- 1:15Speaker 2: about parenting. It is the good, it is.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Also the bad and the relatable.
- 1:19Speaker 2: And if you've come winning any advice, I'm just going
- 1:21Speaker 2: to warn you right now in case you are new
- 1:23Speaker 2: to the podcast. No advice has ever been given, nor
- 1:27Speaker 2: will it ever be given in the future.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Not real advice anyway, just the fake advice, just the
- 1:31Speaker 1: funny stufftic synthetic advice. How are you, Matthew? How are
- 1:38Speaker 1: you look?
- 1:39Speaker 2: I think we're both in the same boat here, fatigued.
- 1:42Speaker 2: We're fatigued. We're in recovery mode right now.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I've got two blisters on both of my big toes.
- 1:48Speaker 2: You got those blisters very quick. We are, of course
- 1:50Speaker 2: talking about the city to surf, which we completed last weekend.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Yes, just the weekend just gone. And yes I did
- 1:56Speaker 1: get blisters really early on.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Yeah, we're like, well, walking towards the taxi and you're like,
- 2:01Speaker 2: oh godless.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Probly got myself to blame. I think maybe it might
- 2:06Speaker 1: have been my Sox shoe combination. I sort of rushed
- 2:09Speaker 1: out the door of the day before and I grabbed
- 2:12Speaker 1: some socks that I would usually wear with another pair
- 2:15Speaker 1: of runners, and I think maybe they didn't agree if
- 2:18Speaker 1: were like, what, I bring two brands together that didn't agree.
- 2:22Speaker 2: I also like to keep the Puma shoes with the
- 2:26Speaker 2: Puma socks.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It's definitely this is not it's not sponsored anyway, Yes,
- 2:33Speaker 1: we did do the city to Servius. Oh and I'm
- 2:35Speaker 1: going to say it, I have never been in a
- 2:37Speaker 1: place with that many people. I mean, probably have the
- 2:41Speaker 1: football stadiums and stuff blah blah blah, but like that
- 2:43Speaker 1: many people on the same level. It was like a
- 2:47Speaker 1: It was the human sea.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I think, ash I think I don't have the official
- 2:52Speaker 2: numbers here, so if I'm wrong, I apologize. Ninety thousand gee,
- 2:57Speaker 2: could be wrong, could be wrong. I heard someone say
- 2:59Speaker 2: ninety thousand, and I was like, that sounds about right.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Only thousand people, A lot of people.
- 3:04Speaker 1: A lot. It was like a sea. I've never do
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know what. I also forgot that because they do
- 3:09Speaker 1: play it on the news and stuff every year. I
- 3:12Speaker 1: don't really watch much news, mainly because they can't handle
- 3:15Speaker 1: the bad news if it's all good news on there.
- 3:19Speaker 1: I have seen it before in the news, but then
- 3:21Speaker 1: this in real life. I was like, oh, yeah, it's like,
- 3:24Speaker 1: this is the thing. And it was like, I think,
- 3:27Speaker 1: a fucking thing.
- 3:29Speaker 2: And it's exciting for the kids because you came to
- 3:32Speaker 2: my house for a sleepover, you brought oscar and it
- 3:38Speaker 2: was nice. It was nice. The kids were excited. We
- 3:42Speaker 2: did almost have the whole event derail itself.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Well, before we get to the derail, we did traumatize
- 3:48Speaker 1: a small child with the wildlife that is your house.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Oh you've forgotten. Sorry, So Matt, as we know, Matt
- 3:59Speaker 1: has the three legged Buster, who's quite a big boy.
- 4:02Speaker 1: And for a small child that doesn't know Buster.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Well even adults are scared of him. Yeah, and he
- 4:07Speaker 2: barks at everyone.
- 4:08Speaker 1: He's got a really really yeah, really girthy bark, like
- 4:13Speaker 1: that comes deep.
- 4:14Speaker 2: We have many people someone say he's like just like
- 4:17Speaker 2: delivering a parcel. They hear Buster and they're like yeah, yeah,
- 4:21Speaker 2: they going the other way.
- 4:22Speaker 1: And then when he's like hopping, half hop half running
- 4:25Speaker 1: at you.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a monster.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Yeah. If it was like really dark, you'd be fucking petrified.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is like bouncing, billowing towards you.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So there was that at first, which I pre warned Oscar.
- 4:37Speaker 1: But I didn't pre warn him until he pulled up
- 4:38Speaker 1: at your house because I wouldn't have got him there.
- 4:40Speaker 1: He would have been like, nope.
- 4:41Speaker 2: We're going where there was a three legged animal that
- 4:44Speaker 2: has forty kilos. It could eat you, but it won't,
- 4:46Speaker 2: and it's very loud.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I said to him, he's three leaders. Why has he
- 4:51Speaker 1: got three legs? I said, oh, he lost he lost
- 4:54Speaker 1: his other leg when he was a puppy. And then
- 4:56Speaker 1: he was like thinking about it and he was like
- 4:59Speaker 1: where is it? And I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no,
- 5:06Speaker 1: it's gone. It's long gone. So there was that and
- 5:09Speaker 1: that straight away, like he didn't want to leave my side.
- 5:12Speaker 1: I'd hold him the whole time. But then he sort
- 5:15Speaker 1: of came good. When he was outside. Buster was in
- 5:17Speaker 1: his bed and you know, busses all bark and then
- 5:20Speaker 1: he's back to bed pretty much. So there was that,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and then he came around. There's also the cat, which
- 5:26Speaker 1: Osco had been around the cat that afternoon.
- 5:29Speaker 2: The cat's feral. By the way, I'm off the cat.
- 5:32Speaker 2: I know. Sometimes Laurea will post a video of me
- 5:34Speaker 2: like sitting with the cat, but overall, I'm not into
- 5:38Speaker 2: the cat at all. It's also very it's very swipey.
- 5:40Speaker 2: It's a swipey cat, like on the bench stools. You
- 5:44Speaker 2: walk past.
- 5:44Speaker 1: It and just go yeah, like you'll be walking past
- 5:48Speaker 1: and like some chloral latch onto you jump in your.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Hair and you're like Ellie, my mom. The cat. But
- 5:53Speaker 2: the kids are constantly like coming to me, being like
- 5:55Speaker 2: the cat's come for me again.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god. But it's sort of the I've
- 6:00Speaker 1: noticed that the cat's sort of become part of the
- 6:02Speaker 1: background furniture of the house, like it used to be
- 6:05Speaker 1: the main focus because it was so small. Now that
- 6:08Speaker 1: it's grown, it's kind of like, there's the cat. Yeah,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and then it will do those things for its attention,
- 6:14Speaker 1: I would say, But kids, all bath, everyone got ready
- 6:17Speaker 1: for bed. Oscar and I were in our separate room
- 6:19Speaker 1: obviously everyone else, and he.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Was a bit nervous, so you get that it's a
- 6:23Speaker 2: new environment. And he was like I remember him saying, hey, daddy,
- 6:27Speaker 2: where are you going to sleep? And You're like you
- 6:28Speaker 2: don't worry, I'm going to come.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I'm going to be right next to you. Yeah, and
- 6:32Speaker 1: just a bit of wine downtime, I said, like, Oky'll
- 6:34Speaker 1: be right back, okay, Like well, lights were still on,
- 6:36Speaker 1: like dem.
- 6:36Speaker 2: When this house is safe, don't worry, Oscar. There's nothing
- 6:39Speaker 2: here that's going to hurt you. I think that's going
- 6:41Speaker 2: to jump out in the middle of the night and
- 6:42Speaker 2: attack you.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Work.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Let's just yeah, you know, to rest put you at ease.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yes, So after putting him at ease, going Buster is
- 6:52Speaker 1: not coming upstairs. He's got three legs, he can't get upstairs.
- 6:55Speaker 1: And I'm like, where's Raspberry No one said anything about
- 6:58Speaker 1: Raspberry Cat anyway. So I'm down stairs and I think
- 7:01Speaker 1: we were I don't know what we're doing. We're talking
- 7:03Speaker 1: about something and then talking business, yeah, but diversified portfolio.
- 7:10Speaker 1: And I was like, fuck, what is it? And then
- 7:12Speaker 1: I'm half upstairs and he goes God, and I look
- 7:18Speaker 1: in the room and in the corner of the room,
- 7:21Speaker 1: of this dark room with a bit of light from
- 7:23Speaker 1: the hallway, is the beady eyes of a cat ras breathe,
- 7:27Speaker 1: the cat like just looking directly, and I was like,
- 7:30Speaker 1: you get out of here. And he was destroyed. He
- 7:33Speaker 1: was so upset. And I don't think you guys really
- 7:35Speaker 1: knew what was going on. You was sort of there's
- 7:38Speaker 1: a bit of Ruckers still downstairs. And then I was
- 7:41Speaker 1: comforting him and he was like, come to bed now.
- 7:44Speaker 1: I can't come to bed now. We've got some work
- 7:46Speaker 1: to do.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Matt and I talking about diversified portfoliowers we're investing, so
- 7:49Speaker 2: we'll be back in a second.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, look, we just got to do
- 7:52Speaker 1: a little bit of a record and then just organize
- 7:55Speaker 1: some stuff for tomorrow and then I'll be in bed.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That was a lie. It was a Blaine light, just
- 7:59Speaker 1: to k you know what. I had some toys downstairs
- 8:02Speaker 1: that he brain that sort of comfort him a little bit.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I was like, I'll go and get those.
- 8:05Speaker 2: For you, but don't worry. That cat is gone.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I said, the cat is not coming back. The cat's
- 8:11Speaker 1: not coming back, and I've just scared the shit out
- 8:13Speaker 1: of it. It's not coming back. I took two.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Steps down the cat quick, by the way.
- 8:18Speaker 1: So quick. I took two steps down the stairs, and
- 8:21Speaker 1: I hear this turning the cat's back, and I quickly
- 8:26Speaker 1: rushed up to it. And at this point you also
- 8:29Speaker 1: realized what was happening, and you were like, oh shit.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Ran upstairs and I'm like, the.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Cat also gets this weird second wind, a round like
- 8:37Speaker 2: run about seven eight o'clock. It's like someone gives it
- 8:40Speaker 2: a line of cocaine. It just bounces off the walk
- 8:43Speaker 2: in his room.
- 8:43Speaker 1: It was like love me, yeah, like like I'm just
- 8:47Speaker 1: looking for someone to sleep.
- 8:48Speaker 2: And then if you ever watched the movie Aliens, where
- 8:50Speaker 2: that little like that little alien attaches to someone's face
- 8:53Speaker 2: and latches on. That's pretty much my Mosco was in bed,
- 8:56Speaker 2: his cat wrapped around his face, claws like into the
- 8:58Speaker 2: back of his sky.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I feel bad and feel sorry for because we did
- 9:03Speaker 1: forget about Raspberry, that the cat would be around. We
- 9:07Speaker 1: just were worried about the big bad dog. But then, yeah,
- 9:10Speaker 1: it took a little bit calming down before he actually went.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Sorry about that, Oscar, but yeah, so.
- 9:15Speaker 2: He went to sleep at a great sleep. We all
- 9:17Speaker 2: woke up early that morning because it yourself me. Laura
- 9:21Speaker 2: also was joining in on the city to serve three
- 9:24Speaker 2: kids three prams two prams actually sorry, I lied two
- 9:27Speaker 2: well one's like two were double and we thought the
- 9:31Speaker 2: best way to get in is a Maxi taxi. Yep,
- 9:33Speaker 2: a pre books pre book maxie taxi, which has gone
- 9:36Speaker 2: very mature of us, very mature, very organized. We actually,
- 9:40Speaker 2: you and me were like, Laura.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Help us book a taxi because we don't know how
- 9:43Speaker 1: to call.
- 9:44Speaker 2: She booked the taxi morning of doesn't show up. People
- 9:47Speaker 2: are starting to panic.
- 9:48Speaker 1: I was skeptical, but I didn't want to add two.
- 9:52Speaker 1: The stress and the tension of the household.
- 9:53Speaker 2: A lot of tension that morning a lot of tension. Anyway,
- 9:56Speaker 2: we call ubers. One rocks up for Laura, throw on
- 9:59Speaker 2: her prem Lola and Laura off in the Uber. Next thing,
- 10:03Speaker 2: I come back downstairs and Laura's like, who wouldn't take Lola?
- 10:06Speaker 2: She's too young? And then I'm like, okay, so what
- 10:09Speaker 2: are you gonna do? She goes, I want to drive
- 10:10Speaker 2: up my car and aarub was coming. Our kids are
- 10:13Speaker 2: old enough to jump on the Uba. Next thing, Laura goes,
- 10:15Speaker 2: did you get the pram out of the back of
- 10:17Speaker 2: the taxi, back.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Of the Uber, out of the first super? What do you?
- 10:21Speaker 1: I was to Bac. You are, And Laura will still
- 10:24Speaker 1: not believe even though you've got a witness, I was,
- 10:27Speaker 1: She's got zero witnesses.
- 10:28Speaker 2: I will say, my witness is not the most reliable person.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Well, hang on.
- 10:32Speaker 2: A sketchy pat. It wouldn't be anyone's first choice.
- 10:35Speaker 1: And we get it. We get it, all right, I'm untrustworthy.
- 10:39Speaker 1: But you were in that. I remember she called you
- 10:43Speaker 1: and we were walking down the hallway and got down
- 10:45Speaker 1: and she was full panic about it, and Lola was like,
- 10:50Speaker 1: what's going on? No idea, what's going on? And then
- 10:53Speaker 1: she's also on the phone to the cab company trying
- 10:56Speaker 1: to book another cab and an old mate in the
- 10:59Speaker 1: first spoop has taken off to the would have been
- 11:01Speaker 1: no chance, no opportunity for you to retrieve. Yeah, so
- 11:06Speaker 1: said long story short, Matt got blamed for the loss
- 11:10Speaker 1: of a pram.
- 11:10Speaker 2: We lost. We lost the prem. We lost the.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Prem before even leaving before the house.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Like it's like seven fifteen right now, am, and it's
- 11:20Speaker 2: already falling apart, and.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I imagine being a fly on the wall.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Oh my god. We were yelling at each other on
- 11:25Speaker 2: the street. The neighbors must have been like someone's been.
- 11:27Speaker 1: A tax oscar. Was like, I was like, okay, you
- 11:29Speaker 1: be quiet, now, we'll both be quiet. Just let this
- 11:32Speaker 1: play out. I just don't want to add any fuel
- 11:34Speaker 1: to the fight. I was going to be like when
- 11:37Speaker 1: you were and Laura were have a little tip about
- 11:39Speaker 1: whose folder was, I was going to be like, yeah, man,
- 11:41Speaker 1: why did you leave? I was like, if you did it?
- 11:46Speaker 2: Actually self restrained.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Do you know what stopped me from that? The hour
- 11:50Speaker 1: which I was lovely, he was not. I thought he
- 11:53Speaker 1: doesn't need this.
- 11:56Speaker 2: So luckily we have the other prem, yeah, massive prem
- 11:59Speaker 2: as well. So Laura grab that somehow she ended up
- 12:01Speaker 2: in a train. I thought we'd never see her again.
- 12:04Speaker 2: We did see it, we thought she did. She's like,
- 12:06Speaker 2: I've ended up in Newcastle and this is your fault.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Why are you at the airport? Shut up?
- 12:12Speaker 1: It was such a frazzled morning. But then we get
- 12:14Speaker 1: out ourselves and we've got a pram kindly donated by
- 12:18Speaker 1: g WM.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Can I just say a lot of people have been like, oh,
- 12:22Speaker 2: must be nice to roll around and that.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Is it full. We'll get to why we did the
- 12:29Speaker 1: city deserve shortly, but it was donated to us to use,
- 12:33Speaker 1: to keep, to borrow, I mean, although they probably want
- 12:36Speaker 1: us to keep it now. After the kid's trashed absolutely
- 12:39Speaker 1: like a brothel. It's so bad. But we get out
- 12:43Speaker 1: as all the parents listening, you unfold the pram, which
- 12:45Speaker 1: is an exercise in itself. Kids get in. We realized
- 12:49Speaker 1: that we haven't pumped the tiers.
- 12:53Speaker 2: We pushed it round with no kids in it. Once
- 12:56Speaker 2: we have two kids in it.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Flat tires, they're not run flat, not those European run flats.
- 13:01Speaker 1: There was like a proper like racing bike and.
- 13:03Speaker 2: At this point I'm like, I can't take it out
- 13:05Speaker 2: of it. You can do it on your own.
- 13:08Speaker 1: I think I looked at you and I was like,
- 13:10Speaker 1: do we have to do this? Luckily and randomly, Hyde
- 13:15Speaker 1: Park on the corner has like a bike pump. It
- 13:20Speaker 1: could be confused as an explosive though a that, but
- 13:24Speaker 1: it saved us. We're just solving problems here.
- 13:27Speaker 2: It was they don't make it easy, and then the crowd,
- 13:30Speaker 2: and then the crowd, and then's like is it over yet?
- 13:34Speaker 2: And I'm like, well, strap on in, kid, because we've
- 13:37Speaker 2: got fourteen of the best kilometers in Sydney to conquer.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Yes. We all lined up on the start line, which
- 13:44Speaker 1: was so crowded.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Like to dad in our wave there was it was
- 13:50Speaker 2: like the family walking wave. I saw a dad with
- 13:53Speaker 2: twins newborns.
- 13:54Speaker 1: That's right, because we're sitting there and we're getting a
- 13:57Speaker 1: photo and I think we were taking the photo and
- 13:59Speaker 1: you were like twins and I was like, grab one.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Everyone crowded around, but yeah, We'll line up in the
- 14:08Speaker 1: family of friends section, which this is the first time
- 14:10Speaker 1: I've ever done seated the surf as I said before,
- 14:13Speaker 1: and when we rolled out, I'm like, oh, these prams.
- 14:16Speaker 1: I'm like, these are our people, these are people, these
- 14:18Speaker 1: are our people and we're people were like, it's you guys,
- 14:21Speaker 1: and like getting photos with us, and it was like
- 14:23Speaker 1: really nice to like be with camaraderie, camaraderie of parents
- 14:28Speaker 1: who want to do this and think it's going to
- 14:30Speaker 1: be really fun, well at least they don't know yet
- 14:32Speaker 1: think it's going to be really fun with their kids.
- 14:34Speaker 1: It actually quite was, but it was very long.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Very long. Marley ended up having a sleep. Lola, who
- 14:40Speaker 2: was with Laura, also had a sleep, and both of
- 14:43Speaker 2: them woke up and they were like are we still walking?
- 14:46Speaker 1: I know where are we lost a trooper through the
- 14:49Speaker 1: whole thing.
- 14:50Speaker 2: He did so well.
- 14:51Speaker 1: It was really awesome to see how many different variations
- 14:57Speaker 1: of families are on it because we've got the twins.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Then there disco dad, disco dad who had a DJ
- 15:03Speaker 1: deck in a pram and his kid next to him.
- 15:05Speaker 1: So he's made his kid give up his seat for
- 15:08Speaker 1: DJ and it was like techno kid in.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Favor of like a five foot high speaker. Oh, and
- 15:13Speaker 2: he was just like and he's like, Dad, can we
- 15:15Speaker 2: just please turn the music down? And can I sit
- 15:17Speaker 2: in there pram?
- 15:17Speaker 1: And he's like no, no dance. But you know, there
- 15:22Speaker 1: was like slightly older kid, heaps of fans. I was shocked.
- 15:26Speaker 2: You had the old person trying to run through and
- 15:27Speaker 2: get a PB and US prams. But we're like, it's
- 15:30Speaker 2: like on a highway where like the big semi trailer
- 15:32Speaker 2: like road trains stick together and block people out. We'd
- 15:35Speaker 2: like block in runners, not today's son.
- 15:38Speaker 1: We will slipstreaming behind him. But you know, we did
- 15:42Speaker 1: walk it with the family, and like I said, there
- 15:44Speaker 1: was so many Like if you had come to me
- 15:47Speaker 1: and said we're going to run the City Deserve with
- 15:50Speaker 1: our family, I would have been like. We were lucky
- 15:54Speaker 1: enough to team up with gw AM who brought us together.
- 15:58Speaker 1: They really They said, look, we've got an idea for
- 16:01Speaker 1: you guys.
- 16:01Speaker 2: We want you guys to break the record. And we
- 16:03Speaker 2: were like, we won't do that, but we'll bring the kids.
- 16:05Speaker 2: And they're like done. Yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 1: They were like, we really want you guys as a
- 16:09Speaker 1: family to show that it can be done by family. Yes,
- 16:13Speaker 1: and we did it. We successfully did it. I think
- 16:16Speaker 1: we got halfway. There was a billboard of.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Us oh yeah, which was that set us back about
- 16:20Speaker 2: twenty minute because we would' stop getting photos.
- 16:22Speaker 1: They were like, hey, everyone, look over here. And it
- 16:25Speaker 1: was huge. I thought it was going to be like
- 16:27Speaker 1: the back of a truck or like a or like
- 16:29Speaker 1: a bus stop, and it was like, look, I'm on
- 16:31Speaker 1: a bus stop. We were as big as a bus.
- 16:33Speaker 2: I was like, holy, And it's weird because halfway I
- 16:36Speaker 2: was getting quite tired, very fatigued. The feet were saw
- 16:40Speaker 2: and nothing spurs you on like a picture of yourself
- 16:43Speaker 2: that's twenty foot wide. It really does give you a boost.
- 16:48Speaker 1: It does. And that got us back. That was at
- 16:49Speaker 1: the top of Heartbreak Hill, wasn't it.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, which is when we needed it.
- 16:53Speaker 1: So many broken hearts up there.
- 16:55Speaker 2: And do you know what, I think it's harder to
- 16:58Speaker 2: walk than it is to run. I've woken up this
- 17:00Speaker 2: morning and the body is very sore. My calves are
- 17:04Speaker 2: very sore. Yeah, the front of my calf.
- 17:07Speaker 1: I am sore everywhere in places I didn't think I
- 17:09Speaker 1: was going to be sore. I carried Oscar on my
- 17:11Speaker 1: shoulders for like three or four k's just to give
- 17:14Speaker 1: him a break from the race pram in the luxury
- 17:17Speaker 1: race ramp. And at that angle he was like, there's
- 17:20Speaker 1: so many people down here. It didn't even really realize.
- 17:23Speaker 1: But oh yeah, today I was like, oh God.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Why now I know how the Olympians feel.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Similar. Look, I felt very proud of myself. Once it
- 17:34Speaker 1: was done, we pulled up, we crossed the finish line.
- 17:37Speaker 1: There was heaped to people around. It's a great vibe.
- 17:40Speaker 1: It's amazing vibe. We were ushered up to. GWM had
- 17:43Speaker 1: a little spot for us. They fed us, they gave
- 17:47Speaker 1: us liquid, bathed they you know, they had the kids

- 18:20Speaker 2: to you already on your phone. This is when we're
- 18:22Speaker 2: talking about Oscar getting a cap on his tooth and
- 18:26Speaker 2: a kid losing their tooth. So got a message. I
- 18:29Speaker 2: was worried because we don't talk about dentists favorably.
- 18:33Speaker 1: You know I feel about dentists.
- 18:34Speaker 2: I know, be nice. She's a fan of the show.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Hey guys, I'm actually just listening to your latest episode
- 18:40Speaker 3: of Two Doting Dads, and I'm actually a student dentist.
- 18:43Speaker 3: First of all, love how often we're talking about dentists
- 18:46Speaker 3: on this random It's such a random topic to consistently
- 18:49Speaker 3: bring up. But I just wanted to confirm for you
- 18:51Speaker 3: guys that you are born with all of the chemical
- 18:54Speaker 3: properties and materials in biology to create your teeth, but
- 18:59Speaker 3: it takes up until about six years old for you
- 19:01Speaker 3: to actually have those teeth in your jawline, for them
- 19:04Speaker 3: to be fully developed. And then if you're take an
- 19:06Speaker 3: extra of a six year old's mouth, you can see
- 19:09Speaker 3: that double layer. But before then there's no evidence of
- 19:11Speaker 3: the double layer. Thanks.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Love the party, Love the party at the end, love that.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Well there you go, there you go. Well I'm glad
- 19:20Speaker 1: we've got to the bottom of that.
- 19:21Speaker 2: And I was nervous. She was like, I'm actually a
- 19:24Speaker 2: student dentist, and I was like, oh god. She's like,
- 19:27Speaker 2: I better formal complain about podcast. Does she listen to
- 19:31Speaker 2: the podcast because we don't talk about dentists in the
- 19:33Speaker 2: most like kindness.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Of manners between them and rural doctors.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Yeah, next thing is someone I'm a rural doctor.

- 19:43Speaker 1: also have feelings, you go, thank you. Dental student Kate

- 19:59Speaker 2: always want I thought like newborns would do they.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Have Like I said, dentists are just mouth salesmen, and
- 20:05Speaker 1: they do the sales part of their education.

- 23:46Speaker 1: very thoughtful. Actually, a lot of thought has gone into this.
- 23:49Speaker 1: It's probably one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received.
- 23:51Speaker 2: You're very welcome. We often joke about the old flesh light.
- 23:54Speaker 1: We do. I'm just waiting for a dentist to jump
- 23:56Speaker 1: out now. I was gonna hate that. Sorry, it's okay.
- 24:03Speaker 1: I'm never gonna get to use it because she'll be like,
- 24:07Speaker 1: you're this disgusting, don't use it.

- 24:10Speaker 1: Gonna I'll better use it before this comes out.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got like twenty four hours to use it
- 24:14Speaker 2: as many times as you can.
- 24:18Speaker 1: I'll be like skinny by the time you see me next,
- 24:23Speaker 1: drained me, like, can't get off the couch. I believe

- 24:32Speaker 1: flesh light.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Well, why didn't you?
- 24:34Speaker 1: I think I've forgot hmm, I can't remember why I
- 24:38Speaker 1: thought about it. And then I was like, oh, I
- 24:40Speaker 1: think I think just time got away from me.
- 24:42Speaker 2: As it often often. I'm yet to use my SPA voucher.
- 24:46Speaker 1: By the way, Oh yeah, the same thing. Yeah, pretty much,
- 24:51Speaker 1: more or le much depends what suburb use it in. Yeah. Sure,
- 24:55Speaker 1: should we go two lives?
- 24:57Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me these little I've got a quick one here.
- 25:08Speaker 2: This is from Robin, and Robin says here that she
- 25:11Speaker 2: took her kids to a concert the Wiggles. Well that's
- 25:17Speaker 2: what you think, but kids were being an absolute nightmare,
- 25:20Speaker 2: little terrors, she says. So halfway through there's an intermission,
- 25:28Speaker 2: and Robin goes, well, that's it, the concert's over. Let's
- 25:33Speaker 2: get out of here.
- 25:36Speaker 1: That if I had an award, that's right up, Ali.
- 25:39Speaker 1: I love that. I've considered that with things, kids are
- 25:43Speaker 1: none the wiser. I had no idea. Also, you beat
- 25:46Speaker 1: the traffic like yeah, you're out the car park first.
- 25:48Speaker 1: That's genius. Very good, very good. This one from Carli
- 25:53Speaker 1: I do this too, but not quite. It's slightly different.
- 25:57Speaker 1: So I'll give you her lie and then I'll tell
- 25:59Speaker 1: you my variation. The I love it when parents riding things.
- 26:03Speaker 1: I do as well. So this one from Kylie says
- 26:06Speaker 1: there's a light on at the park that only parents
- 26:08Speaker 1: can see when it's too busy and can't fit any
- 26:11Speaker 1: more kids. So what I do is, if we go
- 26:18Speaker 1: anywhere remotely near a park, just say where I used
- 26:21Speaker 1: to live in Morewood in the swamp. See I've moved
- 26:24Speaker 1: out of the swamp in the valley. Now it must
- 26:26Speaker 1: be nice. It isn't. It's fucking dusty in here. Anyway.
- 26:31Speaker 2: It was a hard man to please.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I am. I just want to live comfortably.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Poor old Frank's probably like minus endo the podcast and
- 26:37Speaker 2: see how Ash is enjoying living with me, and he's.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Like, it's so dusty in my car. Next we have
- 26:41Speaker 1: to record from my car. So we used to go
- 26:44Speaker 1: near this park called rocket Ship Park, which is iconic
- 26:47Speaker 1: in the area. And if we go, yeah, we're going
- 26:50Speaker 1: to go down to the park. If we got two
- 26:52Speaker 1: clothes and I could see there was way too many
- 26:54Speaker 1: birthday parties on, I would say, oh, bummer kids, there's
- 26:59Speaker 1: too many people in the park. They just can't have anymore.
- 27:03Speaker 1: It's full. Or I go, they've booked it out to
- 27:06Speaker 1: a private party.
- 27:07Speaker 2: So what do you do to just go back home?
- 27:08Speaker 1: Just turn around and go somewhere else. Yeah, there's other parks,
- 27:14Speaker 1: or I just go do you want to go to
- 27:15Speaker 1: the shops and the like yeah gets them off pretty quick,
- 27:19Speaker 1: always go oh, do you need a baby Chino? That ah,
- 27:22Speaker 1: baby Tino trumps everything, like crack, yeah, I think it's
- 27:25Speaker 1: just the marshmallow they really want. But they can get
- 27:27Speaker 1: a marshmallow with that directly asking me for a marshmallow.
- 27:30Speaker 1: They can go baby Chino and I'm like yeah, okay,
- 27:32Speaker 1: and they get a marshmallow and they're like, got.
- 27:34Speaker 2: Him throw the little Actually got a quick one here.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Morley does this quite a lot. I might try that, so,
- 27:42Speaker 2: she says. In order to get me to stop sucking
- 27:45Speaker 2: my thumb. When I was really young, my mom told
- 27:47Speaker 2: me that if I kept on doing that, it would
- 27:49Speaker 2: turn red, then purple, and then fall off. I ignored
- 27:54Speaker 2: her warning and kept on doing it. One night, when
- 27:57Speaker 2: I was sleeping, my mom died. My thumb red. I
- 28:00Speaker 2: woke up and freaked out, but quickly resumed sucking my thumb.
- 28:04Speaker 2: The next night, she died at purple. I freaked out
- 28:08Speaker 2: so bad that I never sucked on it again.
- 28:14Speaker 1: That is commit the lie. Oh my God, says here.
- 28:20Speaker 2: My brother wouldn't stop. She had him sedated and removed
- 28:23Speaker 2: his thumb that night that that part was I made
- 28:29Speaker 2: that up.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Okay, I gathered.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Just in case.
- 28:34Speaker 1: But I think like, if you're going to commit into
- 28:37Speaker 1: liars are really easy because you could just be like, hey,
- 28:40Speaker 1: short sharp, that lemon's red and they're like no, it
- 28:43Speaker 1: was like you must be color blonde because that's a
- 28:44Speaker 1: red lemon. Idiot. But to actually go days and to
- 28:48Speaker 1: extend to the commit to it, yeah, bravo, brother, bravo,
- 28:53Speaker 1: they say, Matt, this is from Nicole. Nicole, Nicole, thank
- 28:58Speaker 1: you for writing in. Appreciate it. And if you do
- 29:00Speaker 1: want to write in for yourself, you can dm us
- 29:03Speaker 1: at two Doting Dads' Instagram or join the Facebook group
- 29:06Speaker 1: Facebook type in two Doting Dads, join the conversation. We
- 29:09Speaker 1: may or may not accept you.
- 29:11Speaker 2: We will accept you. We accept everyone.
- 29:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 29:14Speaker 2: So for predators, yeah, we have a very strict screening process.
- 29:18Speaker 1: Yes, it's like you have a first in the last name,
- 29:20Speaker 1: you're real. So this one's from Nicole and she says,
- 29:24Speaker 1: I tell my five and two year old that if
- 29:25Speaker 1: they don't clean up the playroom, the cleaners will throw
- 29:28Speaker 1: away whatever is left on the floor. Genius, very good,
- 29:32Speaker 1: except when they're like, you got to follow through with that,
- 29:35Speaker 1: she says, they think the cleaners come three times a week,
- 29:37Speaker 1: They only come once before. You've got to be able
- 29:42Speaker 1: to follow through on that one though. I would always
- 29:45Speaker 1: tell Oscar that if he was misbehaving, whatever toy he
- 29:48Speaker 1: had at the time, I'm throwing that out if he
- 29:50Speaker 1: doesn't stop, and he got so. I got so frustrated
- 29:54Speaker 1: with him one time in the old place at the Swamp,
- 29:56Speaker 1: upstairs had balcony doors, and he was upstairs and it's
- 30:00Speaker 1: just been an absolute turd. So I snatched the car
- 30:03Speaker 1: out of his hand and you threw it, launched it
- 30:06Speaker 1: out the doors onto the main road, and a car
- 30:09Speaker 1: just went bushka. That's impressive, he screamed, And Abral was like,
- 30:17Speaker 1: the fuck do you do that for? It's just a threat.
- 30:19Speaker 1: I'm like, not in this house.
- 30:21Speaker 2: It's not you're going to follow through.
- 30:22Speaker 1: They realize yeah, that once they get and actually my
- 30:26Speaker 1: mom just said to me that, She's like, don't make
- 30:28Speaker 1: threats you can't follow through with. I'm like, do you
- 30:29Speaker 1: know what you're talking to?
- 30:30Speaker 2: Yeah? I am scared of nothing.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I am scared of nothing.
- 30:34Speaker 2: It's always like three, come here, come here. Two. If
- 30:38Speaker 2: I get to one, you're in trouble. Not once have
- 30:41Speaker 2: I made up to one.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I remember once because my mom used to count up,
- 30:45Speaker 1: So do your countdown family. We're a count up family.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Generations of count ups. My mom used to count up
- 30:56Speaker 1: and I would go. I remember one time I said
- 30:58Speaker 1: to her, you're gonna have to count lot higher than that,
- 31:01Speaker 1: and she hit me with the wooden spoon.
- 31:04Speaker 2: So hard fucking smarter.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was, and I would have been sub ten.
- 31:15Speaker 1: I was like, I don't have to count louder than that.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Whack wow.
- 31:20Speaker 1: Anyway, long long line of count hoppers.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Explains a lot. Your mum's doing it all wrong.
- 31:29Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm going to questions, but that
- 31:31Speaker 1: was my question for you, a countdown or account upper.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Let's go into some list of questions. Matt, dude, you
- 31:37Speaker 1: like to go first.
- 31:38Speaker 2: I'll first first. This one came through. They wanted to
- 31:40Speaker 2: be anonymous, but they just said, when you're out at
- 31:43Speaker 2: a restaurant eating with the kids, is it the responsibility
- 31:47Speaker 2: of the parents to clean up after the children or
- 31:50Speaker 2: is it solely on the waiter or wait tress to
- 31:52Speaker 2: clean up when you guys leave.
- 31:55Speaker 1: If you're going to leave a tip, a nice tip,
- 31:57Speaker 1: it's on the waiter. I think I never tip.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, very rare, unless it's like.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Sitting around here and the kids made a blatant mass
- 32:07Speaker 1: and they've without you asking or leaving it to clean up,
- 32:10Speaker 1: they come and they actually just clean it up as
- 32:12Speaker 1: part of the service. I think that's typical because you've
- 32:15Speaker 1: saved me doing it, and you saved me walking out,
- 32:17Speaker 1: and then you're going fucking cocka. I just live his
- 32:20Speaker 1: fucking shit everywhere.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Sere's someone who used to work in hospitality ash I
- 32:26Speaker 2: very much believe, and I like to be that annoying
- 32:29Speaker 2: person at the table who's like stacked up the plates.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I've got all the cutlery in like one section. I'll
- 32:35Speaker 2: make their life.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Easy, right, so you would fully clean up.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Because I'm just some so desperate to be liked. Thank you.
- 32:46Speaker 1: That water must love me, love me. Have done.
- 32:49Speaker 2: I'm in the kitchen cooking for the chef.
- 32:51Speaker 1: This is enough. It's like, I'll carry it back to
- 32:53Speaker 1: the dishwasher for you're just in there. Look, I think
- 32:58Speaker 1: I think you've got to make it so it's not
- 33:00Speaker 1: if it's an absolute fucking if they're throwing food on
- 33:02Speaker 1: the floor and shit like that. No I think, actually,
- 33:05Speaker 1: here we go go on. This is just come to me.
- 33:08Speaker 1: I don't know how it's gonna come out. I don't
- 33:09Speaker 1: know how it's gonna start. I don't know how it's
- 33:10Speaker 1: going to be.
- 33:11Speaker 2: This is a place of zero judgment. You can say
- 33:13Speaker 2: anything and it's fine.
- 33:13Speaker 1: I feel like if anything is dropped off the table,
- 33:16Speaker 1: it is now the responsibility of the parent.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Yep.
- 33:20Speaker 1: If it's on the table, unless you're taking it with you,
- 33:24Speaker 1: that's the restaurant's responsibility.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Very like that came out beautifully.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Thank you. I just looked at the floor. I looked
- 33:31Speaker 1: at the table, and I thought, there's a clear There
- 33:34Speaker 1: needs to be a clear line. There is a clear
- 33:36Speaker 1: line that divides the tabletop to the floor. I'm gonna
- 33:39Speaker 1: put that on T shirt. It's going to be quite long.
- 33:42Speaker 1: If it hits the floor, it's your responsibility. That's great,
- 33:46Speaker 1: that's good. Gerald's write that down. Well what do you reckon?
- 33:51Speaker 2: Look? I agree? I agree? And if you want to
- 33:54Speaker 2: be a people pleaser like me, I mean, hey, go nuts,
- 33:58Speaker 2: lick the table clean?
- 34:00Speaker 1: Is that okay? Seventeen?
- 34:02Speaker 2: I bring them when we go to restaurants, I bring
- 34:05Speaker 2: a mop with me and I believe in mopping the
- 34:07Speaker 2: floor underneath the table before we leave, and I'm like,
- 34:10Speaker 2: is this isn't.
- 34:11Speaker 1: You walk in one of those vacuum clean the backpacks? Yeah, straps,
- 34:14Speaker 1: I'll be.
- 34:14Speaker 2: Like and they're like, we didn't order a clean I'm like, oh,
- 34:17Speaker 2: that's a right. What is here for lunch?
- 34:18Speaker 1: Got Dyson? Matt? I have a question for you please,
- 34:25Speaker 1: And this is more someone needs your advice.
- 34:28Speaker 2: You come to the right place.
- 34:29Speaker 1: It is anonymous, but I'm assuming it's from a mum
- 34:33Speaker 1: because she was saying, it's going to be my partner's
- 34:35Speaker 1: first Father's Day coming up. Congratulations, congratulations, and there's going
- 34:39Speaker 1: to be a lot of firsts for all dads, but
- 34:41Speaker 1: this one's the most important one, I believe. Putting that
- 34:45Speaker 1: on a teacher too, she has asked what she should
- 34:50Speaker 1: get this young father for Father's Day other than them,
- 34:56Speaker 1: no other than.
- 34:59Speaker 2: A first light go for US four thousand.
- 35:01Speaker 1: We're actually giving one away. It's slightly used.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Maybe it would be a great sponsor for the podcast.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's the actual rant flashlight? If you're watching,
- 35:11Speaker 1: I'll take one question? Is first Father's Day? What do
- 35:16Speaker 1: you get? Well, what do you get? Any data on
- 35:18Speaker 1: a father's day. But I think the first one is
- 35:19Speaker 1: very important because it's the first time you get to
- 35:22Speaker 1: celebrate that you.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Have been there impregnated someone that you're not a vagin.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Yeah, we get this.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Question a lot. I often see this question floating around
- 35:32Speaker 2: the Facebook group, even on Life on Cut Terrible podcast Dreadful?
- 35:37Speaker 1: Is that about circumcision? Very good?
- 35:41Speaker 2: Very good?
- 35:42Speaker 1: But actually, can I credit Laura for that joke? It's
- 35:45Speaker 1: really quick? Yeah, thank you.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Very hard to buy for men, I believe, especially when
- 35:49Speaker 2: you're an adult, buying for actually buying for any adult
- 35:52Speaker 2: is hard, because when you're of a certain age, you
- 35:55Speaker 2: need something, you just buy.
- 35:56Speaker 1: It's get them a toy.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:58Speaker 1: Also, there's I don't know if you're all this video
- 36:00Speaker 1: getting around the internet. That was a classic man responses.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You don't need to get me in anything like that,
- 36:05Speaker 1: but you really are, like, she better get.
- 36:09Speaker 2: But there is one gift, one gift only actually, which
- 36:13Speaker 2: I believe to be the only gift that will make
- 36:15Speaker 2: any dad happy.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Let me see if I guess I keep sick to
- 36:22Speaker 1: me close.
- 36:25Speaker 2: That is number two three, after the flesh I gotta
- 36:28Speaker 2: get this flesh light after table.
- 36:29Speaker 1: This is my father was going to walk down what
- 36:32Speaker 1: a podcast is this? Put it under his shirt and
- 36:35Speaker 1: back upstairs. It's a bit smaller.
- 36:39Speaker 2: My mouth water. No, sorry, there is one gift ash
- 36:44Speaker 2: and it just so happens. And I don't want to
- 36:46Speaker 2: sound like I'm being too biased here, but this gift
- 36:50Speaker 2: was created by you and me. It was it is.
- 36:56Speaker 1: It is a book. It's a book Two Doting Dads
- 36:58Speaker 1: and the Quest for Free Time.
- 37:01Speaker 2: I mean, and was that question anonymous? Or did I
- 37:03Speaker 2: write that in myself? Will never know?
- 37:06Speaker 1: Well, you fooled me. You wrote it like fifty five times.
- 37:09Speaker 1: It's like, ask this one, this one and as this
- 37:13Speaker 1: episode is live now, so is the book.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Yeah, so it came out yesterday. Yeah, correct, Tuesday, the
- 37:19Speaker 2: book was available now you can we're saying pre order
- 37:23Speaker 2: before now. You can get it. You can touch it,
- 37:25Speaker 2: you can sniff it, you can lick it to whatever
- 37:28Speaker 2: you want. With the book, you can't read it as well,
- 37:31Speaker 2: if that's what.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I tried to read it to Oscar Macy and because
- 37:33Speaker 1: they're in it, they're like how did that happen? There?
- 37:36Speaker 1: Before I get to the like, they're just like why
- 37:37Speaker 1: are you doing this? Why am I doing that? Before
- 37:40Speaker 1: it's like getting to the actual story. You didn't get
- 37:43Speaker 1: hated it. No, it's a great fun read. It's not
- 37:48Speaker 1: just for the kids. There's hopefully some relatability in there.
- 37:51Speaker 2: But also it's about two dads who are trying to
- 37:54Speaker 2: catch up for a drink, reminiscing about the times before
- 37:57Speaker 2: they were parents.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Free time, and I think, honestly, I really think that
- 38:01Speaker 1: both parents, any parent deserves some free time.
- 38:04Speaker 2: It's the most important part. Absolutely need time to yourself
- 38:08Speaker 2: to recharge from the little creatures that suck the life
- 38:11Speaker 2: right out of you. Well said, provide you with moments
- 38:13Speaker 2: of joy, but majority of the time make life help.
- 38:16Speaker 1: But then, as we all know, when you're trying to
- 38:19Speaker 1: get some free time, they fucking get sick or some shy.
- 38:23Speaker 2: There's always some disaster something. It's a never ending just
- 38:27Speaker 2: situation of putting out fires.
- 38:29Speaker 1: And it has quite the twist ending that you want.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Yes, oh, should we give it away? No, we'll put
- 38:36Speaker 2: a link in the show notes. But would we would
- 38:38Speaker 2: love for you guys to get behind the very first
- 38:42Speaker 2: book that Ash and I have ever written. Hopefully it's
- 38:45Speaker 2: the first of many. Yes, we have to sell I
- 38:49Speaker 2: don't know how many we've sold.
- 38:50Speaker 1: One million? No, I don't know. I think we've sold
- 38:53Speaker 1: one hundred, but we bought them all.
- 38:54Speaker 2: But it looks I'm so I'm so proud.
- 38:57Speaker 1: And oh as am I and Ash and I.
- 39:00Speaker 2: In addition to having like saw hips or knees, sore feet, blisters,
- 39:04Speaker 2: we also have sow wrists. Not because we jack each
- 39:06Speaker 2: other off.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Beat me to it. Sorry, you beat me to it.
- 39:13Speaker 1: So we don't need to do that anymore.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Because we were at the warehouse this morning and we
- 39:20Speaker 2: signed a number of coffee coffees.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Okay, let's get through this and get over.
- 39:24Speaker 2: We found a number of copies that went out and
- 39:27Speaker 2: as I was signing like the fiftieth book, I was like,
- 39:30Speaker 2: this a hurts a lot and it's not good for
- 39:33Speaker 2: my RSI, but also, b it's really cool. It's great,
- 39:36Speaker 2: it's great. It's it's we've been talking about this book
- 39:38Speaker 2: for a long time. It's it's taken forever to like
- 39:43Speaker 2: writing a book, even though it's only about ten pages. Oh,
- 39:46Speaker 2: there's a lot of bloody.
- 39:47Speaker 1: Writing a book. It's like three hundred pages. Wouldn't it
- 39:49Speaker 1: take you thirty years?
- 39:51Speaker 2: I'd never do it.
- 39:52Speaker 1: And also has got like four words on every page,
- 39:55Speaker 1: and it's like I don't have people do it. It
- 39:57Speaker 1: makes it harder, but we it still makes us author.
- 40:00Speaker 2: We now published authors.
- 40:02Speaker 1: We are, yes, so can't wait to change my link
- 40:04Speaker 1: all the real authors out there.
