- 0:31Speaker 1: out in the blister. Do you then put like vasoline
- 0:35Speaker 1: or purpor cream on that and then the sock and
- 0:38Speaker 1: the shoe?
- 0:39Speaker 2: No? No, sock. Soccer is just so we're talking sandals.
- 0:41Speaker 2: We'll go crocs. My kids living crocs at the moment.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Okay, so I know.
- 0:46Speaker 2: The soccer is just they're so censory that are just
- 0:49Speaker 2: absolutely for a crock. It'd send them. What about at school?

- 1:38Speaker 2: hack that I don't give advice.
- 1:40Speaker 1: We don't give advice, but we'll give a hack, okay,
- 1:42Speaker 1: And it's an old soccer boy hack.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Is what you do is you put the band aid on.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Of course you want to keep that shit safe, maybe
- 1:48Speaker 1: kill the germs something on underneath it, but it's embedding.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Or the powder, whatever your preference is. Powder, there's powder
- 1:57Speaker 1: and then you go band aids sock and then vassoline
- 2:01Speaker 1: and or poor pork cream on the sock on the
- 2:04Speaker 1: sock so the sock does the slipping on the shoe
- 2:06Speaker 1: and not the back of the foot. Before your poop
- 2:08Speaker 1: poo me and shake your head.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I know I would never poop poo. It fucking works.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Wow, Like I remember when someone told me this a
- 2:18Speaker 1: young whipper snapper to do that and I was like, oh,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and then I did it.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I haven't had a blister. I haven't had a blister.
- 2:23Speaker 2: It's twenty five years. Is it preventative or is it
- 2:26Speaker 2: kenby both?
- 2:26Speaker 1: If you've got new soccer cleats, you can, or if
- 2:29Speaker 1: you've got new shoes and you're like, fuck, they're gonna
- 2:31Speaker 1: give me a blister.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Put a bit of vasso on the sock. Okay, let
- 2:34Speaker 2: the sock do the slipping. Let the sock take the brunt.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I've always said that, Let the sock do the slipping
- 2:40Speaker 1: in the shoe and let the feet do the walking.
- 2:42Speaker 2: There he is there, he is put a T shirt ashwicks,
- 2:45Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. We could wrap the show right now,
- 2:48Speaker 2: Is it right?
- 2:49Speaker 4: Up?
- 2:49Speaker 2: Is that it?
- 2:49Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:50Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's going to be what else we've
- 2:52Speaker 2: got to talk about it?
- 2:52Speaker 4: Then?
- 2:52Speaker 2: All de side. Actually, I have to Vic. I don't
- 2:55Speaker 2: want you to be worried here. I don't want you
- 2:58Speaker 2: to be concerned however, but I'm going to be honest
- 3:01Speaker 2: right now and let you know that your husband is
- 3:05Speaker 2: at home with my mom right now.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:08Speaker 1: And although it's post shoulder injury, so she's not as
- 3:12Speaker 1: strong as she used to be.
- 3:14Speaker 2: But then Dan has a bad knee, so I didn't
- 3:18Speaker 2: get any footage of it. But Dan has been at
- 3:21Speaker 2: my house for a couple of days now, last week,
- 3:23Speaker 2: a few days back to back.
- 3:24Speaker 3: You just look him up in the basement after them, and.
- 3:26Speaker 2: I didn't have to know he's having a good day ignoring.
- 3:32Speaker 2: So my mom lives with us in case anyone is unfamiliar.
- 3:36Speaker 2: And if there's one thing that she likes doing, it's
- 3:38Speaker 2: just it's looking after other people. Not herself, but other people.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And she offered down a cup of tea on day one,
- 3:46Speaker 2: and then he accepted.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Oh, you've set the bar.
- 3:49Speaker 2: And then she offered another cup of tea. But she
- 3:52Speaker 2: also accepted and also complimented my mum on her teamaking.
- 3:55Speaker 2: She's she's well for English. So the tea for her
- 3:58Speaker 2: is like life, right, It's one of the most important
- 4:01Speaker 2: jobs imaginable. And so by him saying great cup of tea,
- 4:05Speaker 2: he's happening six cups a day. That's an affair. And
- 4:08Speaker 2: do you know what has happened after that? Then on
- 4:11Speaker 2: top of the tea, she's added in biki banana bread.
- 4:15Speaker 2: It's close, very close.
- 4:17Speaker 4: I mean to say to someone like that that you're
- 4:19Speaker 4: good at making a cup of tea is like the
- 4:21Speaker 4: highest compliment, and Dan can drink like ten or twelve
- 4:25Speaker 4: cups a day.
- 4:25Speaker 3: I'm starting to think that they are like a perfect match.
- 4:29Speaker 2: So I'm single now enjoy it. Maybe not now, but
- 4:34Speaker 2: could happen soon. Could Yeah, he's got two more days
- 4:37Speaker 2: at my house, and I think that's all he needs.
- 4:39Speaker 2: It could be. Yeah, that's it. I said to Nada,
- 4:42Speaker 2: Just be careful because he's you're going to be paying
- 4:44Speaker 2: him to drink tea. You sit around and drink tea
- 4:46Speaker 2: with your mum, I reckon.
- 4:47Speaker 4: That's his favorite part of the job. He always comes
- 4:49Speaker 4: home and tells me, guess what they gave me today?
- 4:52Speaker 4: Not just the Johnson's, but whichever house is at because
- 4:55Speaker 4: there's always an old lady or an old man or
- 4:57Speaker 4: someone who loves to wait on him.
- 4:58Speaker 2: And then do you know what happened on Friday? Okay,
- 5:01Speaker 2: normally on a Friday, they'd be leftovers. On this occasion,
- 5:04Speaker 2: it was chili konng khanni, which I was very excited
- 5:06Speaker 2: for from the Thursday Thursday, I was gonna have that
- 5:09Speaker 2: for my lunch. Come down the stairs. Who do I
- 5:12Speaker 2: see sitting there outside? With a cup of tea, banana
- 5:15Speaker 2: bread and a bot of chilikon Khannie and both of
- 5:21Speaker 2: you need to watch out. And my mom was like,
- 5:23Speaker 2: leve me with some yogurt on there a avocado. Oh
- 5:25Speaker 2: my god, it's like a wrong con And then I
- 5:27Speaker 2: look back and they're fucking there's a wrong com happened.
- 5:32Speaker 2: So I've left them by themselves.
- 5:34Speaker 1: Yeah, we better check in after this. I se if
- 5:37Speaker 1: everyone's kept them hands for themselves.
- 5:39Speaker 2: But he's doing a great job. Yeah, like I said,
- 5:42Speaker 2: post surgery, she's not as strong as.
- 5:43Speaker 4: She used to be. She probably is enjoying feeling wanted again.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's it.
- 5:47Speaker 1: If she likes to, if she likes to make sure
- 5:49Speaker 1: everyone's okay having someone else there and be like tea.
- 5:51Speaker 2: He cleaned some of the papers and it looked good,
- 5:54Speaker 2: absolutely no question about it. It did look good. But
- 5:57Speaker 2: my mom was like, it's the.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Done.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Wow, how did you do it? Did?
- 6:04Speaker 1: He walk hero ound like this too with her eyes
- 6:06Speaker 1: covered up and was like ready one, two, three.
- 6:08Speaker 2: He got rid of a couple of leaves and she
- 6:10Speaker 2: was like, I can't believe it's the same house. I know, Yeah,
- 6:14Speaker 2: you've eliminated all the leaves in the neighborhood. It's crazy,
- 6:16Speaker 2: you're amazing. Who taught you this? Dad? I can see
- 6:20Speaker 2: her being like, who taught you how to do that?
- 6:22Speaker 2: So he's doing a great job. Also did a great
- 6:25Speaker 2: job at your house?
- 6:26Speaker 3: He did, yes.
- 6:27Speaker 1: So when April was away, he came finished the floors.
- 6:31Speaker 1: There was some skirting that everyone seemed to point out
- 6:33Speaker 1: in my videos that needed to be fixed. April said, Oh,
- 6:36Speaker 1: I'm so glad they're not commenting that anymore.
- 6:38Speaker 3: When she was away, I was like, Okay, what can
- 6:40Speaker 3: I do for her?
- 6:41Speaker 2: She's away?
- 6:42Speaker 1: What can I do for Probably just the thing she's
- 6:44Speaker 1: been asking me to do for ages, which is that
- 6:46Speaker 1: got her card details. She came out to a clean
- 6:49Speaker 1: household some fresh skirting boards.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Can I just say? Brent in the Facebook group was like,
- 6:54Speaker 2: those skirting boards are looking much better, mate, I know
- 6:57Speaker 2: they're not actually attached. People were noticing that.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Dan, I couldn't not notice after you pointed it out,
- 7:02Speaker 4: it was the only thing I could look at it.
- 7:04Speaker 2: To go back to the previous post, It's like, did
- 7:06Speaker 2: you change locations because of the skirting?
- 7:08Speaker 5: Because you did a couple of bedroom I need a bedroom,
- 7:10Speaker 5: so Avery wouldn't see what I was doing the way anyway,
- 7:15Speaker 5: the big hole in the ceiling behind everyone's like, oh
- 7:18Speaker 5: my god, I can't watch these videos.
- 7:19Speaker 1: No, it was the cord that what's not wrong in
- 7:21Speaker 1: the fucking house. But the intercom that we have, because
- 7:25Speaker 1: it's it is technically a unit, we have an intercom,
- 7:28Speaker 1: but it hasn't been plugged in for so long that
- 7:30Speaker 1: I've like lost it.
- 7:33Speaker 2: And I'm like, do you need it?
- 7:35Speaker 1: I'm quite enjoying my life without it, if I'm honest.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Because it's so loud that the dog barks. I've tried
- 7:41Speaker 1: to turn it down. It's down to its lowest. And
- 7:43Speaker 1: then the front gate that it's actually attached to is nice.
- 7:47Speaker 3: Of the time it's open.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I went down there the other day because someone was
- 7:50Speaker 1: delivering something and they're like, I'm out the front. I'm like, yeah, okay,
- 7:53Speaker 1: the gate's never locked. And also the fence you've seen
- 7:55Speaker 1: the fence where the visitor parking is, it's up to
- 7:58Speaker 1: like your knee you.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Could just step over.
- 8:01Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, I'll come down, and the
- 8:03Speaker 3: gate was open.
- 8:04Speaker 1: He was standing there, so come within the property, like
- 8:06Speaker 1: I'm right here, and we're the first door is not
- 8:08Speaker 1: that hard, but I'm enjoying not having it, especially because
- 8:11Speaker 1: I eat quite late and it's always Uber Eats and
- 8:15Speaker 1: if they dig the bar, the.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Buzza fucking kids wake up.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nightmare. So you have to say delivery notes.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I do have it on there, they ignore it.
- 8:23Speaker 1: And also what happened is Uber Eats relocated my pickup
- 8:26Speaker 1: pin and I can't change it. So now's to the
- 8:28Speaker 1: back of the building and the driveway goes right around bustard.
- 8:30Speaker 2: What are you ordering? What's your go to order?
- 8:33Speaker 1: I just mixed between a few different things. Gusey, you
- 8:36Speaker 1: Love's on the list, the Greek Place, Oh, that's right
- 8:39Speaker 1: up there.
- 8:40Speaker 2: At the moment, those two are a big pizza guy.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Not all the time, because I because I put on
- 8:45Speaker 1: like fucking like six kilos at the start of winter.
- 8:48Speaker 2: From that sort of looking great.
- 8:50Speaker 1: The moment I've lost April went away and came back
- 8:51Speaker 1: and I've lost three and a half kilos.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was going to say, have you last weight?
- 8:54Speaker 2: And you got a beanie and you got a beanie

- 9:45Speaker 1: until we get the news articles and it's like landfill
- 9:49Speaker 1: overtaken by ushes.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Surely Woolworths has to put out some kind of statement
- 9:54Speaker 2: to say that it's made from recycled bags or like
- 9:57Speaker 2: bottle caps or something, because I remember, I remember back
- 10:03Speaker 2: in the day when she first came out the first,

- 17:24Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you were being warned, Matthew.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Matt you scared me.
- 17:30Speaker 1: If you're teaching your girls left right left when crossing
- 17:33Speaker 1: the road, as it's look right, left right, Look that's
- 17:38Speaker 1: an easy mistake to make, or we'll be honest, because.
- 17:41Speaker 2: If they're looking left, you're right, they're looking the wrong.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Depends what is there left? My left? That depends which
- 17:46Speaker 2: way you're crossing? Which way am I looking for children? Okay,
- 17:50Speaker 2: I've got it.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Depends what country you're in.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Yes, depends, thank you, which am I looking at the
- 17:56Speaker 2: kid directly? Or am I behind the kid? Is it
- 17:58Speaker 2: there left or my life? We cross road, I'm upside down.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yes, it's look right left right makes a big difference,
- 18:05Speaker 1: does it fair?
- 18:06Speaker 2: Fair?
- 18:07Speaker 1: Perhaps that's why they're not good at being your eyes
- 18:10Speaker 1: when on the bike.
- 18:11Speaker 2: So now she's very accustive. That's enough. I've never commented
- 18:18Speaker 2: it on a pod before. I know why.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I know why, probably never do it again, but felt
- 18:26Speaker 1: like it was worth saying, well it love the podcast though.
- 18:29Speaker 2: You guys are hilarious. Okay, thank you. That is very
- 18:33Speaker 2: valid feedback. Right, left right. I apologize.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because when you go to a different country,
- 18:38Speaker 1: like I do it too, where I look the wrong way,
- 18:40Speaker 1: especially in America, because I just think like they're just
- 18:43Speaker 1: like us, but they're not. And when it like in
- 18:45Speaker 1: Vegas a few times, I was like going to step
- 18:46Speaker 1: up and then someone's beat to the other side.
- 18:48Speaker 2: I'm my god. I have been riding the bike in
- 18:50Speaker 2: Germany and I was going pretty fast and I went
- 18:53Speaker 2: to jump from the footpath onto the road and I
- 18:57Speaker 2: looked the wrong way and I jumped onto the road Uckily.
- 19:00Speaker 2: There were no cars. But it was only when I
- 19:01Speaker 2: was on the road that I was like, holy fuck,
- 19:03Speaker 2: if there was a car there, I would have been. Yeah,
- 19:05Speaker 2: it's easy done. It's an easy mistake to make.
- 19:07Speaker 3: So right, let me get this straight. Right left right, right, left, right, got.
- 19:12Speaker 2: It moving along. Better feedback from our Brazilian listeners about
- 19:16Speaker 2: kids parties.
- 19:17Speaker 3: If the Brazilian community, no, I think it's Matthias.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Here says, that's such a Brazilian name, is it German?
- 19:25Speaker 2: Give me a more Brazilian name? There he is. But
- 19:29Speaker 2: Mattia says, a party is a party.
- 19:31Speaker 3: That's it, well well said.
- 19:35Speaker 7: Can't argue with that.
- 19:36Speaker 2: You cannot argue with that. It's not just for the kids,
- 19:40Speaker 2: It's for the whole family and friends and everyone who's
- 19:43Speaker 2: meaningful to the child to come together. Laura also says
- 19:46Speaker 2: a lot of feedback on the Brazilian parties. My partner
- 19:49Speaker 2: is Brazilian. And make sure you were there for the
- 19:51Speaker 2: happy Birthday singing, as I think that's a requirement of
- 19:55Speaker 2: all children's birthday parties.
- 19:56Speaker 3: I've never missed it.
- 19:57Speaker 2: It's bad management if you're not there for the happy birthday.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Hate cutting. But she says in Portuguese it is epic.
- 20:03Speaker 1: April did take Oscar to the Brazilian barbecue slash Portuguese
- 20:07Speaker 1: festival slash lasted all day party.
- 20:10Speaker 2: And I remind people what was unique about it?
- 20:12Speaker 1: It was like six hours long. Yeah, it was like
- 20:14Speaker 1: ten toll three or something nine three. I think there
- 20:17Speaker 1: was something like and obviously like they do celebrate in numbers.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Feedback from April, well, we were told.
- 20:24Speaker 1: By others, yes, it's a long part, but you don't
- 20:26Speaker 1: have to be there for the whole thing.
- 20:28Speaker 3: These are the ideal.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Was that is that a test though? It's like, you
- 20:30Speaker 2: don't have to save the whole thing, but we'll know
- 20:32Speaker 2: when you leave or not jump up.
- 20:35Speaker 1: But April took Oscar. They did do the Portuguese Happy Birthday.
- 20:40Speaker 1: April was like the kids pretended to sing it as
- 20:43Speaker 1: well because they wanted to fit in.
- 20:44Speaker 3: So that's fair.
- 20:45Speaker 2: Should we have a listen? I'm not familiar so on
- 20:47Speaker 2: that my amazing thinks that she can speak Spanish because
- 20:50Speaker 2: she reckoned she can sing bad bunny. I have a
- 20:52Speaker 2: fake language that I speak with my kids. Oh, what's
- 20:56Speaker 2: the purpose of a fake language? Just a bit of fun, fun,
- 20:59Speaker 2: bit of fun.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Real.
- 21:02Speaker 2: It's like.
- 21:04Speaker 3: That just sounds Russian.
- 21:05Speaker 2: He's a bit Russian. It's very like. And they speak
- 21:08Speaker 2: to me and Laura is not in on it, and
- 21:09Speaker 2: she tries to like, well, can you just butt out
- 21:13Speaker 2: the conversation here? Did you guys see what you said?
- 21:18Speaker 2: And then I was like we kind of like, so
- 21:19Speaker 2: brush your teeth, I'd have to say your lola, I'd say.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Wow to a child is like brush you.
- 21:28Speaker 1: I love it.
- 21:29Speaker 4: I love it.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Anything to like it's giving taken, just to spice up
- 21:33Speaker 2: the routine. It's giving taken.
- 21:34Speaker 3: One like the accent of the what do they call them? They?
- 21:39Speaker 2: I do sometimes wonder work with the park and I
- 21:41Speaker 2: we sometimes, you know, this fake language that we speak
- 21:44Speaker 2: is creeping out of the household into the public realm,
- 21:47Speaker 2: and I do wonder we speak at it at the park.
- 21:49Speaker 2: I'm like, wonder if people think like they're European, wonder
- 21:51Speaker 2: what they're like from Bosnia. You're in the Bosnian daily Mail,
- 21:56Speaker 2: one of the adultings. Here's every birthday. A Portuguese version.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Enjoy it, okay, instantly much better than our version. That's
- 22:07Speaker 2: as instantly much better than our version. If that's not
- 22:14Speaker 2: it to the Brazilian and Portuguese community, run with whatever
- 22:17Speaker 2: that So.
- 22:20Speaker 1: We got this shitty We don't even have any instruments
- 22:23Speaker 1: for ourbum They've got Reaver.
- 22:26Speaker 2: That was just they've got Reaver that was an ad
- 22:28Speaker 2: for some software. Anyway, this is es it and this
- 22:33Speaker 2: is the real version that's still way better. Wont they're happy? Yeah?
- 22:44Speaker 2: No matter six hours. I wonder how long the kick
- 22:46Speaker 2: ons go for ye, I'll fait it out hang on.
- 23:10Speaker 1: I feel like as a community we are lazy because
- 23:13Speaker 1: that like happy birthday for us in English is like, oh.
- 23:21Speaker 3: That's better.
- 23:22Speaker 1: I will say for my next birthday, I want.
- 23:26Speaker 2: That a little bit high pitched. It's like they've had
- 23:28Speaker 2: healing though the pre the pre ramble. I'm sure.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like to get people because if someone.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Was to sing it in full like traditional circumstance, not here,
- 23:39Speaker 1: there's probably like more like more hyping up version.
- 23:43Speaker 2: Just before we move on away from happy birthdays. Apparently
- 23:46Speaker 2: no hip hip hoorahe In America, yeah, they aren't really
- 23:49Speaker 2: sure about it? Are they like not to be sure
- 23:53Speaker 2: about it? Is it? They don't want to be too gleeful.
- 23:55Speaker 2: I don't know if you're American? What happened? Why is
- 23:59Speaker 2: it just American? Okay, here we go. Do the Canadians
- 24:01Speaker 2: do it?
- 24:01Speaker 1: Because I feel like I'm sure we resonate more they
- 24:04Speaker 1: do it than they give you one of us.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Then they just give you the dick to their house.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Do you know what happened last night.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Too much sleep? What do you mean I fell asleep?

- 24:21Speaker 2: much sleep on. I don't know if we're sure the
- 24:27Speaker 2: one time. Are you going to get much sympathy? I
- 24:29Speaker 2: don't know, but take it away?

- 25:32Speaker 2: If it happened twice.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Why do people feel the need to reach over me
- 25:39Speaker 1: or my prem to touch my baby. We definitely talked,
- 25:43Speaker 1: We've definitely talked about this a few times, but it's
- 25:44Speaker 1: definitely worth reminding people.
- 25:46Speaker 2: I hate when people reach over, but if they want
- 25:48Speaker 2: to reach around, I'm fine with that, very good. Because
- 25:51Speaker 2: of the hand job, Vic, that's a hand job joke.

- 26:09Speaker 2: she said, jerk, just make that up. That's Jesus.
- 26:14Speaker 1: My initial knee jerk reaction is to swat the hand away,
- 26:19Speaker 1: not mine. All right, we didn't get back on track,
- 26:24Speaker 1: back on track, back on track, back on track.

- 26:45Speaker 3: Just the head.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry guys, sorry, sorry, don't you apologize, but.

- 26:56Speaker 3: I don't know you? Thanks good for you or did
- 26:59Speaker 3: you say in your head like I do?
- 27:01Speaker 1: Sadly, the second woman managed to grab a foot. Sadly,
- 27:05Speaker 1: the second woman managed to grab a foot before I
- 27:07Speaker 1: could body block.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Her from my pram. Now you're in the walls out here.
- 27:12Speaker 3: But in my mind, if I walked.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Up to a stranger and grabbed their foot cheek without knowing,
- 27:18Speaker 1: then I'd expect to be swatted or punched away.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I know it's a generational thing. Am I being too precious?
- 27:24Speaker 1: No?
- 27:25Speaker 2: Do we know if that was an honor or not?
- 27:27Speaker 3: I bet you it was, the need to bet it was.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Actually credit to the honors, they've heard the message. Lola
- 27:32Speaker 2: was approached by an honor who we didn't know and
- 27:35Speaker 2: was like, oh good you, good you and didn't like it.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Since we out of the honors, they've been very good.
- 27:41Speaker 3: How many honors you coming into contact.
- 27:43Speaker 2: With a lot, a lot big Nona community in bond
- 27:47Speaker 2: I remember I remember going back a couple of years.
- 27:51Speaker 2: We were down at the beach, but we're on a
- 27:54Speaker 2: park bench and you know when you're kind of like
- 27:56Speaker 2: packing up and you're like getting all the kids ready,
- 27:57Speaker 2: and we bumped into a one a Laura's friend had
- 28:00Speaker 2: a baby in a pram. So I was sitting there
- 28:02Speaker 2: with chatting I have a lovely time by the beach,
- 28:05Speaker 2: and she had a beautiful baby in her pram and
- 28:08Speaker 2: a lady walked past and was like, oh my god,
- 28:11Speaker 2: like such beautiful children, and we're like, oh, thank you
- 28:14Speaker 2: so much. And then she then picked up the kid
- 28:17Speaker 2: and the pram and was like, oh my god, like
- 28:18Speaker 2: held her and I just assumed they knew each other. Yeah,
- 28:22Speaker 2: I assume they were friends. Would and she assumed that
- 28:25Speaker 2: we were friends with her, and so then after a
- 28:28Speaker 2: couple of minutes, she was like, anyway, I gave the
- 28:30Speaker 2: baby back, and I was like, bye, guys, have a
- 28:31Speaker 2: good day, walked off, and we're both like she your friend. No,
- 28:35Speaker 2: we're like much so fucking weird Raisin praising. Imagine just
- 28:40Speaker 2: walking into someone's house and being like, oh, that's a
- 28:43Speaker 2: nice dinner.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I'm gonna for the record, I don't want to touch
- 28:45Speaker 1: any babies, just so you know, because like people was
- 28:49Speaker 1: a baby okay, cool, there's no urge for me.
- 28:52Speaker 2: To be like k because I have the urge and
- 28:55Speaker 2: because we are friends, careful, I have the urge. If
- 28:58Speaker 2: you go to my house. I would get enjoyment of
- 29:01Speaker 2: you holding my child.
- 29:03Speaker 1: You know it's you, Yeah, thank you, it's it's it's
- 29:05Speaker 1: someone if it's someone I'm not as close to or
- 29:08Speaker 1: don't even know, Like the last thing I want to
- 29:10Speaker 1: do is touch your baby.
- 29:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm more inclined to touch your dog.
- 29:13Speaker 2: You do, like I'm inclined to touch your penis. I'm
- 29:16Speaker 2: more inclined to turn to pat your dog. I think
- 29:18Speaker 2: does it stem from that people like like a pat
- 29:20Speaker 2: of dog, I'm a pat your baby. I don't know.
- 29:22Speaker 4: Maybe, I mean, I definitely get the urge to touch
- 29:24Speaker 4: people's babies, but I put my hands problem hands behind
- 29:28Speaker 4: my back, So then it's like it's a little assigned
- 29:30Speaker 4: to hey, like, don't get tempted.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wow, you got a problem. You've got to
- 29:34Speaker 2: physically stop yourself from touching.
- 29:36Speaker 3: You've got to physically stop yourself from touching babies.
- 29:39Speaker 2: That sounds she travels with handcuffs and she's like, damn,
- 29:41Speaker 2: put them on. She's drooling.
- 29:46Speaker 4: It's like a physical cue I give to my brain
- 29:48Speaker 4: to like not touch because I really want to, and like,
- 29:51Speaker 4: if my hands are here, I'm just gonna want.
- 29:53Speaker 2: To go like you just love kids. I love babies.
- 29:55Speaker 2: I photograph babies like job, part of your job. I
- 29:58Speaker 2: feel like paying you to take the photos.
- 30:01Speaker 1: There's probably a good chance you're going to touch their baby.
- 30:03Speaker 4: That's probably why I settle the baby for them. So
- 30:05Speaker 4: that's why I love holding babies.
- 30:08Speaker 2: You get a kick out of the settling. I just
- 30:10Speaker 2: love it. I don't hate.
- 30:11Speaker 3: That's the worst part.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Like not to sound weird, this is going to everyone
- 30:15Speaker 2: before this is I would never do this to a
- 30:18Speaker 2: child who I didn't know the parents. Why are you
- 30:22Speaker 2: winking at me?
- 30:23Speaker 4: But there is like.
- 30:26Speaker 2: It's like the dog thing, you know, if they're like,
- 30:28Speaker 2: oh gosh, the dog normally barks and it hates men,
- 30:30Speaker 2: but it's loving you. It's like the child if you can, like,
- 30:33Speaker 2: if a child enjoys your being in your arms or
- 30:35Speaker 2: you're up to sue that child, you feel like a god.
- 30:39Speaker 2: True it needs to be of someone close to me,
- 30:42Speaker 2: of course. Yeah. Like no, someone's like, oh, they got
- 30:45Speaker 2: a baby, I'm like cool. I think it's the I
- 30:47Speaker 2: know we have a lot of boomers who listen and
- 30:49Speaker 2: they don't like it when I come for them. So
- 30:51Speaker 2: this is not attacking all boomers, but I do think
- 30:53Speaker 2: it is an older person thing.
- 30:56Speaker 3: Is how many men are doing this.
- 30:58Speaker 2: It's a grandma thing, the grand grand marketing.
- 31:01Speaker 4: But it's the grandpas that are making comments that they
- 31:04Speaker 4: shouldn't go on. So when I had Lily, I got
- 31:08Speaker 4: told by Grandpa, oh, you should have ear rings in
- 31:10Speaker 4: her ears or dress her in pink so that we
- 31:12Speaker 4: can tell she's a girl.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Wow. I was sorry.
- 31:16Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was my responsibility to make you
- 31:18Speaker 4: feel good about you said that.
- 31:20Speaker 2: No. I had the argument again in the shower later
- 31:27Speaker 2: on that night, and I won.
- 31:31Speaker 8: When you replay like, oh god if I had so
- 31:37Speaker 8: true in the moment, you're like, oh, I'll get them
- 31:41Speaker 8: piers tomorrow.
- 31:43Speaker 4: Because again that he doesn't mean any bad will buy it.
- 31:47Speaker 1: But I was just like, fuck, I know, I know
- 31:50Speaker 1: we should on the boomers, but it's warranted.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Once again a message out there to the whole, to
- 31:56Speaker 2: the world. Every few months, we've got to put this message.
- 31:58Speaker 2: We have to if we don't do what no one
- 32:00Speaker 2: else will. The government's not going and touching other people's kids.
- 32:04Speaker 2: You stop it right now. Stop it now. Unless you
- 32:08Speaker 2: know the mum and dad not touching, you're making us
- 32:10Speaker 2: all look bad. We all get grouped into human being humans.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Touch a dog, Touch a dog. Find a dog. If
- 32:16Speaker 2: you feel the urge and you can't put your hands
- 32:17Speaker 2: behind your back, like VIC, find a dog, touch it.
- 32:20Speaker 2: If you start sniffing the dog, you've gone too far. Yes,
- 32:24Speaker 2: good question. Next one. Okay, this one is from Harrison.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Could be the same Harrison that I was on I'm
- 32:30Speaker 2: a celebrity with sure, He says, Hi, guys, I'm a
- 32:33Speaker 2: first time listener. First time listener. Flag it next. Next,
- 32:37Speaker 2: give us some decent first time listener and a dad
- 32:39Speaker 2: with a two year old son, and he's genuinely my world.
- 32:43Speaker 2: That's cute, that's nice. I wanted to get some advice
- 32:45Speaker 2: around the idea of needing to let go of my
- 32:47Speaker 2: former self and how my friends view me and my
- 32:51Speaker 2: life now as a dad. The context in my friend group,
- 32:54Speaker 2: I am the only dad, and while the rest of
- 32:56Speaker 2: the group is still going out and doing things my
- 32:59Speaker 2: pre dad life would have entertained. I'm struggling to fit
- 33:02Speaker 2: in with them more so now, and I struggle to
- 33:04Speaker 2: communicate with them that my life and priorities have shifted
- 33:07Speaker 2: to be towards my son. I know it sounds obvious,
- 33:10Speaker 2: but I feel as though they are not understanding this
- 33:12Speaker 2: idea that I've needed to let go of my former
- 33:15Speaker 2: self and becoming a dad. I feel nervous about bringing
- 33:18Speaker 2: this up with any of them, as I don't know
- 33:19Speaker 2: how they would react. And although there are other dads
- 33:22Speaker 2: in my life through things like daycare, we don't have
- 33:24Speaker 2: a strong enough relationship to get deep into how we're
- 33:27Speaker 2: going mentally. It's more like conversational topics.
- 33:30Speaker 1: It's tough because it would be we spoke about isolation,
- 33:33Speaker 1: and then the fact is that you're the only one
- 33:36Speaker 1: in your's call them the og friend group because they
- 33:39Speaker 1: would have been before kids, obviously, and now he's got kids,
- 33:42Speaker 1: they're obviously got different interests, so they're still your friends.
- 33:47Speaker 1: But maybe maybe you just work on those relationships that
- 33:51Speaker 1: you're working on with the daycare dads to get to
- 33:53Speaker 1: the point where you feel comfortable. And then it's always
- 33:56Speaker 1: nice to have especially if they're no kid, they're not
- 33:58Speaker 1: gonna be talking about kids, so it could be nice
- 34:00Speaker 1: and refreshing to have two different friend groups. And also
- 34:04Speaker 1: if you're meeting you people and building those relationships, you
- 34:08Speaker 1: could find your best friend.
- 34:09Speaker 2: It's funny with the relationships that you get from daycare
- 34:12Speaker 2: and also from school. It's easy for those to stay
- 34:16Speaker 2: really surface level because a lot of the interactions it's
- 34:19Speaker 2: just quick, yeah, drop off, pick up, your five ten
- 34:22Speaker 2: minute chat. Maybe you go for like a coffee or
- 34:24Speaker 2: ice cream. Maybe you go for ice cream with another man.
- 34:27Speaker 2: No on Fridays when do pick up. Let's normalize that
- 34:30Speaker 2: actually for you absolutely, because there's in Bondi there's like
- 34:33Speaker 2: a thousand frozen yogurt and ice cream shops, so it
- 34:37Speaker 2: is very nice. Some shit cafe in an Ida, So
- 34:40Speaker 2: after school a lot of the kids walk getting ice
- 34:43Speaker 2: cream and you have like a quick like what are
- 34:44Speaker 2: you going on for the weekend? Blah blah blah blah
- 34:46Speaker 2: quick chat. It is so confronting. I think to be like, yeah, man,
- 34:50Speaker 2: I'm really not doing too well. I'm not flying life
- 34:53Speaker 2: pretty tough. I don't want to burden anyone with that conversation.
- 34:56Speaker 2: It's really hard. But like you said, I don't think
- 34:58Speaker 2: with his existing friends, I don't think he needs to
- 35:01Speaker 2: raise it is like, oh does he raise it?
- 35:03Speaker 1: No, they serve a different purpose because it's not their fault,
- 35:05Speaker 1: like they just have different interest.
- 35:07Speaker 2: It's sort of like, don't you feel can I just
- 35:10Speaker 2: be ondering, yeah, don't you think that, rather than kind
- 35:13Speaker 2: of thinking, oh, right, they're not interested, I'm just going
- 35:15Speaker 2: to phase him out. Should he not say like, hey, guys,
- 35:18Speaker 2: sometimes I feel like you're not as understanding of my
- 35:21Speaker 2: situation given that I'm the only one with the child
- 35:24Speaker 2: and you guys aren't because they might not even be
- 35:26Speaker 2: aware that they're doing it.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I would say that friendship that friendship groups for a
- 35:30Speaker 1: different purpose. You might get other things from that outside
- 35:33Speaker 1: of the conversation. But you made a good point with
- 35:37Speaker 1: the walking to go get ice cream. That's probably a
- 35:39Speaker 1: good opportunity to start to have those conversations because you're.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Walking side by side with his existing friends. If he's
- 35:45Speaker 2: unhappy about something.
- 35:47Speaker 1: It depends what they've done, if they haven't done anything.
- 35:49Speaker 1: If they're just not having conversations about that, then that's
- 35:51Speaker 1: it's hard to say that.
- 35:52Speaker 2: But if they're like, hey, let's go play golf for
- 35:54Speaker 2: six hours and then get pissed, and that's like, oh,
- 35:57Speaker 2: definitely have that conversation, and then he should be like, hey, guys,
- 36:00Speaker 2: you know we're like, I'm kind of struggling because I'm
- 36:02Speaker 2: on the outer because I'm the only one's dad. Like,
- 36:04Speaker 2: I know, it's so easy for us to sit here
- 36:06Speaker 2: and be like, just have the conversation, because fuck having
- 36:08Speaker 2: those confrontational chats. But he should probably raise it, not
- 36:11Speaker 2: in a way of like you guys don't want to
- 36:13Speaker 2: hang out with me, anyea, why do you guys hate me? Yeah,
- 36:16Speaker 2: you're right.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Actually make a good point about the activities. That's probably
- 36:19Speaker 1: where you could find an in to have that conversation
- 36:21Speaker 1: because it'd be like, hey, we're going to go play
- 36:23Speaker 1: golf on Saturdays, Like, guys, I want to play golf
- 36:24Speaker 1: with you so fucking bad, but unfortunately I can't take
- 36:28Speaker 1: six hours.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Is there anything else we can do?
- 36:30Speaker 1: So I think it's a good angle without it being
- 36:33Speaker 1: like no one cares about me.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Because you don't want it.
- 36:35Speaker 1: You want to be able to have a transparent conversation,
- 36:37Speaker 1: but at the same time, you don't want to come
- 36:39Speaker 1: across as like me me me me me me me Mehan,
- 36:41Speaker 1: you're the one who's just decided to become a parent,
- 36:43Speaker 1: and depending on how people take that, But I.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Say this, and there have been so many times where
- 36:49Speaker 2: I've not taken my own advice and I've just been
- 36:51Speaker 2: in a situation where I've got the kids. I've had
- 36:54Speaker 2: friends that have come to Sydney either from overseas at
- 36:57Speaker 2: interstate for a little trip, and everything that they've suggested
- 37:01Speaker 2: has got no involved with the kids. And I'm like,
- 37:04Speaker 2: don't you want to see you never met my kids yet?
- 37:06Speaker 2: Do you not want to meet my kids? And instead
- 37:09Speaker 2: of me being like, hey, can we just have a
- 37:11Speaker 2: little chance or you can like we can all hang
- 37:13Speaker 2: out together and you can meet the kids, I've kind
- 37:15Speaker 2: of been like, no, fuck it, you go to the
- 37:17Speaker 2: pub and I just won't see it's tricky, which I know.
- 37:20Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm just I know how hard it
- 37:23Speaker 2: is to have these conversations as well.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Like that situation they've come to Sydney there, I've got
- 37:26Speaker 1: that little trip excitement too, right, and it's like, well,
- 37:29Speaker 1: we don't want to do things with kids. It's like
- 37:32Speaker 1: you don't want to be like, can we just do
- 37:33Speaker 1: something that's going to suit me because then they might
- 37:35Speaker 1: think what about you? It's a tricky conversation. I think,
- 37:39Speaker 1: don't just let the relationship fade.
- 37:41Speaker 2: I don't think it's time to move on. I think
- 37:43Speaker 2: it's time to gain some friends for other purposes. And
- 37:46Speaker 2: I do want to give a shout out to I
- 37:48Speaker 2: didn't know this. I don't know if you know this, Sash,
- 37:51Speaker 2: but there is playgroups New South Wales. I didn't know. No,
- 37:55Speaker 2: this was that thing they need to rebrand, that they
- 37:57Speaker 2: need to like get them. I mean, they don't have
- 37:59Speaker 2: a shitload of money to play with here. It's all
- 38:01Speaker 2: run by volunteers. But if you go to playgroups in
- 38:03Speaker 2: New South Wales dot com dot U, I think, yeah, yeah.
- 38:07Speaker 4: Playgroupswells dot org.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Okay, do you any register? It's a very good question.
- 38:12Speaker 2: I'm glad you asked. If you actually if you just
- 38:13Speaker 2: Google playgroups and your state, you can you get on
- 38:16Speaker 2: this website and you can find playgroups that you can
- 38:18Speaker 2: be a part of with your child. And the ones
- 38:21Speaker 2: in Bondai, for example, they have Monday and Fridays and
- 38:25Speaker 2: I think it's like four bucks and they organize all
- 38:28Speaker 2: the materials and things that your kids can play with,
- 38:30Speaker 2: and you meet other parents. There's more dads that are
- 38:32Speaker 2: joining them now and annoyingly right now, Poppy is just
- 38:36Speaker 2: a little bit too young because it's nine to eleven
- 38:40Speaker 2: is the main time on a Friday, And I was like,
- 38:41Speaker 2: fucking great. Then I go oh, that's nap time, so
- 38:44Speaker 2: I can't go. But as soon as she has that
- 38:45Speaker 2: middle nap and I can go in the mornings. It's
- 38:47Speaker 2: four bucks. You can meet other parents and you can
- 38:50Speaker 2: then build on those relationships to gain new friends. What
- 38:53Speaker 2: things do they do? So the one in BONDI they
- 38:56Speaker 2: do one there's a big park and they do like
- 38:59Speaker 2: build potions. They have these outdoor kitchen sets that you bring.
- 39:02Speaker 2: So it's all like playing with nature, playing with marred sensories,
- 39:06Speaker 2: really sensory stuff.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Yeah, so I remember April went to a few of
- 39:09Speaker 3: those early doors.
- 39:10Speaker 2: I had no idea, but I reckon the hardest window
- 39:13Speaker 2: for a parent is from when they're a newborn to
- 39:16Speaker 2: when they're about like two or three.
- 39:18Speaker 1: I start dropping them off from meeting other parents unless
- 39:20Speaker 1: you're actually actively going out. And I know for me,
- 39:23Speaker 1: without April, for example, I would have just isolated.
- 39:26Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 39:27Speaker 1: I just think because we would go. It's just it's
- 39:29Speaker 1: just easier and like, especially in those times, because it's
- 39:32Speaker 1: so groundhole right though, because you never know. Every day
- 39:35Speaker 1: is different. You try and stick to a routine you
- 39:37Speaker 1: want to try and that so much so that all
- 39:40Speaker 1: that sort of stuff goes to the wayside. So it's like,
- 39:42Speaker 1: don't ditch you mates. But then if you want to
- 39:44Speaker 1: find other people in similar situations, look at something like that.
- 39:47Speaker 2: But then what's going to happen when they have kids?
- 39:49Speaker 1: And Matt, I've got a dilemma for you that I've
- 39:55Speaker 1: seen online today actually, which is Aussie mum sparks debate
- 40:00Speaker 1: after flying business class with one year old son.
- 40:03Speaker 2: So we just flew into.
- 40:04Speaker 7: Singapore this morning and I wanted to let you know
- 40:07Speaker 7: about an incident we had on the plane where Freddie
- 40:11Speaker 7: was a little bit unsettled and crying a bit, and
- 40:14Speaker 7: this lady took it upon herself to scream across the
- 40:18Speaker 7: cabin at the top of her lungs.
- 40:19Speaker 5: Shut up.
- 40:21Speaker 7: Now, that same lady stood up and stared me down,
- 40:24Speaker 7: and I said, is everything okay? And she said, no,
- 40:27Speaker 7: your baby has been crying and I'm in business class.
- 40:31Speaker 7: And I said to this lady, well, you obviously haven't
- 40:34Speaker 7: had kids, otherwise you would understand what it's like to
- 40:37Speaker 7: have a child.
- 40:38Speaker 1: All right, what's your take on that? Who do you
- 40:40Speaker 1: think is in the wrong here? Should babies be allowed
- 40:43Speaker 1: on business class flights? I mean, there are children in
- 40:46Speaker 1: economy class and they're allowed to be in business class
- 40:49Speaker 1: according to the airline or whatever it might be. But
- 40:52Speaker 1: do you think the person has a right to stand
- 40:55Speaker 1: up and say shut your baby up?
- 40:56Speaker 7: Yes?
- 40:57Speaker 2: Really no, so far to argue with you on that.
- 41:02Speaker 2: I mean, do you know what, like it would be disappointing.
- 41:05Speaker 2: We can all admit if you've forked out the money
- 41:08Speaker 2: and you've paid for a business class fly thousands of
- 41:11Speaker 2: dollars and you're like, I'm going to enjoy this and
- 41:14Speaker 2: you look over and there's a screaming baby, that would suck. Okay,
- 41:19Speaker 2: there's no way of sugarcoating that situation. It's a bit shit. Yeah,
- 41:22Speaker 2: but it's also one of those things you keep to yourself. Absolutely.
- 41:26Speaker 2: I say that and say that frustration is one hundred
- 41:31Speaker 2: percent internalized.
- 41:32Speaker 1: You can only control what you can control. You can't
- 41:35Speaker 1: we're all out here living in the community. You can't
- 41:37Speaker 1: control who and who isn't going to be on a fly.
- 41:39Speaker 1: There could have just been a really loud coffer on
- 41:41Speaker 1: the plane, or a snorer.
- 41:43Speaker 2: It could be yeah, a fucking annoying, is it? When
- 41:46Speaker 2: someone's snoring on the plane, you're like, shut up.
- 41:50Speaker 4: I mean, I had a poor kid behind me on
- 41:52Speaker 4: the way home from Vietnam who couldn't stop throwing up,
- 41:54Speaker 4: like a baby can't stop crying just as much as
- 41:57Speaker 4: someone can't stop throwing up.
- 41:58Speaker 1: It really goes to show how out of touch some
- 42:02Speaker 1: well off people are. The fact that you are willing
- 42:04Speaker 1: to stand up in a bit, you're making more distraction
- 42:07Speaker 1: than the fucking baby. You idiot like you want to
- 42:09Speaker 1: get up and cause a scene about a baby crying
- 42:12Speaker 1: that cannot control that and a mum trying to do
- 42:15Speaker 1: their absolute best to keep them at bay, and your
- 42:19Speaker 1: mature way of dealing with it is to stand up
- 42:22Speaker 1: and throw your toys out of the cot, You fucking idiot.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Hold a baby, I'll settle it.
- 42:30Speaker 1: Like sitting on her hands, I would say, fucking baby
- 42:35Speaker 1: recognizes baby you baby I have this is.
- 42:38Speaker 2: I know what you're going to say, Ash, But I
- 42:40Speaker 2: once was a business class flight.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Once, just the one time, always at the time you
- 42:48Speaker 1: were going to go on a business class and leave
- 42:49Speaker 1: me behind.
- 42:50Speaker 2: That never happened to threaten you.
- 42:53Speaker 4: But didn't save Laura behind one.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Oh my Laura to me, I remember going on a
- 43:00Speaker 2: we were going We're doing a job in Europe many
- 43:03Speaker 2: years ago when Marley was three months old, and as
- 43:06Speaker 2: part of that job, we will find business class very lucky.
- 43:09Speaker 2: So we had a three month old Marley and as
- 43:12Speaker 2: we were boarding the plane and Laura and I were
- 43:14Speaker 2: kind of like, oh, do you want to have it
- 43:15Speaker 2: for the first takeoff or not? Because if anyone who
- 43:18Speaker 2: is unfamiliar, if they're under the age of two, they
- 43:19Speaker 2: sit on your lap. And there was another woman who
- 43:25Speaker 2: rolled her eyes, being like at the side of a
- 43:28Speaker 2: newborn child, and I was also like, Marley's fucking great,
- 43:31Speaker 2: thank you very much, She's a great baby. But the
- 43:40Speaker 2: last thing any parent needs in a world where life
- 43:44Speaker 2: is just hard enough dealing with a newborn child to
- 43:47Speaker 2: then cop more criticism and pressure from another person who's
- 43:51Speaker 2: fucking childless childish, must be nice, Like that's not going
- 43:56Speaker 2: to help anyone, not anywhere. And I think vic I
- 44:00Speaker 2: wouldn't do it, but like, you know, if there was
- 44:02Speaker 2: a parent who was absolutely at their wits end with
- 44:04Speaker 2: a screaming baby and like, hey, you know I can
- 44:06Speaker 2: hold it. I'm a stranger, gives your baby.
- 44:09Speaker 6: I'm just going to my advice. Unless you're on a
- 44:15Speaker 6: plane national law, no one could prosecute you up there. No,
- 44:22Speaker 6: that's terrible advice, man.
- 44:24Speaker 1: I think those people are so unaware of fucking headphones
- 44:28Speaker 1: on and watch a movie.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Pull your head order of bloody. If I was working
- 44:32Speaker 2: on that airplane, I saw that I would kick.
- 44:34Speaker 1: That lady out of business path one without the baby, like,
- 44:37Speaker 1: guess what, we have an economy seat with your name
- 44:39Speaker 1: on it.
- 44:40Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry. Saying shut up to someone is so rude,
- 44:44Speaker 4: like no matter, like that's lessons a loved one.
- 44:48Speaker 2: But you can't just say. You can't just cancer shut
- 44:50Speaker 2: up out. I love to tell my kids to shut up.
- 44:53Speaker 2: It's endearing parents.
- 44:54Speaker 4: Like you guys know, getting on a flight with a
- 44:56Speaker 4: child is one of the most stress inducing you ever
- 45:00Speaker 4: have with the child. Then to have the compounded stress
- 45:02Speaker 4: coming from someone else on the other side, you take
- 45:05Speaker 4: compound like no parent needs that, Like that is so
- 45:08Speaker 4: the wrong way to go about it. I was on
- 45:10Speaker 4: a flight with Lily when she was a baby, and
- 45:13Speaker 4: I had her in the bassinette. I had the sleep
- 45:15Speaker 4: sounds going, and the air hostess had to come and say, hey,
- 45:18Speaker 4: can you turn your sleep sounds down because people in
- 45:21Speaker 4: the back are complaining about it?
- 45:22Speaker 2: And I said, okay, Well, I think it reverb?
- 45:25Speaker 1: Can you turn your sleep music down? The engines against jealous?
- 45:28Speaker 2: What was what was your go toro? The engines are jealous?
- 45:32Speaker 4: The ocean mixed with rain.
- 45:33Speaker 2: Oh that's so hard to hear, right, I put.
- 45:37Speaker 4: Your headphones on, I said to her, Okay, well that's fine,
- 45:39Speaker 4: I can turn it down. But if the baby wakes up,
- 45:41Speaker 4: she's going to start crying. So what would they prefer?
- 45:44Speaker 4: Sounds or crying baby? Yeah?
- 45:46Speaker 2: Look, I'm so sorry, said at that time. These calming
- 45:50Speaker 2: noises are really irritating. Yeah, so I think the answer
- 45:55Speaker 2: is babies should be I mean, this is coming from parents.
- 45:58Speaker 2: Baby should be a lot of business class flights in fact,
- 46:00Speaker 2: as long as that. Well, but it should be discounted. Yeah,
- 46:03Speaker 2: actually yeah, they're already free. Free. The parents should get
- 46:07Speaker 2: it free as well. Ash, my good friend, we will
