- 2:31Speaker 2: May call it the babysitter. Laura has been fucking nervous
- 2:35Speaker 2: because hitt and run gate. We didn't say who it
- 2:37Speaker 2: was the name of the babysitter. Obviously the babysitter. She
- 2:40Speaker 2: knows who she is.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You know she Laura.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I don't know if this is true, because Laura maybe
- 2:48Speaker 2: changed a few little details about the story, not like
- 2:52Speaker 2: it did a bellowshit, but just how we referenced her
- 2:55Speaker 2: and the baby.
- 2:55Speaker 1: So and Laura is like I still speak to her,
- 2:58Speaker 1: And I was like, shit, people make mistakes.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Yeah, She like, she can't expect to not have some
- 3:05Speaker 2: repercussions of her actions.
- 3:08Speaker 1: She thought she got away with it. Yeah, oh my god,
- 3:11Speaker 1: manage been deported. She's fry. I didn't know that. Yeah,
- 3:17Speaker 1: So there has been some follow up. People want to know,
- 3:21Speaker 1: so I'll just run them three week waterforce force they
- 3:24Speaker 1: want to The first question is pretty straightforward. Where did
- 3:30Speaker 1: you find her? Question? Did she lie about her experience?
- 3:34Speaker 1: Don't you know who you are? Because I feel like,
- 3:38Speaker 1: as bad as it is, it's iconic for her.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Be a good eyes break.
- 3:44Speaker 1: If you're meeting a new group of friends, you're like, yeah,
- 3:47Speaker 1: there's something interesting about you. Well, one time I was
- 3:51Speaker 1: in my car. There's more questions here. What can I
- 3:54Speaker 1: answer them? First? Are you going to keep asking?
- 3:55Speaker 4: Oh?
- 3:56Speaker 1: You sort of answered that one? The whatever where'd you
- 3:59Speaker 1: find her? Thank you? Okay? Facebook? I think I think
- 4:04Speaker 1: I think it was Facebook? I can't remember.
- 4:06Speaker 2: We were searching everywhere far and wide, except I did.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I did decide not to use an agency because the
- 4:14Speaker 2: rates were too high. Wow, So I opted not for
- 4:18Speaker 2: the agency and I went rogue. I did it myself
- 4:21Speaker 2: on Facebook through like one of those like find a
- 4:23Speaker 2: Murderer dot com or something by.
- 4:26Speaker 1: A criminal dot com. Very good. We also got here.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Have you heard anything after? Have you heard from her after?
- 4:32Speaker 1: Like at all?
- 4:33Speaker 2: You said, I reckon, she still speaks to her about what?
- 4:36Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, do we believe Laura? Like, I
- 4:42Speaker 1: don't know if they're still speaking. I'm not sure she's fine. No,
- 4:48Speaker 1: other families have been hurt so far as we know
- 4:51Speaker 1: that we know of. And then someone was like, was
- 4:53Speaker 1: there seriously no witness? Imagine if the Daily Mail got
- 4:56Speaker 1: a hold of it. There were witnesses. I want to say,
- 4:59Speaker 1: twenty people. No, she ran them down as well.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Yeah people, how No, I don't know if people. It
- 5:07Speaker 2: all happens so quick I'm not.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Sure if everyone saysn't it an accident? Well, luckily it.
- 5:13Speaker 2: All happened quick enough that no one was able to
- 5:15Speaker 2: take any kind of video evidence. You know of me
- 5:19Speaker 2: then panicking with the kids, crying in the background.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I wonder if there's any cc TV.
- 5:24Speaker 2: I don't think there is along that route of the
- 5:27Speaker 2: I don't tell me where it is. I'm not I'm
- 5:31Speaker 2: innocent here. I'm a victim. You are, yes, anyway, I
- 5:35Speaker 2: have some housekeeping for you. Oh my god, Jess has
- 5:39Speaker 2: just raised a very good point here.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually I will raise this with Laura.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Don't you worry the fact that Laura follows our babysitter,
- 5:47Speaker 2: the murderer, attempted murderer and doesn't follow producer jests.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Oh sorry as a scene scene and no response back.
- 6:04Speaker 1: We'll keep you updated on that one. This is just
- 6:07Speaker 1: a little I want to say, how do you do?
- 6:11Speaker 1: How do you say this? What do you call when
- 6:14Speaker 1: you're giving someone like Latio?
- 6:20Speaker 2: It's a community service community announcement.

- 7:01Speaker 1: it must have been good. Oh she was anyway, she
- 7:04Speaker 1: had worms.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Well done, because if you don't worm, this is what
- 7:08Speaker 2: can happen. My daughter had to get her appendix out

- 7:30Speaker 2: Not being passed up like this needs this needs to
- 7:33Speaker 2: be fucking more public.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Yes, to start a campaign. There needs to be like
- 7:37Speaker 1: ads on TV or like wormy kids or they lose

- 7:45Speaker 1: What are they eating in there?

- 7:51Speaker 2: They think she picked them up from the bunnies they
- 7:53Speaker 2: have at school.
- 7:55Speaker 1: For I one time got ringworm from a bunny? Where
- 7:58Speaker 1: was it? It was right there? On my phone.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Where was the bunny?
- 8:03Speaker 1: Bunny? Oh, my girlfriend at the time had one. I
- 8:06Speaker 1: used to pick. Yeah, she's really hard. I was only
- 8:12Speaker 1: your teenagers. Let me tell you.
- 8:14Speaker 2: After the horrible appendix removal and recovery, I square of
- 8:18Speaker 2: bum worm chocolates, she's lost the ability to talk as well.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Thanks Blue. Every Holidays is a walk in the park.
- 8:26Speaker 2: I'm not sure I lost her at the end here.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Maybe Blue has a worming tablet. I've got you because
- 8:31Speaker 1: I would actually line up really well for marketing dogs

- 8:43Speaker 1: I mean it's an appendix. Everyone get doesn't everyone get there?
- 8:45Speaker 2: At some point it would be I remember, I think
- 8:48Speaker 2: this could be about Laura. Don't quote me about this.
- 8:51Speaker 2: I think she said she had a stomach ache and
- 8:53Speaker 2: her mum was like, you'll be fine, Maybe should take
- 8:56Speaker 2: this out of the podcast, and I think she'd get
- 9:00Speaker 2: rushed rushed to hospital to have her appendix out. I'm
- 9:02Speaker 2: pretty sure it does happened. I would call Laura, but
- 9:05Speaker 2: she's calling. Yes, you will also come back to this.
- 9:09Speaker 2: So much housekeeping, so much to do.
- 9:11Speaker 1: We never housekeep. I know That's why there's so much.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I always say, let it build up, don't stay on it,
- 9:19Speaker 1: don't consistently do a little bit if we're not housekeeping.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Just this is on you to tell us. You got
- 9:25Speaker 2: to remind you, remind us.
- 9:27Speaker 1: He's looking at me all that. I don't know you
- 9:30Speaker 1: all the words. You you have big news, the biggest news.
- 9:36Speaker 1: It's milestone in my life, and I'm proud.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I was like, I didn't think. I didn't think it's
- 9:42Speaker 2: going to happen.
- 9:42Speaker 1: I know. I was like maybe in six months. We've
- 9:45Speaker 1: been two and frowing for years about how you've been
- 9:48Speaker 1: at me to get in the property market. Yeah, you know,
- 9:51Speaker 1: because you've got to diversified portfolio.
- 9:54Speaker 2: You you're so close.
- 9:57Speaker 1: I'm so close. Am I better than everyone? Yes? I
- 10:01Speaker 1: have purchased a property. We're not a property.
- 10:05Speaker 4: What I call it the house, call it a property,
- 10:07Speaker 4: a unit. It's essentially a unit. I want to downplay it.
- 10:10Speaker 4: It's imagine I'm calling it the penthouse. It's on it's
- 10:15Speaker 4: the top level. Love a two story, but it.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Is the penthouse. And my kids now have a house
- 10:24Speaker 1: or somewhere to live now.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Just okay, I'm trying to wrap my head around the
- 10:28Speaker 2: fact that this all happened so quick. One second you
- 10:30Speaker 2: told me I have pre approval, okay, and you've said
- 10:33Speaker 2: this to me before, and then you just you tease me,
- 10:38Speaker 2: and then I let it expire, and then you let
- 10:40Speaker 2: it expire, and then this time around, you have pre approval.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Next minute you're like, you.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Know, I'm pretty good. Mainly didn't win, but I bought
- 10:48Speaker 1: a property. What Yeah, never let them know your next move.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Who found it? So look, last time we started house
- 10:57Speaker 1: hunting is when I had a real job, and then
- 11:01Speaker 1: eventually I got made redundant. It's kind of like a
- 11:03Speaker 1: blessing in disguise, really, because I wasn't really worked anyway.
- 11:06Speaker 1: We were just doing this. If I was listening, yes
- 11:08Speaker 1: I was. So we got pre approval then, but it
- 11:12Speaker 1: was for not a lot. We weren't going to get
- 11:14Speaker 1: a lot from money, but we wanted to get in
- 11:15Speaker 1: as you're trying to do. We waited two more years.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Oscar has lived in six houses and he's six.
- 11:22Speaker 2: It must be pretty normal for him then to move house.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Yes, and we don't want that. That's what we were like.
- 11:27Speaker 1: We want to stop it now.
- 11:28Speaker 5: We want the memories, Yeah, we want we want we
- 11:31Speaker 5: don't the anxiety around moving, and we every time I've moved,
- 11:35Speaker 5: which I've moved like four times of being on this podcast,
- 11:37Speaker 5: every time I move, we talk about how fucking painful
- 11:41Speaker 5: it is, and that's just us talking about how painful
- 11:44Speaker 5: it It is, actually that fucking painful and everyone knows that.
- 11:47Speaker 1: So I think like it was getting to the point
- 11:48Speaker 1: where April was the anxiety of thinking about moving again
- 11:53Speaker 1: not for a long time was really getting to it,
- 11:55Speaker 1: and it was you could tell that it was making
- 11:58Speaker 1: it quite emotional because it don't be good for Oscar
- 12:01Speaker 1: to be. So we were like, what do y poppers
- 12:06Speaker 1: two places in worry? Would poppers again? Hoppers for a while? Yeah? Twice? Yeah,
- 12:12Speaker 1: and like then we yeah, so we decided to do
- 12:15Speaker 1: something about it. We'd waited two years since been met redundant,
- 12:18Speaker 1: so we've been doing this for two years.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Can I just and I mean, I'm not trying to
- 12:21Speaker 2: be funny here from when New Year, because I know
- 12:24Speaker 2: it was a big question mark of like do I
- 12:26Speaker 2: throw in the nine to five?
- 12:28Speaker 1: Do I do this stuff? Make content, make people laugh? Entertained? Yeah,
- 12:32Speaker 1: full time?
- 12:33Speaker 2: And I was like do it, man, do it and
- 12:35Speaker 2: look look at it look look at it now, I
- 12:37Speaker 2: know where it was.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Funny, Like when I tell people this in other podcasts,
- 12:41Speaker 1: I do I what No, like when I'm a guest. Sorry,
- 12:45Speaker 1: my other parenting. No, I got a secret laugh you
- 12:48Speaker 1: don't know about it. I've just hidden everything from your life.
- 12:53Speaker 1: My other podcasts, they've been a guest and people ask
- 12:55Speaker 1: me how all this started? Right, And honestly, I think
- 12:58Speaker 1: it's a very good story. It's a beautiful story. It's beautiful,
- 13:01Speaker 1: some would say, and like I made my first video
- 13:03Speaker 1: with two hundred and twenty followers like, and into read
- 13:07Speaker 1: the reality of that, and Pete put it really Pete
- 13:10Speaker 1: from the cafe shout out to Peak. He got me
- 13:12Speaker 1: all in the fields the other day because he found
- 13:15Speaker 1: out because the agent is a frequent visitor of the cafe.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And you know what these Italians are like the shut up.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I don't know what they like, ash you, that's all racist. No,
- 13:27Speaker 1: for the record, I love Italians beautiful food, don't get
- 13:31Speaker 1: me wrong. They like to say it. They loved to
- 13:32Speaker 1: gossip loudly. Now I'm getting a little bit racist. Sorry,
- 13:38Speaker 1: fuck sorry, all right, let's start again, he said to me.
- 13:42Speaker 1: He rang me up and he was like I didn't
- 13:44Speaker 1: know that he knew rang me up and he said,
- 13:45Speaker 1: I just want to ring up Toad. I'm proud of you.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I said, why, he goes fifteen years ago, you moved
- 13:50Speaker 1: to Sydney. Back to Sydney on your own with nothing,
- 13:53Speaker 1: but I had a bag and I lived on their
- 13:55Speaker 1: computer room floor for six months. I had to watch
- 13:58Speaker 1: them play PlayStation of all our nights trying to sleep.
- 14:02Speaker 1: I had to wake up to their old man naked.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Most of the time. I was quite often ushered out
- 14:08Speaker 1: of my own bedroom just at random hours of the day.
- 14:12Speaker 1: I had three jobs. What are you doing at the time.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I worked at two Italian restaurants. That's why I know
- 14:20Speaker 1: so much abount Italians and what else I do? And
- 14:24Speaker 1: I was worked at Target. I think I've had a
- 14:26Speaker 1: lot of jobs anyway. But he was like, now look
- 14:29Speaker 1: at you, and I was like, fuck, you're right, bro,
- 14:32Speaker 1: Like I never ever, I never ever pumped myself up
- 14:37Speaker 1: like that. But yeah, like from that point to now, crazy,
- 14:41Speaker 1: it's the crazy amount of jobs I've had. But then
- 14:45Speaker 1: this one was the one that it was like, I
- 14:48Speaker 1: remember April was saying to me for a long time
- 14:49Speaker 1: because I used to you know someone with ADHD working,
- 14:52Speaker 1: you get bored things so fucking easily waiting for the
- 14:57Speaker 1: tapping the shoulder and you're like, pretty bored, do you? Pawn?
- 15:01Speaker 1: I was like I'd always wing and complain about when
- 15:04Speaker 1: I was doing not like that. I just wasn't enjoying it.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Nothing stimulated me enough. I don't know. We're trying to
- 15:14Speaker 1: be serious, and yeah, April was always like, we'll find
- 15:18Speaker 1: something that you love and you won't work a day
- 15:19Speaker 1: in your lafe And here I am. Chase your dreams.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Kids, remember that, remember that, write this down.
- 15:25Speaker 1: We're giving advice. But yeah, I bought a place. We're
- 15:29Speaker 1: moving in in a few weeks.
- 15:31Speaker 2: This is going to sound weird. Yeah, but when you
- 15:34Speaker 2: walked in you saw the place the first inspection, will
- 15:38Speaker 2: you hit with that feeling of you know, yeah, so
- 15:43Speaker 2: I only looked at two other places and you didn't
- 15:46Speaker 2: get the films.
- 15:47Speaker 1: No, it wasn't like Look, I was pretty easy with him.
- 15:51Speaker 1: It's April. It needs to be perfect her And I
- 15:54Speaker 1: said to her, look, I'm not going to come to
- 15:56Speaker 1: a million inspections for you to point out the little
- 15:59Speaker 1: thing that can be fixed and not like that place
- 16:02Speaker 1: because that's already in your mind. And that's how my
- 16:04Speaker 1: wife is. If she doesn't have that feeling or like
- 16:08Speaker 1: straight away or there's something that she can't get out
- 16:10Speaker 1: of me, here's one for you. Go on. So we
- 16:12Speaker 1: live in this country. She's gonna hate me for this
- 16:15Speaker 1: perfect this is going to be great. Fuck it is silly.
- 16:19Speaker 1: It's silly. So when we were at the last place
- 16:21Speaker 1: and we had the whole ordeal, I might have even
- 16:23Speaker 1: told this story. We're the whole ordeal of being kicked
- 16:26Speaker 1: out because I complained about something wasn't safe anyway, there's
- 16:29Speaker 1: laws now in place. I missed the laws because they
- 16:31Speaker 1: just put them in place that would have protected us
- 16:33Speaker 1: from that. But we had to move out really hastily.
- 16:36Speaker 1: You're a pioneer, I am. Some would call me a
- 16:38Speaker 1: pine I would you did? Anyway, So we had to
- 16:43Speaker 1: hastily move two kids under five out of this house.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Where are we going to live? I don't know. We
- 16:48Speaker 1: had to go back to pop Us for a bit,
- 16:49Speaker 1: and then eventually we our friends were like, we're moving
- 16:52Speaker 1: up the coast, do you want to rent our place out?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Just and it was really flexible and when you find
- 16:58Speaker 1: something down the track, then you can just let us know.
- 17:00Speaker 1: And it was the perfect situation. Granted, really old fucking house. Whatever.
- 17:04Speaker 1: It was nice to have a big house for a while.
- 17:07Speaker 1: But we went and had to look at it because
- 17:09Speaker 1: April had never been there. I'd been there before. And
- 17:11Speaker 1: we left after looking at it, and I was like, look,
- 17:14Speaker 1: it's cheaper than anything that's out there. Because they're friends.
- 17:17Speaker 1: There's no bond, it's perfect, there's an agreement in place. Yeah,
- 17:19Speaker 1: but all good. And April goes I don't know. I
- 17:24Speaker 1: was like why. It's like, oh, you're gonna laugh. But
- 17:27Speaker 1: they had a shower curtain, and I was like, I'm
- 17:34Speaker 1: sow red. I was like, I'm pulling rank. I'm pulling
- 17:38Speaker 1: rank on this one. I'm only allowing to pull rank
- 17:40Speaker 1: once in my life, and this is it. I'm like,
- 17:42Speaker 1: we are not knocking this down because of a shower curtain.
- 17:46Speaker 1: To be fair, I can't like and I like that
- 17:50Speaker 1: about it. Not that sticks to me. I like it
- 17:53Speaker 1: about that. When I finished my shower, I fling it
- 17:56Speaker 1: so hard, like it's like a Broadway curtain and it's
- 18:00Speaker 1: slams onto the wall and it stuck there. I'm like
- 18:03Speaker 1: a seen so tired. But I was like to April
- 18:09Speaker 1: we could replace it. She was like, oh, can you.
- 18:12Speaker 1: I was like yes, But then I told my friend,
- 18:16Speaker 1: who told the people who owned the place the story,
- 18:20Speaker 1: and we're on the phone loudspeaker. April didn't know I
- 18:23Speaker 1: had told anybody, and the last thing they said to
- 18:27Speaker 1: us on the loud speaker was let Abral know that
- 18:29Speaker 1: we replaced the shell, and she was like. I was like,
- 18:35Speaker 1: oh fuck. Sorry. Anyway, I said to April, I'm not
- 18:40Speaker 1: going through that again. The places that you would be
- 18:44Speaker 1: one hundred percent on, then I'll come to those ones
- 18:47Speaker 1: the second inspection. I'll watch the kids while you go
- 18:49Speaker 1: do it whatever. And then we saw this place through
- 18:53Speaker 1: it at an agent we knew, and we went down
- 18:56Speaker 1: and saw it and I just said to able and
- 18:57Speaker 1: making an offer because it was everything we needed. There
- 18:59Speaker 1: was like nothing really great, It's so good. I was like,
- 19:03Speaker 1: I was rattled. And my mum was over the other
- 19:05Speaker 1: day and she was like, if this goes through, this
- 19:08Speaker 1: is going to have to be one of the easiest
- 19:10Speaker 1: house purchases of all say that because she's just trying
- 19:14Speaker 1: to jinx it. Yeah, but I was like, what could
- 19:16Speaker 1: possibly go wrong?
- 19:18Speaker 2: This is so perfect?
- 19:19Speaker 1: Yeah? And then we get a call from the from
- 19:21Speaker 1: the broker. All everything's approved, ready to go. Just gotta
- 19:23Speaker 1: just gotta move in there.
- 19:25Speaker 2: I'm like, what Sometimes, Ash, good things happen to good people.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I know, I don't know how. I don't know how
- 19:30Speaker 1: happened to me though. Anyway, excited, everyone's excited, and maybe,
- 19:36Speaker 1: yes there is. I am finally an adult.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Welcome to the world of.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Never ending doubts. I've a couple of years, though, so
- 19:44Speaker 1: I can make I can maybe get through it. I think.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Yeah, So when do you move in?
- 19:49Speaker 1: How well in September, so we'll do a record from that. Yeah, great,
- 19:53Speaker 1: can't wait. We'll also play simulator. What are you doing
- 19:56Speaker 1: with the skate ramp? Very good question. I don't think
- 19:58Speaker 1: it's going to fit in the living room?
- 20:00Speaker 2: Well is it like a communal garden that you can.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Classic? I really want to ram soon as I got it?
- 20:09Speaker 1: What do I do it? Who did you pay for
- 20:10Speaker 1: that ramp? It's like a thousand Bucky, I've got a
- 20:13Speaker 1: few people that want.
- 20:14Speaker 2: It, so easy coming, easy go. My news is nowhere
- 20:18Speaker 2: near as exciting as yours. Late on you would have
- 20:21Speaker 2: seen Ash that I was in North Queens and another
- 20:24Speaker 2: trip yep. Well look I was down south down there,
- 20:29Speaker 2: you were up north, and I'm just where are you.
- 20:31Speaker 2: I'm miss spreading the web of Maddy j.
- 20:34Speaker 1: All across this country.
- 20:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great. It was great except except look
- 20:41Speaker 2: we were the flight from city to Canns. For anyone
- 20:43Speaker 2: who doesn't know, I'll tell you Ash it's three hours
- 20:48Speaker 2: and fifteen immediately.
- 20:49Speaker 1: No, No, it's too far for a domestic flight. It's long.
- 20:53Speaker 1: It's long. It's not barley though.
- 20:55Speaker 2: That's like six hours.
- 20:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd much rather go to the extra.
- 20:57Speaker 2: To I'm no mathematician, but it's half.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Of that almost, isn't it. Yeah? Almost six And I
- 21:03Speaker 1: was like, you.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Know what, the kids actually love it. They don't get
- 21:06Speaker 2: a lot of iPad time, but on the planes we
- 21:09Speaker 2: allow it.
- 21:10Speaker 1: You guys are very good at not giving screen time.
- 21:12Speaker 1: We scaled the back, yeah, big time.
- 21:14Speaker 2: We got into a phase where we were like everyday
- 21:16Speaker 2: kids would wake up before in the morning to be.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Like, where's the screen? Yeah. It was like fucked Ever,
- 21:21Speaker 1: I think every parent's going to go through that.
- 21:22Speaker 2: You got to go the pendulum has to swing both ways,
- 21:26Speaker 2: and Laura then goes and I don't want to put
- 21:28Speaker 2: this on Laura go on, back a mine.
- 21:31Speaker 1: Laura goes, I don't think we should bring the iPads.
- 21:36Speaker 1: I was like, I was like the hairs on my
- 21:38Speaker 1: neck just stood up. I was like, but why what for?
- 21:42Speaker 1: It's the best part.
- 21:43Speaker 2: The kids sit there like I've done it before, where
- 21:46Speaker 2: like I've had a nap on the plane and I've
- 21:48Speaker 2: woken up and the kids are still watching the iPad locked.
- 21:51Speaker 1: In and well, if I'm desperate for a nap at home,
- 21:54Speaker 1: I just give them the iPads and sleep next to them.
- 21:58Speaker 1: It's great. It's so good.
- 22:00Speaker 2: So I was like, well, we've got such a good
- 22:02Speaker 2: thing going, why would why would you want to ruin that?
- 22:05Speaker 2: But she was like no, like the kids are actually
- 22:08Speaker 2: not all the time, but off the back of the
- 22:09Speaker 2: plane trip the whole next three days, the kids are
- 22:12Speaker 2: like where's the iPad? And You're like, enjoy the fucking holiday.
- 22:16Speaker 2: We're not going to go home and watch the iPad.
- 22:18Speaker 2: I don't swear my kids. By the way, if anyone listening,
- 22:20Speaker 2: well you should. So I was like, okay, fine, no mypads.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I was like, what are we going to do? Yeah?
- 22:27Speaker 1: I was like, look out.
- 22:28Speaker 2: The brought some coloring in pencils, and two. I know,
- 22:32Speaker 2: but my is into lego a little bit, and so
- 22:36Speaker 2: I was I was like, we could we can do
- 22:39Speaker 2: some lego and Lego's pretty good.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Bro, Me and Oscar are for Frothen on the Lego,
- 22:47Speaker 1: I've got you got it? What do you mean just
- 22:50Speaker 1: fucking breaking it?
- 22:51Speaker 5: Oh?
- 22:52Speaker 1: No, hang on one second. I showed you. While are
- 22:54Speaker 1: you fixing that? I've showed you Oscar's Lego collection? Amn't
- 22:57Speaker 1: I very impressive? Put that up on two dads, Bro's
- 23:01Speaker 1: that's private.
- 23:04Speaker 2: So Marley was into this, and then there was always
- 23:08Speaker 2: I don't know if you ever wo ask her, But
- 23:09Speaker 2: then there was a turning point where this took almost
- 23:13Speaker 2: the entire flight to build this thing, and Marley was
- 23:16Speaker 2: like it started off where Marley would have the instructions
- 23:18Speaker 2: and I would give her the pieces required right, and
- 23:22Speaker 2: then some parts were harder than others, so then I
- 23:24Speaker 2: would help her out. And then Marley was like, I'm
- 23:27Speaker 2: getting pretty tired in an eight o'clock flight, so we're
- 23:30Speaker 2: up pretty early.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Wow.
- 23:31Speaker 2: So Marley was having a nap and I was still
- 23:33Speaker 2: there doing it, working away.
- 23:35Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, It's risky doing Lego on
- 23:37Speaker 1: a plane because if you drop a bit, mate, that's gone.
- 23:39Speaker 1: That's it. The little cup holder in the tray. I
- 23:42Speaker 1: had it in there, but then I stressful, container, take
- 23:47Speaker 1: a container. I should have had a container, thank you?
- 23:51Speaker 1: Oh my god? What is that? I can't be sure
- 23:56Speaker 1: what it is called? I just a Pokemon, isn't it.
- 23:58Speaker 1: No it's not crash, No, it's a dinosaur. Okay, so
- 24:03Speaker 1: that's clever. It is wild what they gets missing something.
- 24:07Speaker 1: It's wild. That's right, we'll find it. It's wild what
- 24:11Speaker 1: they can do with Lego now.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Right, it's the AI is going to be making those
- 24:15Speaker 2: things right now.
- 24:15Speaker 1: He's a fun fact for you. Please. Lego have actually
- 24:18Speaker 1: lost the patent for Lego. Yeah that's to who to whom?
- 24:24Speaker 1: So no to no one. So like, have you not
- 24:27Speaker 1: noticed now if you go to the shop that came
- 24:32Speaker 1: out have their own generic Lego that fits with this Lego.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I was like, how have they got a stranglehold on
- 24:37Speaker 1: this product? Yeah, they had it, they just just lost it.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Because now, Mattel, who do hot wheels and stuff?
- 24:44Speaker 2: You were deep in the Lego game.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know, I'm a veteran, but yeah, mate,
- 24:49Speaker 1: Lego this is good. This good gear. But the issue
- 24:51Speaker 1: was we landed.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Marley kind of woke up from a nap and was done,
- 24:55Speaker 2: and she was like, can.
- 24:56Speaker 1: I play with it?
- 24:57Speaker 2: I was like no, yeah, yeah.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Claimed then she broke it and I was like, you
- 25:02Speaker 1: I think about like she like, because it.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Comes apart, okay, yeah, yeah, and it does.
- 25:08Speaker 1: But it's so hard to try and explain to the
- 25:11Speaker 1: kids that Lego, the playing bit is the building it,
- 25:16Speaker 1: the not playing bit is the rest of it is
- 25:19Speaker 1: meant to be like kept like nicely. Like that's trying
- 25:23Speaker 1: to explain that to them.
- 25:24Speaker 2: They like, that's my only qualem is that it's it's epic,
- 25:28Speaker 2: but it's like, so I need to glue it together
- 25:31Speaker 2: so it does break.
- 25:31Speaker 1: So what my mom did with Oscar when we were
- 25:34Speaker 1: on the when we did the cruises last year, how
- 25:36Speaker 1: can I forget? Thank you? And what she mum would do.
- 25:40Speaker 1: She'd buy Lego and a container, right, and so they
- 25:43Speaker 1: would she would build it with Oscar and then pack
- 25:46Speaker 1: it down and keep it in the thing so next
- 25:48Speaker 1: time they can redo it. Redo it.
- 25:50Speaker 2: Yeah, missus, Wick's not just a pretty face, I know,
- 25:53Speaker 2: And it's like found the piece there it is.
- 25:56Speaker 1: We're complete, We're whole. But that is good, good year.
- 26:01Speaker 1: But yeah, they do get Oscar to get so frustrated
- 26:04Speaker 1: because he's a perfectionate when it breaks, man, Marley was
- 26:09Speaker 1: Maley was walking it through the air terminal, air terminal,
- 26:12Speaker 1: the plane terminal, the airport, and I look over and.
- 26:18Speaker 2: She's melting down because she's like it's falling, a part,
- 26:21Speaker 2: melting in her hands.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And I was like, just pack blood and tears.
- 26:27Speaker 1: But also they don't realize that you just rebuild it.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Yeah, if anyone wondering, I'll put a foighto on social media.
- 26:32Speaker 2: You can admire my work at Marley's work. But there's
- 26:35Speaker 2: something happened on the plane as well, which I've never
- 26:38Speaker 2: seen in person before. Is it called what's it called
- 26:42Speaker 2: on the plane? When you sit there? You remember Puddy
- 26:45Speaker 2: from Seinfeld on the plane raw dog dogg raw dogging? Okay,
- 26:49Speaker 2: David Buddy a character To anyone who doesn't know the
- 26:54Speaker 2: scene from Seinfeld, it's where you just he sits there.
- 26:57Speaker 2: He doesn't eat anything, he doesn't watch anything. He just
- 27:02Speaker 2: stares at the seat in front of him.
- 27:03Speaker 1: But it causes an argument with Elane. Alane's like, what
- 27:05Speaker 1: are you doing? And I was like, that never happens
- 27:11Speaker 1: until you've seen it in the wile.
- 27:13Speaker 2: So the way that we were sitting, it was in
- 27:15Speaker 2: the one row window was Lola, Laura, an old man.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Then it was me on the aisle and Marley.
- 27:23Speaker 3: Okay, so he had a buffer, this old human buffer.
- 27:25Speaker 3: This old man must have been about seventy Okay. He
- 27:29Speaker 3: got on the plane, he sat there and he just
- 27:33Speaker 3: didn't move. He just stared at the seat in front.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Okay.
- 27:37Speaker 2: And also because you know, we're handing over some snacks
- 27:40Speaker 2: and some coloring impensace, so I'm there going sorry.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Mate, apologies, and then going in front of him. He
- 27:46Speaker 1: just I was like, is he dead? Was he? I
- 27:49Speaker 1: think he was?
- 27:50Speaker 2: He didn't get he didn't move a muscle. The ladies
- 27:54Speaker 2: came twice twice ash on the flight to offer some refreshments.
- 27:58Speaker 2: You have a free teal coffee, a free water, free
- 28:02Speaker 2: He didn't even react. He just sat there.
- 28:05Speaker 1: The fuck I know?
- 28:06Speaker 2: Was he?
- 28:07Speaker 1: And he's not like he's chasing clout because he's what's
- 28:10Speaker 1: he just doing on his own court? He was he
- 28:12Speaker 1: was doing. I have no idea. I think he was reflecting.
- 28:15Speaker 1: He had some demons. Yeah, he was electing on something.
- 28:18Speaker 1: There's a lot of pain.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Behind those eyes. Well, but then we got to cans,
- 28:22Speaker 2: got the cans and it was great, very good, thirty
- 28:25Speaker 2: degrees the summer year.
- 28:26Speaker 1: I'm still raddled with the guy raw dog I know
- 28:29Speaker 1: is fucking White's why I was.
- 28:31Speaker 2: I'd go to bed at nighttime when we're up there,
- 28:33Speaker 2: going like, wonder what he's doing now, Like does he eat?
- 28:36Speaker 1: I don't know, did he sleep or anything? Unless I
- 28:39Speaker 1: missed it like a micro out of a toilet, no
- 28:43Speaker 1: great bladder for an old boy. Wow, Absolutely nothing wrong
- 28:46Speaker 1: with that. I don't know. I don't know how people
- 28:48Speaker 1: do that. Man, I can't. If I stare at the
- 28:50Speaker 1: back of the seat, I think, I think I'm out
- 28:53Speaker 1: of whatever I'm in.
- 28:54Speaker 2: We're about to like that generation of raw Doggers' they're
- 28:58Speaker 2: dying out.
- 28:59Speaker 1: The last one you saw one of the last one
- 29:01Speaker 1: of Salon Honor.
- 29:06Speaker 2: It was, yeah, like a bird watcher, who's like, oh
- 29:09Speaker 2: the blue crusted eagle, little book seven year old Cooca
- 29:16Speaker 2: to cans got very good. I've got cans and it
- 29:19Speaker 2: was great.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Look, there are things that the kids loved, mainly just
- 29:21Speaker 1: a big lagoon. Yeah, what's the deal with this big ligan?
- 29:24Speaker 1: What's the what's the deal with this big? Every time
- 29:26Speaker 1: I say what's the deal? Now, my whole brain goes,
- 29:28Speaker 1: what's the deal? Sarone felt get a good run? So, yeah,
- 29:33Speaker 1: what is the go with this?
- 29:35Speaker 2: Just a big lagoon?
- 29:36Speaker 1: Okay, okay?
- 29:37Speaker 2: Essentially man made, man mate, man mate chlorine, very chlorine
- 29:43Speaker 2: for someone.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Message was like I want s children bathing and that thing.
- 29:47Speaker 1: And I was like, fine, technically anyone that's in there
- 29:49Speaker 1: is bathing in that thing. Well, I was like with soap.
- 29:51Speaker 2: They didn't write back, but like any questions, it's you know,
- 29:55Speaker 2: it's it's it's big. It's massive, like I don't know
- 29:58Speaker 2: how many leaders, but we're talking thousands.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Talking like it's the town public pool. Is that what
- 30:03Speaker 1: that had to be? Yeah, I've been three hours on
- 30:06Speaker 1: a flight. You're missing out. Yeah. Wow. That was a
- 30:10Speaker 1: kid's favorite.
- 30:10Speaker 2: So pretty much the moment we walked past that lagoon
- 30:13Speaker 2: and the kids got to look at it, they were
- 30:15Speaker 2: just like, I don't care what we do as long
- 30:17Speaker 2: as we're in the lagoon. And they were like, we're
- 30:19Speaker 2: rather kind of late kids, like can we go on now?
- 30:22Speaker 2: It's like absolutely not, We're going to dinner. Get the
- 30:24Speaker 2: fuck lagoon, And the next day They're like, can we
- 30:27Speaker 2: go on the lagoon then? And I was like, no,
- 30:28Speaker 2: We've got the rainforest tour.
- 30:29Speaker 5: Oh god.
- 30:30Speaker 2: And then I loved it.
- 30:32Speaker 1: The rainforest.
- 30:33Speaker 2: I love a tour.
- 30:34Speaker 1: I love a guide. Really, I love it. I can't
- 30:37Speaker 1: stand it. Just put the hands behind the back and
- 30:40Speaker 1: then you would like, ah, like you're you're feeding the
- 30:44Speaker 1: ducks or something like that. Oh.
- 30:47Speaker 2: I was learning about the oldest living rainforest.
- 30:50Speaker 1: In the world. Ash, there's the raw dog there, just like.
- 30:57Speaker 2: But we had Ranger Tim and Ranged Tim was in
- 31:00Speaker 2: an indigenous man is from the area. I was learning
- 31:02Speaker 2: about his culture. It was beautiful. And Lola looks at.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Him and goes, this is boring. When are we going
- 31:10Speaker 1: into lagoon?
- 31:11Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, I am so sorry. Kids
- 31:14Speaker 2: are really I'm so sorry for Lola. Please continue about
- 31:17Speaker 2: the fern. They don't have time for nothing like two
- 31:22Speaker 2: minutes in and I was like, got another hour and
- 31:24Speaker 2: a half of this.
- 31:24Speaker 1: Oh my god. It's when I took my road to
- 31:26Speaker 1: my kids to that village in Vanuatu, and they were
- 31:30Speaker 1: like and they literally like grow and make their own food.
- 31:33Speaker 1: They've got no electricity. Incredible incredible experiences like where are
- 31:37Speaker 1: the Oreos fux sake Mac. They just don't They're just
- 31:43Speaker 1: ruthless kids. They don't know. At that age they haven't
- 31:47Speaker 1: grown that part of the brain which that has consequent No,
- 31:51Speaker 1: it's like, oh you're boring.
- 31:53Speaker 2: They're like.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Everyone's like like what, I think Tim took it?
- 31:56Speaker 2: Well, he's probably had it before, Ranger Tim, He's probably
- 31:59Speaker 2: had it, I hope.
- 32:00Speaker 1: So what were the rest of the cans? Locals like
- 32:03Speaker 1: were great? Great.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Actually, there's like heaps of Brits there because there's a
- 32:07Speaker 2: big backpack of places big on the backpackers.
- 32:10Speaker 1: And I heard the nightlife pretty.
- 32:12Speaker 2: People were really friendly. I thought I was being robbed
- 32:14Speaker 2: at one point because I was crossing the road with
- 32:17Speaker 2: the kids and you know, kids are dilly dwning and
- 32:19Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, my hand across the road. And then
- 32:22Speaker 2: this guy comes up and he's like you gotta be careful,
- 32:25Speaker 2: you got to be careful.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I was like, what accident was that?
- 32:28Speaker 2: And I was like okay, and he goes the lights
- 32:31Speaker 2: here they go from green to red really quickly.
- 32:34Speaker 1: He's like, let me help you.
- 32:35Speaker 2: And I thought I was going to get mugged, kidnapping kid, yeah,
- 32:40Speaker 2: and he was just helping the family across the road.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Where have we witnessed the last raw doggers and the
- 32:46Speaker 1: last helpful people? It's just going on. It's like the
- 32:48Speaker 1: final Frontier, guys. Very good. Speaking of trips, man, I
- 32:54Speaker 1: took a little trip an adventure if you will, with
- 32:57Speaker 1: the children solo da, What do you think? And do?
- 33:02Speaker 1: I was in the doghouse. I don't even call it
- 33:04Speaker 1: the doghouse anymore. I just called it the house. That's
- 33:06Speaker 1: where I live. What do you do? It was just
- 33:09Speaker 1: like a pleasant evening turned into a night out. You
- 33:13Speaker 1: were with what's his name back? Zach and Zach.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Zach is just a standout individual.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Oh isn't he? Just Well? I feel like if you've
- 33:22Speaker 1: got to embark on a journey like this, the fact that.
- 33:24Speaker 6: Zach is there calms my nerves absolutely. So we decided
- 33:29Speaker 6: to go to an away game for Manley. Oscar's never
- 33:31Speaker 6: been to a big stadium before. Macy wasn't gonna come,
- 33:36Speaker 6: but I was like, you know what, I'm gonna take her.
- 33:38Speaker 6: She's never been to a Manley game at all, so
- 33:41Speaker 6: she know what Manley is. Yeah, because Oscar's always harpened
- 33:43Speaker 6: on about it.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Sure he loves it. So we we took an adventure.
- 33:47Speaker 1: We went. We got on a bus, which kids love
- 33:51Speaker 1: busses love it. Yeah, for a while and they're like,
- 33:54Speaker 1: keep stopping, that's a that's a bus. I want to
- 33:56Speaker 1: swap seats, stand on the seat. Funny thing. We got
- 34:01Speaker 1: on and the bus driver took off before Mace you
- 34:03Speaker 1: could sit down, and she was in the aisle.
- 34:06Speaker 2: She was like.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Someone behind like corner. I was like, what's it, zach you?
- 34:16Speaker 1: It was a stranger. It was a stranger. But it
- 34:18Speaker 1: was funny watching her like because she'd never experienced that before.
- 34:22Speaker 1: And then we catch your daughter. I was just too
- 34:25Speaker 1: far ahead and she was gone, yeah, it's like you
- 34:28Speaker 1: chasing the say it was trying to stop it with
- 34:32Speaker 1: your trying to kick at the stop. And then we
- 34:36Speaker 1: went to uh, we got on a ferry after that,
- 34:41Speaker 1: what it gets better? Right? We then got on the
- 34:45Speaker 1: light rail. Wow, how many modes of transport do you
- 34:50Speaker 1: want to take? Three? And then we got to we've
- 34:52Speaker 1: got a Maxie uber home.
- 34:54Speaker 2: What was of the three forms of transport? The bustard,
- 34:57Speaker 2: ferry of the light rail? What's your preference?
- 34:59Speaker 1: The fairies there? Friends, Yeah, get beers on there for starters.
- 35:03Speaker 1: That's a that's a class the vast bit monotonous. What
- 35:06Speaker 1: I don't like rail? What's it like? It's so fucking slow?
- 35:11Speaker 1: You can walk faster. And Oscar was like, what are
- 35:15Speaker 1: we doing? Is this ship? And I'm like sorry, So
- 35:17Speaker 1: we were late for the game because of that. It's
- 35:20Speaker 1: so slow and I knew it was that slow. Is
- 35:23Speaker 1: there an accident? No? No, I've been on it plenty
- 35:25Speaker 1: of time and it's so slow. It's like, is this slow?
- 35:28Speaker 1: Whoever sold that to the New South Wales government is
- 35:31Speaker 1: just laughing ripped off because they're like, well, god boy,
- 35:36Speaker 1: it is so slow.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Apparently it was an Italian contractor, oh Rich was his name,
- 35:41Speaker 3: Mario Luigi.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Community sorry, we love you anyway. It was torture, so
- 35:48Speaker 1: you can imagine like we're like, hurry up, hurry up,
- 35:51Speaker 1: get off a ram week there because it was an
- 35:53Speaker 1: Alliance stadium, the road here, and then we're running and
- 35:56Speaker 1: they it's like stop, it's already started. We're like pissed,
- 36:00Speaker 1: bolting and then get to our seats. Good, great, beautiful stadium,
- 36:05Speaker 1: as you know, get to our seats. Macy's a bit
- 36:07Speaker 1: confused about what's going on because he's never been there's
- 36:09Speaker 1: people yelling and hooting and hollering and Karen on and
- 36:13Speaker 1: it was at a Bulldog's game, so you can imagine
- 36:15Speaker 1: the specimens that would have been there. No, I can't
- 36:17Speaker 1: please explain. Well, let me tell you about No, just
- 36:21Speaker 1: very passionate, so going sometimes like we were.
- 36:25Speaker 2: We went to the camera Rooster's game and the camera
- 36:28Speaker 2: fans are lovely. They were really a bit scary because
- 36:30Speaker 2: addressed as vikings. Yeah yeah, yeah, but they were really
- 36:33Speaker 2: nice people.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Were you sat with the manly fans? We I did
- 36:36Speaker 1: buy away general admission away clever, yeah, but because I
- 36:41Speaker 1: was like, oh it's fine because that sort of stadium
- 36:43Speaker 1: that it's a good view from anywhere. So I wasn't
- 36:45Speaker 1: really that way great and I wasn't too busy in
- 36:46Speaker 1: our section, but it was still like I think there
- 36:49Speaker 1: was like twenty five thousand people there, and Macy's never
- 36:51Speaker 1: been around twenty five thousand people. She spent the whole
- 36:54Speaker 1: time like covering her ears because it was so loud,
- 36:58Speaker 1: so loud, and then she kept getting the ships to
- 37:00Speaker 1: me because I'm a passionate fan literally like just carrying
- 37:08Speaker 1: on a little bit, not too much. But Macy was
- 37:10Speaker 1: like the whole time was just like covered up. She
- 37:16Speaker 1: just ate and snacked the whole time. She could have
- 37:18Speaker 1: just done that at home, but I dragged her all
- 37:21Speaker 1: the way across. And then do you know what she remember?
- 37:25Speaker 2: I remember my very first game. This is coore memory
- 37:28Speaker 2: stuff here. Yeah, I'm just saying like, I don't think
- 37:31Speaker 2: you remember well, no, probably not. It was a bit
- 37:33Speaker 2: disapointing because they got well yeah, probably remember the disappointment
- 37:36Speaker 2: of mainly slit ship.
- 37:39Speaker 1: We saw my face and how disappointed.
- 37:41Speaker 2: I saw the footage on socials of you just like
- 37:43Speaker 2: walking out of the stadium and the kids are like Daddy.
- 37:45Speaker 1: Left them, Like I'm fucking going. I was like, I
- 37:49Speaker 1: made my backpack on the back on the light rail
- 37:52Speaker 1: to crawl home. Well, this is the thing. We were like,
- 37:56Speaker 1: it's dark, it's definitely bedtime for these kids. Like get
- 37:59Speaker 1: into that stage. They're getting tired. That's big afternoon, yea,
- 38:04Speaker 1: just like the show, Big Show. And then I was
- 38:07Speaker 1: like to Zach, I was like, what we should do
- 38:08Speaker 1: is we should just because kids you can go into
- 38:10Speaker 1: an uber up to a certain age or something like that.
- 38:13Speaker 1: And so we got like a maxi uber or whatever
- 38:16Speaker 1: picked us up got in there.
- 38:17Speaker 2: We of course I don't know if you are allowed
- 38:19Speaker 2: it is there's a law, like, whoa Jesus, I.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Think it's over too. My head off. Anyway, that was safe. Anyway,
- 38:28Speaker 1: they will promise some ice cream all the way home.
- 38:30Speaker 1: So eventually I was like to the uber, I said, look,
- 38:33Speaker 1: we do need to stop for ice cream at a
- 38:35Speaker 1: service station somewhere and eat ice cream in the car.
- 38:38Speaker 1: He said, yes, okay, that's brave. Yeah. I was like whatever.
- 38:41Speaker 2: Sometimes I'm like, can I blow my nose in the uber?
- 38:44Speaker 1: And they're like no, that's illegal. But he stopped first,
- 38:47Speaker 1: which is great.
- 38:48Speaker 2: And then what did you go for?
- 38:49Speaker 1: I got the kids and paddle pops love that rainbow
- 38:51Speaker 1: paddle pop. Macy couldn't quite and I couldn't. I couldn't
- 38:56Speaker 1: really get my phone was in my bag and stuff,
- 38:58Speaker 1: and I was like trying to, like I should have
- 38:59Speaker 1: got photo of it. She'd fallen asleep with the ice cream.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Pretty much she fell asleep. I check that. Yeah, she
- 39:05Speaker 1: pretty much fell asleep on the ice cream. I remember
- 39:07Speaker 1: she fell asleep at the lunch table at Kindy. I
- 39:10Speaker 1: don't remember. They sent us a photo that Mace is
- 39:12Speaker 1: a bit tired and she was full bowl of lunch
- 39:14Speaker 1: and she's like peas And apparently it happens all the time,
- 39:17Speaker 1: like kids just fall asleep because they can't handle it.
- 39:20Speaker 1: To get that checked out anyway, Anyway, she's fallen asleep
- 39:22Speaker 1: in the ice cream. I got to eat the rest
- 39:23Speaker 1: of the ice cream and then she it was just
- 39:26Speaker 1: like she was completely naked like I have never seen.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I've never been able to transition her from the car
- 39:34Speaker 1: into bed and one swoop without them waking up. But
- 39:36Speaker 1: I literally picked her in the bed. I literally picked
- 39:40Speaker 1: her up out of the thing. She didn't she was
- 39:42Speaker 1: like she was like old mate, raw dog.
- 39:44Speaker 2: She was just n She must have woken up, been
- 39:46Speaker 2: like wherever buddy, hell am I Yeah?
- 39:48Speaker 1: I even handed her over to April. No wake up.
- 39:51Speaker 1: April took her, got to completely change and do a jarmis.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Does she still wear an happy at nighttime?
- 39:56Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, there you go the whole thing, because the
- 39:58Speaker 2: worst thing is you do that transition and they don't
- 40:02Speaker 2: wake up. Because Laula fell asleep on the walk home
- 40:05Speaker 2: from dinner one night, and then we had no We
- 40:08Speaker 2: had to then like get her chance to sit on
- 40:10Speaker 2: a toilet and be like wake up, like you're on
- 40:12Speaker 2: the toilet.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Imagine that, and you'd be like, hey, it's time for
- 40:15Speaker 1: a week. She's like all right, We're like just wait.
- 40:20Speaker 1: It's so confusing when you wake up. Imagine imagine like
- 40:24Speaker 1: just falling asleep somewhere and waking up on the toilet.
- 40:26Speaker 2: One minute she said the table eating ice cream. Next
- 40:28Speaker 2: minute she's being held out to the toilet being like
- 40:33Speaker 2: the lights.
- 40:36Speaker 1: So Mazie. She slept right through and then the next
- 40:40Speaker 1: morning she woke up and I was like, gee, she
- 40:43Speaker 1: had no idea what happened, Like, she had no idea
- 40:45Speaker 1: how she got into beded out. She literally blacked out
- 40:48Speaker 1: and like she was like, where's my ice cream? That
- 40:52Speaker 1: was like twelve hours ago. Anyway, the eventual was successful, well.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Done, well done really quickly. Before we go on to
- 40:59Speaker 2: the segment which I don't I don't know what that
- 41:01Speaker 2: will be just yet. But are you dressing up Oscar

- 43:16Speaker 1: I can find that out right now. And they say,
- 43:20Speaker 1: is it okay to dislike your friend's kids?
- 43:25Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I didn't think it was possible.
- 43:30Speaker 2: I thought I thought kids were just immune to being disliked, right.
- 43:35Speaker 1: I fucking hate him.
- 43:39Speaker 2: There's a couple of kids, and there was one that
- 43:42Speaker 2: I really liked. I was like, this kid's great, he
- 43:44Speaker 2: turned on you didn't he? I got the ick.
- 43:48Speaker 1: I got the ick for a friend's kid. Now when

- 43:55Speaker 1: They were just bragging about how good they were at sport.
- 43:58Speaker 1: I fucking hate that.
- 44:00Speaker 2: And then I was like, this kid's pretty arrogant. Yeah
- 44:03Speaker 2: he was five or six.
- 44:04Speaker 1: Oh, imagine what he's gonna grow out to be like.
- 44:06Speaker 2: And also also, do you know that's right? They walked

- 44:50Speaker 1: there there's always going to be kids. Some kids are annoying.
- 44:53Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I also think that comes down to
- 44:55Speaker 1: some of the parenting.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's like but yeah, they a product
- 45:00Speaker 2: of their environment.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Exactly right, You're only it's like a bad behaved dog.
- 45:05Speaker 1: The dog is only a well behaved as his owner.
- 45:08Speaker 1: That's not right. Yeah, that's good. That's close. Put it
- 45:10Speaker 1: on a T shirt. What's with your dog? Then? Just
- 45:13Speaker 1: yappy little ship? Yeah? Well yeah, look, Oscar could be
- 45:21Speaker 1: that kid, and they could be people out there there.
- 45:23Speaker 1: But it reminds me of like when someone tells, like
- 45:27Speaker 1: when like you say to your Mama's like, oh yeah,
- 45:29Speaker 1: he doesn't like me very much. He doesn't could like you,
- 45:32Speaker 1: you know what I mean, like that overreaction that no like,
- 45:35Speaker 1: no one could ever dislike you. And it's like kids,
- 45:39Speaker 1: some of them is just annoying.
- 45:40Speaker 2: Oh yeah. And if you're a parent who even a
- 45:43Speaker 2: non parent who dislikes other kids, that's fine, you're allowed to.
- 45:47Speaker 1: You can just don't tell the parents. Well, let's just listen.
- 45:51Speaker 2: Just's a there's a few kids as well. Sometimes when
- 45:56Speaker 2: you talk about going around on holiday and a family
- 45:59Speaker 2: will get suggested sit and you're look and think about
- 46:02Speaker 2: their kid and you're like, I don't want to spend
- 46:03Speaker 2: four days with that little ship.
- 46:05Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. For all of my friends listening,
- 46:08Speaker 1: none of you.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Know you guys, just what we've heard, we've heard as
- 46:12Speaker 2: we got one last question before we go.
- 46:15Speaker 1: This is actually what Jess, not so much a question, it's.
- 46:18Speaker 2: More of a.
- 46:21Speaker 1: Question statement. State.
- 46:24Speaker 2: Just put a question out.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Just put a question. Sorry, it's a question, it's just
- 46:29Speaker 1: a statement. It's a kind of question. You shut up. Sorry.
- 46:32Speaker 2: She asked the listeners on the Facebook group, which is
- 46:35Speaker 2: great by the way, to days on Facebook group three
- 46:37Speaker 2: one thousand followers.
- 46:38Speaker 1: What's up?
- 46:40Speaker 2: What's the most and what's the most unhinged thing that's
- 46:42Speaker 2: happened to you as a parent?
- 46:44Speaker 1: Oh me, personally, we're going to read read it, Okay,
- 46:51Speaker 1: I don't care. I didn't have anything to line up
- 46:55Speaker 1: for that. I was going to dig deep, dig deep.
- 46:59Speaker 1: So this one's from Gemma was accused of strapped the
- 47:05Speaker 1: bat was accused of abusing my children, and apparently the
- 47:08Speaker 1: cops were called. Apparently or wow, if they were it,
- 47:13Speaker 1: she doesn't give a fuck. They were screaming because the
- 47:15Speaker 1: motel pool was gulled. Oh my goodness.
- 47:22Speaker 2: It's like that trend on TikTok where it's like they
- 47:25Speaker 2: show the picture of an outside house and the audio
- 47:28Speaker 2: of a kid screaming, and people were like I wonder
- 47:29Speaker 2: what's going on in there, and it's where like you've
- 47:31Speaker 2: cut the sandwiches into squares, not triangles, and the kids
- 47:34Speaker 2: have got blood curdling screams.
- 47:36Speaker 1: I said to Macon the other day when I cut
- 47:38Speaker 1: hers accidentally into squares, she had to live a meltdown
- 47:40Speaker 1: and I just got down on her leave and I
- 47:42Speaker 1: was like, does it make it taste any different? She
- 47:46Speaker 1: was like, what, it's safe to say I cut the sandwich. However,
- 47:51Speaker 1: I like, now.
- 47:53Speaker 2: From Francesca, just to add to the unhinged, mortifying moments, thread,
- 47:58Speaker 2: please Francesca take it away. My four year old once
- 48:01Speaker 2: emerged from his grandma's bedroom, my husband's mother, not mine,
- 48:05Speaker 2: important detail, Remember that ash. I remember it absolutely beaming,
- 48:09Speaker 2: proudly holding her big old rubber message, just flip flopping it.
- 48:17Speaker 1: Around the living room like it's a toy lightsaber. My
- 48:21Speaker 1: husband was horrified and screening him to put that down.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Oh my god, squiz fire.
- 48:28Speaker 2: And to this day I gently lovingly remind my husband
- 48:32Speaker 2: of the day we met his rubber stepdad. Very good.
- 48:38Speaker 1: Oh that's, oh my goodness. That is unhinged, as was
- 48:46Speaker 1: from Laura when I was thirty nine weeks pregnant with
- 48:49Speaker 1: my second son, I got food poisoning. I was up
- 48:52Speaker 1: all night throwing up and shitting my guts out. Lovely,
- 48:56Speaker 1: lovely image I just got in my head. Then my
- 48:58Speaker 1: throwing up woke up my two year old. I stationed
- 49:01Speaker 1: myself on the couch with a bowl and turned on
- 49:04Speaker 1: the TV to distract the two year old. I started
- 49:06Speaker 1: to throw up so violently that I couldn't control my bow,
- 49:11Speaker 1: so I was pooping my pants on the couch every
