• 2:27
  Speaker 1: This sucks I much. We have a cold shower.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I need to speak to April. Actually speaking of bathrooms,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: go on. Do you know what's just happened to me?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I went to do a week before we started recording,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and I feel like in our new office, people like
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I have not really met anyone, you know, the neighbors,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the people who actually have We're actually we share a
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: wall with a psychologist.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: There's nothing but therapists are ount here, a lot of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: therapists on our level, and it seems about right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And we were building the studio, they were like, I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: in the middle of a session, could you guys not
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: That's the only interaction we've had. But I walked down
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the hallway and a guy was in front of me
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and he winked at me and he said, here going,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And I was like.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We gotta fuck we fuck now.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He's probably a therapist. He's like, do you know what
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he's like. He's probably thinking I'm gonna wink at this
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: guy and then let him think about that for the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: rest of the day because he's a therapist.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know it was it was something we
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: had a moment we're talking about it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: He just like he just winked effortlessly.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: And you don't know what it means. So that's what
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that's that's part of the trick, the therapy trick. It's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: working everything your whole life.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: He must have been eating asparagus, because that you're a
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: all fucking start. Really, it was strong. I was like
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: pun cane wink, terrible piss ash housekeeping. Yes, I've got some.

  Speaker 3: It's going to start with some sad news.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Oh great, Buster is not too good. At the moment,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I thought.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: He was as dead that you can rip that off a.

  Speaker 3: on emergency surgery.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: He had surgery.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Well, Sunday night just gone.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: He literally got up, had a little bit of kibble
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: in his bowl, came back down and he was just
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: like a bit uncomfortable, and then he started dry reaching
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: and I was thinking, fuck, is he eating something? You
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: know what's going on? Thanks to our last guest with
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the chop with the baby lead weening. Yeah, I'm giving
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Poppy lots of chops at the moment, which she's loving.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: But then Laura was like, where'd the last chop go?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, cooked bone.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, you were feeding hers like you were.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I gave her the chop, but then you then took
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the feeding and we were like, who's fucking a fault here?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: So we thought maybe, like hell yeah, but.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: He was dry reaching and just like.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Like it was stuck.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: You thought maybe it was, so then we're like it
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: must be the chop bone, but he was shaking as well,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: goes Nah, there's a place called sash.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It's a twenty four hour.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They've seen it. I've seen it on the show.

• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Well, there must be times when people don't have insurance
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: where they just can't afford the bills.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: It's got to be it's gotta be fucking tough.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, like, yeah, it's brutal, but we don't have insurance
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: because Buster has got three legs.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: For him to get insurance was like two and a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: half grand a year.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even though he's less, even though he's less.

  Speaker 3: was so drugged up. Didn't know what that was. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: they said dogs bigger dogs of this age.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Recovery is pretty touch and go, especially got three legs,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: like he can't.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Really for him to get around because he's harder. Yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: it's going to be it's going to be tough.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Is it on the leg side of the opposite side?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure they couldn't put a leg on him
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: while they were there, or this is my dog?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You talk fine, going to make a full recovery, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see Buster.

• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you can talk me. I am the most sensitive man here.

  Speaker 2: absolutely rattled.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I bet absolutely, because they seem so so. They seem
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: so hopeless as well, because obviously they can't help themself.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. You don't know what's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And also when Laura went to visit him last night,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: he was a bit like, why the fuck have you
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: left me here again? You've done this since she was
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: trying to give him a little bit of food, hoping
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: that her being there it did help give him the chicken.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: But then yeah, when she leaves, he's like, well, hang

  Speaker 2: Playing a hide.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: That's some high GSM.

• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Well hang on, just quickly, just quickly. How did it go?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: It was good because you were doing and asking cut, asking,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: cut A couple of questions.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: What questions did you get? Give me one like, what was.
• 9:59

• 10:03
  Speaker 1: his phone. You aba wrote all the questions in there.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: We talked about drinking.

  Speaker 1: It was good.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: How's Laura?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: She looked great. Yeah, she's thriving as a mum and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: as a podcaster, Thank you, and as a wife. Very
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: kind of you to say that she didn't have a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: very nice thing to say about you. What do you mean,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: let you sort that out when you get home. Anyway,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: throw that grenade in there. No, she loves you. It
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was good, But I have some information. So recently you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: told a story about spending more time with you mum,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: which I think is amazing. They're not going to be
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: with us forever. What a guy? What a guy? And
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that's what everyone says, what a guy? And the options
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: were to you started watching a documentary with it a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: specifically a World War II documentary, because you and your
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: mum are quite into that sort of stuff, and you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: actually chose to watch that over having sexual intercourse with
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: your wife.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, we all would have made the same decision, right, Yes,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: you had some what do they call it rustered romance
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: that you denied, deny, denied in favor of Tom Hanks
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: in World War Two.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, so Tom Hanks a twenty part series.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Any man in my position would have done the same thing.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: But someone else in your house has taken claim to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: being a World War two fan. It's not you or
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: your mum. Go on, Can I please have the audio
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: from said life on cut? Just a small podcast that's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: up and coming.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Good luck to them, good luck the.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Most comprehensive World War Two, and I've watched a lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: of World War Two stuff in the last couple of
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: years since living with Ellie.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It's the most comprehensive.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: But because it's narrated by Tom Hanks and it's been
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: done with a real not I don't want to say
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: it's got the Hollywood effect because it certainly doesn't have
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: that more palatable Maybe it's just it's done in a
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: way that I find is not too dry, and it's very,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: very interesting.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I am not a history person.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I am not someone who would normally sit through that
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: much World War content, and I have found it thoroughly
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: like it's been for me. It's probably the first time
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: where I've actually watched that type of history content and
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: being like, I have thoroughly enjoyed this, And I don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: know if war content is something you can say you
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: thoroughly enjoy. And I love Tom Haiks.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So I was like, love sounds like it would make
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: me better at my trivia game. It truly was.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: One of those ones where I was like, he could
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: talk about anything.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Box of chocolates, Tom has got options at your house.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: The whole time she's on her phone, she wasn't watching.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I was like, I was like, can you believe that
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: they're trying to invade staling Grad right now?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: The sixth Army, the old invasion of Stalin staling Grad
• 12:42

  Speaker 2: to you, Nina, what if they find it, Well.

• 27:37
  Speaker 1: he committed got scale back and then they because it
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: got scaled back, so many athletes right now, No, no to
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the athletes, their sports got cut. So those people who
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: had been training for those years for their chance to
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: go to the Cornwealth Games all of a sudden had
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to be like, you don't have a purpose.

  Speaker 1: He's a grower anyway, so you're not missing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Actually I have. There were a couple of interviews on
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the news for the swimmers in DTS and this is
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: going to sound weird. I don't want to sexualize the athletes.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Were they males?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, but okay, when you're wearing DT's ash.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Do you like rest your cock up or down?

  Speaker 1: Why is yours going up?
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: No, the mine's down and this guy's cock was up.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: It might be better for the engineering of the water
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to go the flow.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: It was like his cock was like oh instead of
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: like down.

  Speaker 2: breash stroke and my pet event, and I was like,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: watch your cocks like.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: It's probably going to be one of those things where
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm missing out by two hundreds of a second.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: It's like, tucky cockback cut, tucky cock back down. It's
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: better for water flowing streamline. It's a concave.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Those are athletes should not be wearing dts outside of
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: the pool. It's like if your post swim.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Sure, I get it, but you shouldn't be like at
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: a press conference with your bloody cock resting upwards.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I know someone's got to tell his athletes.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Someone's going to be like, I can see the imprint
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: of it. Please don't know what it's called. It's called
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: catching print. Let me just the science of catching print. Okay, okay,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: we all know what campbeltos are. Sorry, we shut up.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: We all know what cameltoes are, yes, yes, okay, right,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: but this is a man version. It's not a moose knuckle.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It's a catching catching print. Okay, so it's it's actually
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: coined by women, okay. Where it's like, oh I can
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: see the outline of his cock catching print, catching print, right,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I never heard that. There you go can look at it.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: It was a big thing on TikTok with the youth,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: with the youth anyway, but.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Big shout out to all the athletes over in Glasgow
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: doing their best to Glasgow. Yeah, Glasgow, Yeah, Glassgow. Know. Yeah.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Matt Shervington's speaking big cocks.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: He won the three legged race.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I messaged him. I messaged him to come on the podcast.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Do you bring your cock on it?
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Right back? And then I put on the TV and
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: then I was like, oh, he's hosting the comic game.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Because whenever we do see him, he's like, how are
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: you fellas? I'll bring my cock. He creagon. He's the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: reason for a lot of babies born after that the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: nine months after those races.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And also if Matt Shervington is listening.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: He does like the podcast, nice cock, he won't come on.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Now we have some doted dilemmas.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, now you need.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Us more than ever, know that we still have each other.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: You can say sure doting dilemma. You can sure doting dilemma.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Ella e.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Ash this first one. I'm not going to say her name.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: As much as they do want to give her a
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: shout out. I think it's best if I keep it anonymous.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: But she says, my best thing and I now live
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: two and a half hours away from each other, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering if it's time to let.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: The friendship go.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: It's a bit drastic.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Hang on like you sure do it?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Oky do it?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: You won't.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Their kid is a little bit any social and never
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: plays with mine when we finally do meet. Her kid
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: is four, mine is three, and her kid naps are
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: always prioritized over my kids' naps too, So I do
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: all the travel if we're going to meet somewhere. And
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: in addition to this, she has the attitude that parenthood
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: is absolute sunshine and roses all the time and never
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: talks about the irritating stuff that bonds us.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: All.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't what that's like? What would you do?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, I wouldn't letting it go is a
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: bit drastic obviously, like parenting changes people right for the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: good and for the worst in some instances. But like,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's more like, Okay, well I don't.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Think that I would do it's not working out.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I'm like, fine, move on, never contact me again. It's
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: sort of like, I mean, everyone's going to have to
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: live their own lives. But then it doesn't mean that
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you're not friends. It means that, like you've just got
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: different expectations of parenting and different scenarios, which is so
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: true because every kid's different. If it's Sunshina rainbows, good
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: for her, and if that irritates you that she's not well,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: then maybe find some people that you're happy to bitch
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: about your kids with it like I have, and then
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: still have that friend as still your friend, because I
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: don't think you should throw away friendship just because at
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: that time your lives aren't lining up.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Not saying that this is the case with your relationship,
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: anonymous listener, but look, the reality is, like you said,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: people change post parenthood and some relationships won't last.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Or it's like you come back and revisit it late.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Like my sister, she had a really good best friend
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: for years, and I remember there was it wasn't a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: falling out of similar their interests change, and then I
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: was like literally like six or seven years or something,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and then she was at my sister's wedding and my
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: sister was like, we just felt like we were such
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: good friends. And we reconnected again and we're at different
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: stages now, but cycles yeah, we're at different we live
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: in different states even but now that we've reconnected, there's
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: so much for us to catch up on and they're
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: still much friend.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: But I do think as well, up until like six
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: or seven months, if you're it's like, let's say you've
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: had a nice berth and let's say baby's pretty easy,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: they can sleep anywhere. Like we were of the opinion
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: that like, oh yeah, they'll you know, they'll sleep in
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: the prem it's easy to catch up. But then I
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: think from ten months onwards up until three or four
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: that's it's tricky.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: You trap your nap trapped.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: You do get nap trapped. I love being nat trapp
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: because I wouldn'tap too, But like you divide your days
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: into two parts or three parts, depending on where the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: naps are.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: And if you weren't on the same page. It's like
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: when the kids were post one o'clock, we were like, no,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: twelve o'clock. We got to be we got to be
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: at home in a dark room with the selling machine on,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: and I want my kid to sleep otherwise are going
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: to turn fair And.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Other people were just like, oh, I can sleep in
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the gutter.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: We were the same. It's like I wanted those naps
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to be good because that would knock on effect would
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: be that it'd be better later on. Yeah, and she
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: might have a kid that's a great sleeper, great, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that's amazing and it's good for her. You're you're maybe
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit more into a fussy sleeper or eat
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. But yeah, I wouldn't say
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: let go. I would just say they're still your friend.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: It might you might just be on different paths at
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the moment, but the paths come back.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I remember being a kid growing up and they were
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: like some of my mom's really good friends. I won't
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: send any names, but they had kids who were similar
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: age to me.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But I was like, oh, I hate that kid.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I play with him. He's fucking weird, Mom, He's weird, weird,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: the weirdo. I don't want to go, and it's so
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: much harder I do it now, was like, come on,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: like it's weird.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: He tried to talk to me. I hated it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: But when the kids don't get along, it does make
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: it so much harder. But it just means it might
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: be best for you guys to hang out without the kid. Yeah,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: you guys can still see each other. If you can
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: have time away from your child and just see them,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: that might be the best way for you guys to
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: still socialize.
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: I think as well, though two and a half hours away,
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: you might not need to throw away the relationship. It
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: might just be a stepping away from it for a while.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Very good as an easy fade out.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: It's always awkward when they live down the road and
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: you keep bumping into them, like where are you off
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: to the park?
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Me too?
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Fuck, You're like, oh shit, all right. This one's from
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Sarah Jane. I have a dota dilemma which my husband
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: and I can't seem to agree on. I should note
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: we were brought up very differently. He could do basically
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: what he wanted and I was very overprotected. And he
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: is the eldest of three boys, and I'm the youngest
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and only girl. Okay with you? That is opposite. At
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: what age did you let your kids start to do
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: things on their own, like walk home from school, go
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: for bike rides with their friends, etc. My son is
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: nine in year four and we have just relocated a
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: five minute walk from the new school. A lot of
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: kids walk home, and he'd like to start to do
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: that on his own. The local shops are also a
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: one minute walk, and my husband thinks we should be
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: starting to let him do that on his own. Two
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I know it's just a matter of time before he
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: wanted to go for a bike rides with his new friends.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I'm really struggling with the thought of not being there
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: to protect him if something was to happen. The other
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: issue is my middle child is in kindergarten and if
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: he's walking home, she's going to want to do it
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: with him fair enough, which I'm absolutely not okay with.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So may as well just walk all together. Not asking
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: for you to make the decision for me. Oh just
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to know what others have done, as it makes
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: me very anxious. I used to walk to school every
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: morning from the age of seven.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I always have to hike up a mountain.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ask girl parents. What did they do? Well, it
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: was a rail road. There was a rail road. I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: remember that week, just through the mountain. Once we got
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to the railroad, they said, I'll follow it until you
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: hit the sun.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: We'd swimmer kilometer yeah yeah, shark infested water, we'd get
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: that by winter. Yeah yeah, we'd have to build an
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: igloo camp over night. We would then start school.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: How old were you when you walked to school? Yeah?
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Seven seven on the Gold Coast.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I went to primary school in Sydney.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Okay. We were with your older sister though. Yeah, so
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: my sister was two years old and death is very responsible.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: She's brainwashed everyone, I reckon anyway, that's yeah anyway, Ah, No,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: she was. She was. She was a very protecting, biggest
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: big sister for me, which I am very appreciated of
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and we have a great relationship now. But it's like,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: can you just leave that first part in no, Like
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I think people often say to me, like I go
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: to gigs with my sister, I do just one on one.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So but I remember we used to walk to school together. Yeah,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: really early doors because it was so normal.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Did you ever have any run ins with would you
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: say any like stranger danger back in the day, any
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: any thing where you were like, I think we should
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: go this way and get that candy from the man
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: in the van and she's like, no, Ash.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: He's got puppies. No, nothing like that. I think we
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Where we went to school, there was a lot of
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: like bush tracks to get to the entrance. Like there
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: wasn't school's a much more fenced off now, Okay, I
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: remember there was all these different entrances to the school
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: from bush tracks. It was quite a bushy area, and
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: everyone would have their own way of getting into the school.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I remember a group of us.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Would all imagine this like ants coming into it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: That's what it was like, because I mean we would
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: mind we'd all walk to school together, me, my neighbors
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and all this sort of stuff, like different ages all
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: down the same bush track and then onwards. The only
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: thing we did come across was there was a storm
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: water drain through this bush track, like you could see
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the exit or the entry whatever one end of it,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: and kids thought it'd be funny to crawl up the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: fucking thing. And then one of the kids got stuck
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: pretty much, so we had to like look somehow. Look,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: we didn't get stuck. He got halfway, got scared and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: frozen stiff. So we'd have to be like, get parents
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: to come and help us out. And then it would
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: be like, don't.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Go down there. Those one kid, it ruins it for everyone.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but my parents always lived and went to school
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: on hills, okay, and my mum was like, no one,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: no one of danger could be bothered walking up that
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: fucking hill.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: You guys all have great calves, right, thank you. It's
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: myself because of the hills.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're like it just felt safe because.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Because of the hill.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Because of the hill.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Criminals are lazy.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And then when I moved to high school, we would
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: walk all the way to the bus stop, which was
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: like down the hill, which was dangerous. You know, it
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: was like down on the flat with the flat people.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but I think now it's you're going to
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: sound like an old person say it thanks for the Internet.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's open too many eyes because it's like
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: everyone's so petrified, which I think there is a there
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: is a certain degree.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Of healthy to have a bit of anxiety regarding it,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: but then knowing any minor incident that is then put
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: front and center on the news, and it's on social media,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: and you know.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Every every single thing that could go wrong, it does.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Go wrong, You're like, holy fuck, I'm going to wrap
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: my child in bubble wrap for as long.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: As I can.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: And the problem but the problem with that, I like,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful that I was given autonomy around that sort
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: of stuff really early on. So in terms of April,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: not so much. So here's a good example. When I
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: started seeing April, her mom still used to make her sandwiches,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: but it was like when we traveled, she would highly
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: rely on me in terms of navigate everything. And she'll
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: tell you that because she would get dropped off to
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: school picked up, she didn't have the street smarts. I
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: remember my mum would always say I wanted us to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: do that stuff alone so that when we did get older,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: we were traveled enough we would know what to do
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: in a situation. And it worked out because both my
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: sister and I are very individual and very autonomous and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: have been since that, and we weren't helicopter parent.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: You, your streets smarts would be the highest of anyone
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: that I know.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Really, Oh yeah, shut up, yeah, yeh, yeah, you're welcome.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But my issue is with my kids, Like, as
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: an example, the one rule that we have that I'm
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: trying to implementing their head is you're going across the road,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: you gotta look left, right, and then left again then
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: you cross, and they're like got it. And then I'm like, okay,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to be over here. You can cross
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: when you want.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: And they're just like yep, and I'm like wow, and
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: you've got to look first, and like got it.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Do they know the reality of what would happen if
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: they got hit by a car.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: I was literally explaining to them. I was like, if
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: you get hit by a car, you will end up
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: in hospital with broken bones, mate, And they're like, is
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: that lad? Would it hurt their TVs in hospital? Yeah?
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: But it's not the point screens.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I said to April April Oscar. I was like, you
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: get hit by a car, splat, It's like what. I'm like,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: You'll be all over the road, mate, There'll be nothing
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: left to you.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: But I my kids still won't look left and right
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: and crossing the road if they're on a scooter in
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: front of me and I'm like stop, stop at the
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: last second, and.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, oh, what for. I'm like, you didn't
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: you didn't look and they're like, what for for the
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: fucking cars look right now? And they're like, well, you
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: didn't tell me what age? You guys fucking understand to
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: look left and right.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, I know we implemented whenever they look left
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: or right, they go right. So if they look right,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: they go they have to say no cars left, no cars,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: And now Macy's just like no cars.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: If I'm on the bike, I sometimes a're on the
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: back and I'm like, Okay, who's going to be my
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: eyes for me?
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Can you check? Is it clear? And they're like go ahead?
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Fucking buses like and I'm like, you didn't look at
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: you right before? What's what's the problem?
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: You guys suck that?
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: Yeh.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I think like the kids being out and about on
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: their own, it's that. I think that scares me more
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: than anything else. I think like letting go he didn't
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: get hit by car. But I think like you've got
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to give you got to do it though, You've got
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: to give your kids some eyes, some autonomus.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: I think I think at the age of like three,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: so it's of like eight or nine, I.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Should get a job.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: They should be out there sweeping chimneys.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I think if it's a five minute war from home,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I think it's okay.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah with it. I'm still nervous with a buddy.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Like with a buddy, like if you want to pick
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: someone kidder's nearby, you guys can all come together, and
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I think it's fine. Like I know my sister will
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: go pick up the youngest is in kindie. George, who
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: is the eldest will walk home by himself with the mate,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: or like they'll ride bikes by themselves, smoke and and
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: then yeah he.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Probably is, isn't he?
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah I was?
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: And then shaggy pants will get taken home by mum m.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: It definitely scares me, but I think like it also depends,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: like how big the distance is, Like we were pretty
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: close to school and then there was a group of it.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: A group is always good because it's like they can't
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: take all of it.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: From the age of nine, I'm allowing a kilometer.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah right, and then every age above that, every
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: year the radius increases is by another kilometer.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my name's eighty nine. She can only drive like
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: five ks. So it comes full circle.
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: One little hack I saw from a few mums about
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: if you are sort of testing the waters with your
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: kids coming home and stuff, get an air tag and
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: chuck it in your kids shoe. They don't know it's there,
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: and you can keep track of where they're going, what
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: path they're taking, that sort of thing.
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: When they get a bit older.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: Life three sixty app is like amazing for keeping track
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: of where they're going.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Is that through their phone? You track their phone.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: They need to have the app as well, whether it's
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: on a watch or on a phone yet so generally
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: high school students, but my nephew loves mountain bike riding
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: and so it was a really great way to make
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: sure that he was still constantly moving and moving around safely.
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if he stopped.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Where do you put the air tag on the shoe?
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: Apparently you can cut like a little hole, put it
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: in like under the sole, cut a hole out.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: That's Real's get I think, Yeah, I like.
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: It, cut it out, put it in, and then super
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: glue it back in. So basically, if they lose their shoe,
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: it's the only way to come out.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: My kids always lose their shoes. Am I wear are
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: your shoes? How are we going to track these people.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Remember Whipper did that for the city to serf He
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: tagged his kids without telling them because obviously it's a
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: massive crowd and they were all doing it together as
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: a family. But like, can I just.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Say I'm not opposed to putting in micro chips and
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: my kids?
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: Is that a thing?
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Can you do that?
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I'll find out what's wrong with that.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be that close to.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Them, just for like these early years and then when
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: they're an adult and they're like, what's this weird lump
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: on my wrist?
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Like, ask your.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Mother who is It's like a microchip like a dog.
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we're not far off
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: from that.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: We're not far off from that. I don't think.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Ash.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: This one is for you. If I may ask you
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: a question you well, it's not you, but I'm asking
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: on behalf of anonymous.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: That's a strange name. Research it's French. Oh well, that's
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: that's a bit of Japanese as well.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Your French in Japanese are always intertwined.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I've always said that.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: She says, my partner has an alcohol dependency, and whenever
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: I bring it up, he gets upset because we've had
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: the conversation so many times, but he hasn't been able
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: to stop drinking, despite claiming that he wants to. He
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: knows it's bad and doesn't seem to be able to stop,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: even for the sake of our one year old. Hearing
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Ash's story gives me some hope, but I don't know
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: how to be more supportive. But I don't know how
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: to be a more supportive partner when I can't bring
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: this up without him getting upset. We will be bringing
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: April on the podcast to talk about this. But when
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: you think about your situation and your decision to stop drinking,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: do you think there's anything that April could have done
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: or said or behaved in a way that would have
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: encouraged you to give up sooner?
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Probably not. I actually do get this message a little
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: bit here and there from people, and it's fairly common
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: where it's like my husband or my wife, you know,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: and they are torn on what to do because you
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: love this person so much at the same time, you
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: don't want to rock the boat to a point that
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: makes them get their neck up or because ultimately, and
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I always say this, the end decision is down to him, right.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: I think April was really good at not confronting me
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: about it. It was sort of like him where I
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: knew the damage it was doing. I knew that I
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to one day be alcohol free. And I always
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: say that Pi seads daydream about being sober or every
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: piece said you asked them, I'm like, do you ever
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: think about being sober? And they're probably yeah, all the time.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: It's just one of those things. But like in her instance,
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: I think like you've already got a couple of things
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: going for you. He knows that it's bad for him.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: I think for her it's to be patient and not
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: to push it.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Is there any situation where you can think of where
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: you know, we talk about like we coached him, right,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: and he's all about rewarding the good behavior, and jen
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Ewi says that a lot as well. Was it any
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: times where you were behaving in a certain way, and like,
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: tell me if this is not the case, but if you,
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: like on a Saturday night, I'm assuming that would be
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: a night you would most commonly drink, or Friday night
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: every night. Yeah, so one if there was a night
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: where you didn't drink, If April was to say like, hey, like,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: really good job.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: You know, like I'm really proud of it if you're
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: not drinking? Did that help it all?
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: What did help? Was noticed? I noticed when I had
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: consciously decided not to drink on certain days. I noticed
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: that we would do think more like, we would do
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: more together. We were much more a happy couple. It's
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: really tricky because I think anyone, no one wants to
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: be told they've got a problem right straight away, whether
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: you've got an addiction or not. If you're told that
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: you're doing something that someone else doesn't agree with, all
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're going to get your neck up,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: unless like you're of the opinion that okay, I want
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: to I just need some support. I think what's probably
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: really healthy and would be if she doesn't make it
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: about him. She makes it about them. So like I
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: remember April saying to me once and I sort of
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: took the hint. She was like, hey, do you know
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: what my purpose? She sort of said what her perfect
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: night was, and it was like, do you know what
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: perfect night is? That we get to eat together, we
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: get to lay in bed and watch TV together. And
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: then it was sort of like and who knows you know,
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: and I kind of took that and I was like, okay,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: well it was not It wasn't just about me. It
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: was about what her perfect night is and what we
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: could do together. So I don't know, if it's like
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: you might have your own health goals, this person who's
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: worried about a husband, why not come up with a
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: health goal together? And it might actually just askew some
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: of the thought around thinking about drinking all the time.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Because I guarantee you if it's a dependency, he thinks
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: about it all the time. But why don't you try
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: and shift that to thinking about us and not about that.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: And then do you think it's better instead of trying
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: to attack it from like we've got to stop drinking
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: like every night. It's a case of trying to break
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: it down, so it wakes it down. So one night,
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: you guys, you know, if it's it's a Thursday night,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: is like when the drinking starts. As an example, just
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: not drinking every night. Do you try and attack it
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: from like that one night? We just focused on that
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: one night itself and then grow from there if you can.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you could easily if like I said, if
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: he already knows that he wants to stop. We'll say, hey,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: don't we on well, why don't we on Wednesday night?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Why don't we do something together every Wednesday night to
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: give you that break in the middle of the week,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: so you can see how you feel the back end
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: of the week, Because.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Do you find it hard if you're at home in
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: that environment where you would have a drink in hand?
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Do you find it hard to be in that same
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: environment without the bottle? Is it easier to be out
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: of the house in the evenings?
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want to leave the house anymore.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: It's when you first stopped drinking.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: When I first stopped drinking, I would It's about distraction, right,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I think all the things that you would do that
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: involve alcohol, which the thing is, it bleeds into every
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: part of your life. Okay, so it's like all of
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you become a parent, right, and then alcohol
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: bleeds into that world. Instead of you being like I
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: want to separate alcohol use around my family, but I
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: think there's obviously things that they do together they both
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: enjoy and it's like, okay, well, maybe instead of having
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: our normal shake your routine up a bit in the
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: middle of the week and go Okay, well I've noticed
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: that you do you want to have a night off
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: having a drink if you feel like you have to
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: do it, what can we do together or I remember,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I do remember recall when I've said to Abel, I
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: want to have a good cracket at this time, she
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: would say, she would say, hey, go and see your mate,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: or go and do something that will make you feel
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: like you don't need to do it. It's really really hard.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Not about one he likes a drink.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's it, Like you're going to go
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: through a time of some isolation, but it's worth it
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: in the end. And I think I think as soon
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: as she starts talking about it that it's his problem.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Is when you're gonna have we're gonna have bigger problem.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: It's more like, make it seem like his idea. If
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: that helps. Anyone says yeah, Everyone always says I want
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: to talk to me about him, Like yeah, but talk
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: to me about it and see how that goes, and
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: then maybe really think about it. But I would say,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: make it about you guys as a whole, as a unit,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: and maybe do something with the whole family at those
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: trigger points throughout the day where it's like four o'clock
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. You trigger point, we go, right, everyone up,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: let's go, you know what I mean. And it's like,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: can I take a drink? No? No, no, come on,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: let's go. You're gonna drink me. We get back, shake
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: that up a little bit, yeah, because then he'll be like, oh, okay,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: because I remember, like the most uncomfortable times were when
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: you're not doing the regular thing, which is like drinking.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: But then it would be like then I would start
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: to think about it a little bit more and maybe
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: push myself to maybe not drink tomorrow and night. That
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: was great, you know, but like everyone's gonna be different,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: but it's ultimately up to him.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Last question, when you were stopping drinking, did you remove
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: alcohol from the fridge? Nah, because that I imagine that
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: must be hard, is if you're at home and the
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: fridge has got cold beers in it.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got two cases in the laundry, I've got
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I've got bottles of alcohol in the laundry I had,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I've got a bar fridge. Thankfully, Mike drank all that
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: because I contemplated at the time. I was like, that's
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: not a trigger for me, seeing it is not a trigger.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Right, but at the same time, biggest trigger.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I think the kids were a big one.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Having a stressful day.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I just felt like it just became so part of
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: my life that it was like the only way I
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: would feel comfortable is if I had it. But like
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: when I did quit and it was in the fridge,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: it made it a little bit like it's in there,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not going here. It was I kind of felt
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit proud about that.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that in front.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but again it was it was my decision, and
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: April never ever gave me an ultimatum. She never ever got.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: It would have been way worse, I thought I would have.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Think I was already at a point it was like
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: life is so fucking exhausting just being me. Imagine having
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: someone else coming over the top of you to tell
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: you doing the wrong thing as well. Yeah, it's so
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: much pressure. And you know, like I said, she's got
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: a couple of things already going for that.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: He knows.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I would say, be patient and just try and do
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: some things for you both that can disrupt the routine
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: a little bit. And then yeah, a little bit of
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: praise here and there is definitely really helped me. But
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, he's got to make that decision on
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: his own. I love that to her luck yeah, and
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: be patient with him because it's so much harder than
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: people think it is. Like I always joke about how
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: people say, just have one. Oh fuck, you've solved all
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: of my problems.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Oh you thought about that.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I never thought about just having one. I've only ever
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: had fifteen at a time. And it's like, it's so
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: much harder than people think it is, because it becomes
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: it consumes you. Like I still, Like I said to
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Laura and Britt on Life on Car, I said, there's
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: not a day or a moment where I don't think
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: about it. Not a moment where I don't think about it.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: But I know that I'm better off without it, and
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I know that everyone else around me is better off
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: without it.
• 54:37
