• 1:39
  Speaker 2: As you know, we don't give advice. But what we
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: do do do do is housekeeping.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And it's Monday, and it's a Monday.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Wow, what is happening?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: What is happening?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: This is the first of the new episodes, the housekeeping episodes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Because you greedy bastards kept asking for more. They can't
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: get enough, give us more, fending you off.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: A yearly trying to double my work line, aren't they guys?

  Speaker 2: Children right now are like, mummy, where's Dad. He's talking
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to his followers.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The dotors need him, they need him more than you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Bye bye. But here we are like hopefully this continues.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It's always my biggest fear because we put this off
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: for a little while of like saying yes to more work,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and then a month in both of us going well,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I can't do this, VIC till the followers, we're canceling
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the Monday episodes.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: This whole podcast was like that. It's like a month
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and we're like, God, it is hard work. Here we
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: are three or so years later.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: How long will this go for?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I'll figure it out.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: The first little dot point here, I've got PSA. Full moon, Vic.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am interested in the moon. So I saw
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it on the weekend. It was big.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought the parents out there needed a bit
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of PSA this week because I don't know about your kids,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: but my kids go absolutely mental whenever there's.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: A full moon like a were wolf.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Literally. And then last night I saw there was a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: full moon and a friend of mine said, there's going
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: to be two.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This month, two full moons.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Two full moons.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Can I be done for a second? How often do
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: we get a full moon?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: It's cyclical, go on, there's a cycle to the muon
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to mune immune to the moon. It's cyclical. So it
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: goes tiny little slither, yeah, slightly bigger slither.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's once a month, full once a month.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Do we really care.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, the full moon occurs every twenty nine point five
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: three days, so.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Specific that's exactly what I said. That was going to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be the next word that I now twenty nine point
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: three five days, So we're going to have.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: A moon every like fifteen days to make it twice
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: in a month. A full moon.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Well, it could be the start of the twenty ninth
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: day and then the first day of the next cycle
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: falling in the same month. Does this periods very good question?
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It shouldn't, because.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Let's just say it does. It shouldn't. Let's just say
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it to us.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: But basically, there's going to be one at the start
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: of the month and then one at the end of
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the month. And the second moon is called a blue moon,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: which is very infrequent, and so it happens every three
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: years or so, which is why the phrase once in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a blue moon came about.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I love those kind of facts. That's a that's a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: nun effect. I'm going to tell her that, and she's
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: going to she already knows, Yeah, she pretends that she is.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'll call the dog walker over and be like, do
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you know that's going to be too mean? God, the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: dogs are going to go crazy. Crazy, crazier than the kids,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't there.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I was speaking to someone on the weekend who knows
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: about moons and astrology.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, troscopes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He said, the moon's bad for if you're a Taurus.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Is that this current moon?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Apparently the animal itself.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know enough, but apparently the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: moon who star signs the moon. It's a crazy at
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the moment, but they're always crazy.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So I reckon they just we just find a reason
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to like defind the craziness. I feel like that probably
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: hasn't had to do with any of that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I know they're always up to something. But are we
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: inflicting more anxiety of the parents of this country and world? Yeah?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Go yes, But it's good to know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It's good to know this.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: It's good to have information as past knowledge is very true,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: very true.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Now, I know the main thing you want to remember
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: is parents. If your kids are going crazy this month,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: it's the moons. There's two bloody moons.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's blame the moons. VICKI thank you so much,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: just for those listening. Vick hates being called Vicky. We've
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: just worked that out about five minutes ago. And now
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Matt is so excited. I've got on MC in high
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: school video.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Sure you had a little measure up this morning. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: wasn't able to make it. I was late, which is
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: unlike me to just.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Lie over anyway. You were, you're busy doing something else.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: That's fair enough. We don't need two people to measure up.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And we had Vick's partner Dan there, lovely fella didn't
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: know it was a Kiwi shocked me. Heah, we've measured up.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna put some walls in. We're gonna get the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: construction going, which we will update and ask for the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: listener's input as we go along.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And if you're wondering, gosh, what does the studio look
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: like for these guys and Vic, we will do a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: little walk through video and give you an up that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: on the plans on our socials.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: We will Yeah, once we have plans.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: We have a couple of ideas marinating right now.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, we have just quick question speaking about drawings. Does
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: your kid do this too, where if they're drawing a picture,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to see it until it's done.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: No, they want my input?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Nah ah, God, oscar fucking hell. Strange boy, what do
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you mean he's doing a picture and he's like, cally
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: mine and if I accidentally see it, he's like, takes
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: off down the fucking hallway, just anything like what I think.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: This morning I caught him just drawing a lizard.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: What a boys draw?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Dix Okay, Louis doesn't do that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Louis draw what's he drawing these days?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Boobies, any anatomy? He likes to draw animals.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And the other day he drew his teacher and then
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: wanted to give it to her and he's like, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: need sticky tape so she could put it on the
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: wall in the classroom.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, see, also can draw anything, right, it doesn't have
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to be any specific, and he'll just like melt down
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: if I've seen it and I said you this morning,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna love it regardless if I've seen
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it before. It's done or it's done unless it's shit,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and it's just just so you know, it doesn't matter.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be a surprise every time. So anyway,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I just want to I'd.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Rather that because I mate when it's six in the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: morning and the girls are like, draw with me, what color?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm going, fuck, I just need a coffee so bad.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: If they were like, don't look at it, give me
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: half an hour, I'd go Heaven, you're considering yourself lucky.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not that I don't know that. I'm not
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: meant to look. So I'm walking past where he's drawing,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: but he's drawing in the middle of it. Might as
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: well like be right in the middle of the room,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: like I can I not see it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He's probably thinking how many times I have to fucking
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: tell this.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I told me once stop looking at the drawing into
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: another room. Then go into another room and do your drawing.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I did some drawing with them, Like I sat down
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: into drawing with them, drawing.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I drew.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I have to show you. Actually, it's pretty good. It's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: cubes on all different angles linking together with some more
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with more depth, different colors. It was like geometric. Anyway,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I did that that Basco flipped out because it was
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: so good and I can't please him anyway. Just thought
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: i'd ask you the question, because that's how I dealt
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: with this morning.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: A little update on Marley's birthday party can confirm Laura
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: has changed the dates so we will be here in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the country for her actual birthday.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Change the days of the birthday of the trip, so.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: The trip is changed. People were gosh up in arms
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: just the dots were divided. People were like, who you
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: liked a child? And I'm like, I line to my
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: kid every day every day.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: But there's a hobby.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It should be based on honesty integrity. I'm like, no, Like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it's based on love.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And I lie to you because I love you. The
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: more I lie to you, the more I love you. Simple,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I love you. That's a lie. I mean, I love you.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: The amount of five fo well, the amount of people
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: who were in a relationship with someone who works five
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: or there on five fo themselves. And also like boxing
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: day sales or the price of chocolate eggs after Easter, Financially,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it works out way more beneficial if you do everything after.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a money save. That's a hack. That's a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: money saving trick because Easter eggs fucking they're setting them
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: down and it came out near my place for a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: dollar a pop and at the end of the day,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it's all just chocolate. Can I add please?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: One Jota said that her kid had always dreamed of
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: a beach party, but their birthday was in winter, so
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: they changed the birthday so that the party was in
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: summer and the kid had the best birthday ever. Didn't
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: have a clue that, like it was a different season, right,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I was like as a winter baby, I do love
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that as a.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Kid way too.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, fuck, oh god, goddamn, sorry Jesus, how many years.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Vic he wouldn't know mine?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But do you know his? You're it's August, your August
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: June twenty. Holy crap.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: That's good to this morning, I know, but still to remember.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: That you're August correct once a month. This conversation happened.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It's very fun.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't need to tell we don't need to
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: talk about this with the dough is listening.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But you know what, maybe you'd care if I lied
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: about it and changed it. Maybe you'd start to care.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe I just changed my birthday to yours because you're
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: so so self absorbed. Anyway, moving on.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I just think that's a great idea. Because Marley, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday party.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Marley wants a water park location for her birth.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: As a present, Just a whole park. We're going to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: fit it. Which house, Okay, she wants to go to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a water park in June. That's the problem.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's dude, she doesn't because kids don't know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: like seasons.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Are the indoor ones the Olympic Park indoor one? Now, like, hey,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I don't do public pools, but you could go.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to. That's too hot. And also
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I would fit the amount of responsibility to have that
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: many kids.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You're a great swimmer.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: No, I'm a good swimmer. But you know, you've probably
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: seen the video of Poppy covered in Nivia cream on
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: my Instagram. I had her for thirty minutes and that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: was the stake. I ended up losing a child.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't be a drop and gastitch. You couldn't do
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: that as a d That is a definite ITH's gotta
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: be ratioed, thank you. Yeah, but like also indoor pool
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of kids, imagine the decibels in that
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: ah you're talking about you have a headache. Now, you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: would have a fucking headache at the end of that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Could you do her birthday in Bali because there's an
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: amazing water park over there, and.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Then it's dangerous, but she's really into inviting her friends
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and as I could just invite.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Her, just fly them all over on the jet.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I love my mum, Nana, Nana Ellie. She is just
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the work she does around the house. You know, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: cannot thank her enough. We wouldn't be able to operate
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: as a unit as a family without her help. However,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: this morning, this morning, and thankfully she listen to the podcast.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Otherwise she'd have a real problem and we'd have a
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: lot of I just.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Give her updates. I call her an updated what we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: spoke about, because.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: You would do that. This morning, I was getting the
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: kids ready for school and I was looking on the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: floor and I was like, the fuck is the fucking
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: blue Like these little blue marks all over the floor.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Went into the bathroom, there's blue marks in there, like
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: little like, you know, five centimeters little like like a
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: little paintbrush someone's just gone through and like painted throughout.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: And I was thinking, like maybe it was buster. Buster's
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: gotten We've got the chart they get ready chart in
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the morning the kids have to have like the breakfast,
• 13:00

• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they've completed it. It's the pen blue and the pen
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: is blue. But it was a real strange smudge on
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the floor, and I was like, look, everyone right now,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: just stop what you're doing. Everyone freeze. And it's a
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: bit like when someone's you know, stepped in ship. Everyone
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: has to like line up like suspects. And I'm like,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just I checked before I did that. I checked.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: My foot wasn't me So I was like, great.

• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and just fine, carry on.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Skin is radiant, moving on.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And then I was like, Nana, Nana, he's a bit deaf.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: So I was like, Nana, what is it? I said,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: check your foot. She's not fucking blue ink or I
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: don't know how she's I think she stepped on the
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: pen whist making a sandwich for the kids lunchboxes. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: she's just got an ink like it's just built up
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: and foots like a sponge. It's just absorbed all this ink.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And she's now like smeared it all throughout that.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: A shoe on.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: She's barefoot.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: She didn't feel it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: She's she's got a bad sh leaving a footprint everywhere
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: and I was like, you know, mister deeds, how he
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: can't feel his foot feel it?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm not going to have it because
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, for fox sake, Nanna, and then she's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: like what what is it? And she's like pacing up
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and down. BE like, ah, she's smearing it more and
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: more and more.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, stop moving, leaving a trail, like.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You know how they like the horses have their change.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, had it from behind just grinding? Had
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: it locked in? I was like, stop wriggling. That's a
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: fucking cleaner.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: What was it? What's the ink? Was it?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Was it permanent? No?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I thought.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what exactly was the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: exact molecule make up over?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: That was a German ink.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old, Matthew. I've worked it out well. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: know that, okay, But I'm getting older technically, so as
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: soon as you're born, you're dying. That's that why I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: put it. But I'm getting closer. I've been doing a
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: lot of work on the house, mainly on a floor,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and the floor means a.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Lot of finished.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: No, No, I had to it's not finished. I had
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to repaint the bedroom for another reason, but never right.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: That took. That took a whole day, trust me. But
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: we're nearly finished. Were nearly there. But with the floor
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of bending over to be done. And
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I'd been doing really well because I knew I knew
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that I was going to be doing that, and I
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: knew that my lower back sometimes, as you know, can
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: throw it out quite a bit. But I actually threw
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: it out at under seven soccer training instead because I
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: tried to show off.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: A little bit because you used to play semi professional soccer,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: semi amateur professional for the belly Bears.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Wrong on so many what's my birthday a game? Yeah,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong on so many levels. Pop quiz. Anyway, I
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: went down to training. There's a couple of other dads
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: down there as we do on a Thursday night, and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: kids all doing their thing, and I was like, you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: know what, I might as well take this opportunity this
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: hour on a Thursday while the kids are doing their training,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: to have a kick around myself. You know, get the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: heart rate up. You're a great dad, thank you. Get
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the heart rate up, you know, not with the team
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: on my that noise, No, it was just you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: helping out here and there where I came. When they
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: need me, They're like, ash, stop it, we don't need you,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: we don't want you to help out. I'm like, I've
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: even bought boots, did you? I mean, I was going
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to have a kick around. You know what, man.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Is a good daking great.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that bliss is killing me, back, killing me, knees, ankles,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is killing me. Anyway. So I'm like, yeah,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: look at me. I go showing off a little bit,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: went to do a big kick right foot, didn't even
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: get halfway through the back swing, and I was like,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I hadn't what who warms up? Like, let's who stretches.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Rick was telling me about the stretching classes. I was
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: forty five minute stretching class. Mine's like a forty five
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: second stretching class. I'm like, down, up, done anyway. On
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the back swing, coming through borm right hand side, lower back,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it's like I've been shot at war, touchy subject. It's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: like I've been shot at a fuck at war. Okay,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I was, I was in battle the heat of battle,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: crack and shot. I will go in top corner, top corner.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: But that was two weeks ago. I've been hobbling around
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on this back for two weeks.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: The physio, No, what are they gonna do?
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I think physios are a bit of a scam take
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: my money? Yeah, just giving you a look.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Why do you think physios are a scam?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: We've been we've been through this. Just they're they're just backs.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: They just you know, you go in there, they have
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: a quick chat, give you a little rub, tell you
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: to touch your toes, and then all we'll see in
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: another three weeks. Buck, it's so much money, like fix me,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: fix me.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like they do is send you home with homework. Yes,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: sorry to all the physios out there, but it's fucking true.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Honestly, the work you guys do and your profession is
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: just outstanding.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: For who like workers calm Maybe, I don't know, for
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: people who need it mainly did Oscar?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: More importantly, when you took this shot, did Oscar your
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: son did it? Ah?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: One of the other dads saw it and he was
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: like that was great, and then so how many dads.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Rock up with football boots on one?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I masked it. I masked my pain, and at
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: this point I'm like warmed up a little bit. So
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I can get through. But then later on after the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: kids going to bed, and I hobbled into the bedroom,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: what Fu's wrong with you? And I'm like, oh god,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: sports related injury. You wouldn't understand. She was like, you
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: don't play sport. You just watch your kid play sport.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, yeah, I was. I was
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: kicking the ball with one of the other dads. She
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: was like, ah, here we go, showing off. So yeah,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I've been hobbling around because I threw my back out
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: at under seven soccer training.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And that's what you get for trying to be an
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: involved dad. Right, You're like getting punished for showing up,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: being present. Life's not fair. I know.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like they just knocked me down in
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: my prime. I'm like, you know, I'm out here. I'll
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: get out there. I'll be that active dad. You might
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: as well just sit on the care o. I'm not
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: going to get hurt. I reckon.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: It would be so common that dad's just thinking this still.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Dialogue again to the listeners, watch your pathetic injury. Remember
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: we did that because I had a pathetic injury. This
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is going to be a little bit vulgar. Vick I'm sorry,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: ash vulgar. What okay? Can I tell the story or
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: are we going to be disgusted? Are we going to
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: look at me differently afterwards?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: But already close.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: When April and I lived in an apartment a few
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: years back, I think, and we have one of those
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: bathtub shower combinations. You know what I'm talking about. You
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: can get quite slippery. I don't know if I want
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to tell this story now. Actually i've started.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I have a think about it. Nana. We have a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: slip mat that Nana. It suctions onto the and so
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: it's like an octopus, the little suction cap. So after
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: she's finished, I've got to, like I know the ones yet,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: and then I've got to like hang it out and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: dry it, and then I don't do it. Then it
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: does it itself.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Look, mine might be a bit disgusting.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Did you break your penis?
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: No, it's penis related. Though I I was home alone.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Let me just preface the story with that I was
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: home alone. The mood has struck Victoria VICKI and I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: have ejaculated into the bathtub pre shower, and then I've
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: stepped into the shower, slipped on it the room back
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: out and then I had to go to work the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: next day and I was going to come and I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: remember hobbling around and someone was like, oh, I was like, yeah,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you know, like that, are you good? You know, no
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: one ever knew that story, and that was the story.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I just played it off as I was doing some
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: work around the house. I was doing some work around
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the house, all right, thank you, Vick. I was doing
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: some self improvement anyway. So I've stepped in. And you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: know when you sleep on a freak, when you sleep
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: on a banana peel, like in the in like a cartoon.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: That's what was like legs in the air downstairs.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Let's come related, laying in your own bodily fluids? Literally,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and then.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: How do you clean that off? You're like, oh well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it won't come on. I still feel dirty.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Actually I feel clean. That that story is out in
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: the open. Now I feel better about myself. So that's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: that's that's fresh for you guys.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: That must have been really frustrating that you were the
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: cause of that injury.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh I was beside myself. I cried in the bottom
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of the bath covered and com do.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: They feel just like that?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: You doesn't even know this story.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: That's how you usually masturbate anyway, So yeah, no different.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Cry before. It's different anyway, Vick. You've got now you
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: reveal something about yourself to make me feel better.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: What have you got for us? You got a little
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: note in here? Got an update?
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Oh look, it's not breaking news because we are going
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: to keep breaking news to the normal Wednesday EPP. But
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I was on my drive into work today and I
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: heard Maddy j get called out on not only any podcast,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: it's one I love listening to every week, but it's
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: actually Australia's number one podcast.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Mum and me never heard of it, got called out
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: or shouted out reference.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Reference going on in terms of parenting and making dadding
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: look cool for the next gen. I thought it was
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: a pretty good shout actually, so I thought we have
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: a listen.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: I think it's probably really good news that that young
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: men are all things they want.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: To be dads.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: And I think that's because dadding looks a lot more
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: fun than it used to.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Millennial dads spend three.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Times more time with their children than their grandfathers would
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: have done. And like, think of the Hamish Blakes, and
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: think of the guys who are out there making dadding
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: look look really fun.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: What's his name?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Matt?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Naddy Ja, Naddy Jay.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: Like we're always saying how we need more good male
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: role models.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: What's his name?
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: What's his name? Buddy?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: You know, Hamis is so amazing. I don't have a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: little you know, I was crying on such a minute.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Also also releases the podcast every week about dads. What's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: his name? Hamish has like one two seasons of a
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: podcast with his mates about dads, And it was like, that's.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: He's going a good job.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: You got to mention what's the man going to do
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: over here?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I thought it was very cool and I would agree
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: as a mom and that you guys are making dads
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: look cool and you're making it look good.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I would also argue that point though, especially what we
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: cut down from the podcast. It's always like and then
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the fucking kids were crying over and ice creamed up
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: a little ship.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the cool thing is Matt that we're there
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to see it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, thanks to our forefathers, the granddads, who have just
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: done a great job of setting the bar so incredibly low.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like, hey, tell you what we should do.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Let's put the bar here lower.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: They were so low that they weren't even in the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: room when the child was.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Born and we were at the pub, and then she
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: gave birth when I was wet in the head. Was
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: great for me anyway, and I was hungover for the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: next week. So anyway, it's not hard to beat, is it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I suppose.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like three times is like? What's that?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Once a week is three times more?
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Ah, thank you number me are out loud for the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: beautiful reference.

• 25:36
  Speaker 2: us from when we first started, when I didn't have
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: a mustache, and I thought, maybe it's time, maybe it's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: time to like differentiate myself.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't even notice it because it's just part of you, now,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: don't you.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: I think it's time time for change.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Be sacking me. You're gonna mention on that podcast You're
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: out of here more memorable.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, this afternoon is a very exciting day because first
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: time of school of this year, we scaled back all
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the activities for the kids. We were like, let's just
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: strip it right back to bare bones. And the girls
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I've been trying to understand. I want them to be
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: passionate about something. So Mali Stilla does dance, it's in
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the morning, but Lolla at the moment, she doesn't have
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: any activity. We tried soccer last year, didn't do that well,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and I was trying to get a feel for what
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: they wanted to do. Okay, and they've decided we've landed
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: on gymnastics.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Didn't they do gymnastics before?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: They did do it before they were at school. I
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: used to do gymnastics with them and it was grays
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: easy because you could just do it like in the afternoon.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: It's just like an activity for it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I loved it because on the days that
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I was with them, it's just, you know, we will
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: do that in the afternoon. It sucks up a couple
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: of hours. They loved it, but we put a pause
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: on gymnastics. Gymnastics is about to start. They got a
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: class with their cousin. My sister had a drump shas
• 26:50

• 27:30
  Speaker 1: What's lower than that? I'm just kidding.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's great because Marley will finally, finally after
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: so many months of struggling in the backyard, indoors, even cartwheels.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I forgot about the cart wheels? Can you cart?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Will?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Come on?

  Speaker 1: I did remember.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: He's like a legend at that apparently.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I according to him, I did gymnastics for four years. Yeah,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: just ask me. I did it for one year when
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I was like six as well. How old were you
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: when you did it?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: We'll do a handstand competition after that. Can you do it? Like?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Can you?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I don't need to compete with you because I know
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. Just so you know, what do
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you want to see? I want to see a flip flip.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I can't do a flip, but I can I can
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: do a flip. What actually have you seen the guy
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: who the highest? I don't want to see back fleet.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see it, oh man, I don't
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: want to see it anyway, Go on, cartwheels, I can't cutwheel.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: So she's still to this day has not been able
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: to master the cartwheel.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Well, good timing then, because we got a Dodo who
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: wrote in actually, and she said it was Britt. She said,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I was just listening to your January episode a little
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: bit late where you spoke about trying to teach your
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: daughter a cartwheel. I felt compelled to send you a
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: quick little voice note about how you might be able
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: to help her as I used to be a gym coach.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Feel free to share this on the pot if you like.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Either way, I hope it helps you. Love the pod guys.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not a parent, but I am a teacher and
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: love hearing your stories.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Love that. Also, Sorry it took long to reply here. January.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, No, I think she was listening to
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: it late. I honestly think that I forget. I feel
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: like it's gone so fast that it's like feb Now
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: it's made.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Don't start that, all right, take a listen to this, hey,
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Maddie Jay, Hey, Ash, I was just listening to your
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: episode from January where you were talking about trying to teach.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Your daughter a cartwill, and as.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: An ex gym coach, I would say the best piece
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: of advice that I could give you is to use
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: some masking tape and draw out a circle on the floor.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: And you were one hundred percent right, Maddie in saying
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: hand hand, foot foot, because that shows them how.
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: They should be using their bodies in using both hands
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: first and then feet after. And it's okay if she's
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: jumping two feet at the same time, because that does
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: come before the second part.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: But by doing the circle, it means that they don't
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: need to try and get their legs up straight straight away,
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: which is the really challenging part. So if they stand
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: on the circle facing inwards, they put their hands next
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: to them on the circle, and then they jump their
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: feet to the other side of that circle, it's a
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: little bit easier to navigate that shape building. And then
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: what you can do is, as they're getting it by
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: going handhand, foot, foot, you can make the circle bigger
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: and bigger and bigger until it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Ends up being a line and then hopefully that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: Will help her. So good luck, thank you, well done
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: on training so far you're doing.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Really it's a recording.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: You didn't call in yep, thank you, yep. I didn't
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: understand any.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Of that as a gymnast, someone who's very familiar with
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the training techniques required the cart wheels. I understood that
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I will use that method at home, so thank you
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: appreciate it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the results. To be honest,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I would try a cartwheel and I bung both shoulders.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: My back would be farked again. I'm not even gonna try.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I could do a roly poly on a nice soft
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: mat losers really good to lie down and great at
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that seduce me. You're just trying to seduce me with
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: your cart wheels, Matthew, it is time for perant.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: It's been so long, so many segments. Let's let's dig
• 31:16

• 31:34
  Speaker 2: and I've like, it's just really crept into the vocabulary
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: of my kids, and it's really starting to annoy me
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: a lot, a lot. I don't know if your kids
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: do this, but any time I've got to say, hey, guys,

• 35:43
  Speaker 1: There's a few spots, hold me a spots to not
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: even like, oh, behind the wardrobe over there, there's a
• 35:47

  Speaker 1: a bare concrete.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, this one's from Taylor. Taylor, thank you so much

• 36:12
  Speaker 2: How many family photos.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Have you booked?
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Inas?
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Can you book me? By the way, Vic does great
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: family photos if you're not photos taken.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Sorry school photos for me?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: But does that to you? She's at home, she's home,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: she's not working at the moment, she's having a nice
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: all time off doing that sort of stuff. She loves it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: What fuck? Who's gonna do it?
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. I have ADHD. It's a disorder.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Don't don't use out to enable bad behavior.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Bro, shut up and read it.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Has anyone ever received their family photos back and thought, oh,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: what a magical time that was? Because for me, it's no.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: It's as if the day was doomed as soon as
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I said, okay, guys, we have family photos today, let's
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: have some fun time. Not only was the lead up
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: shit show, My son decided that today was the day
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: to grow a full blown teenage attitude and lose his smile.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: My ten month old wouldn't keep anything in her hair,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: and my husband and I argued through gritted teeth the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: entire time. Can't wait to see the happy family rolled
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: out onto my walls with all the smiles, with good
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: mustard and pretend like the day wasn't something out of
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: a parent horror show.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: This is a good one for Vic, actually, Vic, because
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you do a lot of family photos. Yeah, like what's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the combination, what's the.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Mixture of, what's the ratio of divorce, post familyship.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: What's the mixture of, Like everyone really happy to be there,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and obviously everyone the mood is tense.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Look Frank, just fucking smile with the kids, Look franky, Jane,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: just smile. I reckon.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Most families turn up very stress and have been fighting
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: the whole way in because even when I get my
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: own photos, like it is really hard getting to like
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: a beach, for example, on time, with the kid's dressed,
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: hair done nicely. Your partner helping sounds like my worst
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: line mare. I can see it when they're coming like
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: down to the I can just see it on their faces.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: It's been a stressful time to get there, and I
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: get it, and so my job then is to calm
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: them and like help them shake it off. And most
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: of my clients do say that was so fun. It
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: didn't even feel like we're on a photo shoot, and like,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: yes we were rushing or yes we were late, but
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: that kind of doesn't matter, Like we have an hour,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: but you only need like a short time to get
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: those really good.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Photos because like years down the track, You'll forget about
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: the arguments and you look at.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: That man hold onto that ship, and you'll go.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Look at the kids, so young.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And happy, and remember when honestly, no offense. Vick doing
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: a family portrait down the beach sounds like my worst
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: night man.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: But if it does, sound great.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: But if that's your jam, you can book in with
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: yug yum. If that's what you're into, then book with Vick.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: You can find her on.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Victoria owns photography dot com dot you up accepted that.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Oh God, make you love it? No, no, because you
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: will just make my wife do it, and then she'll
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: make me do it, and then, trust me, that won't
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: end well for you. I'm like, we'll be in a record.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: We'll do a two hour record. Edit it now.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I reckon one out of ten dads actually want to
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: do the photo shoot. Okay, but I would say.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I've always wanted to.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: There's your one right there.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: But then they all walk out of it and say, actually,
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: that wasn't as bad as I was expecting because the
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: photos that I take you're not looking at a camera smiling,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: You're just playing with kids, and I'm getting the photos
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: of it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: I don't want to play with. Is it comfortable doing smiling,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: just being a person, jolly, being jolly, I love you.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Shut up, you're so mean. But I get it. I
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: don't don't. I don't oose want to be photographed like
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: I would much rather dose.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: People comment right now a lot about how good you're looking.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I look great all the time, but I on camera,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: like filming film me, I'm all about what what's going on.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know you really get under you really.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Get a compliment. I just said, everyone's saying you look.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Good, but then you gestured a big like that'll fucking
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: that'll get me in the good books. I don't believe
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: a word that comes to any out all right, I
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: mean that, but on video. But I don't mind being
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: if someone's like, we're gonna video this, fine, But as
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: soon as someone's like, oh, we're going to do a
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: photo shoot, I'm like, oh, lose my soul, literally my brain.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: My brain's like fuck this, like seriously, like school actually
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: can't tell your funny story about school photos please quickly.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: And this just keeping in mind, this is my teenage years,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: and teenagers are the worst, as we know. And it
