  Speaker 1: That's a reference to Matt's three legg dog.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: He has three legs.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yes. The other night, over the weekend, we were showering
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the kids. Okay, and that's quite as you know, it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: quite a routine, and especially on a weekend, it's a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: bit silly. So it's a bit silly because I've had
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the whole day off, They've had the parties and stuff
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Bit silly. What's going on? What's happening?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I just mean, like you bringing the lolls, bringing the lot.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's not as structured as a week We get it
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in and get it done, go to bed, leave me alone.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's on the weekend, it's eight forty five and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, fack, you guys are still here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I come into the other room. I mean to be asleep.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It's like you haven't showered us anyway. So I'm showering
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: both and during that time we have selected the dog's needs,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: which is to go out. So Squiggy right, and no
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: one really knows, so in protest, she's done a big
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: old wee on the rug okay. At first, I was like,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: we can't get angry because we you're at fault. We're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: at fault. So we only yelled at her a little
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: bit and just make ourselves feel better. And then I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: realized that the pea patch looks like Spot the dog.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: She's doing art.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Bro, get ready for this. Either this is amazing or
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I was I was an edible deep ready, Spot.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: That's a self portrait. That is Squiggy.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's that's have a good look at that. I was like, April,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: is this just me? And she was like, no, that's incredible.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Is that a shadow of your penis?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: No? Thank you? Get me working on that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: That's a self portrait. The head shape, the legs, the tail,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: whole bit. We'll have to put it on somewhere so someone.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Can see it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think it looks like Spot. I think it
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: looks like Squiggy.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's a self portrait.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we go.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: If I'm going to put my critique hat on, I'd
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: say too much of a rigid jaw here for Spot's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: very curved.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I reckon if we get Spot up,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: maybe a cross between Spot and Brian from Family Guy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But well, How does it feel that I see a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: puddle of piece and I think about you?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Why do you think about it?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I wanted to show you so bad. I wanted to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: text it to you immediately, and I was like, don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: show him in person, because it's amazing. It's pcasso.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It's almost you don't want to clean it up. You
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: want to miss casso. You want to like cut that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: out of the rug and then frame it was.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Already framed the feature wall at home. Anyway, We've got
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of new things in the studio, Matt, you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: want to run us through.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It look budget wise. It just the algorithm knows when
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm at my weakest, and I was thinking, hey, Neon light,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that'd be cool. Started getting ads and I was like,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: how do I pitch this into ash? You were actually
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: quite easy to convince.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't need convincing.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: What I know, you're a big me On guy, which
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I now I didn't know that going into it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Now we've got a Neon guy. Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I also was a bit wary being scammed because it
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: was like it was all just too good to be true,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and it was like your order will be ready in
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: one week, and then it took a little while to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: get here. It's been made off shore, not that I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: don't Zealand the neon manufacturers of this country shout out
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to that in abundance. And it was taking a long time,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I got fucking scammed here. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: was like, oh yeah, I hate that. Just about I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: think it was about five six hundred bucks.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Take them back.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: That's all right, that's great quality is it's really I
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: could have made that. Oh fuck, you could have done
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the wording and then you would have run out of steam.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: It would have likely kicked in, like oh butterfly.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Now we've got the neon sign. We've also got the corkboard,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the art in the show notes. You put in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: show notes, vig the address of our studios. People can
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: send in the kids art.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kids aren't only please if you want to put
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in any pictures like of yourself, no use one aware.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Oh jesus, well you never know. Have you received us underwever?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Someone asked me for some socks on so I tried
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to sell them on eBay and then eBay took them down.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Fun police can't do anything these days.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I did it from my feet, remember a long time ago.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But let's story for another time slot.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, so the studio, Yeah, we're in the new studio.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: A few people commented and said, wow, it sounds great,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if they're being polite or if
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: they're being genuine. Does it sound any different?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It sounds sarcastic.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Worn't the money that Neon sign really helps to the audio?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They're like, we can hear this weird buzzing in the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: background like an old convenience store. They're the new features.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So if you if you want to send in your
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: crap art from your kids, which is majority of we
• 5:54

  Speaker 1: book is about why you take your kids to daycare
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, and they have notification systems
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: or when you get there they tell you that they
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: ate all their food, sometimes more, and it's frustrating as
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a parent because you spend majority of your time at
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: home trying to figure out what.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: To feed these beasts begging.

  Speaker 1: we drop the kids at their relative daycares and getting
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that notification that says they've eaten all their lunch. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: then you try and figure out why they would eat
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: at school and not at home. So in the book,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I try various different methods making the food fun and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: attaining as you try to do as a parent, which
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you go online and all the hacks of that sort
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of stuff. And then it gets to the end of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the book and it's we can't figure we're at our
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: wits hand of why we can't figure out why the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: kids will eat there but not at home. And it

• 17:32
  Speaker 3: on things physical and metaphor.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Want to do it.

• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Ash brought it. How when kids come over and they
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: want to eat the food that you've got, because April
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: is a platter mum and she always has this beautiful
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: platter when they go out of like cut fruit and vegetables.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Is a long shot, But when you're outside the house, Yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: if it's like if we're going like say we're set
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: to go, right, we're going down the park. It's going
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to be a big morning at the park. That's the activity. Yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the snack platter has to match the vibe of the activity,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: which is we're going to be out and about the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: food needs to be out about.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: And then We've got people like Matt who are a
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: packet or that who you just literally chuck packets in there.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she bes in the music bars and like a
• 18:27

  Speaker 1: It's a strawberry on it. So yeah, yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: So I just loved the difference between like a packet
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: mum and a platter mum, and then I chucked it
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: on Instagram to get a vibe from the dotors fifty
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: platter mum.

  Speaker 3: And packet mums. It's pretty even split.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I'm actually was one hundred a bit of a hybrid.

  Speaker 1: you're leaving the house to go on a playdate or

  Speaker 3: to jump in. Watching him grow older and slower while
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: like kids got bigger and faster, has been very special.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: He was endlessly gentle with them, sleeping with Izzy during
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: loud storms, or doing a lap of the house every
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: night before he went to bed to make sure everyone
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: was okay. He didn't like cats or loud noises, but

  Speaker 3: he did love chrossots. We never really worked out what
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: he was part horse, part cat, part Jack Russell, all

  Speaker 2: How was that trip?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: It was great? Oscar had an amazing time. So he
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: got first of all, he got two days off school.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: It was absolutely stoked.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Did you have to do any forms for that?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: So April did the forms. But she's found a little
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: loophole in the form thing, a loop because when with
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: our school and it might be the same, might be
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: different for other schools. I'm not sure. When you organize
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: one day off of them, yeah, no problems, okay, but
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it's consecutive day back to back will get you. So
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: she just did single.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Days like single single, Yeah, genius.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: See she's smart, some very smart Vick.

• 32:42
  Speaker 3: April is very smart.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: She's not going to believe that, but yeah, so she
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: said yes because I was like, oh, Matt's a bit
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: stressed because of the whole he had to go to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Melbourne for a separate occasion, but had to take girls
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: out of school. And obviously they're like, tell us, why
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: are you taking the kids out school? Shut up? I
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: pay you, all right, I'll take my kids out if
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I want, I will. But she said, well, why don't
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you just book the days in not consecutively, do them
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: individually and then you don't have to do any of
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the fucking And they haven't clued on, well, it's all
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a portal online, so you've got the portal. So beat,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: she's beat. She's out here beating.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: AI were gonna go, fuck, do you know what's going
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: to happen? She's going to be the reason they have
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: like an overhaul. What are all these kids? No one's here?
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Then we'll have to delete this episode because it's like
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: she's just playing.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll come for aram, like why is April in
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: prison because she's.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: In parenting prison. But which so two days off, Oscar
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and I flew on the Wednesday because the game was
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Can I just say we facetimed and you were staying
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: at the Crown. Oh, that's a lovely room.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: We'll get there, we'll get to that, we'll get to
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: that partner sec. But we we flew Fleet on Quantas
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and I thought, it's just Oscar and I'm pulling out
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: all the stops here, upgraded the seat to wear just
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: a more leig room. He didn't notice the little legs,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but I noticed.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's for you.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: And then we both wore blues jerseys the whole day.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: We went walk through Melbourne because anyone was like there
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: were so many people down there that were in blue
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and maroon. With a couple of stops at some Jersey
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: shops where everyone was sort of congregated. Was great. The
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: vibe was really good actually on Flinders Street. So we
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: got to our hotel, the Crown Metropol, and get there
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and they're like, fantastic news, we've upgraded.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Oh shut the fuck.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, whoa to a loft and that's for
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: our FaceTime? You to rub it in and Oscar was like,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Oscar's been on a plane before, but it's not just
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: a trip specific for him, like this was for him.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go with him to bond and he's
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: really into footy and I want to harness that. Yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: so we did everything together. We went to like arcades together,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: all dressed in our blue stuff, the whole bit. The
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: upgraded hotel and really set him off because we overlooked
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: all of Melbourne. I don't think he's ever been that
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: high other than an aeroplane. So he was like right
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: up against the window, like, shit, look how small people are.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: So hotel room was great, massive. Then we went to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the stadium and walked around the outside of the MCG
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: like a seven year old at the MCG. He was like,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: could not be. I'm like, it's a bit bigger than Brookie.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Is that the first time he's been to the MCG?
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Mate, the first time he's been in Melbourne? Yeah?
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Wow, that little boy is gonna remember this.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: He was like me, oh yeah.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: He was like, I've never been to the MCGO.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Do you know how long it took me to go
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to the MG? Yeah? Thirty five? I was last year
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: was my first time and these kids are how good
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: they've got it? Ninety one thousand people in the stadium.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: It's a lot, and before the game kicked off too many. No,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it was great and like.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Because Melbourne's good for it, they can handle it.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we got in there. We walked around the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: stadium to observe. We bought a big cut out head
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of his favorite player, Tolly Kohler from Many.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Plays on the wing.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: If anyone wondering plays on the wing, plays in the
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: center's actually sorry, but he can play.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: The week you do it all, ignore me myself.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: And then we get inside. I believe his goalkeeper he's
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: one of the ones that catches the balls. He I
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: bet you he loves the Scotch finger. He's more of
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: an arrow root guy.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going to protect it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: We get in the stadium. We're one of the first
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: in this. We literally were one of the first. He
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: was like, I want to be first in first in.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: That's a how many hours earlier?
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: It was like six o'clock, eight o'clock kickoff. Anyway, game starts,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: He's like, I'm tired. Yeah, he was like, nah, he
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: was so palmed. He just wanted to get there, wanted
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to see it. Never been in the stadium, in the atmosphere.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: And when we get in there, I said, hey, I've
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: got one other thing that we need to do before
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: we can sit down in our seats, and that is
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: we're going to go on the field. And obviously all
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of this is thanks to the NRL. I was able
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: to take Oscar and I've never been on the field
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: of the MCG either. I'll tell you right now. It's
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: like I can imagine what it's like Russell Crowe walking
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: out in Gladiator. That's what it felt like. He walked.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: He was blown away, the people, the atmosphere, the noise,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: the sound. We're on the field. We got a photo
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: with the State of Origin shield.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: He must think, you're the coolest dad.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm fucking home, so thank you, thank you, And then
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: watched the game. Unfortunately didn't get the result. He started
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to cry. But everyone around, everyone around us, like we
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: just happened to be sitting in it. Quite get used
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: to it, son, Yeah, that's what I said, This is
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: just the beginning. He was like, I fucking hate Uncle Maddiel.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: He made that.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: A lifelong of heartache.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got ahead of him. I'm just getting used
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to it. So we're sitting in the section we have
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: there was obviously a lot of mpaths were really like, oh,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: is it okay. I'm like, yeah, he's just got to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: learn to lose, you know, he's only seven.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Resilience building.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So we left the game. We got out of
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: there and like you said, Melbourne, just that's it better.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: We were back at our hotel like ten thirty, which
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable considering we got a seven year old. Anyway,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: one final treat is ten thirty pm room service.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I saw that food.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: He got chicken nuggets and chips and some ice cream. Oh,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and we were sat in bed and watched what do
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: we want? We just watched whatever movie was on, some
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: kids movie, and he was pumped and he fell asleep
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: in his chicken nuggets.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: This weekend coming is like, so.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I know you are setting him up for very high.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: We got into the Crown Laught again this week.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: This week we're actually going to a manly seagle's training
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: and he's going to get to meet that player that
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: he has the big head of. That was the final thing.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: So that's happening tomorrow.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: But for people wondering he's taking him out of school again.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, only for the morning, but he's Yeah, he's pumped.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: That's great, that's good. Gear.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I always thought doing what I do now for a job,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I want my I want to be able to do
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: things like that for my kids, and hopefully it's the
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: first of many. And it felt. It feels really good
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: to be able to do that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's beautiful.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna ask how it made you feel.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when we went to jiu jitsu a couple of
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: days after, and the head training owns of the jiu
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: jitsu gym, this Brazilian guy, he came up and he
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: must follow me and he was like, it's amazing that
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you got to do that for your kid. He'll never
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: forget that, not forget it. See right now, I.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Know I remember my first game with mum and fucking
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: back because then they won. He couldn't afford good tickets,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: but it was still great.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: She had five kids, Matt, I know she did her best.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: That wasn't enough, like enough.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: He will he will remember that. And I'm sure at
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: some point, if he has children, he will give back
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: to his kids what you gave to him.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I would hope. So, Yeah, yeah, fucking better. Yeah, because
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I remember, like when I was a kid, dad with
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: work would get a couple of things, like I remember
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: he took us to circus, sleigh and stuff like that,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: and I still remember that sort of stuff. So I thought, yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you do imagine imagine like like him going to school
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and doing his show and tell or whatever they do.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: He got to talk about that, he got to go
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: on the.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Field with poor kid goes after ask. He comes and
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: he's like, I got an ice pluck on the weekend,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: let's breaks get back up.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: What else you go? What else doing?
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, Laura's back. She's back, She's back home. The
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: band is back together, and you seem happier, you seem less.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: It's been a much easier week. Last week, bloody hell,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Marley was up at the crack of dongs. It was
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: her birthday. Oh yeah, I was like before yeah, it
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: was so I was half asleep. I promise her if
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: we'd go to breakfast, and I was there just like
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I was like just peeling myself out of the bed fatigue.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: But then we went straight into into Marley's birthday party.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: And I think, I think for parents out there who
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: are organizing a kid's birthday party. You're all going to
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: do it at some point if you have kids. I'm
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: assuming it's a level of stress that we just don't
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: need as parents.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: We put it on ourselves.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, you mean, like unless you're an event organizer.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: So if you're us, thank you, thank you. I remember
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: it's stressful, right, And there's you know, Laura and I
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: we had like we're back together. We're straight back into
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: business mode because they were I wish we were, you know,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: organizing the party. And then you know, sometimes you have arguments.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming nah, where there's no one really at fault.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: It's just for the sake of an argument.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Well just you know, no one's there's you know, something's
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: gone wrong, but it's like it's not you, it's not
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: your partner. And you know, sometimes you want to blame
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: me the person because you want to blame someone and
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: point the finger. But you know, Laura and I just
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: the stress of the birthday party. The cupcakes. The cupcakes
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: got us.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say it. Cupcakes not a good move.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Do you know what they didn't They didn't love the cupcakes.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: It's not always about the cup.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: So the issue was okay, packing the bag. Pack in
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: the bag, heading out for Mala's birthday party. Pack in
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: the bag. This is the big Hope bag the nappies
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: in it. And Laura goes, can you put the cup Actually,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I'm tweaking the story to make it.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Look like sometimes that was a fault, but it was Laura.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: She said, don't forget the cupcakes, and I was like, cool.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: So then I put the cupcakes in the tote bag, okay,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: loose in a box at the bottom of the tote bag.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: So then I got back to them organizing the kids.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Laura's picked up the bag, not realizing the cupcakes are
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: in the bag. The cupcakes have gone on their side,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: and then in the car Laura's got in the bag
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: and then being like, oh fuck, you put the cupcakes
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: in the bag, and so the cupcakes are now fucked
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: because they've all gone on the side.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Oh you said, there's no there's no one at fault,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: but there is what Laura's a fault. I think I
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: think if she said packed the cupcakes and you've gone
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: and done that, she probably needs to check the bag
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: before just yoink it up.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: That's what I said.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's a it's not like it's a mistake,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: and no, actually someone's made a mistake. It's not her fault,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: it's a mistake.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: She was like, I just thought you would have brought
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: the box on its own, because.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a blatant assumption. You're trying to do. You're
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: trying to pack everything together in one place where it's
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: easier for you to that and manage three kids and
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: help you know the moving pieces. Having the box on
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: its own arguably is more case sensitive than just putting
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: it into a bag. I think you need to go like, okay,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I'm picking up these bags. I can see the boxes
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: in there, but just blindly.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Because we're just racing out the door, racing at the door.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Time is I think fault is too aggressive. It's not
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: her fault, but it might be a mistake on her behalf.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: But both, Laura, I'm sorry.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: No one wants to be wrong. So she's kind of
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: like like to you, and I'm like her, I'm like,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: this is on you, and then.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: We're like, it's so good to have your back.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: A little bit tense, whilst we've also got the kids
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: in the car and May's friends are with us, and
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: we're like let's just pretend that we love each other. Yeah,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: how did the upcakes? I didn't even they got a
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: little bit. One one got eating. Their kids didn't. The
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: kids didn't love the cupcakes. I used to love cupcakes.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: What's with kids looking cupcakes anymore?
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: They want the big thing?
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: They only eat the icing.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, give me the.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Scutch finger, you must have a big tup of ice.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: They didn't like. The kids didn't like the icing.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Who made them?
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Did you make them?
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Please? Come on?
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: What?
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: No, they were bought.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: It's their fault.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Then I reckon bought cupcakes and as good as they
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: used to be.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: No, it depends on where you get them.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Sometimes the icing is revolting.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like a child. I only eat the icing.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if your kids do this for birthdays?
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Makes me not enjoy birthdays. But when you have two
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: kids who are similar age, Marley turned seven, Lola is five,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: and it happens with both kids. But when it's not
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: someone's birthday and the other person gets all the presents
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the other kids are, well, there's fucking sack.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: This is the first year that I really gave Macy
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the pre worn and.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: I try't managed to expect.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: She said, hey, do you know what Tomorrow is Oscar's birthday,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: but yours is next. So we might be showering Oscar
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: with giftsons and people might be saying happy birthday, and
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: it might be all about Oscar, but then when it
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: comes to your day, it'll be all about Macy. And
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: she sort of well, like there was a couple of
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: moments where she felt a little I could see it,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: but she was trying to be really brave about it.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: And then Oscar was like, hey, do you want to
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: help me open this? Do you want to help me
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: open this? Do you want to help me open it?
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: So that's that's to go.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: It's more April. It's more April. That's more April. But like,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I know what you mean, because I could see her
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: fighting it back because she she was understanding what I said,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: but wasn't under the feelings. Weren't understanding it, if that
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: makes sense.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I managed the expectations and days leading into it.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, birthdays are not for you all the time,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: sometimes for other people. And it's Marley's birthday, so she
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: will receive the presents. We actually had a present for her,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: just so she got don't look.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: At me like that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: We gave her something to get me, like a little toy.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: It's a new car.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: But even then, when Marley was on like a third present,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Lola was like, oh, I just got to fuck myself
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: because clearly no one loves me and the fucking.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Family they got news on it.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: What am I just move out?
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Is this it? I was like, no, it's just because
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: it's Marley's birthday. And then Mary's friends came along and
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: she was like, oh, well, what's the fucking point of
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: even being here? I was like, this is this is
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I noticed your child.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you're on the phone the other day and
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: you're like lowls. You're like hey Lola, and You're like,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: we're on a party. She was like, yeah, I just
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: going to a party with it one of her friends.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: It was like so pumped.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: But we went to It's like the Greatest Showman Live
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Show and was there no no you you but all
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: the songs from the from the movie were being sung
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: and it was great. It was really good. It was
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: actually I was like, this is fucking good fun.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Because it's still showing.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like to go.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Actually, I think it's fair there were some acts that
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: were great for the kids, like the trapeze, you know,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: and there's like the big sea sawory thing where people
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: are flipping and the kids are like, wow, this is
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: like big energy. It's not a it's a very to
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: slay s a lot more singing. But then there were
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: some acts that for me watching on I was like,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: that is so impressive, Like the balancing act. There was
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: this wire, this loose wire, and this guy was balancing
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: on the wire. And if this guy who was the
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: performer ever comes across this video slash podcast, I just
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: want to let you know that I loved it, but
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: not all children loved it. Let me play your video
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: so you were allowed to film a little bit of
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: the show. And this guy on the on the wire,
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: the balancing wire, he's on a unicycle and he's juggling.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: What I do it was? I was watching him just
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: being like to be able to do that, it's just
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: like the hours, the weeks to months, the years of
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: training he must have on through to be able to
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: do this. Except my child didn't appreciate it.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't Yeah, oh my god, he's is he juggling?
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Did everyone hear her say that? Did the mad on

• 48:27
  Speaker 2: is nice and slack, and he's on a unicycle juggling
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: whilst balancing with wire, and my kids like, oh yes,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I was like trying to drown out the boring from
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: my child. It's pretty impressive and it's amazing, and it was.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: Just does impress her.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Then she wanted the fire. They said there's going to
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: be a tiger. There was like a like a a
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: theater type. It wasn't a live tiger.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: And she was like, the tiger you have to explained
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: to it. It's actually cruel to put animals and shows
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: she likes.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: She liked the flipping. There was someone who was breathing
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: fire and that was like.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: It's just fucking boring.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I was, I don't know if it's because I'm a

  Speaker 2: parent now some of the acts where it was a
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: little bit dangerous.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Do the same thing sometimes that I watched, Like I
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: watched like a kid jump off like a higher platform

• 52:03
  Speaker 2: in a position where you're open to something.
