Speaker 2: It's all food.
5:06
Speaker 1: He's a terrible deal. Oh my god, terrible offers. And
5:10
Speaker 1: then yeah, and then it dragged. The day just dragged
5:12
Speaker 1: on for those of you who are outside of nessuth
5:14
Speaker 1: whales like clocks changed an hour, which gave us another hour,
5:18
Speaker 1: so when we would have them in bed an hour
5:20
Speaker 1: togo and by then they were crashing so hard off.
5:23
Speaker 3: For the sugar high, which it lasted all day. So
5:25
Speaker 3: we're just the kids are just melting down.
5:27
Speaker 2: His assholes in the world. I was like, oh, this sucks.
5:30
Speaker 2: It sucks so bad. And like we set up the
5:33
Speaker 2: night before. If he gets in the car, just maybe
5:35
Speaker 2: just turn the volume down. We set up the night
5:37
Speaker 2: before like an egg trail to maybe to one or
5:40
Speaker 2: two bigger eggs, right, And obviously Oscar took over both trails.
5:45
Speaker 2: He was like, he took both trails, and then Macy
5:48
Speaker 2: was like, he took the ones from my lane. So
5:54
Speaker 2: then we got to divvy them out again. And it's like,
5:56
Speaker 2: oh my.
5:56
Speaker 1: God, you know what Laura did to me the night
5:58
Speaker 1: before because it was ray where we were so like,
6:01
Speaker 1: we'll do it an inside hunt. So when it's the
6:04
Speaker 1: outside hunt, it's great because you can at least do
6:06
Speaker 1: that a little bit later in the day where it's
6:08
Speaker 1: the inside hunt. And Laura was like, put the trails
6:10
Speaker 1: started from their bedrooms.
6:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jesus, can I just say one thing, don't have
6:15
Speaker 2: an edible and then put the chocolates out. Don't do that.
6:19
Speaker 2: April was like, the trail doesn't reach all the way.
6:21
Speaker 2: I'm like, make it reach find a way and she
6:23
Speaker 2: was like why and I'm like a mouthful of Laura.
6:30
Speaker 1: Was like, can you write some clues? And I was like, sure,
6:32
Speaker 1: I can do like a like this way, and then

Speaker 3: I was like, what riddles?
6:38
Speaker 6: What for?
6:39
Speaker 3: The kids can't read.
6:40
Speaker 2: The Easter money is not known for riddles.
6:41
Speaker 3: Even so she was like, just gise chat GPT.
6:46
Speaker 1: So I was like, fuck, you know, why why did
6:48
Speaker 1: the easter money across the road?
6:50
Speaker 2: They're not going to be reading that at one o'clock
6:52
Speaker 2: in the morning.
6:52
Speaker 3: Because the chicken had a day off.
6:54
Speaker 2: That's actually a good gear. Let me take that down next.
6:57
Speaker 1: It was so hard because I was like, mine's going
6:58
Speaker 1: to know my handwriting and goes do it in cursive
7:01
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's so hard, and what.

7:06
Speaker 1: Well?
7:06
Speaker 2: I don't know.
7:06
Speaker 1: But then afterwards Marley was like, oh, clearly that was dad,
7:09
Speaker 1: because he's the one he can't write to bunny.
7:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was like, you've been outsmarted.

7:53
Speaker 1: Easts just like absorbed everything. Yeah, my memories, it's taken
7:58
Speaker 1: my memories.
7:59
Speaker 2: Taken everything from me. But yeah, just an announcement then,
8:02
Speaker 2: so loud and proud. Oscar, who is known for asking
8:06
Speaker 2: people what they came across country and bases them off
8:09
Speaker 2: how athletic they are with that response one.
8:12
Speaker 1: Yes he did. Yeah, round of applause. By March was
8:16
Speaker 1: a big win.
8:17
Speaker 2: I tell you what. The strategy amazing. He went fast
8:19
Speaker 2: at the start, yep, fast in the middle, and fast
8:21
Speaker 2: at the end.
8:22
Speaker 3: There it is perfect genus.
8:23
Speaker 2: No, he actually it's a one kilometer, which is a lot,
8:26
Speaker 2: and cross country just a long run.
8:28
Speaker 3: Yep.
8:29
Speaker 2: Really well said, you know, it goes up a hill
8:31
Speaker 2: and stuff like this. But he was running in second
8:34
Speaker 2: the first lap. The kid in front, who turned seven
8:36
Speaker 2: in January.
8:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's get him in grade one.
8:40
Speaker 2: That's performance enhancing. The guy who won the Grade two
8:44
Speaker 2: one did it with one shoe, so that commitment.
8:47
Speaker 3: Holy, because what happened.
8:48
Speaker 2: His shoots fell off. He runs too fast.
8:51
Speaker 3: Just check your lasers before the fucking None.
8:53
Speaker 2: Of these kids have lasers anymore. They're all growing shit,
8:56
Speaker 2: So that's another problem. Oscar's behind this kid, and I'll
8:59
Speaker 2: show you. April filmed it, and April prides herself on
9:02
Speaker 2: not being competitive, but I want to know what you
9:04
Speaker 2: think about this audio.
9:05
Speaker 3: Please.
9:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's gonna hate me for that.
9:23
Speaker 2: He came back, came past the first time we were
9:26
Speaker 2: all there watching, and which is great. I was like, yeah,
9:28
Speaker 2: he got on your buddy and he was second, and
9:30
Speaker 2: he saw that we were all watching and was like,
9:32
Speaker 2: I'm overtaken, fucking hit the nose straight, overtaken to first,
9:36
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, don't do that. You're gonna
9:37
Speaker 2: run out of steam. And he came back around the
9:39
Speaker 2: corner again and he was back in second because obviously
9:41
Speaker 2: old man. He was much taller like his dad was
9:44
Speaker 2: next to me and I'm like, what do you feed
9:45
Speaker 2: this boy? Do you get this kid? It's huge he
9:48
Speaker 2: was just like, we just shut up. He was just
9:51
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I don't know if he was
9:53
Speaker 2: like I don't even know his mind, like fair col fair, fair,
9:56
Speaker 2: but he's good everything.
9:57
Speaker 8: He just turned to a dad and like that one
9:59
Speaker 8: you And then they went up the hill and you
10:04
Speaker 8: can see them get to the top of the climax
10:07
Speaker 8: of the hill, if you will, and go to the top,
10:09
Speaker 8: and he dropped into third.
10:10
Speaker 2: This little kid, Billy who's got a mullet like Ned
10:13
Speaker 2: Brockman kid. His kids just great on the hills. This
10:18
Speaker 2: little kid, he was like a little whibbet up the
10:21
Speaker 2: hill and I'm like, oh, no, dropped and I thought,
10:23
Speaker 2: oh god, I know. And then they do the hill
10:24
Speaker 2: and you don't see him and you see him coming
10:26
Speaker 2: down the hill and his neck and neck in front
10:28
Speaker 2: with Billy and the hair from Billy is running like that.
10:30
Speaker 2: And he's running like that, and poor Billy got a
10:33
Speaker 2: bit disorientated and made the wrong turn, and Oscar just
10:36
Speaker 2: capitalized on that mistake and he was going to overtake
10:40
Speaker 2: him anyway. He was coming. He was determined that way.
10:44
Speaker 2: And he came back past around the final band and
10:48
Speaker 2: up the thing and he was as soon as he
10:50
Speaker 2: saw the finish line, he was off mate and he
10:53
Speaker 2: was I don't know, he was pumped. He was pumped.
10:55
Speaker 2: April was also pumped. I can't tell, but yeah, it's
10:59
Speaker 2: still on the hodium the whole bit.
11:01
Speaker 3: You gotta be proud.
11:01
Speaker 2: I was very proud, and I was also very very
11:04
Speaker 2: I was gloating a lot.
11:06
Speaker 3: That's my boy.
11:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
11:08
Speaker 2: I was just like, well, you know runs in the family,
11:10
Speaker 2: and it was great, you got a ribbon, the whole bit.
11:15
Speaker 1: When you're a kid that ribbons everything, it is everything
11:19
Speaker 1: is absolutely everything.
11:21
Speaker 2: So we've got a champion.
11:22
Speaker 3: That There is definitely a hierarchy in sports.
11:26
Speaker 1: And one thing that I would have killed for that
11:28
Speaker 1: I never got would would have been to be the
11:30
Speaker 1: fastest over one hundred meters.
11:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that was me in the day.
11:35
Speaker 3: I can tell. I can tell that shows.
11:37
Speaker 2: When teenager ran a twelve flat.
11:39
Speaker 3: I didn't ask your lave story, which was it's pretty good.
11:41
Speaker 2: I didn't, well was then now it's not so good.
11:44
Speaker 2: But anyway, well, let you know what happens with the athletes.
11:46
Speaker 2: When's that I don't know, probably Christmas.
11:48
Speaker 3: April is gonna be there muzzled.
11:50
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was gonna start soccer this week, and
11:57
Speaker 2: like she's like, oh, I'm not competitive. I'm like, mate,
12:00
Speaker 2: you are competitive. You just don't. You're in denial, your Egyptian,
12:04
Speaker 2: You're in denial.
12:05
Speaker 1: There is hey, I have to apologize Sash. Last week
12:08
Speaker 1: we talked about the happy song. Oh yeah, and whilst
12:12
Speaker 1: we have a number of people thankful for the awareness
12:15
Speaker 1: of such a groundbreaking song that we are spreading, there's
12:19
Speaker 1: a number of parents who were attacking us.
12:22
Speaker 2: It is annoying that song.
12:24
Speaker 3: It's the happy song.
12:25
Speaker 2: It's it's more it's the annoying song.
12:28
Speaker 3: It's a bit of an earworm.
12:30
Speaker 2: The premise of it happy, but then when it gets
12:32
Speaker 2: stuck at.
12:34
Speaker 1: A lot of parents were like, this is very triggering
12:37
Speaker 1: to those parents. Shut up, deal with it.
12:41
Speaker 3: This is my podcast, and I play the songs that
12:43
Speaker 3: I want to play.
12:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I totally agree. Look, I can see how it
12:47
Speaker 2: would trigger people, thinking I remember that from my baby screaming. Honestly,
12:51
Speaker 2: a baby screaming triggers me. So I don't know I
12:54
Speaker 2: can do about that.
12:55
Speaker 1: I did get a couple of videos of people being
12:56
Speaker 1: like waiting for the song to start working. I was
12:59
Speaker 1: just then in the car with a child's screaming in
13:02
Speaker 1: a reverse car seat a couple of months old, and I.
13:04
Speaker 2: Just turned whatever songs on. I would have just turn
13:06
Speaker 2: it off and be like round it out, but it
13:08
Speaker 2: just didn't work.
13:09
Speaker 3: Round it right.
13:10
Speaker 2: I still can't drown that shit out, like if my
13:12
Speaker 2: kids are just too noisy. It's this is one thing
13:14
Speaker 2: that triggers me. I don't know why. When usually if
13:16
Speaker 2: I walk into a time zone and there's a million kids,
13:20
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's like, this is bliss. And then when
13:23
Speaker 2: I'm just with the kids and then I can hear them,
13:25
Speaker 2: they cough and You're like, shut up exactly. I don't
13:27
Speaker 2: know what it is. I don't know.
13:28
Speaker 3: God damn it. Hey, there's a line in here that
13:30
Speaker 3: I have to apologize to. Vic. What's that about?
13:33
Speaker 6: Ashwall explain?
13:34
Speaker 2: This is groundbreaking. So we were talking about names last week, kids' names.
13:38
Speaker 2: Have someone named the kid after you?
13:40
Speaker 3: We're also shout out to Mattie j Jr.
13:42
Speaker 2: Matty j Jr. Maddie JJ. We were talking about Marley May,
13:45
Speaker 2: the word May and where May came from and with
13:49
Speaker 2: some well Vic, not me. I've done another work. Vick
13:51
Speaker 2: has stumbled across an article by who that was written
13:54
Speaker 2: about you and something that you Matthew J. Johnson Matthewdavid
14:00
Speaker 2: Johnson has said on a podcast, by the way, on
14:03
Speaker 2: an old podcast, a failed podcast that you had with
14:06
Speaker 2: Nat Bass, it's nice that that didn't take off, because
14:09
Speaker 2: then this wouldn't have probably taken off. This is a
14:11
Speaker 2: direct quote, Matte from you. So last week, am I right?
14:15
Speaker 2: Victor say that he denied the where May came from?
14:18
Speaker 6: He thought that I thought that May was from Tony May.

Speaker 6: A new parenting study has found that raising daughters can
21:36
Speaker 6: feel twice as stressful as raising suns. The year long
21:41
Speaker 6: study of five thousand parents found that those with girls
21:44
Speaker 6: reported higher day to day stress tied to emotional communication,
21:48
Speaker 6: social expectations, and behavior management. Research has also found that
21:53
Speaker 6: by the week's end, these parents were twice as likely
21:57
Speaker 6: to feel emotionally drained than those with sons.
22:00
Speaker 2: Maddie very valid, I say not my Macy.
22:04
Speaker 6: I knew he was going to say.
22:06
Speaker 3: You have a say anything.
22:09
Speaker 2: Then I just speak exactly. You did say emotionally exhausted.
22:14
Speaker 2: That I'll agree with. I think physically exhausted boy parents
22:18
Speaker 2: because Oscar, like I said, it's like having a kelpie.

22:36
Speaker 2: than me.
22:36
Speaker 3: Now, No, they're just hidden.
22:38
Speaker 1: Can I ask a quick question of the five thousand
22:41
Speaker 1: families that were studied, which is very robust research work,
22:44
Speaker 1: which I appreciate.

Speaker 2: What I'm trying to say is your taste, your taste
29:01
Speaker 2: in the opposite sex, all the same.
29:03
Speaker 3: Interrupted, Vic, what's that so?
29:04
Speaker 6: Vic?
29:05
Speaker 2: Sorry? I was gonna say.
29:06
Speaker 5: I think.
29:09
Speaker 6: Are he's saying those mothers that are good looking.
29:11
Speaker 2: At the Yeah?
29:12
Speaker 1: I just think there's no more appropriate ways to convey
29:15
Speaker 1: that message other than using a disgraceful term.
29:18
Speaker 2: I stand by it.
29:20
Speaker 3: It's all the mills listening.
29:21
Speaker 2: I got back, and I don't, of course I do.
29:25
Speaker 2: But they're just now they're just women our age with kids, right,
29:28
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm getting. At the older you get
29:31
Speaker 2: who you're attracted to. That changes too, So I would
29:34
Speaker 2: assume she would be like, he's a lovely, handsome man.
29:37
Speaker 1: Well, I find myself looking at sixty year olds and
29:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, she's quite got pretty guilf you.
29:45
Speaker 2: So anyway, eighty Eightyes, I thought that on him impressive,
29:48
Speaker 2: that's impressive, also dangerous.
29:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't trust I wouldn't trust that.
29:52
Speaker 2: But that'd be the sort of person who when they
29:54
Speaker 2: stopped working, like now, yeah.
29:57
Speaker 3: He's just because he knows that's it. That's end off.
30:01
Speaker 2: That is and of so I just wanted to touch
30:03
Speaker 2: on that because I wanted to know how old.
30:05
Speaker 1: Like, like, I think it's I'd love to I've never
30:09
Speaker 1: gone up to an old person like what are y?
30:10
Speaker 2: What? What number are Can I count that high?
30:14
Speaker 3: What are you still doing here?
30:16
Speaker 2: Yeah?
30:17
Speaker 3: What's what's happened? What's going wrong on your life?
30:19
Speaker 2: It cost a living, but like.
30:20
Speaker 3: You can relax, you know, yeah, you know you can
30:22
Speaker 3: be in a pension.
30:23
Speaker 2: You could be on a pension. Yeah. Maybe just loves
30:25
Speaker 2: the word and they like to talk to people.
30:27
Speaker 6: Like the biggest decline is from the lack of communication
30:30
Speaker 6: with older people. So like, the more they can get
30:32
Speaker 6: out and talk to people. I think this is why
30:33
Speaker 6: they invented Bunnings, because all the old people like electricians.
30:37
Speaker 6: He should be getting into Bunny.
30:38
Speaker 1: I know, I've got a fourteen year old of Bunnings
30:40
Speaker 1: and I know, shit, I don't know fucking anything.
30:42
Speaker 3: I was trying to buy a gurney and he's like,
30:44
Speaker 3: what's that.

Speaker 3: So they're just like putting.
38:57

Speaker 1: we are from another weekend that we've enjoyed.
39:25
Speaker 2: I can't believe you're committed to cleaning when the kids
39:27
Speaker 2: were there.
39:27
Speaker 1: The level of admin to get through ash will start
39:29
Speaker 1: to finish. I was driving back last night and I
39:32
Speaker 1: was just like, I'm exhausted.
39:33

39:37
Speaker 1: once the house is at a level, at a level,
39:39
Speaker 1: once it's ready to go.
39:40
Speaker 3: You know.
39:41
Speaker 1: Was driving back and there's a song that I think
39:44
Speaker 1: makes you contemplate life more than any other song.
39:46
Speaker 2: It's called the Happy Song.
39:47
Speaker 3: No it's clocked by Coldplay.
39:49
Speaker 2: I was driving It's a montage song.

Speaker 3: back and I was just like, what.
39:54
Speaker 2: Is life it's a montage song. It's a montage, so
39:57
Speaker 2: that and like as we go, that's sort of sort.

Speaker 1: fucking took twenty minutes and the McDonald's doing a shit
40:07
Speaker 1: in there.
40:08
Speaker 3: I was like, I just want to get home.
40:09
Speaker 2: So what's the rant here?
40:10
Speaker 1: Just to the fact that, in general is the fact
40:13
Speaker 1: that we had Easter long weekend, which let's just recap
40:16
Speaker 1: and say, the worst holiday.
40:18
Speaker 2: You can't wait out, it's a phase.
40:20
Speaker 1: And then we just spent the whole weekend and then
40:22
Speaker 1: like the one day it was nice, we're frantically trying
40:25
Speaker 1: to clean up the last like bits on the last day.
40:28
Speaker 1: Didn't even get to swim in the ocean on that
40:30
Speaker 1: last day when it was nice and someone was out
40:32
Speaker 1: WHI took the kids for a summing like five thirty
40:33
Speaker 1: at night when it was freezing and they're like, this
40:35
Speaker 1: is cold, and I was like, this is the only
40:38
Speaker 1: outdoor time we get.
40:41
Speaker 2: It's that's my parent Okay.
40:43
Speaker 3: I'm done and finished. It's off my chest.
40:45
Speaker 2: How do you feel better?
40:47
Speaker 1: I think, well, than anything, I feel guilty for the
40:49
Speaker 1: kids because they didn't get to have like a yeah, no,
40:53
Speaker 1: I feel good.
40:54
Speaker 3: And then this morning that they woke up and they
40:56
Speaker 3: were like, what are we doing today?
40:57
Speaker 1: And I was like, I thought I was going to
40:59
Speaker 1: stay at home with Nana and they've actually got holiday care, which.
41:03
Speaker 3: Is fun, but they have so much fun I know.
41:05
Speaker 3: They were like, we don't want to Today was.
41:07
Speaker 2: Bike day again, Oscar, so I'm expecting carnage.
41:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got golf golf day.
41:13
Speaker 2: Then we got Iceberg's Day. We got to at the
41:17
Speaker 2: top of the hill.
41:18
Speaker 3: It's put putt golf. Give me a break. I'm fucking
41:22
Speaker 3: opening up here.
41:23
Speaker 2: Emotions, the gold and the balls of diamonds? Are we
41:27
Speaker 2: all gonna move?
41:28
Speaker 3: Read the pair out?
41:29
Speaker 2: This is a perante from Celeste.
41:32
Speaker 3: So Celeste, what a lovely thank you for writing in.
41:34
Speaker 2: Yes, I appreciate that. Yeah, I must vent, says Celeste.
41:37
Speaker 2: Better yet, I'll be the translator. Daycare, Easter special, leave
41:43
Speaker 2: work early so you can also collect your kid early.
41:46
Speaker 2: Continue to pay full rate and give us the early mark.
41:49
Speaker 2: So I think what she means by that one is
41:51
Speaker 2: on Easter weekend you do the Easter hat parade, usually
41:54
Speaker 2: on the last day of the term. Yeah, and you
41:57
Speaker 2: go in, say two o'clock or whatever to watch all
42:00
Speaker 2: the kids do their parade, but then you can't leave
42:03
Speaker 2: them without your kid for the next couple of hours
42:05
Speaker 2: You've got work to do. And then all of a
42:07
Speaker 2: sudden it's like, okay, well you're leaving at two thirty
42:09
Speaker 2: whatever because the parade on think goes for so long.
42:11
Speaker 2: And then you're still paying a full ry.
42:13
Speaker 1: Do we get like twenty percent back because everything they're
42:15
Speaker 1: going to do a twenty percent day.
42:16
Speaker 2: No, so that's the first one we've got here.
42:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, please continue, and.
42:19
Speaker 2: Then public holidays, enjoy the time with your kids whilst
42:22
Speaker 2: we enjoy your fee payment on your day off.
42:25
Speaker 3: Like can we?
42:26
Speaker 1: Honestly, the parents of this country need to band together
42:30
Speaker 1: and protest at how fucking ridiculous. And this is to
42:33
Speaker 1: the system, not to the early educators, because we love
42:36
Speaker 1: the work that you do.
42:37
Speaker 3: It's priceless.
42:37
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is not directed at preschool two.
42:40
Speaker 1: We should not be paying daycare fucking fees on public holidays.
42:45
Speaker 5: For God's say.
42:46
Speaker 3: At least give us a day in lou Like, come on,
42:49
Speaker 3: it's like it's criminal.
42:50
Speaker 1: Imagine you're paying two hundred bucks a day and you've
42:53
Speaker 1: got Easter long weekend again, the worst weekend, the worst
42:56
Speaker 1: weekend of the year, and you get in charge four
42:58
Speaker 1: hundred bucks for daycare days.
43:00
Speaker 3: You can't even use that.
43:02
Speaker 1: We're just getting bent over and absolutely reamed, reamed by
43:06
Speaker 1: the easter bunny.
43:07
Speaker 2: It's like, have fun looking after your kids today, but
43:09
Speaker 2: we also need two hundred bucks for you to look
43:11
Speaker 2: after him.
43:11
Speaker 3: As well before for no one's getting paid.
43:14
Speaker 2: No, So if they're okay, give us a day, give
43:17
Speaker 2: us a half day in loose somewhere, it's a half
43:19
Speaker 2: day where it's like, hey, these public holidays. In next
43:22
Speaker 2: month's bill, you'll get deducted to a half day, right
43:27
Speaker 2: because you paid. I'd be happy with that, Thankfully. I'm
43:30
Speaker 2: out of that phase now. But I know there's parents
43:32
Speaker 2: out there that would much rather work on that Friday
43:35
Speaker 2: to get paid the money and have their kid in daycare.
43:39
Speaker 2: But no, they get reamed twice twice, they have to
43:42
Speaker 2: pay daycare feed and they don't get paid work okay
43:45
Speaker 2: three times, They're still going to look after their kids
43:47
Speaker 2: they really really wanted.
43:48
Speaker 1: Also, can I just add to that, Celeste, if I
43:51
Speaker 1: may not to hijack your pair rant, but just to
43:53
Speaker 1: add a bit of icing on top the daycares that
43:56
Speaker 1: get annoyed when you don't tell them in advance about
43:59
Speaker 1: the holiday as you're taking It's like, what does it
44:02
Speaker 1: matter you Still I'm still getting charged for the day.
44:04
Speaker 1: So whether I tell you a month out, a week out,
44:06
Speaker 1: the day before makes no fucking difference.
44:08
Speaker 2: It's because they can slide a casually in and make
44:10
Speaker 2: double the cab.
44:11
Speaker 3: Actually but totally.
44:12
Speaker 1: But if you're going to get annoyed and be like, hey,
44:13
Speaker 1: can you just give us the heads up, well, yeah,
44:15
Speaker 1: reinbirthy for the fact that you're making more money on
44:18
Speaker 1: the days that I can't be there, Like, at a principle,
44:21
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you at all until ten
44:24
Speaker 1: o'clock you out.
44:25
Speaker 2: On that money or because you got pissed off with
44:27
Speaker 2: me for whatever. And look, I know what's going to
44:30
Speaker 2: happen here. There's going to be people that are going
44:31
Speaker 2: to come at us now and to be like, well
44:33
Speaker 2: you had the kids. Wait, you don't have fucking kids.
44:36
Speaker 2: You don't understand.
44:37
Speaker 3: Come at me, bro, come at me. I'm here ready.
44:40
Speaker 2: Every dollar count, especially at the moment with cost of living,
44:43
Speaker 2: there's a war and you've still got to take my
44:46
Speaker 2: two hundred bucks for a day that no work is
44:49
Speaker 2: getting done whatsoever on site.
44:52
Speaker 3: Very good.
44:52
Speaker 2: I think it's ridiculous and just offer the hey, you
44:56
Speaker 2: are being charged for this day because admin wise it
44:58
Speaker 2: is probably going to be much easier to let it roll.
45:00
Speaker 2: But next month there's a half day discount on one
45:04
Speaker 2: of the days that you'll we reflected in the invoice.
45:07
Speaker 2: I remember April going head to head with the director
45:10
Speaker 2: of the of the thing all the time to watch that,
45:13
Speaker 2: because I feel she felt like the invoices were so
45:16
Speaker 2: scattered and so all over the place, and it's like,
45:19
Speaker 2: why is it so all over the place? And they
45:21
Speaker 2: manipulate it to make it work for them, not the
45:23
Speaker 2: teachers who get absolutely reamed as well by having to
45:26
Speaker 2: work all these hours with a bunch of fucking kids
45:28
Speaker 2: and are understaffed. But then old mate who owns the place.
45:31
Speaker 3: Doesn't care about the kids.
45:32
Speaker 2: It's just laughing it up and it's ferrari.
45:35
Speaker 1: Just yeah, two things here, Either we start a daycare
45:39
Speaker 1: or you run for prime minister.
45:41
Speaker 2: I would go with neither of those options. Thank you.
45:44
Speaker 1: Just let it Marrnate, honestly, don't need a knee jerk reaction.
45:47
Speaker 1: The Endnope, ash the fact that the house giving around
45:50
Speaker 1: for three quarters of this episode.
45:52
Speaker 2: See, we do need another episode.
45:53
Speaker 3: I know, I know.
45:55
Speaker 1: Housekeeping is just I love it personally, it's out of control.
45:59
Speaker 1: It's it's like a vine that it's a broken villia
46:02
Speaker 1: that we're like, that's a cool plants at a broken villia.
46:04
Speaker 2: We don't even announce howsk we announced that we're out
46:06
Speaker 2: of it.
46:08
Speaker 3: The arrogance now of us.
46:10
Speaker 2: Assumption is just starts with housekeeping.
46:12
Speaker 3: Sorry, sorry guys, but quickly time for.
46:14
Speaker 2: This now you need us moll than ever.
46:18
Speaker 5: Know that we still have each other.
46:20
Speaker 2: You can send sure doting dilemma. You can send dilemma.
46:26
Speaker 1: Hella Ether and doting dilemma. Emma in the Facebook group
46:30
Speaker 1: has asked, what's the deal sorry, with bucket money?
46:34
Speaker 2: What's the deal with bucket money? Is it in your pocket?
46:39
Speaker 2: What if it's on the bend.
46:41
Speaker 5: There's no bucket money.
46:42
Speaker 3: It was on the bend, She said, very good, it's
46:46
Speaker 3: wallet money. Those are wondering. That's Jerry Seinfeld. He was
46:49
Speaker 3: just he's just left.
46:51
Speaker 1: My eldest is almost five, and I want to start
46:53
Speaker 1: teaching him about the value of money. I'm thinking two
46:56
Speaker 1: dollars for the school canteen each week is automatic. But
46:59
Speaker 1: money for the money box should require some household jobs,
47:03
Speaker 1: and some things are just expected, right, like cleaning up
47:06
Speaker 1: toys and maybe sitting at the table for dinner. Oh geez,
47:09
Speaker 1: what is everyone else doing? Ash, what are you doing
47:11
Speaker 1: in your household?
47:12
Speaker 3: Pocket?
47:12
Speaker 2: Money is not prevalent at this point. I think putting
47:15
Speaker 2: your toys away, just do it. You're not getting rewarded
47:17
Speaker 2: for that.
47:18
Speaker 3: Yep.
47:18
Speaker 2: Either you do it or I do it, and I'm
47:20
Speaker 2: not getting rewarded. If anything, I'm being punished.
47:23
Speaker 1: It's like brushing I'd say, like putting the toys where
47:25
Speaker 1: it's like brushing your teeth before bed.
47:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, just pay for that. If you're going to play
47:28
Speaker 2: with something else, put away what you did to start with.
47:30
Speaker 2: You're not getting rewarded for that, full stop. But sometimes
47:33
Speaker 2: I'll go to oscar. I'll be like, hey, I go
47:35
Speaker 2: to clean mummy's car. Can you just come down and
47:37
Speaker 2: give me a hand. There's a dollar in it for you.
47:38
Speaker 2: It's pretty loose on the amount. If I can get
47:41
Speaker 2: away with less, I will. The good thing is the
47:43
Speaker 2: fifty cent coin is bigger than all the other coins,
47:46
Speaker 2: so I play on that fact where I'm like, this
47:49
Speaker 2: big coin could be yours.
47:50
Speaker 1: Sometimes Lola is like she found like a couple of
47:53
Speaker 1: gold coins and she's like, what can I buy with this?
47:55
Speaker 1: And I was like, like a chocolate milk, But she's.
47:58
Speaker 2: Like that's exciting.
47:59
Speaker 3: She's like a doll house. Yeah, can I get like
48:01
Speaker 3: some need new dress and.
48:03
Speaker 2: I'm going on a shopping spring.
48:06
Speaker 1: That we used to in our household have a little
48:09
Speaker 1: job's chart, so it would change on rotation.
48:12
Speaker 3: So there's five kids.
48:13
Speaker 1: Sometimes you would get like if they clean the kitchen
48:16
Speaker 1: after dinner, like do the dishwasher, do all the washing up.
48:18
Speaker 1: Other times you'd be on bathroom judies. You'd have to
48:21
Speaker 1: on the weekends do a full clean of all the
48:22
Speaker 1: bathrooms in the house.
48:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's a reward on that?
48:25
Speaker 1: I think I used to get like a fiver, I
48:28
Speaker 1: think for those jobs. And I was the one who
48:32
Speaker 1: would hold onto my money. My older brother would just
48:35
Speaker 1: spend it in a heartbeat. I would sometimes steal money
48:38
Speaker 1: from others. Very good life lessons.
48:41
Speaker 3: I don't remember.
48:42
Speaker 2: Cool mom, Oh, here we go. Don't tell her anything
48:45
Speaker 2: I said about She.
48:47
Speaker 1: Never picks up the phone up. She's on her phone
48:49
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. She watches Instagram.
48:52
Speaker 3: Ha Hawaii Hawai, Nana.

Speaker 3: Are you fucking sorry?
49:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to Similar first, then I'm going to Singapore.
49:25
Speaker 2: I'm doing it all. Singapore is nice, is it? It's clean?
49:29
Speaker 2: And yeah, I like Singapore. Actually, Chinatown is great. That's confusing.
49:35
Speaker 3: Why are you going to Chinatown and Singapore?
49:37
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know, but it's good, good markets.
49:40
Speaker 1: Hey, hey Nana, sorry nah.
49:43
Speaker 3: Quick question? Do you remember that's okay?
49:45
Speaker 2: I will come on a cruise. Yes, well I've seen
49:48
Speaker 2: you on a cruise. You enjoy yourself way too much.
49:51
Speaker 1: Question is do you remember when we were growing up
49:53
Speaker 1: we had chores to do, like I'd clean the toilets
49:57
Speaker 1: and we'd do weeding in the backyard.
49:59
Speaker 2: Yeah.
50:00
Speaker 1: Thing in mind, this is back in the nineties. But
50:01
Speaker 1: how much did I make as pocket money. It wasn't
50:06
Speaker 1: a lot. We had the option of taking like four dollars,
50:14
Speaker 1: or you could go to the cinema.
50:16
Speaker 2: Oh had options, had options. I had options, And if
50:21
Speaker 2: you took nothing for a month, then we would go
50:25
Speaker 2: to somewhere like long Pine with the koalas and the
50:28
Speaker 2: kangaroos and all of that.
50:30
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what would I normally go for?
50:33
Speaker 6: Oh?
50:33
Speaker 2: All of you kind of went for the day out.
50:36
Speaker 2: I mean I was going to give you a day
50:38
Speaker 2: out of me now and again. Anyway she swindled.
50:43
Speaker 3: I was also.
50:45
Speaker 5: I was.
50:46
Speaker 1: I was stealing money as well.
50:48
Speaker 2: I know the interest is on that money she owes you.
50:51
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
50:52
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, Nana.
50:53
Speaker 2: That's all bye, Miche.
50:56
Speaker 3: She was going to cruise, so bad.
50:58
Speaker 2: Good news is I'm going to take.
51:01
Speaker 6: Vig.
51:01
Speaker 3: What are you with Louis?
51:02
Speaker 6: Well, now he's at school. He's like in the whole
51:04
Speaker 6: canteen economy, so he's like very money focused and money driven.
51:09
Speaker 6: So I've started giving him twenty cents a day because
51:12
Speaker 6: the morning's are awful to get his shoes and socks on,
51:15
Speaker 6: teeth brushed, and standing at the door with his bag. Yeah,
51:19
Speaker 6: twenty cents can buy him a breadstick. But I'm trying
51:22
Speaker 6: to teach him that if he puts it all together
51:24
Speaker 6: by the end of the week, he could get a
51:26
Speaker 6: fruit cup or a milk cup, which is his favorite thing.
51:29
Speaker 2: That's good.
51:29
Speaker 6: I like that, Yeah, but he never does. He always
51:31
Speaker 6: buys a Freds stick.
51:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough.
51:34
Speaker 1: He can't say no to the bread stick. I just
51:38
Speaker 1: the recess and he's like, dog.
51:41
Speaker 2: I need it, I need the redstick.
51:43
Speaker 6: I just can imagine him like going up to the
51:46
Speaker 6: canteen lady every day.
51:47
Speaker 2: I'm like, what can I get for this? And she's like,
51:49
Speaker 2: just a breast and he's like, she's like, if you
51:53
Speaker 2: save it up this week.
51:56
Speaker 1: He's going to say, but he's like, just give you
51:59
Speaker 1: a pot, a noodle, little juice box, give me a
52:02
Speaker 1: little quench icy pole, Like I think this will cover everything.
52:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like my change in once.
52:10
Speaker 6: Yeah.
52:10
Speaker 2: I only really remember getting pocket money, like when I
