- 3:47Speaker 1: Marley and Lola gave me the exact same gift from daycare,
- 3:50Speaker 1: which was barbecue seasoning like a barbecue like a Cajun
- 3:56Speaker 1: season like. It was exact same from both and so
- 4:03Speaker 1: I opened rolls and she was like, close your eyes, daddy,

- 4:10Speaker 1: just as pumped and like, that's my turn. And then
- 4:13Speaker 1: I was like, I remember thinking.
- 4:16Speaker 3: As well I felt it.
- 4:17Speaker 1: I was like, it's just quite similar, same seasoning. Yeah,
- 4:22Speaker 1: So daycare, not to criticize, because I'm very appreciative of
- 4:26Speaker 1: what you've given the kids to give me, but mix it.

- 6:41Speaker 1: you on the podcast in front of our audience. Are
- 6:45Speaker 1: they here, they're listening on When you've talked about shitting yourself,
- 6:50Speaker 1: my approach, my reaction to that, a knee jerk reaction,
- 6:53Speaker 1: if you will, has always been like, how how does
- 6:57Speaker 1: that happen?
- 6:58Speaker 3: You've done it?
- 7:00Speaker 1: Ash? Over the weekend there was an incident, do you
- 7:04Speaker 1: know what. Weirdly, I wasn't hungover it wasn't off the
- 7:10Speaker 1: back of a really spicy meal. I was just doing
- 7:12Speaker 1: a simple WI standing obviously standing, we enjoying the Wii.
- 7:16Speaker 1: The whee was great, the we was flowing. Everyone was
- 7:19Speaker 1: having a good time except midw My body was confused
- 7:28Speaker 1: in that moment. Somehow my body thought that we were
- 7:33Speaker 1: sitting down for a week and it was time to
- 7:34Speaker 1: do a poop. And just like as I was relaxing,
- 7:38Speaker 1: mid there's a moment I think, Midwi where you find
- 7:43Speaker 1: a moment in a piece and you shiver.
- 7:45Speaker 3: You're like.
- 7:49Speaker 1: And I had to catch myself because my body was
- 7:52Speaker 1: about to do a poop. I was like, body, what
- 7:55Speaker 1: are you doing? Were standing up? Body was like, WHOA,
- 7:58Speaker 1: My bad? I read the did that scene completely wrong? Okay,
- 8:02Speaker 1: We're back to work, back to the office. My day
- 8:05Speaker 1: was was going to continue. Yeah, And then I thought
- 8:07Speaker 1: I felt something. I went went back to the bathroom.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I inspected we had a bit of leakage.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Nugget.
- 8:15Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't say nugget. I'd say a kiss.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Like a Hershey's kiss.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a Hershey's kiss, but it was it
- 8:25Speaker 1: like it was a it was a good kiss.
- 8:28Speaker 3: It was a bit of.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Tongue and my favorite undies as well. But then the
- 8:34Speaker 1: hard thing was ash. Hard thing was I was one
- 8:38Speaker 1: where I was debating. I don't know how you approach this,
- 8:41Speaker 1: like do I wash the undies or do I just
- 8:43Speaker 1: throw them out?
- 8:44Speaker 2: I got a rinse and wash like it's not it's
- 8:48Speaker 2: not like you murdered someone in them.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I thought I would get rid of them.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Okay, so gone. I thought you were white ones. You
- 9:00Speaker 3: need to rethink that part of your wards.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Now I'm at an age where white undies are no
- 9:04Speaker 1: longer an option.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I just think altogether what undies should be abolished for men?
- 9:09Speaker 3: Women increase them, men abolish them. I think it's offensive.
- 9:15Speaker 1: So I wanted to get rid of the mash. And
- 9:18Speaker 1: the problem was my mum was standing in the kitchen, yeah,
- 9:23Speaker 1: and she was standing near the sorry, she was standing
- 9:26Speaker 1: at the toilet in the kitchen. She was Mum was
- 9:28Speaker 1: standing near the kitchen near the bin. And so I
- 9:30Speaker 1: had to then like take the undies off, wrap them
- 9:33Speaker 1: up nice and tight so they would fit in my hand.
- 9:36Speaker 1: And I had to then like walk over to the
- 9:37Speaker 1: bin and like in an unsuspicious manner, put the onundies
- 9:42Speaker 1: in the bin. But there you did well. I also,
- 9:47Speaker 1: mum's seventy two, so she's easy to fall. Yeah. I
- 9:51Speaker 1: feel like I could come in with a unicorn.
- 9:53Speaker 2: A mom would just be like, it would have been
- 9:55Speaker 2: really really funny if you're like, Mum, hold this for
- 9:57Speaker 2: a seconds.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Popped me in the hand and walked away, and.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Then I looked in the mirror afterwards, I was just like,
- 10:04Speaker 1: who am I?
- 10:05Speaker 3: Welcome to the club? My friend.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Once every few months I poot myself and it's it's
- 10:12Speaker 2: a good wake up call to remind you. It's like
- 10:15Speaker 2: a reset that you're alive and you're here. I, for one,
- 10:18Speaker 2: at the moment, would love to ship myself. I'm extremely constipated,
- 10:22Speaker 2: and that's because of all of the codin I have
- 10:25Speaker 2: been taking from a sore tooth.
- 10:28Speaker 1: What is the limit? What is the maximum length of
- 10:32Speaker 1: time one person can continuously take coding?
- 10:35Speaker 3: Well?
- 10:37Speaker 2: Forever, I guess I don't know.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Here's the the thing I went.
- 10:43Speaker 2: I went to the dentist, as we know, last week,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and he gave me some codeine to band aid the paint.
- 10:48Speaker 3: The dentist gave you coding, He gave me a script.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Did they do that?
- 10:52Speaker 3: Obviously they are again?
- 10:55Speaker 2: I went to well, the chemist willingly gave me the
- 10:58Speaker 2: from the doctor scripts.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Hang on a second, this is from a duentess, and it.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Said one at a time, and then the cameras said
- 11:05Speaker 2: to me, you can take two at the time. It's fine,
- 11:08Speaker 2: And I was like, can I The amount of coding
- 11:10Speaker 2: they gave me was for to band aid up until
- 11:13Speaker 2: the extraction.
- 11:15Speaker 3: I went through it in about three days because I
- 11:17Speaker 3: was in that much pain.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yeah, you were, you called me wailing on the phone.
- 11:21Speaker 2: And now I have an addiction to prescription painkillers. No,

- 12:18Speaker 2: so I heard a lot. It was dead dying. No,
- 12:21Speaker 2: it was it was irritating the nerves underneath it.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Right, So the options are roots, options were root canal
- 12:28Speaker 1: too expensive.
- 12:29Speaker 2: He sat me down, he turned the lights off, he
- 12:31Speaker 2: turned the lamp on my face.
- 12:32Speaker 3: He said, how badly do you want to keep this tooth?
- 12:34Speaker 2: I said, I'm not that attached to it, to be
- 12:36Speaker 2: completely honest. It's attached to my head, but I'm not
- 12:39Speaker 2: that attached to it emotionally.
- 12:41Speaker 3: So let's remove it.
- 12:42Speaker 2: But because I'm such a scady cat, I was like,
- 12:44Speaker 2: can we somehow knock me out? He's like, no, may,
- 12:47Speaker 2: It's going to cost you like three or four times, way.
- 12:50Speaker 3: More than it'd be such a scady cat, let's just.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Rip it out of your head. So you go in
- 12:54Speaker 2: and take these three sleeping tablets. I don't know if

- 13:14Speaker 3: git out of it. I was pretty out of it.
- 13:15Speaker 3: I'm honest.
- 13:16Speaker 2: I was really enjoying it. And I actually fell asleep
- 13:21Speaker 2: at the lead up and then they woke me up.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I was like, anyway, so they had to take the
- 13:27Speaker 2: tooth out because it was like unless they were to
- 13:30Speaker 2: do the root, ca now I'll try and save the tooth.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Its best to rip it out. Now I'm going to
- 13:34Speaker 2: be holding my head.
- 13:36Speaker 1: May I ask you just really quickly, did you get

- 13:45Speaker 2: me complaining. She's honestly so over it. She was at
- 13:48Speaker 2: the point where I was like, my tooth's like oh,
- 13:52Speaker 2: She's like no, actually, that's right. I was in bed
- 13:54Speaker 2: and I was like, oh god, I can't get up
- 13:56Speaker 2: my mouth. She's just like, you can't decide when it's
- 13:58Speaker 2: too sore to get out of bed, when it's too
- 14:00Speaker 2: so not to get out of it, so get out
- 14:01Speaker 2: of it.

- 16:40Speaker 3: You haven't been listening for the last fifteen minutes. A
- 16:41Speaker 3: man hasn't told you lived in London for a four
- 16:43Speaker 3: months lived.
- 16:44Speaker 1: It's a great city. I recommend it. If you couldn't
- 16:46Speaker 1: call it living for four years, sure, that's that's living.
- 16:49Speaker 1: I had a passport, that's living.
- 16:51Speaker 3: I had a passport. Yeah, an accent.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I fucking I was in London. Yeah, and my fucking
- 16:59Speaker 1: mate was.
- 17:03Speaker 3: There.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Was a friend of ours was a dentist, and you know,
- 17:06Speaker 1: as I was still as a dentist, I think I
- 17:08Speaker 1: won't say your name Charlotte, it's not Charlotte. And you know,
- 17:14Speaker 1: we're talking about what life is like as a dentist.
- 17:17Speaker 1: And I said, you know, have you ever made a mistake?
- 17:19Speaker 1: And she goes, oh, yeah, absolutely. One time she was
- 17:24Speaker 1: extracting a tooth and then she extracted the tooth, looked
- 17:28Speaker 1: at the X ray and went, oh shit, took the
- 17:32Speaker 1: wrong tooth out, wrong side. I was like, I got
- 17:36Speaker 1: to take the right tooth out. That person woke up
- 17:39Speaker 1: and they said, look, good news, bad news, bad news.
- 17:43Speaker 1: We found another tooth that also needed to come out.
- 17:47Speaker 1: The good news is that we took it out. Didn't
- 17:49Speaker 1: charge you anything extra because you were under You're welcome
- 17:54Speaker 1: and that patient was like, thank you so much. That's
- 17:56Speaker 1: so kind of you.
- 17:57Speaker 2: That's why they marked the leg in surgeries, like we've
- 17:59Speaker 2: got to remove a leg. There's one with gangreing, one
- 18:02Speaker 2: without gangering. I think the one with gangering, just in case.
- 18:07Speaker 3: They've put a cross on this one, so not this one.
- 18:10Speaker 1: It's lucky that you got the right tooth out. Yeah,
- 18:12Speaker 1: he didn't wake up when you also ash.
- 18:15Speaker 2: The good news is we've got no but I can
- 18:19Speaker 2: see the mistake there because the sea through and I
- 18:22Speaker 2: mean all those years of training.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I love how all of a sudden you're the dentist sympathizer.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Who would have thought we'd be here?
- 18:29Speaker 3: I got a clean while I was there. They outsold me.
- 18:36Speaker 1: What do you think you're doing? WHOA? Hang on, buddy,
- 18:39Speaker 1: we're good friends. Remember it's nerf for nothing. I don't
- 18:42Speaker 1: know what you mean. You have an interesting look in
- 18:44Speaker 1: your eye.
- 18:44Speaker 3: Do you know what this is?
- 18:45Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I know what that is. It's it's nerve.
- 18:47Speaker 3: It's not any old nerve, Matthew. It's the end series.
- 18:51Speaker 1: What's the end series?
- 18:52Speaker 3: It's extreme.
- 18:54Speaker 2: It's got extreme accuracy, speed and distance. This one in
- 18:58Speaker 2: particular is actually called a pinpoint large scope. It's the
- 19:01Speaker 2: word like it and it's got a ten dark cartridge.
- 19:05Speaker 3: See that.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Can you just relax please when we're doing a podcast,
- 19:08Speaker 1: you can relax when you sleep. Speaking of NERF, actually,
- 19:11Speaker 1: who do you think would win a battle between the
- 19:13Speaker 1: Johnson's or the Wicks?
- 19:15Speaker 2: Look, any team that Lowell is in. I'm worried. I'm scared.
- 19:19Speaker 2: She's a relegade, she's an animal, she's untrustworthy, and she's
- 19:22Speaker 2: so good at gas lighting Pip. She would drag you
- 19:25Speaker 2: in with a false sense of security and then bang.
- 19:28Speaker 1: She's actually got a very good aim on her as well.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Her hand eye coordination is impeccable.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Mike is not so much. Oscar Yes, I reckon he
- 19:36Speaker 3: would do all right.
- 19:37Speaker 2: He's small, slender, so he'd be able to hide Macy clumsy.
- 19:42Speaker 1: No, it's not Macy. I'm worried about.
- 19:43Speaker 2: It's April April with an end series lethless parenting hack.
- 19:49Speaker 2: I also find the Nerve end series very helpful around
- 19:51Speaker 2: the house.
- 19:52Speaker 3: What do you mean?
- 19:53Speaker 2: Well, when I run a bath and the kids don't
- 19:55Speaker 2: get in it, I come after him with a NERF.
- 19:58Speaker 3: They get in pretty quick.
- 20:00Speaker 1: That is very clever.
- 20:01Speaker 3: It's really sad to watch Mazie run from me.
- 20:04Speaker 1: She waddles, enjoying next level play with the all new
- 20:09Speaker 1: Nerve End series, perfect for active fun. So grab your
- 20:12Speaker 1: kids and get out doors for action packed excitement with

- 20:18Speaker 3: And matt Before we get back to the show, well.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I think we should probably ash if you ash hush
- 20:27Speaker 1: as men. As dads, we're very lucky, Ash. We're very
- 20:31Speaker 1: lucky in that we're the first generation of dads. Actually,
- 20:35Speaker 1: people got very angry when I was like, we're the
- 20:36Speaker 1: first generation of hands on parents on mass Do.
- 20:40Speaker 3: You know who got angry without the people that weren't
- 20:41Speaker 3: hands on.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Well, there was one dad who was like, oh, it
- 20:44Speaker 1: was hands on with my kids. I was like, I
- 20:45Speaker 1: don't want to know about Like.
- 20:47Speaker 3: My dad was hands on?
- 20:48Speaker 1: I sweats like, no, he wasn't. So we can go
- 20:52Speaker 1: to any kind of environment out of the house, like
- 20:55Speaker 1: going grocery shopping with the kids. Other parents look at
- 20:59Speaker 1: us emails and they're like, wow, I know the bar's
- 21:02Speaker 1: really like boomer mums for example, Like boom mums look
- 21:05Speaker 1: at us and like we don't deserve it, But they
- 21:07Speaker 1: look at us and they think, gosh, like, what an
- 21:09Speaker 1: amazing dad.
- 21:10Speaker 3: When we're doing the bare minimum. I take it. Well,
- 21:12Speaker 3: I'll take it any day of the week. Little they know,
- 21:15Speaker 3: I'm shotting for a boys trip.
- 21:19Speaker 1: I have found a location where the praise is almost
- 21:24Speaker 1: too much.
- 21:24Speaker 3: I'm listening.
- 21:26Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've ever taken Macy to
- 21:29Speaker 1: get her nails done.
- 21:31Speaker 3: No, not yet, dude. I think she's young.
- 21:35Speaker 1: She's too young.
- 21:35Speaker 3: I've seen you do. I've thought about it.
- 21:37Speaker 1: So I do it to the girls. It's like seven bucks,
- 21:40Speaker 1: her kid get nails done and shits still. Now they
- 21:43Speaker 1: do the first few. The poor poor guy was like,
- 21:46Speaker 1: all right, here we go, last nail, and then Lola
- 21:48Speaker 1: would go yeah, move her hands and go fuck startle
- 21:52Speaker 1: everygain well there for hours. But I'm telling you, if
- 21:56Speaker 1: you feel like maybe there's a day that you're struggling
- 21:58Speaker 1: as a parent, you're not doing enough, just take your child,
- 22:02Speaker 1: go to the nail salon and just the looks of
- 22:06Speaker 1: the other women in that nail salon as you're there
- 22:09Speaker 1: with your child picking out colors.
- 22:11Speaker 3: It's reuseless. It is unfucking believable.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm going.
- 22:18Speaker 2: To I'm going to go into bat for you here
- 22:20Speaker 2: say that that's a very modern man thing for you
- 22:23Speaker 2: to do.
- 22:24Speaker 3: Like, that's I don't I've never like I always did.
- 22:27Speaker 1: I sit there. I sit there and I get ten
- 22:29Speaker 1: minutes a piece and quiet whilst my girls get their
- 22:32Speaker 1: nails done.
- 22:32Speaker 3: It's great. So it's like that's top tier dadding, I think.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Because I've it's you think how you're going to an
- 22:38Speaker 1: ail salon, Like what a good dad, what a great
- 22:41Speaker 1: guy's standing? Ye're not afraid to do anything that's like
- 22:44Speaker 1: you know not you.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Know, because you get yours done every now and then,
- 22:46Speaker 3: don't you. Yeah, I didn't get it done.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Should we take all four kids because oscarold be super keen.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you love it? All four kids, two dads. If
- 22:57Speaker 3: there's a nail salon out there that would love us
- 22:58Speaker 3: to come and do it, I key for that. Bring
- 23:02Speaker 3: bring the family our feet done.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I love that.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:06Speaker 2: What about those little fish that eat your feet?
- 23:08Speaker 1: That's scamping scam.
- 23:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 23:10Speaker 1: So just any any dads out there who are listening
- 23:12Speaker 1: and just prepare yourself the absolute onslaught of praise. Like mum,
- 23:17Speaker 1: another mom was getting a nails done and she's like,
- 23:19Speaker 1: I just think that's so lovely that you're taking your
- 23:22Speaker 1: girls here, and I was like, it's no big deal. No,
- 23:25Speaker 1: I'm just doing what I can. My my wife's inter
- 23:27Speaker 1: state at the moment, so she but that's fine, she's.
- 23:33Speaker 3: Just trying to put food on the table. But she's
- 23:35Speaker 3: also absent.
- 23:36Speaker 1: Yeah, someone's going to take them out out right, you know.
- 23:38Speaker 1: It's like, it's got me then, who.
- 23:40Speaker 3: I'm going to try it. I think we should try it,
- 23:42Speaker 3: and we should all do it together.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Two gay dads, we're not doing Those ladies from the
- 23:47Speaker 1: bookstore are like they walk past and they are again,
- 23:51Speaker 1: they're lovely. There's two gay dads.
- 23:53Speaker 3: They've got four kids between the Oh my goodness, yeah,
- 23:56Speaker 3: it's two broken marriages. Mums were absent.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Ash. We spoke last week about the new kind of
- 24:06Speaker 1: kind of calling in a segment it's called parenting hack
- 24:09Speaker 1: of fuck that. It's where we look at a video
- 24:13Speaker 1: that's been posted on social media. They're a parent who
- 24:15Speaker 1: are suggesting they have an idea, a concept, a way
- 24:20Speaker 1: of making parenting groundbreaking, making parenting better or easier.
- 24:25Speaker 2: And look, honestly, we do come across videos out there
- 24:28Speaker 2: that the hack is groundbreaking.
- 24:31Speaker 1: I had one where I don't know if your kids
- 24:33Speaker 1: use it. The little beads that they put on, they
- 24:35Speaker 1: place the bead on your shape and your iron the
- 24:38Speaker 1: beads and they then make a shape. But they fucking
- 24:41Speaker 1: go on the floor all the time. But if you
- 24:43Speaker 1: put a sock in the that was good, and then
- 24:47Speaker 1: you can you can suck up all the beads and
- 24:49Speaker 1: they get stuck in the sock. Job done. Parenting hack absolutely.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Last week's fuck that was apparently suggested that you wake
- 24:56Speaker 1: up your kids after they've gone to bed to get
- 24:58Speaker 1: them a surprise.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Moving anyway, they're already awake for majority of the day,
- 25:03Speaker 2: have a movie date.
- 25:04Speaker 1: So this week sounds great? This week, Ash, I've got
- 25:06Speaker 1: a new video.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Okay, cool, we'll show me.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I feel like I've bring nothing to the table. You're
- 25:10Speaker 2: the one who's always got there. I promise next week.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Now, your rage last week was more than a night.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Rage because I just think it's not fair on the child.
- 25:19Speaker 2: I think that's selfish for your own gratitude. But then
- 25:22Speaker 2: to be able to post a video about it, like
- 25:24Speaker 2: I'm such a great parent, You're a ship parent.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Well sorry, well said, that's that's you're filling my cup.
- 25:30Speaker 3: That's what I wanted, I'm filling your cup with what?
- 25:35Speaker 1: Okay, Ash, do you think this is a parenting hack
- 25:38Speaker 1: or fuck that?
- 25:38Speaker 2: Yes, I'm loving this road trips. Am I going in
- 25:41Speaker 2: the mindset of road trip?
- 25:42Speaker 1: Road trips? Got a big drive ahead of you, asking
- 25:46Speaker 1: your kids? Do you need to go the toilet? You don't. Okay,
- 25:49Speaker 1: let's get in the car. Let's set off.
- 25:51Speaker 3: Okay, we're off, we're driving. I'm watching No. Nope, no no, no, nope,
- 25:55Speaker 3: no no, no, no, no, no.
- 25:56Speaker 1: This is a product you can purchase online, right, So
- 26:00Speaker 1: let me just explain what I'm looking at here.
- 26:02Speaker 2: It's a product that someone's purchased that unfolds, goes onto
- 26:06Speaker 2: the four of the car.
- 26:09Speaker 1: It's like a flat pack. Comes as a flat packed
- 26:11Speaker 1: cardboard box. Yeah, it looks like there's a plastic liner.
- 26:14Speaker 1: It opens up to a potty.
- 26:15Speaker 3: So the kid sits on it.
- 26:16Speaker 2: That kid's way too big for that partty first of all,
- 26:19Speaker 2: and then they shit in it. You wrap it back
- 26:21Speaker 2: up and then go on your day. And then what
- 26:23Speaker 2: do you do?
- 26:24Speaker 1: Dump it in and be okay, what about Ash? Hear
- 26:26Speaker 1: me out? Nighttime? Nighttime road trip. You're on the side
- 26:32Speaker 1: of a cliff.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Why would I be on the side of a cliff.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I don't know what you're driving, bro maybe up in
- 26:37Speaker 1: the mountains. Maybe it's snowing right, so it's it's hard
- 26:41Speaker 1: to then do a bush wheel bush poo. So you
- 26:44Speaker 1: need to do that business in a place that's quite
- 26:47Speaker 1: close to the car. You don't want to sit next
- 26:49Speaker 1: to the car.
- 26:50Speaker 3: I think it's demeaning.
- 26:52Speaker 1: What shitting next to the trees?
- 26:55Speaker 2: Not?
- 26:55Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's you're in nature.
- 26:58Speaker 2: You're in nature, you go care, you go am being
- 27:00Speaker 2: really out in the sticks, and that you dig a
- 27:01Speaker 2: hole down river.
- 27:03Speaker 1: But maybe not upriver? Hey, what about I don't know
- 27:05Speaker 1: how long your children take to poo? Mine take a
- 27:07Speaker 1: little while? Do they a little while?
- 27:09Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 27:10Speaker 2: Oscaus PSI is unbelievable. Maybe he still shits in nappies.
- 27:14Speaker 2: But look, I would highly doubt you know how strange
- 27:20Speaker 2: kids are. There's a bigger chance of my kids shit
- 27:23Speaker 2: doing a bush poo then sitting on what looks to
- 27:26Speaker 2: be a magician's.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Hat to take a shit.
- 27:31Speaker 2: He'd be like, what is as if it's going to
- 27:33Speaker 2: support his weight. He'd end up shitting and falling back
- 27:35Speaker 2: into it. I think I think someone's tried to cash
- 27:40Speaker 2: in to make some money on idiots. That's what I
- 27:42Speaker 2: think about that. So it's not a hack. I think
- 27:45Speaker 2: the hack is if your kid needs to shit, you pull.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Over, find a bush the old fashioned way and go here.
- 27:51Speaker 3: I'm watching.
- 27:52Speaker 2: I'm here to protect you while she poo out here,
- 27:55Speaker 2: and then I'll get the wipes, wipe it up. The
- 27:57Speaker 2: shit's gone into the soil, perhaps a tree grow. That's
- 28:01Speaker 2: a hack. This is not a hack.
- 28:03Speaker 3: This is I'm scared that, Mike. I'm trying to protect
- 28:06Speaker 3: my kids.
- 28:07Speaker 1: It's over complicating a situation.
- 28:10Speaker 3: I think.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Also, it's way too pretty colored. It could be mistaken
- 28:14Speaker 2: for one of those gifts bags. Next minute you're given
- 28:16Speaker 2: a friend a bag of shit.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Yeah you need to You need to have the shape
- 28:20Speaker 1: and color like shit.
- 28:22Speaker 2: It needs to be off putting. I think they're trying
- 28:25Speaker 2: to cash in on something that's okay, well said, Well,
- 28:27Speaker 2: so it's not a hack. It's a fuck that ye first,
- 28:30Speaker 2: should we do no before we move on, I've got
- 28:33Speaker 2: something really quick for you, please, But I've got something
- 28:35Speaker 2: i just want to bring up that I've just stumbled
- 28:36Speaker 2: across Matthew Johnson, and I didn't know this you're very

- 30:11Speaker 3: So let's go to We're going to do lies. We've
- 30:14Speaker 3: got some cracking lies today, so let's get into it.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Tell me loude.
- 30:25Speaker 3: This one's from Tilly.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Hey Tilly, it's going to get dark real quick, so
- 30:29Speaker 2: I would just maybe remove the enthusiasm out of your voice.
- 30:33Speaker 2: We can get it back afterwards once we've recovered. My
- 30:35Speaker 2: older sister told me my mother was on a business trip.
- 30:38Speaker 2: When I was old enough to notice other kids had
- 30:41Speaker 2: mum and a dad.
- 30:42Speaker 3: I think I was four or five. Bear with me.
- 30:46Speaker 2: My dad allowed me to believe this rather than explain
- 30:48Speaker 2: the concept of death.
- 30:52Speaker 3: The mum was dead. I know.
- 30:57Speaker 1: That is bad parenting. Oh my god, it is like proper.
- 31:02Speaker 1: That's a lot dard yea that is. That is one
- 31:06Speaker 1: hell of a life. Also just the best case example
- 31:09Speaker 1: of boomer parenting.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just run with it.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Yeah, she said, I'm not mad about it.
- 31:15Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't have understood the truth anyway. So like
- 31:17Speaker 3: she's obviously still very close with her dad.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Taking that very well.
- 31:20Speaker 3: First of all, sorry about your mum, very sorry. Second
- 31:24Speaker 3: of all, it's kind of sad.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. At what point do you then do you
- 31:31Speaker 1: then say sorry, she's not on that sales conference, she's dead.
- 31:37Speaker 3: It's kidding, Like, how do you How long was the
- 31:40Speaker 3: sales conference? She's been on that conference for years? Yeah?
- 31:45Speaker 3: I know? When do you? I suppose like when you're
- 31:48Speaker 3: in an age to understand you would just but.
- 31:52Speaker 1: There's always going to be that period where you're like
- 31:54Speaker 1: six or seven and you're still running with the conference
- 31:58Speaker 1: business trip line.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Yeah, oh god, just beyond mine.
- 32:02Speaker 1: God's say. This one is from Courtney.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Hello Courtney, Hello Courtney, Please don't be as morbid.
- 32:11Speaker 1: I lived in London.
- 32:12Speaker 3: For four years.
- 32:14Speaker 1: That's very good. Close my eyes, it felt like I
- 32:17Speaker 1: was right back on Oxford Street.
- 32:19Speaker 3: I tell you live in London, Courtney.
- 32:22Speaker 1: The lie I told my four year old last week
- 32:25Speaker 1: we were at Costco having pizza in the food court
- 32:28Speaker 1: delicious and ash and alarm went off in the store.
- 32:32Speaker 1: My son then asked why it was going off. I
- 32:36Speaker 1: told him it goes off when kids are being naughty
- 32:38Speaker 1: and don't listen or eat their food. I then watched
- 32:41Speaker 1: a parent leaving the store with their child and pointed
- 32:44Speaker 1: to them and said to my son, see that kid
- 32:48Speaker 1: must have been naughty. They're been taken out of the shop.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Let's say it worked. He ate his dinner a bit
- 32:54Speaker 1: quieter than usual.
- 32:55Speaker 2: I love a perfectly timed especially when there's someone and
- 33:00Speaker 2: you're like, see.
- 33:02Speaker 1: That's him and he's crying. You're like, perfect.
- 33:05Speaker 2: Relie that it's I could easily be the truth because
- 33:08Speaker 2: it was in this instance. Before we move on, I've
- 33:12Speaker 2: got one that I've been using as I've had my
- 33:14Speaker 2: tooth out. Now, I've been using my tooth with Oscar.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Forget him to brush his teeth properly, because he's not.
- 33:19Speaker 2: It's not the act of him put getting the toothbrush
- 33:22Speaker 2: to his mouth.
- 33:23Speaker 3: He just sucks on it. Oh, it's so annoyed.
- 33:26Speaker 1: They go finished and you go you can't just eat.
- 33:28Speaker 3: The tooth properly, do it? Properly.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's on adult toothpaste now because this happened
- 33:35Speaker 2: when he got the crown.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Yeah, the kids stuff wasn't strong enough.
- 33:40Speaker 3: No, it's too tasty.
- 33:44Speaker 1: What was the first few times of him having like
- 33:46Speaker 1: a full strength minto clips.
- 33:49Speaker 2: There was one stage where he had the toothbrush up
- 33:51Speaker 2: to his mouth.
- 33:55Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. It's not that bad. So I've
- 34:01Speaker 3: been like, I've had a two thousand. So every time
- 34:03Speaker 3: now I'm like, do you want to look like this?
- 34:05Speaker 2: And this follows with him, It's not this is what
- 34:10Speaker 2: you want hold up, grabbing him by the collar, and
- 34:13Speaker 2: this could be you get him out of my size.
- 34:19Speaker 3: It's not really a lie. It's kind of the truth.
- 34:21Speaker 3: That's how it happened to me.
- 34:22Speaker 2: But it's it's working, and Macy's just equally as terrified.
- 34:28Speaker 3: So that's my lie for the week.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Perfectly time lies.
- 34:31Speaker 3: Perfectly time lies.
- 34:33Speaker 1: Yeah, and we have some questions.
- 34:36Speaker 3: We do.
- 34:37Speaker 1: We have a couple of quick questions.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Do you have some questions?
- 34:39Speaker 1: This one is from me and she says, I'm returning
- 34:41Speaker 1: to work after having my first child and he will
- 34:44Speaker 1: soon attend daycare. I feel like I know exactly what
- 34:47Speaker 1: your answer will be ash. But she wants to know
- 34:50Speaker 1: if it's okay to dress her child in daycare clothes
- 34:54Speaker 1: the night before to save morning time the following day.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Like you kind of want to what was that noise?
- 35:05Speaker 2: You kind of want to give them, like you kind
- 35:07Speaker 2: of want to give parents like that as a like
- 35:09Speaker 2: you just I'm always like just doing your best. I
- 35:12Speaker 2: think it's okay if it's pajama week, pajama day, whatever,
- 35:16Speaker 2: because that's just like the best.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Week of the year, because it's like after school.
- 35:20Speaker 1: The rule books out the window.
- 35:21Speaker 2: But I get Look, I get it. If you every
- 35:24Speaker 2: kid's different. If it's like I always argue with Oskrea
- 35:27Speaker 2: in the morning's like get dress and he's too busy
- 35:28Speaker 2: doing something else.
- 35:29Speaker 3: But if they're dressed before. But also they could smell
- 35:32Speaker 3: like sleep, you know what, their kids develop a complex?
- 35:35Speaker 3: How old?
- 35:36Speaker 1: Well what does sleep smell?
- 35:39Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm talking about? Sleep stinks?
- 35:42Speaker 2: It's just like this artistic am I.
- 35:48Speaker 3: When are you smelling? Sleep? Smells?
- 35:50Speaker 2: Like?
- 35:50Speaker 3: What this smells like sleep? I don't know. I can't.
- 35:55Speaker 3: That's that's the only description I could give you. People
- 35:58Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about?
- 35:59Speaker 4: Do they?
- 36:00Speaker 1: Let's find out if you know what sleep smells like.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Let us know. I've never smelled sleep.
- 36:07Speaker 2: I'll smell yourself, my friend, because you stink. It also
- 36:11Speaker 2: depends how old the kid is.
- 36:12Speaker 4: I must be a year old. This kid still a
- 36:15Speaker 4: baby's still be so okay, there is. It goes against
- 36:20Speaker 4: the grain. It goes against what we've been taught. Okay,
- 36:23Speaker 4: you go to bed, you wear pajamas. You wake up,
- 36:25Speaker 4: you wear your daytime clothes. I do have a friend
- 36:28Speaker 4: dead child used to be really tricky in the morning
- 36:31Speaker 4: to get dressed. They then used to pick out the
- 36:33Speaker 4: clothes the night before and put them to the side,
- 36:36Speaker 4: so in the morning, they're like, the clothes are right there,
- 36:38Speaker 4: we'll get dressed over time. He would then get so
- 36:41Speaker 4: excited because he picked out his clothes at nighttime, he'd
- 36:44Speaker 4: want to start wearing them right he Now he goes
- 36:47Speaker 4: to bed wearing the clothes for the following day.
- 36:50Speaker 1: He also wears socks and shoes to bed, and she
- 36:57Speaker 1: tries to when he's asleep. She tries to take the
- 36:59Speaker 1: shoes off him, and he's like, I.
- 37:02Speaker 3: Got ja, what do you think you do? I got
- 37:05Speaker 3: a backflip play on.
- 37:06Speaker 2: I think like I was being a bit harsh. I
- 37:09Speaker 2: think do your best, that's it. I don't want parents
- 37:13Speaker 2: to feel like I'm judging them on that or making
- 37:15Speaker 2: them feel bad. So I would say, if it helps
- 37:19Speaker 2: you play on, do it, do it. Do it feels natural?
- 37:24Speaker 1: What's your question?
- 37:25Speaker 2: My question comes off the back of something I heard.
- 37:28Speaker 2: It was a question that we did get asked by
- 37:30Speaker 2: an anonymous There's a particular radio station in the mornings
- 37:34Speaker 2: here sometimes they do afternoon shifts.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Fitting Whipper and Kate.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Richie Wople were talking about people.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Was talking about the city of the Surf which we did,
- 37:43Speaker 2: which we did, and he was talking about his kids
- 37:47Speaker 2: were saying, hey, can we run on ahead? And he
- 37:50Speaker 2: was like, yeah, fine, go ahead, And his wife said,
- 37:53Speaker 2: are you an idiots? And there's this ninety thousand people
- 37:57Speaker 2: here and he's like, the joke's on you.
- 37:59Speaker 3: I've air tagged kids.
- 38:01Speaker 2: So then we also had a question to come is
- 38:02Speaker 2: it okay to track your kids?
- 38:07Speaker 1: I'm really torn by this one. I'm really torn ash.
- 38:11Speaker 3: Whether it's against their will or their knowledge or not.
- 38:18Speaker 1: I think I think there's no harm. There's no harm
- 38:22Speaker 1: in letting the kids know that they've got a track
- 38:26Speaker 1: to say, track track track sounds very hunting. Is it
- 38:30Speaker 1: okay to track and hunt your children?
- 38:32Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 38:32Speaker 1: On a deserted island, I think. Imagine this. Imagine at
- 38:37Speaker 1: the shopping center you lose oscar, right you cannot find him.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Imagine if you thought to yourself, like, if only I
- 38:48Speaker 1: had put a little tracker in his shoe, you know,
- 38:52Speaker 1: if someone has taken him, we could find him right now.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Very true.
- 38:56Speaker 1: And you know, for the sake of like wanting to
- 38:59Speaker 1: have consent from your five year old kid, because I
- 39:02Speaker 1: think morally there's that question of like do I need
- 39:05Speaker 1: them to consent to being tracked or not? I think
- 39:08Speaker 1: when they're four or five, you don't need that level
- 39:11Speaker 1: of consent because they don't know any guess.
- 39:13Speaker 3: They're old enough to consent. That was like, yeah, okay,
- 39:15Speaker 3: because it's just going to think it's cool they have
- 39:16Speaker 3: magic shoes.
- 39:17Speaker 1: You're like, have magic shoes that allow mom and dad
- 39:19Speaker 1: to find out where you are?
- 39:20Speaker 2: Will that make them wander off more? Though they know
- 39:23Speaker 2: they'd be like, well, mum can track me. I don't
- 39:26Speaker 2: think we are equipped to give the correct answer.
- 39:28Speaker 3: First of all, I.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Think you can track them up to twelve, Okay, up
- 39:34Speaker 1: until twelve they're trackable without consent.
- 39:38Speaker 3: I know it's a scary one to think.
- 39:40Speaker 2: I think, if I'm going to track my kids, I'm
- 39:42Speaker 2: going to have the conversation with mum as well, right.
- 39:46Speaker 1: I think. But there's no there's no malice intent with
- 39:49Speaker 1: one of to track your kids. And that's why I
- 39:51Speaker 1: think it's okay if your kid is like fourteen or
- 39:54Speaker 1: fifteen and you're like, I don't know, they're trying to
- 39:57Speaker 1: let them live.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Let them live their lives. They're going to make the mistakes.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, but obviously you cannot track other adults.
- 40:06Speaker 3: I know you are. It's all a bit ecky for me.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I'm just going to say it.
- 40:11Speaker 2: I think for the safety wise, like you said, Okay,
- 40:14Speaker 2: I see that, But at the same time, it's just
- 40:17Speaker 2: something about it gives me the yick.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Yes, I can appreciate that, man, but I'm going to
- 40:23Speaker 1: get some apple tagic.
- 40:23Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and say what we
- 40:25Speaker 3: did was wrong.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Okay, I think micro chipping, we're not there yet.
- 40:29Speaker 2: What he did wasn't wrong. I think what was wrong
- 40:34Speaker 2: about what he did is that his wife didn't know.
- 40:37Speaker 1: She may have loved that he was being proactive.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know what their relationships like, but I
- 40:42Speaker 2: just think that if you're going to be if we
- 40:45Speaker 2: talk about parenting, trying to be a united front. If
- 40:49Speaker 2: I'm turning around, if my wife's turned around to me saying,
- 40:51Speaker 2: are you a freaking idiot?
- 40:52Speaker 3: You're going to lose the kids you like? Jokes on you?
- 40:55Speaker 3: They're air tagged perfect, that's my answer.
- 40:58Speaker 1: I want to brand my children.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Back in the old days. You'd be like, please return to.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I don't hate the idea, but I do agree. I'd
- 41:06Speaker 1: probably have to flag.
- 41:07Speaker 3: It with Laura, who knows as well. Who can tap
- 41:09Speaker 3: into that tracking device? That's another thing.
- 41:12Speaker 2: If you can with with payWave now you can walk
- 41:14Speaker 2: past someone and they can take your card. Maybe if
- 41:17Speaker 2: they can pick up an air tag, that that kid's
- 41:20Speaker 2: air tag, let's fucking follow him home.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Cas, you're another question? Is the world flat or round?
- 41:28Speaker 3: Are you? I'm not a conspiracist, are you? No?
- 41:31Speaker 1: I'm just saying people are tracking. Did man land on
- 41:35Speaker 1: the moon? That's the next question.
- 41:40Speaker 3: Please don't belittle my opinions. I think it'd be sad.
- 41:44Speaker 3: I appreciated this.
- 41:45Speaker 2: I'm going to any serious, any serious answers to anything
- 41:49Speaker 2: moving forward.
- 41:49Speaker 3: Is that what you wanted from this?
- 41:50Speaker 1: I appreciate it and if you have appreciated this episode,

- 41:59Speaker 1: I need to get out of this house. Ash is
- 42:01Speaker 1: wearing an Alfoyle hat right now because because they're all listening,
- 42:06Speaker 1: and send it to anyone else who think we'll enjoy
- 42:09Speaker 1: listening to us talking about tagging kids and also any questions,
- 42:13Speaker 1: any lies.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Play tag wild for research.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just saying, maybe you shouldn't tag your kids,
- 42:20Speaker 1: but what you should do is buy them what people
- 42:24Speaker 1: are calling the best book ever written for kids. Two
- 42:27Speaker 1: Doting Dads the question three times.
- 42:30Speaker 3: I think it's Amazon.
- 42:31Speaker 1: It's like twelve bucks, also twelve bucks maybe online.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Best.
- 42:35Speaker 1: We've written a book that I'm sure you've heard us
- 42:37Speaker 1: talk about many times. It's one that the kids will
- 42:39Speaker 1: like and hopefully the adults will also enjoy it as well. Agreed,
- 42:44Speaker 1: it's not a book about two go dads. That's our
- 42:48Speaker 1: adults only.
- 42:49Speaker 3: We'll go to get out of here, Bye bye, Yeah,
- 42:57Speaker 3: keep going. Yep, are I'm alive?
