- 0:45Speaker 3: Although we've been doing hack or that.

- 0:54Speaker 2: social media. Perfect a few things to talk about.
- 0:59Speaker 3: There's a lot going on.

- 1:24Speaker 3: Get your attention?
- 1:25Speaker 1: That loaded up? Ready to go? Didn't you.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I could walk in here with the missing arm and
- 1:28Speaker 2: you'd be good to see that.
- 1:29Speaker 3: I'd be like, he's armless, that guy, Hey, bad jack.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I'm not even going to give you a sympathy laugh.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I was.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I was walking down the hallway and I turned over
- 1:43Speaker 2: my shoulder, looked behind me, and then as I went
- 1:47Speaker 2: to then look forward again. As I was still.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Moving forward, progressing forward, but dressing forward, I was mid stride.
- 1:55Speaker 2: I just almost like I was kicking a football to
- 1:58Speaker 2: win the match winning goal with that type of force,
- 2:02Speaker 2: and then hit the corner of a wall on my
- 2:06Speaker 2: little toe.
- 2:07Speaker 1: It was like what I did it? I did it
- 2:08Speaker 1: in the kitchen and the toe was facing the other way.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, you want to see it?
- 2:12Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, holy shit, Oh my god, let me get
- 2:19Speaker 1: at this angle of it.
- 2:21Speaker 2: That is.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 2:26Speaker 2: It was like a little potato my fetteral fluffy for
- 2:30Speaker 2: my socks. It looks like a little fluffy potato bit
- 2:34Speaker 2: content for anyone wondering. Yeah, tune in. Also, dirty socks?
- 2:38Speaker 2: How much would I pay for them? Did you see
- 2:40Speaker 2: that thing?
- 2:40Speaker 1: On?
- 2:40Speaker 3: So just off topic, I don't know if.
- 2:43Speaker 2: You well, just give me the fucking sympathy for five minutes.
- 2:46Speaker 2: I've got a broken toe. It's just a little toe,
- 2:49Speaker 2: just a little toe.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I can't even walk right now. There was a lady
- 2:52Speaker 1: who sold her sold her socks, right but the guy's request.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I just assumed it was a guy. A sock, fut
- 2:58Speaker 1: of lollies and go for a run and then in
- 3:00Speaker 1: the lollies.
- 3:01Speaker 2: If that's what you're into, Good on you. Good on
- 3:05Speaker 2: you for not being locking up.
- 3:07Speaker 3: That's fucking weird. That's not for me.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Sorry about your toe that do you know what the
- 3:12Speaker 1: shit thing about that toe is is? Because it's such
- 3:15Speaker 1: a useless toe. It does keep you balanced, but it
- 3:19Speaker 1: also deviates so easy, so like for you to actually
- 3:22Speaker 1: mend that, you're going to have to attach it, like
- 3:25Speaker 1: with some tape.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Do you reckon? I tape it to the other one.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Oh yeah, otherwise it'll hurt for way longer.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Because even like I was, I was kneeling down to
- 3:33Speaker 2: get the bottom items of the dishwasher out, and as
- 3:36Speaker 2: I was kneeling, squatting down on the tip of my
- 3:39Speaker 2: toes and then just you know, you don't realize how
- 3:41Speaker 2: much keeps you in balance.
- 3:44Speaker 1: It does, so I would I would tape it. I
- 3:46Speaker 1: remember when I did mine and it went out that way,
- 3:50Speaker 1: the toe desiccated and I had to break and I
- 3:52Speaker 1: broke it and I had to bring it back.
- 3:54Speaker 2: How long are we talking? And I did recovery.
- 3:56Speaker 1: It was ages because I didn't tape it the first time,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and I thought it was sweet. And then I went
- 4:00Speaker 1: surfing and the water deviated it back out, so I
- 4:04Speaker 1: would just a little bit of tape. Just call a
- 4:08Speaker 1: real doctor. They hate us. They're like, yeah, but bunny tooth.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Picker out it and strap it, keep it straight. It's
- 4:16Speaker 1: like a stint or whatever they call it.
- 4:17Speaker 2: In the scheme of injuries.
- 4:20Speaker 3: It's minimal, but it's so annoying.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I did have a moment where I was putting out
- 4:23Speaker 2: the washing and I was like, why, man, what have
- 4:27Speaker 2: I done to deserve this. I'm a good guy, and
- 4:33Speaker 2: I start to give myself a bit of it's so
- 4:36Speaker 2: painful too.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Anything with your toes is really Macon dropped a phone
- 4:41Speaker 1: like an iPhone on her toe yesterday and she was
- 4:43Speaker 1: like like the full big, the big deep in how
- 4:52Speaker 1: you like breathe?
- 4:53Speaker 3: And then as she did that, I dropped a chopping
- 4:55Speaker 3: board on mine, like.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Immediately dropped it on both on the ground. That's because
- 5:03Speaker 1: we were moving things around. Matthew. As you've probably realized,
- 5:08Speaker 1: we're in a different location. I know, I'm staring out
- 5:10Speaker 1: to your paddock and it's beautiful.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Jeez, it feels like we're in the country a little
- 5:15Speaker 3: bit now, we're not the.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Journey to get here well weeks ash. For those who
- 5:22Speaker 2: were followed on.
- 5:22Speaker 1: No, you got evictied by the fucking dogshit landlord. Do
- 5:26Speaker 1: you know actually, just quickly before we progress, please, he's
- 5:31Speaker 1: put the place back on for rent.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Apply for it.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Nah, so you know what he's done. So just to
- 5:38Speaker 1: recap people, we got kicked out because of a rotten beam.
- 5:41Speaker 1: I complained about it, and he terminated our contract.
- 5:44Speaker 3: That's what he did.
- 5:45Speaker 1: And he was like, look, I've had this place for
- 5:48Speaker 1: so long, I'm going to sell it.
- 5:49Speaker 2: How many times did you complain about something that needed
- 5:52Speaker 2: to be fixed? With that a weekly monthly thing.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Or it was like three months the maintenance go in
- 5:57Speaker 1: the complex said, look, get fixed.
- 5:59Speaker 3: This is going to fallen on your kid.
- 6:00Speaker 2: How many other things are we talking about? Lights, appliance
- 6:04Speaker 2: is breaking.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Nothing.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Only other thing I complained about in that place that
- 6:08Speaker 1: he rectified was the smooth edge on the carpet was
- 6:11Speaker 1: poking through and Oscar cut his foot on it. Fair,
- 6:14Speaker 1: very fair, and he came and he and he hammered
- 6:16Speaker 1: it back down and fixed that.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Fine, don't care how you fix it, bro, just fix it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: I think one of the cupboards was like fuck once
- 6:22Speaker 1: he came out and fix that really easy. If you're
- 6:25Speaker 1: going to be a homeowner and down do the maintenance
- 6:27Speaker 1: on there and rent it out, they're minor things you've
- 6:31Speaker 1: got that can't be inconvenience. The inconvenience for this was
- 6:34Speaker 1: it was a beam that was rotten and going to
- 6:37Speaker 1: fall on a small child. So weeks had gone by
- 6:40Speaker 1: me saying, hey, can we when are you going to
- 6:42Speaker 1: get this fixed? And then he said here's a letter
- 6:45Speaker 1: of renewal and we said we're not signing it until
- 6:47Speaker 1: you just get this fixed. And then he terminated the contract,
- 6:50Speaker 1: very fair. Terminated the least which they're actually bringing a
- 6:53Speaker 1: law out now which we've missed that prevents homeowners from
- 6:57Speaker 1: doing that.
- 6:58Speaker 2: What wonker, Oh fucking ass, how much more expensive is it? Has?
- 7:02Speaker 2: He jacked the.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Prices more more so he split the top bedroom into
- 7:07Speaker 1: so he's cut the bedroom in half and out's a
- 7:09Speaker 1: three better. It was a big bedroom and went up
- 7:12Speaker 1: to two hundred and eighty bus s put that in two.
- 7:14Speaker 1: He replaced the being and he replaced them. Yeah, he
- 7:16Speaker 1: replaced the being the week I was moving out. But
- 7:19Speaker 1: guess what he replaced it with timber that again is
- 7:22Speaker 1: not suitable for outdoor use.
- 7:24Speaker 2: And for those of you wondering that timber.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Is laminated vinear.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Ash Wicks timber whisperer.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Anyway, anyway, mate, God speed to you, mate. But you
- 7:36Speaker 1: know what, one day you get struck by lightning. But

- 7:46Speaker 1: That's what it's like, moving with two small children.
- 7:49Speaker 2: What a way to go?
- 7:50Speaker 3: What a way to go? Imagine that at your funeral
- 7:53Speaker 3: Oscar being able.
- 7:54Speaker 1: To sell his friends.
- 7:54Speaker 3: My dad died. He was struck by lightning, his feet
- 7:56Speaker 3: blew out. There was a whole scene.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Man. But the cafe across the road has said to me,
- 8:02Speaker 1: he's not welcome here anymore.
- 8:04Speaker 3: So when he does go to buy coffee across the road, but.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Uncle Pete, it's going to be like, get the fuck out.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Of here, I reckon Pete's really going to turn away money.
- 8:13Speaker 1: He's crazy.

- 8:41Speaker 1: I've done Okay, you want some you're asking me for sympathy.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Here's a bit of sympathy that I'm going to get
- 8:47Speaker 1: from you and from all the listeners. I've just had
- 8:50Speaker 1: to move two times in a month with two kids.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Can I pull you up on something? Yeah, you've done
- 8:59Speaker 2: it wrong? Why you've done it wrong? How okay? If

- 9:53Speaker 1: and it's like I cannot do that. I cannot physically
- 9:55Speaker 1: do that, but we will moved. It's not the physical

- 15:09Speaker 1: coming down the driveway in reverse because you can't go
- 15:12Speaker 1: forward down that thing.
- 15:13Speaker 2: You don't want to reverse up that.
- 15:15Speaker 3: It's like a theme park right out there.
- 15:17Speaker 2: And people were lined up asking me how much it
- 15:20Speaker 2: was to go on the driveway. I was like, I
- 15:21Speaker 2: don't know.
- 15:23Speaker 1: They sold out. Apparently it's exhilarating. Anyway, I've reversed down
- 15:29Speaker 1: a few times and it does well. I'll take you
- 15:32Speaker 1: on a trip. It really makes your stomach. O. I
- 15:37Speaker 1: shouldn't be in this position. It's quite seep, and I'm

- 15:45Speaker 1: I can hear the car just like you come just
- 15:49Speaker 1: halfway down the driveway, but way too close to the
- 15:52Speaker 1: new fence that's there separating us from the neighbors. And
- 15:56Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit, walk out, I'm like. And
- 15:59Speaker 1: it's all also quite mossy the driveway, so once she
- 16:03Speaker 1: try and go from without a runner, you're like spinning.
- 16:07Speaker 2: The car's like, I got nothing left in me.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I was at the top and I'm like, I'm like,
- 16:11Speaker 1: look at me, look at me, look at me. Okay,
- 16:14Speaker 1: and then okay, looking at me. And then she's tried
- 16:18Speaker 1: to come I said, you need to come up, and
- 16:20Speaker 1: you're halfway up, starts wheel spinning.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Why didn't you jump into the car?
- 16:24Speaker 1: I couldn't get in.
- 16:25Speaker 3: She's up against it so hard that I could not.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Get in the car. She was trapped anyway. I'm like,
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm like, go forward. She's going forward, and the wheels
- 16:38Speaker 1: start to spin and the car starts to veer closer
- 16:41Speaker 1: to the edge of the fans. So eventually, like I've
- 16:44Speaker 1: managed to like be like, okay, just just bits and
- 16:47Speaker 1: she's like, what about this? I'm just like, concentrate on me.
- 16:51Speaker 2: I was listening to this story right now. Is that
- 16:56Speaker 2: how it happened?
- 17:02Speaker 3: But she's also so she's gone done a big k
- 17:05Speaker 3: Mart shot.
- 17:05Speaker 1: So I've managed to get her out of a sticky situation.
- 17:08Speaker 1: But she was like, oh, what are we going to
- 17:09Speaker 1: do about this Tripay, there's nothing you can do about
- 17:11Speaker 1: You just got to learn to live with it, get
- 17:13Speaker 1: with it, because once you're at the bottom it's not
- 17:15Speaker 1: too bad. It's just that it's just the if you
- 17:20Speaker 1: miss it and miss the bag, you end up in
- 17:22Speaker 1: the paddock. There's not a lot between because there's no
- 17:26Speaker 1: fence there. There's not a lot between a slip of
- 17:30Speaker 1: the foot and in the paddic dangerous.
- 17:32Speaker 2: You know what you could have in the backyard by
- 17:34Speaker 2: the way as a slip slide. Yes, that toomy rocks
- 17:40Speaker 2: goat goat you could go back there.
- 17:43Speaker 3: I'm not getting a goat. Man.
- 17:44Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'm not getting a goat. You have
- 17:47Speaker 1: so much land, know you know how they say the
- 17:50Speaker 1: more land, the bigger the man. That's what I'm going.
- 17:55Speaker 3: But April's done.
- 17:56Speaker 1: It came out run. She's bought a bunch of stuff
- 18:00Speaker 1: in cleaning, a new toaster, which I said to you
- 18:02Speaker 1: before the toast doesn't work?
- 18:04Speaker 2: Does it work?
- 18:05Speaker 1: This is what's happened. I have unboxed toaster, put it
- 18:08Speaker 1: in the where the toast would go. I'm in bed
- 18:10Speaker 1: this morning. Okay, April's got up with the kids. They
- 18:13Speaker 1: want toast. She put the toaster on, turned around, the
- 18:17Speaker 1: toasts on fire, and I was.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Like, that's got a bad dwn.
- 18:23Speaker 1: And the kids have flipped out what's happened? And the
- 18:26Speaker 1: bottom of the toaster was a piece of cardboard and
- 18:29Speaker 1: she just got the toaster on and it was up
- 18:31Speaker 1: in flames, like immediately, and.
- 18:34Speaker 3: I've come out.
- 18:36Speaker 2: O the toaster.
- 18:40Speaker 1: And I'm like straight into the sink just it's unplugged, thankfully,
- 18:44Speaker 1: into the sink. Sink on Macy's Lost plot, Oscar's kind
- 18:48Speaker 1: of just like, what is happening. We're falling apart. We're
- 18:52Speaker 1: falling apart. So the toast is out of the front,
- 18:54Speaker 1: drying out. They're always getting it.
- 18:57Speaker 2: We get a new toaster. Well, you're hear. The house
- 18:59Speaker 2: is beautiful.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I'm very happy with it. We were excited to move
- 19:03Speaker 3: in here.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Kids won't know themselves and they start playing in the backyard.
- 19:06Speaker 1: And it's a friend of our house. So there's no ship, landlord.
- 19:10Speaker 1: They were here on Sunday when we left. They're great,
- 19:12Speaker 1: great people, great little house. Things always work out, Yeah,
- 19:14Speaker 1: worked out, worked out for the best.
- 19:18Speaker 2: Hey, question for you, Yeah, how was it when you
- 19:22Speaker 2: went to the football with Oscar? Like how did he
- 19:25Speaker 2: find the game? Uh? Mixed review.
- 19:29Speaker 1: I think like the anticipation and like we're going to
- 19:33Speaker 1: go watch football because he loves football. We're going to
- 19:36Speaker 1: watch it live. But TV is constant entertainment. Yeah, when
- 19:41Speaker 1: you're there, there's some waiting around, there's things that are
- 19:44Speaker 1: going on.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Also there's a big field and.
- 19:47Speaker 1: He's like a lot to look at. There's a lot. Yeah,
- 19:50Speaker 1: then the cheerlet has come out. Yeah, overall, he loves overall,
- 19:55Speaker 1: really loved it. Loved the fireworks because there's fireworks and
- 19:58Speaker 1: some flames and stuff.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Flames are a winner, but overall really really loved it.
- 20:03Speaker 2: You make it look like it was a great experience,
- 20:06Speaker 2: like no isshes whatsoever. It was, And well, I decided
- 20:10Speaker 2: that it was time to introduce my girls to football
- 20:14Speaker 2: as well. Nral for those of you wondering, but also.
- 20:16Speaker 1: You took two kids. I only took one.
- 20:19Speaker 2: And I also with my sister who has three kids.
- 20:22Speaker 2: So we had ship five kids and two parents. No myself, Laura,
- 20:27Speaker 2: my mom, Laura's mom.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Oh you took the whole car.
- 20:31Speaker 3: I don't know it.
- 20:32Speaker 2: Which my mum and Laura's mom love them. They're they're
- 20:35Speaker 2: quite old. It's like having an extra two kids. We'd
- 20:38Speaker 2: get to our seats. We crossed the road and I
- 20:41Speaker 2: go fuck Way's Ellie and she'd be like, oh, She's like.
- 20:45Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't think there'd be this many people here.
- 20:48Speaker 2: But the kids were excited because obviously you're building up
- 20:50Speaker 2: to you know, like a few more sleeps. You got
- 20:53Speaker 2: them jerseys. Also great time to go to a football
- 20:55Speaker 2: match because end of season Merchan's half price.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Oh yeah that.
- 21:01Speaker 2: And as we're walking into the stadium, it just so
- 21:04Speaker 2: happened that before the game that we went to, it
- 21:07Speaker 2: was almost like it was a bit of a recruitment
- 21:10Speaker 2: drive to join the police force. Yeah, bear with me.
- 21:15Speaker 2: So they had on the field they had the police
- 21:17Speaker 2: marching band. Great that they had the Special Services guys
- 21:24Speaker 2: ab sailed down the side.
- 21:25Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Again kids love that. So you know, that was all
- 21:31Speaker 2: pre match and I was thinking, this is awesome.
- 21:34Speaker 1: You know, how good is this.
- 21:35Speaker 2: There's so much going on. The next part ash you
- 21:40Speaker 2: know police dogs, the German shepherds, the ones that will
- 21:44Speaker 2: rip your pieces. They did like a showcase of the
- 21:48Speaker 2: dogs and it was quite theatrical where they had these
- 21:53Speaker 2: like mock NRL fans who were on the field being
- 21:57Speaker 2: like rah, rowdy, rowdy, rowdy. They then had the police
- 22:01Speaker 2: officers holding the dog. They then let go of the
- 22:04Speaker 2: dog and the people who are pretending to be the
- 22:06Speaker 2: NL fans being too rounded. They did have the sleep,
- 22:10Speaker 2: but Marley and Lola are like, oh my god, dogs
- 22:12Speaker 2: are on the field.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Next thing, they're tearing people apart.
- 22:17Speaker 2: German shepherds are like, and these people are acting out
- 22:21Speaker 2: being attacked by the dogs.
- 22:23Speaker 3: Very impressive if you know what you're looking at.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but it's impressive.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Marley and Lola have only ever seen dogs as pets.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Not as you know.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't know that dogs are also to attack people,
- 22:36Speaker 2: and so Maley and Lola are hysterical being like, oh god,
- 22:41Speaker 2: you can stop. So no one's helping him, and I
- 22:44Speaker 2: was like close their eyes. They were petrified.
- 22:49Speaker 1: It's also like pretty red hot to do that with
- 22:51Speaker 1: a stadium full of people.
- 22:53Speaker 2: That part went on for like six minutes, just wrestling dog,
- 23:00Speaker 2: you bring his terms six German shepherds ripping people apart
- 23:03Speaker 2: on the field. It was like being at a gladiator match.
- 23:05Speaker 2: It was like killing them. So that part was a
- 23:09Speaker 2: bit of a nightmare.
- 23:10Speaker 1: I can imagine, Like, like I was saying, it's very
- 23:13Speaker 1: impressive what these dogs can do. It's impressive to you
- 23:17Speaker 1: and I because we know what's the circumstance.
- 23:19Speaker 3: But as a.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Three and a five year old, all you see is like,
- 23:23Speaker 1: that's a pretty dog.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Once you had to explain dogs, please they get the
- 23:30Speaker 2: bad guys.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Get the bad guys are there to fight for good?
- 23:33Speaker 1: Were they attacking like the mock NRL fans because it
- 23:36Speaker 1: was a Rooster's home game, right? Were they raiders? That
- 23:43Speaker 1: would have been confusing if they were.
- 23:44Speaker 2: So that part ended. The police leave the field, the
- 23:47Speaker 2: players come out. By then, Marley and Lowler have like
- 23:49Speaker 2: calmed down, and also as the players run out, they
- 23:52Speaker 2: have the fire.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love that.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Lola was like fuck yeah, little Paro.
- 23:58Speaker 3: She was just like, get me a match box. On
- 24:01Speaker 3: the way home.
- 24:01Speaker 2: And the game that we saw ash there were a
- 24:05Speaker 2: few injuries. To recall, there are a few injuries, and
- 24:09Speaker 2: I kind of forget that my kids have never really
- 24:12Speaker 2: watched a game on TV, like a full game, Like
- 24:14Speaker 2: they don't really understand like the concept of football is
- 24:17Speaker 2: completely foreign to them.
- 24:19Speaker 3: The competition of it all.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Yeah, they just see there's a bunch of guys running
- 24:23Speaker 1: around on the field.
- 24:24Speaker 2: But also I kind of realize it's quite violent.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah for a kid, and also the people in
- 24:32Speaker 1: the crowd are quite drunk. Yes, weird.
- 24:34Speaker 2: When you book your tickets, you can there's designated zones
- 24:37Speaker 2: for like the die hard Roosters fans, like diehard Raiders fans,
- 24:42Speaker 2: and I made sure I didn't like sit in the
- 24:44Speaker 2: heart of like.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Yeah, there's also like alcohol free zones and like we're kids, yeah,
- 24:48Speaker 1: and the mascots usually favor that area because it's the
- 24:52Speaker 1: kids love it when like the Eagle comes over or
- 24:54Speaker 1: the rooster it.
- 24:56Speaker 2: We were sitting next to I thought I booked it
- 24:58Speaker 2: quite far away, but we were sitting right on the
- 25:01Speaker 2: cusp of the Raiders fans and the die hard Raiders fans,
- 25:04Speaker 2: the ones who travel to thegether.
- 25:06Speaker 1: I don't want to profile people from Canberra or anything,
- 25:11Speaker 1: but they.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Were actually they work quite very very passionate, very passionate.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Let's go passionate.
- 25:16Speaker 2: They're wearing the Viking hats, they have the big.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Raiders a full center of teeth inside.
- 25:22Speaker 2: And it was pretty loud, pretty loud, and Lola was
- 25:26Speaker 2: petrified of the Vikings, who were always like, right.
- 25:30Speaker 1: Did they do the Viking clap? It's pretty cool.
- 25:32Speaker 2: But then every time there was an injury, which there
- 25:35Speaker 2: were a few, and these injuries are where they had
- 25:37Speaker 2: to like a player hat. He could even walk off
- 25:39Speaker 2: the field because he was so badly hurt. Marley and
- 25:42Speaker 2: Lola again were like.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, sympathy.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Yeah, why are they hurting each other?
- 25:48Speaker 1: Why are they booing him? As well?
- 25:50Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Then they clap when he's coming off. They're like, clap, freeze,
- 25:55Speaker 3: he's injured, dude.
- 25:56Speaker 2: They were like this is awful.
- 25:58Speaker 3: It's a mixed e motion, yeah.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Mixed emotions. And then as well halftime, Lola was like
- 26:05Speaker 2: really nervous and I was like, I was like, what's wrong?
- 26:07Speaker 2: But she was like I don't want to be here?
- 26:09Speaker 3: Oh? And I was like what's wrong?
- 26:11Speaker 2: And she goes, I don't want to play on the
- 26:13Speaker 2: field And I was like, what do you mean playing
- 26:15Speaker 2: on the field. We're not know where. We're waiting here.
- 26:18Speaker 2: She was wearing a rooster and she thought she was
- 26:23Speaker 2: going to go on.
- 26:24Speaker 1: She's like, don't make me go and play, Daddy God
- 26:27Speaker 1: bless the Paul.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Like, you're not gonna play. We're just sitting here watching
- 26:32Speaker 2: and she was.
- 26:32Speaker 3: Like, oh, I just see the confusion on her face,
- 26:35Speaker 3: like am I up?
- 26:35Speaker 2: Negs? I didn't really manage their expectations.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Because a lot of the time you also do that
- 26:42Speaker 1: I'm going to go to the football, like we're not
- 26:44Speaker 1: going to We're not going to go and watch the football,
- 26:46Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You don't we're gonna go
- 26:48Speaker 1: to the footy because you just think it's just normal
- 26:49Speaker 1: for your part. But I can see the confusion that
- 26:52Speaker 1: kids take things so literally. Oh yeah, it's like just
- 26:55Speaker 1: because there's that there's that ongoing joke about why men
- 26:58Speaker 1: still wear jerseys, like because we could get called in
- 27:00Speaker 1: at any stage. I just don't know. Maybe Ricky Steel
- 27:04Speaker 1: to look up and go, you you've got to raid
- 27:07Speaker 1: his jersey on. You're on the field, and these kids
- 27:10Speaker 1: are probably thinking, Daddy's dressed us up to play.
- 27:13Speaker 3: We've just watched a dog getting mauled wearing this jersey.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Three players been stretched off, three.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Players getting carried off, booed and yelled at minute, and
- 27:23Speaker 1: it's like it's a big break.
- 27:25Speaker 3: So it must be like, well they're done, Yeah, we
- 27:28Speaker 3: need to.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Field the game.
- 27:32Speaker 1: I feel sorry for that.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Also, good for them to experience some real colorful language.
- 27:37Speaker 2: Likely they spend a lot of time with you ash
- 27:39Speaker 2: they do get used to a lot of swearing.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Don't blame me for that.
- 27:41Speaker 2: But like every tackle, people next to us.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Will like rippers fucking off.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like daddy, what did he say?
- 27:48Speaker 3: It's funny when I take Oscar.
- 27:50Speaker 1: He's just so used to this doesn't even I don't
- 27:52Speaker 1: really have a lot of rules my use about swearing.
- 27:54Speaker 1: I'm like pretty liberal with you're swearing. I am.
- 27:57Speaker 2: That's why I like you.
- 27:58Speaker 1: I am. But also Oscar knows what are the bad
- 28:00Speaker 1: ones and he never like I never catch him really
- 28:02Speaker 1: rarely catch him like whipping it out at someone. But
- 28:06Speaker 1: in that environment, every second word is every second word.
- 28:10Speaker 1: And also as the game goes on, people get more
- 28:13Speaker 1: and more rowdy because they're pissed.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Yeah, a few more drinks.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Yeah, And like I can imagine Marley and Lolace in that.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Whenever I'm at your house, I'm like that ship. They're like,
- 28:23Speaker 1: naughty word. They must have been exhausted.
- 28:26Speaker 2: They were like, Daddy, why aren't you why aren't you
- 28:28Speaker 2: telling off these men around you? These vikings. I was
- 28:30Speaker 2: going to get me into a funk. I saw that
- 28:35Speaker 2: you they had some food was a bit of a
- 28:38Speaker 2: nightmare after the game. Game started at four, so it
- 28:40Speaker 2: finishes at like five twenty you got like, you know,
- 28:44Speaker 2: twenty thirty thousand people leaving the stadium. It's pretty, you
- 28:46Speaker 2: know pretty child was Alion Stadium.
- 28:49Speaker 3: So your places.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a new stadium, stadium, it's like underground.
- 28:55Speaker 2: And then it's very lovely, beautif never been beautiful stadium. Atch.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I've walked past it. I highly recommend it. But afterwards
- 29:02Speaker 2: we thought, you know'll be a nice way to top
- 29:04Speaker 2: this off. We'll get the bus back to Bondai and
- 29:06Speaker 2: then we'll go to the RSL and then we'll get
- 29:09Speaker 2: all the kids fed and then go home. Bus ended
- 29:12Speaker 2: up taking a bloody long time, bloody long time, and
- 29:16Speaker 2: Laura was like, don't worry. I've called the RSL. There's
- 29:19Speaker 2: a lot of us here. I booked a table for
- 29:21Speaker 2: all of us, so don't worry. We had to get
- 29:24Speaker 2: from the bus. We all walked to the RSL at Icebergs.
- 29:29Speaker 2: There's two RSLs and BONDI there's North bond there's Icebergs IRSL.
- 29:34Speaker 2: So we walked to Icebergs RSL doors shut like oh
- 29:39Speaker 2: fuck where they're like trying to call the RSL, being
- 29:42Speaker 2: like maybe the door's broken. All the kids at this
- 29:44Speaker 2: point it's now seven o'clock. Kids are hungry, kids.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Are Nana's galling off.
- 29:50Speaker 2: N we lost Nana. Yeah, she's still on the bus somewhere.
- 29:52Speaker 1: I just needs one one.
- 29:54Speaker 2: She's in the three three three, who knows where that
- 29:55Speaker 2: is now? And Laura's booked the wrong RSLH classic mix up.
- 30:01Speaker 2: And so then at this point the kids turn. So
- 30:03Speaker 2: it was a shame to end on a sour night
- 30:06Speaker 2: because then we can't get because the kids are too small.
- 30:08Speaker 2: I have to call the taxi. Can't get a taxi
- 30:10Speaker 2: takes bloody ages ash, So we learned some.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Valuable lessons along the way.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Don't try and do dinner after the game. Absolutely, just
- 30:18Speaker 2: get him home. Just get him home, Yeah, get him high.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Like like I've only ever taken just Oscar and I.
- 30:24Speaker 1: So it's like it's just real easy. It's me and him.
- 30:27Speaker 1: And he's quite like he'll just go along with whatever
- 30:29Speaker 1: as long as he's gone and some chippies like he can.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Forth state wherever.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I don't really care, Like you know a lot of
- 30:37Speaker 1: times like I'll go with a mate and it'll be me,
- 30:40Speaker 1: it'll be two parents and Oscar usually, but he's like
- 30:44Speaker 1: just with the boys, we'll go to the pub beforehand.
- 30:47Speaker 1: We'll just come home, get some backers on the way home, like,
- 30:49Speaker 1: and you know, he's a great day.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Don't try and pick one activity. Don't try and double up.
- 30:55Speaker 2: I never double up on an activity. I did, and
- 30:57Speaker 2: I learned that lesson. Yeah, it's like on the way home,
- 30:59Speaker 2: we should stop. Nope, no, no, no, no no, get
- 31:02Speaker 2: them home.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Then we can maybe do the other activity tomorrow got too.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Big for my boots. Ash we should jump into lies.
- 31:09Speaker 3: Oh, I love it. Let's do it.
- 31:10Speaker 2: Do you want to go first, mate.

- 31:29Speaker 1: And sure your kids won't bother you by telling them
- 31:32Speaker 1: to wake you up at an hour so we can
- 31:34Speaker 1: start cleaning. They'll do anything to avoid waking you up.
- 31:39Speaker 2: You could tell your kids will move house again.
- 31:42Speaker 1: We could threaten them with chores. Guys, just wake me up.
- 31:46Speaker 1: That's a good one in the morning. I reckon, like
- 31:49Speaker 1: I was saying, Macy's been sick, so she got up
- 31:51Speaker 1: last night and she was like, come get up.
- 31:54Speaker 3: I'm like, it's dark. It's midnight. Bro.
- 31:57Speaker 1: I should have been like, okay, I'll tell you what.
- 32:00Speaker 1: If I get up, We're.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Going to clean the whole house. That's what we're gonna do.
- 32:03Speaker 1: And Oscar hates he'd be like, my legs, hu, I'm
- 32:07Speaker 1: going to start doing that in the morning. So that's
- 32:09Speaker 1: very good.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Milleni, thank you, thank you. This one is from Jenne.
- 32:13Speaker 1: G Shit Jean Jean, Jeane Jenne. I'm going with Jenny Jacket.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Gnne. My nephew refused to vacuum, so I told him
- 32:29Speaker 2: the thing about the vacuum sucking. Hang on a second,
- 32:32Speaker 2: I told her.
- 32:34Speaker 1: About the vacuum. Just shut the door.
- 32:37Speaker 2: He's the vacuum sucking up ghosts. I said that vacuuming
- 32:43Speaker 2: kept houses from getting haunted. That's why haunted houses are
- 32:47Speaker 2: so dusty. Ten years later, he is still a neat freak,
- 32:51Speaker 2: and I feel partly responsible.
- 32:53Speaker 1: I bet you that's not the only thing he's doing
- 32:55Speaker 1: with the vacuum. Ash sucks up all right, yeah.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Mind out of the gutter.
- 33:07Speaker 1: It also sucks up seamen. For any of those you
- 33:09Speaker 1: didn't understand the joke there.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Is has anyone actually used a vacuum to give themselves like, yeah,
- 33:16Speaker 2: a lock blowjob?
- 33:17Speaker 1: Yeah, there is.
- 33:19Speaker 3: I mean I don't know, have you No.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Surely that's not going to feel nice. Stop winking at me.
- 33:26Speaker 2: A vacuum.
- 33:27Speaker 3: I think it's just like a joke, isn't it. You
- 33:31Speaker 3: tell me bro's too thick.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Oh god, if you're out there, if you if you're
- 33:37Speaker 2: a dad or non dad, and you've used a vacuum
- 33:39Speaker 2: to get off to ejaculate in whilst the vacuum has
- 33:42Speaker 2: been on, please because also you're going to ruin the
- 33:44Speaker 2: vacuum plan.
- 33:45Speaker 3: Yeah, please send a message to attention Jess because she's
- 33:50Speaker 3: she's going to love that. She's gonna love that.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Questions, questions, questions, Now I have a well usually this
- 33:57Speaker 1: is for lists of questions. You don't mind if I
- 33:59Speaker 1: go first? I mean, my uncle beat Mine's from me.
- 34:02Speaker 1: It's personal. It's a personalized question from me. I love that.
- 34:06Speaker 2: I love that, and I would be on it if
- 34:08Speaker 2: you went first.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Ash So where this question came from came from?
- 34:12Speaker 3: Oscars developed a fear.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Oh my god, what is it?
- 34:16Speaker 1: Now? When he's left alone in any circumstances, he's going
- 34:20Speaker 1: to get taken.
- 34:21Speaker 2: I didn't mean to take a child like that.
- 34:23Speaker 3: This is the problem.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I think he thinks he's gonna get taken, so I can't,
- 34:28Speaker 1: for example, I can't leave him in any situation whatsoever
- 34:33Speaker 1: for a second without him. So what happened was I
- 34:36Speaker 1: went to the drive through bottle shop really quickly.
- 34:38Speaker 3: On the way home. He's in the back.
- 34:40Speaker 1: I've pulled right up, his windows down, the doors are
- 34:43Speaker 1: right there, so it's like the car's still on, his
- 34:47Speaker 1: music playing or whatever. I walk in to get a
- 34:51Speaker 1: six pack of stone Woods Cheeky, cheeky and beautiful drink
- 34:56Speaker 1: by actually and he this, And I was like, what what?
- 35:02Speaker 1: And he's unbuckled himself. He's in the wind out the window.
- 35:05Speaker 1: What the fuck are you doing? And he was like
- 35:08Speaker 1: I I was worried I was going to get taken.
- 35:10Speaker 1: So he's developed this fear.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Where's that come from?
- 35:13Speaker 1: That he thinks that a stranger is going to take
- 35:15Speaker 1: him immediately? I don't know where it to come from.
- 35:20Speaker 1: But I was like, I must have just been in
- 35:22Speaker 1: this situation. Maybe there was some people, maybe he saw
- 35:24Speaker 1: a group of people.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Sometimes at daycare they do talk about a stranger danger
- 35:28Speaker 2: that they do introduce those topics.
- 35:30Speaker 3: So you meant to it's meant to be it's different now,
- 35:32Speaker 3: it's meant to be tricky people.
- 35:34Speaker 2: That's right, tricky people. Shout out to the tricky people
- 35:38Speaker 2: out there.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Tshout those tricky people.
- 35:40Speaker 3: But I was like, what the fuck?
- 35:42Speaker 1: What now?
- 35:44Speaker 3: I cannot leave him anywhere?
- 35:46Speaker 2: What's he planning? Attack?
- 35:46Speaker 3: Are you going to do this? I've got to get
- 35:48Speaker 3: him out of the car.
- 35:49Speaker 1: So for example, and then I saw I saw on
- 35:53Speaker 1: social media that someone was getting shamed for leaving their
- 35:56Speaker 1: kid in the car where they went to pay for petrol. Okay,
- 35:59Speaker 1: so and I tried to pay for petrol, but I
- 36:01Speaker 1: had to take oscar with me because he's freak from
- 36:03Speaker 1: out now. So leads me to believe where my question is,
- 36:06Speaker 1: is it okay to leave your kid in the car
- 36:11Speaker 1: when you go to pay for petrol? Very quick? It's
- 36:15Speaker 1: all fully glass and I think the petro stations fully
- 36:18Speaker 1: glassed for this particular reason, so you can look.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Out at the car.
- 36:22Speaker 2: You think they've designed petrol stations purely on abductions. I mean,
- 36:29Speaker 2: I'm no architect, but that makes a lot of sense.
- 36:31Speaker 2: I actually it's a good question, a great question. I'm
- 36:33Speaker 2: glad you asked it, Ash, because it's one that has
- 36:36Speaker 2: troubled me, has it?
- 36:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I've come to the right place.
- 36:40Speaker 2: There's a certain age when the kids were quite young
- 36:42Speaker 2: where I remember going to the petrol station and then
- 36:45Speaker 2: you know, running in and running out. Obviously you should
- 36:47Speaker 2: never leave your kids in the car. But if you're
- 36:50Speaker 2: literally going to be in and out of the shop,
- 36:52Speaker 2: if you're going to go in there and do some shopping, yeah,
- 36:54Speaker 2: probably look.
- 36:55Speaker 3: For a little sweet tree. You should take the kids
- 36:57Speaker 3: with you.
- 36:57Speaker 2: You're going to go in there and do a grocery shop.
- 36:59Speaker 1: What sort of psychopath is doing a grocery shop at
- 37:01Speaker 1: a petrol station.
- 37:02Speaker 3: I'm just saying that's the question for another time.
- 37:05Speaker 2: But I think if you're nipping in and out, I
- 37:07Speaker 2: think it's absolutely fine. I will say any other circumstance
- 37:11Speaker 2: going to the pub, leaving your kids in the car
- 37:13Speaker 2: goes without saying that's a terrible thing to do and
- 37:15Speaker 2: should never happen.
- 37:20Speaker 3: No, I shouldn't know.
- 37:21Speaker 1: That's bad, bad, but I think it's why it.
- 37:22Speaker 2: It's one of those things that I think is allowed,
- 37:25Speaker 2: but it feels naughty, it.
- 37:27Speaker 3: Feels Yeah, I don't know if it's allowed.
- 37:29Speaker 1: That's what I mean. I'm okay, okay, the question itself,
- 37:35Speaker 1: you think it's harmless because of the situation that, Like
- 37:38Speaker 1: I said, you are looking at the car. What do
- 37:40Speaker 1: you do? Do you lock it? Do you turn it off?
- 37:42Speaker 1: Do you leave it on?
- 37:43Speaker 3: Do you put the window down?
- 37:44Speaker 1: There?
- 37:44Speaker 3: There's petrol fume. There's all these different variances.
- 37:47Speaker 2: I think. I think petrol fumes, Come on, bro, come on.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Get real.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Can't be good for your brain cells.
- 37:54Speaker 1: It's not great.
- 37:54Speaker 2: But it's not as if you're like holding it just petrol, bro,
- 37:58Speaker 2: I know, but you're not filling up the car with
- 37:59Speaker 2: your child's face next to the hose of the petrol
- 38:02Speaker 2: being like you like that? Is that? How? You don't know?
- 38:07Speaker 2: I think the only environment, the only situation where it's
- 38:11Speaker 2: okay to momentarily leave your child in the car is
- 38:14Speaker 2: when you go and pay for petrol.
- 38:16Speaker 3: That's it.
- 38:16Speaker 2: I think, only moment I think, if you want to
- 38:18Speaker 2: go get a coffee, yeah, you know you can't. You
- 38:21Speaker 2: cannot duck into a cafe and leave your child in
- 38:24Speaker 2: the car.
- 38:25Speaker 1: What about?
- 38:25Speaker 3: Okay?
- 38:26Speaker 1: I picked up a takeaway pizza that I knew was
- 38:28Speaker 1: already and I pulled up to the pizza shop. It's
- 38:33Speaker 1: right there, I lit, I said to Oscar. Count to ten,
- 38:37Speaker 1: and I was back by Tommy.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Count.
- 38:39Speaker 3: That's also balling his eyes out because I can't. I
- 38:44Speaker 3: can't leave him in the car anymore.
- 38:45Speaker 2: I think it's fine.
- 38:46Speaker 1: But also like, yeah, I before I thought of the question,
- 38:52Speaker 1: I thought it was fine.
- 38:53Speaker 2: But can I ask the real parent in this relationship? Yeah, April, April,
- 39:00Speaker 2: can you come here for a second.
- 39:02Speaker 1: They're not words I thought I would ever strut down
- 39:05Speaker 1: those stairs there darning.
- 39:06Speaker 2: April, will you come here for just a second?
- 39:08Speaker 1: Sit next, sit on man's lap there.
- 39:13Speaker 3: Oh that's beautiful.
- 39:15Speaker 2: This is great. Now kissed. The question is is it
- 39:20Speaker 2: okay to leave your child in the car if you're
- 39:24Speaker 2: just you filled up the card petrol, you're ducking into pay?
- 39:28Speaker 2: Is it okay?
- 39:29Speaker 1: I said, it's fine.
- 39:30Speaker 2: It's the only situation where you can leave a child
- 39:32Speaker 2: in the car because it's like it's less than a minute, right, Yes, No,
- 39:36Speaker 2: I definitely would do that. Yeah, I think it's fine.
- 39:39Speaker 1: Would you say I thought it was fine, and now
- 39:42Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it, I don't think it's okay.
- 39:45Speaker 2: But for what reason?
- 39:46Speaker 1: I'm worried that someone's going to take them and if
- 39:48Speaker 1: I lock it then they might boil leave a little bit.
- 39:53Speaker 3: It's like a dog exactly.
- 39:55Speaker 1: Okay, will you be very helpful to thank you? I
- 39:58Speaker 1: think you want to sign off. What should catchphrase? Don't
- 40:00Speaker 1: put her on the spot like that? Now, dance shake it.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I think it's fine you and I think the fact
- 40:08Speaker 2: that you're nervous about it is a good thing. It
- 40:11Speaker 2: shows that you do care for your kids.
- 40:15Speaker 1: So I couldn't hear you.
- 40:18Speaker 2: Ah, Yeah, and obviously I think I think it's It
- 40:21Speaker 2: must be difficult for you being in a situation where
- 40:25Speaker 2: you know that you're causing a lot of distress to
- 40:27Speaker 2: your child.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Thank you, am I growing you are momentuary.
- 40:32Speaker 2: I don't know what is if someone takes you, keep
- 40:35Speaker 2: be quiet about it. He has to say that because
- 40:39Speaker 2: he knows that he's just shown a little bit of vulnerability,
- 40:42Speaker 2: which is fine.
- 40:43Speaker 3: I need to hide that by.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Pretending like he doesn't care for his children, which we
- 40:47Speaker 2: all know is not true. Yeah, you don't like doing
- 40:51Speaker 2: it because you care for Oscar and as well being.
- 40:53Speaker 2: You don't You don't want him to be in a
- 40:54Speaker 2: situation where he's unhappy. Wow. There Apy sessions you've been
- 40:58Speaker 2: going to are working.
- 41:01Speaker 3: I actually missed the last one.
- 41:05Speaker 2: This one has come through. It's from Sarah, who wants
- 41:08Speaker 2: to know if I've had any arguments with my mom
- 41:11Speaker 2: now that.
- 41:12Speaker 1: She lives with us.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Oh.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Actually, I wanted to ask you this too, because I've
- 41:15Speaker 1: been I've stayed in your house a couple of times
- 41:16Speaker 1: when your mom's lived there, and you can cut tension
- 41:20Speaker 1: in the air sometimes. Yeah, yeah, it would have been.
- 41:23Speaker 1: That would be the same way. It's not just you
- 41:25Speaker 1: two would be the same with every.
- 41:27Speaker 2: It's stressful times. Right now. I've had to you know,
- 41:30Speaker 2: I'm dealing with with you talking about moving house every
- 41:34Speaker 2: time we speak, which you know has not been easy
- 41:36Speaker 2: for me to be on the back end of that
- 41:39Speaker 2: conversation every single day. Appreciate that when you call me,
- 41:43Speaker 2: oh my god, God, what is it now, I've got.
- 41:49Speaker 3: You again. If I don't call you, no one will.
- 41:52Speaker 2: That's not true. So there are moments ash with a
- 41:56Speaker 2: lot going on, and my mom does certain things that
- 42:01Speaker 2: this is. This is one thing that she's done recently,
- 42:06Speaker 2: which to me doesn't make any sense. And I'm trying
- 42:08Speaker 2: to explain to my mum the way that you're doing
- 42:11Speaker 2: this task is not an efficient way of working. That's fair, right,
- 42:16Speaker 2: we're not living in the dark ages. There's modern technology.
- 42:20Speaker 2: So when we run the bath, sometimes we'll try and
- 42:24Speaker 2: time it where the kids are half finish their dinner.
- 42:26Speaker 2: We then go to the bath on right. Takes a
- 42:29Speaker 2: little while, takes five ten minutes to fill the bath up,
- 42:32Speaker 2: so we time it so the kids are finished. Got
- 42:34Speaker 2: to keep them mental going, get the kids.
- 42:35Speaker 1: Stop out of the bar.
- 42:36Speaker 2: So get the kids from dinner into the bath, keep
- 42:39Speaker 2: them moving. We're going to slipstream it to them getting
- 42:41Speaker 2: into bed as quickly as food.
- 42:44Speaker 1: Bath, brush your teeth while they're finishing the bath, towel, dressed, bed. Yeah, smooth,
- 42:51Speaker 1: smooth transitions.
- 42:52Speaker 2: Right. Sometimes ash, Sometimes you run the bath too early.
- 42:56Speaker 2: The kids take a little longer to eat, so the
- 42:58Speaker 2: bath is a bit cold. That's okay, modern technology. Turn
- 43:03Speaker 2: the hot water on.
- 43:07Speaker 1: I don't think hot water is modern technology.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Well, okay, what my mom does. She boils, She boils
- 43:16Speaker 2: the kettle.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Oh ellie, you idiot.
- 43:18Speaker 2: She oils the kettle and I'm like, what are you doing.
- 43:22Speaker 1: Let me just light this candle so we can see.
- 43:27Speaker 2: She's putting a note in a pigeon. Second, I'm just
- 43:30Speaker 2: sending a quick message.
- 43:31Speaker 1: I'm just tying it to the pigeon.
- 43:33Speaker 2: You don't need to work like that. You can just
- 43:36Speaker 2: there is a tap there that has a h on it.
- 43:39Speaker 2: You turn that on. It'll take a second or two
- 43:42Speaker 2: to warm up, but hot water will come out. It'll
- 43:44Speaker 2: warm the bath.
- 43:45Speaker 3: And if you really want to get tricky and you
- 43:47Speaker 3: don't want the bath level to get any higher, you
- 43:50Speaker 3: can also empty a little bit.
- 43:52Speaker 2: She drinks the bar.
- 43:53Speaker 1: She's like, let me siphon an old fish. Are I've
- 44:02Speaker 1: got it, it's down the train. Let's get my stifling
- 44:05Speaker 1: hose out of a bottom drawer on a bedside table.
- 44:07Speaker 2: And I'm like, what are you doing? Why are you
- 44:09Speaker 2: doing that? And I'm I'm trying to explain to her,
- 44:12Speaker 2: and she's like, ah, this is how I do things.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Just let me live my life. I'm not hurting anyone.
- 44:16Speaker 3: No, I don't let her live a life like that.
- 44:18Speaker 3: That's unacceptable.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Yeah, And so we had.
- 44:21Speaker 2: An argument because she was trying to woll the bath
- 44:23Speaker 2: up with the kettle.
- 44:24Speaker 3: Look out the front, she's trying to wind the car up.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Stuff. Hell on, kids get in.
- 44:33Speaker 2: So that's that was the it was the recent argument,
- 44:36Speaker 2: and that's fair.
- 44:37Speaker 3: That is unacceptable.
- 44:39Speaker 2: Look, I know that if she wants to boil a
- 44:42Speaker 2: kettle and fill that up and fill the bath up
- 44:45Speaker 2: with that kind of water.
- 44:48Speaker 3: It's like it's more sterile.
- 44:49Speaker 2: This stuff not the worst thing to happen, but I
- 44:52Speaker 2: just it's a waste of time. It's a waste of time.
- 44:54Speaker 1: It's such a waste of time when the hot water
- 44:58Speaker 1: is hot enough to reheat the bath at to an
- 45:02Speaker 1: adequate temperature.
- 45:03Speaker 2: So look, there's a few things, a few issues in
- 45:06Speaker 2: the way that she operates that I'm trying to I'm
- 45:08Speaker 2: trying to iron them out of her. But she's putting
- 45:10Speaker 2: up a lot of fight, a lot of resistance. We'll
- 45:12Speaker 2: get there, We'll get their few hiccups.
- 45:14Speaker 1: I'm just reflecting on her softening water out of the
- 45:17Speaker 1: bar mate with.
- 45:19Speaker 2: An old She's a unique operator. Anyway, If you have
