- 1:17Speaker 1: to it.
- 1:18Speaker 3: We all do it.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Yeah, when you've got a sibling, you're just like, should
- 1:21Speaker 1: we send some flowers? Why don't we send one group
- 1:23Speaker 1: of flowers, just put our names on it, and it's
- 1:25Speaker 1: like $ 12 each.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Budgery?
- 1:27Speaker 1: No, it was like a.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Parrot.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Something along those lines. It wasn't a budgie, I know that,
- 1:32Speaker 1: because how I know that is the budgie is also
- 1:35Speaker 1: buried in the backyard, which is my budgie, in the cemetery. Now,
- 1:40Speaker 1: the animals that are in there, There's an array of animals.
- 1:43Speaker 2: In the backyard, sorry.
- 1:44Speaker 1: In the backyard, buried in the backyard, okay. My grandfather,
- 1:47Speaker 1: who is also dead, is not in the backyard.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 1:51Speaker 1: He's on top. Nan still talks to him. Anyway, down
- 1:56Speaker 1: in the back we've got a couple of dogs from
- 1:58Speaker 1: my childhood. We've got Prince, Honey. They all died of
- 2:01Speaker 1: old age, I think. There's Goldfish, a couple of Goldfish,
- 2:06Speaker 1: a lot of birds. A lot of cats.
- 2:09Speaker 2: How many cats?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Oh, my nan would do the thing where she'd take
- 2:13Speaker 1: in strays and have them for like 20 years and
- 2:15Speaker 1: then they'd die. They'd have a great life and then
- 2:17Speaker 1: she'd bury them down the back.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:19Speaker 1: There's a horse down there.
- 2:20Speaker 2: What?
- 2:21Speaker 1: Not even kidding. Sandy is the horse's name.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Mate, when people redevelop that block of land and they
- 2:26Speaker 2: start excavating and they're like, oh, my God, it's Noah's Ark.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Would it shock you to know that there's more than
- 2:31Speaker 1: one horse? What? Yeah. Who?
- 2:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:35Speaker 1: So my auntie was back in the 70s and 80s.
- 2:39Speaker 1: They were horse people. Okay. Just be mindful. One of
- 2:42Speaker 1: the horses' name is Sandy. The other horse's name is
- 2:45Speaker 1: an inappropriate word for someone, which I will not say.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And just be mindful. It was like the 50s and
- 2:51Speaker 1: the 60s. It started off with this horse. So very
- 2:54Speaker 1: different times. Anyway, so horses buried down there and now
- 2:57Speaker 1: Pretty Boy's buried down there as well.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Oh, wow. So who dug the hole for Pretty Boy?
- 3:03Speaker 1: The bird.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Man.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Man's like, oh, that's the horse bone. Oh, that's a cat. Yeah.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I hope they're deeper than that.
- 3:10Speaker 2: She's got like a map of where there's like a
- 3:12Speaker 2: free block of like. Yeah.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I've got like their names.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Is there like little tombstones?
- 3:17Speaker 1: There was at one stage there was powder pop sticks up. Yeah.
- 3:20Speaker 1: With like a little cross. Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 3: We did that in our backyard growing up.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Did you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I thought it was real weird.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Not that many animals, though.
- 3:27Speaker 1: No horses?
- 3:29Speaker 2: No, I don't think anyone's got a horse in the backyard.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Good on her, though.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Yeah, horses, Tommy, Prince, Honey, they're all down there. The
- 3:34Speaker 1: whole gang's down there.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Does she want to get buried there?

- 4:09Speaker 1: she was like, I think the cat saw me doing it.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Because she's still got a cat. She was like, I
- 4:14Speaker 1: always try to bury the animals without the cat seeing me.

- 5:13Speaker 1: We've had him on the podcast.

- 5:16Speaker 2: I was on a TV show with him. I'm a celebrity.

- 5:27Speaker 2: a note.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 5:28Speaker 2: So, Ash, we've spoken about the fact that nothing feels
- 5:32Speaker 2: quite as good as getting a viral comment on a
- 5:34Speaker 2: video on social media.
- 5:36Speaker 1: It's better than making the best video ever.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Do I dare say it's better than sex?
- 5:40Speaker 3: Definitely not.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Am I right, guys? You're having the wrong type of sex.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Get a sex pillow.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I know.
- 5:46Speaker 1: You'll have a different thought.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I can't afford them. But he did a video recently
- 5:51Speaker 2: and I saw an opportunity to have a joke.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Did you steal one of my jokes or did you
- 5:55Speaker 1: use the original?
- 5:56Speaker 2: No, I have stolen a lot of your lines.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And they've all been fine.
- 5:58Speaker 2: They've all been great. This was a Matty J original
- 6:01Speaker 2: and my finger was hovering over the like, do I
- 6:03Speaker 2: press yes to this comment? Do I send it? And
- 6:06Speaker 2: I was like, nah. And then I was like, fuck it.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Dave Hughes will find it funny. I'll show you the video.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Oh, God. If I had a time machine, I'd go
- 6:14Speaker 1: back to 2022 and I would have not mocked whoever
- 6:18Speaker 1: came up with the term. It won't be easy under Albanese.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Let's have a look at it. Since he was elected. Okay.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
- 6:27Speaker 1: He's very somber in that video compared to his normal.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Does he look like he's ready for a joke?
- 6:35Speaker 2: I thought he did.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Not really.
- 6:38Speaker 2: So I said.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Oh, fuck. She's a lucky lady.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I said, are you sure you wouldn't go back in
- 6:45Speaker 2: time and ask for a different haircut first? What?
- 6:51Speaker 1: I just complimented his hair. It's nice.
- 6:54Speaker 2: That's why it's a joke because it's a good haircut.
- 6:57Speaker 1: You can set your watch to that hairline. Right?
- 6:59Speaker 2: It's a fresh haircut. Dave Hughes will find this funny.
- 7:02Speaker 2: So will his followers. Read the comments.
- 7:05Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Oh, fuck.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Are you getting cancelled?
- 7:08Speaker 1: There's one like on your comment. That says it all.
- 7:11Speaker 1: And it's from me. No mirror at home, Maddie. He's
- 7:18Speaker 1: trying to advocate for the average Australian. All you can
- 7:21Speaker 1: do to attempt is insult him.
- 7:23Speaker 5: Oh.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Ripping into how blokes look instead of engaging with his
- 7:26Speaker 1: conversation is definitely father of the year, babe. Oh, God.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Read the room. Oh, my God.
- 7:34Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
- 7:34Speaker 1: 400K followers, a blue tick, and this is what you
- 7:36Speaker 1: use the platform for?
- 7:38Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Really? Surely something hacked your account. Yeah, they did.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to say I've been hacked.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I'm tipping that didn't go well.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I was like.
- 7:52Speaker 3: That's funny.
- 7:53Speaker 2: I said, you know what? I'm going to go check
- 7:55Speaker 2: in on that comment to see how it's going.
- 7:58Speaker 1: One like.
- 7:59Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, my God.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Not your best move.
- 8:04Speaker 2: That was a funny joke.
- 8:05Speaker 1: It's harmless, but it's harmless because I think like the
- 8:09Speaker 1: joke is going to be in that situation for the audience,
- 8:12Speaker 1: not for him. Because he's probably not going to see that.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I didn't even, to be honest, I didn't hear what
- 8:17Speaker 2: he was saying about Albanese.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Nah, me either.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Has he responded?
- 8:21Speaker 2: He hasn't.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Okay. Would you like to say sorry?
- 8:24Speaker 5: No.
- 8:25Speaker 1: You brought unnecessary attention to his head.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Because it's funny because it's a good haircut. Fuck, I'll
- 8:30Speaker 2: never comment.
- 8:31Speaker 1: On another video. It's funny. To me it was funny.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Because it was like random. Everyone else is not thinking
- 8:37Speaker 1: so much. But it's all right. Hey. Hey, you'll get
- 8:40Speaker 1: them next time.
- 8:41Speaker 2: I hope so.
- 8:42Speaker 1: You should retract it. You should go in there and
- 8:44Speaker 1: be like, I was hacked and see what happens.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Well, I thought I would double down and be like,
- 8:47Speaker 2: fucking tough crowd.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Yeah, do that.
- 8:50Speaker 5: No.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Dave Hughes, if you're listening, I love you.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Let's join the pile on Ash.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I will.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Don't.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I don't need that.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Can you remind me to find that later?
- 9:01Speaker 2: If you're listening, can you go to that? Please go
- 9:04Speaker 2: to that video on Dave Hughes. It's like the third
- 9:05Speaker 2: one in his feed. And just be like, ha, ha, ha.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Don't do it.
- 9:08Speaker 2: That's really funny, Matt.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Don't do it.
- 9:09Speaker 2: That's really funny.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I endorse you not doing it.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Let's see the power of the doters.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Help me out.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Yeah, if you double down on everyone else, then there's
- 9:17Speaker 1: free hats involved.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Look, whenever I try and make a joke, actually Father
- 9:20Speaker 2: of the Year, that award's come back to bite me
- 9:21Speaker 2: in the ass because every time I do something that's
- 9:23Speaker 2: like a joke, everyone's like, well, that's not very Fatherly
- 9:24Speaker 2: of the Year.
- 9:25Speaker 1: That's exactly why I don't want it and won't get it. No,
- 9:29Speaker 1: I definitely don't want it. It's not for me. Talent Savings, Matt. Well,
- 9:32Speaker 1: you were in Queensland. Bangladesh is Queensland, right? Correct.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Well said.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Is it the western coast of Queensland or is it
- 9:37Speaker 1: just really high up the top?
- 9:39Speaker 2: High up the top, it's near Townsville. Townsville. I think
- 9:42Speaker 2: it's Townsville. Which one's first? Cairns first and Townsville? It
- 9:45Speaker 2: always gets mixed up.
- 9:45Speaker 1: It's so much further than people think.
- 9:47Speaker 3: It is.
- 9:47Speaker 2: Laura was like, oh, yeah, the bloody flight's only going
- 9:50Speaker 2: to be an hour. And I'm like, it's like an
- 9:52Speaker 2: hour to Brisbane.

- 9:56Speaker 1: Home wow yeah they didn't make up any time in
- 9:58Speaker 1: the air.
- 9:58Speaker 2: And also I know sometimes I'm like please please please

- 10:02Speaker 1: To like put the boosters on we gained an hour
- 10:04Speaker 1: on the way to Kuala Lumpur the other day literally
- 10:08Speaker 1: they were like it's only going to be eight hours
- 10:10Speaker 1: instead of seven or whatever I mean instead of nine.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Can we just do that like normally you just speed.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Everything up pedal to the metal big guy get down.

- 10:24Speaker 2: ipads and i was like what what for i was
- 10:28Speaker 2: like this is like ipad territory.
- 10:30Speaker 1: The airplane is you're in international air it doesn't what
- 10:33Speaker 1: your rules you should have turned around You don't make
- 10:37Speaker 1: the rules up there. The pilot does. The pilot says
- 10:39Speaker 1: it's fine.
- 10:39Speaker 2: And she was like, no, we're not going to do it.
- 10:42Speaker 2: I was like.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Why are we making life harder for ourselves?
- 10:46Speaker 3: Facts.
- 10:47Speaker 2: My kids love them dearly. Do turn into little fuckwits
- 10:52Speaker 2: when they have the iPad. Sorry, kids.
- 10:54Speaker 1: That's true.
- 10:55Speaker 2: It ruins them.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least for that moment you get to
- 10:59Speaker 1: your destination. I'd much rather deal with a shithead kid
- 11:03Speaker 1: on land than in the air.
- 11:05Speaker 2: But she won the battle. Of course she won the battle.
- 11:08Speaker 1: You would never win in that.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Well, I'm strong.
- 11:11Speaker 6: I'm a strong boy.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I'm a strong boy. I can argue with my wife
- 11:15Speaker 2: and win it.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Sure you can. I believe you can.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh so loud.
- 11:21Speaker 1: You should have wrote this on the bottom of Dave Hughes.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Guys, I'm feeling very fragile.
- 11:23Speaker 1: You should have put that on the bottom of Dave Hughes' post.
- 11:25Speaker 2: After being attacked on Dave Hughes' post.
- 11:27Speaker 1: You should have wrote that on there. I can stand
- 11:29Speaker 1: up to my wife and people will be like, oh,
- 11:31Speaker 1: this is funny. No, I'm just kidding. Wow. She won.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Move on.
- 11:36Speaker 2: So no iPad. But, yeah, Magnetica Island, no daylight savings.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa. She won. What did they do on
- 11:44Speaker 1: the plane instead?
- 11:45Speaker 2: They fought.
- 11:47Speaker 1: There you go. So you should have won that argument.
- 11:50Speaker 2: We did some colouring in. I actually bought Marley a book.
- 11:54Speaker 1: I bought her an iPad at the airport.
- 11:57Speaker 2: And she read the book and actually it wasn't too bad. Okay.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Well, they are getting older.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:04Speaker 1: She's still young. It was all right.
- 12:08Speaker 2: I still think iPad on a plane.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Oh, for sure. I'm backing you. I'm going to put
- 12:11Speaker 1: it on a T-shirt.
- 12:12Speaker 2: But maybe like don't put this out there in case
- 12:14Speaker 2: Laura sees this chat and then she gets angry at me.
- 12:16Speaker 1: No, put it out there.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Oh, that was going to be a social clip.
- 12:18Speaker 2: I'm joking.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Do it. Fuck her. Yeah, do it.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Let's double down. I've got nothing to lose.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Double down.
- 12:23Speaker 2: All the Dave Hughes supporters alike.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Except your wife.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's the one person who liked that comment.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Now she's unliked it.
- 12:31Speaker 2: I liked it myself.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Oh.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Was it bad? I don't know.
- 12:36Speaker 1: It wasn't too bad this year. Like I feel like
- 12:39Speaker 1: because there's no naps and stuff involved anymore in my house,
- 12:42Speaker 1: it's more just like are they going to sleep later
- 12:45Speaker 1: and they were up late that night because the footy
- 12:48Speaker 1: was on anyway. So it was sort of like sort
- 12:51Speaker 1: of panned out this year. What about you?
- 12:54Speaker 2: Yeah, Vic, how are you?
- 12:55Speaker 3: Well, we got confused. We thought Lily was sick because
- 12:58Speaker 3: she woke.
- 12:59Speaker 5: Up that morning and was like, I'm really tired, I
- 13:00Speaker 5: want to go back to bed, and she was a
- 13:02Speaker 5: bit sniffly so I was like, Okay, go have a nap.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Sure, like get out of my hair.
- 13:05Speaker 2: You're just jet lagged.
- 13:06Speaker 5: And then she slept for like two hours. I took
- 13:09Speaker 5: Louis down to the beach and then I called Dan
- 13:11Speaker 5: and he's like, oh, yeah, she's still asleep. I'm like,
- 13:12Speaker 5: can you wake her up, please? This was at like
- 13:15Speaker 5: one o'clock. She'd been asleep for three hours.
- 13:16Speaker 2: She's a non-napper now? Non-napper?
- 13:18Speaker 5: Non-napper, but we do like to give her the occasional
- 13:21Speaker 5: nap if she's a bit run down. And we just
- 13:23Speaker 5: had like big drive back and everything. So we thought maybe.
- 13:26Speaker 1: She's a bit sick. Did she do a lot of
- 13:27Speaker 1: the driving, did she? Yeah.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Very good.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 13:29Speaker 3: No, but it takes it out of them.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Did you find that funny at all? No.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Ash, she's a child.
- 13:38Speaker 1: That's why it's a joke. Okay.
- 13:40Speaker 2: See how I back you up? I got your back.
- 13:43Speaker 1: You should go back to 2022. When you make bad.
- 13:45Speaker 2: Jokes, I'm always there in your corner. You should go back. Go, Ash,
- 13:48Speaker 2: you can do it.
- 13:49Speaker 1: You should go back to– I don't make bad jokes.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You should go back to 2022 and think about that haircut.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Don't laugh at that, Vic.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 13:58Speaker 1: You can laugh if it's funny. Exhibit A.
- 14:01Speaker 2: So she didn't try.
- 14:01Speaker 1: So that's how it's done.
- 14:03Speaker 6: Okay, why don't you do it?
- 14:08Speaker 1: Can you put it in the brief at the top
- 14:10Speaker 1: and be like, jokes make people laugh.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Can we pick this up after the recording?
- 14:15Speaker 1: I'll give you an hour. I'll give you an hour
- 14:17Speaker 1: of my time to teach you how to be funny.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Vic, continue.
- 14:21Speaker 3: Oh, man, I'm sweating and crying at the same time.
- 14:24Speaker 1: It's not that sad.
- 14:27Speaker 3: What was I even saying?
- 14:29Speaker 6: Lily.
- 14:30Speaker 5: So that night Grand Final was on and I was
- 14:32Speaker 5: watching it by myself and then she comes out and
- 14:35Speaker 5: she's like, I'm still hungry.
- 14:36Speaker 3: And this was at like 8.30?
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah, it was second hour. I remember you messaging.
- 14:41Speaker 2: An hour time difference. The kids don't fucking know what
- 14:44Speaker 2: day it is.
- 14:45Speaker 3: I think it was because.
- 14:46Speaker 5: She had slept so long in the morning and so
- 14:48Speaker 5: then we had a second dinner. She got ice cream
- 14:50Speaker 5: this time because she'd missed out.
- 14:52Speaker 2: What? Vic doing the ice cream? Normally you give the
- 14:54Speaker 2: kids like a banana.
- 14:55Speaker 1: You'd shame us if we did that.
- 14:56Speaker 2: You'd shame us.
- 14:57Speaker 1: You'd shame me for doing that.
- 14:58Speaker 2: You gave her sugar at that hour of the night? Wow.
- 15:00Speaker 1: How dare you? Matt's feeling a bit. He needs to
- 15:03Speaker 1: get on top because of the joke thing. He's like, please,
- 15:07Speaker 1: let me back in the club.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I'm at the bottom of the run here.
- 15:10Speaker 1: You'll come back up. You'll come out quick, I reckon.
- 15:13Speaker 5: But, yeah, it was a nightmare and she eventually did
- 15:15Speaker 5: go to sleep. But I missed most of the game
- 15:17Speaker 5: because I was lying with her.
- 15:18Speaker 1: My thoughts and prayers out to parents with younger kids
- 15:21Speaker 1: who are still going through nap time and everything has
- 15:22Speaker 1: to shift an hour.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Well said.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I remember April, she was an EA as a profession,
- 15:27Speaker 1: but she's so like punctual with things. It's actually irritating.
- 15:31Speaker 2: But I love you.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Happy anniversary.
- 15:33Speaker 2: She's the type of person that changes the clock on
- 15:35Speaker 2: the car.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Oh, good question. No, but yeah. No, actually I was
- 15:39Speaker 1: in her car. I took her car last night to
- 15:42Speaker 1: fill it up, give it a quick wash and do
- 15:44Speaker 1: the washer fill because I'm away for a week. And
- 15:46Speaker 1: she's anxious at the petrol station now because it's a
- 15:49Speaker 1: diesel car and she had to learn all about diesel
- 15:51Speaker 1: and petrol is different. But, you know, there's that little
- 15:53Speaker 1: clip at the diesel bowser. It's a little clip. It's
- 15:56Speaker 1: to stop you from putting petrol in your car. So
- 15:58Speaker 1: you've got to press a button, but you've got to
- 16:00Speaker 1: put it back on properly. She got yelled at by
- 16:02Speaker 1: the guy through the speaker. I don't think she got
- 16:04Speaker 1: yelled at. I think it was like, excuse me, please
- 16:07Speaker 1: make sure that you put the... And she's like, I'm
- 16:10Speaker 1: never going back to a petrol station ever again. So
- 16:13Speaker 1: now I already would do it anyway. Whenever I'm in
- 16:16Speaker 1: the car, I'm like, it's a blue job to fill
- 16:18Speaker 1: your cars up with petrol as far as I can see.
- 16:20Speaker 1: So I would do it anyway, but now it's like,
- 16:23Speaker 1: sometimes I just use it. I'd be like, ah, I
- 16:25Speaker 1: don't have time. You're going to have to do it.
- 16:26Speaker 1: She's like, oh my God. Oh my God. No. And just,
- 16:29Speaker 1: just to stress her out.
- 16:30Speaker 2: I see her in Bondo.
- 16:31Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing?
- 16:32Speaker 2: And she's like, I'm just filling up.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Don't yell at me over here. Anyway, I haven't checked
- 16:38Speaker 1: the clocks. That's what I was.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Trying to say.
- 16:40Speaker 1: I bet she would.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Can I quickly just give a shout out? I don't
- 16:44Speaker 2: know her name, but I was saved by an angel.
- 16:48Speaker 2: So going back to Magnetic Island, I'm pretty good with timings.
- 16:52Speaker 2: Like I'm like, okay, the flight leaves at this hour,
- 16:55Speaker 2: get there an hour before, takes 40 minutes to get
- 16:57Speaker 2: to the airport.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Let me hold you up right there. And Vic, I
- 17:00Speaker 1: want to just get your attention really quick. Matt just said,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I'm really good with timings. What do we feel about that?
- 17:07Speaker 2: When it comes to the airport, when it comes to
- 17:10Speaker 2: the airport.
- 17:11Speaker 1: If there's a chance that a business class flyer is
- 17:12Speaker 1: there before they open.
- 17:14Speaker 2: For the record, I appreciate.
- 17:16Speaker 1: So we're not as important.
- 17:18Speaker 2: I am often the third person. I will do better.
- 17:21Speaker 2: I'm often the last one in the room. I acknowledge that.
- 17:24Speaker 2: But airports are a different kettle of fish.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Okay, go on.
- 17:27Speaker 2: When it's the risk of missing a flight, that's when
- 17:29Speaker 2: I kick into gear.
- 17:30Speaker 1: We have been, both of us, together. Every time we
- 17:34Speaker 1: do fly together, they have to call over the speaker
- 17:35Speaker 1: for us. Because we're shooting shit and talking shit.
- 17:37Speaker 2: No, that's you.
- 17:38Speaker 1: No, that's you. Okay.
- 17:40Speaker 2: It's both of us. Both of us.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:43Speaker 3: You love to talk. That's why we have a podcast.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Correct.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't talk on the plane because he falls
- 17:48Speaker 1: asleep immediately. So we've got to do the talking.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Guilty. The rocking just gets to me. So I mapped
- 17:53Speaker 2: out the time. We had a 6.45 flight.
- 17:56Speaker 3: AM.
- 17:57Speaker 1: Correct. Very good.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Mapped it out. I was like, okay, I can get
- 18:00Speaker 2: there this time. I didn't realize there was a strike
- 18:02Speaker 2: on at Sydney Airport.
- 18:05Speaker 1: A strike for what?
- 18:06Speaker 2: The workers are striking. I did see that. Good on them.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Power to the people asking for more money. They just
- 18:12Speaker 2: don't strike when I'm flying.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Fully. It's school holidays. Honestly, they just keep, do you
- 18:16Speaker 1: know who keeps striking? The train people. So they're like,
- 18:19Speaker 1: if the train people could do it, then the plane
- 18:21Speaker 1: people are onto it too.
- 18:22Speaker 2: We're doing it as well. The train people are always striking.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Shout out to, again, the working class out there and
- 18:27Speaker 2: fighting for more money as they should.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Yeah, but just don't do it when we're drunk. Thank you.
- 18:32Speaker 2: So- As we turn into Sydney Airport, if everyone's not familiar,
- 18:35Speaker 2: there's like one set of lights, the last one you
- 18:36Speaker 2: then turn in and normally that last set of lights,
- 18:39Speaker 2: normally it takes like what, two minutes, right? From that
- 18:42Speaker 2: last set of lights you turn in to get to departures.
- 18:44Speaker 1: It's quite an awkward one. It depends on traffic. It's
- 18:47Speaker 1: quite awkward. I know what you're talking about. It's like
- 18:49Speaker 1: a left turn off.
- 18:50Speaker 2: So that normally takes two minutes. It took me 20
- 18:53Speaker 2: minutes of traffic because it was so banked up.
- 18:54Speaker 1: It was so busy. Yeah, I run the risk and
- 18:57Speaker 1: I always say to April, I'm like, I'm going to
- 18:59Speaker 1: go to the front and just see if there's a
- 19:01Speaker 1: weak link in the line who doesn't see the person
- 19:03Speaker 1: pulling in front. And then every time I do it,
- 19:05Speaker 1: I'm like, you better jerk your panties.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Okay.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Vic, we'll take that out.
- 19:12Speaker 5: Why?
- 19:12Speaker 1: It's hot. It's a hot move. She's always like, oh,
- 19:15Speaker 1: my hero.
- 19:16Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you meant because she's wet her pants,
- 19:18Speaker 3: she's so nervous.
- 19:19Speaker 1: No, no, no. It's so attractive. All right.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Okay.
- 19:22Speaker 1: My lane change skills are second to none.
- 19:24Speaker 2: I bet they are.
- 19:25Speaker 3: I've been in the car with you.
- 19:26Speaker 1: They're very.
- 19:28Speaker 3: aggressive aggressive is.
- 19:29Speaker 2: A good word i'm racing so time is ticking and
- 19:32Speaker 2: i'm like fuck this this line ain't moving and we're
- 19:35Speaker 2: getting closer and closer had bag drop and i didn't
- 19:37Speaker 2: realize i thought it was 30 minutes before bag drop
- 19:40Speaker 2: cut off jet stars 40 minutes they've.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Added 10 more minutes i didn't know it's convenient for
- 19:45Speaker 1: them but it's inconvenient.
- 19:46Speaker 2: For you i'm like holy fuck so anyway finally get
- 19:49Speaker 2: in there and i'm like kids everyone just fucking run
- 19:51Speaker 2: right everyone just run.
- 19:53Speaker 1: What direction anyway it's like home alone and i'm like
- 19:59Speaker 1: leave puppy no time for her yeah the movies say
- 20:03Speaker 1: she'll be fine So we.
- 20:05Speaker 2: Get in there, we're waiting to the machines where you
- 20:08Speaker 2: get your bag tags. People are like lining up. This
- 20:10Speaker 2: little girl tries to push in front of me and
- 20:13Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you doing, mate? She goes, I'm
- 20:16Speaker 2: trying to get to my mum.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I'm sick. And I was like, carry on.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Tension in the air.
- 20:22Speaker 3: It's very tense.
- 20:23Speaker 2: Get my bag tags, go over to the machine and
- 20:26Speaker 2: then the fucking machine's like, incorrect bag tag. And I'm like, what?
- 20:31Speaker 1: Sir, you're at Woolies. Yeah.
- 20:34Speaker 2: And so I'm trying to do the machine. I'm in
- 20:35Speaker 2: the machine for 10 minutes. And this lady, I'm like,
- 20:38Speaker 2: excuse me, the machine's not registering my bag tags. And
- 20:41Speaker 2: she goes, I cannot help you, sir.
- 20:42Speaker 1: And I said, damn it.
- 20:45Speaker 2: And then I try again and it goes, flight closed.
- 20:49Speaker 2: And I'm like, to the woman, I go, I'm so sorry.
- 20:51Speaker 2: It's now saying flight closed. And she goes, well, the
- 20:53Speaker 2: flight's closed.
- 20:53Speaker 1: That's because the people serving you at the Jetstar counter,
- 20:56Speaker 1: the people flying the plane, right?
- 20:58Speaker 2: There's no person. All they have now at Sydney Airport
- 21:01Speaker 2: is the machine and the bag drop. There's no like
- 21:03Speaker 2: check-in desk.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Nah, there's like one person wandering.
- 21:06Speaker 2: There's a wanderer.
- 21:07Speaker 3: There's never enough staff to help people.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Not enough staff.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Because the computers don't do what they're supposed to do.
- 21:12Speaker 1: What's annoying is that Jetstar is owned by Qantas. Qantas
- 21:15Speaker 1: is partially owned by the government.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Are they?
- 21:17Speaker 1: It's propped up by the government, hence why they didn't
- 21:19Speaker 1: go under during COVID. And shares were really low at
- 21:22Speaker 1: the time, so you could have bought in and made
- 21:23Speaker 1: a heap of money.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Is it? I could have made all that up and
- 21:25Speaker 1: you guys would not know the difference.
- 21:27Speaker 3: ANSET Australia used to be.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, ANSET. And then that folded. Isn't that just
- 21:32Speaker 1: been now Qantas? Anyway. But, like, it's the government that
- 21:36Speaker 1: did this to you. That's what I'm getting at. It's
- 21:40Speaker 1: a long piece of string, but I found the end
- 21:42Speaker 1: of it and it's the government.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Yeah, at the end of it it's like, ah, Albanese.
- 21:46Speaker 1: It's Dave Hughes.
- 21:47Speaker 6: He's just like, I don't know, I fly private.
- 21:51Speaker 5: Qantas was owned by the government several decades after being
- 21:54Speaker 5: fully nationalised in 1947.
- 21:56Speaker 1: So I was wrong on all accounts.
- 22:00Speaker 2: So this lady, I'm like, please help us. And she's like, no.
- 22:04Speaker 2: And then Laura got a little bit aggressive, which was
- 22:07Speaker 2: kind of hot. But she was like, please.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Oh, we'll take that out. We better take that out.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Nothing's getting by me today. Oh, okay. Got it.
- 22:16Speaker 5: Good.
- 22:17Speaker 2: We're having a good time? Everyone's enjoying themselves?
- 22:19Speaker 1: We are having a great time. Who are you talking to?
- 22:20Speaker 2: Laura's like, but we're here. We're checked in. We've got
- 22:23Speaker 2: the bag tags. And she's like, the flight's closed. There's
- 22:25Speaker 2: nothing we can do. And Laura's like, but we were
- 22:26Speaker 2: trying to get your help 10 minutes ago. She goes, well,
- 22:28Speaker 2: you should have got here earlier.
- 22:30Speaker 1: I was like.
- 22:31Speaker 2: I was like, I was like to the woman, I
- 22:34Speaker 2: was like, if I was you, I'd step away right now.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Yeah. That's what she was.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:38Speaker 1: What, uh, can I just ask about the age of
- 22:41Speaker 1: said employee? Like in terms of like.
- 22:44Speaker 2: I think she was, no, she was, she was like
- 22:45Speaker 2: our age. We'll find with our own, with our own
- 22:47Speaker 2: people here.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Oh, I thought I was thinking, uh, maybe the previous
- 22:51Speaker 1: generation who just dropped.
- 22:52Speaker 2: It wasn't an oldie. It wasn't an oldie. And then
- 22:54Speaker 2: Laura's sister was already like past security. So she was like,
- 22:57Speaker 2: how are you guys going? And Laura's like, we're not
- 22:59Speaker 2: going to make it. There's only one flight as well
- 23:01Speaker 2: per day.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Is it direct to Magnolia? Direct.
- 23:03Speaker 2: No, to Townsville. One of those bloody northern countries, cities, whatever.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Unless they're winning a premiership that year. I don't even
- 23:11Speaker 1: know they exist.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I love you, though.
- 23:14Speaker 2: So I'm like, what do we do here, guys? What
- 23:16Speaker 2: do we do here? We've got the kids screaming. We've
- 23:18Speaker 2: got three kids. Three kids.
- 23:20Speaker 1: That's your fault.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Three kids.
- 23:21Speaker 5: I would say that is one of the most high-stress
- 23:24Speaker 5: situations for a parent.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Dads at an airport need to be studied already.
- 23:27Speaker 2: And so Laura's there about to punch on with this woman,
- 23:30Speaker 2: about to wrestle her to the ground with a baby
- 23:31Speaker 2: strapped to her, and I'm like.
- 23:33Speaker 3: I would do the same.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Right now someone needs to step up.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Someone needs an iPad. I got it. I secretly rang them.
- 23:44Speaker 1: You are welcome. Job done. See, they do serve a purpose.
- 23:48Speaker 2: And I thought, there needs to be a hero. And
- 23:51Speaker 2: I looked at the airport, I scanned the room, and
- 23:53Speaker 2: I saw another wanderer, a Jetstar wanderer, I call her.
- 23:57Speaker 1: She's probably like on a smart go.
- 23:58Speaker 2: And she was actually helping out another couple. And I
- 24:00Speaker 2: kicked them out of the way.
- 24:02Speaker 1: And I was like.
- 24:03Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Do you know who I am? I'm father of the year.
- 24:07Speaker 2: She was like, you're the guy from Dave's comment section.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I was like, oh, fuck. And I was like, please,
- 24:12Speaker 2: we have children. Sometimes having kids is so beneficial.
- 24:15Speaker 3: And a baby.
- 24:16Speaker 2: And I was like, it's a one-year-old.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Look at her.
- 24:19Speaker 2: And I look over and Laura's got the Jetstar woman
- 24:21Speaker 2: in her headlock and I'm like, look, look what's happening.
- 24:23Speaker 2: And she goes, I don't know who this woman is.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I wish I had her name. And she goes, don't worry,
- 24:29Speaker 2: I've got you. And she goes, give me your bags.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I'm going to fucking run them to the plane. And
- 24:36Speaker 2: I was like, you can do that?
- 24:38Speaker 1: And she was like, I can.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Fucking watch me. For you, anything. And the other couple
- 24:42Speaker 2: were like, but what about us? She was like, fuck
- 24:44Speaker 2: you guys. You're out of here. And Laura's talking to
- 24:48Speaker 2: her sister and I go, hang up. We've got to run, baby.
- 24:52Speaker 2: And so then she goes, the security was fucking chockers
- 24:56Speaker 2: as well, buddy.
- 24:58Speaker 1: Did she have gastro too at one point?
- 25:00Speaker 2: Laura's shat herself. In the heat of the argument, Laura's
- 25:04Speaker 2: done a shit.
- 25:04Speaker 1: She's just, oh, just left it there.
- 25:07Speaker 2: And the lady at Jetstar goes, you just run to
- 25:09Speaker 2: the front of the security queue. She goes, just get
- 25:11Speaker 2: to the front. So I'm like, oh, fuck. Everyone's so
- 25:14Speaker 2: like agitated at the security queue. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
- 25:20Speaker 1: <HAL> We tried this once before, Matt. Tried this once before.
- 25:23Speaker 1: We were late for a flight. Go figure.
- 25:25Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:25Speaker 1: And we were going through the same thing. And you
- 25:27Speaker 1: know how they have that side trail for, like, crew
- 25:29Speaker 1: and stuff? You're like, I'm going down there. And I'm like,
- 25:31Speaker 1: I'm not going because he's going to get pulled up.
- 25:33Speaker 2: I got pulled up.
- 25:34Speaker 1: He got pulled up. And I'm like, ooh, how embarrassing.
- 25:37Speaker 2: But when you have kids, it's one of those situations.
- 25:39Speaker 2: When you have kids, you can do whatever the fuck.
- 25:41Speaker 2: We joked about if you're robbing a bank with a
- 25:43Speaker 2: child on your hip, fine.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Fine, give him the money.
- 25:45Speaker 2: And so everyone was like, oh, you got kids. Please,
- 25:47Speaker 2: get in front, get in front. And then one guy
- 25:49Speaker 2: was like, I'm running late too. And I was just like, oh,
- 25:53Speaker 2: I'm not going to buy it back. I was like, Laura,
- 25:54Speaker 2: get him. So if you're that Jetstar employee, hopefully she's listening.
- 26:03Speaker 2: If you know her, she told you that she saved us,
- 26:06Speaker 2: I want to reach out to her.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Domestic, wasn't it?
- 26:09Speaker 2: Domestic.
- 26:10Speaker 1: I'm going to the airport tonight. I was like, I
- 26:12Speaker 1: might pop in and see if I can find.
- 26:13Speaker 2: When we came back, I was looking for the Wanderers.
- 26:15Speaker 1: The Jetstar Wanderers. Back upstairs to Departures? Where is she?
- 26:19Speaker 1: She wasn't there.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Wasn't there.
- 26:21Speaker 3: What a shame.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Well, you know, like heroes, they're hidden in plain sight.
- 26:26Speaker 2: And Laura was like, how did you do it? And
- 26:28Speaker 2: I was like, you know, just whatever.
- 26:30Speaker 1: It just comes to me. In a time of panic,
- 26:33Speaker 1: it just comes to me.
- 26:34Speaker 2: It was all a bit of a blur.
- 26:36Speaker 3: It is in those situations.
- 26:38Speaker 2: And then you get on your seat and then we
- 26:40Speaker 2: fucking sat there on the tarmac for like an hour.
- 26:42Speaker 1: And on Magnetic Island you met a couple of donors.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, shout out to Farron.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Is that his name?
- 26:48Speaker 3: Can I ask just on the airport thing?
- 26:50Speaker 2: Please.
- 26:51Speaker 3: How do you get to the airport?
- 26:52Speaker 2: I drive.
- 26:53Speaker 1: And park?
- 26:54Speaker 2: Yeah, because it works out to be the same for parking.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Because we've got Poppy, you've got to get the bloody maxi.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Valet? Yes. Me too. Okay. Me too. Honestly, if I
- 27:04Speaker 1: can't afford business class, I'm getting a valet car park.
- 27:06Speaker 2: It's the best.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Well, it's actually a hack. So we get valet and
- 27:08Speaker 3: we can.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Not afford it.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Oh, it must be nice.
- 27:10Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
- 27:11Speaker 2: Better check how much we're paying Vic.
- 27:14Speaker 1: It's in the invoice.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Valet parking.
- 27:19Speaker 5: But when you put it in through the city parking thing,
- 27:22Speaker 5: it's just as cheap to go valet as like find
- 27:25Speaker 5: your own park. So we've started doing that and it's
- 27:27Speaker 5: the biggest parenting hack out there.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And if you sign up to their mailing list, you
- 27:31Speaker 1: get 20% off like every two weeks. Oh, that's a new,
- 27:34Speaker 1: anyone go to the hospital? Anyone go to the hospital? 20%
- 27:39Speaker 1: off surgeries. 20% off parking. No, that is great. April's
- 27:42Speaker 1: a member.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Should we take this out in case people start? Because
- 27:46Speaker 2: I feel like people are going to start doing it.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Doing what?
- 27:49Speaker 2: Booking valet.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, why not?
- 27:51Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Book out. All right.
- 27:53Speaker 2: What? What do you mean? Because I always book the
- 27:54Speaker 2: valet parking like the night before.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I booked it yesterday.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Do they?
- 27:58Speaker 1: Actually, at the moment, save 20 for anyone out there.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Magnetic Island. Yeah. Yes.
- 28:05Speaker 2: And whilst I was there, I did meet a lovely
- 28:08Speaker 2: young man named Farron.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Is this the one that everyone really wants to go
- 28:12Speaker 1: on a date with?
- 28:13Speaker 2: Oh, no, that's Terry. One lady was like.
- 28:15Speaker 1: Terry.
- 28:16Speaker 2: I posted about it. And I think Leanne was like,
- 28:18Speaker 2: you wouldn't be able to hook us up with Terry,
- 28:19Speaker 2: would you?
- 28:20Speaker 1: Relax, Leanne. For sure.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Terry's Laura's dad, who lives on Magnetic Island.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Oh, so people know Terry.
- 28:27Speaker 2: People know Terry. Well, there's not many people. I think
- 28:29Speaker 2: the population of Magnetic Island is like a thousand. I
- 28:32Speaker 2: think that's it.
- 28:33Speaker 1: So he's got the pick of the birds.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Not many birds there, but, yeah, he can.
- 28:38Speaker 1: He's wily and charming. Yes. Okay. Yes.
- 28:42Speaker 2: But Farron was like, Matty J? And I was like,
- 28:45Speaker 2: turned around and be like, oh, who's this?
- 28:46Speaker 1: You should have just really fucked him. No, it's Ash, actually.
- 28:49Speaker 1: Really throw him off the scene.
- 28:50Speaker 2: You do that.
- 28:50Speaker 3: That's what Ash does.
- 28:51Speaker 1: That's what I do. I always say.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Can I just, was that a joke?
- 28:55Speaker 1: No.
- 28:56Speaker 3: No, he actually does it when he picked up this
- 28:58Speaker 3: table that you're sitting at.
- 28:59Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I always say when I leave a coffee order, I'm like,
- 29:02Speaker 1: Matty J.
- 29:03Speaker 2: We do look pretty similar, to be honest.
- 29:04Speaker 1: No, I just do it because it's fun.
- 29:05Speaker 2: But we also have, like, we've morphed into the same person.
- 29:08Speaker 1: You've morphed into me.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Yes.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Do you get that a lot, though? Do people always say?
- 29:14Speaker 2: No, no, I fucking love it. People are like, it
- 29:16Speaker 2: must be annoying. And I'm like, no, it's fucking.
- 29:18Speaker 1: People always say to me, oh, I thought you were taller.
- 29:22Speaker 2: You're a big boy.
- 29:23Speaker 1: I have to stand on a sandbag every time we
- 29:25Speaker 1: do a photo shoot. That's not fun.
- 29:27Speaker 2: So Farron and Maxie, I think, was his kid's name.
- 29:30Speaker 2: And he was like, no, listen, because. I don't have
- 29:32Speaker 2: many male supporters, I'll be honest. It's normally Leanne.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Yeah, you want Leanne. I prefer Leanne. It's the 50-year-old
- 29:38Speaker 1: mums who are like. like, I love you.
- 29:40Speaker 2: I love Matty John.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Followed you from day one.
- 29:42Speaker 2: So I was like, I asked him for a photo.
- 29:44Speaker 2: I was like.
- 29:48Speaker 1: Yes, you can have a photo with me.
- 29:50Speaker 2: I was like, can I take a pic? And he
- 29:52Speaker 2: was like, oh, God.
- 29:53Speaker 1: This happens all the time. He was like, this is embarrassing.
- 29:57Speaker 2: And I ran home. He was like, Laura, you'll never
- 29:58Speaker 2: guess what happened.
- 29:59Speaker 1: I met someone in the wild. He didn't run home.
- 30:00Speaker 3: He skipped home.
- 30:01Speaker 1: I know.
- 30:03Speaker 2: I fucking did.
- 30:03Speaker 1: I did.
- 30:05Speaker 2: And then to Terry, who he's ex-military. I was like, Terry,
- 30:08Speaker 2: you'll never believe what happened. He was like, oh, fucking hell.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Here he is again, guys.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Anyway, so Terry, nice guy.
- 30:16Speaker 5: Dota?
- 30:17Speaker 1: Any Dutch friends out there?
- 30:19Speaker 2: I don't think he knows what podcasting is. So he
- 30:23Speaker 2: was a bit confused as to what I do as
- 30:26Speaker 2: a job. But it was nice to see Terry.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Good to see him. Good to hear. I'm jealous, actually.
- 30:31Speaker 1: I want to go to Magnetic Island or somewhere up there.
- 30:34Speaker 1: You can't swim, though.
- 30:35Speaker 2: No, you can. You can?
- 30:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Yeah. They do have.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Depends on what time of year.
- 30:41Speaker 2: They do get the season of jellyfish.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Would you risk it, though, out of season? Because they've
- 30:45Speaker 1: been found as low as. What, Lismore?
- 30:47Speaker 3: You can suit up.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know why I said Lismore. That's inland.
- 30:50Speaker 1: There's heaps of jellyfish out there.
- 30:51Speaker 2: But I was like, uh-huh, yeah, Lismore is very good.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Walking down the street, they're like, oh, they're here, the jellyfish.
- 30:58Speaker 1: They're just like Rastafarians.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Yeah, man. Lots of swagger. No, you can swim. You
- 31:06Speaker 2: can swim. Sometimes there are sharks, but I swam. There's
- 31:10Speaker 2: sharks in Bondi. Hey, whoa. You leave Bondi.

- 31:52Speaker 3: There's been a lot of international donors come out of
- 31:54Speaker 3: the woodworks.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, a little Dutchie.

- 32:15Speaker 2: Thanks for listening in Dutch.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Oh, that's nice.
- 32:17Speaker 2: She didn't write back.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Did you type it with your hands?
- 32:21Speaker 2: Very good.
- 32:22Speaker 5: But then our inbox was flooded with Dutchies saying, hey,
- 32:25Speaker 5: and I was.
- 32:25Speaker 1: Like, you guys should all meet up. Define flooded.
- 32:28Speaker 2: Three people.
- 32:31Speaker 1: More than like Matt's comment.
- 32:32Speaker 3: More than five.
- 32:33Speaker 1: More than five.
- 32:34Speaker 3: And then the Germans, Canadians, heaps came out.
- 32:37Speaker 2: The Germans?
- 32:38Speaker 3: The Germans.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Hey, if you're German, wask it up. Wask it up.
- 32:42Speaker 2: What's that? Mein Bruder.
- 32:44Speaker 1: What about Dankeschön, Schlumpa. Can ich es haben? That means.
- 32:48Speaker 2: It's thank you something, something, something.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Thank you, ma'am. Now can I please have some ice cream? Oh.
- 32:52Speaker 1: I think it's thank you, slut. Can I please have
- 32:53Speaker 1: some ice cream? I don't know. Why do we always
- 32:55Speaker 1: know the dirty words?
- 32:57Speaker 3: That's not dirty.
- 32:58Speaker 2: That's rude. Wie kann ich einen helfen?
- 33:00Speaker 1: Cut that out. All right, moving on. Are we still in?
- 33:04Speaker 1: Is this housekeeping?
- 33:04Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 33:05Speaker 1: Matt, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Is it?
- 33:07Speaker 5: There you go.
- 33:08Speaker 1: October. All of October. October long.
- 33:11Speaker 2: May I ask, are we telling women to get checked?
- 33:15Speaker 3: To check their breasts.
- 33:16Speaker 2: To check their breasts.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Check your breasts.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Yeah, which is very easy to do. Just do it.
- 33:22Speaker 3: I can see you guys like it.
- 33:23Speaker 2: I'm not going to make a joke.
- 33:26Speaker 1: If you don't want to check your breasts.
- 33:28Speaker 2: Don't, don't, don't, don't say that.
- 33:31Speaker 1: Get a doctor to check them for you. A GP,
- 33:33Speaker 1: your GP.
- 33:34Speaker 5: Or a partner.
- 33:35Speaker 1: Or a partner.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Do you check your breasts? Sorry.
- 33:39Speaker 1: This is serious.
- 33:40Speaker 3: You really struggled with it.
- 33:40Speaker 1: This is serious.
- 33:41Speaker 3: I actually don't do it as much as I should,
- 33:43Speaker 3: but you should do it every single month.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Just what?
- 33:45Speaker 1: Like properly.
- 33:45Speaker 3: You need to like really check.
- 33:48Speaker 5: No, no, because it's actually four quadrants make up the breast.
- 33:52Speaker 1: I've always said the breasts had more than one quadrant.
- 33:55Speaker 2: What's your favorite quadrant?
- 33:56Speaker 1: I like all four or eight.
- 33:59Speaker 5: So it's really easy to feel if there's a lump
- 34:01Speaker 5: or a bump in the main bit, but if you
- 34:03Speaker 5: check around the sides as well, that's also part of
- 34:05Speaker 5: the breast.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Yes, don't get confused with ribs.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Yeah. My uncle actually had breast cancer.
- 34:10Speaker 1: It's very common in men.
- 34:11Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
- 34:13Speaker 1: So men, check your breasts as well. Well, guys, men
- 34:17Speaker 1: have breasts as well.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Okay.
- 34:18Speaker 1: And boobs. Check your boobs.
- 34:21Speaker 2: Get checked.
- 34:22Speaker 3: Very good.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Okay, moving on. Thank you. Speaking of breast, Matt, last
- 34:26Speaker 1: week we were talking about how women get more cuddles
- 34:28Speaker 1: because they don't have stubble. And then we also came
- 34:30Speaker 1: to the conclusion they also have breasts.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Correct.
- 34:32Speaker 1: And it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so make sure
- 34:35Speaker 1: you love ones. Check your breasts. But I stumbled across
- 34:37Speaker 1: something that I want to show you that I thought
- 34:40Speaker 1: would be fitting, if you don't mind. Please. Is it breasts?
- 34:45Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 34:46Speaker 1: You can read it out to the audience.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Inventor creates a unique pillow designed to help people feel
- 34:50Speaker 2: calm and relaxed. It's just a pair of boobs.
- 34:54Speaker 1: It's a pillow shaped as a pair of breasts. Thoughts?
- 34:57Speaker 3: And actually someone in the comments said, does it really
- 34:59Speaker 3: need the nipples?
- 35:00Speaker 1: Yes.
- 35:01Speaker 2: And that got 20,000 likes? Oh, for God's sake. Can't
- 35:05Speaker 2: fucking do it. You don't know what people will laugh at.
- 35:07Speaker 1: You should copy and paste that comment and put it
- 35:10Speaker 1: into Dave's and be like, are the nipples necessary? Just
- 35:13Speaker 1: to see what happens. But yeah, do you like it?
- 35:15Speaker 2: Do you know what? Can I just say there has
- 35:17Speaker 2: been an influx of products that are like, it's like
- 35:21Speaker 2: the old Dano's Direct TV ads where, you know, it
- 35:24Speaker 2: used to get all, like our parents used to get
- 35:26Speaker 2: sucked in and be like, do you need help chopping
- 35:28Speaker 2: your veggies? It's like that, but the modern day version
- 35:31Speaker 2: is social media ads where it's all AI.
- 35:34Speaker 1: And I accidentally swipe on it and then all of
- 35:36Speaker 1: a sudden I'm at a website that has like every
- 35:38Speaker 1: single 3D printed thing imaginable to man.
- 35:41Speaker 2: I get sucked in. I'm like, oh, that's pretty good.
- 35:43Speaker 1: I could use a set of breasts.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Well, when you sent it to me, I thought it
- 35:47Speaker 3: was AI or fake, so I checked it and it.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Actually is legit. It's legit.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Guys, can we buy one?
- 35:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got one.
- 35:53Speaker 2: For the office.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Well, I would say get two then.
- 35:56Speaker 1: We can share.
- 35:57Speaker 2: We can share.
- 35:57Speaker 1: One breast each. I'll take four quadrants and you take
- 36:00Speaker 1: the other four.
- 36:00Speaker 2: Yeah, great. Can we please?
- 36:02Speaker 5: Yes.
- 36:03Speaker 1: The answer is yes.
- 36:04Speaker 6: Great.
- 36:04Speaker 1: What colour do you want?
- 36:06Speaker 2: There's options?
- 36:06Speaker 1: I don't know. Why don't we make two doting dad's
- 36:10Speaker 1: breast pillows?
- 36:11Speaker 2: I'm not going to stop you if you want to
- 36:13Speaker 2: do that.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Consider it done.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Add it to the list.
- 36:15Speaker 1: 2050, you'll be ready. Hey, Vic, you have got a
- 36:19Speaker 1: competition for the doters out there.
- 36:21Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an exciting one, actually. So if you
- 36:23Speaker 5: have a best friend who you would love to have
- 36:25Speaker 5: a photo shoot with, you can actually win a photo shoot.
- 36:29Speaker 5: And it's all inspired by the photo shoot that we
- 36:31Speaker 5: did down on the beach in Ulladulla, which everyone just loved.
- 36:34Speaker 3: 1.4 million.
- 36:37Speaker 5: I think it's gotten even higher than that now.
- 36:39Speaker 1: Is this the one where Matt was having a great
- 36:41Speaker 1: time and it looked like I didn't want to be there?
- 36:42Speaker 3: There were some photos you looked happy.
- 36:45Speaker 2: The one where you're on my back, you're very happy.
- 36:47Speaker 2: I'm giving you a big piggyback.
- 36:48Speaker 1: You'd be happy too if you didn't have to walk anymore.
- 36:51Speaker 3: That's Lily every day.
- 36:54Speaker 5: But Movember has jumped on board and they are offering
- 36:57Speaker 5: a free shoot with me wherever you are in Australia.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Oh, God.
- 37:01Speaker 1: So we're going to lose you to, unless you're in Perth. Yeah.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Because you know how we feel about you.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Love, we love the Perthies. Shout out to the Perthies.
- 37:09Speaker 5: All you have to do to enter is DM at
- 37:13Speaker 5: MovemberAU with your bromance story, sharing how a mate has
- 37:17Speaker 5: supported you through life. They're looking for stories that celebrate
- 37:20Speaker 5: male friendship, showing up for each other and being a
- 37:22Speaker 5: bloody good mate.
- 37:23Speaker 3: Having a great moustache is also a bonus.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Wow.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Can we enter again?
- 37:28Speaker 1: We can.
- 37:28Speaker 2: I will. Imagine if we won, Vic, and we're like, hey.
- 37:31Speaker 1: Also, congratulations to you, Vic, for you've made this come
- 37:34Speaker 1: to life off the back of a photo shoot that
- 37:36Speaker 1: we were just mucking around. So congratulations to you and
- 37:38Speaker 1: well done.
- 37:39Speaker 5: Well, it's really congratulations to you guys because they've just
- 37:41Speaker 5: seen those photos. Thank you.
- 37:42Speaker 2: I'll take it. We're just all jerking each other off here.
- 37:46Speaker 2: One big jerk circle. This is great.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Circle jerk is the correct term, Matt.
- 37:51Speaker 5: But the images from that photo shoot will also be
- 37:54Speaker 5: used in the Movember campaign. So your photos with your
- 37:56Speaker 5: friends could end up on billboards as well, which is
- 37:59Speaker 5: very exciting.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Do we have any update on our billboard?
- 38:01Speaker 3: It's in the process.
- 38:03Speaker 1: They haven't found the bus shelter they want to put
- 38:05Speaker 1: it on yet. LAUGHTER Literally.
- 38:09Speaker 5: I did tell them that you guys do want to
- 38:10Speaker 5: get a photo with it when it does happen.
- 38:13Speaker 3: So they're like, ooh, let's get it somewhere good.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Yeah, there's one above us. Yeah. I want that one.
- 38:17Speaker 1: You should. You'd say, hey, just so you know.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Oh, my God, imagine if we were on the building.
- 38:22Speaker 1: That would be amazing. The whole building.
- 38:23Speaker 3: But the giveaway is open to men.
- 38:26Speaker 5: Women can nominate a man for it, but the photo
- 38:29Speaker 5: shoot is for two male friends.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Romance.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:32Speaker 5: So keeping with the focus on celebrating male friendship and
- 38:35Speaker 5: just mates who show up for each other like you guys.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Very good. I think it's a great initiative and well done, Vic.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Good stuff. Good, good, good stuff. Now, while I've got you,
- 38:44Speaker 1: do you mind giving us some breaking news?
- 38:45Speaker 5: I do have some very good breaking news today, actually,
- 38:48Speaker 5: and I would love your thoughts on it. So the
- 38:50Speaker 5: contraceptive pill for men could be on shelves by 2031.
- 38:55Speaker 5: So new contraceptive options for men could be on the
- 38:58Speaker 5: market within the next few years, according to the World
- 39:01Speaker 5: Health Organization. Several hormonal and non-hormonal methods are already being
- 39:05Speaker 5: tested in clinical trials, with the WHO now setting out
- 39:08Speaker 5: what it wants future products to look like.
- 39:10Speaker 3: What do you think about that?
- 39:12Speaker 1: I left a comment. Would you like to know what
- 39:13Speaker 1: my comment was? Please. I wrote, just get a vasectomy,
- 39:16Speaker 1: you cowards. That's what I wrote.
- 39:18Speaker 2: That's fucking good. See?
- 39:20Speaker 1: That's what you call a joke.
- 39:21Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's more of a statement.
- 39:23Speaker 1: A statement, yes. It's factual. It's factual.
- 39:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:26Speaker 1: How did it go?
- 39:26Speaker 2: Did you get any hate?
- 39:28Speaker 1: I honestly have so many viral comments. that I don't
- 39:30Speaker 1: know where to start.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Oh, God, he's arrogant.
- 39:32Speaker 5: Hmm.
- 39:33Speaker 1: I don't know. I actually forgot.
- 39:34Speaker 2: We've had a pretty good run, men, haven't we?
- 39:38Speaker 1: Yes. Look, we have it pretty easy.
- 39:40Speaker 2: We have had to put up with condoms.
- 39:42Speaker 1: It's not.
- 39:43Speaker 3: So do we.
- 39:43Speaker 2: That's a joke.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Fuck.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Actually, so do we, yeah. A lot of the load,
- 39:51Speaker 1: if you will.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Harden the pun.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Yeah, is carried by mum. That whole sentence sounded terrible.
- 39:57Speaker 1: So take that out.
- 39:58Speaker 3: That's staying in.
- 40:00Speaker 1: I think we have had it easy for a long time.
- 40:03Speaker 1: The least we could do is snip it. It's not
- 40:06Speaker 1: that hard.
- 40:07Speaker 3: But what if you still want kids?
- 40:08Speaker 2: Let's turn back the clock. Turn back the clock here.
- 40:11Speaker 2: We're now seven years earlier. Before you've had kids, before
- 40:16Speaker 2: you've had a vasectomy, you don't want to have kids,
- 40:18Speaker 2: would you take the pill?
- 40:20Speaker 1: If I don't want to have kids?
- 40:21Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not ready for kids.
- 40:23Speaker 3: You do want them in the future.
- 40:24Speaker 1: If my wife said to me, hey, look, I've been
- 40:27Speaker 1: on the pill, like, There's obviously time before me that
- 40:29Speaker 1: she was on the pill. It wasn't just all me
- 40:31Speaker 1: who told her to be on the pill, okay? So
- 40:33Speaker 1: if it came up.
- 40:34Speaker 2: So defensive.
- 40:38Speaker 1: It wasn't me. Okay. She wanted to stick them up.
- 40:44Speaker 1: I'm not going down for this.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Anyway, look, if she said to me, look, I'm sweating
- 40:50Speaker 2: over there.
- 40:51Speaker 1: I don't want to get in trouble. I would. I'd
- 40:54Speaker 1: take the pill, yeah, for sure. I'd take it.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Very high pitch. Not.
- 40:58Speaker 1: No, I would. And I think it's the least we
- 41:00Speaker 1: could do. Thank you.
- 41:01Speaker 3: What would you do?
- 41:02Speaker 1: That's what people want to hear, right?
- 41:04Speaker 2: There is no way on earth I would take that pill.
- 41:09Speaker 1: He's like getting giddy. I'm going to cut it like that.
- 41:12Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I would do.
- 41:14Speaker 4: I'd snort it. I'd double down on it. I'd be
- 41:19Speaker 4: walking around repelling humans with how much I've taken. I
- 41:23Speaker 4: can smell it on him. He's sterile.
- 41:26Speaker 1: I'm walking around like this.
- 41:29Speaker 2: I would have no issues whatsoever taking it. I stupidly.
- 41:34Speaker 1: But would you snort it, Matt?
- 41:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I always thought the pill was kind of...
- 41:40Speaker 2: I was like, oh, the girls get to take the pill.
- 41:42Speaker 2: I thought it was like a lucky thing.
- 41:44Speaker 1: What?
- 41:45Speaker 2: Now I know that it's not. Now I know that
- 41:48Speaker 2: it's not.
- 41:48Speaker 1: It's so naive as young. Okay, look, if you're a
- 41:53Speaker 1: young man listening to this right now, you don't know
- 41:56Speaker 1: how fucking good you've got it, bro. If your partner
- 41:59Speaker 1: is taking the pill, you don't know how good you've
- 42:01Speaker 1: got it. I'll leave it at that.
- 42:03Speaker 3: I would add to that, though.
- 42:05Speaker 5: Men can have sex without fear of getting someone pregnant
- 42:09Speaker 5: because they can take the control.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Yeah. It's great.
- 42:12Speaker 3: So I actually think it's a good thing.
- 42:13Speaker 5: So there's a, you know, there's so many men who
- 42:15Speaker 5: sleep around, like they actually have control to not impregnate women.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Yeah. Can I put it out there?
- 42:21Speaker 2: Can I put it out there? Do you think it
- 42:24Speaker 2: runs the risk of men being like, oh, yeah, yeah,
- 42:26Speaker 2: I'm on the pill when they're not?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:30Speaker 2: Is that?
- 42:30Speaker 5: Hey.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Well.
- 42:31Speaker 2: Playing devil's advocate here.
- 42:33Speaker 5: No, that is a really interesting point because men are
- 42:35Speaker 5: terrible at remembering how.
- 42:36Speaker 2: To do anything. Whoa.
- 42:38Speaker 1: That's sexist.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Not all men. Thank you.
- 42:40Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. We're not allowed to say that either.
- 42:43Speaker 5: The reason I brought this up was because it says
- 42:44Speaker 5: about 48% of pregnancies worldwide are unplanned and 60% of
- 42:49Speaker 5: these unplanned pregnancies are terminated. So I think this is
- 42:53Speaker 5: actually aimed at helping maybe developing countries.
- 42:56Speaker 2: Yes, very, very smart.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Which is why the WHO is leading it.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Can I ask you, as a woman with a pill,
- 43:02Speaker 1: I know there's various different types of pills. What are
- 43:06Speaker 1: just some of the side effects that a young woman
- 43:08Speaker 1: can face in the early days of taking a pill?
- 43:12Speaker 1: And then what are the side effects of this new
- 43:14Speaker 1: pill that have been discovered?
- 43:15Speaker 2: Can I just say, great question.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Should have saved that for a guest. I know. That
- 43:21Speaker 1: whole Joy episode, I'm like, mm-hmm. Everyone's like, is Ash
- 43:24Speaker 1: even there? I was here. I just asked the silly question.
- 43:30Speaker 2: And Joy, when it comes to the pill.
- 43:33Speaker 1: Would you take it? He's like, well, it wouldn't matter now.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Side effects.
- 43:37Speaker 1: Go, Vic. Weight gain.
- 43:39Speaker 3: There's also positive side effects.
- 43:40Speaker 5: A lot of reasons women do go on the pill
- 43:42Speaker 5: is to prevent really painful periods.
- 43:46Speaker 3: It can help your skin. But you can also gain
- 43:48Speaker 3: a lot of weight. You can have really big mood swings.
- 43:51Speaker 5: It affects your hormones, which can then affect all parts
- 43:54Speaker 5: of your body, your hair growth, your skin, nails, everything.
- 43:58Speaker 5: The biggest thing I think women have a problem with
- 44:00Speaker 5: is how it affects our moods and our hormones because
- 44:03Speaker 5: as we've learned from Jackie from the Nourish Cycle, women's
- 44:06Speaker 5: hormones are like this going up and down every month.
- 44:09Speaker 5: And so the pill, it can kind of even it
- 44:12Speaker 5: out in a good circumstance, but in a bad circumstance,
- 44:15Speaker 5: if it really clashes with your hormones, it can be
- 44:18Speaker 5: like this daily.
- 44:19Speaker 1: It's crazy. And also women, some women, I mean like athletes,
- 44:23Speaker 1: they might use it to skip periods and stuff, right? Mm-hmm.
- 44:26Speaker 5: Yeah, people have been known to do that. I personally
- 44:30Speaker 5: didn't like to do that.
- 44:32Speaker 1: There you go. Too much information?
- 44:33Speaker 2: No, please, no.
- 44:34Speaker 1: That's fine.
- 44:35Speaker 2: We'll talk about this later. Any side effects of the
- 44:39Speaker 2: proposed pill?
- 44:41Speaker 1: How dare you steal my question?
- 44:42Speaker 2: Sorry.
- 44:42Speaker 1: You bastard, that's all I had.
- 44:44Speaker 5: Well, it's really interesting because it says other hurdles in
- 44:46Speaker 5: previous trials have included side effects with acne, weight gain
- 44:49Speaker 5: and impacted mood.
- 44:50Speaker 1: So same as women. There you go, same thing. Imagine
- 44:52Speaker 1: if it was like side effects are increased size of penis. Oh, no.
- 44:55Speaker 2: I'll take it.
- 44:56Speaker 1: Oh, no. It's like that's just our luck.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Well, that's about bloody time. Who are we going to blame?
- 45:03Speaker 2: The scientists.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Absolutely. And I think like I don't see what as
- 45:07Speaker 1: a man, if April turned around and said, hey, I've
- 45:09Speaker 1: been on the pill now for X amount of years,
- 45:11Speaker 1: do you mind? sharing the load for a while I
- 45:14Speaker 1: think it'd be like yeah okay what's the big deal
- 45:16Speaker 1: unless I turned around and said look babe we're going
- 45:18Speaker 1: to talk to you about this but I was thinking
- 45:20Speaker 1: about would you consider starting a family but if you're
- 45:23Speaker 1: like no I don't want to have kids then just
- 45:25Speaker 1: a pill you lose you probably pop worse pills on
- 45:27Speaker 1: the weekend you're fucking dead.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Shit but would you pop a pill so careless.
- 45:30Speaker 6: Like um yeah what sorry finish the question but would
- 45:37Speaker 6: you pop a pill so effortlessly if it could lead
- 45:39Speaker 6: to weight gain skin acne and mood swings.
- 45:43Speaker 5: Yeah i mean it's easy to just say you take
- 45:45Speaker 5: one but if you knew they were the consequences would
- 45:47Speaker 5: you i don't.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Need a pill to gain weight don't you worry uh
- 45:49Speaker 1: wake up is that what you're gonna say uh It's
- 45:54Speaker 1: definitely be something to like, what can I do to
- 45:56Speaker 1: help combat the side effects? But if it's that important
- 46:00Speaker 1: and it is, and April asked me, then yeah, like
- 46:04Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if you're like married
- 46:06Speaker 1: nine years today, if you're married to someone, then obviously
- 46:10Speaker 1: the way they feel about something matters too. And their
- 46:12Speaker 1: input matters as well. It's not just like, I'm not
- 46:14Speaker 1: taking it for me. It's like, well, I've been taking
- 46:16Speaker 1: it for us for years.
- 46:17Speaker 3: You're a good man.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Also just quickly, nine years?
- 46:21Speaker 1: Nine years married today. Thank you. Thank you. Well done.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Did you let me out of the basement this morning
- 46:27Speaker 1: to come and record this podcast? No. Nine good years.
- 46:31Speaker 2: How are you going to say that?
- 46:32Speaker 1: She's a good woman.
- 46:34Speaker 3: She is.
- 46:35Speaker 1: I'm going to China today, actually, after this. With? Me.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Okay.
- 46:39Speaker 5: Me only.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Me only. It's just the way it worked out. Honestly,
- 46:44Speaker 1: booked it and I forgot.
- 46:46Speaker 2: No, you fucking didn't.
- 46:48Speaker 1: I did, I did, I did. But it was discussed.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Do you want to retract that statement, Vic?
- 46:53Speaker 1: No, I am a good man.
- 46:54Speaker 2: You are a good man.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Kind of. But I wasn't, because I'm going to Singapore
- 46:59Speaker 1: on Saturday. I was going to be here this week,
- 47:03Speaker 1: but April and I had a discussion and something came
- 47:05Speaker 1: up and I took the opportunity to do that. And
- 47:07Speaker 1: she was like, yeah, fine. Because good marriages are all
- 47:09Speaker 1: about compromise. And nine years of compromise.
- 47:11Speaker 2: About what, sorry?
- 47:12Speaker 1: Compromise. What did you think I said?
- 47:14Speaker 2: Control.
- 47:16Speaker 3: And when you love someone, it doesn't matter what date
- 47:18Speaker 3: you celebrate.
- 47:19Speaker 1: Exactly. We celebrate every day. Do you?
- 47:22Speaker 2: Yes.
- 47:23Speaker 5: We.
- 47:23Speaker 3: How's the kissing competition going?
- 47:25Speaker 2: Don't ask.
- 47:28Speaker 1: It's a competition now?
- 47:29Speaker 5: Oh, sorry.
- 47:30Speaker 1: I kissed you more.
- 47:33Speaker 3: The intimacy challenge.
- 47:36Speaker 1: I feel like we don't fuck all on this episode
- 47:38Speaker 1: in terms of it's all just been housekeeping. We're at
- 47:42Speaker 1: the age now where Macy is, and she's been doing
- 47:45Speaker 1: dance and stuff like that, so she's really into doing
- 47:48Speaker 1: little concerts for us and stuff like that, as you
- 47:51Speaker 1: would be aware. You have all girls in your house.
- 47:53Speaker 1: Oscar gets involved too, and they're currently in love with
- 47:56Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. With all the Michael Jackson stuff that happened
- 47:59Speaker 1: this year, with the movie and stuff like that, the
- 48:01Speaker 1: playlist has been around. And, of course, it's timeless music,
- 48:04Speaker 1: as we know. Beat It, Dirty Diana, all that sort
- 48:07Speaker 1: of stuff, timeless.
- 48:08Speaker 2: He's very good. I mean, as a person, as an artist.
- 48:12Speaker 1: As an artist, great. As a person, jury's still out
- 48:14Speaker 1: on that. I don't really know. But as an artist, yeah.
- 48:17Speaker 1: So the kids are really into his music and his
- 48:19Speaker 1: music only. Just to be very clear on that. And
- 48:24Speaker 1: I thought, well, they want to do a concert. As
- 48:26Speaker 1: a dad, I am now really interested in automating my house.
- 48:31Speaker 1: I'm really into smart bulbs and smart lights. Oh, God.
- 48:35Speaker 1: My whole house is automated.
- 48:37Speaker 3: Such a dad.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Fucking hell. How sad is getting old?
- 48:42Speaker 3: The intimacy pillow.
- 48:45Speaker 1: If someone turns a light on by the switch, I'm like,
- 48:47Speaker 1: don't do that. I have an app. I have an
- 48:51Speaker 1: app for that stuff now. Kids are like, oh, can't
- 48:54Speaker 1: touch anything. If someone turns the light on illegally, but
- 48:58Speaker 1: I can turn the lights on from anywhere in the house,
- 49:00Speaker 1: it's amazing.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Every bulb?
- 49:02Speaker 1: And any colour. So what I've done was I set
- 49:06Speaker 1: it up so that we could have a proper concert.
- 49:08Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a bit.
- 49:09Speaker 2: Oh, amazing.
- 49:10Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a bit of a.
- 49:11Speaker 2: Can it flash?
- 49:12Speaker 1: I'll show you. Please. You can press play.
- 49:14Speaker 5: This is just.
- 49:14Speaker 1: Just be mindful. I have a total of 10 minutes
- 49:17Speaker 1: of this video, but here's a quick 10-second clip of
- 49:20Speaker 1: me and the kids.
- 49:33Speaker 2: Oh, she's very good.
- 49:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 49:36Speaker 1: April. See you later. But.
- 49:39Speaker 3: Wow.
- 49:39Speaker 1: So what I did was I got all the lights
- 49:41Speaker 1: to go flashy party mode and then I got your
- 49:44Speaker 1: old iPhone because I had them at my place and
- 49:46Speaker 1: got the torch on on top of a tripod so
- 49:48Speaker 1: it was like a down light on whoever was singing,
- 49:50Speaker 1: which was Macy. I've got a solo on a Macy
- 49:52Speaker 1: show later on, like a spotlight. Anyway, so we did
- 49:54Speaker 1: the whole, it was like a five-minute song. He did
- 49:56Speaker 1: make long songs. I was gassed by the end of it.
- 49:59Speaker 1: But their whole personality at the moment, Macy's, is just
- 50:01Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. She's got to wear everything black, covering her hands.
- 50:04Speaker 1: It's a little jacket. I've got a video of her going...
- 50:07Speaker 1: Shaking it, like how he used to like go with
- 50:11Speaker 1: the wind.
- 50:12Speaker 2: I'm annoyed you didn't have April dancing because she used
- 50:14Speaker 2: to be a dancer.
- 50:15Speaker 1: She did used to be a dancer. Next time. I've
- 50:17Speaker 1: got a really good video of me filming Macy, Oscar
- 50:20Speaker 1: being the DJ and also like hyping up and then
- 50:23Speaker 1: I pan over and it's April and she's just eating
- 50:25Speaker 1: her dinner.
- 50:26Speaker 2: And the lot's just like. She's like fucking these bowls.
- 50:30Speaker 1: It's cinema. It's absolute cinema.
- 50:33Speaker 3: I loved Ash in the back playing the mop.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Yeah, the moth.
- 50:36Speaker 2: Ah, very good.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Thank you. That's also the moth killer. But we kill them.
- 50:41Speaker 2: Relocate them.
- 50:42Speaker 1: We relocate them to the bin.
- 50:44Speaker 2: I want to get those bulbs.
- 50:45Speaker 5: Go.
- 50:46Speaker 1: Go down to Bunnings.
- 50:47Speaker 2: How much are they?
- 50:47Speaker 1: Cheap. Well, how much was yours? Yours is a smart bulb.
- 50:50Speaker 2: I can't remember.
- 50:50Speaker 1: I could connect to that smart bulb right now.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Let's do it, guys.
- 50:53Speaker 1: After this, we'll do it.

- 52:14Speaker 1: And we thought, she was like, can I do a
- 52:16Speaker 1: Frozen one? I'm like, yeah, of course you can do
- 52:18Speaker 1: a Frozen one. And she's so excited, okay, and there
- 52:21Speaker 1: is nothing wrong worse than your child being at this
- 52:25Speaker 1: real level of happy excitement and watching it in real
- 52:28Speaker 1: time come crashing down. From what? Let me ask you,
- 52:33Speaker 1: where would you rank stubbing your toe on the pain scale?
- 52:37Speaker 2: Worse than death.
- 52:38Speaker 1: See?
- 52:39Speaker 3: Depends on the toe.
- 52:40Speaker 1: Yeah. So she's like, I want to go outside and
- 52:42Speaker 1: get my heels, like the little fake heels she's got.
- 52:45Speaker 2: Yeah, get it, girl.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Because she wants to put a princess dress on. She's
- 52:48Speaker 1: opened the door up.
- 52:50Speaker 2: In the excitement.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Yeah. The fire door, which is the front door, heavy bastard,
- 52:55Speaker 1: heavy bastard, over her big toe.
- 52:59Speaker 2: Done the nail? Done the nail.
- 53:01Speaker 1: I need to inspect it a day or so later.
- 53:03Speaker 1: She's still limping around. But there is nothing like the
- 53:08Speaker 1: I'm so excited to.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Why, Dad? I'm a good person.
- 53:12Speaker 1: And why couldn't it happen to Oscar? Like Macy, it's
- 53:17Speaker 1: so sad when anything.
- 53:18Speaker 2: Poor Oscar.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's a bit more like.
- 53:20Speaker 2: Robust.
- 53:21Speaker 1: Oh, that's not the right word.
- 53:22Speaker 3: No, boys are sensitive too.
- 53:24Speaker 1: He's a bit more like. Oh, wow. He's a bit
- 53:26Speaker 1: more like. He can run it off like a Kelpie.
- 53:29Speaker 1: He can totally run it off. Macy, not so much.
- 53:31Speaker 1: She just stood there and bellowed. for what felt like
- 53:35Speaker 1: an eternity.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Did you try and get it back on the track
- 53:37Speaker 2: to be like, we can finish the concert? Was the
- 53:39Speaker 2: concert over? You're like, automated lights off.
- 53:41Speaker 1: No, we finished the concert with her being able to do,
- 53:45Speaker 1: I think it was Let It Go, but she was
- 53:47Speaker 1: one-legged and I wasn't as good as.
- 53:49Speaker 2: It could have been.
- 53:49Speaker 1: It's not the same. Wasn't as good as it could
- 53:51Speaker 1: have been.
- 53:51Speaker 2: No disrespect to any one-legged people out there who listen
- 53:53Speaker 2: to the podcast.
- 53:54Speaker 1: She's got terrible balance.
- 53:55Speaker 3: She's tipping over.
- 53:57Speaker 1: Yeah. So anyway, moral of the story is get some
- 54:01Speaker 1: lights for your house.
- 54:02Speaker 2: Please.
- 54:02Speaker 1: It's cheap.
- 54:03Speaker 2: And watch the doors.

- 54:08Speaker 1: you can turn the lights on from the other room
- 54:09Speaker 1: and they're like.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Great. Yeah, Halloween coming up.
