- 0:00Speaker 1: This may come as no surprise, Ash, but I'm not perfect.
- 0:04Speaker 1: I appear to be get out of yet, but I'm not.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Last night I had many occasions throughout the day where
- 0:10Speaker 1: I was like, don't forget, don't forget to do this task.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I will say that you're pretty forgetful.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Fuck you.
- 0:17Speaker 2: If you can't take the honesty, get out of the kitchen.
- 0:20Speaker 2: That's saying.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Let me start the episode. Welcome back to two notting dads.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I am Maddie J And I'm Ash. This is a
- 0:41Speaker 1: podcast all about parenting. It is the good, it is
- 0:43Speaker 1: the bad, and and if you come for advice, you're
- 0:46Speaker 1: an idiot.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Well said, Shame on you, shame it is your fault.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Am I slurring my words? Am I slurring? I feel
- 0:54Speaker 1: like I'm slurring. I haven't drunk anything, it's just very
- 0:57Speaker 1: slurry at the moment. Am I having a stroke?
- 1:00Speaker 2: Find out?
- 1:01Speaker 1: Okay? So I had multiple options throughout the day just
- 1:05Speaker 1: I was like, oh, don't forget. And I was like,
- 1:07Speaker 1: shut up, brain, I know what I'm doing.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Brain, get out of here, Brain, not right now?
- 1:12Speaker 1: Wake up this morning? Forgot to put the bins out.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Sound of the garbage truck as it drives down the
- 1:19Speaker 1: hill past my house, and then I looked like a
- 1:22Speaker 1: pathetic loser, running out and being like, have they come back? Like,
- 1:28Speaker 1: do I chase the garbage truck?
- 1:29Speaker 2: You just put it on the outside of the road
- 1:31Speaker 2: and they come back up the other side.
- 1:32Speaker 1: No, No, they do. Because it's a narrow street. They do.
- 1:35Speaker 1: They do both sides at the same time, same time.
- 1:38Speaker 1: They're quick. They're so quick those garbage killed.
- 1:40Speaker 2: It's called skilled labor.
- 1:41Speaker 1: So I was like, what do I What do I
- 1:43Speaker 1: do here?
- 1:44Speaker 2: Just chucking around his bin and wait for next week?
- 1:46Speaker 1: Well, likely I'm flanked by two houses with dead people
- 1:49Speaker 1: in that they both did to me. My neighbor is
- 1:52Speaker 1: in a home not run down the other one, but not.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Her home, she's in another. So I do I have
- 1:58Speaker 2: the luxury of multiple you can call the council. You
- 2:01Speaker 2: got charge.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a pathetic loser.
- 2:04Speaker 2: You already were altho.
- 2:06Speaker 1: You know how I talked about morphing into Ronda, being like,
- 2:09Speaker 1: you know, the general of the street. I reported a
- 2:11Speaker 1: car that was parked on the street for too long? Why? Yeah,
- 2:14Speaker 1: because they're taking up car spaces unnecessarily. It's been there
- 2:17Speaker 1: for three months.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Do they put a sticker on it. Oh yeah, oh
- 2:20Speaker 2: yellow one, green one?
- 2:22Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 2:25Speaker 2: It's probably just not faded enough for yellow.
- 2:27Speaker 1: And then you know, I have like a weird kink
- 2:28Speaker 1: about reading notes that have been left on cars.
- 2:30Speaker 2: How many cars are you coming across with notes?
- 2:33Speaker 1: If I'm just walking to the cafe, and if I
- 2:34Speaker 1: see a note that's been left on a car, like
- 2:36Speaker 1: under the windscreen, I want to read written.
- 2:39Speaker 3: I know someone wrote me so nosy, Someone wrote me
- 2:41Speaker 3: not because I kept parking in the visitors saying what saying?
- 2:44Speaker 3: Stop parking in the visitors? But it was it was.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Like quite politely written.
- 2:48Speaker 3: And but then like my thought is there's no one
- 2:51Speaker 3: ever in there, like what you can't don't have a
- 2:53Speaker 3: leg to stand on if you don't have any visitors.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Du it. If once you start doing it then everyone
- 2:57Speaker 1: starts doing it, then fuck, there's number of parks left
- 2:59Speaker 1: and you're all the culprit for at all starting So
- 3:02Speaker 1: I think you got a nip it in the but early.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Also, I don't care if that happened. I don't care.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I just scrunched it up and went on with my day.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I reported it. I don't know. I wanted to be
- 3:09Speaker 1: picked up. Now I'm like waiting for it to be
- 3:11Speaker 1: picked up by a tow truck.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Car?
- 3:12Speaker 4: Is it?
- 3:13Speaker 1: It's a land Rover? Oh, defender, it's quite nice. Really, yeah,
- 3:17Speaker 1: it's just been sitting.
- 3:18Speaker 3: There for I was probably stolen. I don't know you
- 3:20Speaker 3: ever had a cast on? Never I had a car stolen?
- 3:23Speaker 3: Can quickly tell you about it?
- 3:24Speaker 1: Please?
- 3:25Speaker 2: On. I was an apprentice. I was what nineteen?
- 3:29Speaker 1: It is this when you're a painter?
- 3:30Speaker 2: Is this painter?
- 3:31Speaker 1: Okay? So what car are you driving?
- 3:33Speaker 2: I was driving a high lux tray back you Oh
- 3:35Speaker 2: of course you twenty?
- 3:37Speaker 1: Were you?
- 3:38Speaker 2: Really? Fuck?
- 3:38Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 3:39Speaker 2: And I was working in broad Beach on the on
- 3:42Speaker 2: the Gold Coast.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Just set your back. How much you pay for that thing?
- 3:45Speaker 2: It was like fifteen grand, was it?
- 3:46Speaker 1: That's a lot?
- 3:47Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 3:47Speaker 3: Look it was a great car. Actually it was a
- 3:50Speaker 3: terrible ride. Fake And like I was a painter.
- 3:53Speaker 1: How much we doing in the back tray?
- 3:55Speaker 2: What do you mean by work? Anyway?
- 3:58Speaker 3: Moving on, I would park it out in front of
- 4:00Speaker 3: this little these villas that we were doing at the time,
- 4:03Speaker 3: they were like four story villas. He walked down, so
- 4:06Speaker 3: park walked down to the garage and up the stairs
- 4:08Speaker 3: to the first floor to look back out onto the streets. Sure,
- 4:11Speaker 3: and I'm taking that set of stairs after coming back
- 4:14Speaker 3: from my car and.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Someone yells out, hey, did you lend someone in your car?
- 4:19Speaker 2: And I was like, that's funny. Turn around, it's driving
- 4:23Speaker 2: down the street. I legged it up the road after
- 4:26Speaker 2: this car. I'm at work, boots and all. I'm just
- 4:29Speaker 2: steaming towards like up like it's in.
- 4:31Speaker 3: It's in Broadby, so it's not like it's not fast
- 4:34Speaker 3: streets until you get out, so.
- 4:36Speaker 1: You'd have no chance going up the stairs on the
- 4:38Speaker 1: road to catch the car.
- 4:39Speaker 2: What happened well, because you go up and then there
- 4:41Speaker 2: was a set of lights.
- 4:42Speaker 3: It was quite a busy intersection, so it's like getting
- 4:44Speaker 3: out of I thought maybe I could catch him here.
- 4:46Speaker 2: I don't know what I would have done. I'd probably
- 4:48Speaker 2: been like time. Anyway, I got there and he must
- 4:53Speaker 2: have seen me come.
- 4:54Speaker 3: And he's hopped the curve going across the grass onto
- 4:57Speaker 3: the Gold Coast Highway and taken off. Oh no, it
- 5:00Speaker 3: was gone. It was completely gone. And then I left
- 5:03Speaker 3: the keys in it. That's why it was gone.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Anyway.
- 5:06Speaker 3: I didn't get it quick though, for so they must
- 5:09Speaker 3: have been watching me because I would have. I was
- 5:11Speaker 3: back and forth with the car at the time, putting
- 5:12Speaker 3: the keys down the side of the door.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Because I was back back back.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I think they target constructions.
- 5:17Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, they done. So I didn't get
- 5:19Speaker 3: it back for ages, and I thought, right, this is over.
- 5:21Speaker 3: I had insurance, I had all the right things, and
- 5:23Speaker 3: I was like, sweet, actually fine. And I remember I
- 5:26Speaker 3: was overseas and I get an email from my insurance
- 5:28Speaker 3: saying we've found your car. I was like, it's like
- 5:31Speaker 3: three months I'd moved on. I was like a breakup.
- 5:34Speaker 3: I was like, I'm looking for rebounds.
- 5:36Speaker 2: And then I got back and like, you just need
- 5:38Speaker 2: to come and inspect the car. And I went to
- 5:39Speaker 2: spect the car.
- 5:40Speaker 3: It was in exact nick, except the tray was full
- 5:44Speaker 3: of furniture and inside was a lunch box cooler box
- 5:49Speaker 3: like an eski full of people's garage door keys.
- 5:53Speaker 2: And the guy goes, let yours.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Yeah, bro, that's my fucking lunch box full of fucking keys.
- 5:58Speaker 3: So they'd gone around just robbing people's houses for three
- 6:02Speaker 3: months in his car, and it got picked up because
- 6:04Speaker 3: they parked in a tozone and they towed it away.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Wow, do you reckon. They came back to the toes.
- 6:08Speaker 2: I was like, with the fox my car, someone stolen
- 6:11Speaker 2: my car.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Hello.
- 6:13Speaker 2: So anyway, I got it back and it was fine,
- 6:15Speaker 2: although I did scratches, No, it was all good.
- 6:18Speaker 3: And then it didn't come off the police register for ages,
- 6:21Speaker 3: so I'd get pulled over and arrested all the time. Literally,
- 6:24Speaker 3: like I was on the main road in Tweed going
- 6:27Speaker 3: to the paint shop and I get pulled over and
- 6:29Speaker 3: the guy's like, hold your hands out the side of
- 6:32Speaker 3: the thing.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck, it's eight o'clock in the morning, Like
- 6:34Speaker 2: what the fuck?
- 6:35Speaker 3: And then I he pulled me out of the car
- 6:37Speaker 3: and put me up against the car.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Oh my god. And then I was like, hey, people
- 6:41Speaker 1: are dropping Bathway with that ash.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like this. I was like, this is
- 6:44Speaker 2: fucking ridiculous. And then eventually they cleaned it up. But
- 6:47Speaker 2: it went on for ages until I moved to Sydney.
- 6:50Speaker 2: And then my.
- 6:50Speaker 3: Dad got a call saying, hey, we found your son's
- 6:53Speaker 3: car in Sydney, and my Dad's like he's had it
- 6:55Speaker 3: back for a year now and he's moved to Sydney.

- 9:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Samuel has messaged a number of times to different accounts
- 9:19Speaker 1: personal two d D and he did a little story
- 9:21Speaker 1: about how annoying it is putting a nappy in the
- 9:24Speaker 1: washing machine, And anytime that sentence has been spoken, he
- 9:28Speaker 1: comes out the woodworks and he's like, just to let
- 9:30Speaker 1: you know, and he says, I wasn't sure if he
- 9:34Speaker 1: was taking the piers.
- 9:35Speaker 2: He's passionate about the nappy in the.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Washing machine, is he is? And he says, yo yo yo,
- 9:40Speaker 1: yo yo. No, he said, just listen to the party
- 9:44Speaker 1: about the nappy fucking up the clothes in the washing machine.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Chuck a cup of salt in the washing machine and
- 9:49Speaker 1: wash them again, and all the crystallized nappy shit disappears,
- 9:53Speaker 1: So you don't have to burn the house down for
- 9:55Speaker 1: an insurance job.
- 9:55Speaker 2: But then won't all my clothes like smell like dirty ocean?
- 9:59Speaker 2: Well you just then you wash again. I'm confused.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I was like, surely it doesn't just
- 10:03Speaker 1: work like magic. We put salt in there, and.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Well, the salt would absorb it all, I guess. But
- 10:07Speaker 2: then you've got a salt problem.
- 10:08Speaker 1: But then it's going to rust the machine. I don't know,
- 10:10Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Thank you, Samuel.
- 10:12Speaker 1: The fact that we were questioning we're going to come
- 10:13Speaker 1: back twice as hard now, damn it, Damuel, keep on
- 10:16Speaker 1: writing in.
- 10:16Speaker 3: There are also other people that have written in around
- 10:19Speaker 3: something else we spoke about, which was knits. Hmmm, and
- 10:23Speaker 3: don't just have suggestions Matt of what to do hit me.
- 10:26Speaker 2: This is from Jilly. It's the worst. Try coke, be
- 10:30Speaker 2: more specific. Okay, I get the dealer on the phone.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Coke in their hair.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Also, my ex mother in law use a cat flea
- 10:40Speaker 3: treatment in her daughter's hair and apparel.
- 10:43Speaker 2: It worked for the whole class, except they are all
- 10:46Speaker 2: now mewing.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Did you make that up?
- 10:48Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 10:49Speaker 1: I would hate to think the dotors think that we
- 10:52Speaker 1: attack them for writing into a podcast.
- 10:54Speaker 2: But did I have an attacking tone? No?
- 10:57Speaker 1: I just think there are products designed specifically for the
- 11:00Speaker 1: basket hand, right, there are knit treatments. So the fact
- 11:03Speaker 1: that you've gone and gotten coca cola and then going
- 11:05Speaker 1: and gotten flea triament for a cat when you're like, hey,
- 11:08Speaker 1: there's I don't know if it's more, if it's stronger.
- 11:11Speaker 2: And how did you figure that out?
- 11:13Speaker 1: Like, just use the knit treatment. Although I'm using it,
- 11:16Speaker 1: it's not working.
- 11:16Speaker 3: It's not working, so maybe maybe I should shut then
- 11:18Speaker 3: maybe you should Yeah.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Try it?
- 11:20Speaker 3: Let us know the coke in the hair is does
- 11:22Speaker 3: it have to be the sugar full sugar full banger?
- 11:24Speaker 1: I'm not sure.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Another Dodo actually said, if you use a hair straightener,
- 11:28Speaker 4: it actually burns the eggs and kills the knits as
- 11:32Speaker 4: you put.
- 11:33Speaker 1: It through the hair.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Don't they get stuck to your scalp?
- 11:36Speaker 1: They are quiet, but it kills them.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Although I when I when I search through Marley's hair, yeah,
- 11:42Speaker 1: you're right, the knits are like right on the scalp.
- 11:44Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to really burn her shave her
- 11:46Speaker 1: head off. Yeah, that's what I've threatened it with. One
- 11:48Speaker 1: Dodo said that they only wash hair on Friday nights
- 11:52Speaker 1: because apparently the knits they like clean hair, so you
- 11:56Speaker 1: wash it on the Friday, so it avoids having clean
- 11:58Speaker 1: hair at school where the kids are all grubby and
- 12:01Speaker 1: infested with Macy's hair.
- 12:04Speaker 3: It's like if it's stinkers getting washed and I'm like,
- 12:07Speaker 3: you need to wash your hair.
- 12:08Speaker 2: She's like no, she hates it.
- 12:11Speaker 1: It's like your hair stinks. Speaking of smelly hair, the
- 12:14Speaker 1: kids got their braids done in Bali. Oh yeah, and
- 12:17Speaker 1: last night came out well. Lola wanted to wear it
- 12:20Speaker 1: for one day to school and then Marley was like,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I think I've done time to get him out.
- 12:25Speaker 2: That's mature.
- 12:26Speaker 1: They haven't washed their hair and like in a long
- 12:28Speaker 1: time since Bali. Fucking hell do you have to get
- 12:31Speaker 1: him out? Took him took an hour and a half individual,
- 12:34Speaker 1: one by one, and I have to use he's a
- 12:37Speaker 1: fork which helped in the end to just like detangle
- 12:41Speaker 1: the braids. It was of arthritis.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And then I'm going to do Lola tonight. But apparently
- 12:47Speaker 1: conditioner where anyone has come back from Bali recently and
- 12:50Speaker 1: the kids have braids, if you take them out, conditioner
- 12:52Speaker 1: just peeps the conditional conditioner.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Yeah, you must loosen it up.
- 12:55Speaker 1: I guess that's well, yeah, there we go. Well said, oh,
- 12:59Speaker 1: you're actually ash. We have a question here before we
- 13:01Speaker 1: move on from housekeeping. It is crazy to think that
- 13:04Speaker 1: we're nearing towards the second half of the year. Now
- 13:06Speaker 1: we're in the second half. Were actually we are in
- 13:09Speaker 1: the second half of the year, Well said, thank you?
- 13:10Speaker 1: How did we get here? I don't know.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Well, you see, go on, time flies.
- 13:16Speaker 1: It does fly. It's getting the older, you get quicker quick.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Here it goes yow.
- 13:22Speaker 2: The slower I get though. Everything else getting quicker and
- 13:26Speaker 2: I'm getting slower.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yes, Sometimes when I drive around one die there's an
- 13:31Speaker 1: old man who walks a lot and he's very, very slow,
- 13:35Speaker 1: and I think to myself, will that be me? One day? Well,
- 13:38Speaker 1: I would be that old I.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Pulled into it, went to pull into the petrol station
- 13:41Speaker 3: last night, and there was a guy crossing the petrol
- 13:44Speaker 3: on the footpath crossing the petrol station driveway, and I
- 13:47Speaker 3: stopped to.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Let him cross.
- 13:48Speaker 3: But I realized that he was the slowest walker on
- 13:51Speaker 3: earth by the time he crossed.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Oh, traffic back to ar like a kilometer back.
- 13:56Speaker 3: You just nip in no, because I was like, I
- 13:58Speaker 3: didn't want to be about the bad guy.
- 14:00Speaker 2: I felt like he was too far across to me
- 14:02Speaker 2: to be like I was really nip in here. And
- 14:04Speaker 2: then I had to wait. It was like fifteen minutes
- 14:06Speaker 2: in crossing the road.
- 14:07Speaker 1: And he would have appreciated it.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Did I tell you about the person who beat me
- 14:10Speaker 3: when I was waiting for someone acrossing the road?
- 14:12Speaker 2: Go on, there's the intersection at the end of my street.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Is the main road in section.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Ok, it's a great road.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Pittwater Road for the potholes, Potwater Road whatever that the
- 14:22Speaker 3: lights there, it's one of those ones where it's like
- 14:24Speaker 3: when they're walking, light goes, you go once it's flashing
- 14:28Speaker 3: and they're all the way across, right sure, pretty standard,
- 14:31Speaker 3: very standard. There was someone coming across in one of
- 14:33Speaker 3: those motorized wheelchairs and the I stopped because I'm at
- 14:36Speaker 3: the front. So the person behind me beep, not knowing
- 14:39Speaker 3: it was a disabled person getting across the road.
- 14:41Speaker 2: They thought they and I was like ooh, And.
- 14:45Speaker 3: As I drove around the corner to look back, you
- 14:46Speaker 3: can just see the guy's face was like, oh shit.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Nothing makes you feel like a ship like than that.
- 14:52Speaker 3: I know it's not his body couldn't see, but you
- 14:54Speaker 3: know I wouldn't just be stopped there for no reason.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I'm impatient too. Anyway, Moving on.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Calendar though calendar it was a long way of getting
- 15:01Speaker 1: to work. Do we want to do them or not?
- 15:05Speaker 2: A good question?
- 15:06Speaker 1: And if we do them, how do we do them?
- 15:09Speaker 2: Another good question?
- 15:10Speaker 1: Very good question. Questions we're putting out just to the
- 15:13Speaker 1: orbit of the dotors.
- 15:15Speaker 2: All right, why don't we do a poll, let it
- 15:16Speaker 2: marinate and see what we come back.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Like, obviously it's more work, which we're happy to do
- 15:21Speaker 1: for them. But it's like it's like making dinner for
- 15:23Speaker 1: your child. If you guys aren't hungry, we're not going
- 15:25Speaker 1: to cook your dinner. No, no, okay. But if you're

- 15:57Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like, I'm going did you so vibe without me?
- 16:00Speaker 4: Or did I walk myself out of a job.
- 16:03Speaker 2: No, we got there in the end, lockey Field in
- 16:05Speaker 2: and he was met more or less. He just sat there.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Okay, Locky, if you're listening, he did a great job.
- 16:15Speaker 1: He would be fucking offended. Sorry, Locky, he did.
- 16:19Speaker 2: He did a great job.
- 16:20Speaker 1: And as she's like, he just sat there.
- 16:23Speaker 2: I was trying to make he did do a good job.
- 16:27Speaker 2: But it's good to have you back. If some of
- 16:29Speaker 2: the trip up for us.
- 16:30Speaker 1: What's Vietnam like?
- 16:32Speaker 4: Vietnam is beautiful and I would highly recommend with children. Okay,
- 16:37Speaker 4: we did a lot of theme parks.
- 16:38Speaker 2: It was like water parks.
- 16:39Speaker 4: There's like a Vietnam version of Disneyland they call it.
- 16:42Speaker 1: It was a bit too much for me. What I
- 16:45Speaker 1: couldn't your itinery was?
- 16:47Speaker 2: It was you did a lot of stuff. Yeahs a
- 16:50Speaker 2: bit much anyway, too much?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, funk, she's at it again. The
- 16:57Speaker 1: stamina on.
- 16:58Speaker 3: The I know.
- 16:59Speaker 2: I was like, do something else. You made us all bad.
- 17:02Speaker 2: That's what we're getting out here.
- 17:03Speaker 4: We only did like one thing a day, and then
- 17:05Speaker 4: we'd always have like if it was a big day
- 17:07Speaker 4: away or like get to a theme park or whatever,
- 17:09Speaker 4: we then have a day off like by the pool
- 17:11Speaker 4: the next day. So it was kind of like peaks
- 17:14Speaker 4: and troughs like it.
- 17:15Speaker 2: How how warm was it? How was it? How was it?
- 17:20Speaker 1: Two weeks?
- 17:22Speaker 4: It was really warm.
- 17:23Speaker 1: It was lovely.
- 17:24Speaker 4: But the second location we went to it was monsoon weather.
- 17:27Speaker 4: So that's when we had a lot of indoor time
- 17:31Speaker 4: because there was rain. But I did hear you mentioned
- 17:33Speaker 4: my camera on the podlast?
- 17:36Speaker 2: Yeah? Well we were really won.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Where did you lose it?
- 17:39Speaker 4: I never took it.
- 17:42Speaker 2: It's such a mom thing to do.
- 17:45Speaker 1: And then it's do you have multiple cameras?
- 17:48Speaker 4: No, I've only got the one camera.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Hang on a second, and it's not small.
- 17:51Speaker 2: You're talking about the good camera too, it's not small.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Surely I don't want to attack you here, but surely
- 17:57Speaker 1: you must do you did you think you used it?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Or did you not know? So happened?
- 18:02Speaker 2: Okay?
- 18:03Speaker 4: As soon as I arrived in Vietnam at the hotel,
- 18:06Speaker 4: which was around one am Sydney time, having left our
- 18:09Speaker 4: house at seven am Australia time. Yeah, so really long
- 18:13Speaker 4: day for all of us. I was in a daze
- 18:15Speaker 4: that whole week. I've been working till midnight, so I
- 18:17Speaker 4: was like, not myself?
- 18:20Speaker 1: Am I doing?
- 18:20Speaker 4: Dan was not impressed. However, I think I must have
- 18:24Speaker 4: made the decision right before we left that if I
- 18:26Speaker 4: took my camera it was actually going to be like
- 18:29Speaker 4: work for me because if I take photos on holiday,
- 18:33Speaker 4: I then have to upload them, edit them.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Explort them. And I was just like, yeah, that's great.
- 18:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I really just want to have a break because
- 18:39Speaker 4: as much as I love taking photos, and I feel
- 18:40Speaker 4: bad for my kids because I give photos to all
- 18:43Speaker 4: my clients and none to my own family. But I
- 18:48Speaker 4: got to the hotel in Vietnam and I as soon
- 18:51Speaker 4: as I put the suitcases down, I realized I didn't
- 18:54Speaker 4: have my camera bag, and I was like, fuck, I
- 18:56Speaker 4: don't have my camera bag. And I don't remember any
- 18:58Speaker 4: of the steps of the way here that I've had
- 19:01Speaker 4: my camera bag.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Oh god.
- 19:02Speaker 4: I was like, it definitely didn't come to Vietnam. It's
- 19:04Speaker 4: probably at Sydney Airport or it's at on the airplane.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Just what's that camera? Worth? Four grand?
- 19:13Speaker 3: It's a lot of money for a camera. And it's
- 19:15Speaker 3: like that feeling when you're like and then also when
- 19:17Speaker 3: you can't retrace your steps, especially ADHD.
- 19:20Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I'm like, I just do with that thing.
- 19:22Speaker 1: And then someone from the outside is like, what you
- 19:24Speaker 1: did this?
- 19:25Speaker 2: You did that? Remember any of that?
- 19:27Speaker 1: I know?
- 19:27Speaker 4: And my friend was like, you would know, like you'd
- 19:29Speaker 4: remember putting it on or taking it off, like you
- 19:31Speaker 4: remember those specific steps, And I was like.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Actually can't.
- 19:34Speaker 4: I was like, did I put it under the seat
- 19:35Speaker 4: in the car. Did I put it under the seat
- 19:36Speaker 4: in the plane? And I went to Lost and Found,
- 19:39Speaker 4: I called the airline, I did all the steps. I
- 19:41Speaker 4: even looked at my insurance and said I could only
- 19:43Speaker 4: claim it if it was stolen.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Did you want to speak to someone in Sydney to
- 19:47Speaker 1: go to your house to look?
- 19:48Speaker 4: And so luckily there was someone staying in our house
- 19:51Speaker 4: and I asked them and they said they couldn't find
- 19:54Speaker 4: it anywhere.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Was this a man?
- 19:55Speaker 1: It wasn't sparking out. He would have been looking right camera.
- 20:03Speaker 1: He would have been holding it being like, we're not
- 20:06Speaker 1: going to tell you it was here, but camera.
- 20:10Speaker 4: So then we were funny say that though, because we
- 20:13Speaker 4: got back and I looked around, I'm.
- 20:14Speaker 1: Like, funk, where is it?
- 20:15Speaker 4: It's nowhere, like where have I lost it? And then
- 20:17Speaker 4: I was just about to get in the current got
- 20:19Speaker 4: a camera house to buy a new one because I
- 20:20Speaker 4: had two shoots the next day, and Dan goes, I
- 20:24Speaker 4: found your camera and I'm like, where is it? And
- 20:29Speaker 4: it was under we have this BedHead that's old sitting
- 20:31Speaker 4: at our front already to go to trash. It was
- 20:34Speaker 4: between the wall and the BedHead, like in this little crack.
- 20:38Speaker 2: And so I was like, did the kids put it there?
- 20:40Speaker 1: Blame the kids?
- 20:41Speaker 2: Yeah, you must have done on the way out.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Yeah, Or maybe I just tucked it in there because
- 20:45Speaker 4: I knew someone was staying and I didn't want it
- 20:47Speaker 4: to get to it. I don't know, but I have
- 20:49Speaker 4: my cameras.
- 20:54Speaker 1: It was not.
- 20:55Speaker 4: Cocktail related, as you do.
- 20:58Speaker 1: We say that we did. Yeah, I don't know if
- 21:01Speaker 1: we said that.
- 21:01Speaker 2: And Dan was really loving all the photos.
- 21:03Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he hates the photo. He's just like your ash.
- 21:06Speaker 4: He also hates a water park.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Hate water Who was a family.
- 21:13Speaker 4: Yeah, they were from my mother's group when I had
- 21:16Speaker 4: Louis from Bondy. But there was one thing that happened
- 21:21Speaker 4: on the holiday that I really wanted to ask about
- 21:23Speaker 4: because I was really shocked by this and I would
- 21:26Speaker 4: love to know because you guys are quite frequent flyers
- 21:29Speaker 4: and I've attack kind of When we got to the
- 21:34Speaker 4: flight on the way home, it was fully booked and
- 21:37Speaker 4: we couldn't because of the transfers and stuff like, we
- 21:40Speaker 4: couldn't really check in online. And we got there and
- 21:44Speaker 4: all four of us were seated separately on the flight home,
- 21:48Speaker 4: and it was a red eye kids I'm talking about
- 21:50Speaker 4: my three year old daughter, a six year old son,
- 21:53Speaker 4: and me and Dan all seated separately. What did they
- 21:56Speaker 4: say the checking desk when I checked in because it
- 21:59Speaker 4: was a trans for again, They're like, we can't do
- 22:01Speaker 4: anything here. You've got to talk to the staff when
- 22:04Speaker 4: you see that.
- 22:05Speaker 2: That's such a like.
- 22:08Speaker 1: I help you, but I can my mum.
- 22:10Speaker 4: Rage was like getting higher. I was curious and I
- 22:14Speaker 4: was starting to like, you know when you feel like
- 22:16Speaker 4: you're gonna cry, because I was like, I kept thinking
- 22:18Speaker 4: of the worst scenarios as a mother of like if
- 22:20Speaker 4: someone slips a hand under the blanket because it's a
- 22:23Speaker 4: red eye, like to my daughter or my son, or
- 22:25Speaker 4: like if something happens I can't see that because I'm
- 22:28Speaker 4: not near them. And so I went to the airline
- 22:30Speaker 4: as soon as I got there, and I said, can
- 22:31Speaker 4: you please help me? And all they did was they
- 22:36Speaker 4: couldn't figure out anyway. The flight was fully booked, including
- 22:40Speaker 4: first class.
- 22:41Speaker 2: You imagine getting first class, Oh no, with the whole
- 22:44Speaker 2: family in first.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Class, And.
- 22:50Speaker 4: So I actually saw them approaching people who were traveling
- 22:53Speaker 4: solo and saying, can you swap your seat? And that
- 22:56Speaker 4: was the only way they were able to do it
- 22:58Speaker 4: just before they got into the place.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Something to do that though, But like to put you
- 23:02Speaker 3: in that position to start off with, surely it has
- 23:04Speaker 3: You've got to put date of birth, everything on past.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Yeah, should be all connected.
- 23:08Speaker 4: But it is illegal because a child anywhere, everywhere, a
- 23:12Speaker 4: child isn't allowed on a flight without a guardian, So
- 23:16Speaker 4: why wouldn't you have them seated with a guardian?
- 23:19Speaker 2: That's strange. Yeah, so you just end up sitting together
- 23:22Speaker 2: in the end.
- 23:24Speaker 4: Okay, both fly. Dan got his own seat by himself,
- 23:30Speaker 4: and then it's me and the two kids together. But
- 23:32Speaker 4: this one, I was me on one side of the
- 23:34Speaker 4: aisle and then the two kids on the other side
- 23:36Speaker 4: of the aisle, so whenever the cart was in between us,
- 23:38Speaker 4: it wasn't possible.
- 23:39Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh my god. Dan just coming up. He's
- 23:43Speaker 2: just like I'm not going to say anything here and
- 23:44Speaker 2: just see how this plane's out.
- 23:46Speaker 1: For me, Like, hey, actually, my kids aren't three and five,
- 23:49Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty one separate us.
- 23:51Speaker 2: All sit me first class?
- 23:53Speaker 1: Great? Thank you.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Oh I'm glad you made it back in one piece
- 23:55Speaker 3: with a camera, all your kids and that you were
- 23:58Speaker 3: able to have it did look like a good trip
- 23:59Speaker 3: from the outside.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Look looked like a great trip to Welcome back.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Now straight to work. What have we got news? Are
- 24:06Speaker 1: you want to talk about masturbating? Which is interesting topic
- 24:09Speaker 1: to choose, zig, but go ahead take it away.
- 24:12Speaker 4: I noticed you chose an ejaculation story for breaking news
- 24:15Speaker 4: in my absence, so.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Love so convenient. It was a.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Little it was Locky who chose it?
- 24:23Speaker 2: Yeah, it was all Locky.
- 24:24Speaker 3: He was like, let's talk about gum and then I said,
- 24:27Speaker 3: what about a buffey and come buffy?
- 24:29Speaker 4: Okay, Well, this story is actually about New York. So
- 24:33Speaker 4: New York City's trialing a first of its kind policy
- 24:35Speaker 4: giving parents something they rarely get.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Time.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Mayor Zoran Mumdani has launched a free parents' night out program,
- 24:44Speaker 4: offering supervised childcare so moms and dads can enjoy a
- 24:48Speaker 4: few hours to themselves. The initiative is being praised for
- 24:51Speaker 4: recognizing that modern parents don't just need financial support, they
- 24:55Speaker 4: need a break too.
- 24:57Speaker 2: He's like, just put your keys in this bowl here.
- 25:02Speaker 1: How logistically how are they doing that? I mean, that's
- 25:06Speaker 1: that's like, who's.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Going to look after all these kids?
- 25:08Speaker 4: So children at age six to thirteen, we'll spend the
- 25:11Speaker 4: evening at local recreation centers, participating in sports, arts and crafts, games,
- 25:15Speaker 4: nature activities and media education with dinner provided.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I reckon, even if you put a gun to like
- 25:21Speaker 1: the premier's head here in New South Wales, they wouldn't
- 25:23Speaker 1: be able to organize that. They'd be like, oh, it'd
- 25:26Speaker 1: be like organizing the Olympics they did four years and
- 25:28Speaker 1: they need to build like buildings for it.
- 25:30Speaker 2: There's no way.
- 25:30Speaker 1: How are they doing that in New York If it's.
- 25:33Speaker 4: And the population in New York as well, is that
- 25:37Speaker 4: is insane?
- 25:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
- 25:39Speaker 2: I'm just trying to think logistically how that would work.
- 25:41Speaker 1: It's insanely amazing. But maybe unless it's like school and
- 25:44Speaker 1: they're just saying, like the teachers, the teachers are like,
- 25:47Speaker 1: we're doing what now?
- 25:48Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like overtime mentory. You're not paying a shut.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Like that's brilliant. The teachers and everything like this sucks and.
- 25:56Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I think I reckon.
- 25:58Speaker 3: If you're like a workplace and you put on something
- 26:01Speaker 3: like that to get a little bit more morale out
- 26:03Speaker 3: of the parents and stuff, But to do a whole
- 26:05Speaker 3: city and.
- 26:07Speaker 2: The biggest city in the world, they've got a big park.
- 26:09Speaker 4: I guess I was thinking that the reason they're doing
- 26:12Speaker 4: it is to help with the declining birth rate and
- 26:15Speaker 4: give parents a chance to have sex.
- 26:17Speaker 1: The bears just a big horn dog and you're all
- 26:20Speaker 1: getting free lubricant and then contraceptive. They just kind of
- 26:27Speaker 1: played Barry White the streets and.
- 26:30Speaker 2: All the kids are away, the parents having sex on.
- 26:32Speaker 1: The street, and I'm going to put cameras in every room.
- 26:37Speaker 2: How do I tap into that feed?
- 26:39Speaker 1: Whish you got in New York?
- 26:40Speaker 2: Wait, let's in nine months time. Let's all just see
- 26:43Speaker 2: what the birth rate is in New York.
- 26:44Speaker 1: So I wonder if it'll work. Genius is very good,
- 26:47Speaker 1: it is, and he's just a big old pervert.
- 26:49Speaker 3: There's definitely a tax ki back somewhere, Like, why would.
- 26:51Speaker 4: You sure a lot of these endors are already set up
- 26:54Speaker 4: for that? I will say in Sydney there's a lot
- 26:56Speaker 4: of daycares who do like parents' night out, So if
- 26:58Speaker 4: you keep your there for a little bit later than normal,
- 27:01Speaker 4: I think they shut at eight instead of six, and
- 27:03Speaker 4: then parents can have a date and then pick up
- 27:06Speaker 4: their child.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Oh like a little early dinner.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never seen that done before.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I can just picture the teachers going right, eight o'clock, right, kids,
- 27:15Speaker 3: you're stuck.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Now, off they go, and then all the parents get off.
- 27:19Speaker 1: But you have to what can you do eight o'clock late?
- 27:22Speaker 1: Is it? You wan un till ten o'clock at least
- 27:25Speaker 1: having dinner, and then that you do before you go
- 27:30Speaker 1: before dinner.
- 27:31Speaker 2: I don't want to go on full stomach.
- 27:33Speaker 5: No.
- 27:33Speaker 2: No, okay, thank you, Vig, thank you, thank you for
- 27:36Speaker 2: the news. It's good to have you back.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Ash. I've got a real conundrum. Sex with my wife
- 27:41Speaker 1: or doco with my mum. You seem nervous because she
- 27:45Speaker 1: doesn't like talking about it in the pocket, but I talked.
- 27:47Speaker 1: She talks about She talks so much about you that
- 27:50Speaker 1: she would have the issue of my household is that
- 27:53Speaker 1: I'm not spending enough time with Nana. The way my
- 27:57Speaker 1: afternoon routine is, I pick up the kids, We do dinner,
- 28:00Speaker 1: We put the kids in the bath, get them into
- 28:02Speaker 1: bed where you have someone to eat, clean the house,
- 28:05Speaker 1: and then I have like an hour I can just
- 28:07Speaker 1: do one last little blitz on work on the laptop, right,
- 28:10Speaker 1: and then I go to bed. And then the issue
- 28:12Speaker 1: is Nana, who's been so patient all day waiting for
- 28:16Speaker 1: some type of interaction. She's like, what do your guy's doing,
- 28:20Speaker 1: and we're like, don't.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Have sex, fuck off and we're like no, Nana, like
- 28:24Speaker 2: not now, Nana.
- 28:25Speaker 1: And I've got, like, you know, so much to do.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I'm a busy guy. You just got the direction of emails,
- 28:31Speaker 1: thank you very much. And then Laura's kind of said,
- 28:35Speaker 1: you know, you need to be able to spend more
- 28:36Speaker 1: time with Nana, you know, because she really wants it.
- 28:40Speaker 1: And it's you know, it's been a number of months
- 28:42Speaker 1: now that we've just not having the quality time. I
- 28:44Speaker 1: think the issue of having your parents live with you
- 28:48Speaker 1: is that where they're always there, you know, you don't
- 28:50Speaker 1: value the time as much when you you know, when
- 28:52Speaker 1: helping is your mum in town.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Like a lot, but too much.
- 28:56Speaker 1: When she's in town, you know, you give her the
- 28:58Speaker 1: attention she deserves. I'm a s because you're a great sign.
- 29:00Speaker 3: It's more she doesn't give me the attention I deserve. Okay,
- 29:04Speaker 3: she's spending a lot more time with one side of.
- 29:06Speaker 2: The family, and I want to go into it.
- 29:11Speaker 1: There's always there's always one favorite fan like child family,
- 29:15Speaker 1: but I need I need to spend more time with
- 29:17Speaker 1: my mum. Right, And if there's one thing my mom likes,
- 29:20Speaker 1: it's watching a little bit of TV. Yeah.
- 29:22Speaker 2: She loves news.
- 29:23Speaker 1: She loves the news. And if there's one thing she
- 29:25Speaker 1: loves more than the news, it's a docco And to
- 29:28Speaker 1: be really specific, world War two that is her jam.

- 35:32Speaker 1: you're exhausted. No, it's not, no, not gonna happen.
- 35:35Speaker 2: We make it happen.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because you know what. You guys are horn dogs.
- 35:41Speaker 3: Thank you. Speaking of horn dogs, I was betrayed at
- 35:46Speaker 3: the highest order.
- 35:46Speaker 1: Who was it?
- 35:48Speaker 2: My wife?
- 35:48Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah.
- 35:50Speaker 3: So I was out of the house, okay, and I
- 35:53Speaker 3: have come home unexpectedly, all right over the weekend, sort
- 35:58Speaker 3: of will let myself into my own house as I'm
- 36:00Speaker 3: allowed to do. And I opened the door and I
- 36:03Speaker 3: was frozen with the sight that I was met with
- 36:08Speaker 3: my wife laid out on the couch.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Okay, watching football.
- 36:14Speaker 1: What.
- 36:14Speaker 2: I have never been so betrayed in my life.
- 36:17Speaker 4: I thought you would have been turned on.
- 36:18Speaker 1: Yeah, that's low.
- 36:19Speaker 2: I'm betrayed. Turned on later, let me get there. But
- 36:22Speaker 2: I walk in and I was like, hey.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Can I just suggest one thing. Was there someone else
- 36:28Speaker 1: in your house? Maybe that made a quick escape, but
- 36:30Speaker 1: as they heard you coming up the spell. Definitely not
- 36:34Speaker 1: not to plant that seed. April was a very loyal woman,
- 36:38Speaker 1: and I know I was like, what was she watching?
- 36:40Speaker 1: What game? What game?
- 36:41Speaker 2: Was it? Again?
- 36:42Speaker 1: Was it manly? At least? No?
- 36:44Speaker 2: It was Newcastle and Cronulla?
- 36:46Speaker 1: Damn it?
- 36:47Speaker 2: She was watching you go on.
- 36:48Speaker 3: Probably anyway I've walked in, I've opened the door and
- 36:51Speaker 3: born their years and I was like, hey, what are
- 36:52Speaker 3: you do?
- 36:53Speaker 2: What is this?
- 36:54Speaker 3: And like, of all the games that we could have
- 36:56Speaker 3: watched together, of all the times we could have spoken
- 36:59Speaker 3: about football, She's like, yeah, I'm.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Quite into it.
- 37:01Speaker 1: She didn't tell me.
- 37:03Speaker 2: I feel betrayed.
- 37:05Speaker 1: I don't understand. I'm confused.
- 37:07Speaker 2: What do you mean you confused?
- 37:08Speaker 1: She just all of a sudden was like, oh, let's
- 37:10Speaker 1: see what's on the TV guide. Oh, Cranala is playing. Yeah,
- 37:13Speaker 1: I'll watch it. Yeah. Like something must have spurred her.
- 37:16Speaker 3: But if I suggested, well she watched football against you're like,
- 37:18Speaker 3: h I'm a right, Like I watched football because she
- 37:21Speaker 3: doesn't want to.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Watch her she understand the rule? Yeah, who He's taught
- 37:24Speaker 1: her I don't know.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I feel betrayed, That's what I mean.
- 37:27Speaker 1: I think she's having an affair with who better.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Be handsome, I mean athletic.
- 37:33Speaker 1: He is an NRL player, damn it.
- 37:35Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, did.
- 37:37Speaker 1: You watch it together?
- 37:37Speaker 4: At least?
- 37:38Speaker 1: Like, did you finish the game together?
- 37:39Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 37:40Speaker 3: We finished the game and I was like, there's another
- 37:41Speaker 3: game on after this. She was just like, no, fuck off.
- 37:44Speaker 2: But I was like, of all the times that it's like, oh,
- 37:48Speaker 2: you know how we do this thing where it's like
- 37:50Speaker 2: I do you want to watch something? And we never agree.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Now they're option of foot is on the table, taking
- 37:55Speaker 2: to Manley. She has been a manly games but she
- 37:57Speaker 2: only goes with the kids.
- 37:59Speaker 1: This is this is right. You guys have got you know.
- 38:01Speaker 1: This is like imagine if I came home and Laura
- 38:03Speaker 1: was watching a World War two docco, I would love it.
- 38:07Speaker 1: That would be heaven on her. This is a great result.
- 38:10Speaker 1: Not betrayed. I think this is okay, this is this
- 38:13Speaker 1: is a positive.
- 38:13Speaker 2: At first, I was betrayed. No, and that because it
- 38:16Speaker 2: was like I felt like.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Maybe she was trying to like understand the game without
- 38:21Speaker 1: you there, so that she could be like, oh, Nico's
- 38:23Speaker 1: playing well, he scored to try is he playing well?
- 38:26Speaker 2: It is? I was like, what are you looking at?
- 38:29Speaker 2: My wife quite likes biceps. I know that about her.
- 38:32Speaker 2: He doesn't okay, keep your hand wow wow? And I
- 38:36Speaker 2: was like, what are you looking at? I hang it like,
- 38:38Speaker 2: I was like, what are you watching?
- 38:39Speaker 1: How do you know she likes biceps?
- 38:40Speaker 3: I just I know I know what she likes over many,
- 38:43Speaker 3: many years of observation and flexing in front of it.
- 38:51Speaker 1: What do you think about this? So she's a bicep guy?
- 38:53Speaker 1: What are you?
- 38:54Speaker 2: I'm like, what am I?
- 38:56Speaker 1: Oh?
- 38:56Speaker 2: A buck guy?
- 38:57Speaker 1: You're a big buck guy.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Thank you. But anyway, I was like, what are you
- 39:00Speaker 2: watch it? Like, I'm like staring at their bicyle and
- 39:04Speaker 2: was like, no.
- 39:05Speaker 1: A little bit of insecurity for me. That's cute, thank you.
- 39:08Speaker 2: I got to keep her on a toast sometimes.
- 39:09Speaker 3: So anyway, apparently April has been watching football without me,
- 39:13Speaker 3: and at first I was betrayed. I felt betrayed, But
- 39:15Speaker 3: now I feel like there's an opportunity for when she says,
- 39:19Speaker 3: hey we should watch something and I can be like football.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Actually I did try it already.
- 39:22Speaker 2: I lied. I was like, hey, we got a TV
- 39:25Speaker 2: in the bedroom. I was like, wow, you know, oh wow.
- 39:28Speaker 1: She was like no, it must be nice. She was like,
- 39:30Speaker 1: oh no, what's how big is it?
- 39:33Speaker 2: Thirty two inches?
- 39:33Speaker 1: Oh bloody Holly d shut us by a bright new
- 39:37Speaker 1: car as well.

- 39:43Speaker 2: we can move this to the bedroom. She's like forty
- 39:45Speaker 2: of the bedroom.
- 39:46Speaker 1: I was like, damn it.
- 39:47Speaker 2: I'm trying to get all the worlds in.
- 39:48Speaker 1: One very like there's all these rules to figure out,
- 39:51Speaker 1: and I'm all these new rules. It's Thursday.
- 39:54Speaker 2: I'm like, think about we could eat. We could eat,
- 39:56Speaker 2: watch footy and have sex in bed all at the
- 39:58Speaker 2: same time.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, what else can you guys do together? Play
- 40:05Speaker 1: the pokes?
- 40:06Speaker 2: Nah in there.
- 40:09Speaker 1: Actually we were at the RSL on Friday, and I
- 40:11Speaker 1: sometimes forget, like I'll just watch like the football's on
- 40:14Speaker 1: and I'll just watch it, and I sometimes you got
- 40:16Speaker 1: to try and include the kids, right, You got to
- 40:18Speaker 1: try and like bring them into your interests. And Marley
- 40:20Speaker 1: was like, what is it? What's happening here? And it
- 40:23Speaker 1: was a game between actually it was the Dolphins versus
- 40:26Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and there was like three tries in the
- 40:28Speaker 1: last five minutes. Oh yeah, tries are very exciting. And
- 40:32Speaker 1: it was so nice because I was like, what they're
- 40:34Speaker 1: trying to do, Marley, You got the football field, You've
- 40:36Speaker 1: got six tackles to try and get to your try line.
- 40:38Speaker 1: If you can't do it, six tackles, hand the ball over,
- 40:40Speaker 1: the other team has to go. And she was like, Okay,
- 40:43Speaker 1: I kind of get it. Get all these tries. She
- 40:45Speaker 1: was like this is great.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Wow.
- 40:47Speaker 1: She was like, fucking hell, so much is happening? Like
- 40:49Speaker 1: how many points there are? Because kids love.
- 40:51Speaker 2: They love them?
- 40:52Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what oscars I reckon his favorite part of
- 40:54Speaker 3: the whole thing.
- 40:55Speaker 1: She's like, thirty two.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Wow is the points. And it's like the problem is
- 40:59Speaker 2: with bringing them.
- 41:00Speaker 3: Into your world is that you And I've found this
- 41:03Speaker 3: out the hard way on the weekend when my football
- 41:05Speaker 3: team seemed to not be doing very well and Oscar
- 41:08Speaker 3: lives and breathes this football team, the Manly Seagulls.
- 41:11Speaker 2: And I've been watching them lose.
- 41:15Speaker 1: They had a good run for anyone who's unfamiliar with
- 41:18Speaker 1: the NRL season, manly new coach doing fantastic. All of
- 41:22Speaker 1: a sudden, what the wheels fall off?
- 41:24Speaker 3: And I took him last week where to the game
- 41:27Speaker 3: itself where we were ahead, but me, being the old
- 41:30Speaker 3: head and been watching them for years, could tell they're
- 41:33Speaker 3: going to come back and win this game.
- 41:35Speaker 2: He was in tears there, so I to carry him
- 41:38Speaker 2: home from there.
- 41:39Speaker 1: This is resilience buildings, I said every time, I'm like, bro,
- 41:44Speaker 1: get used to it, right, it's thirty five years of
- 41:46Speaker 1: turmoil for me in the quitter, get used to a kid.
- 41:50Speaker 2: You'll get there.
- 41:50Speaker 1: This is his live Yeah.
- 41:52Speaker 2: And then going into the game we just had at home.
- 41:55Speaker 3: I was quite boisterous at the TV a couple of
- 41:57Speaker 3: times because I was frustrated, and that's fair.
- 42:01Speaker 2: I'm not to be frustrated. But then I realized that
- 42:04Speaker 2: to go for a walk.
- 42:05Speaker 3: I had to go for a little mental health walk
- 42:07Speaker 3: because I was so frustrated that he was starting to
- 42:10Speaker 3: mimic the behavior.
- 42:11Speaker 2: What do you mean so like the behavior of I'm
- 42:15Speaker 2: annoyed about it, and like sports fans yell at TV,
- 42:18Speaker 2: we yell at TV.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Guilty.
- 42:20Speaker 3: You know it happens, but I don't want him to
- 42:22Speaker 3: be then go into the next phase of his life
- 42:26Speaker 3: thinking that that's normal and acceptable, because if we look
- 42:29Speaker 3: at World Cup, England lose Okay, the calls to the
- 42:33Speaker 3: Triple one or Triple zero for them over there about
- 42:35Speaker 3: domestic violence is unbelievably high, Like it is to a
- 42:39Speaker 3: point where people are quitting their jobs in the call
- 42:41Speaker 3: center because it's so horrible. So that now I saw
- 42:45Speaker 3: firsthand of him, sort of, I wasn't over the top.
- 42:48Speaker 2: I would have been, according to people who don't watch sport,
- 42:51Speaker 2: but I was like, pretty like what the fuck are
- 42:53Speaker 2: they doing?
- 42:53Speaker 3: Like having a bit of a winge, And I could
- 42:55Speaker 3: see he was picking up on that energy too, and
- 42:58Speaker 3: I was like, Okay, well, well, I would hate for
- 43:02Speaker 3: him to notice how I talk about that sort of
- 43:05Speaker 3: thing and think it's completely acceptable moving into the next
- 43:07Speaker 3: phase of his life when he grows up and you know,
- 43:09Speaker 3: like I don't want I don't.
- 43:10Speaker 1: Want to because crying, I guess crying. It's actually great
- 43:14Speaker 1: that he's crying, right, that he has an outlet that
- 43:16Speaker 1: he can let that emotion out. And if you're not saying, hey,
- 43:20Speaker 1: suck it up, you know, be a man. If you're
- 43:22Speaker 1: allowing that emotion to come out and it's not being suppressed,
- 43:24Speaker 1: it's actually really yeah, that's a really mature situation for
- 43:29Speaker 1: him to be in.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Yeah, that I don't have a problem with because yes,
- 43:32Speaker 3: it's feelings, right, and it's okay for him to be
- 43:34Speaker 3: angry with his footy team. But it's just I always
- 43:37Speaker 3: say to him when he loses Uno or something, I'm like.
- 43:40Speaker 2: It's okay to be sad, but it's how you act.
- 43:42Speaker 3: Okay, you shake everyone's hand, you can, you can be
- 43:45Speaker 3: sad about it, but how you act towards others.
- 43:48Speaker 2: And I was doing I wasn't preaching what I sewd
- 43:52Speaker 2: to whatever that saying is. But then I started to
- 43:55Speaker 2: think about it later on in that night where it
- 43:56Speaker 2: was like all.
- 43:57Speaker 3: Of the news that came out around that, which is
- 44:00Speaker 3: absolutely horrific.
- 44:02Speaker 2: And I was like, fuck, imagine all those people that
- 44:05Speaker 2: are like that had learnt it from somewhere.
- 44:08Speaker 3: And I don't want it to be a situation where
- 44:10Speaker 3: I want him to encourage his football team.
- 44:12Speaker 2: I wanted to be able to express his emotions.
- 44:14Speaker 3: I don't want him to place it and get aggressive
- 44:16Speaker 3: and place it in the wrong space.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Anyway. That's beautiful.
- 44:20Speaker 4: I think that's actually a really beautiful lesson.
- 44:22Speaker 3: You're trying to thank you, thank you, But now mum
- 44:24Speaker 3: can watch footy too. She'll shut me up.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Because I mean, it's just like I have emotions too.
- 44:29Speaker 1: I'd like to say that as an anger problem. But
- 44:31Speaker 1: what she like when mainly starts losing, she's.
- 44:34Speaker 3: Actually pretty level headed because I'm like, turn it off.
- 44:36Speaker 1: Didn't she didn't? She did she throw into the kick
- 44:40Speaker 1: a hole in the wall.
- 44:42Speaker 4: That wasn't sport related.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Imagine mum rage when it means sport rage.
- 44:49Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think she she doesn't.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Just all of is be careful.
- 44:53Speaker 3: She's pretty competitive, but I think she's really only competitive.
- 44:57Speaker 2: In what she's doing, not what she's viewing.
- 44:59Speaker 3: I think she would see a team lose and go
- 45:01Speaker 3: it's a bum up man, you know, and like it'd
- 45:04Speaker 3: be nice to have that as well instead of like
- 45:07Speaker 3: it dictating my whole mood. I had to go for
- 45:10Speaker 3: a fucking walk and then when I get back, I'm like,
- 45:12Speaker 3: I feel like a fucking child, like a child, just
- 45:14Speaker 3: the way that sometimes I can. You can act because
- 45:18Speaker 3: the emotion does take over.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Mate. It's wild how much your team loses, how much
- 45:24Speaker 1: influences your mood. But yeah, to know that there's other
- 45:27Speaker 1: families out there that are experiencing it to the point
- 45:30Speaker 1: of violence, it's horrific.
- 45:33Speaker 3: I'd hate for him to grow up and then me
- 45:35Speaker 3: look at that and go, Okay, he's modeled his behavior
- 45:37Speaker 3: off me, and it's not it's no good.
- 45:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 45:39Speaker 2: So that that and that was just a.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Thought I had, and I thought, okay, well, now I've
- 45:43Speaker 3: got to be really careful around how I perceive things
- 45:48Speaker 3: and express things vocally.
- 45:50Speaker 1: You know what I started saying, which is really bad
- 45:52Speaker 1: is when the kids are like, but I want that,
- 45:54Speaker 1: I don't care, and then they start when I'm like,
- 45:57Speaker 1: you need to brush your hair, They're like, no, I
- 45:59Speaker 1: don't care. They're little sponges, and little sponges did everything
- 46:03Speaker 1: you do? They like pick up on it, and I'm like,
- 46:05Speaker 1: kind of breathe properly without you guys copying me.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it's when you want them to model the good behavior, yes,
- 46:12Speaker 3: but then when you pick up on the bad behavior.
- 46:14Speaker 2: Like sometimes sometimes I've heard him like talk to talk.
- 46:17Speaker 3: To his sister just in a way that maybe I've
- 46:20Speaker 3: spoken to someone else or had a laugh for someone
- 46:22Speaker 3: else he doesn't quite understand, or and I'm like, oh.
- 46:25Speaker 2: Fuck you forget so quickly.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Can I just say credit where credit is due that
- 46:29Speaker 1: level of self awareness? Thank you, very very good thank
- 46:32Speaker 1: you very good. I mean I imagine if we all
- 46:35Speaker 1: had that same level of self awareness and be aware
- 46:38Speaker 1: of our actions are to be a beautiful place.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I just have to make sure I practice it now.
- 46:42Speaker 3: I mean it's one thing to acknowledge it, which is
- 46:44Speaker 3: a start, But then the next thing is that we're
- 46:46Speaker 3: going to have a lot of years ahead of us
- 46:48Speaker 3: of watching the football.
- 46:49Speaker 2: Our football team lose, but I.
- 46:51Speaker 3: Like I always say to him as well, like I'm
- 46:53Speaker 3: always like, look, we're gonna win some, we're gonna lose some.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Okay, It's just the way it is. Everything is like that.
- 46:58Speaker 3: Every situation you're going to come across in your life,
- 47:00Speaker 3: you're going to win some of it, you're going to
- 47:02Speaker 3: lose some of it. But depending on how you express
- 47:04Speaker 3: that emotion outwards will depend on how people are going
- 47:07Speaker 3: to view you and how you view yourself.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Yeah, what's said, thank you? Do you talk to your
- 47:12Speaker 1: kids about death?
- 47:13Speaker 3: Oh? Not like the regular but like I definitely they're
- 47:18Speaker 3: aware of the concept of death.
- 47:20Speaker 2: Because you're fortunate that you haven't really had we haven't
- 47:22Speaker 2: really hit.
- 47:23Speaker 1: That people are Obviously, when someone within the family passes away,
- 47:27Speaker 1: it's then the catalyst to then explain to them that
- 47:30Speaker 1: life moment.
- 47:31Speaker 2: Yeah right, we haven't got that yet.
- 47:33Speaker 1: And I'm having these like really amazing chats with the
- 47:36Speaker 1: girls two moments in the day. One is when I'm
- 47:39Speaker 1: driving the car with them and we have a really
- 47:41Speaker 1: good chat. The other time is after we read a
- 47:43Speaker 1: book we have a little chill in bed, and then
- 47:46Speaker 1: we have these like little moments, especially with Marley, where
- 47:49Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm really it's different to you know,
- 47:52Speaker 1: when you're just like talking to your kid, but we're
- 47:54Speaker 1: actually like having a real strong back and forth.
- 47:57Speaker 3: Curiosity really takes over. Yeah, and it's it's actually like
- 48:01Speaker 3: I noticed it same with like Oscar as well at
- 48:04Speaker 3: that age, where it's a different type of conversation because
- 48:07Speaker 3: he's actually engaged instead of.
- 48:09Speaker 2: Just saying what's on this? What do we do next?
- 48:12Speaker 2: But it's it's you're.
- 48:13Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, he might have It's funny that you
- 48:17Speaker 3: pick up the nonsense questions and the genuine questions, right, and.
- 48:22Speaker 1: When it's one on one, I'm like, oh wow, this
- 48:25Speaker 1: is this is different. So we're talking about death, and
- 48:27Speaker 1: the way that we explain it is that you know,
- 48:28Speaker 1: it's very matter of fact that when you pass away
- 48:31Speaker 1: you know that is that is it? And then sometimes
- 48:33Speaker 1: Mary will say like, oh, you know when you die
- 48:36Speaker 1: your eyes closed? Are they open? And You're like, oh,
- 48:39Speaker 1: make it easy.
- 48:40Speaker 2: It depends on the murder. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
- 48:47Speaker 3: Well it was blood forced trauma to the head, so yeah,
- 48:49Speaker 3: eyes were open.
- 48:51Speaker 1: Let's look at some photos and I'm like, I'll just
- 48:54Speaker 1: keep it easier. Yeah, when you pass away, you close
- 48:56Speaker 1: your eyes and then we say, you know that is
- 48:58Speaker 1: you're no longer around, but you have a soul. Your
- 49:00Speaker 1: soul goes up into the sky. And then we say
- 49:02Speaker 1: that the stars, like you know that they're the people
- 49:05Speaker 1: that are passed away. So that star you know, that's Papa,
- 49:08Speaker 1: you know. And she understands it, and she's like okay,
- 49:11Speaker 1: So the cogs are turning and I can see that
- 49:12Speaker 1: she's asking some more questions. And then she's like, but
- 49:15Speaker 1: then will I will I see you in heaven? And
- 49:19Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, yeah, like well you know when I'm
- 49:22Speaker 1: up there and I'll wait for you. And she's like, well,
- 49:24Speaker 1: how how will I find you? Like how will I
- 49:28Speaker 1: find you in heaven? And I'm like, oh, you know,
- 49:31Speaker 1: like fuck, how do I answer that? And I'm like yeah,
- 49:34Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, it's I was like, oh fuck,
- 49:36Speaker 1: I'm really popping on the spot here. And I was like,
- 49:39Speaker 1: I guess it's the same way as when we walk
- 49:43Speaker 1: home from school. You know the direction, right, And she's
- 49:47Speaker 1: like yeah, and you just haven't memorized. And I was like,
- 49:49Speaker 1: when we're in heaven, you'll just you'll know how to
- 49:52Speaker 1: find me. And she's like, oh yeah, She's like I
- 49:55Speaker 1: get it.
- 49:58Speaker 3: With those sort of conversation, it's like it's a it
- 50:02Speaker 3: is a reality, the fact that it's part of life is.
- 50:04Speaker 2: Dying, right, Yeah.
- 50:05Speaker 3: And then those questions that come from her is like
- 50:08Speaker 3: where do I how do I find you? Because you're
- 50:12Speaker 3: also as well, you probably think I don't want you
- 50:13Speaker 3: to be helpless in that situation.
- 50:15Speaker 1: So yeah, it's and then she's like anyway, good night,
- 50:20Speaker 1: and I'm like far out.
- 50:22Speaker 2: You're just waiting for season two of this conversation.
- 50:24Speaker 1: You're like, I'm here. Yeah, And you have these little
- 50:27Speaker 1: milestone moments in these conversations where you're like, oh, these
- 50:31Speaker 1: you know, in my head you kind of think that
- 50:32Speaker 1: painting is always just going to be you and this
- 50:35Speaker 1: little child that's always going to be so dependent on
- 50:36Speaker 1: you and the every now and then you have these
- 50:38Speaker 1: moments where you're like, oh, they're growing up so much
- 50:40Speaker 1: more and understanding so much more of the world. And
- 50:42Speaker 1: then you also think, oh, gosh, what's going to be
- 50:44Speaker 1: a time when start to worry and they'll be here
- 50:47Speaker 1: by themselves.
- 50:48Speaker 3: And I I like, I do a similar thing where
- 50:51Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, well they are getting older, and then
- 50:54Speaker 3: I also I also feel so much sympathy for them
- 50:57Speaker 3: because of what they've got ahead of them, especially in
- 51:02Speaker 3: those school years they throw absolutely everything at you. And
- 51:06Speaker 3: then she's also trying to understand how the world works,
- 51:09Speaker 3: like how death works, and then like it's going to
- 51:11Speaker 3: be something else next time.
- 51:12Speaker 1: And they're like I don't want to die, and I'm like,
- 51:13Speaker 1: no one wants to die.
- 51:15Speaker 3: I remember when I was at that age, I was
- 51:16Speaker 3: just worried about who was going to get my PlayStation after.
- 51:19Speaker 2: But yet now is the.
- 51:21Speaker 3: Parent You're getting these questions and you're like you also
- 51:24Speaker 3: kind of think to yourself of the reality of that,
- 51:27Speaker 3: and that's what's obviously made you upset as well, Like
- 51:30Speaker 3: you've probably thought, I don't want you to feel ever
- 51:32Speaker 3: feel alone, and of course, like there's going to be
- 51:35Speaker 3: a situation at some point in the future where this
- 51:38Speaker 3: is a reality, as much as we both don't want
- 51:40Speaker 3: it to be.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I was thirteen when I was thinking
- 51:43Speaker 1: about death. I'm like, oh, she's seven. I know.
- 51:45Speaker 3: I suppose that's the reality of like someone passing close
- 51:49Speaker 3: to you.
- 51:49Speaker 1: We'll bring the conversation forward.
- 51:51Speaker 3: Yeah, because my kids always talk about when Iggy dies, Squiggy.
- 51:54Speaker 1: That's going to be soon, right.
- 51:56Speaker 2: I keep saying that, I know.
- 52:01Speaker 1: But Macy was like, even squeakies, like, make it quick.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Out of my misery, because I feel like there's gonna
- 52:08Speaker 2: be a long dance. And she was like, Macy was like,
- 52:12Speaker 2: so how does it work if she dies? We just
- 52:13Speaker 2: get another dog? Like do you have to have a dog?
- 52:17Speaker 3: But like, because we haven't had that situation where it's like, oh,
- 52:21Speaker 3: you know, mate is dead and it's like, okay, well
- 52:24Speaker 3: now we've got to have this conversation of what's going
- 52:26Speaker 3: to happen after.
- 52:27Speaker 2: But I like, I think for her to ask the
- 52:30Speaker 2: questions like how.
- 52:30Speaker 3: Do we find each other is really mature, and then
- 52:32Speaker 3: for you to have an answer like that is.
- 52:35Speaker 1: Again on the spot.
- 52:36Speaker 3: On the spot is probably something she'll take away and
- 52:39Speaker 3: go Okay, Well, even though it's not necessarily explicitly saying,
- 52:43Speaker 3: no matter what the situation, I'm going to be there,
- 52:45Speaker 3: because that's exactly what that answer says to me, you
- 52:49Speaker 3: said it in a way which is practical for her.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Are we just we're both just like now you're great.
- 52:53Speaker 3: Now we're all great, Matt, one of our favorite segments,
- 52:57Speaker 3: which we haven't done in a while.
- 52:58Speaker 2: I'm thinking about this, yes today.
- 53:00Speaker 1: Parenting lies.
- 53:01Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of my kids every day, but we
- 53:02Speaker 2: don't talk about it.
- 53:03Speaker 1: And you you did the call out in the Facebook
- 53:05Speaker 1: group and it was just like it went Banana, I did.
- 53:08Speaker 3: And I want to thank Veggimi for bringing this back,
- 53:11Speaker 3: this segment. Of course they've got their new Vegimi kids,
- 53:14Speaker 3: so thank you.
- 53:15Speaker 2: But let's get into it. Tell me loud.
- 53:25Speaker 3: We did reach out to the audience or the dotors,
- 53:28Speaker 3: which we love very much.
- 53:29Speaker 2: And they are a bunch of fucking liars, aren't they?
- 53:33Speaker 1: Yes, just like shut up. I was reading sorry, I
- 53:38Speaker 1: was reading the first lie, thinking who's going to do
- 53:40Speaker 1: the liar? Sorry? But well said Ash, Yes, I.
- 53:45Speaker 3: Think a little harmless lie to get through the day
- 53:47Speaker 3: with your kids.
- 53:48Speaker 1: He's a must first, you go first.
- 53:50Speaker 2: This is from Jade or jar Da. I don't know.
- 53:53Speaker 2: I told my.
- 53:53Speaker 3: Daughter that TVs have a camera that watches to make
- 53:56Speaker 3: sure kids don't watch you, to.
- 53:58Speaker 1: Make my kids literally, I'm like, you're watching Bluey, yeah, Bluey,
- 54:03Speaker 1: and if you put on anything else, TV goes off
- 54:06Speaker 1: and they're like, yep, get it. I turned around, get
- 54:08Speaker 1: a glass of water, turn back. They're watching YouTube and
- 54:10Speaker 1: there's these family vloggers that suck. I can't remember the
- 54:15Speaker 1: name of them, but I'm like, yeah, it's Blueing and
- 54:17Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know how it happened.
- 54:19Speaker 3: I know it's like my kid's argument was, but Bluey's
- 54:22Speaker 3: on YouTube as well.
- 54:24Speaker 2: Shut up.
- 54:25Speaker 1: Next one, Okay, this one is from Claire. Okay, I'm
- 54:29Speaker 1: just not sure if I understand it.
- 54:31Speaker 2: I do, So you give it to me.
- 54:33Speaker 1: Okay, give it to you, and then you can explain
- 54:35Speaker 1: to me, because she says, here, the toy they show
- 54:38Speaker 1: me doesn't exist, it's just AI.
- 54:41Speaker 2: Yes.
- 54:41Speaker 3: So the thought here is that your kid is might
- 54:44Speaker 3: be potentially watching.
- 54:46Speaker 1: You, truly confusing for the kid.
- 54:47Speaker 3: Potentially yeah, potentially watching YouTube or see something on a
- 54:51Speaker 3: screen or whatever. And they're like, oh, I really want
- 54:53Speaker 3: this for my birthday, which is fine, but if it's
- 54:56Speaker 3: like a definite no, you can be like, oh, that'd
- 54:58Speaker 3: be awesome.
- 55:00Speaker 2: But unfortunately that doesn't exist.
- 55:01Speaker 3: Because AI has just created this to make it, make
- 55:04Speaker 3: it seem like you want it, so it doesn't exist.
- 55:07Speaker 2: I saw it. I we're not judging you. I think
- 55:10Speaker 2: it's no.
- 55:11Speaker 1: I am no. Never, it's clever, Don Claire.
- 55:14Speaker 2: This is from Brody.
- 55:15Speaker 3: I told my son his hair would turn into clay
- 55:17Speaker 3: if he didn't have a shower.
- 55:19Speaker 2: That's actually kind of true.
- 55:21Speaker 1: I do like a bit of creativity with lies. This
- 55:24Speaker 1: one is like, there's not really like much meaning towards it,
- 55:27Speaker 1: but yeah, your hair turns to clay? Where does that
- 55:29Speaker 1: come from?
- 55:30Speaker 4: Then?
- 55:30Speaker 2: What's the repercussions of that?
- 55:33Speaker 1: Surely he's like, yeah, what, why have I never seen
- 55:35Speaker 1: a child with clay?
- 55:36Speaker 2: He might have a rational fear of clay, which clever.
- 55:39Speaker 1: That is clever, Ebony. We've been on the road for
- 55:42Speaker 1: a couple of months and only have one fun kids
- 55:44Speaker 1: spoon in the caravan and they were.
- 55:48Speaker 4: One.
- 55:49Speaker 1: We've got kids too, We've got two and we need
- 55:51Speaker 1: to buy more, but we just keep forgetting because the
- 55:53Speaker 1: kids always fired over it. And you're like, if we
- 55:55Speaker 1: just had more spoons. Anyway, she says, they will constantly
- 55:58Speaker 1: fight over it. My husband and told them that the
- 56:01Speaker 1: plain ones are actually Elsa's spoons because her magic made
- 56:05Speaker 1: them silver. Now they ask for Elsa's spoons every morning
- 56:08Speaker 1: with breakfast.
- 56:09Speaker 2: Now that's clever. See that is I love a clever lie.
- 56:12Speaker 1: All lies are great, but that's like, that's the creativity
- 56:15Speaker 1: is what I love there.
- 56:16Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's got the lie and the purpose and it.
- 56:19Speaker 1: Makes sense because you know, like the silver Elsa.
- 56:22Speaker 2: That's top tier parenting.
- 56:24Speaker 1: Too good of a lie.
- 56:25Speaker 2: Careful your husband, don't let him go. This is from Leilani.
- 56:33Speaker 1: Well read you.
- 56:35Speaker 2: I be practicing.
- 56:36Speaker 3: Couldn't get my son to eat any fruits. So using
- 56:39Speaker 3: a bit of creativity one day, I asked if he
- 56:41Speaker 3: would like a muscle drink.
- 56:44Speaker 2: He's obsessed with his muscles. Sounds like Oscar Oscar.
- 56:49Speaker 3: And April he now drinks and fruits smoothie every day.

- 57:36Speaker 1: all the ways the noses didn't need, just like pooh
- 57:38Speaker 1: from your bum. It's all the food your bum doesn't need.
