 21:22Speaker 5: as baby and sweetheart triggers a rush of the feel
- 21:26Speaker 5: good chemicals oxytocin and dopamine. That chemical reaction can lower
- 21:30Speaker 5: stress hormones, slow your heart rate, and leave you feeling calmer, happier,
- 21:34Speaker 5: and more secure.
- 21:35Speaker 4: So even if you hate.
- 21:37Speaker 5: Them, ash pet names might be doing more than just
- 21:40Speaker 5: making new cringe.
- 21:41Speaker 1: You're a big pet.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Name guy, me, you will not. You and Laura call
- 21:45Speaker 3: each other baby all the time.
- 21:46Speaker 2: I don't attack my character like that.
- 21:47Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying it wasn't It was observation. Baby
- 21:50Speaker 3: comes out of you guys a lot. Babe, they baby.
- 21:53Speaker 5: Yeah right, they say baby every sentence. I reckon, sorry,
- 21:58Speaker 5: every greeting.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Now, that's an act. Mine was an observation.
- 22:02Speaker 4: But just reducing the oxytocin.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Is not a pet name. If it's like baby, you
- 22:08Speaker 1: guys do a lot.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not that's standard. That's not that's like,
- 22:12Speaker 2: there's nothing what do you okay? Well, April, whenever you
- 22:15Speaker 2: call April?
- 22:16Speaker 1: She was no problem with that. Baby is where I'm at? Baby?
- 22:21Speaker 1: Play on?
- 22:22Speaker 2: Hey baby?
- 22:23Speaker 1: Yeah like that? What did I do? Yeah?
- 22:27Speaker 5: I say babe, babe. It would be very out of
- 22:30Speaker 5: character for Dan. All right, just say baby. I think
- 22:33Speaker 5: I've once called him sweetheart and he's like, that's weird.
- 22:36Speaker 2: That's weird.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Yeah, hone, you called me the other day.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Sometimes it just comes out. Sorry.
- 22:41Speaker 2: I like it when a woman calls me Han like
- 22:43Speaker 2: an older woman my feet. Sorry, not like that wasn't
- 22:49Speaker 2: I didn't mean to say that to you. Sorry, no,
- 22:53Speaker 2: but of an old woman at the cave is like
- 22:55Speaker 2: here you go, Han, I'm like, oh, you know what
- 22:57Speaker 2: I mean.
- 22:58Speaker 1: What I don't like is the word hubby. Why I
- 23:02Speaker 1: was angry?
- 23:02Speaker 2: Why? What's wrong with her?
- 23:03Speaker 3: I just don't like it. It's icky to me, and
- 23:06Speaker 3: that's just a personal preference. Like April, doesn't dare call
- 23:09Speaker 3: me that because I'm like, no, I'll leave you.
- 23:14Speaker 1: We do.
- 23:14Speaker 3: The only pet names that we have for each other
- 23:17Speaker 3: is when April does something very frank, like I just
- 23:19Speaker 3: call a little Frankie.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Is a little frank that is that is not dropping
- 23:25Speaker 2: oxytocin at all? That?
- 23:27Speaker 1: Yeah, no, because she knows.
- 23:29Speaker 3: She laughs, Like the other day she's like, would you
- 23:30Speaker 3: like a tea? I'm like, okay, Frankie, because Frankie loves tea.
- 23:34Speaker 3: Frank loves tea.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Is or slow and steady. But baby, you're a big
- 23:41Speaker 1: You're big on baby I've known, says Laura.
- 23:43Speaker 2: If I call her my soulmate for sets right after
- 23:46Speaker 2: she loves that?
- 23:47Speaker 1: Really, mate?
- 23:49Speaker 4: Why you did it in the Mother's Day letter?
- 23:51Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's doing absolutely you know that. Any other
- 23:57Speaker 2: then with the kids, I call the kids bubba, which
- 23:59Speaker 2: you know yours? Like what you saying that you're freak?
- 24:01Speaker 1: Yeah. The other day I've got to tell you and.
- 24:03Speaker 2: He was like a fucking loser.

- 24:16Speaker 3: in intently with eight real long round speaker as we.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Laughed and laughed and laughed. Because Matt was like, it's
- 24:21Speaker 1: a popper.
- 24:23Speaker 3: I was like, I can't handle this and hang up
- 24:24Speaker 3: because I'm not baby talk guy either.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Actually, can I pull you up on something?
- 24:29Speaker 1: Did I?
- 24:30Speaker 5: Oh?

- 24:31Speaker 4: Please?
- 24:31Speaker 1: Yes, I hear it.
- 24:33Speaker 2: You forget ash. You forget that as a dad to
- 24:39Speaker 2: a young boy and a young girl actually changes your
- 24:42Speaker 2: tone quite significantly. It does.
- 24:44Speaker 3: You said that, But I like, I only know this
- 24:47Speaker 3: because you pointed out so just so you know, I
- 24:49Speaker 3: wasn't unaware of this until you guys pointed it out.
- 24:54Speaker 4: It's so obvious and I love it.
- 24:57Speaker 5: So you've posted two videos this week of the name.
- 25:00Speaker 4: Could change their names.
- 25:02Speaker 5: The tone and demeanor of the way you talk to
- 25:05Speaker 5: each of your children, it's very different.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Let's have a little listen to how us talk to Oscar.
- 25:09Speaker 3: If we had to change your name to someone rang
- 25:13Speaker 3: me and said, hey, we have to change your name,

- 26:08Speaker 1: I just it's just the bubba. The bubba gets me
- 26:11Speaker 1: because we've brought it up before.

- 28:03Speaker 1: call me shit for brains. That was my nickname.
- 28:06Speaker 2: That's beautiful.
- 28:07Speaker 3: And then when he passed away, sadly, he passed away
- 28:10Speaker 3: from cancer and I had to speak at his funeral.
- 28:12Speaker 2: You speak at a lot of funeral I'm.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Good at it.
- 28:16Speaker 3: My opening line was didn't know what mach no, but
- 28:18Speaker 3: I'm here, I'll talk. My opening line was Pat used
- 28:23Speaker 3: to call me shit for brains, and everyone knew immediately
- 28:26Speaker 3: just the sort of sense of humor he had.
- 28:27Speaker 1: That's just so. I quite like being called ship for brains.
- 28:30Speaker 4: So okay, as long as it wasn't scarring, No, it's
- 28:32Speaker 4: not going but.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I don't. I'm trying to think. April
- 28:37Speaker 1: and I've been together for what fifteen years? Sixteen years?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Come on, sixteen years? I think. I don't think we've
- 28:42Speaker 1: ever had a pet name like a like one that's
- 28:44Speaker 1: stuck that.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Other than babe, and I would say babe is and
- 28:49Speaker 3: probably baby for you guys is in passing, you know,
- 28:52Speaker 3: you would just say.
- 28:53Speaker 1: It like it just rolls off with what do you
- 28:54Speaker 1: call it in the bedroom, mummy the moment chase?
- 29:01Speaker 5: Actually, can I just say though? If Dan doesn't call
- 29:04Speaker 5: me babe and he calls me vic or Victoria.
- 29:07Speaker 4: That is more jarring for me.
- 29:10Speaker 5: Than if he's like, hey, babe, because if he's saying Victoria,
- 29:14Speaker 5: it's like am either not paying attention or I'm in trouble.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it.
- 29:18Speaker 4: It has a reverse effect as well.
- 29:21Speaker 1: She uses my full names.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Distressful moment on the back of that.
- 29:24Speaker 1: If you could pick a pet name that you would
- 29:27Speaker 1: like to be called, what would it be? Just quickly?
- 29:29Speaker 1: Nothing too complex?
- 29:30Speaker 2: Hunky booboo like it schnooks.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I was husband m husband face for a while on
- 29:36Speaker 1: their phone. Otherwise otherwise I like muffin nothing I want to.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Give you.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Would be I don't know what from Bluey.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Anyway, Actually, Dan's in my phone is Dan the Man.
- 29:51Speaker 1: He's in my phone as Dan the Man too. That
- 29:53Speaker 1: was kind of his Dan's Dan Vick's man.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Speaking of pet names, you went away without any kids,
- 30:00Speaker 3: I guarantee you the pet names were flowing all weekend.
- 30:04Speaker 2: What segue?
- 30:09Speaker 1: That's it? I'm off, my parking's out, going to.
- 30:11Speaker 2: Go very good. Yeah. I think I think everyone has
- 30:14Speaker 2: heard enough about the fact that I was away with
- 30:16Speaker 2: no kids on the weekend. Even when I dropped off
- 30:18Speaker 2: the kids at gymnastics. Someone was like, how's your weekend?
- 30:20Speaker 2: How's your kid free weekend? I was like, how do
- 30:22Speaker 2: you know? He's like, you fucking want stop talking about it.
- 30:24Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and tell us again.
- 30:25Speaker 2: So I had no kids on the weekend. We left
- 30:28Speaker 2: on Friday. We went down south to the other dollar
- 30:32Speaker 2: house and the manner and thank you. But it was
- 30:37Speaker 2: a bit of a stressful morning because we wanted to
- 30:39Speaker 2: drop the kids off, get straight down there, you know,
- 30:41Speaker 2: wanted to maximize every second that we had school drop
- 30:45Speaker 2: off and continue and then we'll like Laura was like,
- 30:47Speaker 2: I'm going to just finish packing, so you just drop
- 30:49Speaker 2: them off. The school's like splitting distance down the road.
- 30:52Speaker 2: I'll knit back home, pick up Laura.
- 30:55Speaker 1: We'll go.
- 30:55Speaker 2: We'll get out of there. But it was a bit
- 30:57Speaker 2: of a tricky morning. Everything was a bit slow, the
- 31:00Speaker 2: bags weren't packed, trying to get the kids out of
- 31:02Speaker 2: the door. Also, we stupidly signed the kids up for
- 31:05Speaker 2: Spanish lessons at school. They do Spanish in the morning.
- 31:09Speaker 2: What what because there's no language at school. And then
- 31:13Speaker 2: there's a couple of parents who advocated for Spanish. It's
- 31:15Speaker 2: like a couple of a few Spanish parents, and then
- 31:18Speaker 2: they were like, we need X amount of kids to
- 31:20Speaker 2: sign up to do it on the Friday morning before
- 31:22Speaker 2: school starts, and.
- 31:23Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, fucking man of
- 31:26Speaker 1: the people didn't even do it for him.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Well then and the kids were like, kids were like yeah,
- 31:30Speaker 2: We're like, they're down for that Spanish and then un
- 31:34Speaker 2: nanny Spanish Spanish. So I was like, should we speak
- 31:38Speaker 2: in Spanish? And then when the kids are old enough
- 31:41Speaker 2: and they're fluent in Spanish, they were like, Dad, thank.
- 31:42Speaker 1: You, yes, thank you. It'd be funny.
- 31:45Speaker 3: It was like they do all this Spanish and then
- 31:47Speaker 3: the nanny's like, but don't speak Portuguese.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I'm French. Wow, Okay, are they enjoying it?
- 31:55Speaker 2: Before we go anything, Well, we always forget because it's
- 32:00Speaker 2: because that's you meant to get to school at eight
- 32:05Speaker 2: o'clock and it's always like eight fifteen, and I'm like
- 32:08Speaker 2: just feeling like I'm freaking. I'm like, get the fucking car,
- 32:12Speaker 2: and the kids like what is it. I'm like, it's Spanish. Oh,
- 32:16Speaker 2: I'm always like, for fox sake, So we've got about Spanish.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Trying to get the kids out the door. The kids
- 32:20Speaker 2: were in the car they had this slothy toy which
- 32:23Speaker 2: she's got like long arms on legs, and they kept
- 32:26Speaker 2: like Lola was like whipping it into me. So I
- 32:29Speaker 2: was like whipping me as I'm trying to drive the
- 32:30Speaker 2: kids to school.
- 32:31Speaker 1: That's a hazard and that's dangerous.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Very degous. And I was like hey, multiple times, I
- 32:36Speaker 2: was like, just can you stop doing that? Please? And
- 32:39Speaker 2: I try and grab it and she'd like hide it,
- 32:41Speaker 2: and I was like, Lola, do not know more? Like
- 32:44Speaker 2: that's enough is enough? Did it again? And I fucking
- 32:48Speaker 2: hate that I did this, but I grabbed it and
- 32:51Speaker 2: I said, if you do that one more fucking time,
- 32:53Speaker 2: I'm going to throw this out the window. I mean,
- 32:55Speaker 2: I just I honestly, I really like I hate when
- 32:59Speaker 2: I get so angry that I lose my call. You know,
- 33:03Speaker 2: you get to a point you like blurt out in
- 33:05Speaker 2: frustration something and the kids like they obviously don't enjoy
- 33:08Speaker 2: it at all.
- 33:08Speaker 1: And just ignore me. Damn it. It's the best.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Actually, Lola was kind of like, shut up, you loser.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Yeah. I was just like, chill up.
- 33:16Speaker 2: And I pulled over and I was like, I just
- 33:19Speaker 2: I was the disrespect. I was like, how many times
- 33:22Speaker 2: do I need to fucking ask like.
- 33:25Speaker 1: One more time than you did, like seriously every time.
- 33:28Speaker 2: It's so annoying. And I was like, so annoyed at them,
- 33:32Speaker 2: and then Lola's got a bit of attitude, Marley's a
- 33:34Speaker 2: bit upset. We're late for Spanish now we've just missed
- 33:37Speaker 2: the whole class. And so the last moment of us
- 33:40Speaker 2: together for that weekend was me getting pissed off. And
- 33:43Speaker 2: then I was like walking them into school being like
- 33:45Speaker 2: I love you guys.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Yeah, they're probably talking shit behind your back in Spanish.
- 33:51Speaker 2: But I drove back.
- 33:52Speaker 1: Home and I was like, like, it sucks.
- 33:55Speaker 2: It sucks. I was because also I kind of said
- 33:58Speaker 2: to the girls that hey, we're going on way, but
- 34:01Speaker 2: I don't know if they how much did they really
- 34:03Speaker 2: take in?
- 34:03Speaker 1: Not a lot obviously, Yeah it's like I know what
- 34:06Speaker 1: you mean.
- 34:06Speaker 3: But it's like they're probably walking to school and completely
- 34:08Speaker 3: forgotten that interaction and.
- 34:10Speaker 2: By the afternoon it's long gone. But I had to.
- 34:12Speaker 2: I was like, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't I shouldn't
- 34:15Speaker 2: have sworn just then. I shouldn't have gotten angry. I
- 34:17Speaker 2: was liked, but you kept whipping me.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point, you're leting us stick up for yourself.
- 34:23Speaker 1: At what point are you just like getting whipped by
- 34:26Speaker 1: your employer?
- 34:26Speaker 3: Pretty much, it's like your kids are just like and
- 34:29Speaker 3: you can't say anything back and Laura, I'll throw things
- 34:33Speaker 3: out the wind.
- 34:33Speaker 1: I'll do it, and I've done it.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Laura was like, how is the drop off?
- 34:37Speaker 1: And I was like, I got angry and she was.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Like, why it's the drop off for the weekend. You're
- 34:42Speaker 2: not gonna see them again until Sunday night.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Weren't there? Yeah?
- 34:45Speaker 2: I was like, I was getting whipped.
- 34:48Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it.
- 34:49Speaker 2: They were whipping me, Laura.
- 34:50Speaker 1: What am I meant to do?
- 34:51Speaker 3: And it's just heart Yeah, I know what you mean
- 34:52Speaker 3: by leaving it on this hour. No, but like they're
- 34:54Speaker 3: forgetting and also.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Don't whip me and we won't be here.
- 34:57Speaker 2: So annoying. It's so annoying. And then the fucking dry
- 35:00Speaker 2: having down dollar dollar. I was just like the guilt
- 35:02Speaker 2: the whole time.
- 35:03Speaker 1: I was like, is that why you called me for
- 35:05Speaker 1: a per cup? Did I call you? You called me
- 35:07Speaker 1: for a per cup? Yeah?
- 35:08Speaker 2: I think it was. That was a butt dial?
- 35:11Speaker 1: Was it here going on? Baby baby?
- 35:16Speaker 2: But it was it was lovely Laura and I we've
- 35:20Speaker 2: been together for a long time. We've had Marley for
- 35:22Speaker 2: my seven years.
- 35:23Speaker 1: Now. I'll tell you what a long time is. Yeah,
- 35:27Speaker 1: is your first time? Is your first trip or like
- 35:29Speaker 1: in like general without them.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Years since, we've had two nights on taste. It's pretty good.
- 35:36Speaker 1: It was fucking so good.
- 35:38Speaker 2: Can't tell you what's easier with no kids? No kids,
- 35:41Speaker 2: everything everything is easy. We got there, We unpacked the
- 35:47Speaker 2: car in like two seconds. We like sat down, like
- 35:51Speaker 2: just enjoyed each.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Other's company and you like each other again by the
- 35:54Speaker 1: end of it. Can I give you an analogy? Yeah?
- 35:57Speaker 2: Okay. I feel like kids are on this.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Plane, which is the family, right, Okay?
- 36:06Speaker 2: Okay, you with me?
- 36:07Speaker 1: Is this a nine to eleven joke? No?
- 36:09Speaker 2: Okay, carry on love, that's where your mine goes.
- 36:12Speaker 1: That was twenty years ago, guys.
- 36:13Speaker 2: I think kids are on this plane, right, which is
- 36:16Speaker 2: being piloted by mom and dad. Okay, And the relationship
- 36:19Speaker 2: is the engine that keeps this plane flying.
- 36:20Speaker 1: You lost me, but yeah, you go, and it's so easy.
- 36:24Speaker 2: I think with the relationship with kids that so much
- 36:27Speaker 2: of the communication between you and your partner is literally
- 36:30Speaker 2: just around family logistics. Like Laura and I We obviously
- 36:36Speaker 2: have we have little moments, but so much of our
- 36:38Speaker 2: chat together is like, who's picking up the kids and
- 36:40Speaker 2: you're getting them from gymnastics? What are we having for dinner?
- 36:43Speaker 2: We've got a birthday party on the weekend. You've got
- 36:44Speaker 2: to get a present. Also, we need to get the
- 36:46Speaker 2: car service. The insurance is d It's just the logistics
- 36:49Speaker 2: of family life is ninety percent of what we.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Talk about is adminchat. That's it. That's it, and that's
- 36:54Speaker 1: essentially a round table meeting, right, And.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Yes it's important, but if that is all your relationship
- 37:01Speaker 2: is based on, it's not a super healthy relationship for
- 37:04Speaker 2: me anyway. For me and Laura. You like coworkers exactly,
- 37:07Speaker 2: and so to have time away where you don't have
- 37:11Speaker 2: to talk about all the admin's side and it's just
- 37:13Speaker 2: about the two of you, We get to enjoy each
- 37:15Speaker 2: other's company.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Ah, so much better.
- 37:19Speaker 2: The wind in our sails a boat.
- 37:21Speaker 1: It's a slippery it's a slippery slope. Because then you're like,
- 37:24Speaker 1: let's go away without these kids again.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I was like, let's never take the kids anyway.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Have you seen the movie This is forty?
- 37:30Speaker 3: They go away on a date like stay one night, away,
- 37:33Speaker 3: and they before going away, it's just chaotic. They're fighting,
- 37:37Speaker 3: they're at each other, they hate each other essentially. Then
- 37:40Speaker 3: they go away for this one night and they obviously
- 37:44Speaker 3: there's nothing with no admin there. They're just enjoying each
- 37:47Speaker 3: other's company and they're loving each other. And they pull
- 37:49Speaker 3: in the driveway and the door opens and the kids
- 37:51Speaker 3: are like one of them's like got a shaved head
- 37:53Speaker 3: or something like that. Fuck, and it just starts again.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Laura was like, when should we call the kids? And
- 37:59Speaker 2: I was like, also, we didn't tell the kids we
- 38:00Speaker 2: were going to Alla Dalla because they would have wanted
- 38:02Speaker 2: to come. We said we're going to the city. So
- 38:04Speaker 2: we were like, if we call them, we need to
- 38:05Speaker 2: be like in the car, so I don't know where
- 38:07Speaker 2: we are. Yeah, but I was like, okay, what we'll
- 38:09Speaker 2: call the kids. Okay on Saturday afternoon, I was like,
- 38:11Speaker 2: we'll get the kids are call.
- 38:12Speaker 1: I'll just like take a green screen with you, the news,
- 38:17Speaker 1: there's a harbor bridge behind you.
- 38:19Speaker 2: And shout out to our nanny because she had all
- 38:21Speaker 2: the three kids and she's unbelievably good. But Buster had
- 38:26Speaker 2: shut in the house. He's getting worse, getting worse, Poppy
- 38:29Speaker 2: was sick, so she would called us and she'd just
- 38:31Speaker 2: been vomited all over all over the carpet in her
- 38:34Speaker 2: room and we were like, oh, and also Raspberry the cat.
- 38:40Speaker 1: I forgot about that cat.
- 38:41Speaker 2: We have a cat as well. She pissed and Lola's
- 38:44Speaker 2: bed a cat pissed sting, never done that. She was like,
- 38:49Speaker 2: has the cat? Does she pissing Lola's bed? We're like what.
- 38:52Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, because I went into Lola's room and
- 38:54Speaker 2: she's just pissed all through her blanket. So our poor
- 38:57Speaker 2: nanny's just like up against it. And we're like, oh,
- 39:00Speaker 2: do you want us to come home early? And she's
- 39:02Speaker 2: like no, no, no, I've got it. We're like, thank god.
- 39:04Speaker 1: So she was none of there too.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Now were very sick. She she's got the sniffles as well.
- 39:09Speaker 1: It's going around.
- 39:10Speaker 5: Nothing brings you back to reality faster than a sick
- 39:14Speaker 5: kid or a pet.
- 39:17Speaker 2: That's don't ask me, asked the nanny.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Yeah, just like shaken. We came home.
- 39:24Speaker 2: She was like here, getting the hell out of here.
- 39:28Speaker 2: But but let me just tell you, it's the first
- 39:30Speaker 2: time I've had pre dinner sex in a very long time.
- 39:33Speaker 1: Pre dinner sex. Yeah, it's up there. That's great.
- 39:37Speaker 4: It's nothing like it's better than post because post.
- 39:40Speaker 2: You're tired and full, you're just bumping bellies, and in
- 39:44Speaker 2: this post, yeah, sex is like running, right, No one
- 39:47Speaker 2: wants to run on a full tummy. Yeah. And when
- 39:51Speaker 2: I've had that apple grumble.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Well, sex is like araplines, the engine room is room.
- 40:00Speaker 2: I had. The plane analogy made a lot of sense.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Honestly, I think you just left the plane analogy.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Like I said it to Laura and she was like,
- 40:07Speaker 2: that's really clever, and I was like, she's trying to sabotage.
- 40:11Speaker 1: Hey, baby, that's really good. Thanks Papa.
- 40:14Speaker 2: So that was the weekend and I think you're good.
- 40:17Speaker 2: Weather too, will be a great weather. And it's one
- 40:19Speaker 2: of those things where you're like, why do we wait
- 40:21Speaker 2: so long for this?
- 40:23Speaker 1: April and I doing it every two days? Like we're
- 40:26Speaker 1: like not sex, what what? No? Like we're like looking
- 40:31Speaker 1: at holidays.
- 40:32Speaker 4: With no kids I am in need of that's so bad.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Sorry, So let's petition to get Vica free holiday.
- 40:43Speaker 5: Kids.
- 40:43Speaker 4: Yeah that's the problem.
- 40:45Speaker 3: Okay, Well you guys take oh no, no way, I'll
- 40:49Speaker 3: pay for the holiday.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Actually I'm not taking it. I'll pay for the holiday.
- 40:52Speaker 1: You have the Lily. Lily Lily is Vic's daughter who
- 41:00Speaker 1: we try to win over the other day. I think
- 41:02Speaker 1: I won with a Scotch finger.
- 41:03Speaker 5: I think I got her fierce competition, because Lily is
- 41:06Speaker 5: hard to impress and these two were competing for her love.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I look over and ashes feeding her.
- 41:12Speaker 1: She went in real heart.
- 41:13Speaker 3: I kept my distance, trying to, you know, keep it keen.
- 41:18Speaker 3: And then when she was alone this sounds terrible, and
- 41:21Speaker 3: she was sitting there nicely. I saw a biscuit in
- 41:25Speaker 3: the at Channel nine and I was like, you know,
- 41:27Speaker 3: who'd love this? And I looked at Lily and I
- 41:29Speaker 3: was like pointed like and she was like from that point.
- 41:34Speaker 2: She was like I was trying to be a fucking
- 41:35Speaker 2: kangarrill and she was like, fucking shut up.
- 41:37Speaker 1: And then I got her a bag of popcorn, just
- 41:40Speaker 1: played these strings.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Yeah, it is definitely the way to her heart.
- 41:45Speaker 3: Speaking about being away, the other week, we went to
- 41:48Speaker 3: the State of Origin and I stayed at my grandmother's
- 41:50Speaker 3: house because she lives not far from there and I
- 41:52Speaker 3: don't get to see her very often.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Again. Olive, that's right, Yeah, I got a name, Olive Oil. Tattoo.
- 42:00Speaker 1: So I went stay out there for one night, one
- 42:01Speaker 1: night only, which was absolutely painful because my dad was
- 42:05Speaker 1: out there too.
- 42:05Speaker 2: And what was the first question that he asked?
- 42:07Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, okay.
- 42:09Speaker 3: Both my dad and my Nan have severe undiagnosed ADHD.
- 42:14Speaker 1: It's unbelievable that anything gets done full far from the tree.
- 42:18Speaker 3: If you spend some time with these two people, you
- 42:21Speaker 3: know exactly where this came from, You'll be like, oh, okay,
- 42:24Speaker 3: all right, you.
- 42:26Speaker 2: And your dad are identical thrown nan in Oh God,
- 42:31Speaker 2: and she's wor and she's also so ninety in January.
- 42:35Speaker 2: That's incredible.
- 42:36Speaker 1: But she's also such a manipulator.
- 42:38Speaker 3: She's so quick witted, like she'll purposely mispronounce things so
- 42:42Speaker 3: that you'll pick up on it, especially I'll pick up
- 42:44Speaker 3: like she used to say digital instead of digital, but
- 42:47Speaker 3: then I picked up or Dad picked up on it once,
- 42:49Speaker 3: so she then she'll just toss it in there. Or
- 42:51Speaker 3: she'll be like she can she can pronounce things like pollymyalja,
- 42:55Speaker 3: which is some disease she's got on her fingers, but
- 42:58Speaker 3: she can't pronounce like uber. She calls it the uber
- 43:02Speaker 3: or the the COVID was the carver anyway that she's
- 43:05Speaker 3: a silly she is very funny, olive, She's very funny. Anyway,
- 43:09Speaker 3: So I walk in and the first thing not even
- 43:11Speaker 3: a hello, it's a.
- 43:14Speaker 1: Can you freeze salmon? And I was like, what.
- 43:18Speaker 2: This is your dad? Asking?
- 43:19Speaker 1: That was dad? And then Nan was like, of course
- 43:21Speaker 1: you can. Yeah.
- 43:22Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know, that's I guess, so like, what, like,
- 43:25Speaker 3: hello do you guys do? And then they just went
- 43:27Speaker 3: on about a salmon rant for the next half hour.
- 43:29Speaker 3: But anyway, that's not the story. The story is I
- 43:31Speaker 3: stayed out one night. It was a Wednesday night, Thursday night.
- 43:34Speaker 3: I'm back at home. I'm sitting in the loundroom. We
- 43:36Speaker 3: have two bathrooms. We have the on suite okay, and
- 43:39Speaker 3: we have the spare bathroom, which is mainly what the
- 43:42Speaker 3: kids used to shower. You've got three houses. How many
- 43:47Speaker 3: bathrooms you got all together?
- 43:48Speaker 1: On a second? Well, well, I have two, I own
- 43:51Speaker 1: two bathrooms. How many bathrooms you own?
- 43:52Speaker 5: That?
- 43:53Speaker 1: Three? Three bathrooms in one house. Let's not get okay,
- 43:57Speaker 1: let's not get down. It's got like ten bathrooms.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Which one which master barth Anyway, I was in the
- 44:03Speaker 3: lounder room and I could hear the shower going, and
- 44:06Speaker 3: my kids shower.
- 44:07Speaker 1: You could still bath or you're converting still bathing, still bathing.
- 44:10Speaker 3: Yeah, so mine shower and it's like, okay, Oscar in
- 44:13Speaker 3: the shower, Oscar out, Mason in the shower, Oscar and
- 44:15Speaker 3: there's an adult in there at all times.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Okay, they don't shower together, no, nah nah.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Sometimes I fuck around too much. I turn around for
- 44:24Speaker 2: a second and then half the bath is on the
- 44:26Speaker 2: floor and I'm like, fucking our guys again. Hate throwing
- 44:29Speaker 2: in front of the kids, Like fuck yeah guys.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Anyway, So I well, the only time they shower together
- 44:36Speaker 1: is when we do like a movie night. We don't
- 44:38Speaker 1: tell the kids.
- 44:38Speaker 3: They go and shower while set up the movie night,
- 44:40Speaker 3: and they come out in this popcorn and stuff like that. Anyway,
- 44:45Speaker 3: ash in the popcorn. There's all April's idea. I'm just
- 44:47Speaker 3: a mule, Okay. I just get told what to do
- 44:50Speaker 3: pretty much.
- 44:51Speaker 2: Just quickly. How does this relate to all of your
- 44:54Speaker 2: grandma what this story? It's not.
- 44:57Speaker 1: It doesn't, But I'm just saying.
- 45:00Speaker 2: Tell me that I get bogged down in the detail.
- 45:03Speaker 3: I missed, okay, okay, I missed a vital part of
- 45:05Speaker 3: information because I was at NaN's house.
- 45:07Speaker 1: That's how it relates. Okay, Okay, So anyway, I'm sitting
- 45:10Speaker 1: there in the lounge room.
- 45:11Speaker 3: I hear the shower going and I think, okay, well,
- 45:14Speaker 3: April's probably in there with one of the kids.
- 45:16Speaker 1: And then I see Macy run out of our bedroom
- 45:19Speaker 1: and I was like, your bedroom.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just in there in a jarmy she's already
- 45:22Speaker 3: must have already showered orr And April comes out after it,
- 45:25Speaker 3: chasing him with a hair brush because she doesn't like
- 45:27Speaker 3: to get a hair brushed.
- 45:28Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, yeah, no one was kind of
- 45:30Speaker 1: didn't think anything of it. And then I was like,
- 45:32Speaker 1: who's in the shower? And then then the shower goes off,
- 45:35Speaker 1: turns itself off. I was like, what the fuck? Anyway,
- 45:38Speaker 1: Oscar walks out, I'll make showering himself. And now on
- 45:40Speaker 1: he walks out, he's like drying his hair, like he

- 46:23Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they just want to be independent.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Just grow up. I was like, do I have a
- 46:26Speaker 1: roommate now? Like that's what it felt like.
- 46:28Speaker 6: He came out of the shower and he was like
- 46:30Speaker 6: one towel around his waist, the other one is drying
- 46:32Speaker 6: his hair on his phone. He's like, he's like, hey, girl,
- 46:36Speaker 6: fucking carried on into his bedroom and I was like, fox,
- 46:39Speaker 6: going here, how did you.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Turn the tap off? I was gone for one night.
- 46:43Speaker 1: I know you've grown up. Maybe one more night he'll

- 46:47Speaker 2: April like, yeah, he's a night shift. Now, you got
- 46:49Speaker 2: a job, didn't you know that?
- 46:50Speaker 1: I know?
- 46:51Speaker 2: And then I was like the other night.
- 46:52Speaker 3: Afterwards, I was like, all right, it's time to shower,
- 46:55Speaker 3: and I was like, who's in first.
- 46:57Speaker 1: And she was like, well, I do believe it's Mazy's
- 47:00Speaker 1: hard because I went in the other night first. I
- 47:01Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I.
- 47:02Speaker 3: Remember, you went in on your own, that's right. And
- 47:03Speaker 3: then he was like, yeah, I shower myself now. I'm like, okay,
- 47:06Speaker 3: but I'm waiting. I'm waiting for him to accidentally turn
- 47:09Speaker 3: the cold off and I'll hear the squeal of the
- 47:11Speaker 3: hot water burning that poor boy's skin.
- 47:13Speaker 1: I was like, make sure you turn the hot water
- 47:15Speaker 1: off first, dad, and he's like, I got this, bro,
- 47:18Speaker 1: I pay the bills.
- 47:20Speaker 2: You know what's going to happen. Next he'll be showering you.
- 47:23Speaker 1: That's that's I need a lot of soap.
- 47:27Speaker 2: That's the next step on the circle of life.
- 47:29Speaker 1: You're changing my nappy.
- 47:31Speaker 3: Yeah, sucker, yeah, I'm going to be when that day comes,
- 47:35Speaker 3: I'm gonna be shit shitting right now, I'm pooping.
- 47:39Speaker 4: Then I'm ship, we want to keep these life on cutlessness.
- 47:46Speaker 1: I'm sorry, can I ask how does.
- 47:49Speaker 4: It make you feel now that you're not needed? Like
- 47:51Speaker 4: does it feel like he's growing up?
- 47:53Speaker 1: I think it's that deep. It was more like, yeah,
- 47:55Speaker 1: I was like, you can cry, you wish.
- 48:00Speaker 4: I feel like it's like little tiny.
- 48:02Speaker 1: Micro jumps detachments.
- 48:06Speaker 4: Yeah, micro's attachment.
- 48:07Speaker 1: He still needs me. It'd be nothing without me. That's
- 48:10Speaker 1: what I like to believe. He's only five, he's seven.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I know, I was joking. He's seven next week? What
- 48:17Speaker 1: about that smiley is a week after?
- 48:19Speaker 2: Just to remind you, I'm looking still looking for that
- 48:23Speaker 2: venue higher because fucking everything's a bloody triple the price.
- 48:26Speaker 2: In Eastern Sydney. We were trying to be good parents recently.
- 48:31Speaker 1: You and Laura your great parents. Don't be ridiculous, no
- 48:35Speaker 1: more so.
- 48:35Speaker 2: One thing that we don't really do a lot of
- 48:38Speaker 2: is like disciplining the kid. The kids will like talk
- 48:41Speaker 2: to us with a lot of attitude and we're like,
- 48:43Speaker 2: we don't.
- 48:43Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not I won't.
- 48:45Speaker 2: With that the consequences, there's not really a lot there.
- 48:49Speaker 1: When a kid talks to me wrong, I'm like, yes.
- 48:52Speaker 2: So the kids are being a bit cheeky, and we
- 48:53Speaker 2: were like, and it was a night where we pre
- 48:57Speaker 2: planned a trip to the RSL, which they love. It's
- 49:00Speaker 2: like their favorite on a Thursday night, Icebergs North one RSEL.
- 49:04Speaker 2: Oh it's closer, let's at the endo of playground. They
- 49:06Speaker 2: love it?
- 49:06Speaker 1: Is it real? Echo?
- 49:07Speaker 2: We No, it's great, it's great. And also they love
- 49:11Speaker 2: it's the only RSLT that I've been to. At six o'clock,
- 49:13Speaker 2: they do the last post and everyone has to stand up.
- 49:16Speaker 1: Do they really? Yeah? Like the kids are so confused.
- 49:20Speaker 2: They love, they love it.
- 49:21Speaker 1: They're like the first time, Oh yeah, like what does
- 49:23Speaker 1: everyone even? I was like, what's happening? I know they're
- 49:27Speaker 1: like face the west, like the west? Which way is it?
- 49:30Speaker 1: I mean doors? There's no windows in these places.
- 49:32Speaker 2: But also some of the kids when like when they laughing,
- 49:34Speaker 2: you're like, you gotta respect the ans as of someone's
- 49:37Speaker 2: feature on the poke off. But the kids are being
- 49:42Speaker 2: really naughty and we're like, you know, that's it. You're
- 49:45Speaker 2: staying home, Maley, You're not going to be the rs
- 49:47Speaker 2: L I love. And I was like, we've got it.
- 49:49Speaker 2: We've got to teach her a lesson and as Jen
- 49:51Speaker 2: Muir the Oracle always say the tantrum is just a
- 49:54Speaker 2: lesson being taught. Okay, We're like, we're not going to cave. Also,
- 49:57Speaker 2: once people like put it out though, that she's not going,
- 50:00Speaker 2: he can scream all you like, doesn't matter decisions being made.
- 50:03Speaker 2: It's final. We're not going back on it. End of
- 50:06Speaker 2: And then Laura and I were like, oh fuck, who's
- 50:09Speaker 2: got to go to the RSL. And I was like
- 50:10Speaker 2: I don't really want to go if you're not going.
- 50:12Speaker 2: But then Laura was like, you go, you go, you
- 50:14Speaker 2: take Lola, and I was like.
- 50:16Speaker 1: She definitely never wanted to go in the first place.
- 50:18Speaker 2: And Lola was like, I want mum. And Laura was like,
- 50:21Speaker 2: I'm going to stay home with Marlay because I did
- 50:22Speaker 2: the discipline with Miley, so I don't want you to
- 50:24Speaker 2: then be fun times dad with her at home. So
- 50:26Speaker 2: I'm going to stay at home. And so Lala was
- 50:28Speaker 2: like like, I'm gonna go with this guy.
- 50:31Speaker 1: What about Poppy?
- 50:33Speaker 2: No, she stayed at home with Laura.
- 50:35Speaker 4: I thought Lola was all about you now she was.
- 50:37Speaker 3: She was like I was, I was trying it.
- 50:39Speaker 2: I was like, Lola, it's date night. You were me
- 50:41Speaker 2: on a date and she was like, oh yeah, so
- 50:43Speaker 2: it was really cute, like we're like, took a couple
- 50:46Speaker 2: of photos together. She was dressed up, real nice, having
- 50:48Speaker 2: a great time, and I was like, you know what,
- 50:50Speaker 2: this is what it's all about, someone on one time.
- 50:53Speaker 2: This is really important stuff. And then she turned on me.
- 50:58Speaker 4: I always do it.
- 51:00Speaker 3: She went into the I always say, don't ruin it,
- 51:02Speaker 3: and they're like, you watch me fucking ruin It was
- 51:05Speaker 3: going like it was like imagine a first day where
- 51:07Speaker 3: everything is just going perfect.
- 51:08Speaker 2: You never's having a good time.
- 51:10Speaker 1: Would you give her a rose one?
- 51:12Speaker 2: But then they have a TV now.
- 51:14Speaker 1: And the.
- 51:16Speaker 2: That wasn't the Bachelor for those one's the most eligible
- 51:18Speaker 2: bachelor in Australia.
- 51:20Speaker 1: Take it outs on YouTube.
- 51:22Speaker 2: It's not.
- 51:22Speaker 1: Actually the crying bit is thanks to me.
- 51:27Speaker 2: But she was like, I want one more episode of
- 51:29Speaker 2: Blue because Blue was playing in the play area and
- 51:31Speaker 2: I was like, okay, one more episode. See the episode
- 51:34Speaker 2: of Blue finished, and I was like, cool, let's get
- 51:36Speaker 2: out of here. It's time to go, and she was like, fuck,
- 51:38Speaker 2: there's I'm legging it runs into the playground. I was like,
- 51:41Speaker 2: there's a couple of parents there as well.
- 51:42Speaker 1: You know when you're that parent.
- 51:43Speaker 2: You're like, you come down right now, and I'm like
- 51:47Speaker 2: vocal in the playground and then Laola's like, fuck you
- 51:51Speaker 2: a loser, and I was like, you gotta come down
- 51:54Speaker 2: this second. And then like it's this Mexican standoff where
- 51:57Speaker 2: she wasn't budging and the parents were like and I'd
- 51:59Speaker 2: like smile with It's like.
- 52:00Speaker 1: Oh, did you just climb in there?
- 52:02Speaker 2: I tried it. She was escaping me.
- 52:04Speaker 1: I can't get in there. It's so hard. I'm not
- 52:07Speaker 1: okay a couple of things.
- 52:08Speaker 3: I'm not that flexible, and I honestly maybe twenty kilos
- 52:12Speaker 3: less I could get in there.
- 52:14Speaker 2: What sucks is when you try and punish your kids,
- 52:18Speaker 2: try and teach them some consequences, but then you, as
- 52:20Speaker 2: the parent, end up suffering the most.
- 52:22Speaker 1: It's a thankless job, Matt.
- 52:24Speaker 3: That's what really hard. Yeah, realistically, it's a thankless job.
- 52:27Speaker 3: And you shouldn't yell your kids in public unless you
- 52:29Speaker 3: absolutely have to thank you.
- 52:31Speaker 2: I needed to hear that no. So in the end,
- 52:35Speaker 2: I had in my arsenal of tricks to try and
- 52:38Speaker 2: get my child to listen to me. I only had
- 52:40Speaker 2: one option left, abandonment. I was like, well, I'll have
- 52:44Speaker 2: to live life without her.
- 52:47Speaker 1: It only really works if they've got a fear of ambannonment,
- 52:49Speaker 1: like Oscar.
- 52:50Speaker 2: I don't think Lola does. But I was like, I
- 52:52Speaker 2: had no other option, and I was like, well, got
- 52:54Speaker 2: my keys out, like dangled the keys and I was like,
- 52:56Speaker 2: I'm just gonna leave.
- 52:57Speaker 1: You did the key dangle?
- 52:58Speaker 2: Have a good afternoon, see you, Loola. I'm heading home
- 53:02Speaker 2: and I just turned my back and I was.
- 53:04Speaker 1: Like, did she come quick or did she creep? Well?
- 53:08Speaker 2: I was slowly walking out. I think the parents also
- 53:11Speaker 2: in the playground were like, hell, that's kind.
- 53:13Speaker 1: Of the people like, oh, I know this move.
- 53:17Speaker 3: I've seen this move before. It's Sefa pans out for him.
- 53:20Speaker 3: You've got commentators in the corner.
- 53:22Speaker 2: And then I look at my shoulder. He's really going
- 53:24Speaker 2: for it in the top corner where she once was.
- 53:26Speaker 2: She's alonger there, and I was like, where the fuck
- 53:28Speaker 2: is she gone?
- 53:29Speaker 1: It's an all or nothing move.
- 53:30Speaker 2: That one that didn't work.
- 53:32Speaker 1: It's embarrassing to come back from.
- 53:33Speaker 2: I'd have to call Laura. I'd be like, can you
- 53:35Speaker 2: come get it? Because I can't.
- 53:36Speaker 3: I'm trying to think like I've done it to Macy
- 53:38Speaker 3: where it's like I've had to be like, oh, the
- 53:40Speaker 3: other days you wouldn't come like she was.
- 53:42Speaker 1: I had to pretty much be like, I agree with
- 53:44Speaker 1: a marshmallow after So at the end of that was
- 53:50Speaker 1: she got rewarded.
- 53:51Speaker 2: I know you don't have a marshmallow.
- 53:53Speaker 1: Yeah, show me, show me it's in the car. No
- 53:56Speaker 1: it's not.
- 53:59Speaker 2: So she followed me and I was like, I've finally
- 54:02Speaker 2: done it. And then in the car ride home she
- 54:03Speaker 2: was like, you're the worst dad ever. I hate you.
- 54:06Speaker 1: And I was like, you're a bad kid.
- 54:10Speaker 3: Feeling mutual, you really should yeah, glasshouses, Laura, Glasshouses.
- 54:18Speaker 2: And then I came home and then Marley and Laura
- 54:20Speaker 2: were having a great time as well. So I came
- 54:23Speaker 2: home with Laula being like I hate you, and I
- 54:25Speaker 2: was like, yeah, well that sucked. No one had fun.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Then Laura and Marley like dancing in the living room,
- 54:30Speaker 2: and I was like, of.
- 54:31Speaker 1: Course you guys are having fun. Yeah, you got sent
- 54:34Speaker 1: down because you're a fun time dad. And then do
- 54:36Speaker 1: you think Marley learned a lesson? Though? I don't know.
- 54:39Speaker 1: I don't think they do. I feel like we're dishing
- 54:42Speaker 1: out a lot of lessons.
- 54:43Speaker 2: They're not learning tried to punish the child. I'm the
- 54:46Speaker 2: one who got punished, and then you're the one who.
- 54:47Speaker 3: Thinks about it and they sleep comfortably at night and
- 54:50Speaker 3: you're like, was not too hard and you're in your
- 54:53Speaker 3: own head about it.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Am I am? I doing a good job.
- 54:56Speaker 1: You're doing the best you can.
- 54:57Speaker 2: I don't know is anyone I enjoying this? I don't
- 55:00Speaker 2: think so.
- 55:01Speaker 5: No.
- 55:02Speaker 1: So except for when they're like, I'm not coming down,
- 55:04Speaker 1: they're enjoying it. They're going I'm not coming that's them
- 55:08Speaker 1: clearly enjoying it. Mattle. This segment is all about smart parenting. Okay,
- 55:14Speaker 1: so people are sending in what they do.
- 55:17Speaker 2: I was like, don't look at me.
- 55:19Speaker 1: What they do as a smart parent, and it's thanks
- 55:21Speaker 1: to Audi good different. This one's from Kate Matt.
- 55:25Speaker 3: When my kids don't want a bath slash shower, I
- 55:28Speaker 3: use shaving cream on the shower glass.
- 55:31Speaker 1: They draw everywhere with no complaints and the glass is
- 55:34Speaker 1: sparkling clean.
- 55:35Speaker 2: Poor dads, Where the fuck's my shaving cream?
- 55:39Speaker 1: He's like, I wouldn't usually have a bed like this,
- 55:42Speaker 1: but there's no shaving green.
- 55:44Speaker 2: Shaving cream is not cheap.
- 55:45Speaker 1: No we got do you know?
- 55:47Speaker 5: Is it?
- 55:48Speaker 1: Vic do you use it? I don't just use the
- 55:52Speaker 1: Do you know what we got the other.
- 55:53Speaker 3: Day I accidentally got delivered someone else's shopping and it
- 55:57Speaker 3: was shampoo. Anyway, the kids frothen it was a kid's shampoo.
- 56:01Speaker 1: They're like, we want to use it. I want to
- 56:03Speaker 1: use it.
- 56:04Speaker 2: So they're in the normally bathed.
- 56:06Speaker 1: Was just they've just got some soap. Just cold water,
- 56:08Speaker 1: cold water run? What even it was a really foamy
- 56:16Speaker 1: is this daddy? Usually? What is this clean?
- 56:21Speaker 2: Hands off the tampoo?
- 56:23Speaker 3: It was like it would foam up. They were intrigued
- 56:25Speaker 3: until they got in their eye and then that was
- 56:27Speaker 3: the end of that.
- 56:28Speaker 2: But anyway, apparently the crayons, the crayons which people have
- 56:32Speaker 2: recommended previously, gets in the ground.
- 56:35Speaker 1: That cheap grout. Yeah, just concrete your whole house.
- 56:41Speaker 2: Don't want to make people panic if they have gone
- 56:42Speaker 2: out already after the last episode. And I bought the
- 56:45Speaker 2: colored crayons for the bath tub, but just watched the ground.
- 56:47Speaker 2: Be careful of the ground.
- 56:48Speaker 1: We really bumste people on that one. So who's the
- 56:51Speaker 1: paper's ground now?
- 56:52Speaker 2: I think they'll come out and say shaving cream causes
- 56:54Speaker 2: cancer and kids and don't listen to anything. We say
- 56:59Speaker 2: what we got next from McGan McGan my again. Okay,
- 57:03Speaker 2: you're gonna be a bit shocked when I read this
- 57:05Speaker 2: first part, but just bear with me. She says, ice
- 57:08Speaker 2: blocks for breakfast.
- 57:11Speaker 1: You're gonna need to elaborate because that seems like a treat.
- 57:15Speaker 2: Seems crazy, right, crazysy? Well, let me continue. I freeze
- 57:22Speaker 2: smoothies into ice block molds. My toddler then thinks he's
- 57:25Speaker 2: having ice cream for breakfast, and I know he's full
- 57:28Speaker 2: of nutrients.
- 57:29Speaker 1: That's good gear. Do you reckon? I could do that
- 57:31Speaker 1: for like special treat after dinner. It's like, hey, you
- 57:33Speaker 1: eat or your dinner, you get this ice cream? Do
- 57:35Speaker 1: you do special treats after Oh?
- 57:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I give them full of chocolate. Really they get
- 57:39Speaker 2: like a couple little gummy lollies or me too?
- 57:43Speaker 1: What do you mean a couple little starving your kids?
- 57:46Speaker 2: Vic, You're like, I'll give them half a strawberry?
- 57:49Speaker 1: Please?
- 57:50Speaker 3: Can I have some more?
- 57:51Speaker 4: You're wondering why it's hard to get them to bed?
- 57:54Speaker 1: Ye, that's true. Yeah, she's schooled.
- 57:57Speaker 5: We once recently gave Louis a tea spoonful of chocolate
- 58:01Speaker 5: sauce after he had his antibiotics. We go back.
- 58:04Speaker 1: He's a tea spood of dust that was so thrilled.
- 58:08Speaker 1: Here's a treat of metal mus.
- 58:10Speaker 4: He was bouncing off the walls.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Sugar before you deprived the poor child. How dare you judge, Matt.
- 58:17Speaker 1: You're doing the best you can. Man.
- 58:19Speaker 2: I give them a two lid I bottle of coke
- 58:20Speaker 2: and that, yeah, a.
- 58:23Speaker 1: Piece of stale bread in the cupboard, you're gonna have that.
- 58:27Speaker 1: Vic did say on another episode, I give them some
- 58:29Speaker 1: frozen fruit.
- 58:30Speaker 2: I was like, uh, you're one of those.
- 58:34Speaker 1: They're gonna come back from their friends.
- 58:35Speaker 3: And house like, guess what Timmy's mom has, And like,
- 58:38Speaker 3: I bet it's not frozen fruit like a bragg And it's.
- 58:41Speaker 4: Because you haven't seen my kids on sugar.
- 58:44Speaker 1: Well, that whose faults That.
- 58:48Speaker 2: He's genius. And if I could do it for dinner,
- 58:50Speaker 2: my kids actually et breakfast pretty well, it's dinner. That
- 58:53Speaker 2: if I could blend up spaghetti bionnaise and give it
- 58:55Speaker 2: to them as an ice block, but I don't.
- 58:57Speaker 3: Think I'm going to try it as for special tree
- 59:00Speaker 3: because I'm sick of the meeting of my ice cream
- 59:02Speaker 3: and that's my ice cream and Daddy doesn't drink anymore,
- 59:04Speaker 3: so daddy needs his ice cream.
- 59:07Speaker 1: This one's from Damp did I damp?
