- 5:14Speaker 3: No, there is no greater honor, I think, in this
- 5:20Speaker 3: world than having a permanent tattoo to resemble what is
- 5:25Speaker 3: a beautiful friendship.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Well said, it's gonna be awkward, and I'm going to
- 5:28Speaker 1: get it covered up anyway. Do you like it? I

- 5:36Speaker 1: I wouldn't have got it if I didn't like it. Wow,
- 5:39Speaker 1: do I have regret? No?
- 5:43Speaker 3: I this is wild.

- 6:31Speaker 1: It is a very heavy June is like a big

- 6:34Speaker 3: It's a cluster.
- 6:35Speaker 1: It is well said, we have got you, Jess Marley Oscar. Yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 1: it's all happening. It's like four.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I got my life, that's all I need.
- 6:46Speaker 3: We had Marley's birthday on the weekend.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I did see that.
- 6:49Speaker 3: On Sunday. Sunday we decided to have at home, which
- 6:53Speaker 3: was a decision that I was regretting.
- 6:56Speaker 1: The flying Yoga Noga.
- 6:58Speaker 3: It's so expensive. It was so expensive and we didn't
- 7:01Speaker 3: know enough people. You can't pay for the class, you
- 7:04Speaker 3: don't pay per head.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Oh you got to book the whole class.
- 7:06Speaker 3: It was.
- 7:06Speaker 1: It was like nuts, okay, if you aren't, excuse me,
- 7:11Speaker 1: if you're going to book the whole class out. How
- 7:13Speaker 1: much we talking.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Like, I think I don't want to shit on them
- 7:16Speaker 3: as a business, but I think it was like five
- 7:17Speaker 3: hundred bucks.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Jesus, I know.
- 7:19Speaker 3: I was like, ill, I love my child, but not
- 7:23Speaker 3: that much. So we had it at home and it
- 7:27Speaker 3: was nice. Great numbers. Great numbers actually kind of limited
- 7:30Speaker 3: it to about about ten and I finally at this
- 7:35Speaker 3: age now Morley turned six, and it's a it's an
- 7:39Speaker 3: age where there's a bit of segregation between the boys
- 7:41Speaker 3: and the girls.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Oh yes, so there's.
- 7:43Speaker 3: A couple of boys came. They were a little bit like,
- 7:47Speaker 3: what the hell is this?
- 7:48Speaker 1: This is a girl's party.
- 7:49Speaker 3: We had a fairy and we had ribbons and like
- 7:53Speaker 3: she did, like play the music everyone with the ribbons, and.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Were there any boys suspiciously into it?
- 7:59Speaker 3: Why would try to coax the boys off the couch
- 8:02Speaker 3: and be like, come on, fellas, let's do it. And
- 8:04Speaker 3: they were like this sucks. And I kind of said
- 8:06Speaker 3: to Laura, like maybe next year we just make it.
- 8:08Speaker 3: You can make it all girls.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Fine, it's a tricky one. Unless it's flying yoga, because
- 8:13Speaker 1: then the boys will be into it, real into it.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Yeah, but the most stressful part ash most stressful part pinnadas. Yeah,
- 8:23Speaker 3: are you a pinarda family?
- 8:24Speaker 1: No, I don't think we've ever voluntarily had one.
- 8:27Speaker 3: It's very confusing for kids when you're trying to explain
- 8:32Speaker 3: to them, you know, violence is bad, aggression is also bad.
- 8:37Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden there's a one little window.
- 8:39Speaker 3: It's like the purge. Yeah, it's very it's weird, like
- 8:45Speaker 3: we're like, it's like, you're gonna like hang someone. I'm
- 8:50Speaker 3: like hoisting up this unicorn that's hanging from the neck.
- 8:54Speaker 3: And then I also realized that I was like, I
- 8:56Speaker 3: don't have I don't have a bat, nothing to like,
- 8:59Speaker 3: I have no weapon.
- 9:00Speaker 1: They got to hit with something. I don't imagine hitting
- 9:02Speaker 1: this because I called you when I was at the park.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're looking for sticks, scouring for sticks. So
- 9:07Speaker 1: it was just at the park by myself, like going
- 9:09Speaker 1: through bushes. So I found the stick, brought it back
- 9:12Speaker 1: hoisted up by the neck. The unicorn is hanging right there. Actually,
- 9:15Speaker 1: I love how we hoist up something they love and
- 9:17Speaker 1: then get them to hit it with the stick so weird.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I'm like, everyone line up right now, and they're like,
- 9:23Speaker 1: where is it.
- 9:24Speaker 3: They've just been like dancing with the ribbons and I'm like,
- 9:26Speaker 3: now we will kill an.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Animal and they're like, what not only an animal? Your
- 9:31Speaker 1: favorite animal.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Mum has been there stuffing it in the asshole with
- 9:35Speaker 3: chocolate and lollies.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Make it, make it and this is the most horrible
- 9:41Speaker 1: day of It's like, put me out of my misery.
- 9:45Speaker 1: And then there's so pathetic and hitting it too. The
- 9:47Speaker 1: unicorns like make it quick. The kids are like death
- 9:53Speaker 1: by a thousand cuts or whatever. It's like we'll get
- 9:57Speaker 1: there in the end. It'll really dive starve Asian brutal.
- 10:02Speaker 3: The hardest thing is crowd control for a pinard, especially
- 10:06Speaker 3: with a stick, and we're blindfold We didn't go blindfold smart,
- 10:11Speaker 3: thank you, Health and Safety didn't allow for it, so
- 10:14Speaker 3: we had to. I was holding back the kids, It's
- 10:16Speaker 3: like stay back, and then we allowed two hits per person,
- 10:20Speaker 3: a double hit, and then they're like give me it
- 10:22Speaker 3: all like and then we had like one of the
- 10:24Speaker 3: boys was like fucking knocked the ship out of this
- 10:27Speaker 3: fucking unicorn and we're like, all right, Timmy not too hard. Yeah,
- 10:31Speaker 3: tendency that kid, Luckily Timmy's is a worry. Yeah, got
- 10:36Speaker 3: through one round, two hits each beautiful.
- 10:38Speaker 1: It's also encouraging animal cruelty. It's it's absurd, such mixed messaging.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Once you're doing it cultfully and then we love it,
- 10:48Speaker 1: it's oh yeah, look it's it's a weird anticipation. You know,
- 10:53Speaker 1: for good five minutes you just cheer it, cheering on
- 10:56Speaker 1: the kids to slaughter the unicorn. Let me ask you this,
- 10:59Speaker 1: how was What are you like with lots of kids
- 11:01Speaker 1: in your house and cleaning up? Are you do you
- 11:04Speaker 1: get anxious about the cleanup or do you just let
- 11:06Speaker 1: it all happen and clean up later.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Weirdly, I was pretty chill. Do you know who was anxious?
- 11:12Speaker 1: Nana Marley? Oh really, yeah, that's good.
- 11:16Speaker 3: We gave them a treat each if they cleaned their room.
- 11:20Speaker 3: They cleaned the room. Room was spotless. Actually a really
- 11:22Speaker 3: good job. If anyone needs to clean up, Marley and
- 11:24Speaker 3: Lola definitely recommend them. And the room was spotless. People came,
- 11:30Speaker 3: and you know, kids come. After a little while, they
- 11:33Speaker 3: kind of split up. A few of them went into
- 11:34Speaker 3: Marley's room and outside Marley was like, hey, that's a
- 11:39Speaker 3: bit of a problem, and I said, what's the problem?
- 11:41Speaker 3: What's going on? She goes on, kids are in my
- 11:43Speaker 3: room making it so messy right now. She's like it's
- 11:46Speaker 3: going to be a nightmare to clean up.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Shit's everywhere.
- 11:50Speaker 3: And I was like, Oh, that's okay, don't worry about it.
- 11:52Speaker 3: And she was like, ah, I just cleaned it as well.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Yeah. Can we get them out of there? And it's
- 11:58Speaker 1: such an inconvenience really yeah.
- 12:00Speaker 3: She's like the thing I got onto the costume is
- 12:02Speaker 3: you blow on the floor.
- 12:03Speaker 1: She's like, can we just have made an absolute mess? Animals?
- 12:06Speaker 1: It's like, where's the unicorn?
- 12:09Speaker 3: So Marley was the one not into it, and I
- 12:12Speaker 3: was like, I was like, relaxed, it's cool, people having
- 12:14Speaker 3: a good time.
- 12:15Speaker 1: We can clean up later when they've left.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Yeah, And she was like, I just I just want
- 12:18Speaker 3: to get the place clean again.
- 12:19Speaker 1: It's like I'm like her, man, it's like me, I can't.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I can't let it go. And I'm like if it's like,
- 12:26Speaker 1: we've got just it's not a party. So we've got
- 12:28Speaker 1: people having a bunch of kids in my house and
- 12:30Speaker 1: they make an absolute mess, which they usually do not
- 12:32Speaker 1: blaming anyone's kids, in particular, if you're watching listening Timmy,
- 12:36Speaker 1: Mike's kids like two reckon Balls, Rice or it's like
- 12:42Speaker 1: and then like I'm just so anxious that I need
- 12:45Speaker 1: to clean up all the time, and it's like I
- 12:47Speaker 1: don't really need to, I could just do it later.
- 12:49Speaker 3: The downside now is that we've got a mountain of
- 12:52Speaker 3: cardboard behind the house.
- 12:53Speaker 1: That's the worst.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Like we've got we need to get a bigger bin
- 12:56Speaker 3: for the blue cardboard. Like even on the street, every
- 12:59Speaker 3: time on there's a blue bin da, everyone is full
- 13:03Speaker 3: to the brim.
- 13:03Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, there's too much cardboard in the world,
- 13:07Speaker 1: way too much. It's ridiculous, Like I can't, I can't
- 13:11Speaker 1: beat it's beating me.
- 13:12Speaker 3: I was watching Maley like unwrap the Presence and one
- 13:14Speaker 3: was like a Barbie toy and I was like, more cardboard,
- 13:16Speaker 3: I know.
- 13:17Speaker 1: And it's like, I suppose we can just burn it.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Let'll be back the environment.
- 13:22Speaker 3: But then I have the guilt I feel putting it
- 13:24Speaker 3: in the red bin.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I can't. I know it myself, I know it's fucked.
- 13:28Speaker 1: My sister said it yesterday pretty bluntly. She was like, oh,
- 13:31Speaker 1: rubbish in our house is Ryan's full time job. Now
- 13:34Speaker 1: it's like because you're like you have to be on
- 13:37Speaker 1: it all the time because if you let it, it's
- 13:39Speaker 1: like washing. If you miss the day washing, you've got
- 13:41Speaker 1: like sixty five lowers, you'll take over. You'll take over.
- 13:44Speaker 1: The house is a majority cardboard. Next thing you're in
- 13:47Speaker 1: a current affair and like the wad house. Yeah, I
- 13:50Speaker 1: was like, oh, maybe I'll get the kids to build
- 13:52Speaker 1: something out of the boxes. That just made it worse.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Now I've got a big structure because you can't move that.
- 13:58Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to move. I've like I've made it worse.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I've brought the rubbish back indoors for them to build something,
- 14:04Speaker 1: and now I can't even get rid of it. It's
- 14:07Speaker 1: like part of the family. I'm over it. Anyway.
- 14:11Speaker 3: We did though, for the party. We announced it to
- 14:14Speaker 3: the parents and said, hey, it's a drop and go.
- 14:15Speaker 3: You are game if you want, Like we're like that's
- 14:18Speaker 3: cool and like it was interesting. Some people came drop
- 14:21Speaker 3: the kid off and they're like, they're like, oh, stay
- 14:24Speaker 3: for a bit, and I said, you want to drink
- 14:25Speaker 3: and go? Yeah, I'd love a drink, And they ended
- 14:26Speaker 3: up staying two party shots. I was like, she had
- 14:32Speaker 3: like a tray of tequila. But then like another dad
- 14:35Speaker 3: would come in and he'd.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Be like, h so this is a drop and go
- 14:39Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, you go sweet see it.
- 14:42Speaker 1: I got like a puff of smoke straight out of that. Yeah.
- 14:47Speaker 3: But successful, successful, successful?
- 14:49Speaker 1: Is it Sunday party?
- 14:52Speaker 3: Again? Not to attack Laurie here, I just want to
- 14:55Speaker 3: just put that out there, make everyone aware. I'm not
- 14:57Speaker 3: criticizing my wife.
- 14:58Speaker 1: What do you call it? Then, I'm just making an observation. Yes,
- 15:03Speaker 1: I like it. I'm with you.
- 15:04Speaker 3: So sometimes when Laura is making plans, she'll suggest something.
- 15:08Speaker 3: I don't listen properly. I just agree to it, and
- 15:13Speaker 3: then when it comes closer to the moment, I then go,
- 15:16Speaker 3: hang on a second, Oh yeah.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Why is it like this? Yeah, don't be that guy.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Here's a question for you.
- 15:23Speaker 1: Okay, here's a question for you.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Okay. I won't tell you the time of the party. Yeah,
- 15:30Speaker 3: what is the perfect time for a kid's party?
- 15:33Speaker 1: Two thirty pm? What?
- 15:37Speaker 3: Yeah it's too late?
- 15:38Speaker 2: No?
- 15:39Speaker 1: Too late?
- 15:41Speaker 3: Why two thirty?
- 15:42Speaker 1: Because I feel like between twelve and two you can
- 15:45Speaker 1: be like, oh, kids, we're gonna have a bit of
- 15:46Speaker 1: downtime because we're going to be launching this afternoon for
- 15:50Speaker 1: this party. And I also use that to be like,
- 15:52Speaker 1: if you don't have a bit of downtime, then we
- 15:54Speaker 1: can't have the party. And they'll be like, oh shit,
- 15:56Speaker 1: you know, and then two thirty hour and a half,
- 15:59Speaker 1: everyone's out by four four point thirty, see you later,
- 16:02Speaker 1: and then I can clean up.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Why don't you have it first thing in the morning
- 16:05Speaker 3: at ten o'clock.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Because I want to have a beer. I feel like
- 16:09Speaker 1: it's more appropriate to have a beer at two thirty
- 16:11Speaker 1: this afternoon, especially if it's Saturday. You know, if Laura
- 16:17Speaker 1: and I have a breakup, and if you're in april
- 16:19Speaker 1: of a breakup, you should marry Laura. Don't you dare
- 16:21Speaker 1: put your hands anywhere near my wife. I'm not saying
- 16:24Speaker 1: I'm inviting you, you're inviting me. I don't have other
- 16:28Speaker 1: them both. That's fine.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Laura said two to four, and I was like, that's
- 16:31Speaker 3: pretty late on a Sunday. It's pretty late.
- 16:34Speaker 1: I'm getting. I'm getting. I'm coming to think that me
- 16:36Speaker 1: and Laura a pretty compatible. I get the same thing, Laura.
- 16:40Speaker 1: If you're have a single day, don't be silly don't
- 16:42Speaker 1: be silly. I'm sure.
- 16:43Speaker 3: I think I think a ten to twelve party is
- 16:46Speaker 3: perfect because you kind of miss lunch. You don't to
- 16:48Speaker 3: feed them that much there, and then like they're not
- 16:51Speaker 3: going to hang around because four o'clock people want to
- 16:53Speaker 3: stay for dinner.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Not in my house, they don't. It's freezing. I think
- 16:58Speaker 1: it's good to like two four because it's also you
- 17:02Speaker 1: can be like you're not gonna do I'm gonna hop
- 17:03Speaker 1: these little shits up on sugar and send them home
- 17:06Speaker 1: and be someone else's problem. But also like morning, I
- 17:09Speaker 1: get it, get it out of the way, like some
- 17:10Speaker 1: people like a good morning party. But yeah, I'm all
- 17:13Speaker 1: about the afternoon. Here's a question for you. Actually, he
- 17:16Speaker 1: is gonna rock your world. I'm ready to be right.
- 17:19Speaker 1: My niece got invited to a party. Birthday parties just three,
- 17:23Speaker 1: so I'm assuming it's a four year old's party because
- 17:25Speaker 1: it's the same age. It was one pm. I guess
- 17:30Speaker 1: what day?
- 17:32Speaker 3: Saturday?
- 17:33Speaker 1: Monday? What? Sorry? Right, did you just say it was
- 17:38Speaker 1: Aday Monday for a birthday party? Yeah? She doesn't go
- 17:43Speaker 1: to daycare this kid. I'm not sure why I'm not.
- 17:45Speaker 1: They might have their reasons, but I'm not sure the
- 17:47Speaker 1: parents work. I don't know the details, but I was
- 17:50Speaker 1: just so rattled by that.
- 17:51Speaker 3: I'm like, I was like, no, although, is that the
- 17:56Speaker 3: smartest move that we've seen from a parent so far?
- 17:58Speaker 1: I think it might be you're like, you instantly dwindle
- 18:02Speaker 1: your numbers down.
- 18:03Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good culling.
- 18:05Speaker 1: But then it's sad for the child.
- 18:07Speaker 3: But how old are they?
- 18:08Speaker 1: Three? Four? I don't remember anything.
- 18:10Speaker 3: They don't have a conscience until they're like six, that
- 18:15Speaker 3: is the right word, conscience.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. They just give me in crimes and
- 18:19Speaker 1: stuff and just sleeping perfectly self aware here they are, well,
- 18:24Speaker 1: they don't how many friends they have. If they go
- 18:26Speaker 1: to a birthday party on a weekend and there's like
- 18:28Speaker 1: twenty kids there, and then they have a birthday party
- 18:30Speaker 1: on a Monday and there's like four kids, that is
- 18:32Speaker 1: an interesting time, I know. And like I said, I
- 18:35Speaker 1: don't know the reasoning behind it, but well, I was shocked.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I was in shock. I'm stilling shot.
- 18:39Speaker 3: I mean, we're not we're not here to judge, but like,
- 18:43Speaker 3: but I don't know, surely sure, maybe they're going away,
- 18:47Speaker 3: Maybe maybe they work on the weekend. Maybe it was
- 18:49Speaker 3: the day of the birthday. Some people are very strict
- 18:51Speaker 3: and wanting to celebrate on the day. Maybe, I don't know,
- 18:53Speaker 3: can we find out call April call it it wasn't April.
- 18:56Speaker 3: I don't know. I just wanted to call April.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I caught Oscar trying to impress the local mums. I
- 19:05Speaker 1: saw you did see that. He's got a good one
- 19:07Speaker 1: handed push up on him.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Who's taught him that?
- 19:09Speaker 4: Not me?
- 19:10Speaker 1: Because well I can't do it. Yeah, we tried to
- 19:12Speaker 1: get you to do one handed. You just he would
- 19:15Speaker 1: be like a potatoes. Yes, thank you for pointing that out.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I appreciate it, working on it. But he he One
- 19:22Speaker 1: day I was like, you gotta warm up for this
- 19:23Speaker 1: whatever we were doing, like it's like a joke, and
- 19:25Speaker 1: he just got started doing push ups.
- 19:27Speaker 3: I was like, he's like the karate kid.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like a monkey. This kid like he's like
- 19:33Speaker 1: like if he get if he grabs hold of you,
- 19:35Speaker 1: he's not letting go. And then he's so strong for
- 19:37Speaker 1: how small he can kids do?
- 19:39Speaker 3: Is that is that normally get him checked out?
- 19:43Speaker 1: You think he's an aspert. I don't know.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Doctors are like, I think something's wrong with the kid.
- 19:49Speaker 3: One how to push up?
- 19:50Speaker 1: Yeah, dyslexic, but he's definitely going to be dyslexic. But yeah,
- 19:55Speaker 1: I was like, good on your kid, and all the
- 19:57Speaker 1: girls were very impressed.
- 19:59Speaker 3: How did can I just ask and if anyone wants
- 20:01Speaker 3: to see the video it is on two doting dads
- 20:03Speaker 3: and jam pikelets as well. How did that situation get
- 20:08Speaker 3: to the point where he was then in front of
- 20:10Speaker 3: the women doing the one handed push ups.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I just think they were just all the kids were
- 20:15Speaker 1: showing off andars like you think that's impressive, step aside,
- 20:20Speaker 1: step aside, kids that a real man through ball And
- 20:25Speaker 1: the reaction from the mums impressed. Some of them are pregnant.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Did he did he react?
- 20:33Speaker 3: Well? Because I'd love my niece Millie. She played netball
- 20:37Speaker 3: on the weekend, got her first goal. People cheered because
- 20:41Speaker 3: she's got a very first goal ever in netball. Congratulations,
- 20:43Speaker 3: she ran off right off the court.
- 20:45Speaker 1: She was like be barrassed. Yeah, yeah, it was Oscar
- 20:49Speaker 1: like did he was he.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Thriving in that environment?
- 20:51Speaker 1: Ah? He got a bit shy once, like he realized
- 20:53Speaker 1: that everyone was like, look, did him go? He was
- 20:56Speaker 1: kind of like, I'm like, that's a fair response. Man
- 21:00Speaker 1: if I'm doing push ups and people are like, look
- 21:02Speaker 1: at this, go and go, I can't do it and
- 21:04Speaker 1: run so but he was, yeah, it's feel like he's
- 21:08Speaker 1: a little party trick. I guess there's certain moments, you know.
- 21:11Speaker 3: I think like if your child graduates university, high school,
- 21:15Speaker 3: getting married.
- 21:16Speaker 1: One had to push up, one had to push up up.
- 21:18Speaker 1: There it's on the list. I would say, it's top two.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Like you do have a level of arrogance.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I staunched in his Yeah.
- 21:26Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, Jesu, it's like your kids want
- 21:28Speaker 3: a gold medal or something.
- 21:30Speaker 1: He might do one day. You don't know. We could
- 21:32Speaker 1: look back and go, hang on a minute, remember that
- 21:35Speaker 1: time you did it one and.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Make sure he doesn't peak too early.
- 21:37Speaker 1: He will he's impatient, Matthew. It is time. It is
- 21:42Speaker 1: time to let something off our listener's chest. And that
- 21:46Speaker 1: is perant. You don't mostly regression.
- 21:55Speaker 2: You don't.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Just tell me what a parent do you want my
- 22:06Speaker 1: grandpa at the shirt. You don't want.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Advice from strangers, Go and tell me what is your parent?
- 22:18Speaker 1: Thank you, Ash. I have a few here.
- 22:19Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with now. This is a longer one.
- 22:22Speaker 3: This is maybe the longest parent.
- 22:24Speaker 1: That we've ever had. Wow from Okay, beautiful Sarah Sarah
- 22:28Speaker 1: Sarah ant Sarah, No, she.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Did post this in the Facebook group, and look, I
- 22:37Speaker 3: will I will have to just preface this with an
- 22:41Speaker 3: apology that you and I are both guilty of. Oka. Yeah,
- 22:48Speaker 3: let me start with the rent. Sarah says, I have
- 22:51Speaker 3: one child, one, one beautiful ten year old daughter, and
- 22:55Speaker 3: for the past ten years, all people have asked me
- 22:58Speaker 3: is if I'm having another, she will be spoilt. If
- 23:02Speaker 3: she's an only child, she will be lonely, she will
- 23:05Speaker 3: grow up weird looking at you, Maddie Nash. Again, apologies
- 23:12Speaker 3: there it is. I just smile and laugh and say
- 23:14Speaker 3: I'm one and done and happy, which I am. I
- 23:17Speaker 3: know people mean well, but maybe there is an underlying
- 23:19Speaker 3: issue as to why people only have one. Maybe we
- 23:23Speaker 3: had a miscarriage, Maybe we wanted a second one and
- 23:26Speaker 3: it just wasn't on the cards of medically possible high risk.
- 23:30Speaker 3: You know what, Sarah, You are absolutely one hundred percent correct.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel bad now because, yeah, look, we sort
- 23:38Speaker 1: of rattle off sometimes, we joke.
- 23:41Speaker 3: We joke, we joke, and we will be more conscious.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like that was all directed at us.
- 23:49Speaker 3: I mean, like pretty much it does say our name
- 23:52Speaker 3: specifically here in the rant.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Yeah that wasn't the just permitting factor, Yeah, definitely. But
- 23:59Speaker 1: I seem to think that maybe it has something to
- 24:01Speaker 1: do with us.
- 24:01Speaker 3: And you know what, I think it's great that we're
- 24:03Speaker 3: here as a community on two doting dads. We're allowed
- 24:08Speaker 3: to listen to our listeners. They can vent, we can change,
- 24:12Speaker 3: we can apologize, we're growing, we're learning change. This is
- 24:16Speaker 3: this is all great, This is great, this is a
- 24:17Speaker 3: good stuff. It's a good thing. Has Sarah stopped listening?
- 24:20Speaker 3: Probably she's probably listening, but if she's here right now, Sarah,
- 24:24Speaker 3: we apologize and we thank you for your parent and
- 24:26Speaker 3: we're happy that we're happy that you just have one child.
- 24:29Speaker 1: We're happy, more than happy. Wait no, okay, we have
- 24:35Speaker 1: another one Matthew from Ebony. Okay, this is also a
- 24:38Speaker 1: lengthy one. Gee, there really really want to get this
- 24:41Speaker 1: stuff off of their chance. My husband has been working
- 24:44Speaker 1: away a lot and I was just so done with
- 24:47Speaker 1: parenting and hearing the word mum. They're totally fair, like
- 24:51Speaker 1: I heard you the last five and fifty two times,
- 24:54Speaker 1: So both of you please shut the fuck up. Already.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I fully understand any parent gets that. Look, guys, I
- 25:02Speaker 1: really don't want to hear the word mum anymore for
- 25:05Speaker 1: a bit. Okay, fair call, fair call, Florence. My three
- 25:09Speaker 1: year old looks me dead in the eyes. But Ebony,
- 25:13Speaker 1: you are the mum. Gotcha got she got your technicality,
- 25:17Speaker 1: that's for sure. I had no response and took everything
- 25:21Speaker 1: in meat not to laugh because if you laugh, they're
- 25:23Speaker 1: going to do it again. Right, Yeah, we know that.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Sometimes I swear she's thirteen in a three year old's body.
- 25:29Speaker 1: Look I feel you and I did send you Matthew
- 25:32Speaker 1: that video of that woman who was taking count of
- 25:35Speaker 1: how many times her kid would say mum between the
- 25:39Speaker 1: hours of like what did she get up? It was
- 25:41Speaker 1: like two hundred and twenty seven times over the course.
- 25:44Speaker 3: Of that's beautiful your kids want you, but then nice
- 25:47Speaker 3: to be needed.
- 25:48Speaker 1: But then she times by the days of the year,
- 25:50Speaker 1: and it was like diabolical, as shut up.
- 25:56Speaker 3: This one here, ash is anonymous, and it's directed at
- 25:59Speaker 3: water bottle at nighttime. A beautiful touch, making sure the
- 26:04Speaker 3: children are hydrated late at night.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Why did this just remind me of that hack the
- 26:08Speaker 1: person had of like the guinea big water bottle.
- 26:10Speaker 3: H yeah, someone had literally got like when did you
- 26:14Speaker 3: put in a guinea pig cage and tied it to
- 26:15Speaker 3: the side of the bed. Yeah, it's great, but issue
- 26:19Speaker 3: with water bottles at nighttime. They make my child piss
- 26:21Speaker 3: the bed all the time.
- 26:23Speaker 1: Oh yes, it's damn you water bottles. Yeah, and we
- 26:28Speaker 1: keep having the argument where I think Oscar's doing it
- 26:30Speaker 1: now so we can get up to we April was
- 26:33Speaker 1: a few times I'd be like, stop drinking so much water, right,
- 26:36Speaker 1: like when you're in bed, Like he's like.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Yeah, is this there? Has it always been the case.
- 26:40Speaker 3: I don't remember growing up with the water bottle next
- 26:42Speaker 3: to my bed.
- 26:43Speaker 1: No, I didn't do it. It's a different generation, but
- 26:45Speaker 1: we care about the kids now. It's very different. Okay,
- 26:48Speaker 1: this one's from me because I'm a bit over it.
- 26:51Speaker 1: It's I like to get up and out of the
- 26:53Speaker 1: house immediately. I'm like, I'm so impatient. I'm like, we're
- 26:57Speaker 1: going somewhere, let's fucking do it. And I've already got
- 26:59Speaker 1: a for April to get ready and that takes forever.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Then I've got to get kids ready and that takes forever.
- 27:03Speaker 1: And then I were like, go and Wii, and they're
- 27:07Speaker 1: both like, I don't need to. I don't care. I
- 27:08Speaker 1: will squeeze it out of you. Couldn't give a ship
- 27:11Speaker 1: because then as soon as we leave the fucking house,
- 27:13Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's I need to WI. It's
- 27:17Speaker 1: a surprise. We it's not. No, that's what you say

- 27:34Speaker 1: I'm over it. I'm like, I'm not having this argument
- 27:37Speaker 1: with you. Every time April staunch on it.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Whenever I'm like, go on to sit on the toilet.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Most of the time they end up doing like a
- 27:44Speaker 3: massive ship.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Say what was in there? Why are you fighting that?
- 27:51Speaker 1: Don't you feel better now? Amazing? The other day I

- 29:39Speaker 3: Sure, I don't say that.
- 29:41Speaker 1: I don't know. You keep that's one you keep into
- 29:43Speaker 1: because you don't know people's circumstances. They might have to work.
- 29:46Speaker 3: We want And again I would never say this, but
- 29:49Speaker 3: we went and checked out a daycare because with a
- 29:51Speaker 3: baby coming in September. I don't know if anyone knows that.

- 30:50Speaker 1: said that to someone, you've thought about saying that to someone,
- 30:53Speaker 1: have a good look in the mirror. I would say, okay,
- 30:57Speaker 1: next time. All this is another one. I don't believe
- 31:00Speaker 1: in bottle feeding.
- 31:02Speaker 3: I don't care what you believe in.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Shut your fucking mouth too. They're diabolical. I would say
- 31:09Speaker 1: they're unforgivable.

- 31:40Speaker 1: a fight ready to happen. I'm punching you out. I
- 31:43Speaker 1: am straight up punching you out.

- 31:49Speaker 1: a parent, Please write in.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Let us we're educating the people of the world.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Yeah, there'd be people out there going away saying I
- 31:57Speaker 1: can't say that. No, you can't say that.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Hey, as you asked a question on the Facebook group
- 32:03Speaker 3: which got an astounding response, and I couldn't tell if
- 32:07Speaker 3: it was a serious one or not. Was it genuine?
- 32:11Speaker 3: Yeah it was? It was okay for anyone who didn't
- 32:14Speaker 3: see the question on the Facebook group. First of all,
- 32:16Speaker 3: joined the Facebook group three thousand members.
- 32:18Speaker 1: What's up? Question off the back of it really is
- 32:20Speaker 1: how many days can I repack a sandwich for kids lunch?
- 32:25Speaker 3: Yeah? Because how many days? Did you?
- 32:27Speaker 1: It was a Wednesday? Yeah, he took it the same
- 32:29Speaker 1: sandwich three days.
- 32:31Speaker 3: What can I just tell me?
- 32:32Speaker 1: Just veggimie.
- 32:34Speaker 3: It was hand, wasn't it?
- 32:35Speaker 1: No, it was chicken, it was it was vegimie. It's
- 32:40Speaker 1: the same sandwich every time. So I thought, Eh, he's
- 32:43Speaker 1: getting it again because I'm sick of making it. And
- 32:46Speaker 1: then I put it out to see. I just wanted
- 32:49Speaker 1: to not feel judged. I came thick and fast.
- 32:54Speaker 3: I think I think, I mean, I think I recall
- 33:00Speaker 3: a second day taking it to school and we're talking
- 33:04Speaker 3: about like a veggiemine or a jam here. But then
- 33:07Speaker 3: a third a third visit to school. Come on, man, it's.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Done a lot of cakes. That sandwich. It's clocking him up.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Just a nice lunch, but it's not just in a
- 33:17Speaker 1: plastic bag in his bag school bag. Make him a freshy.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Come on, man, come on.
- 33:23Speaker 1: I just got the shits about it. I really got
- 33:25Speaker 1: the shits about it. And then I said on that
- 33:27Speaker 1: I said, gee, I feel really judged, and someone just
- 33:30Speaker 1: wanted to say that's the correct feeling. Look, I can
- 33:33Speaker 1: handle it, god, I think.
- 33:36Speaker 3: But I knew how to go with me about giving
- 33:39Speaker 3: peanut butter and a sandwich, and you're like, ho, everyone,
- 33:42Speaker 3: I've I've got the sandwich that's now mommified because it's
- 33:45Speaker 3: three years old.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Can I still give it to oscoo for breakfast the
- 33:47Speaker 1: next day? Yes? The answer is it was like, there's
- 33:52Speaker 1: no such thing as a dumb question. I think there
- 33:55Speaker 1: were some good responses, like April took a hack off
- 33:58Speaker 1: the back of it, which was like I won't let
- 34:00Speaker 1: them eat anything when they get home until they finish
- 34:02Speaker 1: their lunch box, like when they get home. Very good
- 34:04Speaker 1: which is okay, that's fine, but like, ah, hey, we
