Speaker 2: since same fringe since she was a child.
15:54
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. I'm like, will will this be it?
15:56
Speaker 2: And I always say to April, g dodge this fringe.
16:00
Speaker 1: Marley. Marley was growing out of the fringe. She wanted
16:04
Speaker 1: to back now, and then she's gone back to the fringe.
16:06
Speaker 1: She was like clawing out of the like the trenches
16:09
Speaker 1: of fringes, and then now she's smack bang in the
16:12
Speaker 1: center of that crater.
16:13
Speaker 2: It must be nice to have options though. Actually they've
16:16
Speaker 2: got options to grow different hairstyles. I've stuck with the one,
16:20
Speaker 2: which is just either too much hair and you can't
16:23
Speaker 2: do anything with it, or bald shaved.
16:26
Speaker 1: Not far off. But people of people had messaged and
16:29
Speaker 1: they were like, you didn't even announce the fringe. She's
16:32
Speaker 1: just all of a sudden on your socials with a fringe.
16:34
Speaker 2: Do you have to announce your child's fringe?
16:36
Speaker 1: Well, apparently you do. I didn't realize it was required
16:40
Speaker 1: to be announced, but yeah, so that's why I'm announcing.
16:42
Speaker 2: To you and we're announcing to everyone else's listening in.
16:45
Speaker 1: Case you come over and you're like, who is this
16:47
Speaker 1: random four year old? And I'm like, that happens to
16:49
Speaker 1: be Lola with a fringe.
16:51
Speaker 2: Wow. I can't wait to see it actually, because it's like,
16:54
Speaker 2: I know, like with Oscar cutting his hair when it's
16:57
Speaker 2: really long, it's like it to be like a like
17:00
Speaker 2: a latchkey kid, and then when I cut it, he
17:03
Speaker 2: just like looks like a different kid. It's wild. So anyway,
17:07
Speaker 2: congrats on the fringe.
17:09
Speaker 1: How are you, my friend?
17:09
Speaker 2: We're good.
17:11
Speaker 1: By the way, that's housekeeping finished? Oh all good, I
17:13
Speaker 1: finished the housekeeping.
17:14
Speaker 2: Thank you, it's over.
17:15
Speaker 1: Don't talking about how clean it looks.
17:17
Speaker 2: It does look clean. It's awkward it looks clean.
17:19
Speaker 1: Don't sit down anywhere you make a mask.
17:21
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's move on. How am I? I'm good?
17:26
Speaker 2: The family were sick the last couple of weeks, sucked down.
17:30
Speaker 2: We can't go this whole episode?
17:31
Speaker 4: You like this?
17:32
Speaker 2: Why how do I make it better? You're got to
17:34
Speaker 2: be a star anyway, So about of sickness, Oscar was
17:39
Speaker 2: had a couple of days of school, which is never
17:41
Speaker 2: which is never good as a builder, passes me.
17:43
Speaker 1: Shout out to the tilers doing a great job upstairs.
17:45
Speaker 2: Up I've lost my training though. Sorry.
17:48
Speaker 1: Yes, so everyone's sick.
17:49
Speaker 2: You know you're dying. We're all dying. Yeah. Oscar was
17:53
Speaker 2: particularly sick, like really bad cough this home year. He
17:56
Speaker 2: usually had was creep or whatever, but it was like
17:57
Speaker 2: really really bad. Ski kept him at home for two
18:01
Speaker 2: days at the back end of a week, which is fine,
18:04
Speaker 2: it goes into it.
18:04
Speaker 1: Can I just say, I'm very sorry that you guys
18:07
Speaker 1: are experiencing this.
18:08
Speaker 2: It's brutal. It is brutal time. No one deserves this. No,
18:11
Speaker 2: everyone's at school back now we're on the mend, and
18:13
Speaker 2: that's the main thing. But Oscar was crooked for a
18:15
Speaker 2: few days too. It was like he needs to see
18:18
Speaker 2: a doctor, you know, like usually you can rest it out.
18:21
Speaker 2: And also kids don't understand when they're home to rest,
18:22
Speaker 2: they need to rest. Come back out to the living
18:24
Speaker 2: room in Oscar's fucking got an obstacle course going. I'm
18:27
Speaker 2: like Jesus Christ, come on one a way. He's still sick.
18:30
Speaker 2: We had to go to the doctor and they said
18:31
Speaker 2: you need to do the like the influenza test and
18:33
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Which is the same as the old
18:36
Speaker 2: COVID test which does them all and just the flashback.
18:39
Speaker 2: And I was going to ask you, do you remember
18:41
Speaker 2: having to give Mali or Lola a COVID test back
18:46
Speaker 2: in in the middle of the pandemic, because it's such
18:50
Speaker 2: a weird sensation up there up there, even for an adult.
18:54
Speaker 2: Because we had Macy like in the mix of COVID.
18:58
Speaker 2: There was a lot of testing going on because at
19:00
Speaker 2: the hospitals and go to different appointments, you've just got
19:03
Speaker 2: to test every second day. And same with Oscar, and
19:06
Speaker 2: it was such a nightmare because.
19:08
Speaker 1: It depends on who you went to. Sometimes they were
19:10
Speaker 1: very delicate and they're very gentle, and then sometimes I
19:12
Speaker 1: was just like, you know, the night on the back
19:14
Speaker 1: of a horse with.
19:15
Speaker 2: A what's it called that sword? A jousting, So I'm
19:21
Speaker 2: talking about the one at home when you do it
19:23
Speaker 2: at home yourself to get the negative so you.
19:25
Speaker 1: Can be like, it's so hard to know how deep
19:29
Speaker 1: to go in.
19:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what she said.
19:32
Speaker 1: God you're terrible.
19:33
Speaker 2: Okay, Anyway, I just remember having to do with Oscar
19:36
Speaker 2: and he wouldn't He refused, so I had to remember
19:39
Speaker 2: having to pin him down to do it, and it
19:42
Speaker 2: was traumatizing because he'd be like, you know when you
19:44
Speaker 2: put like medication in a dog's mouth and you hold
19:46
Speaker 2: their mouth try and get it and they're like flying around.
19:50
Speaker 2: That's what he'd be like. And I'm like trying to
19:52
Speaker 2: poke this thing up his nose long enough.
19:54
Speaker 1: It's a two man job as well.
19:55
Speaker 4: I know.
19:56
Speaker 2: I remember once April had his arms and legs and
19:58
Speaker 2: I had I had his head between my knees and
20:01
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my, I was like just like
20:08
Speaker 2: full red, like fire eyes. And it's because I know
20:13
Speaker 2: the feeling right because we had to do it too,
20:16
Speaker 2: but because we were adults like, but he was just
20:19
Speaker 2: didn't understand what was going on.
20:21
Speaker 1: And then the next second you're like, get bring it in.
20:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you can't leave the house. Unlet's we
20:27
Speaker 2: do this.
20:28
Speaker 1: One second you're torturing them. The next thing you're like,
20:31
Speaker 1: we're all normal again.
20:33
Speaker 2: Anyway, So we had to do that. But this one
20:35
Speaker 2: of the new ones. Have you seen them? It's good
20:36
Speaker 2: at all? So, which is good, which is handy because.
20:38
Speaker 1: It's like like a bingo card or Yeah.
20:41
Speaker 2: Thankfully he was negative in the whole lot, but it
20:43
Speaker 2: just got me thinking about that. Thank god, thank goodness,
20:46
Speaker 2: thank goodness.
20:47
Speaker 1: But it just got me just yeah, remember you keep
20:50
Speaker 1: saying you want to have another pandemic. You love every
20:53
Speaker 1: time there's like a massive like bird foots coming back
20:57
Speaker 1: in China, you're there your mouth like salivating.
20:59
Speaker 2: I'm promoting it. There was someone that actually died of
21:02
Speaker 2: about infection in Sydney, and I was like, here we go.
21:06
Speaker 2: They definitely put him down. They were like, we don't
21:09
Speaker 2: want anything to spread. Let's just get rid of this
21:12
Speaker 2: family probably listening, they're probably listening right now. Well, probably
21:16
Speaker 2: you should have known better than to eat a bat.
21:18
Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
21:19
Speaker 1: Him did it anyway?
21:21
Speaker 2: Anyway? Anyway, So we're on the end and that's good.
21:26
Speaker 1: I just want to give a little update on how
21:27
Speaker 1: things are going with pregnancy number three. We are on
21:30
Speaker 1: the home stretch.
21:31
Speaker 2: You're going to be a dad soon. Thank you, thank you.
21:34
Speaker 1: It feels really really really strange, like, yeah, dad, Matt
21:41
Speaker 1: with a newborn to me is completely raised from my
21:43
Speaker 1: memory to go back there, it seems so yeah.
21:48
Speaker 2: I don't know. Like Macy sometimes she'll PuO in a
21:51
Speaker 2: nappy in bed because she saw it was a nappy
21:53
Speaker 2: in bed. And I'm like, so last night was one
21:55
Speaker 2: of those nights and I had to change the napping.
21:57
Speaker 2: I'm like, I thought I had moved on from this.
21:59
Speaker 2: You're going strained back, dude.
22:01
Speaker 4: I know, I know.
22:02
Speaker 1: It's weird. Even now Laura will say, oh, Popp, he's
22:06
Speaker 1: really wriggling around. Do you want to a feel put
22:08
Speaker 1: my hands there? And I'm feeling these kicks coming through
22:12
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, God, and like less than seven weeks,
22:15
Speaker 1: six weeks by the time this episode comes out, I'm
22:18
Speaker 1: going to have you in my arms. It just blows
22:20
Speaker 1: my absolute mind. But upstairs, I gave you a few
22:25
Speaker 1: messages on the weekend, by the way, about you're going
22:27
Speaker 1: to take that couch? Oh yeah, yeah, because Laura was
22:29
Speaker 1: like it just clicked into gear. She's like, we need
22:32
Speaker 1: to get this place ready now.
22:34
Speaker 2: It's funny. I think you put a story off over
22:36
Speaker 2: the weekend, but it was it wasn't obvious what you
22:39
Speaker 2: were doing, but I decouraged it pretty quickly.
22:41
Speaker 1: We did four bags to the Salvos and she was
22:44
Speaker 1: also like, when is Ash going to take that couch?
22:47
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, he only said yes, and
22:51
Speaker 2: then you're coming over.
22:52
Speaker 1: You're going straight to the airport after this record, and
22:54
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think you can take it.
22:56
Speaker 1: Tick it in after the record and she was like,
22:59
Speaker 1: put it on face marketplace now. I was like, can
23:03
Speaker 1: I just give like ash.
23:04
Speaker 2: A week to pick it up.
23:06
Speaker 1: Just a word of warning when you come back, you
23:09
Speaker 1: have one week to collect that couch, otherwise it is gone.
23:12
Speaker 2: That is not fair. Well, dude, I'll call off.
23:15
Speaker 1: You tell Laura I will, and you complain because we
23:18
Speaker 1: now need to get that room.
23:20
Speaker 2: I guess set up. I'll work on.
23:22
Speaker 1: We don't have anything. We don't have we don't have
23:24
Speaker 1: a pram, we don't have baby clothes, we don't have bottles,
23:28
Speaker 1: we have nothing.
23:31
Speaker 2: We don't have anything.
23:31
Speaker 1: We have a crib.
23:32
Speaker 2: You've got a couch forgot the other day I was like,
23:36
Speaker 2: I was like trying to go to sleep.
23:37
Speaker 4: I was like.
23:43
Speaker 2: Again, I know.
23:44
Speaker 1: And even to top it all off, just when I'm like, gosh, this,
23:48
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot on my plate right now,
23:50
Speaker 1: Laura has thrown out the fact that on the chopping
23:55
Speaker 1: block right now is the name Poppy.
23:58
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to change it because I have a
24:00
Speaker 2: bet going with April that you won't. And I'm going
24:02
Speaker 2: to be very upset if and I heard on their
24:06
Speaker 2: radio show that.
24:07
Speaker 1: Is she talking about on the radio show?
24:09
Speaker 2: What did she say? She's like, it's sort of losing
24:12
Speaker 2: It's like not no, she was like, you know when
24:15
Speaker 2: you're like.
24:15
Speaker 1: It's losing its white sparkle.
24:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit like not know not as that
24:19
Speaker 2: like they were talking about do we continue with it?
24:22
Speaker 4: You know?
24:22
Speaker 1: What do you think? Be honest? Were we too premature
24:27
Speaker 1: with picking the name?
24:28
Speaker 2: Absolutely? But I've put I've put it. I've put my
24:32
Speaker 2: neck on the line here.
24:33
Speaker 1: It's saying that I won't change it.
24:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, April was like that they're going to change it.
24:37
Speaker 2: I'll change I have a feeling that they'll change it.
24:38
Speaker 2: And I was like, they're not. I was so sure
24:40
Speaker 2: of it that I was like, Oh, put a little
24:43
Speaker 2: wager on on it, because why not. It's a bit
24:46
Speaker 2: of fun.
24:47
Speaker 1: What's the wager?
24:48
Speaker 2: I can't remember what she has to do for me
24:50
Speaker 2: if I win, but I know that if she wins,
24:53
Speaker 2: I have to go attend a gym class with her.
24:56
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's not confident.
25:00
Speaker 1: You're going to CrossFit high rocks.
25:02
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know I'm gonna fluff my
25:06
Speaker 2: way out of it somehow. But yeah, don't change it.
25:10
Speaker 1: But it's not up to me. It's it's the boss,
25:12
Speaker 1: very true. It's the boss. It's what she wants to do.
25:15
Speaker 2: So what I need to do is convince you to
25:17
Speaker 2: keep it, convince her to keep it.
25:18
Speaker 1: And I think I don't know if it's helped or hindered,
25:22
Speaker 1: but we watched trolls on the weekend and Queen Poppy
25:26
Speaker 1: Princess Poppy, and I think that gave her the yck, right.
25:31
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I just need a
25:33
Speaker 1: good Poppy to come in front of us, to really
25:36
Speaker 1: just like lock down, just that Poppy is a good thing.
25:40
Speaker 1: I need to have a good person attached to the name.
25:42
Speaker 2: I love the name. They're good. He origionally said you
25:46
Speaker 2: should call it muffin because that is cute. But it's
25:49
Speaker 2: more of a dog's name or a cat or a
25:52
Speaker 2: pet of some description. But Poppy, love it, Love Poppy.
25:58
Speaker 1: What's the middle Wigan Poppy, Pearl, Poppy Pearl Johnson, I
26:02
Speaker 1: love it. I'm trying to find a famous poppy.
26:05
Speaker 2: While you do that, and I'll keep talking to the
26:07
Speaker 2: listeners really quickly. Have you thought about godfathers.
26:12
Speaker 1: No, we don't have any god parents?
26:14
Speaker 2: Would you like one? What do they do?
26:15
Speaker 1: Again?
26:21
Speaker 2: I don't know what they do. If you if there's
26:22
Speaker 2: a horrific accident and you lose your lives and the
26:28
Speaker 2: kids need I guess another adult in the lives, that
26:34
Speaker 2: becomes my responsibility. Who want to be elected?
26:36
Speaker 1: Who are the god parents of your children?
26:39
Speaker 2: I don't have any?
26:40
Speaker 1: Okay?
26:42
Speaker 2: Can I? Just?
26:43
Speaker 1: A god parent, also known as a godfather or godmother,
26:46
Speaker 1: is someone chosen to guide and support a child, particularly
26:50
Speaker 1: in their spiritual development within a religious context. Really, while
26:56
Speaker 1: this role has historically included assuming parental responsibilities, the parents
27:00
Speaker 1: pass away, this is not a legal obligation. Instead, godparents
27:05
Speaker 1: act as mentors, role models, and sponsors of their child's
27:08
Speaker 1: faith journey.
27:09
Speaker 2: The movies were definitely not like that. It was way
27:12
Speaker 2: more violent than that, So I retracted.
27:16
Speaker 1: Do you think being a godparents related to the movie Godfather?
27:19
Speaker 2: Isn't that right?
27:20
Speaker 1: Are you?
27:21
Speaker 2: What do you mean? Wait? No?
27:23
Speaker 1: Whoa pay on a second? Whoa playing on a second?
27:27
Speaker 1: There is a movie called The Godfather, you know, absolutely,
27:30
Speaker 1: But that's not in relation to like being a godparent.
27:34
Speaker 2: Isn't it?
27:35
Speaker 1: Oh?
27:35
Speaker 2: My god? What isn't that what he Isn't that? I've
27:39
Speaker 2: never actually seen it.
27:41
Speaker 1: Do you think the Godfather film is based upon a
27:46
Speaker 1: Godfather parent?
27:47
Speaker 2: I just thought the Mobster was the Godfather of all
27:51
Speaker 2: these people.
27:54
Speaker 1: Okay.
27:55
Speaker 2: I don't like being made fun of. That was real
28:00
Speaker 2: and now I feel stupid, So thank you a little bit. Okay, well,
28:05
Speaker 2: now I've rethought my whole thinking. Go on, I still
28:09
Speaker 2: want to be the Godfather if that means like an
28:13
Speaker 2: off people? Okay, you have throw a lavish wedding.
28:16
Speaker 1: Do I want Poppy to be mentored by you? Yes,
28:20
Speaker 1: Ash Wicks?
28:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh I am the great mentor.
28:26
Speaker 1: Come on, we start a taker of many different industries.
28:31
Speaker 2: That's good. I've got experience.
28:34
Speaker 1: What can you offer?
28:37
Speaker 2: Not a lot? Look, I am a dad already.
28:41
Speaker 1: Okay. If I announced you as Godfather, I will own
28:47
Speaker 1: that title till I die. What's the process? Is it
28:51
Speaker 1: just like you are the Godfather?
28:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like you need to announce it.
28:54
Speaker 1: I want to call Laura right now. I can't make
28:56
Speaker 1: this decision without her input. I need to call it.
28:59
Speaker 1: I can't call it right now because she's doing a
29:00
Speaker 1: podcast record. Can I leave it?
29:03
Speaker 2: Leave it with you?
29:03
Speaker 1: Can I let it marinate.
29:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, I think, Yeah, if I need
29:07
Speaker 2: to be interviewed for the process between you and Laura,
29:11
Speaker 2: then I'm happy to do so.
29:12
Speaker 1: There we will have to be some type of like test.
29:15
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. I thrive in that sort of environment.
29:19
Speaker 2: Do you know, Matthew, It's time for a segment called parant.
29:28
Speaker 4: Want of me?
29:30
Speaker 3: You say what?
29:34
Speaker 1: Man?
29:34
Speaker 2: I feel like a parent?
29:43
Speaker 1: May I just jump in front of you really quickly? Okay?
29:45
Speaker 1: This one is from Julia. She sent this one over
29:47
Speaker 1: the weekend. Julia, thank you for following us on Instagram.
29:50
Speaker 1: At two Dating Dads, she says, parant please and brackets
29:54
Speaker 1: love the pod. I'm three months into the trenches of
29:57
Speaker 1: two under two. Obviously finding activities to entertain my toddler
30:02
Speaker 1: is challenging. But the two seconds she sits in the
30:05
Speaker 1: sandpit and gets covered in sand is not worth the
30:08
Speaker 1: sand she brings back into the house and the full
30:12
Speaker 1: outfit change that follows.
30:14
Speaker 2: Sand is the worst.
30:17
Speaker 1: I did that video.
30:18
Speaker 2: Remember when I was like sand in the shoes, stand
30:20
Speaker 2: in the shoe. I turned him upside down and shook
30:23
Speaker 2: him a bit, and all his sand comes out of orifices.
30:26
Speaker 2: I didn't know he had like pockets and also.
30:29
Speaker 1: Does ask to have a sandpit at school? No, no,
30:32
Speaker 1: thank god, I know, I know.
30:34
Speaker 2: This was just like a two minutes at the park.
30:36
Speaker 1: Now do you know what it was?
30:37
Speaker 2: He walked through the sandpit to get to something else
30:40
Speaker 2: he wanted to play with, and it pretty much came
30:42
Speaker 2: home with BONDI beat Nightmare anyway. Sarah says she spelt
30:48
Speaker 2: parent wrong, so that's good. Don't attack the listeners, bro
30:51
Speaker 2: shit Well if yeah, whatever, we actually we spelled it wrong.
30:55
Speaker 2: If anything, this is from Sarah when the grandparents leave
30:58
Speaker 2: on a nine month trip around Australia and just expect
31:02
Speaker 2: I'll stay at home and look after their grandchildren. So selfish. Oh,
31:09
Speaker 2: I don't know what we do with that, Frank.
31:13
Speaker 1: Mum's gone for the week, and I'm like, when will an.
31:16
Speaker 2: End sink the ship? Get it back here straight away
31:20
Speaker 2: from the next flight. Someone I saw the other day
31:23
Speaker 2: someone said, it's so funny you become a parent and
31:25
Speaker 2: you start asking your parents if you're allowed to go
31:26
Speaker 2: out again, like at at night.
31:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you think you'll be a hands on grandparent?
31:32
Speaker 2: Oh? No, I'm sawyer, No, I probably will I say that.
31:37
Speaker 2: I'm a soft to your heart.
31:38
Speaker 1: You know that, you know you're cold hearted?
31:42
Speaker 2: Cold hearted? Jump still. This one's from Lorrie Laurie Laurie.
31:48
Speaker 2: I can never pronounce people, all right. Other parents at
31:51
Speaker 2: the playground let their kids be absolute menaces, pushing, hitting, screaming, etc.
31:56
Speaker 2: While they sit there with their mates having a cold beverage,
31:59
Speaker 2: turning a blind eye to their child's behavior.
32:04
Speaker 1: You know where it really pisses me off. There is
32:07
Speaker 1: a little park, an indoor park at the pub at
32:10
Speaker 1: Clavelli Hotel. It's very narrow, okay, and it's more of
32:15
Speaker 1: like an obstacle course.
32:17
Speaker 2: We've got one of those.
32:18
Speaker 1: And it's like there's no real option to play in
32:22
Speaker 1: this little indoor park except like you start at the
32:24
Speaker 1: start of the ob school course and you work your
32:26
Speaker 1: way through and there's like the slides in it, and
32:29
Speaker 1: there's boys that I don't want to attack the boys here,
32:32
Speaker 1: I go on, but like the little ten year old
32:34
Speaker 1: boys and they're just Jack is in there, Jack and Billy,
32:38
Speaker 1: they are just turbo turbot. And I remember Marley and
32:41
Speaker 1: Lawler when they were little, they were younger, and they
32:43
Speaker 1: were you know, like slowly making their way through there,
32:45
Speaker 1: and they're getting bowled over, and I was like, I'm
32:47
Speaker 1: going to knock these kids' heads off.
32:49
Speaker 2: The worst thing about that sort of type of playground
32:51
Speaker 2: is when that happens and they get bolder because you
32:53
Speaker 2: know there are little kids in there, and then you've
32:55
Speaker 2: got to go in to rescue. I don't fit And
33:00
Speaker 2: it's like try and explain to a small child who's
33:03
Speaker 2: hurt that I can't get in there because I'm I'm
33:07
Speaker 2: too fat to fit in there, and they just don't.
33:10
Speaker 2: They're like, so kiddy. It's like, and I have climbed
33:14
Speaker 2: into some before and got stuck, So yeah.
33:18
Speaker 1: How many beers did you have before you climbed in?
33:22
Speaker 2: But it's honestly, I cannot stand Actually just on that
33:27
Speaker 2: really quick.
33:28
Speaker 1: Here he is, what do you got for me?
33:29
Speaker 2: This just happened on the weekend I went I went
33:31
Speaker 2: to Melbourne for lunch. Okay, I'm in a nice restaurant
33:34
Speaker 2: with people having a lovely time.
33:36
Speaker 1: I just ask you went there for lunch and you
33:37
Speaker 1: came back a day later.
33:39
Speaker 2: My flag were canceled. I've got receipts I got canceled.
33:45
Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm having a conversation with someone like across
33:49
Speaker 2: from me, like this that having this conversation, and you know,
33:53
Speaker 2: like like something shined in my eye, like you know
33:56
Speaker 2: how when someone gets a mirror and shines the light.
34:00
Speaker 2: I felt that. I thought I must have just been
34:02
Speaker 2: a passing car hit the sun perfectly. What about that?
34:04
Speaker 2: It happened again? What the fuck is going on? And
34:08
Speaker 2: I looked over to the corner and then the table
34:10
Speaker 2: on a corner was a family and their kid mirror.
34:15
Speaker 2: He had a watch, right, he was about ten years old,
34:18
Speaker 2: and he was doing it on purpose. Yeah, and I
34:20
Speaker 2: just I stopped this conversation and I was like, OHI
34:24
Speaker 2: do it again, and he was like and like completely stopped.
34:28
Speaker 2: His parents were oblivious to the whole situation, I know,
34:32
Speaker 2: right next to a window, and it kept going in
34:34
Speaker 2: my eye.
34:34
Speaker 1: Anyway, what would you have done if he did it
34:36
Speaker 1: one more time?
34:37
Speaker 2: Punched the shit out? I would have I would have
34:40
Speaker 2: addressed it properly.
34:41
Speaker 1: With a parents wearing a two dirty dad's shirt.
34:44
Speaker 2: I would have walked over and I would have said, Hey,
34:47
Speaker 2: your kid, that shithead you call a kid keeps shining
34:50
Speaker 2: a mirror in my eyes. I'm going to send you
34:53
Speaker 2: the bill for the optometrists.
34:54
Speaker 1: Do you remember when I asked before called himself a
34:56
Speaker 1: big old softie.
35:00
Speaker 2: Someone says, like someone said to me, you contradict yourself
35:02
Speaker 2: so much. I'm like, I know, I gotta help him.
35:04
Speaker 1: Just a big soft to your heart. I would have
35:06
Speaker 1: strangled that child and watched the live exit his eyes.
35:09
Speaker 2: Have you seen the life leave the child's buddy? Yeah?
35:14
Speaker 1: So anyway, that just happens, keeping people guessing, guessing.
35:20
Speaker 2: It was a proper like it was. I spoke to
35:23
Speaker 2: him like I would speak to Oscar if Oscar was
35:25
Speaker 2: doing something really naughty, I'd be like, do it again,
35:29
Speaker 2: like the full elbow on the table. Wow, I'm not
35:32
Speaker 2: gonna liet, thank you. That's what his mom said. Oh yeah,
35:39
Speaker 2: this wasn't my type anyway. Was the last mine from
35:44
Speaker 2: Tiaging Teagan's a lovely name. Teaking is a nah, that's
35:48
Speaker 2: my ex girlfriends, one of my ex girlfriends names.
35:51
Speaker 1: I feel like it's an older generation. Yeah, it's like
35:54
Speaker 1: it's like many different. It's like Barbara, Barbara. Barbara is
35:58
Speaker 1: like the boomer generation. Teaging millennial. It wouldn't work, taking
36:03
Speaker 1: no offense. He need to name you, was like, oh
36:05
Speaker 1: my god, they're reading out my pair round and we're
36:07
Speaker 1: just like the noes crap.
36:08
Speaker 2: Just bashing it there. It's like you've got to call
36:11
Speaker 2: your kid after like an exotic fruit or something to
36:13
Speaker 2: keep Harber's well, what's that mean? What mean the new
36:16
Speaker 2: generation of kids that they're like, well, whatever.
36:18
Speaker 1: Am I give it, I'm sure you'll steal it?
36:20
Speaker 2: So fine, how do you know what am I going
36:23
Speaker 2: to give it to? I gotta resect me, bro, it's
36:25
Speaker 2: going to rename my kid Poppy.
36:27
Speaker 1: As from Tigan. What is it with boys and wing?
36:31
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a no win situation. My son
36:33
Speaker 1: cannot pee in the bowl. It always ends up all
36:36
Speaker 1: over the seat, floor and even the wall. I think
36:39
Speaker 1: I know the problem is.
36:43
Speaker 2: Three weeks in a row, we're going to mention your
36:45
Speaker 2: six skin.
36:46
Speaker 1: If visitors come over and need to use the toilet,
36:49
Speaker 1: I find myself doing a mad dash before they walk
36:51
Speaker 1: in to check if my son has been in there
36:54
Speaker 1: and made a mess. Recently, he started doing his morning
36:57
Speaker 1: wheek outside, which I was all for as it's one
37:01
Speaker 1: less pissy toilet I have to clean. But he has
37:04
Speaker 1: now ruined a beautiful turf because he seems to have
37:07
Speaker 1: one favorite spot to wi like a dog, and it's
37:12
Speaker 1: now a dirt patch in that area. I cannot win
37:15
Speaker 1: any advice. And no, I'm not up for the ping
37:17
Speaker 1: pong business.
37:18
Speaker 2: I would say, just check the length of his fury.
37:21
Speaker 1: I honestly, I'm not trying to be funny here, but
37:25
Speaker 1: maybe Tigan doesn't know my story. I'll tell it very quickly,
37:27
Speaker 1: like two seconds.
37:28
Speaker 2: This is gonna be like my birth story. Like no
37:30
Speaker 2: more telling this.
37:31
Speaker 1: Story I have like I'm allowed. Like once a month,
37:34
Speaker 1: I had similar thing. I had too much foreskin. I
37:37
Speaker 1: got to cut off. Since then only a couple of
37:39
Speaker 1: drips in the torlet seat.
37:41
Speaker 2: There you go. Eh, that's the solution. I would I
37:44
Speaker 2: really resonated.
37:45
Speaker 1: Watch you we watching we?
37:47
Speaker 2: I don't want to watch him.
37:48
Speaker 4: We not you?
37:49
Speaker 2: Okay, sorry you watch him? We is like, that's weird.
37:52
Speaker 1: What does Oscar do?
37:53
Speaker 2: Oscars? We had that conversation where he was peeing on
37:56
Speaker 2: a seat, putting the seat down, putting back up. Just
37:58
Speaker 2: just a mess. He's starting to at it. But I
38:00
Speaker 2: noticed that he definitely we only got one bathroom in
38:03
Speaker 2: this house, which is irritating. It's so annoying. But I
38:07
Speaker 2: noticed in the corner of like our front deck. The
38:12
Speaker 2: deck is like a right angle and there's it's grass
38:14
Speaker 2: underneath it. It's all dead now. So he's just been
38:17
Speaker 2: pissing off the corner there.
38:18
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone has a part in their house
38:20
Speaker 1: that's a pit spot the back right hand side when
38:23
Speaker 1: the girls want to go outside. I've done some weeding
38:26
Speaker 1: and I'm like, these weeds stink of pits.
38:31
Speaker 2: It's funny how like it kills the grass and shit too.
38:33
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like what are you eating? What are you drinking?
38:35
Speaker 1: It's like acid ash time of questions.
38:39
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it.
38:40
Speaker 1: You want to go? You go first?
38:42
Speaker 2: Okay, Megan, this is from the Facebook group.
38:44
Speaker 1: I did a call out. Great response, that's good.
38:47
Speaker 2: I love that. Great response, And she says, right, oh
38:50
Speaker 2: good start very aussy, right. I So, as two grown
38:54
Speaker 2: ass men who have beards and mows, what were your
38:57
Speaker 2: thoughts at thirteen slash fourteen years of age? The lad
39:02
Speaker 2: is entering that Okay, so her kid is entering that
39:04
Speaker 2: phase and well seems unphased. Did your moms get you
39:08
Speaker 2: into shaving or did you ask?
39:10
Speaker 1: I had this really distinct memory. I think I was
39:13
Speaker 1: about nine when I took my dad's razor and I
39:19
Speaker 1: tried to shave myself. Obviously, I didn't have any facial hair.
39:22
Speaker 1: I just thought, I want to see what all the
39:24
Speaker 1: fuss is about. Yeah, and I cut myself all over.
39:28
Speaker 2: Oh I did it. Not the same thing, but I
39:31
Speaker 2: had a similar like outcome where I like didn't really
39:34
Speaker 2: know what it was and ran my finger along the
39:37
Speaker 2: blade and I was like, what is this?
39:41
Speaker 1: To be honest, I wanted facial hair so bad, so bad.
39:47
Speaker 2: Oh my god. It was like to the point where
39:51
Speaker 2: it was like, how do I grow up faster?
39:53
Speaker 1: Oh?
39:53
Speaker 4: Do?
39:54
Speaker 1: Like I I think that, I swear to God. The
39:59
Speaker 1: fact that I wanted it so bad made it come
40:02
Speaker 1: so much later, I know.
40:02
Speaker 2: And I was just saying, I don't really remember starting.
40:05
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I actually started shaving, like after i'd
40:08
Speaker 2: moved out of home. I was like nineteen, yeah, And
40:12
Speaker 2: I was like, it was pathetic on my face for
40:16
Speaker 2: so long still even if you notice, like with me,
40:19
Speaker 2: I really only ever keep the mustache all the time. Yeah,
40:21
Speaker 2: sometimes I'll go a bit longer, but that's any more
40:24
Speaker 2: than that, and it's like ring. So I'm like, oh, nah,
40:27
Speaker 2: it's not for me.
40:28
Speaker 3: So I don't.
40:30
Speaker 2: It's funny because like in TV, I'm saying TV and
40:34
Speaker 2: all this stuff sorry, I got a bit of music.
40:35
Speaker 2: B that's delicious. They always depicting it's like it's like
40:41
Speaker 2: the right of passage to hand down the shaving. It's like, no,
40:45
Speaker 2: it's not like if I pulled off said come a
40:49
Speaker 2: young fella, we're going to teach you how to shave,
40:52
Speaker 2: and someone's like, don't put sharp blades near your child.
40:56
Speaker 2: I was like, well, he doesn't have a he doesn't
40:58
Speaker 2: have a bed, not yet, he doesn't. And it's like,
41:01
Speaker 2: I don't know how often that would have actually happened,
41:05
Speaker 2: whether it was like I know that my dad would
41:08
Speaker 2: have just avoided every awkward, hygienic, bodily functioned conversation our
41:13
Speaker 2: whole lives. And it's like, there's no way he was
41:16
Speaker 2: teaching me how to shave.
41:17
Speaker 1: You're cutting your fingers off and like help me. He's
41:20
Speaker 1: like no, he's like your own kid.
41:22
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't want to get involved. I've got
41:24
Speaker 2: my own face to shave.
41:26
Speaker 1: I remember my younger brother. I think he must have
41:30
Speaker 1: been like nineteen in and I was, you know, five
41:32
Speaker 1: years older. You were shaving, and him his pubic care
41:37
Speaker 1: was he was getting changed and for the pool and
41:40
Speaker 1: his puper care kind of came out.
41:41
Speaker 2: And it was like a bush.
41:43
Speaker 1: It was yeah. I was like, holy sugar. I was like,
41:47
Speaker 1: what is that thing? And he's like, what, bro, that's
41:50
Speaker 1: my puper care. And I was like, I've never seen
41:52
Speaker 1: anything like that. It was thick, it was lot like
41:54
Speaker 1: a forest, like a pocket mine. And I was like,
41:57
Speaker 1: have you ever trimmed that thing? And he's like, shave
42:00
Speaker 1: what do you mean? And I was like, you got
42:02
Speaker 1: to shave down there like Trumitt.
42:04
Speaker 2: He'd like it was just a more important question, Megan.
42:08
Speaker 2: I think face shaving not as critical. Pubis shaving much
42:13
Speaker 2: more critical in life. Teach teaching, teach him anyway, very
42:17
Speaker 2: good question.
42:18
Speaker 1: In your household? Who was a disciplinarian?
42:22
Speaker 2: Oh? In mine?
42:23
Speaker 1: You know the guy behind you, the tyler watched three kids?
42:30
Speaker 2: He's young.
42:31
Speaker 1: Oh no, he's one of three kids. He's not come
42:34
Speaker 1: down yet. There's three of them up there.
42:36
Speaker 2: How many are you keeping up there? A clown car?
42:42
Speaker 2: It's definitely me, I know, April, this is the thing, right,
42:46
Speaker 2: I'm more of a consistent or authoritarian, But then every
42:51
Speaker 2: now and then when Mum gets cranky, it's way more serious.
42:55
Speaker 2: And I feel like that would be with a lot
42:57
Speaker 2: with the household, like everyone's household, there's that sort of dynamic.
43:00
Speaker 1: I just feel like it's such an easy win to
43:03
Speaker 1: be the favorite when you're not disciplining. And I know
43:05
Speaker 1: that's the wrong thing.
43:07
Speaker 2: No, that's completely right.
43:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at the moment, we're really trying to not
43:12
Speaker 1: let the kids sleep in our bed because babies coming
43:15
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. And last night I don't really
43:19
Speaker 1: remember doing this, but Molly would always come in and
43:21
Speaker 1: struggle with me, and I love it. It's such a
43:23
Speaker 1: nice little moment, like waking up snuggling your child. Beautiful, yeah, lovely.
43:28
Speaker 1: And this morning I kind of realized in my sleep
43:33
Speaker 1: I'd let Mille come into my side and I had
43:36
Speaker 1: to like try and hide her from and then she'd
43:41
Speaker 1: make a noise like hell up, we're gotta get caught.
43:44
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And Laura was like, hang on a second,
43:47
Speaker 1: pulls the sheep back, and Mally's.
43:49
Speaker 2: Like so good, yeahs Laura more, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:56
Speaker 1: Yeah. The argument right now in our household is the
43:59
Speaker 1: fact that I need to be more proactive with saying
44:02
Speaker 1: no one disciplining, because I just kind of I take
44:04
Speaker 1: a step back. I could go with the tide of
44:06
Speaker 1: it and then and then Laura will like leave the
44:07
Speaker 1: room and I'm like, God, she's a nightmare, isn't she.
44:10
Speaker 1: She's awful.
44:10
Speaker 2: I got this thing where it's like I just don't
44:12
Speaker 2: want the kids jumping on the couch, like it messes
44:14
Speaker 2: the couch up, I've got to clean it. It's really annoyed.
44:16
Speaker 2: So I'm always like, don't jump on the couch. But
44:18
Speaker 2: I notice when I'm not in the room and April's
44:22
Speaker 2: in the room and the kids jumping on the couch,
44:23
Speaker 2: she says nothing, and I'm like, we need to be united,
44:28
Speaker 2: and she's like, oh sorry, I wasn't an excuse. Is
44:30
Speaker 2: always the same bullshit, bullshit. You just couldn't be bothered
44:34
Speaker 2: having it. You much really be the favorite. And we're
44:37
Speaker 2: at lunch, has say kids were the kids were all
44:39
Speaker 2: over are and she was like, what's it really set
44:41
Speaker 2: them off? She was like what's She was like, what's
44:43
Speaker 2: it like to have space? I'm like, I'm like, well,
44:45
Speaker 2: it's actually kind of nice because I actually disciplined the
44:47
Speaker 2: children then and it's just like what But it's definitely
44:51
Speaker 2: maybe if April kicks off, like if you get a
44:54
Speaker 2: oh yeah, you better look out.
44:55
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, packs a punch okay, and that my sisters
45:03
