• 4:32

• 4:34
  Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't be surprised. There's a lot of like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: for your notes on this. Before we go on, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: just have to say that if you want to get
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: your hands on this beer the Hinterland Big Pale Al,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: head down to Dan Murphy's a bws around the country
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: or jump on their website Stonewood dot com dot au
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and get it delivered to your door.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Laura burn, I would like to know your honest opinions
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: on the cat.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Ah, she fucking sucks.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You hate it, don't you? I see you look our
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: cat with such disdain. And to be fair, she's a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: real She's a real like bus shelter cat. So she
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for anyone who's not aware, I don't know how much
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the story you've told. We got her through a rescue.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: She came from a literal bus shelter and she has
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: like real scrappy vibes, like she kind of looks at
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: us sometimes and she's like, why the fuck did you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: take me from my home? I liked being in the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: bus shelter. This place is too cushy. She tries to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: shred like the kids. Every time the kids walk past,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: she tries to scratch them.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Every single time Lola walks past her. I thought it
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: would be yeah, literally like swiping out it with her
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: like claws hanging out.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: She does the same to Nana, and Nana can't run
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: very fast.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Nana fucking hates that cat.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I know she does.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You do too, No, No, only because Laura, we have
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to hang with the cat at home and you're not around,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and all the cat does is like it just fucking
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: scratches everything, and it just like shits and pisses all day.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And then if you leave any food on the kitchen bench,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: like doesn't matter how many times you've been like, ah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: don't get up there, it will just fucking take it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It does. It does do all of those things. But
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: she's cute too, and she does like a little head scratch.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Does she though not really does she.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: She's very wild. I think she's quite close to being
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like a leopard or something.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, every time we go outside for any reasons,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: scared she is like she is like a prisoner who's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: been in isolation. Its whole entire life, and it's just
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: gagging to go outside.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I think Raspberry hates living with us as well. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: don't think no one's enjoying the situation at all. Oh,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we give her a good home. I really try. I'm sorry.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Are you happy though I do love her? Yeah? I'm happy?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Hand on herd?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Do you?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I wish she was nicer to me, but yes, I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: do like it. I just wanted to want to cuddle me,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but she doesn't want to.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: How does she compare to your other cat? What was
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: its name? Ninja?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Ninja? Look for anyone who's who doesn't know my Instagram handle,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Lady in a Cat, Go throw your follow Lady in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: a Cat?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Well, hang on a seconds.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The reason why it's Lady in a Cat is because
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: once upon a time, when Matt and I first met,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I had a cat and his name was Ninja, And
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I would always say that Ninja was quite like a dog,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: like he would do things that Buster would do. Because
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: they were best friends. I'd hang out together. I'd take
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Buster for a walk, Ninja would come with us. We'd
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: all go for a walk around the park together. He
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: would sleep in my bed at night time. He was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: super cuddly. And every time I describe Ninja to Matt,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Matt's like, well, you don't like cats, you like dogs.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: You just want another dog.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: No, I think that's why I had. I had Ninja
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for Muster, been like a couple of months. Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You didn't like him either, though, but he was beautiful.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Did I not like Ninja?
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I think Raspberry will improve. She's still a kitten. She
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: needs some time. She's got that real bush shelter vibe
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: about us. She's just got to get out of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: scrappiness and in it. You know, a year's time, she's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: going to be living here in Bonday in a lap
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of luxury.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Like she just wants to be out there working the streets.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: She does, she does. I don't know if that's a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: good reference. Doesn't suit this lifestyle.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you. All my brain was doing then
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: was figuring out whether what you were saying was going
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to get me canceled.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I fucked the cat. It was once.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I regretted, Okay, well, look ashes away, I am filling in.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It is a one show only I would.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Like to maybe two.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You haven't told me that maybe too.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: We're not sure. I forget when Ash comes back.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I would like to point out that, because I, you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: podcasts for a living, I came to this prepared. I'm recording.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Am I recording?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm recording.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: If that if my camera angler is not good, I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: don't want to sound like a DV here.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's your face. I can't change the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: way you look.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So I came to this recording today with several points.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: The camera's good, you're good, Okay. I've written down raspberry, Matt,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: peas in the pool period, nappy Lola, falling asleep on helicopter,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: penis slap, crying, penis slap, bribing Lola, and I would
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: like to point out that you have prepared nothing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: That's how we roll, baby.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Well, it's good to see someone's doing the heavy lifting here.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: That's how we rob. Because Laura, I just I wanted
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to give you the opportunity to show everyone on two
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: doting dads how funny you are. This is about you,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: not about me.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It's because you did no preparation. But it's all right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: At least we've got someone here to steer the ship.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: As you guys. Know, we have just gotten back from
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a cruise, and I've learned a valuable lesson over the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: last couple of days because I have been loudly and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: proudly telling everyone that I am now a cruiser. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: am a cruiser. I love to cruise. I am a cruiser.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: You've been ridden by the cruise bug. Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I also found out today that's saying that you like
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to cruise means that you like to solicit sex. You
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: cruise for sex. It's a like a It's like a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: term that used to be used for people who like
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: hide out in parks. And when I have sex with people,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it's not look at us like Mitch told you that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: didn't know it's true. I googled it today. I said
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it to my boss last night, who works in radio.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, I am cruiser. And kiir On, who
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: runs aarn, was like, you need to stop saying that
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to people.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Gay slang term. Yeah, in the sixties people would cruise
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to arrange. Okay, I think it's fine. Okay, well, cruise
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: loud and proud you're a cruiser. We are cruisers, and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: we were both very guilty of turning our noses up
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: for people who would take cruises. I would look at
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: those people as the type of people who would have
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: fake plants in their house.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I honestly remember saying I would rather eat my own
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: shit than go on a cruise. And so I said that,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and Matt, you went on the last Pinot cruise, you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: took Nano, you took the kids, and I preference going
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to work overgoing on that cruise, Like I could have
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: moved work around, but I was like, we don't want
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to go on the.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: C You didn't want to go. I was so annoyed
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: and you couldn't come in that cruise.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, Nah, not for me. Cruising is not
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: for me. But this time, so this trip, my mum's
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: had a really, really tough year and she really wanted
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to go on this cruise as well. And so it
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: turned into Matt organizing it. Ellie was going, my mum
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to go. Matt invited his sister. My sister then came.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: My brother flew in from the United States. He came
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: as well, and there was fifteen of us, and seven
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: of those were children.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: And that, to me, on paper, would be an absolute
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: disaster for me. Anything that requires like multiple groups, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: could do two groups awful, maybe three, but we had
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: fifteen people. Fifteen people in the group.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I honestly thought we would be tolerating this trip. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: was like, cool, We're going to go on a family cruise.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: It's going to be awful. We will tolerate it, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: everyone's going to come home exhausted. We got there on
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the first day, and I want to say this, I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: know that you guys have been working with p and O,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I personally have not been working with p ANDO. I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: did not care at all about the whole situation. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: had so much fun on that first day. Everything was
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: so seamless. It was so easy that I was like, oh,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is this the point where I sit here and eat
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: my own shit?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Like? Do I do it at dinner time? Do I
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: do it for disa dinner? I had so much fun,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and I think it was for me.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It was the lack of the logistical planning, because when
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you go on a big family holiday, the thing that's
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the most annoying thing is the fact that you have
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to organize the taxi to get to dinner or you guys,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you all get to the beach and then it's windy
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and the kids are having a shit time and you
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: got to figure out like a solution when we.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Were on the cruise. It's the transitioning as well, of
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: like you got to get the kids ready, They've got
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to book the taxi, got to wait for the taxi,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the taxis late, all of a sudden, you're too close
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: to dinner time, so you're not even at the restaurant.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: The kids are already hungry and there getting upset. So
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: all of that is just it's just a nightmare totally.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: So it's all that logistic. It's the mental admin that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: makes holidaying and big groups really annoying. And so going
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: on this cruise where everything was contained, like there was
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: this one day where the weather wasn't great and we'd
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: plan to take the kids to the pool, and we
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: got to the pool and everyone was cold and everyone
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: was complaining, and we were like, oh fuck, what are
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: we going to do now? And then we all looked
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: at the itinery and somewhere on the boat there was karaoke,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, at two o'clock in the afternoon,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the kids are there doing karaoke. So, yeah, I am
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a born again cruiser.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: It's fucking great.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: You'll find me in your gay park. I will be there.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I loved it. People have been coming up to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: me being like, was it actually that good? It's like
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a cult.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's a cult.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, just come and try it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Just have one day, one session, that's all you need,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and then you'll be converted. It's the most fucking life
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: changing experience other than like becoming a father I've ever experienced.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I know you guys talk about like parenting side
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of things, So I mean, this was something that happened
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: whilst we were away, and I wanted to bring it
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: up with you because I have realized I do something
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: as a mum which is probably not I mean, I've
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: fallen into the habit of doing it, but I'm not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: particularly proud of it. I guess I would say I've
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: fallen into the habit of bribing our children. Okay, if
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I want them to do something, I'd be like, you
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: can't have that unless you do this. We can't have
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that unless you finish this.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Also, not to attack you here, Oh god, Laura. Something
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: else you do is you make big threats. Yeah, big threats.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: They always say that ever make a threat to your children,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that you can't follow.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Through on they're not that. Give me an example, You're like,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I will kill.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Your father unless you finish your chicken nuggets.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You can't. And I'm like, Laura, you can't say that.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: You make big threats. I can't think of the exact
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: ones that you make. But you're the type of.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Say, we're getting off the boat. We're in the middle
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of the ice.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We're like, we're in the Pacific right now, cannot
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: see land. And Laura's like, we will get off the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: boat right now unless you come here and put your
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: shoes on.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I haven't quite mastered the art of like,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: what isn't it? What is an appropriate threat? So we
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: were at dinner this one night and Lola wasn't eating
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and she was being absolute pain on the ass. Like
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I like Lola and I we we can vibe down.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like normally I can. I feel like normally
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I'm a pretty good communicator with Lola, and I can
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: get her to do things that you, for example, can't
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: do because she likes me more.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Just I love how sensitively you approach that one.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: She fucking does not like you because I'm her favorite parents,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: she said. She even said on the cruise, matt was like,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Lola doesn't like me, and she goes, Daddy, I love you,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and you go, well, can I have huger? She goes,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: oh no, she's Do.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: You think okay? Do you think there's any correlation? Just
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: really quick, throw this out and get your thoughts before
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you continue your story. Do you think there's any correlation
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: in the fact that you and Lola look like each
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: other and me and Marley look like each other, that
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: we're kind of like because we're so similar, that's why
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: we get along so well. Because you know, me and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Marley are pretty tight, you and Lola pretty tight. Is
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: there a connection there? Or is it just coincidence?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Do you think it is mildly narcissistic that we named
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: our child Marley Matti and Lola and Laura, but it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Mattie j Marley May.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fucking weird.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: We did parents, We didn't plan it. It just happened.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And then someone pointed it out when Lola was like
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: six months and I was like, well, it's too far
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to go, Like, it's gone too far?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: What have we done? Who? What have we done? I's
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: any connection there? No, I don't think that Lola likes
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: me because she thinks I look like her.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I think that's a weird No, you look.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Like each other, but just because you guys are like
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you were just cut from the same cloth, Like you're
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: obviously the same DNA, but you're just like you know how,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you have like a bit of a weird rib cage.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's a condition we have, pectus excavatam. I think it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: called you know, I once dated a guy, right so,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: he was a cardio thoracic surgeon, and the first time
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I took my shirt off, he went, you know, you
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: can fix that. That's what he said to me.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Are you prick crushed? Could you fix it? Though?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get an operation. Let's do it for
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: anyone who is so confused by what we're talking about.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I have a hole in my chest, like my my
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: rib cage goes right in. It makes my boobs look
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a lot bigger than they are. But when I'm laying down,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I just kind of look a bit deformed.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Lola has it a little bit as well.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think that that's why we connect, man, cause
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you guys have the same ribcage. Yeah. Anyway, let's move
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: on to the story at dinner. This one night, Lola
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: was being a little bit hard to manage, and I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: have been using bribery increasingly. I've noticed, like I've clocked it. Okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not proud of it. Anyway, she wouldn't eat her dinner,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and I said to her, I was like, Lola, you
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: gonna eat eat your pizza, or we're going back to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the room and there will be no donuts.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: So she this.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'd said this a few times, right,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: So then I had to follow through because she and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I know Lola, like if she's wants something, she's stubborn
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as hell. But the second I pick her up and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I look as though I'm going to follow through with
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the action, she goes, no, no, no, I'll eat it.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I'll eat it. So she wouldn't eat a dinner, and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's it, Lola, no dessert for you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: We're going back to our room.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: So pick her up and we get to the front
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: door and she has a full meltdown in the doorway
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of the restaurant, like like a puddle of humans, kicking
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and screaming and everything else. And then I picked her
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: up and I was like, no, Lola, there is no
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: dessert tonight, we're going back to the room, and she goes, Okay, Mommy.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I am very very, very very very tired. I am
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: very tired.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And I was like, fuck, I really.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Wanted to decern. I didn't want to go home.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: To the room.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So I was like, we're going back to the table
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: when you're going to eat.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: It's so fucking annoying when the bribe doesn't work.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: It didn't work, and then I realized that she's clocked it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: She knows I'm not going to carry through with it anymore.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So the bribery no longer works.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You have ruined our children.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I got broken by a three year old.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: It was only a matter of time.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: It was she's genius. Though she's a smart kid.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I think she was just so utterly exhausted though I
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: don't think she knew exactly what she was doing.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: No shame though, I will stop bribing that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Did you give a donuts in the end?
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: She had a donut. I ate them too, had a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: great time.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I go back to your list, Laura, there was an
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: item on there that it was a total accident, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: accident not because of it happening. I knew it was happening.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Spit it out. There's an accident that you found out
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: about it. I was peeing in the pool and the okay,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: in my defense, in my defense, the toilets were very
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: far away, inconveniently far away, inconvenient right, And it was
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: also a little bit windy as well, so I didn't
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: want to get out of the pool draw myself off
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: because you can't like walk stopping wet through you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the corridors of the ship. So I was like, I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: just going to do a quick little we wi.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I think just call it a wee wee, quick little
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: we wei. I think I just discovered a new dick
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and that there is nothing attractive about a thirty seven
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: year old man describing going to the toilet as doing
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a we.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: We Well, that's unfortunate for you, wow, because fucking married
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to me and daddy has to we week.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Daddy's got a we wi. Okay, we're all in a pool.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: It's a small pool. It is a pool where the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: kids are playing we're playing wall. It was a small
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: It was the smallest pool on the boat.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: So it was like imagine, imagine it was at least
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: fifteen meters. It's a small pool twenty five meters. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: swim over to Matt to give him a loving embrace,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: and I was like, fuck fuk fik fike frank fuk
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: fake five funk because I had just started to wee
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and I look over and You're like a coming for me,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: and you just had this look in your eye where
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: you were like I want to cuddle. You're like you're
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: like having a moment where you were like, this is great.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I want to now embrace my husband and just have
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: like a little beautiful moment between us.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: And I did embrace you, and I had pissed, like Matt.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Streaming out my jab sigh. Sorry, I apologize, Are you okay?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I was just like weeing profusely, so I wrapped my
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: arms around that. And I also he's kind of like
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: sitting squatting, and I tried to sit in his lap,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: which in that moment is when I realized that I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: was surrounded by a warmth.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Could you feel it? Yes?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: That was not very nice. And this is where I
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: want to ask the question for everyone listening. Is this
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: something that we're doing as adults, like as adults, So
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: we're still peeing in the pool and no one's talking
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: It's like you're cool of doing it. They're just not
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: talking about it. And you can't ask a question because
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: people will say, oh my god, I never do that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: They all do it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Pull it, put it up on your two doting dad's Instagram.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I want the polls. I want to know because I think,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: for example, I think a lot of adults pick their nose, right,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: they just do it when they're in the car, or they.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Do it themselves. How else do you get the boogers
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: out right? Everyone's picking their nose. No one's going to
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: admit to it. Is it something like that? Like?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Am I have I misunderstood this? Are we still peeing
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: in the pool as adults?
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Did you we in the pool? No?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It didn't I was cold and then they went to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the bathroom. But you see in the pool, and I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: was like, I guess, are we all doing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Just like?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think we should endorse it. I think that
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the answer is surprisingly or maybe not surprising. I think
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the answer is going to be no. I think people
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: are not doing this.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: For the record, it was one time only. I never
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: normally do that in a pool. I doubt it.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Also, it's kid pull. It's full of piss.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: It's fine. I mean the kids. Okay, this is going
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to sound so bad. But Lola at the time, not
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: many people were in the pool, and Lola was like,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I need to do a wee wieze and I was
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: just like, ah, you're good, lets kid, let it run free.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And then Peano was never sponsoring you again.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: And then and then I think Alisha was like, Tazzy,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: who is Alisha your sister? Tazzy her daughter? There we
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: go makes sense perfect. Tazzy was like, I need a
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: wee and Alisha goes, do not do it in the pool,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: and Lola goes, I am, And I was like, ah,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: that's my kid. Our entire family is just pissing in
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: the pool. Nana Ellie as well was just like squatting
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: over there doing a piss. Also, yeah, but she got here,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: but she wears Tina pas.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Anyway, well, with all of those little topics that I
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: brought out of the way.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I wasn't recording.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You're kidding, was Jake. Sorry, Let's get into the questions
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that you guys asked, because Matt you put up question
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: box on Instagram. You asked whatever relationship parenting, I don't know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: whatever questions you have for us, and we're going to
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: do our best answer them. Question number one, this is one.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get straight to the point. How's the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: sex life with your mum living with you?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Guys?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Now, so if you're not aware, I'm sure most of
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you are. We live with Matt's mum. She moved in
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: with us maybe six months ago.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I think I think it's I think it's improved.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I reckon.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, why would you suggest that it's improved?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Okay? As an example, Okay, we're away for four nights. Right,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: We're in a room where it's a sofa pull out
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: bed and we've got then our beds. There's no kids room.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: There's also no hanky pay here happening when you share
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: a room with your children, even though they're asleep and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: they're in another bed and everything else, and there's a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: distance between you, if you can still spot them from
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: across the room, ain't nothing happening inusehold.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: We floated with the idea of maybe like doing it
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: in the bathroom.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: You floated. I said, no, it was I put it
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: out to the group.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: You knocked it back. The reason why I think sex
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: life has gotten slightly better thanks to my mum. Right,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: hear me out is the fact that that the only
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: reason why we were able to have sex on the boat,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: right is because my mom took the kids.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean that's she just came away on
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the holiday with us. Yeah, we're not like a living
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: together situation. We don't haven't improved sex life because your
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: mom's here. We have you do like your mama.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: We haven't. Don't make it sound weird like that. We
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: should utilize her more in that there's a park down
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the road, Okay, we.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Because she looks cruising too.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're really lame, Laura in that when we
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: get like a little window of free time on the weekend,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: you and I will go to the gym. Yeah we
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: do that? Is that lame? Is that lame?
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It's not lame.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: We just like you know, I think other parents out
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: there they must be like, oh no, I would do
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: that too, like I would get some exercise. Okay, we
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: have the option. Okay, we have the option right now
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: when we get this little window of free time, we
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: could have sex, but instead we opt to then get
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: in the car, go to the gym and work out
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: for forty five minutes.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: But the reason why we do that, and just to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: add context to it, the reason why we do that
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: is because your mum would just be downstairs with the kids.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Like it.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: There's nothing saying down the park okay, because there's nothing
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: sexy about sneaking upstairs and going for it when you
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: know that the children are downstairs watching Frozen and Nanea
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: is making a bolonaise like it doesn't get me going,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: surprisingly that's fine. I would say that the things are
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the same. Sex life is the same. We always find
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: our house is quite good because Ellie lives in it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: She lives at the very front of the house and
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: we're at the very back of the house, so we've
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: got a little bit of distance between us. The only thing,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and it's more criticism of you and your memory, Matt,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: because Matt has like sex blindness. I would call it
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: so like we could have sex on a Friday and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: then have sex six days later, so like on the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Thursday the following week, and Matt will be like, we've
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: not had sex for a month, and he will say
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: that every single time, we on average have sex every
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: single week, and you act as though we've had sex
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: once since twenty two.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I am so guilty of that, so bad, And you're like.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Our relationship is so hard.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like I don't even know you anymore.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Because it's been four days.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I'm over here starving, starving for any bit of affection. Yeah,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and it's actually been like twenty four hours. I also
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: sex the day before. I know.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Anytime that you're like getting like a little bit frustrated
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: by anything, I'm like, you're either hungry or you need
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a special cuddle. And then you're good. You're so easy,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: You're such an easy person to read.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I then fuck me more.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I don't have time, and me more. I've got to work.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I've got a job, I've multiple jobs.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I know. I it's not my fault that I love
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: you and I love being with you. Okay? Is that
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: a crime? Does that make me a bad person?
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Can you blame the guy?
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: This one is from mon Hugg, Mon Hug, thank you
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: for your question. She asks, when did you feel like
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: you two were thriving not surviving with two kids?
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm still surviving. I'm not thriving.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: We have tiny pockets where we thrive.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like I've ever hit a consistent run
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: of thriving. I think sometimes it can look like that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: on social media because you're only post the photos of
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the fun staff and the good stuff. I feel as though, yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: exactly like you said, we have these little moments where
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: like things kind of work really seamlessly, and then you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: end up in a new phase of parenting your kids,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: going through some regression about something, just the bribing stops working,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you don't feel like
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you're thriving anymore. So I don't know if I ever
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: have felt particularly like I'm killing it as a parent.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: You have a tiny window where let's say the house
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: has been cleaned. Okay, let's say it's a Sunday.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Whisper it to me.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: We've had like a homebody Sunday where we've cleaned the kitchen,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: we put the washing away, you know, like we're on
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: top of all the daily boring tasks that we have
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: at home. I've done some gardening, the kids have been fed.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: When you have filled that green bin, oh stop it excited.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It's like that. Sorry, I forgot to add that to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the list. Feed you have sex with you feel the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: green binh.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: That's all it takes. But when you have those little
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: pockets and you're like, I feel like I'm on top
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of everything. You're like, this is fucking great. And then
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: it doesn't last for more than half an hour, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: the kids start drawing in the walls and start having
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: an attack at each other, and then it all unravels
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I do think though, having kids at are three years
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: old and five years old. I remember when I first
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: had Mali or I first had Lola, and I would
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: ask people that had older kids, like, does it get
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: any easier? And people who had older kids would always say,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get easier, it's just different, and I disagree.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I actually genuinely think now that the kids are older,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it is getting easier and easier. It's getting more and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: more manageable, and so I kind of feel like that's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a real scare tactic for people who have younger kids.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, I still have it just as hard
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: as you do. If you have little kids, you by
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: far have it the hardest because they're so dependent on you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: And now that our kids play together so well, you know,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say the independent because obviously they're not,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: but like I feel like we're they.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Drive themselves a daycare. They're now working part time jobs.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: They packed their own lunchboxes. I mean, you joke, but like, yeah,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the kids, the kids are great, and I feel like
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: it's getting easier and easier, and we've got the parenting
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: thing a little bit more downpat, But I don't feel
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: like we're thriving.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: And I do think as well. Daycare makes a huge difference,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: a huge difference. Once you can have some time away
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: from the kids and they're both in daycare, Like, that's
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: a total game changer. You feel like you've got yourself
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: back again. Yeah. So, I mean it's always got out
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: to the parents who don't use daycare. How the fuck
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: do you do that?
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you're the real saints.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Well said? All right, Next question having fun?
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: This is really fun? Okay? Question number three? What is okay?
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: What's your fight style? Scrappy? That's a scrappy fighter.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Thatt is grudgy.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You are a grudgy fighter.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I'm what makes you say that?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You take a little while to get over things, so, like,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're a bit grudgy.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I think your stuf, your best defense is an offense.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Don't you say this? You're the same you're the same.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: You're the same gaslight me. The problem that we have
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: gaslight me.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Stop using words that you don't know what I mean.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: You're a gas lighter. The biggest downside to being married
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: to a woman who has a podcast all about love
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and relationships is that she's very difficult to argue with.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I am difficult to argue with, and it's because I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: also quite stubborn. But the problem is that I think
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: we have is that you and I have the same
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: fight style, so we argue in the same way. Neither
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of us want to be in the wrong, like, neither
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of us want to have hurt the other person, so
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: we kind of jumped straight to defensiveness sometimes. So if
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I say, hey, you did this and this hurt me,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: you'll be like, well, you did this and that's why
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I did that. And we do this and I do
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the same thing to you.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I apologize very hard to get an apology at of
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Laura Burn.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You apologize more, but it's because you're wrong more. Sorry,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: this is true, but you your fart style, Matt is
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: anytime we're having a disagreement about something and I say, hey,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: you did this and this upset me, you say oh,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I can never be right and you throw your hands
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: in the air and then the argument can't go anywhere.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: You'd be like, oh, once again, Laura Burn's right, and
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: so that's just a really it's quite belittling, but like
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: you know, we're working through it. Therapy helps.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's move on before we had a real blown argument.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: We don't actually go to therapy.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: That was a joke.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: We've not You and I have never been to couples therapy.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I think we do very well at communicating how we
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: feel about.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Stuff so far, but we should go to a couple therapy.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you suggested it recently and I got to upset.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Why did you get upset.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Because you suggested it off the back? Do you want
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to remember why you suggested it? Because we hadn't had
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: sex in a week. We had had sex in a week,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and you said, I feel like we're not as connect
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: did and maybe we should go to therapy. Then we
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: had sex once and you were fine. There's a common atment.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: A Look, I'll be honest when I said that I
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: knew what I was doing. Did you really that's so mean?
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Maybe we do need therapy after all.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I was like, I was like what. I just think
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: it's health. We should got a therapy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your love language?
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: U remind me what they are again?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Gifts and quality time.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I am gifts. I'm a zero like I don't need gifts.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I don't care about gifts, Like gifts don't really do
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: much for me. I am physical touch, and I am
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: words of affirmation and also acts of service. I love
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: it when you do shit for me and you're a
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: real acts of service person, Like you're very very good
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: at doing the things that make my life easier, which
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: make me feel loved, like paying my parking fines and
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: in cleaning out my car.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Does that I've paid your toll bill in the other
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: d like that.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I love it when you do those sorts of things
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to me that I like my life admin stuff which
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I'm particularly bad at it really like that makes me
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: feel super Okay.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: What about when I sent the accountant some of the
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: information they needed.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: For tax like stop is off. That is to me,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I appreciate how much of the organization that goes into
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: our life, and that makes me feel very loved because
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: it lightens my load massively.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Lightens my load too.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: What's yours?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I think the same, the same, same. I don't know.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: It gives me?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: What about the wallet I brought you?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Who is that?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Who knows?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Because you bought me a wallet, I already have a wallet.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I forgot I bought you one for your last birthday.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: So you bought me a wallet when my current wallet's
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: also like totally fine. So I was like, I feel bad.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I feel bad using the new wallet because the like
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: then the old wallet becomes redundant. So when the old
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: it becomes too old to use, I will transition to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the new wallet. So what this is?
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: How much I'm not a gifts person. I bought Matt
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a wallet last year and a shirt that was too
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: small and a shirt that was too small, which I
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: thought he would really like.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: And I feel so bad this year.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: This year, I bought him a wallet because I forgot
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: about the wallet I bought him last year. I genuinely
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: thought you were still using the wallet your ex girlfriend
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: gave you.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: That's where my brain was at. Oh and you're like, oh,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: we'll see about that.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I can get rid of that girl.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry, I apologize.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Why are you apologizing?
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: So I should use it? The new wallet next question,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts about divorce? Wow?
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Hit me, as in like do I want to do it?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Or just in general not us. I'm the product of
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of divorce, as in, like my parents got
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: divorced a lot.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: How many divorces in total?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: So my mum was married three times, divorced twice. My
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: dad was married twice but then also engaged a third
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: time and separated, so they were pretty much married, but
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: they never actually got married.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: So three and two. So what's your take on divorces? Then?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I used to be very skeptical, not of divorce but
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of marriage. So prior to meeting you, I always kind
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: of said I didn't want to get married because I
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: didn't think it was worth the paper that it was
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: written on. And I always was like I was never
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the girl that pictured my wedding or the white dress
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: or any of that sort of fairy tale because it
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: kind of just felt like it didn't mean a lot,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I guess, And then meeting you, I don't know. We're
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: a very good team together, like we are. We very
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: much support each other, We work really well together. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: think we both saw marriage in a very similar way,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and I felt confident when we were together, that if
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: sit got hard, you would work on it. And I think,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and this is probably maybe going a bit too deep.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but in my past relationships, I think
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I always lived with a really big fear that they
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: were going to just leave, like that if I wasn't
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: pretty enough, or smart enough, or funny enough, if I
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't like always on my best game, that if we
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: had a fight, they would leave, you know, because anytime
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: we did have a fight, often they would break up
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: with me or it was like very tumultuous. Whereas like
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: with you, especially when we got pregnant. With when I
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: first got pregnant, your reaction to that pregnancy spoke volumes
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: about the person that you were.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: How did I react? Again, I think I was just excited.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: It was yeah, but okay, so I mean, and like
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I said, maybe this is bitu.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: It was a surprise.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: It was a surprise, which is like, thank god, you're excited.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But so I was in a six year relationship with
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: my ex and he basically was like if you if
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: you ever got pregnant and you didn't have an abortion,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I'd leave you. That's what he would say, and he
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: would say it so frequently that it was an expectation
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: that if I chose to not have an abortion, he
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: was not going to stick around for the relationship. And
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I thought that was normal, Like, of course I was
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: hurt by it, but I was so naive to how
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: people treated each other in relationships that I was like, oh,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm deserving of. And so when I told
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you that I was pregnant, I was so worried that
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: you were going to be angry at me, that you
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: were going to be like this is fucked, Like how
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to fucking manage this? And you burst out
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: laughing and you were so happy, And I was like,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: this guy's is a fucking good egg? Is a really
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: good egg? I was, Yeah, I was, I was that right,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I'm Marriam.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I was similar in that I remember.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: It's weird how certain situations and conversations are those core
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: memories in your mind. My mum and dad split up
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: when I was about twelve, I think eleven or twelve,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: and I hated. I hated the fact that their family
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: was being split up, even though I can look back
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: and I know it was absolutely it had to happen,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: that it was so unhealthy for us all to be
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: together under the one roof.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: But when you're a kid, you just you can't. You
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: can't understand, like you know what you know right, and
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: even if what you know is toxic, it's all the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: safest version because it's what you're familiar with totally.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: And I remember when my dad would cook the barbecue
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: outside on the veranda. I would always just like it
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: was like my job to get the tongs and get
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the plate. It was always just I would be a
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: little helper. And I remember my dad was flipping the
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: steaks and he looked a him and he said, Mat,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: if I can give you one advice in this world,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: it's never get married.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, thanks dad.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: And I remember thinking to myself, I was like, you're wrong.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to prove you wrong. I remember like I'm
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: so stubborn that I was like. I was like, no,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. You are we right? And
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I was like I'm going to make it work. Yeah. Yeah.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I feel very similar. Like I feel like I, you know,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you either repeat the things that your parents did in
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: their relationships because that's your blue print, or you like
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: really actively choose to be different. And I think even
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: though we're not perfect all the time, and we have
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: our moments where we will accuse each other of gaslighting
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: each other. Like we are so on the same team,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: like we're never opposing each other. And and I have,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: like I have such strong faith and like reassurance and absolute,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: like unwavering faith that even when things get really hard,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: like we we're in it. We're in the ship together
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and we will work hard to make it better. Yeah,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and that that's for me. Is like our marriage feels
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: very different to them to what my expectation of marriage was, just.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Because we're so fucking stubborn. I love you. Okay, Okay,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: listen back to this episode ago, Oh my god, loss
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: back on the podcast again.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Okay. The next question is, Oh, this is one that's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: not actually about us specifically, but it's around kids at weddings.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: What is your opinion on having children at a wedding.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: I get so annoyed when people will send out an
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: invite and say that there are no kids allowed.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I feel not that annoyed. I feel differently to you.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I think that there has to be a limit. I
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: understand why people who don't have children don't understand why
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: it's important to have kids there for people who do
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: have children, But I think I think it's okay to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: not want to have small children at your wedding, Like
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: if you give enough time for preparation of babysitters, etc.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: It's okay to make that, But it's not okay to
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: expect breastfeeding mothers to not bring their babies, Like if
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: you've got a baby that's under X amount of months,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have a figure in my head,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: but babies absolutely are and should be there. Are just
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: an extension of their mother. They should be welcome no
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: matter what. But I get why some people don't want kids. However,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: we didn't have that rule at our wedding. We were like,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: bring your kids, we don't care. Obviously, our kids were
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a massive part of our wedding. We had the dog there,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the kids were there.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Especially. We know how hard it is when you're outside
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: of a big city to a on a babysitter and
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: then like b to then try and like you know,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: if you're there, if you got kids for the ceremony,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: then you have to try and ditch the kids. You
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: have to get back to your accommodation from the babysitter,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: come back to the wedding. It's so hard logistically, but
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I don't I think having all the kids there made
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: our wedding better.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: It was so fun and silly, and I think it
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: was amazing. I loved having them there. The only thing
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: was is that most parents didn't want their kids there
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: for the reception, so most parents just naturally organized babysitters
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: for bed times, et cetera, et cetera. Look, I don't
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: care about kids at wedding. I understand why some people
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: are against it, but I think that often people's perception
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: around it shift a little bit after they've had kids themselves.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Not everyone, but some yeah idiots. Nah, it's not that bad.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Okay. Last question, Laura, that I'm going to ask you,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: partly because I've been asked this question a lot by
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: many different people, both in person and online, but also
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: because I've never really had the chance to talk to
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: you about how you feel, oh God, honestly, about the
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: situation we're in right now at home where my mom
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: lives with us.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: How do you feel well?
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: We also can't talk too loud. She's here, she's about
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: twenty meters away, locked in her We did, Okay, Can
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I just say what can I just say. I'd say it.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Her favorite quiz show is The Chase, The Chaser. The Chase.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: It's on right now, isn't it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: And there was like five minutes left and she was
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: about to see whether or not the contestant beat the
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: She didn't know. She literally sits on that couch at
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: the edge of the seat being like, oh my gosh,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: like bitting her nails, being like will they win? And
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: it was a really good episode. She was like Mum
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, this is great. I don't
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: know what's going to happen. And then we started recordings.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: We had to banish her to the room to close
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: it door and she couldn't finish watching her quiz.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. But I also don't I don't
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: like podcasting with like spectators. So once we hit record,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Matt was like, hey, Mum, can you turn the TV off?
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: And can you go into your bedroom? So Paul Ellie's
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: just sitting in her bedroom right now whilst we record this.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I would love to know your opinion. You go first.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: I think overall, especially the last two days, Mum has
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: been absolutely Mum's been here.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: For six months and you're like, the last two days
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: have been good.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: We've got a good run last two days in particular,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: just because it's been like really really heg dick. You know,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: we were out last night. You know, Mom did the kids.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: She like, you know, as I was like racing out
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: the door, she made me a little meal. She was
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: just she was doing so much to make my life easier,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: our lives easier.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I love it, Like, and people ask me this question
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: all the time, like living with your mother in law,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: that must be interesting, And it definitely had a moment
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of adjustment, like, you know, it's just having another whole
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: body in the house. But I get along with your
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: mom famously, Like we get along so well. I think
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard for her because we often work in
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: the nighttime and she wants to have a chat and
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: so like, you know, that's probably the only time when
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I feel guilty because I want to talk to her,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: but I have to get work done, et cetera. But
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's great. Also, you need
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: to be nicer to your mom. You're so mean to
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: your mom about her cooking, and she's she does so
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: much and you were like the cook the way I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: went to camesy and be cooked. I'm like, Matt, just
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: be happy that she got the carrots.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I do you, child, I do need to be nicer
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: to her. She's just so easy to wind up. I
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: was like, I think those characs are overcooked. She was like,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: they just they've just been put on, and she was like,
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: how dare you? And I'm like, Mom, I'm joking.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I no, we love it. But also for me, I
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: think maybe I have a bit of a different upbringing.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Like I grew up living with my grandparents, and I
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: spent so much time with my grandparents as a kid.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: So even when we moved out from living with my
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: nana papa, they just moved up the road and my
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: nan and my papa were like real parental figures for
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: me because my mum was a single mom with three kids,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Like it was, you know, it was moren't the easiest upbringing.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: And I got to have that with my grandparents, and
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: my relationship with them was incredibly special, and I want
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: that same thing for our kids, and so like it
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: makes me really really happy that they get to have
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: that relationship with their nana and they're building that sense
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: of like really connected family. So even like the small
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: inconveniences sometimes of having like an extra person in the house,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: which is not an inconvenience, but you know what I mean,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: it's that's like it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I also think like if you swim with the current
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: on stuff, like if you want things to be done
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: in a particular way, like your way, then that's when
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: you would get frustrated by things. But I'm just happy
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that things get done, So I don't care like Early
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: does it her way.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Because you don't do anything. I don't do.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Anything in his house. I just walk in and I'm like,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: dinner's there, Washing's been done. It's so nice. I'm like
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: a passenger in my own home.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: It must be nice.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: It must be nice, Laura.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Before we go, we do have a message from the
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: one and only Ashton Wicks. He's having a delicious holiday
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: over in Bali and he wanted to send us this.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: I hope you're enjoying your time together on this record,
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: and Laura, I appreciate you stepping in. It's tough out
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: here on the island hot and yes, it must be nice.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: Now I have a hackle fuck that that happens to
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: come from my diligent and well organized wife. I'm sure
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: that Jess, our producer, has shared a photo with you
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: which is a tackle box full of snacks now. April
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: found this on TikTok. She loves to find little things
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: to make things easier. Now, this tackle box is loaded.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Up with all sorts of things.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: We've got oreos, fruits, crackers, anything like that. What she
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: does is she does that the night before we get
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: on a long flight for the kids. The problem with
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: that is it can cause a bit of a mess.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: And usually when kids also see the healthy options and
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: the unhealthy options together, you can imagine what they would prefer.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: So I just want to know what you guys think.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: It seemed to work except for when they saw the
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: aureo section and we're quite famished for an oreo. When
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: one would say, and I've gone to the bathroom and
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: come back and all of the areos are gone, but
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: the fruit still intact.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Let me know what you think.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I miss you guys very much so, and I mean
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: i'll see it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: I'll see you soon, I guess caybye.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: That was a really long message. Doing his own podcast
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: was get to the point. I do know this because
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I've witnessed it firsthand. April is very organized, yes, and
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it makes me feel like a very unorganized parent. She's
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: the snack parent. She's got things bought and prepped and whatnot.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: And where the parents that are like, Oh, our kids
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: are hungry, what are we going to feed?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I've got a bag of twisties and apple and some lint.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Take your pick, and I don't mean a linp ball.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: I just mean a piece of dust. That's all you got,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: some dried skin, pick your nose. We are not that
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: organized as parents, even when we've been on this cruise.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: So we went on this crew on a cruise.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I went on a cruise when we were cruisers. I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: went to the shops and I bought all these snacks
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: with the kids and I put them into a carry
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: on bag. And then we got on the cruise and
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: my sister was like, I don't understand why you didn't
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: take the snacks out of the boxes to save yourself room.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I just packed full boxes of like a total box
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: of music bars, a total box of tiny teddies, like
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: everything just got loaded in. Because I'm not an admin person,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: as we have.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Discovered, I thought I thought it was great, you're snack packing.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: By the way, I thought it was really well done.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: If you have time, bloody great. If not, just buy
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: the kids a pack of chippies on the plane and
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: that'll sort them out.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think you need to buy them chippies
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: on the plane.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I just think that don't pretend like you do not
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: buy the kids chips on every single flight that we
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: have ever been on.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Prankles.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I don't want people just think you bout them chips.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I don't want people to leave this podcast thinking we
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: only like feed our kids smack on planes. We do, yeah,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: and Nana does a really good job of feeding them
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: healthy stuff at the other times of the day.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: No.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: I guess my thing is is that there are some
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: mums who are super organized and it helps them feel
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: as though they've got control over the situation and they've
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: got everything sorted for their kids. We are probably not
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: as organized as parents. However, we are very adaptable and agile,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: and our kids eat lots of things, so like we
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: can go to a cafe and get a sandwich or
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: get a wrap or whatever, and our kids are happy
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: to eat that stuff, you know, So if.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: You see us on a plane, please feel free to
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: donate any snacks leftovers that you may have to feed
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: our malnurished children.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: No, we sound like terrible parents.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Shout out to April. It's a great idea.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's a good idea. Would we do it?
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Probably not?
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: And I also think it's okay. It's okay if you're
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: a parent, you're not that organized. As long as you've
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: got a couple snacks in the bags and water, you're
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: all right. It's a fed.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Very often we do not have water as well. For
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: that kids, stop it. Why are you trying to make
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: out that way?
• 49:54
