  Speaker 2: What's a roll patrol?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So there's Vietnamese bakery on the Northern Beaches, yep, called
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Vans shout out. They definitely not have any social media
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: or anything. Yeah, there's a treasure map to try and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: find them. But they do fresh rolls on the day,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: hot rolls and on Christmas Day and people buy and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: buy the fucking garbage bag. What they're so good?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Is it a kid they're getting a roll?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like a tradition. It's it's huge.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of this. And why have you never
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: bought me a role?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Because they only good on the day you buy them, right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So I was on the rolls.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: But that's a great job to have because over go
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: for a nice, long, relaxing drive. Do you win the kids?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It's the vest but also something and then.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You're like, there was such a long queue. Actually were
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: gone for three hours full dislaimer.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: There has been years that I've got them the day before.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: If my family is listening, that's a lie. Yeah, look
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's much easier than day before if I want us,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's my job. And then Nan had the ham.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: She won it. She went to ham every year. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: would say that we haven't paid for a ham in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: my family in twenty years. It's a nice flex. Sister
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: was on the salads. What it sounds like? A very
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: memorable too, focused on the rolls. But it was good.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We all got together because obviously it's hard to do
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: all the families in one day. We did April's parents
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: side of the family on Christmas Eve, which is nice
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: too because then the kids got to see them all
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Christmas Eve it's all about them, and then the next
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: day it's my family.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Doesn't feel doesn't feel very Christmas y when it's it's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: done like two weeks prior to Christmas.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people are like, was that someone had their family
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Christmas in November? That's not right? What's that about?
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Santa Claus is just like, how are you explaining that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: one to the kids? Yeah, he comes early. I'm not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: going to make his ex joke I'm doing.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Strong as is just sitting there coming down his brow.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: It's like when I'm trying to hold you on it.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Did you do a pork No, very good decision, there's ham.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Remind me to send this episode to Laura.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, pigs are impressive, bro. They are the givers different
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the different variations of meat. Anyway, carry on, they provide
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a lot. You don't like the pork.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: No, what we is a second.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Year in a row.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: We did Christmas at our house sucks for two years. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: we moved in just before Christmas. Time time fly does
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: when you're doing a podcast with your best friend, really
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: shut up. So we did pork last year, and I said, Laura,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: we're doing Christmas again with all the family. There's no
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: need to do pork again. Well, what happened with the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: pork before was just the issue. Was issue was it's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: just very stressful, just another thing to run around and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: try and grab on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas Day,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you know, as soon as you do presents with the kids,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and then you're straight into the process of like getting
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the meat ready and blah blah blah blah blah, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: just the stress levels already high enough. You just don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: need another thing to worry about. And like you said,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: very good point, Ash, you've already got the ham. It's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: almost disrespectful, I think, to the pig community to offer
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: ham and pork in the one meal.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Or is it a compliment? You have so much to offer,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we want more of you.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Very good point.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I just thought, we've got it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: We've got ham, right, we've got seafood, we've got the salads.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: We don't do seafood, or we do on April fuck
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we do on April side. So April's dad no prawns,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: gets the prawns and pills anyone allergic My dad's dad
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: who's now dead, not from fish condolences, thank you. Uh.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: He was an avid fisherman, so that everything's not like
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fish all the time. My dad cannot stand fish.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Wow, Okay interesting. Yeah, so I thought there's just no need,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: no need. And also, yeah, the biggest ick that I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: get is on a summer's day having the oven of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: full ball and doing roast faggies and then doing a.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Full your lunch sounds amazing. I'm over here rubbing two
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: sticks together and you're fucking indulging it. You're knocking back meats,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: like what about this pork? We don't want it, We
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: don't want it anyway. I do think it's it's not necessary.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's you could have it or you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: could go without. We don't have it anyway.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Then it was it was one. It was a cause
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: an argument, Yeah, cause an argument because poor crackling. I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: don't I don't know. I've never done it. I've never
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: really cooked pork.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Huge. It's hard. It is hard.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: People have lots of opinions, like when you start putting
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: salt on the skin and anyway, Like many people would
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: come over and they'd be like, you haven't started salting them.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Poor. That's the thing with Christmas, and your family comes
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: over and everyone's got a different ways they do ship.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And Laura was in charge. And Laura is very good
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: at the pork because once one.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Dish that she is unbelievable delicious from here.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: But that that caused it sounds fucking weird to say,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: but the subject of pork almost destroyed Christmas.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a balancing act Christmas where you get
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: stuck with the real red hot uncle who's like says
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: something that is just so boomer and you're like, yeah,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: because she's trying not to have the argument or.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: What you're the uncle and your family.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: My father in law's partner's son's girlfriend is Thaie, so
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: she had she brang a lovely chicken curry that they
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: have on Christmas is a mustanham chicken. Was delightful. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was going back for the rice and I was just like,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: this is Christmas.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: A chicken curry on Christmas? Fuck me with the Vietnamese rolls.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. It was like the un and my
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: father in law speaking broken English to this quarter. It
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: was great. But like I said, like you bring all
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the family together Jesus Christ.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: When my family, well, when all the families left, because
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: my my family came down from Brisbane and rock Hampton
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: shout out to the brothers. And Laura's family came from Woollongong.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: That came from North Queensland. Where's he from?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Laura's dad Magnetic Island.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: That I was going to say, it came all the
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: way from Magnetic Island. It was we will full to
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the brim as family of family and it's nice, but
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: it's one of those feelings where I'm trying it's nice,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: but it's like, Okay, at risk of you making fun
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of me, I would never have you ever had cavia.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I would have been able to taste the delicacy that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: is cavia.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Please do tell I know you're the wrong crowd if
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: you if you're poor, you're easier. You never want to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: try cavier?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Is it fish eggs?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Is that what it is? Yes? Very good fish.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Come.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I've eaten caviat before, right, it must be nice, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't like it. You have to try and tell
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: yourself like, no, you've got to like this, Like, you've
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: got to enjoy it. You know this is good. This
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: is You've got to cherish the deep down you're like,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: but I'm not really enjoying it. But at the same time,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: it's this battle, internal battle of trying to enjoy it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: when you don't. Really.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: It's a bit like Christmas. It's very true.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Christmas is a moment in the year when you're forced
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: to people like, do people actually out there? Do they
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: enjoy it?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: End to end? No? No, people, I.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Mean it looks very happy on like, there's many moments.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: There's moments were like opening the presence, I'm like, this
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: is great. The kids are happy.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Love that until the till is a meltdown, like until
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: like the first meltdown, and you're like, oh, or you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: realize that, you realize that that was a stupid idea
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to get that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Do you know what caused the massive meltdown with my kids?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: On Christmas morning? We got equal gifts pretty much almost replicated. Like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: got a new dress for Mali.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It helps me. You got two girls, Yeah, got the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: exact same dress, but a size smaller for Lola.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Mary got a new bike. Lola got a new bike.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Like we matched, right, except there was always one person
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: who would open their present quicker than the other person.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: And so for example, Lola would like open her present,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: first look at Marley, who was still opening her present,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: and go she got more than me, And we go no, no,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: she's just you at the same present. She's just still
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: opening it. She's taking a bit more time.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: She's a bit more careful with the wrapping, and that,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: like every present was the battle of who's got more.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: It sums up your kid's personalities too. Lola's like, he
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: just got mar She's like, I'm doing the reputting the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: sticky tape back on the.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Roll, like so many moments where I was thinking to myself,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: this is Christmas.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: You have to like it. Yeah, when I don't outstand.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It, waving goodbye to the last family member, when that
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: front door closed and I could finally have the house
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: to my my owner game.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah beautiful. I just like I find it when I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: go to Christmas. I just find a vacant room to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: hide in All the time. I'm like, oh, God, shut
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the door or something, especially if they got air coon
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it's like thirty five degrees out.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: But don't reckon it, like I guess if you're by yourself.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Laura and I did that for a bit and someone
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: came into the room, and I think they thought we
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: were trying to have like sex.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I was on my own. I'm like, I still got
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: my pants on. My kids. The meltdown came after they
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: were very spoilt. Of course, Oh it must be nice.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't me that spoiled them. It was Santa.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: No, Santa.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It was because April's obviously got mum, partner, dad, partner,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: brothers with no kids. The benefit of broken families, extra stuff.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Extra stuff.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but not for them, not for me, because they
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: buy so much stuff, and like I preempted that. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: knew April had bought some things for the kids that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: needed batteries, and you know how fiddly it is to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: get the little screwdriver out to get the batter so
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I pre emptied and I hid the batteries in the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: house so that when they wanted to play with it,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they could only really play with a couple of things,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: all of them in the same day. Because they play,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: they want to play with everything that day, and then
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they bored with it. So I hid the bat trees
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: because I just was like, I don't want to have
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to spend my day changing batteries. And then April found
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the batteries. I was one step ahead. I've hid the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: little screwdrivers so that I couldn't get into it and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: trying to explain to Oscar. So that's causing meltdowns as
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it is. And I sort of got to the point
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: where April found the screwdrivers and I had to put
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: things together.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But she found the screwed Yeah, she's good, she's good.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Where'd you hide them?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Just a drawer below? Didn't have that much effort into it,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but they Oscar just wanted to play with absolutely everything,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and there's always a family member that gets you that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: one thing that it's obnoxiously annoying crime for their kid
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: slime is a bad one. This is a battery operator
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to and of course Oscar wanted to play with this
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: one first because it's obscure looking to everything else. Microphone No, no,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that was last year. About that microphone still in hiding,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: been a whole year. No one's asked me about it anyway,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: for now anyway. So he got gifted this from an
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: auntie of mine, which I'm not happy about. I'm gonna
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: show you and you can see my frustration. Please, is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: this exactly? It's a centipede. For those listening forget, this
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is not a visual medium. It's a centipede. It's a
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: remote control centipede.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. I thought that would scare the hell
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: out of the kids.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: It would. Why would you get that? Does it work? Yeah,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you. Followed by it's like a Russia.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Oh so picture this.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I can't even talk over it. Listen it's so loud
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you can't even turn it down.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Busters like a.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Picture this. I'm at home after spending a whole day
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: with my family. Listen to them yap on and then
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I get home to this, No offense to my armie,

  Speaker 2: No?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Definitely not, it's horrible. Just get them a ball.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Also, why make one thing do so much? Like the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: vape is like unnecessary, but like sure like the disc music.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if it would just scamp it around, it can just.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Be a simple centipede.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: My little dog is petrified that I fucking Betty is

• 16:09
  Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, he's put on a disco Yeah, apparently
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: he was like midway through doing it, took his hat
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: off and turned it backwards b and was like, that
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is if you want your child to be a DJ.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Fuck boy, vbes, vabes.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got it all. Love that anyway. That was
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: my Christmas day was spent changing batteries.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's worth asking the question considering
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: how your Christmas went, but how was your New Year's?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Was it any better, is it worse?
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: News was good. We just had some people over at
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: our place with their kids. I've got a trampoline. It
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was nice, got a half pipe. They love that.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Well. Money bags over here.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Did you take them on a new helicopter pad?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: No, it's not built yet.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: So that was pretty good. We made some pizzas and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the album was lovely as well.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: You're just the little what don't you have in this
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: mansion of yours?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Ownership? Rent? It's a rental, but we It was funny
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: when we sort of got to the time of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: evening when all the girls thought they could drop in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: on the skate ramp. Yeah, I want to have a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: skate I'll got a hold onto them dropping in anyway.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: There's only one casualty. She broke w renkle. But that's okay. No.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I suspect she's been on crushes since but she's all right.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Did you set up past past midnight?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I did shit. I was good. I was up till yeah,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: all hours of the morning. Friends over and of course,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like your friends over with their kids, turns into the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: kids having a sleepover because of their parents too drunk
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to drive home. And then we just find we got
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: plenty of room in the rent in the mansion, in
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the rental, so yeah. But then also the problem with
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that is a lot of these kids are so little,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they've never had sleepovers at places before, and they're all
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in different beds and different rooms and different environments. There
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: was one kid who woke up every hour on the hour,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: just just screaming, and it was just like and then
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a parent had to come and be like, didn't put
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: them in the bedroom with the parent? Well, we were
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: all up still, they because kids are going to get
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a bit earlier, are they, Matt Okay, Yeah, I gotcha. Yeah,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: And then like every hour there I go again, because
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they was it.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: When that kid would like scream and go outside, all
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the parents are like, they're trying to drop it on
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: af fucking half.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Was getting no wonder he was screaming.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: He was like, I'm living in the centipedes den.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Anyway, we it was good. What about you? Sorry? How
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: was your ears?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Right, it's a bit overrated, isn't it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I think? Be too to advocate put it pretty well
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: when they said you get to an age where you
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: start to become content with the nine pm fireworks.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, last last.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Year we like hung on for dear life to midnight.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: This year I did it again, and it was the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: first time where I was like, yeah, I definitely don't
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: have to do that every game. It's the same shites
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: nine o'clock. Of course, the difference if I didn't have
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the kids the next morning.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. April did that thing where she's like, I'm only
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: staying up for the nine o'clock fireworks, and then she
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: got the lid when she went to bed at like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: two o'clock. I watch.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I got like. We were at my sister's place down
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: down the South coast and we put on the ABC
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: looked at the fireworks.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Is it just me?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Does it go on for.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Far too low long? It must be terrible for the environment,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: especially when we're all like, are we boomers now? But
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: all year noise? It's all year we talk about got
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to preserve the planet. Do you think we're only talking
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: about preserving that minute so that we can have a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: firework at the end of the years. And they're just like,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: fuck this, we did it. We got through another year
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and plopping them.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: We're in champagne on each other, I know.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And it's like, do we just care for the environmental
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: use so that we can have that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Celebration because everyone's everyone's done, even the environmentalists done by
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: like zero fuck it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Deal without in January and they come with a new plan.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: We actually need to be at net negative one now
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: because of the fireworks celebration.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: We just let off four thousand tons of fireworks worldwide. Meanwhile,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: all the animals are like.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Ah, where'd you get a fireways from camera went on
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: for forever so long they've got like it's like three soundtracks.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I think if you've got it, if it's more than
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: one soundtrack, one song, one song tuned or is that
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: just us? And because we're getting deep today it's almost
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: forty is it just us not being able to pay
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: attention to something long enough?
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I was too tired.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: You've got a d D.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: So the TN diagnosed the two of us a fireworks
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: show terrible.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Someone put it really blunt the other day where they like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: what about those people who video the fireworks? Who are
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: you showing in like shoes like the hell's years look
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: at this. It's definitely it's definitely our parents generation being
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: like quick get it and it's always grainy and blurry.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Fireworks look so shit on camera. I know, especially on iPhone.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Ask you, mom, I bet your March has a video
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: of the TV. It's like, oh memories.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: No fuck, I've never gone back and looked at it
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: New Years? Why do people do that? But I've good idea,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: good an idea. I think virtual fireworks. Everyone puts a
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: VR mask on a planet. That's a great idea.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Save the planet. I say, I.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Reckon, we've got it wrong in terms of Christmas and
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: New Year, because I reckon, by the time we have Christmas,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: like I'm not, I haven't decompressed, I haven't started to
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: drop a gear because December is very crazy. So I reckon,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I reckon we should flip it because only by like
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the second of January, am I starting to really hit
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: peak relaxation mode. And so I reckon we should have
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Christmas on like the third of January.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, And this is why I think your points are valid.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Let me validate you first.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Your points are valid, but they're stupid. That reminds me
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I think you're onto something there. But then you've you've
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: ruined it by saying you were just starting to relax
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: leave it in last year, leave it in the year
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: behind so like you're saying, if you're getting to relax
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: on the second and then you're like throw Christmas in there.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Now, you're not gonna have that relaxation.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You're not going to have it because December is going
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to be all about still all about it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: So you think it's still best to front load holidays
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: with the most stressful task of all the most stressful
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: task of the entire year. Get that done as soon
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: as you can.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes this is how it goes, goes stress
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: December first start there, stressful, right, Yeah. Then between Christmas
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and New Year's confusion, peak confusion, peak confusion. What day
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: is it? What month is it?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Don't care?
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Usually is a lot of what's the weather doing today?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Chat? Is there a southerly coming? Did you have that.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Cold day on like the twenty I think it was
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the second of Jan cold day and second of Jam.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know when the second of Jan was bro.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: So I apologize.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: That's I mean confusion followed by relaxation. Today's my favorite day.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: The kids have been looked after. It's beautiful, it's perfect. Also,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I had COVID during the confusion.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: That's right. I don't care about you and your COVID
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: story though, But I'm just saying.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think that's how goo stress, confusion, party,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: self reflection, sadness.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: And where are we are?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: You're on the way back down at Earth, then relaxation.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And that is the holiday sun up by Ashton Wick.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Hey.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I've got a couple of questions, but before we go
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: into them, I just want to know if you have
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: any resolutions this year.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I did have those silly ones last year.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: We're aw dog in this year. I achieved absolutely nothing
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: last year. You're right, personally, mentally, physically, definitely.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Not anything for this year, anything at all, some balance.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to put you on the spot and you
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: have opened up to me about one desire.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: One wish, one dream, Okay on stage, Yes, go on,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to masturbate on stage. Be serious. I can't
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: be serious, and I was serious. I would love to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: get on stage at some point.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I'm here to try and enable that dream. Okay, great,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: So I've booked you in shut up resolution for you.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: My resolution really, I think for this year.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Is just to.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Survive, survive and also not become. I feel like as
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I get older, I get grumpier. I'm more unhappy with people. Okay,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: like like turning into a booth, but literally I'm turning
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: into like when I was at the shops when I
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: was younger, and you see someone you know, and you'd.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Be like, hey, Jimmy, how are you mate?
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And now I'm like, oh fuck, I get back in
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the car and I drive home.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I cross over there.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like when did this happen? At a moment with
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: our neighbors across the road so nice. Their daughter is
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: in my niece's grade, and so like We've got that
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: connection there. They're in like, yeah, you seem to have
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: connections everywhere in the ecosystem. They had a you know,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: their front lawn is so steep, ye, so they put
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: a slipping slide down there. They had a dad stand
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: at the end and was catching the kids as they
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: would like come off the oh how do you get
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that ship job? He was loving ith and so our
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: kids run across and did it. And that was probably
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the most interaction I've had with them for a little while.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And then I like normally, you know, you park the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: car and there there and you're like hey, hey, like
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the long distance wave and then I came back from
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: our little trip away down south and I was like,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I think I'm ready for like interaction. Like I went
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: to go check the mail and they were out of
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the front packing their car up, and I was like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: did the long distance wave? And they said Happy New Year?
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: And I was like, that's that's the invite. I So
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, walk down the stairs and I was.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Like, what did you guys do?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, I just it was just here.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: And I could tell that they didn't want They just
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: wanted a long distance way. And I was like, whor
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: ay off to and they're like, we're going up north
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: for a camping trip. And I was like, oh, that's
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: that's great.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Want to watch the house?
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Remind me to take their bins out? Okay, a couple
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: of questions ash, these are both from us. We haven't
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: had any questions submitted over the Christmas break. People had
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: a holiday. That's fine.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: People will ask people for questions and get your own questions.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: But if you have any questions, please, that's why we're here.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We're not experts.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll just give you our opinion. Leave it
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: with a bit of sexual in the window humor. Oh,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: there will be sex in there, pepper over the top,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: and if that's what you're after, send it in. But
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: my question is we got Malia bike for Christmas and
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: the training was it's a bit of a bigger bike
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: because the guy up sold me the larger size. He
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: was like, we'll go out of the small one about
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: six with cup holds. So I got her a bike.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: The training wheels they can't quite fit, so they rock.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: You want it like that? I'm going to tell you
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: why continue.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Because every corner she's like all the way over.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: But you wanted to rock a bit so that they
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: can build their own balance.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So I then just completely died it. Okay, so shut up.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I've removed them. I removed the train removal. I just
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: thought someone a guy, the guy at the park, was like.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Is that Jim? What do you want to do is
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: go to training wheels?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Push him down the stevens you can find And I
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: was like, you got it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Old man who smells oh.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Man I've never met before, just given me. It's like,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: do you have any kids? He's like nah? I ripped
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: him off. And how did she go with that? Terrible?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Oh no, terrible? Does osk a rye without training wheels.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: No, okay, honestly we had this conversation. The bike's been
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: phased out. Why you've told me this. You were saying
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: people are phasing out of the bike because April doesn't
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: know how to ride a bike. Yeah, we should also
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: teach it how to ride a bike.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, at the same time with Marley, because there's the
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: towel technique. Apparently you put a towel across the chest
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and so the towel hangs below like behind, and you
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: then like, oh, you hold on, you hold onto the towel,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: and then if they start to fall, you can just
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: like lift them up with a towel. The towel is
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: like the safety net.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: What if the balance and they balance and then go
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: head over like towel. Yeah, but that's what I mean.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: If you've that your head's heav than your legs, No,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: because if you can't fall forward because the towel will
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: be yank them back.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, But I just wondered if anyone out there
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: who has any tips. So what's your question, because you're
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: you're redundant, because you're you have no experience.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe ask what I would do?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: What would you do?
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I have taught a how to ride a bike before,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: but she's forgotten. So that was pretty funny. So what
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I did there was go on hit me with it,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: sort of gas lighted into it. So I was like,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I'm here, I'm here.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: In the long distance wave. If there's anyone else out
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: there who has experienced, we would like to have some
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: tips on how to teach a child to ride a
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: bike without training wheels. Yeah, please send them our way,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: April Lasso needs them.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Need them more than anyone. Just pretty un coordinated.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Your question.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: My question is I talked about the confusing time of
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the year, which is between Christmas and news. During that time,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: do you send your kids to daycare? If the daycare
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: is open, of course, which some are. We've worked that out,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: do you send them or you do not send them?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Send them?
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Fuck off, get out of here. So you had your fun.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: We don't.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: And that's the reason why you guys are bad parents.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I'm glad someone said it again. It's confusing time of year.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You don't know what day it is, but I think
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it must be confusing for your kids because you do
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: all the celebratory things at the end of the year,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: like you have the Christmas party, there's the kid like
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Marley would have graduated from the KINDI. But then then
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: it's like Christmas and then what you just send them straight.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden they're packing their bags
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: and being sent out the daycare. It's very confusing.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Is there anyone else there?
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: We didn't do it this year because we wrapped up,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: we've changed daycares. Marla is also going to start school,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: so that daycare is done. We did send them on
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the twenty fifth, that's Christmas day, bro twenty.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Third, that's Genius twenty third, twenty third, the day before yeah, Christmas,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: And there was a couple of kids there.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: But last year because at our daycare, they were open
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: on those dates between Christmas and your year, and we
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: were enrolled four days a week, and so if the
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: kids didn't attend, you know, we're paying a giant amount
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: of money, a shitload if you will, every day per kid,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: two of them. So we're like, well, you guys are
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: going to go because that's money out of our back pocket.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Also meant that Laura and I could have a little
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: bit of time together. We did like a ten to
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: three I think.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like six am to six. We always yeah, eight to.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Six, and there was like, no kids that and you
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: do feel guilty, But I.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Think, for about ten seconds, I think, once you've.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Gotten through Christmas as a parent, you deserve a little breather.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: And the kids are fine. They're actually probably having more
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: fun at Dacre than they are with you at home
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: being grumpy and yelling at ch April.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And I had an argument over it because I so
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Christmas happened, and then obviously they finished a few days
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: before Christmas, so we were all together, which is fine.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I guess, you know, family days are down the beach,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: but you know, you get annoyed with each other. And
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: I lost it a little bit because I didn't know
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the KINDI was open. They're still in role to go
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so I can do casual days here and there if
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: they have a room. And then I rang a friend
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: of mine. Their kids go to the same kindy who
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: my kids play with those kids pretty much every day
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: outside of Kindy, and I was like, hey, what are
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you guys up to today? And he's like, oh, you know,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: man Son, my wife were going to make my go
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: for a walk and grab a coffee and have lunch together.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: And I was like where are the kids? He's like,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I've dropped them at Kindy and I was like, are
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: you fucking for real?
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I had no idea.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I had no idea, And I said turned to April
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and I was like, guess what Mike and Son's doing today.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: They're going to go have lunch together. I have some
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: time for themselves. Imagine if you were having lunch with them.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, my kids are asking to play with
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: their kids that they're in Kindy. Why are we not
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: sending our kids to Hindi? And I was like, oh,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I would feel bad. I was like, you're the only
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: one who feels bad.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Just do a three quarter a day.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: We're over here at each other's throats trying to get
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the kids organized to go to the beach for the
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: kids that they hang out with the beach are at
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Kindy and even Oscar was like, can I go? Can
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I go to Kidney? Literally? Like I could? I was
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: like yeah, And Abral was like, no.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Send them, no, get rid of them. You'll be a
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: better parent for it. Oh mark my words, mark them down.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I think we need to normalize sending them. So this
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: is a call out to all parents listening.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Get rid of your kids.
• 34:23
