• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I had a conundrum, I had a thought, and then
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you put my mind at ease and I forgot about
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it until I got back on the plane this year.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: What did I do? Well? Why don't you start the episode?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, welcome back to Two Dads. I am Maddie Jays
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and this is a podcast all about parenting.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It is the good, it is the bad and the relatable.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And if you come for advice.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Sorry, oops, wrong podcast, not us, see ya, No, actually
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: stay advice If you come for advice, not us. Anyway,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: what was the advice advice.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We do have? Yeah? Last year we went to Vegas
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: together and I quite I don't like flying because I'm
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable in a particular way, so.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Back or just anxiety? What's thorting my farts in wait?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: If you're on a plane far away?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you? I took that advice this time, traveled.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: So comfortably where they smelly?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was like, I think one of them
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: woke me up. I got on the plane next to
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: these two lovely Americans, and I was like get ready,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and I just let I was honestly like forty and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: our flight A breeze, A breeze out of my buttole.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Apparently, apparently, I don't know if there's any science behind this,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: but you know when you have a bottle of water
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and you put the lid on when you're on the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: tarmac and you're in the air, Yeah, and the bottles
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: are like compressed.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to do that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Apparently that's what because I wee a lot when I'm
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: in the air.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: On a plane. Opposite, I don't barely we like, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: did one Wii on a fourteen hour flight.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And you're not doing my scientific fact here any favors. Well,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it could be different from you do you fart more
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: on a plane? Oh yeah, there you go.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I think the human body knows when when you're not
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: places you're not meant to farts. It's the cabin pressure.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: But like if I'm just a home and I'm in
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: bed and I'm like, okay, I got a Wii, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, it's probably you know, I could do
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a fart here and keep aeople happy. I don't need
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a fart. But then I get back into bed. It's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: like I got a fart.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: That is the number one complaint that I get from Laura.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I hop in a bed and she goes, why do
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you have to fight when you get into bed?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I go, I can't help it. This is where I
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: needed to fart. I can't.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I can't help you know, when I need to fight,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I need to fart. If that happens and I'm just
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: in bed and I pulled the blankets up, I apologize.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It was like you were just in the bathroom anyway.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I just just very Yeah. I wanted to just thank
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you for that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You're well.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You made the trip much more enjoyable. I was at
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: one point I was like laying down because I had
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: two best seats and there was people around me, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I just went.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It is awkward when it really does smell.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The best time to do it is during meal time
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: because the meal is usually quite pungent. Yez, thank you.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I have a bad poker face, and it is hard
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: when you have to try and hide the ar when
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: you farted and people are like, you can see someone
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: else going is that smells a bit, and you have
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to try and pretend like you know, yeah, you're confused
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: as well going is that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I think everyone's like probably sitting there being like, don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: say anything anything. It is such a relief. It is
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: such a relief.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, did you notice anything at the front of my
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: house yesterday? By the way, when you were you're visiting,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: did you notice anything?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I know you got a.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Haircut, small, small haircut. I did something stupid. You didn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: cut the dick plan off?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: No dick plans still there. I actually have that video
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: still it's grown. Yeah, I have a grower.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I have a yucker and it's grown a root that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: comes out the size of a penis.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It looks like an uncircumcised peanist. Like it is uncanny.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Remind me after this episode, I did a video where
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I'm edging. I think Laura goes to edge the gardens
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, sure, very good, and then I'm there
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: jerking off.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: The oh that's good. Why have you not posted that?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I forgot. I forgot to say remind me.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the same over in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Northern Beaches for anyone outside of New South Wales, we
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: or in Bondo, we get too allocated cancel cleanup pickups
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: per calendar year.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You've got to book them in. Though you got to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: book them in, you get too free. I love that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: when there's one person actually books one in and then
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: everyone in the same streets just like must be a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: counsel cleaner and throw stuff out the front of their
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: house and it gets picked up. That's a loophole. That's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a council loophole.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It didn't happen, unfortunately. But you know, anyone who's never
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: had a council cleanup pick up collection, whether the fuck
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it's called, the.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Way it works, it works.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's very complicated.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: How have they not had one of People just don't
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: have junks like us. I feel like I was.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I was very late to the council cleanup bandwagon.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I love walking past the pile of council cleanup and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: pretending not to look, and then fighting the urge.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Looks it was raining when I put out the stuff,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: so people didn't. I love watching people come and.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Scale that, yeah we should do that, and just be like, get.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But you got to put it out the night before
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: gets picked up in the morning. I forgot that it
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: was out there, so when I got the kids in
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the car for daycare and school drop off, they were like,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: what's this?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And I was like, fuck, all this stuffs in the front.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: All this stuff. I had this blackboard with magnets that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: that was out there. Their little camer little sofas that
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: have a fold out.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They get moldy as fuck. Those things so moldy they
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: were out there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Lola's potty was out there as well, and she was
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: like what do you throw this out for? There were
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a bunch of hoarders, my kids. I was like, it
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: was a nightmare.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Ash.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I had to had to peel them off. You know
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: we talk about people scavenging. Yeah, it was like my kids. Yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: they were like going through and throwing cushions everywhere, being
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: like why are you throwing this bachelor out for?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: We can keep that?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And I was like, far out.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They don't understand the concept of like throwing things out
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: unless it's like, you know, food scraps or whatever. Because
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I remember when we did we sort of piled a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: bunch of old toys up not to throw them out.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to give them to Goodwill because that was
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: still fine, and we stupidly put them in a container
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and then one day we came home and the clear
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: container was like sitting there ready to be taken and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Oscar was like, what's that. He's like, that's my my
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Americ control cars in there, like you hadn't used in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: like two years. And it was like I turned my
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: back one second and he's in there and he's got
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it all out, and it's like for Fox, it's a nightmare.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Council cleanup but picked up, picked up in the afternoon. Beautiful, Yeah, lovely.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I feel I feel like the weight has been just
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: lifted off my shoulders. I had a rug that bust
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to shot on like the worst diarrhea Nane. I gave
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: him some.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Brown rice no good for dogs.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So that rug that used to be there under the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: coffee table that's been down the side of the house
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: just covered in dog shit for like four months.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Imatching the stench on that thing.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Carrying that down the side of the house, moldy from
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the rain, remnants of dog diarrhea. Oh yeah, I'm just
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I'm a new man since having that council cleanup. It's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: better than therapy, is April loves and my going in
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: treat yourself.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: My father in law does this thing where he drives
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: around the streets looking for piles to throw stuff out
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: him so that stuff people have already ordered one and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he's got ship in the back of his car.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He's like, that's good behavior.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Comes back at night.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: But I couldn't do that the amount of anxiety I
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: have and I put in a garbage bin into someone
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: else's like that that feels like you're breaking the law,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: feels like but he's drubbing around. Yeah, the car full
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of that's bold.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: That's a friend of mine owns a company called my Bins,

  Speaker 1: which is like they move the bin from this sponsor.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Shout out to my Bins. They're good guys. They move

• 8:45
  Speaker 1: That's that's part of their service, the service, the offering,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. And he was like, dude,

  Speaker 1: another bin? Oh yeah, yeah. They charge you per bin obviously.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And if you get a bigger bin, get a bigger bin,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that's more money. Yeah, because people have a little miniature bin.

• 12:29
  Speaker 1: like a decent bus trip to a bigger shopping center,
• 12:32

  Speaker 1: a small one in Worrior, like worry would square? Where
• 12:36

  Speaker 2: I think that's a small shop, small shops, great shops,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: great shops.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Perfect for me, but not big enough for April, not
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: big enough for family day. But she was like, it's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: an adventure. And it's like Macy had never been on

  Speaker 1: I was like, well, let's go down. We drove down
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to the bus stop. We went sat waiting for the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: bus to come and it's a big, two story bus
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and the kids are super excited to get on. Oscar's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: already been on before, sitting up the top. We didn't
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: get to sit at the front at the top, but
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: may seems taken. Yeah, there's a few spots like that's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: annoying way through, which is still good, but it's Macey
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was petrified like she was on a roller coaster. She
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: was like grabbing hold of April, like away from the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: window and she was trying to get she was trying
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: to get out. The stairs are really steep. The bus
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: took off and she was like.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And then they must be so used to being like
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: locked down in a baby seat.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now all of a sudden they're on the road unhinged.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So she was petrified all the way there, and Oscar
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the whole time was like I'm board, on board, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: then we get off the bus and I was like,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that was amazing, and I was like, I don't know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think they just say that to fill the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: gap when there's nothing to say. They're just like, I'm bored.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And was like me, he has to fill the air
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: with words at all times, Like he's just like continuous.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I wonder where he gets from. Anyway, we did the shopping. Yep,

• 14:35
  Speaker 1: she tried on some and I just found seats to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: sit in. That's pretty much all. She wasn't happy with
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the tights. Wasn't happy with it. Okay, okay, a bit painful,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: but look, honestly, I don't really have a leg to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: stand on. I've sort of just got to go along
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and carry everything for the trip.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Does April listened to these episodes, Yeah, I'd love to
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: know what was wrong with the tights.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Camel tooe. That's not even a joke, very particular my wife. Sorry, everybody,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: let's get back on track. We're getting back on the bus.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Macey's brave again. She wants to walk on her own
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: onto the bars, get up.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Up the stairs, up the stairs.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: She got on, She's quickly scared again and she's like, oh,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know, because it's quite rocky. But then shable. She
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: was distracted by the fact that upstairs there's no bus driver,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: because the bus driver's downstairs, but she didn't because she's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: so small, she didn't see the bus driver on the
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: way in. So now she's obsessed thinking that the bus
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: drives herself, and it started to freak her out, like
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: where's the driver? She kept pointing, like, where's the driver?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Did you explain to her or you like, I don't
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know where it is. I was like, it's on the roof.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: She was just like, oh, so we stopped. We'll let
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the kids press the button. They love pressing buttons. They're like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: press the button for every stop. And we stopped it
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Narrabeene to get off, and Macey.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: They were they pressing for not their stop, like because.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Thankfully it's sort of bus that stops at that main
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: only the main stops anyway.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Because the best way to piss off a bus driver
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: is to press the stop button and no one gets off.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway. We get to Narrabeene and it's Macy's brave again
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and wants to walk off the bus and they're quite
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: steep steps.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Can I just say it's I get I get stressed
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: out when the bus stops. You don't have a lot
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: of time to get off the bus.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: This is what happened. Macy wanted to get off on herself.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Took forever, grab her the stop. Oh god, she glatched
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: onto the railing, missed the stop. I'm en route to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Mona Vail. Did anyone get off the bus. It was April, No,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: no one, We're all stuck behind Macy.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Would you yell out say.

  Speaker 1: Hey it was too late, we will move. We're on
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the go. And we had to go to the next
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: bus stop. Where did you guys end up the next

• 17:02
  Speaker 1: walk across the busy main road back to the other side.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Wait another ten minutes for a bus to come back
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to take us back the other way.

  Speaker 2: the backs I've got. I've got the one that I've
• 19:53

• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But the kids love it. Kids absolutely enjoy it,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and it's a little bit hairy at some points on

• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Or is Laura in the wrong At the moment, I'm

  Speaker 2: doing all of the daycare drop offs with Lola on
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the bike from now from this point on bikes other
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: than rain weather permitting Lola.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned this.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: She's at a new daycare, really struggling with the drop offs,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: really struggling. We're now six seven, eight weeks in tears
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: most mornings. It's hard. And then this morning, Lola's like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to bring this toy. And she had this
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: big bunny that's giant. It's like, you know, big guy.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You push a button on its belly and it sings
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: a song and it dances.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Right, you're not allowed that to take care. You're not
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: allowed to take I want I get you kids kid
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know kids, right, yeah, kids, kids, two kids. I'm
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: just so.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Lola's like, I'm bringing this thing and I'm like, you're
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: not bringing that thing, and she's like, but I'm allowed to.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And I said, well, who said you're allowed to? You
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: gues Mom told me? And I was like, there's no
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: way that mom has said yes to this, and so
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm going to fucking get you here, Lola.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I was like, did.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Mom really say that? Let's give her a call. So
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I call Laura on speaker next to Lola who's holding
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the bunny, and I was like, fucking you're going to
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: learn you're going to get called out here. Lola, lie
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to me and say, tell me that your mother has
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: allowed this.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Please try they try and play you against each other.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: She was trying to play me, and I was like, no,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: on my watch, pow. I love where this is going
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: so cool Laura, And I said, did you say to Lola,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: look at Laula. Did you say to Lola you did
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that she could bring the bunny rabbit, the one that
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: it sings and it dances. And then Laura goes, yeah, okay, okay, they're.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: In cahoots those two. You're never gonna Lola in particular,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: You're never gonna they've already had this chat. Oh yeah
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know where I was.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: They've they've they've gone. We'll loop him in when the
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: time comes, because if we loop him in now, it'll
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: be a problem from now until we leave. But if
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: I loop him in when we leave, it's only a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: problem for that long.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: So I said to Laura, what do you mean you
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: said yes to the toy? And she goes, well, we
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: had a conversation that if there was anything that would
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: help Lola with a drop off process, make it a
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: bit easier for her we would allow it. And I say, yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: but you know the rules at daycare, no toys that
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: make any noise.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: You're allowed like a.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Little soft toy that they can have as a comforter.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And she goes, I didn't know that. I may have
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: said something, may have said something which was fighting words.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to just quickly say it's it's on for Laura.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: That's a great I think she's what she's doing there
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: is she's trying to make your life easier for drop off.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to just quickly jump on her side
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and say because you did mention anything that makes it
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: easier for her.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'm then going to feel the wrath from daycare when
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I come in there.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Stand up to the man.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I can't do rules as rules. You know that break
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a few rules, can't. I'm the new guy. I'm playing
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: by the rules.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: No be a rogue, go rogue.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Why I said to Laura when she was like, well,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that, And I said, yeah you would
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: if you went to any of the orientation days.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Where did you sleep last night? Well that was this morning?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Where you sleeping at night? How did that go down? Yeah? Really?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good, I thought I thought that might be the case.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: She would have taken that on the chin. Laura, of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: all people, would have really taken that on the chin.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: And so then so then I've got a situation where
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: I've now got a very angry wife. I've also got
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Lola who's in tears. And I'm not stepping down for
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: no one.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say that you so you needed to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: put your pride aside at that moment. So I hung up,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and then, oh, oh my god, help yourself. I'm on
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Laura's side. I think Laura, my arm's trying to make
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it easier for Lola and you and you fighting it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is causing more of a problem.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But surely every parent, everyone who's had any kind of
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: experience with daycare knows that you're not allowed a toy
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: other than like a little soft toy.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Jump on board and sneak it in.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: But then, but then I'm setting Lola up to fail.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: She's going to get it taken away from her.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: She's going to hate daycare even more.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: You're making about a point, but I'm more what's easier
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: for me, you know what I mean? Like, my kids
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. I think all kids do the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: same thing. Where they go. I want to take this
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: because they want to show their friends. I now just say,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: if we're in the car, I say take it, but
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you're to leave it in the car. You tried that one? No, No,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it works if they strap it into their own seat.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It's fun little game. Move on. But I'm with Laura
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to say, whatever is it? Because she's struggling. She wasn't struggling.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I'm on a different side. But because she's struggling, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: we had this conversation when you're in the jungle that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Lola was really upset. And now we're doubt how many
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: more weeks down the track and it's still happening. It's
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: break some rules for your kid.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Consider in silence, did Laura message you before we recorded? No? Why?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know. It just seems like you're
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: very much on her team. I would it would I
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: would suffer more if I was to jump onto your team.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: But I think you've got to bend some rules every
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: now and then. I get that they might take it
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: off her, but I don't think they're going to hastily
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: take it off her, are they? And if they did,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: then you know this is the wrong day. The wrong
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: daycare game.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I'll digest this conversation.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I know you're not happy with me. I can see
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it that or you're hungry. I can't work out which
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: one of it is. But I can't sit here and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: take your side all the time. Let's move this along. Okay,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: So where do we end up? You haven't spoken to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: what synth of you? Now? I got to call it
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: after this and what what's going to happen? What's gonna
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: happen on the phone? Are you're going to I know
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: you you're not apologize. I'm going to back down. I
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: don't apologize. You are not. Have I gotten through? I
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. I've got a big quick question for you.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Do your kids have any I've got a real big
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: question for you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You're ready for this, big boy? Go on? What do
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you got? It's better be good. I wanted to ask
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: if your kids have any allergies? Because you don't what
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: going to school now? And there's like they're not allergy
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: that everyone fucking talks about.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: What have you got for me?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I only have one allergy and it's two penicillin, a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: specific type of penicillin. But why I asked you? Because
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: obviously sometimes it gets passed down to kids, and kids
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: have Macy's allergic to something which is devastating. Chocolate band
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: aids what she's allergic to, the other day, that's not devastating.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: That's a great result.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: No, it's not, because now anytime she hurts herself and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: she wants a band aid, I can't give a one
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: because she breaks out in a rash. You ever a kiss,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: bro No, And she doesn't understand why Oscar gets band
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: aids and she doesn't get banned, So now she feels
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: like she's missing out, so then she's even more upset.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I do band aids.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say that's one of the biggest expenses
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: in this household is buying band aids.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: But we've got a band we churned through.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: The band aids due but I still have.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: To buy them. But I have to buy them and
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: then not give them to her. It's even worse.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Stop the band aids. No band aids in the house anymore.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Oscar's bleeding out. I'm sorry to blame.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Your sister wears them like an accessory. I brush her hair,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: get her teeth done, and then she's like, where's band
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: aid I'm like, fuck, I know, I just put one
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: on her. We like we're going through a pack a week.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: At the moment, Macy has got like four blisters from
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: these sandals that she wore.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Can't put a band aid on it. Well, hang on
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: a secon. If you're gone to the big shops, get.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Her a new pair of shoes. Were We had to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: because that's how we found out that she just all
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: of a sudden one day grown out of these shoes.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: They were too She one day fine, next day Crocs No,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: bro get her and cross no, because she wears crocs
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and she's a classic foot track. She trips over everywhere.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: She's like a bumbling mess. You put crocs on my
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: daughter and you literally at my back of you saw
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: from picking her up off the ground.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: When's her birthday?
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Just put this way I can startle Macy and she
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: falls over. Think about that and then add crocs into that.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Put crocs in there.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: And she's got something. Hey, you gave me advice and
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I took it. I'm giving you advice. All I'm saying,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: hear me out, don't interrupt me, don't interrupt me. Don't
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: put your finger down. Okay, I'm saying two things. Okay,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: band aids. Oscar is now allergic as well. They're out
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: of the house. Okay, you're gonna lie to him.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: It's terrible, okay.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: And then secondly, crocs for Macy.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me just flip that on here for a second, please.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Oscar falls over, bleeding everywhere, got no band aids? One two?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I put crocs on Macy. She falls over, she bleeds everywhere.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Then pick up of band aids on her anyway. Well,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to otherwise it cuts, will stop blistering.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: So she's take it. We're going around in circles.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: If Oscar is bleeding out, take him to hospital.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Moving on. I can't afford it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: It's moving on, moving along here quickly.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: She's lists of bandaids. Be it heasy. If I think
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and she breaks out in a rash, it's a nightmare.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: And moving right along ash, we're going into parenting lies.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Dare you move me along? Tell me loud, tell me
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: what have you got for me? Big?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Go my mom.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know where she is by the way, lost
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: her in the house again. She was she can't get
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: that fast.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: She was here before I was had a recording because
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I was going to get her to tell her lie.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: But then she fucking disappeared. I don't know where she
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: is La Jinx. Someone's think we should fuck Sorry. So
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: she told me this lie from when we were younger. Okay,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: it was a very clever line, and I said, firstly,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I was offended. I was upset, and then I said, actually, no,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: that's I should commend you for this great lie.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: So it took you how long to figure this out? Well?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I only realized when she told me went like today
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: it was a few days ago, because she she heard
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: we're talking about parenting lies and she was like, I
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: got a life for here, your little piece of ship.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I said, what do you mean? When we were younger,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: we had a PlayStation one Vintage respect.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: We loved it. What was it?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Grand Tarismo? Ah?
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Why do I have an direction for those of you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: who don't know. It's a car racing game. We more
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: than just that Domades. Sorry, you're right, you're right.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: And what she used to do because we were kind
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: of obsessed with the PlayStation when we first got it,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: this is genius. She told us that it was a rental.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: She said that the PlayStation it is not It is
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: not our PlayStation. She's rented it from Video Easy.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Ah, that is good. That is top shelf parenting from
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Elie and see.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: We used to get the PlayStation in school holidays only
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: sometimes sometimes Mum would be like on the weekend she'd
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: be like, I'm going down the shop. It's going to
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to rent out of PlayStations.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: In the back of the car.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: So we would get it, and then on the Sunday
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: on the end of the holiday, she'd be like, I've
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: got to return the PlayStation back to the shop because
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: on the rental and we were like, oh, I have
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: one more week, and she'd be like, no, I can't,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: that's got to go back. It's booked out.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I underestimated your mother. That is good stuff, very good.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And so I only now realized that we in fact
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: owned outright that place, very.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Owned PlayStation and you thought it was So I can
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: picture you at school being like, oh, I'm wait for
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: school holidays, Mum's going to rent the PlayStation and all
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: your friends that own the PlayStation, like I didn't want
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: to say it. I have one here from Molina which Melina,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Congratulations you're a winner of a stuffed Maddie j or Ashish.

• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Melina says. I tell my kids that the ice cream
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: truck is the ambulance, so they freak out every time.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I thought she was going to say that, like with
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: the sound on, there are our ice cream. That was
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a classic.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That's where I thought it was going, the old classic
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: when the sirens are on for the ice cream truck.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: No, no ice cream left. Just when you think you're
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: going down a path and she throws a right turn in.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I feel sorry for? Quite often
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the people who are the victims here, the innocent victims
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: of these lies, the driver, emergency services.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I think about the ice cream truck. Drive
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: miss I've got a bank with all the parenting lines.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: No, it's like police and ambulance and I guess fire men.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: They're the ones you never get a bad wrap in
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: these painting lines.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like we're not allowed to give a bad
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: rap because they're here to protect and serve Matthew. Same
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: with the ice cream driver. He's here to maybe not protect,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: try and make a living, but to serve and make
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a living. Hey, we got we've got a question here.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: We are running out of time, Ash.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, great, but I'm going to squeeze in it one
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: quick question, if I may, I put it out there.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I've asked the Facebook group. Haven't had any answers back,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Jesse yet. We will continue on if people come back
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: with answers, we'll talk about it next week. But I
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: want to know from you. Have you or any parents
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: you know, regretted the name of their child.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my parents. Ash is an Aordy name. No, no, no, okay,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: let me let me take you down there on a
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: journey please. It was thankfully it was before I was born.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: But they had settled on the name. Okay, they said
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: it on the name, believe it or not, Matthew. For me,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: my name was set to be Matthew. That was they
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: had already told family friends, boy, we're gonna name me Matthew.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: And one one day they were down the beach and
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: there was heaps of kids, heaps of families and mum
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: reckons that she spotted like four or five different parents
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: calling out to their child Matthew, and she decided. She
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: regretted the telling everyone that that was going to be
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: my name, that she had decided she had changed it
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to now Ashton. Dang, that's a true story. Call her
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: up right now. I believe it, Jane. I have time
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: for that next week. But yeah, so they regretted. There's
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with your name. First of all, thank you.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Just everyone has it. And but my middle name is
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: now Matthew what Ashton William Matthew Wicks.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't know you had had two middle names.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Do you know anything about me? I'most double agent. I

  Speaker 1: feel like I'm sitting across next to a stranger now
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: you know now, But yeah, it was going to be Yeah,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: but I don't know of anyone that's after the birth.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure it's happened. If you do have
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a story about it, if someone out there has a
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: story where it's like, I name my kid Bob, and
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: then I realized what a big mistake. Like, imagine accidentally
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: naming your kid after like a serial killer and you
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: didn't know, Like there's an episode of Seinfeld with a
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: kid name was Joel Rifkin and he was like one
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of the greatest murderers in serial murders in the city's history.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Have there been many Ivans? Oh, Ivan Cleary, it's him.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: I did some digging online ash and I've got it.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Got some information here which is interesting, Okay, very very random.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Here is a list of declined baby names from New
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Zealand twenty eighteen.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Why that year and in New Zealand?
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I do know it was published?
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: And did it just come up the first Google.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: And it just come up that's the first one. Okay, okay,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: laid on it must be good. I've also got like
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: a count number here. But how many times it was rejected? Duke,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: emperor but then empress spelt normally, then empress spelled E
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: M P R A H, Emperor and pro.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say, they changed the
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: E to A three.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Roman numerals, just like the dash dash rejected twice, like
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: just the dashed like the second.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: What are you confused with the tally or the name dash?
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I guess what was rejected six times?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: King?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: It's oh yeah, it's common wealth, Commonwealth.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I think I think you name me a kid. King.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: It's it's arrogant. That's the highest order, Messiah. Messiah rejected twice,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Prince rejected four times.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I used to work with a guy named Jesus. Jesus
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: but it's Jesus. Yeah.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I love it when there's there's been like multiple attempts.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: So there's there's Prince, the Prince writer, there's Prince with
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: his zed and then Prince p r y n Ce.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: They really wanted the name, trying not to get a
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: shadow band. But everyone wants the royal names. There's Royal, Royal, Royalty,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Chicken Royal, have you mean my chicken Royale Wicks? Why
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: would Saint Saint was rejected a lot.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: You can't call the kids saint because it'll it'll backflip
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: on you. There'll be a turn they.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Will be they will be his name here Justice j
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: A h Justice, Hey Justice. But if you know anyone, yes,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: who's had a name that has been regretted after it
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: was given, maybe does anyone had to change?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Surely it's out there.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: My mum knew someone called Richard orcock. Richard is now
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: they would abbreviate it to dick, cock or cock. They
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: didn't change it, they kept it. I used to work
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: with a guy, No, I didn't work with him. He
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: was one of the contractors on the team, and I.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Thought it did work with it. I guess you can continue, okay.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: And I thought it was a type that type, Paul,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a type. Come on, I thought
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: it was a typo. There he is because his name
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: was Michael Michaels, and I thought that's wrong. And then
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I saw a copy of his license and his name
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: was Michael Michaels.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with people?
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: Not?
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: What is wrong with Michael Michaels. Have some fucking creativity?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: How did that? How do you get there, Michael Michaels.

• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Michael Michaels. I mean credit to him. Yeah, if you've
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: got anything, please hit us up because I think it's

  Speaker 1: rejected names and the Commonwealth because Duke, my landlord's named kids.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Landlord's kids name is Duke. If that's legal or it's
