- 1:25Speaker 1: That's my biggest grace.
- 1:26Speaker 2: I started eating into your nutlegs.
- 1:28Speaker 1: The hospitality sized nutlegs.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Is that it is that what you're not about.
- 1:31Speaker 1: No, no, no, As you know, I've been moving and before.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Sorry I didn't. I didn't know if you.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Were completely different. Wait what we've moved? Before I get
- 1:46Speaker 1: into why I'm cranky. The only thing that went my
- 1:50Speaker 1: way yesterday was a four pack of Stonewood pacific Ale.
- 1:56Speaker 1: After a full day of moving seven o'clock, I think
- 2:00Speaker 1: we kicked off, finished off at four o'clock, put the
- 2:02Speaker 1: footy on it, and I was like, we had to
- 2:05Speaker 1: open the fridge and it was beaming back at me.
- 2:08Speaker 1: There was sunshine.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Did you know what was er? Or was it a
- 2:11Speaker 2: surprise four pack in the new house? It was Frank,
- 2:14Speaker 2: you new landlord, like, where the fuck my stone would gone?
- 2:16Speaker 1: And You're like, shut Frank doesn't drink perfect But no
- 2:22Speaker 1: it was. I think it was just in with all
- 2:24Speaker 1: the food that came over. It's been placed in the fridge,
- 2:27Speaker 1: accidentally cooled down and there it is the pacific Ale.
- 2:31Speaker 2: One of the best. We had a few on the
- 2:33Speaker 2: weekend as well. We did right to that.
- 2:36Speaker 1: That's the first sit down lunch that April and I
- 2:38Speaker 1: have ever been to.
- 2:39Speaker 2: You're welcome, remember, I said to you.
- 2:41Speaker 1: I was like, what do we what do you do there?
- 2:43Speaker 1: I've never eaten sitting down before, like you know what
- 2:46Speaker 1: I mean, like a you know, a nice table chef.
- 2:51Speaker 1: It was beautiful. Food was top shelf.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Very good, and made even better accompanied by a delicious
- 2:58Speaker 2: drop of Stone and Wood Pacific. Well, yes, cheers, my guy.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I'll cheer you up once again.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Hopefully, and thank you to Stone and Wood for making
- 3:07Speaker 1: these episodes possible.
- 3:08Speaker 2: The only way is up from here.
- 3:11Speaker 1: On woods and upwards. But yes, a little bit cranky.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I'm just cranky because I've just had enough of it.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I've just had enough of this landlord. Instead of going
- 3:21Speaker 1: through the usual channels, what you would do is where
- 3:23Speaker 1: you've got you just deal with the real estate agent.
- 3:25Speaker 1: And you know they do it all the time. He's
- 3:27Speaker 1: seeing the move through his eyes as the owner, so
- 3:31Speaker 1: he would go through and be like, well, these guys
- 3:34Speaker 1: have to clean the place. That's fine. I have no
- 3:36Speaker 1: drums with that. I've got a cleaner in there now.
- 3:38Speaker 1: But he's going through and going.
- 3:40Speaker 2: What is your can I ask the cleaner? Because for
- 3:43Speaker 2: those of you who are unaware, we are recording in
- 3:46Speaker 2: Frank's house today, popularly is April's beloved dad and your
- 3:52Speaker 2: cleaners are in there at the moment. You're in there
- 3:55Speaker 2: right now, right now, And so what he's because he
- 3:57Speaker 2: before we started recording your phone was like ding ding
- 4:00Speaker 2: ding dinging. So he's in there with the cleaner.
- 4:03Speaker 1: He's gone in to interrogate the cleaner on what they're doing.
- 4:07Speaker 1: This is what I'm dealing with.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Let the cleaners what I'm.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Working with, right But he's also going through and seeing
- 4:11Speaker 1: things through his eyes as the owner and not the
- 4:14Speaker 1: third party, which should be the estate agent, and go
- 4:17Speaker 1: through and tick off what's been clean whatsoever. So he's
- 4:21Speaker 1: trying to get us too clean as much as possible
- 4:23Speaker 1: for him so he can put it on the market
- 4:25Speaker 1: spick and span. You even though when I moved in
- 4:28Speaker 1: there it was subparer, but we didn't complain.
- 4:30Speaker 2: That's and that's the worst part. Whenever you move into
- 4:32Speaker 2: somewhere new, you never like you're just in the rush
- 4:35Speaker 2: of like you know, getting boxes in there and you're unpacking.
- 4:38Speaker 2: You just want to get it set up. You never
- 4:39Speaker 2: actually go through, like start to finish and take notable
- 4:43Speaker 2: the things that are already broken. So right now, like
- 4:46Speaker 2: stainings that you're like, well that was there when we
- 4:48Speaker 2: moved in. It's like, we'll prove it we're fucking dying because.
- 4:50Speaker 1: We have a photo through the condition report. But the
- 4:52Speaker 1: thing is he had three real estate agents over two
- 4:56Speaker 1: years looking after the place, so he kept changing because
- 4:58Speaker 1: they're probably sick of dealing with it through the agent,
- 5:01Speaker 1: because he's why they have the audacity to ring us
- 5:03Speaker 1: LUF and go, hey, do you guys have a condition
- 5:05Speaker 1: report because we don't have one. Come on, get fucked. Also,
- 5:10Speaker 1: he's got the shits because we vacated today and before
- 5:14Speaker 1: he could get a chance to do any bond claims,
- 5:17Speaker 1: we asked for the bond claim back through the agency
- 5:20Speaker 1: so that he has to chase us for anything. Because
- 5:23Speaker 1: it was kind of like you know what, bro he
- 5:24Speaker 1: was always going to be nitpicky at everything, Like he's like,
- 5:27Speaker 1: you got to clean the debris from the back courtyard, brovious,
- 5:30Speaker 1: Now wind it is outside and the debris is what leaves.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Are you stupid?
- 5:34Speaker 2: It's a hurricane right now.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's like you need to come and clean
- 5:37Speaker 1: the debris. Get fucked over it anyway. I don't want
- 5:42Speaker 1: to talk about this while I'm.
- 5:43Speaker 2: No therapist, but it sounds like you're annoyed.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I am annoyed. Also, what he's paying for is just
- 5:50Speaker 1: moving in general. Let's put him aside. Let's not make
- 5:52Speaker 1: this episode about him.
- 5:53Speaker 2: I told you, bro, you should have got removalists. No, no,
- 5:56Speaker 2: you should have hide the help it was.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I had to mate help me. Essay had a truck.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It was pretty easy because it all went into story.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I'm annoyed you did nasty by the way.
- 6:04Speaker 1: I needed someone stronger. Ah, fuck you do you have
- 6:09Speaker 1: a truck?
- 6:10Speaker 2: I can get one.
- 6:11Speaker 1: How maids you want the biggest truck?
- 6:14Speaker 2: I look at I've got Look at those calluses. That's
- 6:17Speaker 2: from jerking off edging. I can lift tables.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Nice, you've been working out with those hands I have.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I knew this was coming, and I was like, I'm
- 6:27Speaker 2: going to get myself like removalless fit for the occasion.
- 6:31Speaker 2: And then I was waiting for the phone call. I
- 6:32Speaker 2: was sitting there next to my mobile phone. Anything any
- 6:34Speaker 2: second now, the bone will go off and it'll be
- 6:36Speaker 2: ash asking for help. And it never came.
- 6:39Speaker 1: The good thing is we were moving into somewhere else
- 6:41Speaker 1: at the end of next month, so it can help me.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Then got another month of.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Training, very busy, very busy. I feel like it's an
- 6:48Speaker 2: elite level of friendship. Once you're being asked to move house.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I don't like to ask because then they have to
- 6:55Speaker 1: help them when they need to be I was like,
- 6:57Speaker 1: oh fuck.
- 6:58Speaker 2: That's when you cut them off.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Just we're moving house. Also have deleted his number.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Well because the house you saw, because everyone must be
- 7:07Speaker 2: waiting with baited breath, real worried. Ash. I've had many
- 7:10Speaker 2: people message me saying is Ash okay, will the family
- 7:12Speaker 2: be homeless? And I'm happy to say no, the house
- 7:17Speaker 2: that you saw last week.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Oh yes, we have decided to move into that house. Yeah,
- 7:21Speaker 1: which is a friend about So shout out to Jim
- 7:23Speaker 1: and Amy they're probably not listening, but shout out to
- 7:27Speaker 1: you guys coming in at the last moment rescuing the Wixes.
- 7:32Speaker 2: It always works out, it does too good people.
- 7:36Speaker 1: That's true to good people, true. But I just want this, honestly,
- 7:39Speaker 1: I just want this landlord to get off my back,
- 7:42Speaker 1: just go away. I even said on the last message,
- 7:45Speaker 1: can you please communicate through the real estate agent moving
- 7:47Speaker 1: forward because I'm done with you?
- 7:49Speaker 2: And he was like, okay, and you stop messaging A
- 7:52Speaker 2: I'll stop messaging.
- 7:52Speaker 1: You said bye.
- 7:55Speaker 2: So this is it okay, Okay, see you later.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I spent the whole day. Yes, are they moving?
- 8:00Speaker 1: And you just you accumulate so much shit with kids.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I'm not a holder. Far from it. Although even old clothes,
- 8:07Speaker 2: clothes from when the kids are one and two, obviously
- 8:10Speaker 2: they're three and five now, I've been told and I
- 8:13Speaker 2: don't want to throw I don't want to throw it out.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I want to throw away the memories. I find that hard.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Maybe it's just me.
- 8:19Speaker 1: In some instances you're like yeah, but then like you've
- 8:22Speaker 1: got to just be ruthless, and.
- 8:24Speaker 2: You threw away Macy, she's moved out.
- 8:28Speaker 1: People going like, oh, moving is a night man, they've
- 8:30Speaker 1: got no kids. I'm like, don't you fucking dare talk
- 8:32Speaker 1: to me about how it's a nightmare for you have
- 8:35Speaker 1: a couple of kids and then move a house because
- 8:37Speaker 1: you're like, I filled up a whole storage which can
- 8:42Speaker 1: fit a whole car and more. And then higher up
- 8:46Speaker 1: apparent allegedly, so.
- 8:47Speaker 2: What's clogging up your storage?
- 8:49Speaker 1: First of all the main pieces of furniture that we
- 8:51Speaker 1: need for the new place that we can't store here,
- 8:53Speaker 1: that's hot, and then like that's got one side, it's
- 8:56Speaker 1: boxes and box.
- 8:58Speaker 2: A lot of toy throw them out.
- 9:01Speaker 1: April threw so much stuff out, burn them because the best.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Thing is, my friend, kids are very dumb. They forget. No,
- 9:10Speaker 2: he's not.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I'm going to challenge you on this because you're coming
- 9:14Speaker 1: across stuff right and you've got no emotional attachment to it,
- 9:18Speaker 1: and you don't know that your kid has an emotional
- 9:20Speaker 1: attachment to it. But then you're like throw it out,
- 9:22Speaker 1: like yesterday, I don't know if you remember the remote
- 9:25Speaker 1: control skateboard Ninja turtle.
- 9:28Speaker 2: How can I forget that's.
- 9:29Speaker 1: In storage right, which we don't think he's just that
- 9:32Speaker 1: attached to it. And then yesterday he's got plenty of
- 9:34Speaker 1: toys to get and then essay, out of nowhere he's
- 9:37Speaker 1: pulled the actual remote control bit out and goes, where
- 9:40Speaker 1: is it? Oh my god, it's in storage. I don't
- 9:43Speaker 1: want it to be in storage, like he thinks it's
- 9:45Speaker 1: gone forever. So then you've got to go try and
- 9:47Speaker 1: explain to hus like, look, in a couple of weeks,
- 9:50Speaker 1: we can move to.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Get it out from storage.
- 9:52Speaker 1: No no, no, no, not opening that can of worms.
- 9:56Speaker 1: As soon as you open that can of worms, it'll
- 9:58Speaker 1: be like, just go and get it. Yeah, okay, no, no,
- 10:02Speaker 1: so you've got to be firm, you gotta be fair.
- 10:04Speaker 1: So yeah, yesterday was like, there's still so much in
- 10:08Speaker 1: the house to get out anyway. So then that pile
- 10:11Speaker 1: of the landlord makes Ash cranky.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I feel like the first ten percent of like packing
- 10:16Speaker 2: up is good.
- 10:16Speaker 1: You're like, this is great in progress, good.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Progress, good headway. I'll be done in a day or two.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Fuck it just it gets slower and slower and it's
- 10:26Speaker 2: never ending.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:27Speaker 2: When I spoke to you, excuse me, oh my goodness.
- 10:30Speaker 2: But when I spoke to you.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Yester afternoon, I was a defeated man. I was like,
- 10:34Speaker 1: I'm defeated today you are. I am absolutely defeated. So
- 10:38Speaker 1: let's talk about other things.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Okay, I'll talk about a story that I want to
- 10:43Speaker 2: tell you about.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Please distrack me with something good. It's better be good. Look,
- 10:48Speaker 1: no pressure.
- 10:49Speaker 2: This is a story that is going to sound almost arrogant.
- 10:53Speaker 2: This is very much a story which is tuning my
- 10:56Speaker 2: own horn, and Ash. You know me very well. I
- 10:58Speaker 2: don't like to toot my own horn too much.
- 10:59Speaker 1: I'm setting this up.
- 11:01Speaker 2: I want other people toot my horn. I want to
- 11:04Speaker 2: be laying there as my horn is being tutored. If
- 11:07Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Away, let me edg you.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Okay. So I went down to the local cafe with
- 11:16Speaker 2: Buster the three legged dogs, who I have to say
- 11:19Speaker 2: is an absolute local favorite people.
- 11:23Speaker 1: He's a BONDI icon.
- 11:24Speaker 2: They love them, they love them. It's always awkward as
- 11:26Speaker 2: well when someone is patting your dog, having a moment
- 11:28Speaker 2: with your dog, and you just got to stand there.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And they give you no give he's a good boy.
- 11:33Speaker 1: You're like, I'm a.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Good boy, and so you know, in that moment, I
- 11:38Speaker 2: find it. It's easy, it's less awkward if you make
- 11:40Speaker 2: a bit of conversation. So a few times to a
- 11:43Speaker 2: few different people. You know, I've gotten to know them,
- 11:46Speaker 2: okay because of the dog. Because of the dog.
- 11:48Speaker 1: They really they're your dog's friends and you're like friend
- 11:52Speaker 1: by association.
- 11:53Speaker 2: As I was waiting for my coffee the other day, Sue,
- 11:56Speaker 2: lovely suit. Sue happens to be about eighty. She's come
- 12:00Speaker 2: up to me and eight year old eighty year olds

- 12:11Speaker 2: dementia hasn't taken the joy out of her yet yet.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Great, and so she's.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Having a nice moment with Buster. I did remember, Sue,
- 12:20Speaker 2: and I said, where's your dog suit? Okay, okay, I
- 12:24Speaker 2: shouldn't have asked that question.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Oh she's gone.
- 12:27Speaker 2: She was padding Buster and she was mid pat and
- 12:29Speaker 2: she stopped. She froze, and I thought, oh god, I've
- 12:34Speaker 2: hit a nerve here. She took a big breath and
- 12:37Speaker 2: she said, my dog is no longer with us.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Oh dramatic.
- 12:41Speaker 2: And I said, what happens, Sue? Unfortunately her dog can't
- 12:45Speaker 2: remember the name Jack Russell.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Though, really good friends you are Jack Russell.
- 12:49Speaker 2: He was fifteen he passed away.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Okay, well that's a good innings.

- 12:58Speaker 2: lives by herself. Her son's move away son is living
- 13:01Speaker 2: in Coffs Harbor. I can't remember his name. But if
- 13:05Speaker 2: you're around, call your mom. Give her some help. She's
- 13:08Speaker 2: struggling right now. And I said, sir, will you get
- 13:10Speaker 2: another dog? And she said, I plan on getting another dog.
- 13:13Speaker 2: I want to get a rescue dog. There's four dogs
- 13:15Speaker 2: that I'm looking at right now, Greyhounds, Ash rescue greyhounds

- 13:34Speaker 2: It's out in Penrith, past Penrith, so from Bondy it's
- 13:38Speaker 2: over an hour away.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Have you committed to take you sou out there?
- 13:41Speaker 2: Look as in the moment, in the moment, it's like
- 13:47Speaker 2: just before when I offered to help you move I
- 13:48Speaker 2: don't actually want to help you move house. I'm just
- 13:50Speaker 2: being polite and I appreciate. I got caught up in
- 13:53Speaker 2: the moment. She goes, I can't drive, so I can't

- 14:27Speaker 2: I said take my number. And I said, if you
- 14:33Speaker 2: need someone to drive you out there, I would love
- 14:36Speaker 2: to help out.
- 14:37Speaker 1: You are a great guy. And I was gonna says

- 15:01Speaker 2: two three, the double two three, and it does stunt people.
- 15:04Speaker 2: She did seem a bit confused on the double two three.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I don't know if she's taking it down correctly, but
- 15:10Speaker 2: I've not seen her since. She hasn't messaged, but I'm like, again, yeah,

- 15:48Speaker 1: a ship and he didn't pick it up.
- 15:50Speaker 2: We just we just watched a movie called One Time.

- 15:59Speaker 2: like six hundred Jewish children of World War two, right.
- 16:03Speaker 1: And it sounds like too much of an effort.
- 16:07Speaker 2: And it was an amazing story. So I've just watched
- 16:09Speaker 2: that the night before and so that's still running through
- 16:12Speaker 2: my brain.
- 16:12Speaker 1: What you did is the equivalent, that's the modern day equivalent.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Literally, I was like, I didn't I need to leave
- 16:19Speaker 2: a legacy behind.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I've committed to helping lady, your old lady go out
- 16:22Speaker 1: to Penrith, but I haven't actually said organized a time.
- 16:26Speaker 2: So when a you're thinking next Thursday, oh can't do Thursdays.
- 16:29Speaker 2: Thursday's about Monday. I flat out on Monday.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Wash my hair.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, that's my hair washing day.
- 16:35Speaker 1: I can't go.
- 16:37Speaker 2: We'll do it. See anyone out there, if you see
- 16:40Speaker 2: someone elderly, talk to them, help them out.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Your gaslightinger a little bit bit, a little bit speaking
- 16:47Speaker 1: of gaslighting. Oscar has learnt gaslight me and he's doing
- 16:52Speaker 1: a very good job. So before we move into this house,
- 16:55Speaker 1: the other house was two stories. The bedroom was upstairs.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Must be nice.
- 17:02Speaker 1: You can talk you like a twelve story matter. One
- 17:04Speaker 1: of the villains. One of the villains that we have.
- 17:07Speaker 1: There's two stories floor is the fourth floor is the
- 17:10Speaker 1: fourth floor, so I just take the lift, the glass
- 17:12Speaker 1: lift glass bottom. Yes, so Oscar has learned to gas
- 17:15Speaker 1: like me very subtly, but he thinks it's obviously genius.
- 17:19Speaker 1: So what he's done is I always would say to
- 17:22Speaker 1: get dressed, buddy. You know what it's like every morning,
- 17:25Speaker 1: especially the kid like Marley can get a self dressed.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Kind of what kind of yeah, let's not go into it.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Oscar he's been able to dress himself for a long time. Yeah,
- 17:38Speaker 1: he's shown up, but it would take forever for me
- 17:41Speaker 1: to get him to do it. You know, get dressed,
- 17:43Speaker 1: Come on, get dressed. It's always a nightmare. First thing
- 17:45Speaker 1: in the morning. He's rolling around and comfy pajamas, eating
- 17:47Speaker 1: a fucking slice of toe ye with a finger in
- 17:50Speaker 1: his nose. And you're like, mate, that's good, get dressed.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Don't disrupt this.
- 17:53Speaker 1: But how I figured out that it's too good to
- 17:55Speaker 1: be true is instead of just being like, yeah, I'll
- 17:58Speaker 1: do it, just saying yeah, he said to me very politely, yes, daddy,
- 18:02Speaker 1: I will get dressed for you. Now. First of all,
- 18:04Speaker 1: I thought, oh, that's lovely great, and I thought, can't
- 18:07Speaker 1: bullshit a bullshit it, bro, can't do it?
- 18:09Speaker 2: Well, what happened?
- 18:10Speaker 1: So I left it. He's upstairs, he quiet, I'm thinking
- 18:13Speaker 1: he's getting dressed. Well, he thinks that I think that
- 18:16Speaker 1: he's getting dressed, and I was like, I'll leave it,
- 18:18Speaker 1: just give him ample time to actually follow through, follow through.
- 18:22Speaker 1: And I got distracted as well, and it'd been like
- 18:25Speaker 1: twenty twenty five minutes, and I thought, I'll go and
- 18:27Speaker 1: check where he's at. Hasn't moved a fucking muscle, a
- 18:31Speaker 1: little bustard, so he's gott an extra twenty five minutes
- 18:34Speaker 1: of playing with his toys before I've gone. And I
- 18:37Speaker 1: snuck up on him too. I was like, you're going
- 18:40Speaker 1: to learn today's son, and he was like, head into
- 18:43Speaker 1: whatever he was doing, and I was like, what do
- 18:45Speaker 1: you do? Get dressed? I am, I am getting dressed,
- 18:54Speaker 1: but he's He thought that he'd got away with it.
- 18:57Speaker 1: So I'm monitoring the situation to see if he does it.
- 19:00Speaker 2: I don't know if Oscod does this. Marley's also turned
- 19:02Speaker 2: into ale bit of a gas lighter. I feel like
- 19:04Speaker 2: it's the age gas lighting starts at five ish.
- 19:09Speaker 1: It's a critical stage of the child's.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Literally, this is how weak her gas lighting is. So
- 19:14Speaker 2: I'll say to Marley, just.
- 19:15Speaker 1: A bad gas lighting game, very bad.
- 19:17Speaker 2: She needs to get better.
- 19:18Speaker 1: It needs to up a game outsmore.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Marley loves to be in control of the remote. She
- 19:22Speaker 2: loves it. She loves to hold the remote anyway, saying,
- 19:25Speaker 2: turn the TV off, ignores me, Turn the TV off,
- 19:28Speaker 2: ignores me, turn the TV off. Got very angry and
- 19:33Speaker 2: she goes, WHOA, Well, I thought you said keep the
- 19:36Speaker 2: TV on. And I'm like what and she goes, yeah,
- 19:42Speaker 2: that's what I thought you were saying.
- 19:44Speaker 1: You said you want it off.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Just got to ask for it.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Bro. It's like when you like accidentally say like a
- 19:51Speaker 1: confusing sentence and someone pulls you up on it, where
- 19:53Speaker 1: you're like, please don't stop, Like don't stop, all right,
- 19:59Speaker 1: all right? Gotcha? Speaking of that age, both of our
- 20:04Speaker 1: kids are getting to that age five, they're going to
- 20:07Speaker 1: start to lose their baby teeth. With Oscar just going
- 20:10Speaker 1: to the dentists and getting a metal tooth. The dentist's
- 20:12Speaker 1: gas Does he have a cap or? Is it? It's
- 20:16Speaker 1: a crown, It's a Transformer crown. What do you mean
- 20:19Speaker 1: by That's what he told him. It was because they're
- 20:22Speaker 1: just which one is the mouth salesman. It's like a
- 20:25Speaker 1: molar or not like a gun like there, it looks
- 20:28Speaker 1: pretty gangster, to be fair.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Yeah it sounds.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all it falls out, So that too is
- 20:33Speaker 1: going to fall out, right.
- 20:35Speaker 2: Yeah you want to it does fall out. Back to
- 20:39Speaker 2: the dentist.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Cashing it in, you know, it's like we collect scrap metal.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I used to work with this guy and his kid
- 20:47Speaker 1: lost her too, and apparently she was upset for days.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Because she lost the two.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yeah, they just can't comprehend it. So there's all these different.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Must be so strange.
- 20:57Speaker 1: But also before teeth fall out, they it loose, right
- 21:01Speaker 1: can you remember as a kid, like you're like, oh,
- 21:03Speaker 1: I got to lose tooth for the first time, and
- 21:04Speaker 1: then all of a sudden that comes out. You're like, oh,
- 21:06Speaker 1: either they come out that way or your parents in
- 21:09Speaker 1: that generation will be like, let me tie this to
- 21:11Speaker 1: a door handle and rip it out for you, you
- 21:13Speaker 1: know what I mean?
- 21:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I still like watch videos on social media with
- 21:16Speaker 2: people tying tooth to an earth gun bullet and then
- 21:18Speaker 2: firing it out.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Yeah. I found one that I want to show you.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Oh yes that I thought you. Maddie Jill love this
- 21:24Speaker 1: because it might give us an idea. Just watch that.
- 21:29Speaker 1: The gas.
- 21:38Speaker 2: The mom's laughing, Oh my god, there screams of fear.
- 21:52Speaker 2: I'm like, that's child abuse.
- 21:53Speaker 1: So what Matt's watching is a dad obviously, and the
- 21:57Speaker 1: mum's filming. The mum's laugh is so funny, and the
- 22:00Speaker 1: kid is screaming because his tooth is tied to a
- 22:06Speaker 1: golf ball and dad's about to drive it into the bushes.
- 22:12Speaker 1: When I saw that, I was shocked.
- 22:15Speaker 2: But also that level of fear sounded very real. The
- 22:19Speaker 2: moment the tooth was ripped out, he realized it was like, hey,
- 22:22Speaker 2: I'm back. Yeah.
- 22:23Speaker 1: He was like the dad did a really really good
- 22:25Speaker 1: job at diffusing the mood, so he was like hit
- 22:29Speaker 1: the golf ball, looked at him and went great shot
- 22:32Speaker 1: for the high five. It also just sounds funny.
- 22:40Speaker 2: There's a moment though, her dad looks at the kid
- 22:42Speaker 2: and he's like shit, and he's like.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, that's great.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Here's a couple of kids at day k who've lost teeth,
- 22:51Speaker 2: all boys, and I'm like, oh wow, like Timmy's lost
- 22:54Speaker 2: the tooth. They've all like running into walls and fallen
- 22:57Speaker 2: off trees. Yeah, how old are they when they started
- 23:00Speaker 2: grade one or two?
- 23:01Speaker 1: Ranges? It varies. I had baby teeth for a long time,
- 23:05Speaker 1: like my dad was like, you like little piranha teeth
- 23:08Speaker 1: for like.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Hang on for quite a while? Well, what's quite a while?
- 23:12Speaker 2: Give me some time for.
- 23:13Speaker 1: It into primary school like instantly?
- 23:15Speaker 2: Yeah, like apparently, okay, not to up your story. My
- 23:21Speaker 2: little brother, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy was only born with three
- 23:25Speaker 2: adult teeth. So the adult teeth because they weren't there.
- 23:29Speaker 2: You know, you're born with all your teeth in your jaw. Okay, again,
- 23:32Speaker 2: let's just put it out there. And then this is
- 23:34Speaker 2: not a scientific podcast, so anything that we say here
- 23:37Speaker 2: is purely a joke and satire. Only.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Explain that to me, you were born with.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Your adult teeth already in your jaw underneath. Yeah bro,
- 23:44Speaker 2: wait what hang on? Yeah?
- 23:47Speaker 1: So if I X rayed the sign of Oscar's head,
- 23:50Speaker 1: he would have two layers of teeth. That's some sort
- 23:52Speaker 1: of freak.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Yeah there, shut up, they are there, no way, ye yep.
- 23:58Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Should be asked April, April come here please, I should
- 24:05Speaker 1: have said that more lovingly. Can we have you on
- 24:07Speaker 1: the mic just for one sec. We've got a question.
- 24:09Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you a question and see if
- 24:12Speaker 2: you know the answer. I'm may be.
- 24:13Speaker 1: Wrong here because everyone that's listening. Yes, I I feel
- 24:17Speaker 1: like this is something in April would know.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Yes, April, do you know that you were born with
- 24:21Speaker 2: all your adult teeth already in your mouth? Yes?
- 24:25Speaker 1: I did, definitely. And then like if you were X
- 24:27Speaker 1: ray baby, you see the double whammy? Yeah?
- 24:30Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah? Are you fucking serious?
- 24:34Speaker 1: That is an outstand Macy? Do you want to come
- 24:36Speaker 1: and say something?

- 24:46Speaker 2: I love you. Oh mazee, that's so sweet of you.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Yes, I answer anyway, Sorry to completely hijack that I
- 24:54Speaker 1: am blown away.
- 24:56Speaker 2: My brother was only born with three adult teeth, so
- 24:59Speaker 2: the baby teeth never fell out because your adult teeth
- 25:01Speaker 2: weren't coming through and pushing them out.
- 25:03Speaker 1: They push him out.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, dude, Yeah.
- 25:08Speaker 1: My knowledge of anatomy is so hard. How did I
- 25:12Speaker 1: impregnate someone like that's my belly button?
- 25:17Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 25:18Speaker 1: If you put enough, don't get there, it'll say.
- 25:24Speaker 2: So my brother has to get all implants still. So yeah,
- 25:29Speaker 2: so does he still have his baby teeth still?
- 25:31Speaker 1: Get him on the phone right now.
- 25:32Speaker 2: If you're like google gegger, that's very offensive.
- 25:37Speaker 1: Shudder.
- 25:38Speaker 2: So he actually he got accepted as a case study
- 25:43Speaker 2: for the University of Queensland Dental School because it.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Was such a rare case dental school.
- 25:52Speaker 2: So they he's not real, bro, it's like a circus
- 25:55Speaker 2: and they all it's a bunch of freaks. They drink
- 25:59Speaker 2: and they're watching it.
- 26:00Speaker 1: He got reaccepted back into daycare, so they.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Offered to do part of his dentistry. But the issue
- 26:07Speaker 2: was because he didn't have the adult teeth, his jaw
- 26:09Speaker 2: didn't grow, so he had to have his jaw broken,
- 26:11Speaker 2: and like yeah, it's oh my god, it's a journey.
- 26:14Speaker 1: To know what. There's some dentists behind that going, we've
- 26:17Speaker 1: got one. We've got one. We're going to make an
- 26:19Speaker 1: absolute motster out of this man, boy, child, whatever you
- 26:23Speaker 1: want to call him. He's going to tell We're just
- 26:26Speaker 1: going to tell him that he's got baby teeth.
- 26:31Speaker 2: He won't see the X rays, he won't know I'm
- 26:33Speaker 2: going to break his jaw. Shout out to Tom who
- 26:37Speaker 2: is single.
- 26:37Speaker 1: By the way, he sounds like a real cash.
- 26:42Speaker 2: So on the weekend, Ash we were looking at a
- 26:45Speaker 2: friend's property that's being renod So we said, how's it
- 26:49Speaker 2: going with the renovations, and they said, good. You know
- 26:51Speaker 2: the place, it's like a strip right back.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Did you offer to do any work for them? You're like,
- 26:56Speaker 1: here's my number.
- 26:57Speaker 2: I'll pick up some wood for you if you need.
- 26:59Speaker 2: I was like, I can build decks. Didn't accept my offer,
- 27:02Speaker 2: that's fine, but they said you could go look at it.
- 27:05Speaker 2: The keys are hidden in this spot, so like around
- 27:07Speaker 2: the weekend, if you want, you can go have a
- 27:09Speaker 2: look because we've ripped out the kitchen, we've ripped out
- 27:11Speaker 2: the bathrooms. Like, you won't know the place because it's
- 27:13Speaker 2: completely demoed all like the skeleton framework. Good bones, great bones.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Boomers say that about a house. Yeah, it's a bit
- 27:23Speaker 1: of a it's a bit of a red eyed job.
- 27:25Speaker 1: It's got good bones. It's a fucking timber dickhead.
- 27:28Speaker 2: So we're looking at the house and it was in
- 27:30Speaker 2: the morning. I'd had my tripleshot coffee and as we're
- 27:33Speaker 2: walking through, well, you know, we're looking at the place
- 27:36Speaker 2: and wow, my god, it's going to be amazing with
- 27:38Speaker 2: the kitchen is going to go here, and the bathroom
- 27:39Speaker 2: will look great as well. So they ripped out pretty
- 27:42Speaker 2: much everything.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Just before you continue, your friends have asked you to
- 27:46Speaker 1: come over and look at an empty house.
- 27:48Speaker 2: It's down the road, so it's empty. Yeah, we just said.
- 27:51Speaker 1: I thought. I was thinking, you're going to walk in
- 27:53Speaker 1: and be like, whoa, this is amazing. It's beautiful what
- 27:55Speaker 1: they've done to the place. But it's a fucking you
- 27:58Speaker 1: just said it's empty.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a construction site, so like just taking a
- 28:02Speaker 2: good look. We were admiring. It's such a dad admiring
- 28:06Speaker 2: construction sign.
- 28:06Speaker 1: I'm coming straight down there.
- 28:08Speaker 2: So we're walking through. Everything is pretty much gone except
- 28:12Speaker 2: for the toilet, and Laura has told the story stealing
- 28:17Speaker 2: the content of two doting dads on their podcast.
- 28:20Speaker 1: Get Your Own Content.
- 28:22Speaker 2: And I went to the toilet, I've done a pooh.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Was the water running well?
- 28:28Speaker 2: I didn't check. I just assumed. I assumed that, hey,
- 28:30Speaker 2: the builders are here. The builders have to go to
- 28:32Speaker 2: the toilet. So they ripped out everything except for the toilet,
- 28:35Speaker 2: so that obviously must be still in use.
- 28:37Speaker 1: I've got the builders sawna out the front, aren't.
- 28:39Speaker 2: They what's the builders saw?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, it wasn't.
- 28:41Speaker 2: There was no portally, so I was like, obviously the
- 28:43Speaker 2: toilets are still in use, and there was toilet paper,
- 28:45Speaker 2: fresh toilet paper.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Oh okay, well let's six again.
- 28:48Speaker 2: It wasn't.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Quinton dropped me deack, so I've done a poohick.
- 28:53Speaker 2: And gone to flush it. Nothing. Nothing, And I'm like,
- 28:56Speaker 2: oh god. And the big one it was me size
- 29:01Speaker 2: was I'm eating a lot of steak at the moment,
- 29:04Speaker 2: so they're very rich.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Have you taken up my diet?
- 29:06Speaker 2: You have?
- 29:07Speaker 1: Have you?
- 29:09Speaker 2: You know I'm not just eating I'm eating carbs as well,
- 29:11Speaker 2: but lots of steak. It was very stinky. I'll put
- 29:14Speaker 2: my hand up and s my poos do smell guilty
- 29:18Speaker 2: as charged. And Laura is like, oh my god, I
- 29:21Speaker 2: can't you've done that, and like it's fine. They must
- 29:23Speaker 2: have turned the water off. They'll turn it back on
- 29:24Speaker 2: now flush it. She goes, You've got to message them
- 29:26Speaker 2: and let them know that like that it's happened, and
- 29:30Speaker 2: I was like sure, sure, sure. So Laura doesn't know
- 29:33Speaker 2: this part, but I messaged and said I'm so sorry.
- 29:37Speaker 2: I'm messaging on behalf of Laura. She has done a
- 29:42Speaker 2: ship in the toilet and she's very embarrassed. Oh, we apologize,
- 29:47Speaker 2: it's great cause looks great.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Did they buy it?
- 29:51Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, oh that's okay.
- 29:53Speaker 1: It's a real big stinky one. She's ships heaves, it's
- 29:56Speaker 1: all the time. I told her not to do it.
- 29:57Speaker 1: The water's not it. Does she know now or I've
- 30:01Speaker 1: not told her this?
- 30:03Speaker 2: And yeah, I'll tell on her podcast.
- 30:06Speaker 1: She told them that, well.
- 30:07Speaker 2: She thinks that that was it. And Matt had to
- 30:09Speaker 2: message and and he you know, so she doesn't know.
- 30:12Speaker 2: I did message them, but I said it.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Was her, not me, cheeky bugger. Oops. So can you
- 30:17Speaker 1: please let us know reaction of this, because that as
- 30:21Speaker 1: a classic stitch up and that's something that I would
- 30:24Speaker 1: do to April that it'd be great.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Laura had to do it pooh as well. We like
- 30:27Speaker 2: to PuO and sink. And I was like just doing
- 30:30Speaker 2: doing in the garden. I was like, there's a shovel here,
- 30:33Speaker 2: I'll think you were whole and she was like, no,
- 30:34Speaker 2: the neighbors can see. And I was like, just do it.
- 30:36Speaker 1: And I called you yesterday and you're like, I just
- 30:38Speaker 1: had to stop at Macasa. Laura can do it. She's
- 30:42Speaker 1: a Shitter's a shiting machine. That reminds me of when
- 30:44Speaker 1: I used to be a painter, apprentice painter, and used
- 30:49Speaker 1: to work on high rises and surface paradise and early
- 30:52Speaker 1: on when the painters are in question.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a high rise mostly glass or what
- 30:58Speaker 2: are you painting.
- 30:59Speaker 1: The inside of it? That you goose?
- 31:01Speaker 2: All right, don't have to yell.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I used to do the outside as well, and there
- 31:04Speaker 1: was like a lot of like around the back.
- 31:06Speaker 2: I don't need your last story, bro, gonna play tip,
- 31:11Speaker 2: don't you know?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Anyway, So when the pain has come in, not an analogy.
- 31:17Speaker 1: When the pain has come in, it's usually early on,
- 31:19Speaker 1: before the toilet's in. But there's always the toilet pipe
- 31:23Speaker 1: and there'd be some filthy plasters that will just ship
- 31:25Speaker 1: down the pipe walking. Sometimes you walk into one of the.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Units, you'll be like, do they wash it down with anything?
- 31:33Speaker 1: I just like because the water's not running up there?

- 31:42Speaker 1: and move on with their day like a dog.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Oh, God. Yeah.
- 31:46Speaker 1: Anyway, that just reminded me of that.

- 34:17Speaker 2: enjoy a cheeky ice cream after my kids are in bed.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Guilty yeah, and mcflurry after fucking Bawn.
- 34:26Speaker 2: And often my three year old finds the evidence in
- 34:28Speaker 2: the morning. My response, Yes, Santa was checking in on
- 34:33Speaker 2: us and he got really hungry.
- 34:37Speaker 1: That just on ice cream. Did you see that video
- 34:41Speaker 1: of the guy? And I try and find it for
- 34:42Speaker 1: socials If it works, it's like he's got the ice
- 34:45Speaker 1: cream and then it let us leap over the top
- 34:47Speaker 1: of it, and he's like you want some Like It's like, okay,
- 34:53Speaker 1: I offer.

- 35:08Speaker 2: just messaged you. Yes, I'm not going to tell you
- 35:11Speaker 2: what it says. Come on, he says, Ash. Thanks for
- 35:14Speaker 2: being such a great tenant. It's been a pleasure having
- 35:17Speaker 2: you here, and we look forward to hopefully crossing parts
- 35:20Speaker 2: once again in the future. Much love, that's a lie,
- 35:24Speaker 2: ps love the podcast and I bought your book.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Do you just plainly lie to me that whole thing?
- 35:29Speaker 2: He message? But it's an email.
- 35:30Speaker 1: It's an email. Yeah, good, okay.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Interesting name, Jessemine.
- 35:35Speaker 1: That's not a real name. Yeah, get that checked.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Jess j E s A M. I N Jessemin. I
- 35:44Speaker 2: never met a Jessmine before. Interesting, beautiful name. Plenty of
- 35:48Speaker 2: time for Jessemine. If I have a third child, I'll
- 35:51Speaker 2: call it Jessemine.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Okay.
- 35:53Speaker 2: Once my husband packed some Canadian clubs terrible drink Center Woods.
- 35:58Speaker 2: That's a first mistake into my then four year old's
- 36:02Speaker 2: luggage on a trip to the Gold Coast. My son
- 36:05Speaker 2: thought it was soft drink and cracked a can and
- 36:08Speaker 2: took a sip. He told us straight away. He must
- 36:11Speaker 2: have felt guilty. She says. I pretended to call a
- 36:14Speaker 2: nurse who told me if he didn't eat an apple,
- 36:17Speaker 2: he would have to have his stomach pumped. He's ten now,
- 36:21Speaker 2: and he often talks about his near miss of having
- 36:23Speaker 2: to go to hospital. At the time, I was impressed
- 36:26Speaker 2: with his ability to open a can, since he'd never
- 36:29Speaker 2: even had a soft drink before.
- 36:30Speaker 1: He's obviously seen a few times that can being opened.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Jessumine lacks a drink. Last one ash from Leela. Leela says,
- 36:40Speaker 2: whenever my daughter had a tantrum from toddler age. My
- 36:43Speaker 2: stepmom would say, look a mouse, and they'd run around
- 36:47Speaker 2: the house trying to look for it. It worked every
- 36:49Speaker 2: time to distract her. It's now been passed on to
- 36:51Speaker 2: my son and nieces and nephew. My daughter is nine
- 36:54Speaker 2: and I still think she looks for a mouse along
- 36:56Speaker 2: with her brother and a Cousin's so a distraction. My
- 36:58Speaker 2: mom does that, dude, No, my mom goes. My mom goes,
- 37:03Speaker 2: it's a white cat. It's a white cat in the backyard.
- 37:05Speaker 2: And Lola's like, what the fuck, so distraction, that's genius,
- 37:09Speaker 2: random animal.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Cut outside. Oh my god, it's a bluebird. Try it to.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I know you were saying that. Lola was like, shut up.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Just interrupting this episode to let you know that we

- 38:16Speaker 2: the episode questions.
- 38:19Speaker 1: I have a question for you, man, go on, it's
- 38:20Speaker 1: been burning at me for days. You've got two girls,
- 38:24Speaker 1: and I walked past a place that does ear piercing
- 38:29Speaker 1: the other day and there was a young girl in
- 38:31Speaker 1: there about Macy's as getting her ears pierced. Now I
- 38:34Speaker 1: felt a bit uneasy about it.
- 38:37Speaker 2: What made you feel an easier Let me just explain
- 38:40Speaker 2: to you.
- 38:40Speaker 1: How I felt in total as a whole. First of all,
- 38:43Speaker 1: I was like, there's a child being hurt. My first
- 38:49Speaker 1: initial reaction. It was also I don't know. I just
- 38:52Speaker 1: felt like for the parents, not judging. Dave decided that
- 38:56Speaker 1: now it is the right time for them to you know,
- 38:58Speaker 1: that's their business. But at the same time, I felt like,
- 39:01Speaker 1: wouldn't that really hurt the child? And is she not
- 39:04Speaker 1: happy with the situation? She didn't seem unhappy.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Was the child screaming?
- 39:08Speaker 1: No?
- 39:08Speaker 2: No, she was shut up? You keep on walking, man.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Well look, this is what I mean. I was nervous
- 39:15Speaker 1: for That's what it was. I was nervous for her impending.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I've got I've had my ears piers before. How have
- 39:22Speaker 1: you both of them?
- 39:24Speaker 2: Did you? Did you have a little diamond one? What
- 39:27Speaker 2: do you have? Oops?
- 39:28Speaker 1: No, they were pearls. They were love list stole above
- 39:34Speaker 1: the maid. Yes, I did have my ears pears. Shocker.
- 39:38Speaker 2: What kind of studs did you have?
- 39:40Speaker 1: They were like black?
- 39:41Speaker 2: It's racist.
- 39:43Speaker 1: It was very emo. Right where are you?
- 39:47Speaker 2: I forget that. You get a big emo face?
- 39:49Speaker 1: I did not.
- 39:50Speaker 2: We went to bling I too, and you sang every
- 39:53Speaker 2: single word.
- 39:55Speaker 1: That's just being a millennial.
- 39:57Speaker 2: How old were you ash when you got your ears?
- 40:00Speaker 1: I was like seventeen and my dad hated it.
- 40:02Speaker 2: Did it hurt?
- 40:03Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 40:04Speaker 2: For how long? Afterwards it feels like.
- 40:06Speaker 1: Years a while, but I was like, so a couple
- 40:10Speaker 1: of mixed emotions. I think I was just nervous the
- 40:12Speaker 1: little girl with a pending paint. But then I was
- 40:14Speaker 1: also like, what age is the right age? Is there
- 40:18Speaker 1: a wrong age? Like for you with two girls and
- 40:20Speaker 1: I've got Macy, she's quite young. I still think it
- 40:22Speaker 1: would be too young, But what age do you think?
- 40:25Speaker 2: I think you put it on the kids. I think
- 40:29Speaker 2: I've seen toddler's getting the ear If I.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Said to Oscar, do you want to get a tattoo?
- 40:33Speaker 2: Like, yeah, given one, then dude, I've seen toddlers get
- 40:38Speaker 2: the ear piers. I think that's too young. But I
- 40:40Speaker 2: think if your child Marley has asked to have ears pierce.
- 40:44Speaker 2: She sometimes loves with stickers, to put the stickers on
- 40:47Speaker 2: the ear and be like, look, daddy, I got my
- 40:49Speaker 2: ears piers, And I'm like, that's great. If she genuinely
- 40:52Speaker 2: wanted to get it done, I'd be like, yeah, if
- 40:55Speaker 2: you really it's gonna hurt. If you really want.
- 40:57Speaker 1: It, you wouldn't force it upon them, though, Nah.
- 40:59Speaker 2: No, up to them. I remember, I just vivid. There's
- 41:02Speaker 2: some memories just stick.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Out that's called trauma.
- 41:07Speaker 2: My sister, I think she must have been about twelve.
- 41:11Speaker 2: She was getting her ears pierced and I was with
- 41:13Speaker 2: her and Mum in the shopping center while she was
- 41:16Speaker 2: getting done. I remember the screams she was hiding, like
- 41:19Speaker 2: under the bed we sit on to get it done
- 41:21Speaker 2: and being like no, And I remember which she wanted
- 41:24Speaker 2: them to done. She wanted it done. She just freaked
- 41:26Speaker 2: out when when it came to the moment of getting
- 41:28Speaker 2: it done, it's like going on a roller coaster that
- 41:30Speaker 2: like sex.
- 41:31Speaker 1: I guess I get scared.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just remember that moment of her being
- 41:37Speaker 2: like wow, like why do people get this done? But
- 41:40Speaker 2: if Marley came to me and said, I really want
- 41:41Speaker 2: my ears pierced, and she continued with that request for
- 41:46Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, and I was saying, it's really
- 41:48Speaker 2: going to hert but if you really want it done,
- 41:49Speaker 2: we can go get it done. She wants it, sure
- 41:52Speaker 2: would you.
- 41:52Speaker 1: I think it's like it's to show her like a
- 41:54Speaker 1: YouTube of at first, but this is what's going to
- 41:56Speaker 1: happen to see. It's not that you want to deter.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Them, like I think it's a good introduction to pain making.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Decisions and those repercussions.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Very well said, not the medical advice either, not a psychology.
- 42:13Speaker 2: I wanted to get my ears pierced, but my mom
- 42:15Speaker 2: wouldn't let me. I had frosted tips and I was like,
- 42:16Speaker 2: all I need now is an ear piercing and they
- 42:18Speaker 2: look as complete.
- 42:23Speaker 1: She was like, I wonder if they could, if we
- 42:27Speaker 1: could get a video of and sync and superpose our
- 42:30Speaker 1: heads to it. I just mental note, that'd be fun
- 42:37Speaker 1: edge myself to it. I've said edging three times in
- 42:40Speaker 1: the one episode.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Question for you. Yes, we had this one come in.
- 42:43Speaker 2: I can't remember the name, but it stood out. There's
- 42:46Speaker 2: been a unique question, how many times do your kids
- 42:49Speaker 2: fart per day?
- 42:51Speaker 1: Let me just get the let me get the notepad
- 42:53Speaker 1: out of tally them up. No, I don't tally him up.
- 42:55Speaker 1: I would say, my kids get accused of fighting more
- 42:58Speaker 1: than the actual fart. Oh you're I'm like Oscar. It
- 43:02Speaker 1: was me this guy, and because Macy can't fight back,
- 43:05Speaker 1: it's always ends up being Macy.
- 43:06Speaker 2: But surely April must Another difference between like a Macy
- 43:09Speaker 2: or Oscar fart versus.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Your yeah not quite trumpety also smell wise, yeah, Macy stinks.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Marley's stink changed the nappy. The other day, I saw
- 43:21Speaker 1: anus wink, Oh my god, and I was like, that's one.
- 43:33Speaker 2: You know what, you know what's funny though, I don't
- 43:35Speaker 2: know if your kids are similar. In the car this morning,
- 43:40Speaker 2: I let her a fart and it's all the steak
- 43:42Speaker 2: that makes maybe very very sticky farts are good. They're like, dude,
- 43:45Speaker 2: they're so pungent. And the kids in the back of
- 43:48Speaker 2: the car, Lolla just goes, hey, someone fart, and I go, yeah,
- 43:52Speaker 2: it was me as she goes, and they're not that
- 43:55Speaker 2: affected by the smell, like they were like all right.
- 43:58Speaker 1: I just think it's so normal. Yeah, But like as
- 44:00Speaker 1: you get older, it gets funnier and more frowned upon.
- 44:02Speaker 2: And also at what age do people start getting more
- 44:06Speaker 2: disgusted in farts?
- 44:07Speaker 1: I think there's like a scale, not a scale, like
- 44:10Speaker 1: a graph, and you go from being it funny to
- 44:13Speaker 1: being it's disgusting, back to it being funny again. And
- 44:17Speaker 1: like our age now so funny, farst of the best.
- 44:22Speaker 2: So like if Laura does a fart, that's like I'm like,
- 44:24Speaker 2: that's funny. When Laura does a fine and it's.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Like I'm like ah, it's like a hot like a
- 44:32Speaker 3: hot sigh, like.
- 44:36Speaker 1: A hot sigh out of her rain hot si oh
- 44:48Speaker 1: where did that come from? All? Right?
- 44:51Speaker 2: Like this morning I had this sigh the deep depths
- 44:53Speaker 2: of summer. Sorry, Laura, I love you.
- 45:03Speaker 1: I fucking lost it now. I was in the car
- 45:05Speaker 1: this morning with the heater on and my father. Than
- 45:07Speaker 1: that hit different.
- 45:10Speaker 2: There's a couple of farts a hot sigh but in
- 45:13Speaker 2: a sauna.
- 45:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what about like when you're fart in the
- 45:16Speaker 1: shower and it's like so much stinkier a hot sigh
- 45:23Speaker 1: in the shower.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Okay, let's let's get out of here.
