- 1:26Speaker 1: why don't we give you toys to other kids? That'll
- 1:28Speaker 1: be fun. They're like, oh, I'll play with them, sucker.

- 2:24Speaker 2: open it up, put a little bit of salt in there.
- 2:26Speaker 2: But that's for Wednesday's episode. Yes, we should also say
- 2:30Speaker 2: a little hello to Lockeyeh, where'd you go from? He's
- 2:34Speaker 2: come from life on Cat but also he's been working
- 2:36Speaker 2: with us for a little while helping out with our videos.

- 2:39Speaker 1: For this week. This week, don't worry, we can't afford him.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Okay, I can't afford it. He's very expensive. The headcount

- 2:49Speaker 1: People than Dad's. So Vick will be back next week.
- 2:54Speaker 1: That's good to hear.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Look, there are two things that I want to talk about,
- 2:56Speaker 2: and I don't want to be a one trick pony
- 2:58Speaker 2: and just talk about the holiday for the next two weeks. However,
- 3:03Speaker 2: it's all.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I've got right now. It's called memories, man.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to I'm reliving the trip through you.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Two things I want to talk about. Firstly, I hate
- 3:11Speaker 2: to attack any group of individuals.
- 3:15Speaker 1: This is directed to me, not at all.
- 3:18Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, you are I identify as
- 3:21Speaker 2: a group individuals. You were safe, Thank you. The group
- 3:26Speaker 2: I want to attack that. The group I have a
- 3:27Speaker 2: problem with. Oh god, both elbows on the table. Is serious.
- 3:32Speaker 2: They're nonnas. Okay, I've got a problem with the nonners
- 3:35Speaker 2: of this country.
- 3:36Speaker 1: We're talking about Italian grandmother's.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Look, I think they were Italian. I'm pretty sure she
- 3:41Speaker 2: had the little stumpy walk like. That's all you need.
- 3:45Speaker 2: She had a bottle of pasta.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Was she consistently in awe of all the concrete she
- 3:50Speaker 1: was watering the concrete. Okay, of course she was.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Baby Jesus statues around like, well, look, we got to
- 3:55Speaker 2: the airport and we're flying out to BALI. I'm not
- 3:58Speaker 2: sure Ash if you saw what I hosted, but we
- 4:01Speaker 2: had some uniforms from costumes for Marley and Lola. They
- 4:05Speaker 2: were the air hostess uniforms. I did see that for corners.
- 4:08Speaker 1: He kept that under wraps.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Thought you would have talked to me about that before.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I was like, April was like, did you know about this?
- 4:13Speaker 2: I was like, not about what about? What?
- 4:15Speaker 1: This is news to me?
- 4:16Speaker 2: She's like, where did you get I don't know.
- 4:18Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 4:19Speaker 2: So I mean I didn't think. I showed them to
- 4:21Speaker 2: Marley and Lola. This is before we flew out, and
- 4:23Speaker 2: I was like, look, this is pretty cute, and they
- 4:25Speaker 2: were like, we're wearing that on the plane and I
- 4:28Speaker 2: was like, if you want to, like sure, and they
- 4:31Speaker 2: were parted. They had their hair slipped back, they got
- 4:33Speaker 2: the lipstick on. I was like ready to fucking clock
- 4:36Speaker 2: them in and start a ship. And so we parked
- 4:40Speaker 2: the car. We're walking to departures and we get in
- 4:44Speaker 2: an elevator. Ash, I'm familiar with the concept. Who was
- 4:47Speaker 2: in the elevator the captain Alona. Okay, okay, and I'm listening.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Lola is someone who I think isn't aware that she
- 4:57Speaker 2: puts herself in a situation where she's going to get attention.
- 4:59Speaker 2: She was like, oh, that outfits great, like cool, end
- 5:03Speaker 2: of I don't think she understood what that would then.
- 5:05Speaker 1: The knock on effect of that, which is people gonna
- 5:07Speaker 1: ask questions.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Right, So we're all cramming to this elevator. There is
- 5:10Speaker 2: a family with a non it's not as a single
- 5:12Speaker 2: Nona by herself. And so we get on in the elevator
- 5:20Speaker 2: and Lola is standing in a way where she's like
- 5:22Speaker 2: next to the nana, and the nanna is just like,
- 5:24Speaker 2: oh my god, look at these little beautiful babies. And
- 5:27Speaker 2: she's like it gives Lola a hug, and she's like
- 5:31Speaker 2: and kisses her in the forehead. And I was like,
- 5:34Speaker 2: but it was like a beautiful Nona. I couldn't be like, hey,
- 5:38Speaker 2: she could have been in fuck off, touch my children. Yeah,
- 5:40Speaker 2: but it was like it was very brief and the
- 5:43Speaker 2: Nana was just, you know, just doing what nanas dove
- 5:47Speaker 2: And then we get out of the elevator and they
- 5:50Speaker 2: walk off like okay, bye, like have you guys have
- 5:52Speaker 2: a good trip. And Lola's just like.
- 5:56Speaker 1: What the fuck just happened? And she was like what
- 5:58Speaker 1: did you do something? And I was like what do
- 6:00Speaker 1: you mean? She's like, who the fuck was that? It's
- 6:03Speaker 1: such an awkward situation.
- 6:04Speaker 2: And I'm like in a moment where there's Nana thinks
- 6:07Speaker 2: that she's just being a loving grandma giving some affection
- 6:09Speaker 2: to a young child that she doesn't know. You don't
- 6:12Speaker 2: want to be the one who goes back the fuck off, lady,
- 6:15Speaker 2: get away from my fucking kids.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah, you start with one, not non of then what
- 6:18Speaker 1: you just move on to the next one.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden you're just like, kid, I've
- 6:22Speaker 2: got the Nana's with pitchforks at my house being like.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Let us touch our children. The problem is I've with
- 6:28Speaker 1: this go on is the country and the region of origin.
- 6:31Speaker 1: They're very kissy.
- 6:33Speaker 3: They are.
- 6:33Speaker 1: They're very kissy Europeans in general. The doubles like it's sprints, germs,
- 6:39Speaker 1: It's okay, It's un hygienia. COVID would have been way less.
- 6:42Speaker 2: I actually like I lived with when.
- 6:44Speaker 1: I lived in London, I lived with.
- 6:46Speaker 2: The Spanish guy Sergio, and he fucked me in the mornings.
- 6:49Speaker 2: He used to wake up and be like hello and
- 6:51Speaker 2: if you're right my face and I pull away and
- 6:54Speaker 2: he'd be like, what are you doing today? That's a
- 6:57Speaker 2: terrible accent, that's pretty good? Am I going to get
- 6:59Speaker 2: canceled from there? Should we take that out?
- 7:01Speaker 1: Nah?
- 7:02Speaker 2: Okay? And he like, they're just very in your face,
- 7:04Speaker 2: and I was like, just I haven't brushed my teethio relaxed,
- 7:08Speaker 2: and neither of you said face. But afterwards I was like,
- 7:12Speaker 2: how should I have handled that situation? Like how do
- 7:15Speaker 2: you politely tell Anna who's completely unaware that she's behaving
- 7:18Speaker 2: in a way that's kind of inappropriate Considering it's a
- 7:21Speaker 2: child that you have no idea connection with.
- 7:23Speaker 1: There's not a whole lot you can do because you
- 7:25Speaker 1: can't preempt they're going to do that. To be fair,
- 7:27Speaker 1: kids are short. Nona's pretty short, so they kind of
- 7:30Speaker 1: maybe like are too fast for you to stop?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Yeah, like a little one, You're better off after it's done,
- 7:36Speaker 2: being like you're going to catch it. Whatever my kid's got,
- 7:39Speaker 2: you're going to catch it. So I don't think they're
- 7:41Speaker 2: not as care they're instructible. They're like they're like seventy,
- 7:43Speaker 2: they're like fuck it. But then when we got into
- 7:45Speaker 2: the departures and we're trying to find, you know, our
- 7:48Speaker 2: check in area, Lola was like she's coming back because
- 7:52Speaker 2: it was coming through it. And I was like, get
- 7:53Speaker 2: behind me. And it was like, you know, wild dog
- 7:56Speaker 2: was coming to attack your children, and I was like
- 7:58Speaker 2: they're ready. Yeah, I was like kick this. But then
- 8:03Speaker 2: everyone was like looking at Marley Lola and be like
- 8:06Speaker 2: look at these beautiful children. And Lola was like, gut
- 8:08Speaker 2: it up me and I was like, you should try
- 8:10Speaker 2: to kissing them.
- 8:11Speaker 1: It's really good.
- 8:13Speaker 2: So I just want to say, I look, if you
- 8:15Speaker 2: are a nonna listening to this episode, and I'm sorry
- 8:19Speaker 2: to say this, I don't want to be the bearer
- 8:20Speaker 2: of bad news here, but you've got to stop kissing
- 8:22Speaker 2: kids that aren't yours. You've got to say that, And like,
- 8:25Speaker 2: I think that needs to be a message that we
- 8:27Speaker 2: should put out there.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Need to be though, Like it's just they've got no
- 8:31Speaker 1: self awareness.
- 8:32Speaker 2: No self awareness. They love the kids love your own
- 8:36Speaker 2: grandchildren don't love mine.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I mean if I walked around kissing kids, it'd be
- 8:40Speaker 1: a fucking crime. Well literally if you.
- 8:43Speaker 2: But that's a thing, like you're the nonas for so long,
- 8:45Speaker 2: I've gotten away with it.
- 8:46Speaker 1: And I'm more of all scared the kids off sort
- 8:48Speaker 1: of vibe kids excuse rat.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I think someone someone's got to put the nanas
- 8:54Speaker 2: in line. And I don't even know if she was
- 8:56Speaker 2: Italian or not.
- 8:57Speaker 1: And they also like they might do something like that.
- 8:59Speaker 1: And then you're like, oh, it's completely fine, it's completely fine.
- 9:02Speaker 1: It's like just it's not fine. It's not touch my kid.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Let alone with your lips. And Lola was like, defend
- 9:08Speaker 2: me next time you prick. I was like, sorry, next time,
- 9:11Speaker 2: I'll leave you there. But second thing I want to
- 9:13Speaker 2: talk about, and I know that I get hung up
- 9:15Speaker 2: on seats on a plane. Yeah, that's your thing, that's
- 9:17Speaker 2: your hobby. If there's one thing that gives me anxiety,
- 9:19Speaker 2: it's selecting seats for the family on a fly.
- 9:22Speaker 1: It must feel so good when it pays off, like
- 9:24Speaker 1: the right choice pays off.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Hey, the best part of the trip the flight. So
- 9:30Speaker 2: the issue was do you want the bowlhead and non bulkhead.
- 9:33Speaker 2: For those of you who aren't up to speed with
- 9:36Speaker 2: the lingo of the airline industry, the bulkhead is the
- 9:39Speaker 2: end of economy one step further. You're a business.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Yeah you're not quite there.
- 9:44Speaker 2: I just want to be as close to business as possible.
- 9:46Speaker 2: I fucking could smell it. I was like, that's lamb,
- 9:52Speaker 2: that's good with Oh my god, it's silver aware. But
- 9:59Speaker 2: I'm just like, I mean there, I belong here.
- 10:02Speaker 1: He's sitting on someone's lap.
- 10:04Speaker 2: But the extra leg room that is a.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Godsend for people who are tall, like six six to
- 10:10Speaker 1: you're sick one and a half one and a half.
- 10:12Speaker 1: But like Lockie's like, what six twelve is he seven
- 10:15Speaker 1: foot's Scottish giant.
- 10:19Speaker 2: But I think when you're with an infant, Poppy is
- 10:22Speaker 2: always ten months. We had the bass in it had
- 10:23Speaker 2: the option of the bassinet, but she wasn't sleeping at all,
- 10:26Speaker 2: Like she's not going to sleep in a bast it's
- 10:28Speaker 2: too well.
- 10:28Speaker 1: The first time on a plane, but no, no, it's
- 10:30Speaker 1: not someone on international flight. It's exciting.
- 10:32Speaker 2: You just got that extra room to like put the
- 10:34Speaker 2: carry on. You can cut some laps, bob up.
- 10:36Speaker 1: And down not hindered to get out because there is
- 10:40Speaker 1: that like, the only thing hindering is your family.
- 10:43Speaker 2: I mean the downside is long way to walk to
- 10:45Speaker 2: the toilets. Yeah, okay, but it's the business. I wanted
- 10:49Speaker 2: to who's that jacuzzi? I wanted to. But then I think,
- 10:52Speaker 2: like the best part of all on the flight back
- 10:54Speaker 2: overnight flight red eye flight from Balley ten thirty departure,
- 10:58Speaker 2: it's tough. That's the fucking dumbest fly. It's tough. But
- 11:01Speaker 2: then the kids were like, hang on a second, where's
- 11:04Speaker 2: our fucking screens? Everyone's got screens? When we have screens?
- 11:07Speaker 2: And I wanted the kids to fall asleep straight away
- 11:09Speaker 2: because I was like.
- 11:09Speaker 1: You don't get one.
- 11:10Speaker 2: And I was like, oh they're broken, they're not here.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Oh my god, why would you do that?
- 11:15Speaker 2: And then Laura was like, yeah, I actually like to
- 11:17Speaker 2: push the button. I was like, I hit it, like
- 11:20Speaker 2: like I hit a on.
- 11:21Speaker 1: You guys got to be on the same page.
- 11:23Speaker 2: And the kids are like, oh, there's no screens, like sorry,
- 11:25Speaker 2: and no, I guess we'll sleep, And I was like
- 11:27Speaker 2: I guess you will and fell asleep straight away.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Yeah. See, that's the thing with that flight. I feel
- 11:33Speaker 1: like the intention is to go, oh, kids will sleep
- 11:37Speaker 1: on it, kids will sleep. It's not time. But a
- 11:39Speaker 1: lot of the time at backfires because they're also overtied.
- 11:43Speaker 1: They're fucking were the time we moved from that flight
- 11:47Speaker 1: to the day flight back from Bali game changer.
- 11:51Speaker 2: See, although, because that's the activity for the day. But
- 11:54Speaker 2: then how did you go with the time difference? Because
- 11:57Speaker 2: the only good thing was because that was so they
- 11:59Speaker 2: got you know, they got four or five hours sleep
- 12:01Speaker 2: going to bed the next night.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Nah. So see you fly out there at like eleven
- 12:06Speaker 1: thirty am.
- 12:07Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure.
- 12:08Speaker 1: And by the time I walk in my front door
- 12:10Speaker 1: it is like eight pm and the kids go in
- 12:12Speaker 1: the shower, into bed. Seat he later, because that day
- 12:16Speaker 1: is the activity is the floor out of them.
- 12:18Speaker 2: And then you're like, April's got, as we know, so
- 12:22Speaker 2: fucking organized.
- 12:22Speaker 1: She's got like the stuff to play with and the screen.
- 12:25Speaker 2: They have a full day of activities.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Really by the time they get home, they're fucking Sometimes.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Last time, Macey and Oscar fell asleep in the car
- 12:34Speaker 1: on the way home from the airport, straight into bed,
- 12:35Speaker 1: woke up next morning. We moved on with our lives.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Wow.
- 12:38Speaker 1: But I would much rather run that risk than them
- 12:41Speaker 1: not sleeping at home than not sleeping on up in
- 12:44Speaker 1: the air.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Oh you that's high risk, Poppy. She's normally having like
- 12:49Speaker 2: the blacked out room. Yeah, the fucking noise machine of
- 12:52Speaker 2: full pelt. And in the plane she was like, what's this?
- 12:56Speaker 1: But you're good with playing. You can't nap unless it's
- 12:59Speaker 1: on a plane or a bus. No. We've had this
- 13:01Speaker 1: conversation before because when we went to Vegas. As soon
- 13:04Speaker 1: as we got on a plane, you're like, so, I
- 13:07Speaker 1: don't know what it is.
- 13:09Speaker 2: It's like I'm back in the womb, and I'm like,
- 13:10Speaker 2: I know you think that kids they've got so much
- 13:14Speaker 2: room because they're so tiny, it should just be pretty transferred.
- 13:16Speaker 1: But I understand the excitement of it all. For us,
- 13:19Speaker 1: it's worn off because unless you're like, hello, I don't
- 13:22Speaker 1: want to get off. But for them, they're like, this
- 13:25Speaker 1: is fucking crazy.
- 13:26Speaker 2: And I did forget to order them kids meals, which
- 13:29Speaker 2: is that always gets me.
- 13:30Speaker 1: And usually a flight to like Indonesia, it's like would
- 13:33Speaker 1: you like a piping.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Hot spicy Nazi, oh God for the baby, or into
- 13:40Speaker 2: Cabanara like real creamy.
- 13:42Speaker 1: My kids are like when they bring out the seafood
- 13:44Speaker 1: and an everyone it should be Okay, we need to
- 13:46Speaker 1: start something.
- 13:47Speaker 2: We need to start. We started attacking, then ban seafood.
- 13:52Speaker 1: That's why flights.
- 13:53Speaker 2: You want to go after the seafood industry.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Yeah. First of all, I don't think I've ever had
- 13:57Speaker 1: fish belonging the sea, not in the sky, well said, Okay,
- 14:00Speaker 1: I think serve it on a cruise ship up there.
- 14:04Speaker 1: We should be eating birds chicken only like fly fly
- 14:07Speaker 1: What about steak?
- 14:08Speaker 2: Steak's fine?
- 14:11Speaker 1: Have you seen a cow jump very high?
- 14:13Speaker 2: There?
- 14:13Speaker 1: You go? Hey, just on the back of your trip,
- 14:16Speaker 1: because obviously everyone on my holidays on the Wednesday. But
- 14:20Speaker 1: on the back of your trip, I noticed there was
- 14:22Speaker 1: an ongoing theme and families love going to and especially
- 14:27Speaker 1: like me. If I go away, I'm all inclusive and
- 14:30Speaker 1: none of these villa crap. Okay, I want food on demand,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I want drinks on demand. I want my kids entertained
- 14:36Speaker 1: on demand. Yes, I might as well stay home if
- 14:38Speaker 1: I'm going to go to.
- 14:39Speaker 2: A villa, I don't think I'll have a saying a
- 14:41Speaker 2: villa again.
- 14:41Speaker 1: No, I don't need it anyway. The buffet breakfast is
- 14:44Speaker 1: a must now, family, Yes, and I noticed that you
- 14:47Speaker 1: were hoarding food for the rest of the day, which
- 14:50Speaker 1: families do.
- 14:50Speaker 2: I didn't know everyone was doing this.
- 14:52Speaker 1: It's the old thing where it's like, quick, let's eat
- 14:55Speaker 1: heaps here so we can save money on the next meal.
- 14:57Speaker 1: But then as soon as you leave the buffy, you're like,
- 14:59Speaker 1: I'm hungry.
- 15:00Speaker 2: I really wish I had one more cross on.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, So then you start going, okay, well, the
- 15:04Speaker 1: kids are easy because you can the things they really like,
- 15:06Speaker 1: you can hold those. I noticed that you were like
- 15:09Speaker 1: packing pastries and stuff like that, and what was your
- 15:12Speaker 1: form of carry in a bag?
- 15:13Speaker 2: So we initially started out pretty old school, very primitive.
- 15:17Speaker 1: I think in a bucket.
- 15:20Speaker 2: We would just go the old napkin unfolded on the table,
- 15:23Speaker 2: loaded in fold a napkin, and then I'd like kind
- 15:27Speaker 2: of carry it like down the side of crime, like
- 15:29Speaker 2: I'd shimmy out. And it was always like the Balie nine,
- 15:34Speaker 2: like you doing I'm not fucking doing it, And I
- 15:35Speaker 2: don't think the stuff cares.
- 15:37Speaker 1: They couldn't give two shits.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Some people did come for me and say, like, you're
- 15:40Speaker 2: teaching your children that it's okay to steal.
- 15:42Speaker 1: That's a life lesson.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Bro, And I'm like, but that food's just going to
- 15:45Speaker 2: get thrown out right right?
- 15:47Speaker 1: Ash?
- 15:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I don't know. I don't work
- 15:50Speaker 2: in the hotel industry, so I don't know. But people
- 15:52Speaker 2: did say. The number one bit of feedback I got
- 15:55Speaker 2: is that I should start using ziploc.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Bags no offense yep, amateurs okay, what and you fall
- 16:01Speaker 1: into that category nappy bag nah?
- 16:03Speaker 2: Okay, because we use that.
- 16:04Speaker 1: I saw that a weird smell about them.
- 16:07Speaker 2: They do to hide the sense. Yeah my food, yeah,
- 16:10Speaker 2: my cross on. Now it tastes like fucking lavender.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Not for me, not even uncentered somehow centered Yeah, not
- 16:16Speaker 1: for me either. So I will say that good start.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I would say that you're a novice in this situation.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Okay, which I would accept. We've only we're new to
- 16:25Speaker 2: this industry of crime.
- 16:26Speaker 1: So for me and my family, I'm thankfully I'm married
- 16:30Speaker 1: to an expert in this field, the most organized person
- 16:33Speaker 1: on the planet. Because she's not organized, she's crazy.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Okay, and that the most loving way possible.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Oh yeah, love her for this, okay. So if it's
- 16:42Speaker 1: slightly out the organization, mate, you can see the steam
- 16:46Speaker 1: coming out of her ears like she's just like not
- 16:48Speaker 1: functioning with it.
- 16:49Speaker 2: So the buffet is her area of expertise.
- 16:52Speaker 1: It's one of the areas of expertise.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Because actually, because she is just going back, she's the platumum, right,
- 16:57Speaker 2: She's a platam. She's a platumum. And they're the crazy one.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Yes they are. We love them. So my wife checked
- 17:04Speaker 1: in a tackle box, a clear fisherman's tackle box.
- 17:10Speaker 2: Why tackle box?
- 17:11Speaker 1: She checked it into a flight, flew it over to
- 17:14Speaker 1: Bali for the one purpose the buffet tackle box to
- 17:19Speaker 1: hord items for the children to eat throughout the day.
- 17:23Speaker 2: But don't you okay not. I don't want to question
- 17:25Speaker 2: your wife's methods here, But do you think the tackle
- 17:28Speaker 2: box is like it seems like an unusual item to
- 17:32Speaker 2: bring into a buffet, like if she's ever fishing rods
- 17:34Speaker 2: and like a hat in the tackle box in the morning,
- 17:39Speaker 2: Like that would raise alarm bells to me if I
- 17:41Speaker 2: was working at a buffet.
- 17:42Speaker 1: No, it's like I'm gonna show your photo on a
- 17:44Speaker 1: say it's a clear for the listeners at home. It's
- 17:46Speaker 1: a clear, single story tackle box, right, okay, So you
- 17:51Speaker 1: can see it's got all different segments and it fits
- 17:53Speaker 1: perfectly in her oversized travel handbag.
- 17:57Speaker 2: That's okay, that's a key bit of a faae.
- 17:59Speaker 1: But that's still doesn't eliminate the fact you've got to
- 18:02Speaker 1: whip it out onto the table or does she do
- 18:05Speaker 1: that under the table?
- 18:06Speaker 2: On top of it?
- 18:07Speaker 1: Started with under the table and then then she she's
- 18:11Speaker 1: like a bird. She's brazen.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Just she'd get on the table and eat a chip.
- 18:15Speaker 1: Off your fucking plate and take off.
- 18:17Speaker 2: That's how brazen she is, so expand it.
- 18:20Speaker 1: She's the tackle box bandit And realistically I didn't know
- 18:26Speaker 1: any of this was happening until I got there, and
- 18:28Speaker 1: I was like, only you knew the kind of person
- 18:30Speaker 1: that you were marrying.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I know.
- 18:32Speaker 1: There's two photos. This is the first one of young
- 18:34Speaker 1: Macy full tackle box.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Actually that is a good tackle box. Also Macy looks
- 18:39Speaker 2: like I know that is fucking and then Oscar as
- 18:44Speaker 2: well buy the pool tackle box? Is that is amazing?
- 18:49Speaker 2: Can I just take back any questions that I had
- 18:52Speaker 2: about April and her methods because I thought it was
- 18:54Speaker 2: like a tall one that you're.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Like, that'd be the next one, that would be the
- 18:58Speaker 1: next one. When did she buy her? I think she
- 19:00Speaker 1: just got it from Kmar that is genius. But it's
- 19:05Speaker 1: not the first time she's done it. And I said to.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Her yesterday, I was like, has she ever gone on
- 19:09Speaker 2: a trip if you've gotten the tackle box?
- 19:11Speaker 1: Oh?
- 19:11Speaker 2: Yeah, she must, I said it. Yes.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you wouldn't happen to have any
- 19:17Speaker 1: photos of the tackle box down and.
- 19:19Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, I've gone right here. She's gone on
- 19:21Speaker 2: for a future reference album.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Bro, the organizational skills of my wife are next level.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Like just an insight. Okay, when my parents come to
- 19:30Speaker 1: babysit our kids, there's a fucking folder.
- 19:33Speaker 2: I love that.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Okay, I'll bring some of the folder in next time.
- 19:36Speaker 1: But I just saw your thing. I thought that's amateur.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I'm going to steal that. People did say you need
- 19:40Speaker 2: to bring a lunchbox, but that's like a lunch box
- 19:43Speaker 2: on steroids and we'll put these, We'll put that on
- 19:45Speaker 2: social media. So people are like, but how good can
- 19:47Speaker 2: a tackle box be?
- 19:48Speaker 1: Just you wait, you wait, it's look it segregated into differences.
- 19:52Speaker 1: You've got sandwich and that's the thing issue with you're
- 19:55Speaker 1: just taking pastries. My wife's making full fucking sandwiches at
- 19:58Speaker 1: the table and chopping them up with f that I.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Was limited pastries, only get some eggs in that I
- 20:05Speaker 2: went a boiled egg. But I was looking at the
- 20:07Speaker 2: fruit salad like you know there was there was and
- 20:09Speaker 2: the fruit and balley is delicious. I was looking at
- 20:12Speaker 2: the watermelon, the pineapple, and I was like, I.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Cannot so April has separate containers for the fruit.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Oh my god. I know she's like walking in there,
- 20:20Speaker 2: like see her.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Coming, and they're like, no one question her. She knows
- 20:25Speaker 1: what she's doing and she's just spread out making sandwiches.
- 20:29Speaker 2: I mean, there were a couple of mornings where like
- 20:31Speaker 2: Laura would get the kids ready and the next thing
- 20:34Speaker 2: she'd be like walking off the table, by the way,
- 20:37Speaker 2: make sure you bring some pastries back, and I'd be
- 20:38Speaker 2: like fuck, you know. So then I'm at the table
- 20:42Speaker 2: by myself, and they also then like I'd go, I
- 20:45Speaker 2: went to go and take some pastries and I was
- 20:47Speaker 2: anxious from being honest. Then I come back and because
- 20:50Speaker 2: we had a big table all the kids, then there
- 20:52Speaker 2: was a team of the white starting the table and
- 20:55Speaker 2: then I was like.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Just sit back down and started.
- 20:59Speaker 2: He was like.
- 21:01Speaker 1: I just fucking ran.
- 21:02Speaker 2: I had to run back to the room and Laura
- 21:03Speaker 2: was like, what did you what's your hole?
- 21:05Speaker 1: What have you got?
- 21:06Speaker 2: I got nothing?
- 21:07Speaker 1: I can just picture all like the Balinese staff in
- 21:10Speaker 1: the back, just talking shit about all the whities. Yeah yeah,
- 21:12Speaker 1: and they're like, what did you see that person?
- 21:14Speaker 2: She had a tackle box? May want a fucking plastic bag.
- 21:19Speaker 1: It's got a poop bag over there, Matt. Some would
- 21:26Speaker 1: say that tackle boxing is a hack. Some would say
- 21:29Speaker 1: that I would say that, I'd agree. I have stumbled
- 21:32Speaker 1: across a video hacks very short. Yes, that I would
- 21:35Speaker 1: like to show you and just see what your thoughts are,
- 21:36Speaker 1: because I think it's genius and I will be trying it.
- 21:39Speaker 2: It says playing who can get the dirtiest clorox?
- 21:42Speaker 1: What's clorox?
- 21:42Speaker 2: It must be like a spray and white copy that.
- 21:45Speaker 2: And the best part of this plan is no one
- 21:49Speaker 2: can start me.
- 21:51Speaker 1: You get it?
- 21:51Speaker 2: That is very good. So for people who are wondering,
- 21:53Speaker 2: it's a classroom and the teachers they're the cleverest.
- 21:56Speaker 1: I mean, they spend the most time with kids.
- 21:58Speaker 2: They've been type a set of skills.
- 22:01Speaker 1: I hate to go to baring one of them.
- 22:06Speaker 2: So they've got each child with a wet wipe type
- 22:10Speaker 2: cloth and then whoever gets the dirtiest, Oh my god.
- 22:12Speaker 1: So they clean up with them and then whoever's got
- 22:14Speaker 1: the dirtiest wind. So it's a trick.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Teachers need to share more more of their wisdom.
- 22:18Speaker 1: So I'm going to try with Oscar and Mason be like, hey,
- 22:20Speaker 1: they'll probably see through this, but I'll be like, we need.
- 22:23Speaker 2: To wipe all of the surfaces in the house.
- 22:26Speaker 1: But whoever gets the dirtiest wipe gets something that.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Makes He's going to do one of the huge ships
- 22:32Speaker 2: in the toilet, and she's going to hold along.
- 22:36Speaker 1: There you go.
- 22:37Speaker 2: She's just so good at shitting and leaving it. My god,
- 22:42Speaker 2: but you cannot touch your own ship with the wipe,
- 22:44Speaker 2: and she's like, god, damn it out.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Last time we went away, she was like, I just
- 22:49Speaker 1: got to go to the toilet. Sweet, we're pretty much
- 22:50Speaker 1: in the car. And got in the car and I said, day,
- 22:52Speaker 1: but I'm like, before we leave, can you please go
- 22:54Speaker 1: and check the toilets to make sure she flush because
- 22:56Speaker 1: last time she just left it in there.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Remember, Can I actually ask you a question?
- 23:00Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay?
- 23:01Speaker 2: And Vick would hate this. Lucky for reference, Ash and
- 23:05Speaker 2: I talk about ejaculating and ship at least one of
- 23:07Speaker 2: those topics get to mention every episode prerequence and so far.
- 23:11Speaker 2: VIC would be listening and being like, oh my gosh,
- 23:12Speaker 2: they were just talking about buffets all episode's.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Let's talk about a come buffet. Wow, there is So.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Do you find that the toilets in the toilet shape
- 23:28Speaker 2: is a unique design specific only to that region of
- 23:32Speaker 2: the world. BALI, Yeah, it's like that's not the squat
- 23:36Speaker 2: ones flushing ones, like the flush is on the side.
- 23:39Speaker 2: But I was like, I don't know if it's the
- 23:41Speaker 2: design of the scoop.
- 23:42Speaker 1: In the it's very American.
- 23:44Speaker 2: Yeah, my ships looked bigger. I don't know if I
- 23:46Speaker 2: was shitting more because I was at the buffet every morning. Yeah,
- 23:49Speaker 2: you think, so okay, what it was the I like,
- 23:51Speaker 2: I don't know, like no strange level of PSI just
- 23:54Speaker 2: it was like I was doing two ships. It was
- 23:57Speaker 2: the same, the brand of the toilet, because that's what
- 23:59Speaker 2: I was gonna I was gonna be like, what's the
- 24:02Speaker 2: what's that?
- 24:03Speaker 1: Boy, that's ridiculous, It's crazy. The array of toilets across
- 24:08Speaker 1: the world.
- 24:09Speaker 2: That's what I was looking at. I was every time
- 24:11Speaker 2: I went to a bathroom, I was like, well, look
- 24:12Speaker 2: at this bad boy. I've got a Frank fifty two
- 24:16Speaker 2: design here, and.
- 24:17Speaker 1: They got what side flash top flush?
- 24:19Speaker 2: Also they got the bidet as well, so I thought
- 24:21Speaker 2: I was flashing it. And then the fucking day came
- 24:23Speaker 2: and gave me a facial.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I was like a good bi day.
- 24:26Speaker 2: I didn't mind it, a good biday.
- 24:28Speaker 1: When I got back from Japan, I was like, I'm
- 24:30Speaker 1: get one. And then it was like to get a
- 24:31Speaker 1: good one and get it in the store.
- 24:32Speaker 2: It's too much. It takes a care.
- 24:34Speaker 1: It's like a forever home piece, and.
- 24:36Speaker 2: You don't want that with the little kids because they've
- 24:37Speaker 2: got a plane and it's a nightmare. But sorry talking
- 24:40Speaker 2: about toilets though. Within an episode recently, we talked about
- 24:42Speaker 2: the dad he took his daughter into the female toilets,
- 24:46Speaker 2: and I never realized how much women are okay with
- 24:49Speaker 2: dads taking the daughters, young daughters into it.
- 24:52Speaker 1: I had no idea.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I thought that was entirely out of bounds. I thought
- 24:56Speaker 2: there was like like I thought I would get fucking murdered.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I only people that were the problem with it. I'm
- 25:01Speaker 1: middle aged white man.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Yes, And now maybe.
- 25:04Speaker 1: The common denominator here, bro is that you're a problem.
- 25:06Speaker 2: So I do an announcement and I say, I'm a
- 25:09Speaker 2: man coming in here with a child. And I was
- 25:14Speaker 2: just like, I am, I'm a nana coming in here.
- 25:17Speaker 2: So I announce it and then and then I'm allowed.
- 25:19Speaker 2: It's like I'm allowed, and that's good.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Thing.
- 25:21Speaker 2: So far, so good. That's courtesy. Thank you, thank you age.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Because I was also it's hard because at the resort,
- 25:28Speaker 2: you know, I was like, the last thing I need
- 25:29Speaker 2: is to come in there and someone's getting.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Changed because they like the pool changes.
- 25:34Speaker 2: And then I'm like getting done, you know with the
- 25:36Speaker 2: like aren't you the guy's stuff from the buffet and
- 25:38Speaker 2: now you're a pick of tim And I was like,
- 25:40Speaker 2: I can't handle.
- 25:41Speaker 1: You've got a crime list very long.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I think that's something I've learned recently.
- 25:45Speaker 1: I feel like if you're who knew, I feel like,
- 25:47Speaker 1: if you've got a girl child, you're allowed your parents.
- 25:52Speaker 2: City, Yeah, you can do whatever you like. Hey, just quickly,
- 25:56Speaker 2: your book is still available. I still have it's actually
- 25:59Speaker 2: you're still steal pretale. So it's the secret ingredient.

- 26:05Speaker 1: It's riveting, the turning into a movie. Spielberg's onto it well,
- 26:08Speaker 1: Sealburg's onto it, Neel the Seal, Neil the Seal. We're
- 26:11Speaker 1: performing in it.
- 26:12Speaker 2: It's a great book. What do I dare say? One
- 26:15Speaker 2: of the greatest I've ever read.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, I know. I was just about to say that.

- 26:36Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll put the link in the show notes.
- 26:38Speaker 1: The link in the show notes. Yes, yes, hey, something
- 26:40Speaker 1: has come to my attention, Matt. We talk a lot
- 26:43Speaker 1: on this podcast about your wife's feet. Yeah, here and there.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a lot, but yeah here it comes
- 26:51Speaker 1: up every and them. Let's take a little trip down
- 26:52Speaker 1: memory lane. First of all, we found out that she
- 26:55Speaker 1: doesn't shower at night.
- 26:57Speaker 2: She just puts her feet in the sink. Correct, she
- 26:59Speaker 2: gets the nozzle and just.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Like washes the feet, washes the feet. Just give them
- 27:02Speaker 1: a little rints in the morning. Since she will wash
- 27:04Speaker 1: her body and not her feet, she.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Keeps her feet outside the door of the show.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Yeah, and then since then, I think every now and
- 27:12Speaker 1: then it comes up in different ways. Well, it's come
- 27:14Speaker 1: to my attention courtesy of young Lockie over here, who's
- 27:18Speaker 1: provided me with the internet, has rated your wife's.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Feet rated my wife's feet.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so but they've also rated your feet.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Oh who's got better feet?
- 27:28Speaker 1: Well that's that's where it comes from.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Here, can I I'll be honest here and I'll say
- 27:33Speaker 2: I do have a large big toe.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Okay.
- 27:37Speaker 2: You know, if I could change anything about feet, it
- 27:38Speaker 2: would be the size of the big toe. So there
- 27:41Speaker 2: was any mention of the big toe.
- 27:43Speaker 1: No, nothing on that.
- 27:44Speaker 2: Okay, that's good.
- 27:45Speaker 1: What I will say about Maddie Jay's feet is, though,
- 27:47Speaker 1: according to this rating, are a five star foot out
- 27:52Speaker 1: of what five? Wow? And it says gorgeous feet. So
- 27:58Speaker 1: that those two playing at home its is on Wiki
- 28:00Speaker 1: feet and Young Laura BYRN four point six. My gosh, wow,
- 28:09Speaker 1: no comment next to that one, because they're obviously not
- 28:12Speaker 1: gorgeous feet like Maddie Jay's. Let's have a look at
- 28:14Speaker 1: these bad boys.
- 28:15Speaker 2: He's got little chippo lads, little toe trotters. Yeah, hey,
- 28:19Speaker 2: it's you know, it's not something I thought i'd be
- 28:21Speaker 2: known for. But I'd like to thank defeat loving community
- 28:25Speaker 2: out there for admiring my work.
- 28:26Speaker 1: You do have a girthy big toe. Maybe that's what
- 28:29Speaker 1: these foot lovers are into.
- 28:30Speaker 2: They're into the big toe.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy how interfeet people are.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's two types of feet lovers. People who
- 28:37Speaker 2: love more like more of the toe.
- 28:39Speaker 1: And people like to fuck them. No, I mean.
- 28:43Speaker 2: People are just like to look at them, and people
- 28:45Speaker 2: like to people like the souls. Yeah, I'm not much
- 28:50Speaker 2: of a souls don't do it for me. But people
- 28:52Speaker 2: are the underside. Yeah, they're like us, the underside. Give
- 28:55Speaker 2: us the part that you can't see.
- 28:56Speaker 1: A friend of mine has a amputation. It's a fake
- 28:59Speaker 1: an ampute foot flashlight. Sorry, yeah, so it's the it's
- 29:04Speaker 1: the ankle down and then the top of the ankle
- 29:07Speaker 1: is the foot is a vagina.
- 29:09Speaker 2: So he's fucking your ankle. But you're looking at the foot. Okay,
- 29:14Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want to yuck anyone's yarm.
- 29:17Speaker 2: But that's interesting. The pussy ankle, what'll call that?
- 29:21Speaker 1: Yeah, jankle?
- 29:24Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, how did we get here?
- 29:26Speaker 1: I don't know. Somewhere? We were doing so well once
- 29:30Speaker 1: you started with the calm thing, I was like, fuck,
- 29:32Speaker 1: come buffet.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Once that happened, it was all down here. It was
- 29:35Speaker 2: all down here.
- 29:35Speaker 1: It was all down here. Let's move on there.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Let's go to a segment to separate this up. Okay, look,
- 29:39Speaker 2: I've got one pair.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Rant Okay, here do we do it? Intro music? It
- 29:44Speaker 1: go on, let's do it. What I want to.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Say?
- 29:50Speaker 1: What? Man?
- 29:54Speaker 2: I feel like a pair of rant Okay, I got
- 29:57Speaker 2: one here, Ash. This was sent in on the Facebook
- 29:59Speaker 2: group and I thought it was who good not to
- 30:00Speaker 2: share because I know this will rall you up. And
- 30:02Speaker 2: if there's one thing I love in this world, that's
- 30:04Speaker 2: when you get riled up and doesn't know it doesn't
- 30:06Speaker 2: happen often. Well, talking about the angle for JJ is
- 30:09Speaker 2: what are they called again? The vag vaijankle.
- 30:12Speaker 1: I can't take credit for that term because the guy
- 30:15Speaker 1: who he stole it, the guy who we're talking about.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I love how you have to like be like I can't.
- 30:20Speaker 3: I can't.
- 30:21Speaker 1: I'm a professional, okay, And I don't only use my
- 30:25Speaker 1: own material.
- 30:26Speaker 2: You've known me for long enough now that I must
- 30:28Speaker 2: use my own material. The vaj who one of my race.
- 30:31Speaker 1: League friends also I won race league. There you go,
- 30:34Speaker 1: there you go. One.
- 30:36Speaker 2: How did you celebrate? I jerked off, I joked it
- 30:40Speaker 2: in the seat.
- 30:41Speaker 1: I ordered a Vajt Line Express. They do all sorts
- 30:47Speaker 1: of limbs. I literally got a risty. Oh my god,
- 30:53Speaker 1: it's good to be bad. It is good to be bad.
- 30:55Speaker 2: So this one is from Celeste Pie Celeste, she says,
- 30:59Speaker 2: pair round in For context, I have a three and
- 31:01Speaker 2: a half year old and a nearly two year old.
- 31:03Speaker 2: My two year old does not like getting her nappy
- 31:05Speaker 2: changed in parent rooms. Interesting, just on that.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Did you see that they did a swab test on
- 31:11Speaker 1: all of those fold down thing and the traces of
- 31:14Speaker 1: cocaine on every single one. Really not surprised.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Whenever they're doing the swab test, I don't need to
- 31:19Speaker 2: know that information.
- 31:20Speaker 1: They're like, we'll swap test this.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Hang on a second, now, swab testing anything in the bathroom,
- 31:28Speaker 2: you just know it's not going to be a good result.
- 31:30Speaker 1: No, what do they think is going to be on that? Oh, sunflowers?
- 31:32Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like cocaine. Seamen, come pubes and fucking shit.
- 31:37Speaker 1: That's my kind of change room. Wait, oh god, that's
- 31:43Speaker 1: right up rally.
- 31:45Speaker 2: For context, says, yeah, sorry, the three and a half
- 31:47Speaker 2: year old two year old. The two year old does
- 31:48Speaker 2: not like getting a nappy changed in parent rooms, will
- 31:51Speaker 2: literally screen bloody murder if we do. It. Interesting that
- 31:54Speaker 2: the two year old is such a like. It knows
- 31:56Speaker 2: a reaction you have.
- 31:57Speaker 1: It knows already it's going to be a very perceptive.
- 32:00Speaker 2: So we usually resort to the car boot because we
- 32:03Speaker 2: don't want to make life more stressful for us. The
- 32:05Speaker 2: car boot is effective, but obviously not as private. Okay,
- 32:09Speaker 2: now the rant they weigh. My blood boils when I
- 32:11Speaker 2: am unpacking the prem placing my older child in their
- 32:14Speaker 2: car seat, then changing my youngest snappy, keeping everything running
- 32:18Speaker 2: calmly and smoothly, because you know toddler's she says ash.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Then having someone pull up behind you, peeping their head
- 32:26Speaker 2: out whilst my toddler is fully exposed from the rear,
- 32:28Speaker 2: just to say, are you leaving? I actually think that's
- 32:31Speaker 2: a fair question.
- 32:33Speaker 1: If you can't, I don't think.
- 32:35Speaker 2: I think the car boots not as obvious to others.
- 32:40Speaker 1: I think if I look, I edge on the rule
- 32:44Speaker 1: of go on. If I'm in a car park looking
- 32:46Speaker 1: for a car space, if I see a family leaving.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I'd give that a wide berth because of And I
- 32:54Speaker 1: would say the question from the driver fair. Nothing wrong
- 32:57Speaker 1: with the question, because you're just asking if they're leaving.
- 33:00Speaker 1: But I think it comes down to the awareness of
- 33:02Speaker 1: who you're asking. So if I'm driving past and I
- 33:05Speaker 1: see a mum loading a baby into a car, I'm
- 33:08Speaker 1: going straight past because she doesn't need the added stress
- 33:11Speaker 1: of waiting for me.
- 33:11Speaker 2: It does. It does add a level of pressure to
- 33:14Speaker 2: an already very stressless And so if.
- 33:15Speaker 1: You've got a couple of kids involved the area for
- 33:18Speaker 1: things to go wrong, it's much greater because it could
- 33:22Speaker 1: be so simple as maybe bumping your kids head on
- 33:25Speaker 1: the way into the car. Then you've got to melt down. Kid,
- 33:28Speaker 1: you're trying to change your nappy and fuck with behind
- 33:31Speaker 1: you turns up and goes are you leaving? Yeah, I'm leaving,
- 33:35Speaker 1: But how about you come and finish changing my baby's nappy?
- 33:37Speaker 1: First year? Fuck with?
- 33:38Speaker 2: There?
- 33:39Speaker 1: He is? There he is. But I would say it
- 33:42Speaker 1: comes out the question is not the problem, it is
- 33:45Speaker 1: the who you are.
- 33:46Speaker 2: She says, I'm already operating like it's an emergency because
- 33:48Speaker 2: of toddlers. She's diffusing a bomb and not only are
- 33:51Speaker 2: you glaring right up the ainus of my child, but
- 33:54Speaker 2: you're also adding the unnecessary pressure for me to pack
- 33:56Speaker 2: up and leave very quickly so that you can save
- 33:58Speaker 2: a couple of minutes to find elsewhere.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Fuck, I'd slow down.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Some extra context. This is in a westfield in western Sydney,
- 34:06Speaker 2: which has plenty of parking, as it was mid morning
- 34:10Speaker 2: and not peak season. If it were Christmas, I'd be
- 34:12Speaker 2: a little more reasonable. This sounds. This is like Celeste
- 34:15Speaker 2: is like the female ash. It sounds and she's like,
- 34:18Speaker 2: and let me get don't get me started on.
- 34:20Speaker 1: The vas It's like, if there's plenty of parks, this
- 34:25Speaker 1: person's just a lazy fuck. I agree trying to get close,
- 34:28Speaker 1: but I think I would much rather prefer you to
- 34:30Speaker 1: sit in your car, idling with your blinker on two
- 34:33Speaker 1: cars back and waiting for me. Okay, I'd much rather
- 34:37Speaker 1: that because as soon as someone gets a bit pushy,
- 34:39Speaker 1: I slow down.
- 34:40Speaker 2: It takes me fucking ten minutes, especially at the beach, yeah,
- 34:44Speaker 2: to get you.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Know, the kids in and like that's and I've had
- 34:46Speaker 1: someone ask me when the kids. So what I would
- 34:48Speaker 1: do from the beach specifically is April would go wash
- 34:51Speaker 1: the kids off. I would carry every belonging that we owned,
- 34:54Speaker 1: because we had to take everything we owned the beach.
- 34:56Speaker 2: Apparently that's what you need.
- 34:57Speaker 1: The fucking couch of the fridge anyway, carry all that
- 35:00Speaker 1: to the car so that I can load that in
- 35:03Speaker 1: and when the kids come, we can get in and go. Right.
- 35:05Speaker 1: But sometimes, especially in summer, which is fair, someone to
- 35:08Speaker 1: come and go, hey are you leaving? Mate? Oh? Go yeah,
- 35:10Speaker 1: but I'm waiting on two kids under five, And ninety
- 35:13Speaker 1: percent of people go, ah, yeah, come out of here
- 35:16Speaker 1: because they've got a brain, because they've got a brain.
- 35:19Speaker 1: But old mate, who fucking can't go three spaces back,
- 35:21Speaker 1: whether it's free, wants to put someone else's day under pressure.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Get real, get real.
- 35:26Speaker 2: I love the pattern. This is. This is when you're
- 35:29Speaker 2: at your best.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Actually have a couple of doted dilemmas. I think we
- 35:33Speaker 2: have a song for this. We have a song, Yeah,
- 35:35Speaker 2: we do.
- 35:35Speaker 1: We have a song for everything. Well, let's make another song.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Now you need us more than ever, know that we
- 35:44Speaker 1: still have each other. You can send sure doting dilemma.
- 35:49Speaker 1: You can send sure doting dilemma.
- 35:51Speaker 3: All right, Matt, I don't know who This is from
- 35:53Speaker 3: It's anonymous, and it goes like, so are you a
- 35:57Speaker 3: good parent if the only thing you do is bring
- 36:01Speaker 3: in the money?
- 36:02Speaker 1: So you're the primary provider, the breadwinner, the bread and
- 36:06Speaker 1: I think like breadwinner.
- 36:07Speaker 2: Is a bit of a shit way to put it.
- 36:09Speaker 1: I think like everyone's got their job. I just think
- 36:10Speaker 1: the word breadwinner is a bit like.
- 36:12Speaker 2: I think it's obviously an important part. It's a good
- 36:15Speaker 2: piece of the puzzle that needs to be there. You know,
- 36:17Speaker 2: if you're in a relationship where one person is working
- 36:20Speaker 2: and bringing in financial security, then other person is not
- 36:23Speaker 2: looking after the kids. Obviously it's it's it's.
- 36:25Speaker 1: A critical part.
- 36:26Speaker 2: But I think I look at when I was growing up,
- 36:29Speaker 2: and when you're a kid, like you don't really appreciate
- 36:33Speaker 2: the fact that you've got food on the table or
- 36:34Speaker 2: a roof over your head. You're just like that's fucking
- 36:36Speaker 2: pretty standard, right, I mean.
- 36:38Speaker 1: At that age you think it standard. Yeah, yeah.
- 36:40Speaker 2: And I think the issue is those types of parents,
- 36:44Speaker 2: mainly dads, who are looking at that responsibility as being
- 36:49Speaker 2: like they're kind of ben end all your only job
- 36:52Speaker 2: responsibility as a parent. I think they're going to find
- 36:55Speaker 2: it pretty tough because the kids don't really have any
- 36:58Speaker 2: level of appreciation for and so you're also going to
- 37:01Speaker 2: get prestred at the kids. I remember my dad would
- 37:03Speaker 2: be like, I work so hard with this family, and
- 37:06Speaker 2: we're like, yeah, but I just I would rather hang out.
- 37:08Speaker 1: With you for sure, and like it's let's just take
- 37:12Speaker 1: the word good for a sec. That's pretty subjective in
- 37:15Speaker 1: terms of parenting because everyone they're better at certain things
- 37:18Speaker 1: and they bring certain things to the table. So I
- 37:21Speaker 1: think the word good probably doesn't. I wouldn't say you're
- 37:23Speaker 1: a bad parent for just providing finances. Maybe that's how
- 37:27Speaker 1: it was discussed and agreed upon and whatever.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Everyone's going to be different.
- 37:30Speaker 1: I think what would make a good parent to a
- 37:33Speaker 1: great parent in that situation would be that you are
- 37:37Speaker 1: open to it being more than just providing money. Right,
- 37:40Speaker 1: So if you've had a kid because you made that choice,
- 37:43Speaker 1: you can't just be like, well I pay for them.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:46Speaker 1: The way I see that there is it's like, okay, well,
- 37:49Speaker 1: if that's the case, why did you become a parent
- 37:52Speaker 1: when you could have just got animals pets? And then
- 37:56Speaker 1: also as well, I think like it is so old school,
- 37:59Speaker 1: yeah about this, you're the breadwinner Okay, I hate that word.
- 38:04Speaker 1: But you're the breadwinner, aright, and you come home and
- 38:07Speaker 1: you love getting your hands dirty with being a parent
- 38:09Speaker 1: as well. What sort of parent are you? Then you're
- 38:12Speaker 1: a fucking great parent.
- 38:13Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're going to build the relationship with your
- 38:15Speaker 2: child is going to be so much more robust as
- 38:17Speaker 2: opposed to that person who just comes home and goes, hey, Billy,
- 38:21Speaker 2: you know I put in two thousand dollars into the
- 38:23Speaker 2: bank account this week.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Good night?
- 38:25Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, they get like you said, give a shit.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I just put myself in the position and it's like,
- 38:29Speaker 1: I come home, I've put I've been able to provide
- 38:32Speaker 1: my family. First of all, I feel proud about that.
- 38:34Speaker 1: But then I get my I get stuck in with
- 38:35Speaker 1: the kids and enjoy it, and then my wife's happy
- 38:39Speaker 1: about I think I'm fucking happy. My wife would be
- 38:41Speaker 1: about that. She's like and then also as well, she's like, fuck,
- 38:43Speaker 1: this guy's attractive. There's so many knock ons for being
- 38:46Speaker 1: from going from good to great?
- 38:48Speaker 2: Do you know what I reckon? Maybe I'm putting till
- 38:50Speaker 2: into to make five here, but I think if I
- 38:54Speaker 2: had the option of just someone was asking what do
- 38:56Speaker 2: you think is going to be an easier day for
- 38:58Speaker 2: you. You're either going to work, like do your admin and
- 39:02Speaker 2: emails all day, or you're going to have the kids
- 39:04Speaker 2: all day. Obviously, I get like a lot more out
- 39:08Speaker 2: of emotionally working with the kids, being with the kids,
- 39:11Speaker 2: But it's an easier day if I'm just on my
- 39:14Speaker 2: own working. And I think there's a lot of people
- 39:17Speaker 2: out there, dads especially, who lean on the fact that
- 39:21Speaker 2: they're like, well, I'm providing for the family as a
- 39:23Speaker 2: way of ignoring the fact that it's just a hell
- 39:26Speaker 2: of a lot easier being at work and not being
- 39:28Speaker 2: with the kids.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and like, look, everyone's situation is going to be different.
- 39:31Speaker 1: People have got really stressful jobs that are important, right,
- 39:34Speaker 1: Like we've got we're talking about, you know, doctors, you know,
- 39:37Speaker 1: loyal all those sort of people that like society really
- 39:40Speaker 1: relies on. But at the same time, why did you
- 39:43Speaker 1: have a kid? If you're willing to do nothing but
- 39:45Speaker 1: pay for them, You might as well be single and
- 39:47Speaker 1: pay supportive, supportive family financially if you've got nothing to
- 39:51Speaker 1: do with it. I think it's very like it is
- 39:53Speaker 1: definitely being bred out because I think like one of
- 39:56Speaker 1: the guys in Oscar soccer team. He's on a sabbatical
- 39:58Speaker 1: this year, and he was like, like, it's crazy that
- 40:01Speaker 1: as soon as I took a step back from working
- 40:04Speaker 1: so much, everything in my life is so much better. Yeah,
- 40:07Speaker 1: Like the relationship with his kids, He's like, I'm doing
- 40:10Speaker 1: drop off at a reasonable time, and he's like he
- 40:12Speaker 1: and his wife were both high up corporate drop off
- 40:15Speaker 1: at seven am, pick up at six pm, like, but
- 40:17Speaker 1: they love their kids. But at the same time, it
- 40:19Speaker 1: was like, he's like, I'm so thankful that I've taken
- 40:23Speaker 1: this break just so that I can see that the
- 40:25Speaker 1: providing is great.
- 40:27Speaker 2: But my kids want me as well, right, And I reckon,
- 40:31Speaker 2: especially when they're still in primary school. And obviously it's
- 40:33Speaker 2: easy for someone to say, well, just like pause your career. Yeah,
- 40:37Speaker 2: but I think if you're going to clock in those
- 40:39Speaker 2: crazy hours, I think it's when the kids don't want
- 40:41Speaker 2: you when they're in high school and they're like fuck off, dad.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Yeah. And I also think like you find some balance somewhere.
- 40:46Speaker 1: It might not be like every day that you have
- 40:48Speaker 1: time to invest so much into your kids, but if
- 40:50Speaker 1: you're going to work fucking ridiculous out If I'm working
- 40:53Speaker 1: ridiculous house. I'm saying, Aprile. Look, the next two weeks,
- 40:55Speaker 1: I'm fucking back to back, but I've taken an extra
- 40:58Speaker 1: day off work after that so that i could spend
- 41:01Speaker 1: it with you guys, because obviously we need to and
- 41:03Speaker 1: cost a living.
- 41:04Speaker 2: Of course, people got to work more and more and
- 41:05Speaker 2: more and more and more. That's it is what it is.
- 41:07Speaker 1: But I think like you've still got to find those
- 41:10Speaker 1: moments as a parent at any time of the day
- 41:13Speaker 1: to be like I am more than just a money
- 41:16Speaker 1: bank a bank account.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Ash. We've got to have one more
- 41:19Speaker 2: question here. This is from Jess. It was sent in
- 41:22Speaker 2: on the Facebook group, which is just such a fantastic group. Ah,
- 41:27Speaker 2: if you are a parent actually and you're like having
- 41:29Speaker 2: an awful time with the kids, just put the TV
- 41:31Speaker 2: on and jump on the Facebook group. Oh yeah, come
- 41:34Speaker 2: and join us AND's scroll it. She goes, I am
- 41:35Speaker 2: dying with back to back daycare sicknesses and I'm in
- 41:38Speaker 2: my third trimester. Congratulations. All the flues, the gashtro you
- 41:42Speaker 2: name it. The question is do I pull them out
- 41:46Speaker 2: before baby comes or push through for some one on
- 41:49Speaker 2: one time with the new baby. I feel guilty either way.
- 41:52Speaker 1: I would say, look, everyone's fucking sick at the moment.
- 41:55Speaker 2: I would say, everyone is sick at the moment. What
- 41:57Speaker 2: the fuck is going on? Just like I feel like
- 42:00Speaker 2: there's always like bird Flu's coming, bird flu.
- 42:02Speaker 1: I feel like this is how it works, right, one
- 42:05Speaker 1: year everyone's sick, the next year everyone's like, we're sweet,
- 42:08Speaker 1: next year sick. Very cyclical, cyclical sick lickicl.
- 42:15Speaker 2: That's in the episode right there.
- 42:17Speaker 1: I think with this one, I reckon. I'll just say
- 42:20Speaker 1: what I think.
- 42:21Speaker 2: Go please, that's all I ask for, ash, is it?
- 42:25Speaker 1: I would push through what Yeah, i'd push through because.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Yeah, you've come this far.
- 42:30Speaker 1: You've come this far. Also, you're better off building the
- 42:32Speaker 1: immune than coddling it too much. So I think you'll go,
- 42:36Speaker 1: all right, I'll bring him home, things the right thing
- 42:38Speaker 1: to do. And then all of a sudden you're like,
- 42:39Speaker 1: oh fuck, this kid's sick and they're here and it's
- 42:42Speaker 1: like or it's like, this kid's home. I can't get
- 42:45Speaker 1: anything done. Like I think that time when you're about
- 42:48Speaker 1: to have another child, Yeah, you need to spend those
- 42:51Speaker 1: first little time really putting the work in there. I
- 42:56Speaker 1: am not having someone because that kid's not going to
- 42:58Speaker 1: understand just thinks, oh, I'm off school. But then also
- 43:00Speaker 1: it's going to be like I bored, I want to
- 43:02Speaker 1: do things.
- 43:02Speaker 2: But you're also like this kid is going to be
- 43:04Speaker 2: a machine when they're older. Oh yeah. The amount of
- 43:07Speaker 2: illnesses that they receive, like that immune system is going
- 43:10Speaker 2: to be when people are like wash your hands, Timmy.
- 43:12Speaker 2: I'm like, nah, let them play with this shit and
- 43:14Speaker 2: have lunch. Yeah, for system. Immune system needs cough on
- 43:18Speaker 2: my kid. I don't know yet. If you want to
- 43:21Speaker 2: build an immune system, just go to an old people's
- 43:23Speaker 2: home with there's lots of honors and just sending your
- 43:25Speaker 2: kid there. Oh yeah, they'll be kissing your left, right,
