- 2:09Speaker 1: you should get your kids dressed.
- 2:11Speaker 2: No, why wouldn't you just say that's a lovely outfit,
- 2:16Speaker 2: would you? You'd be like, honestly, I didn't I get
- 2:21Speaker 2: my kids dressed, thank you very much.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I didn't know any of it.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Was going out of my mouth film By the time
- 2:29Speaker 1: it happened, I was like and then I was like
- 2:32Speaker 1: to the kid, I was like, do you know that's
- 2:34Speaker 1: my I had like a stegosaurus on it, probably my
- 2:36Speaker 1: least favorite dinosaur, but I lie a second and it's
- 2:41Speaker 1: my favorite dinosaur. Trying to smooth it over, so you lied.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I really put my foot into that.
- 2:46Speaker 2: For the record, What would you like to see printed
- 2:49Speaker 2: on some clothing? What dinosaur tickles your fancy t rex?
- 2:53Speaker 1: Nah? Too aggressive? Veloci raptor, a rap door vel rapt
- 2:59Speaker 1: or raptor. Wow, Probably something more woke than that, like
- 3:05Speaker 1: a vegetarian dinosaurs just to keep every unhappy?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Like, what give me some a deglar dopus, dipple docus
- 3:11Speaker 2: that's it? What is that dips the long necks?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. This is not a this is
- 3:17Speaker 1: a podcast all about dinosaurs. Anyway. I would just want
- 3:21Speaker 1: to say sorry to that mum. How your tracks? Did
- 3:23Speaker 1: you apologize? I got the fuck out of there, That's
- 3:25Speaker 1: what I just pushed over the fans. I'm like, I'm
- 3:27Speaker 1: out of here.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Hey, this is now going to be housekeeping. Just want
- 3:33Speaker 2: to let people know that maybe I got a little
- 3:36Speaker 2: bit excited a little bit trigger happy with the jingles,
- 3:40Speaker 2: and I suggested that we put together a jingle for
- 3:43Speaker 2: this segment of Housekeeping, and Ash was like, whoa.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Well, hang on a fucking second, we're just putting jingles
- 3:51Speaker 2: in every two seconds.
- 3:52Speaker 1: In this podcast. I saw that post and I was like,
- 3:54Speaker 1: we didn't discuss.
- 3:55Speaker 2: This for the record Blink one eight two, small things.
- 3:58Speaker 2: It was a suggestion.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Keeping is bigger than small things.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Okay, well that pretty much the whole show. If it
- 4:06Speaker 2: wasn't for Ash, you would have just heard our rendition
- 4:10Speaker 2: of Blink one eight two. But Ashes said, no, just
- 4:12Speaker 2: kidding here it is so I just want to let
- 4:17Speaker 2: let that be known to the good people the dots,
- 4:19Speaker 2: if you will.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I think I think it's safe to have no jingles.
- 4:23Speaker 2: That's fine, that's fine, that's fine.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Every episode is going to be all music. It's turning
- 4:28Speaker 1: into a musical. Sorry.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Actually, that's why you're against it, because you hate musicals.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I feel like we do housekeeping first, so it will
- 4:37Speaker 1: go into our show. Start too soon? There, too soon?
- 4:42Speaker 2: You want you want to talk about nockiers, my bro.
- 4:44Speaker 1: No, we don't. Sorry, oh yeah, we'll retouch that next

- 6:15Speaker 2: I have to tell you about the fact that I
- 6:18Speaker 2: think my house is cursed.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Which one I walked into that, didn't you? I actually
- 6:25Speaker 1: went on the fourth mansions be cursed.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I actually actually bumped into someone and sorry, this is
- 6:32Speaker 2: really bad. He said, how's the house? And I said,
- 6:37Speaker 2: I said which one? He was like, oh, the one
- 6:40Speaker 2: you've just renovated.
- 6:41Speaker 1: And I was like, which one. I was joking.
- 6:45Speaker 2: I was joking the BONDI houses go on white goods. Oh,
- 6:50Speaker 2: bloody white white goods. We just lost last week. The dishwasher.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Well, it hurt us talking about all the other dishwashers.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I'm out of here.
- 6:58Speaker 2: I don't know if it was the fact that I
- 7:00Speaker 2: kept opening at mid cycle that over time. I don't
- 7:04Speaker 2: know if it has It was a very old dishwasher.
- 7:07Speaker 2: The dishwasher was at least like twelve years old.
- 7:09Speaker 1: That's a long time that is old. It was on
- 7:11Speaker 1: its last day. I just give up, don't And I
- 7:13Speaker 1: was like.
- 7:14Speaker 2: To get twelve years out of a dishwasher, I'm happy
- 7:17Speaker 2: with that.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You should be very happy. Oh yeah, that's an outstanding inning.
- 7:20Speaker 2: When it finally went, I said, rest easy.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like when a really really old person dies
- 7:26Speaker 1: and then they're like how old. They're like, ohe oh
- 7:28Speaker 1: good innings. Yeah, same thing, thank you. It was like
- 7:31Speaker 1: great innings.
- 7:31Speaker 2: But on the other end of the spectrum, the fridge
- 7:35Speaker 2: just died.
- 7:35Speaker 1: The one at your at the Bondo house, that's new.
- 7:38Speaker 2: It's five months old.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that's the one with the you had the
- 7:41Speaker 1: problem with the plumbing.
- 7:43Speaker 2: It's like losing a puppy, you know. It's how old
- 7:45Speaker 2: was the dog that hit by the car? It was
- 7:47Speaker 2: only one.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I would say it's somewhat sadder than losing a puppy.
- 7:50Speaker 2: It's more of a headache, that's for sure. Yeah, I'm
- 7:53Speaker 2: doing okay for those who are wondering, but it is
- 7:57Speaker 2: it's a real pain in the ass.
- 7:58Speaker 1: What sort of like what happened?
- 8:00Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 8:00Speaker 1: I think it was Laura. I think it was Laura. Okay,
- 8:04Speaker 1: I didn't she do? Okay, what about it just stopped working.
- 8:07Speaker 1: It's got to be some sort of investigation, I.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Said to her. So she was like, it's broken. The
- 8:14Speaker 2: freezer is not working. And I was like, well, hang
- 8:17Speaker 2: on a second, you've got it. So she's just so unorganized,
- 8:20Speaker 2: and she had a bottle like that is like a
- 8:22Speaker 2: little cooler and it was like jammed in the door,
- 8:26Speaker 2: so the door wasn't shut properly, so it had been
- 8:27Speaker 2: running overnight with the door the freezer.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Ajar. Yeah. One of the key factors to a fridge
- 8:33Speaker 1: or freezer is the door needs to be shut, you
- 8:35Speaker 1: know it. Yeah, thank you. It's like years of my
- 8:38Speaker 1: childhood and my mum yelling at me for not keep it,
- 8:41Speaker 1: keep it, keep it closed.
- 8:42Speaker 2: It's just so Then off the back of that, I
- 8:45Speaker 2: don't I don't know if it's.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Strained the fridge.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And I had my milk in my cereal on Monday
- 8:52Speaker 2: morning and I thought it was Sunday was I was like,
- 8:55Speaker 2: that's weird. It's not very cold and tastes kind of tangy.
- 8:59Speaker 2: And then I've finished it and then the next hour
- 9:02Speaker 2: I was like, this is this is serious? Nothing's getting cold.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Oh I know, so you think that the engine has
- 9:09Speaker 1: been worked to death.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I'm no expert here, ash, I'd love to know. I'd
- 9:13Speaker 2: love to get NANSA. But the other issue is, and
- 9:15Speaker 2: once again, I know a lot of people are dealing
- 9:17Speaker 2: with some serious issues right now, so mine, in comparison
- 9:20Speaker 2: is very small. I understand that. But I finally got
- 9:24Speaker 2: hold of the brand and I said, look, five month
- 9:26Speaker 2: old fridge gone, and they said we can send a
- 9:30Speaker 2: technician in two weeks.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Two weeks, that's what I said.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I said, you know, I have three children, one of
- 9:35Speaker 2: whom alight a bit and said it's two months old
- 9:37Speaker 2: because it's more dramatic.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yeah, how old is popic?
- 9:41Speaker 2: Five months?
- 9:42Speaker 1: Fuck? Wow? That went? Fuck fuck? Where did that last
- 9:45Speaker 1: five months ago?
- 9:45Speaker 2: I don't know, bro, I'm fucking staying awake every night
- 9:47Speaker 2: with a fucking screaming child. I can tell you it's
- 9:49Speaker 2: not going quick my end.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Just for the record, fair enough.
- 9:52Speaker 2: So at the moment we're living out of eskis.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Oh okay, can we go back to two weeks? Really cool?
- 9:58Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 9:59Speaker 1: Please?
- 10:00Speaker 2: What if they got on I don't know they wouldn't
- 10:02Speaker 2: tell me. I said, how many technicians do you have?
- 10:04Speaker 2: And they said, that's none of your business.
- 10:06Speaker 1: One and yeah.
- 10:08Speaker 2: So currently surviving on rations added the escape. It was
- 10:12Speaker 2: like camping and we're washing everything by hand as well.
- 10:14Speaker 1: It's fucked and ice is not cheap.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Ice is very expensive, except.
- 10:18Speaker 1: They do a bundle deal.
- 10:19Speaker 2: They do a bundle deal. I don't need four bags.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Every time. He's like, you paid.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Two bucks more, you get an extra bag, yeah, and
- 10:26Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll do it. I came home with a
- 10:28Speaker 2: fucking carful of ice. Laura was like, why so much ice?
- 10:32Speaker 1: You ruck the fridge?
- 10:36Speaker 2: And do you know what else happened? God, the Meredith cheese?
- 10:40Speaker 1: What's that? I knew you wouldn't know. Is that a
- 10:43Speaker 1: jab because I'm poor? Yes? Oh no, no, I just
- 10:52Speaker 1: you wouldn't.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I feel like not to generalize, but Mum's Mum's listening
- 10:56Speaker 2: right now.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I'd be like, yes, the Meredith, I don't know what
- 10:58Speaker 1: that is, okay, right, okay. I was like, Meredith, that's
- 11:03Speaker 1: my mother. She's giving you cheese and not me. The
- 11:06Speaker 1: fuck is that about? We can use the cheese where Paul,
- 11:09Speaker 1: you're talking about one of your houses is cursed enough
- 11:13Speaker 1: about the houses. So the Meredith Coast cheese curse is
- 11:19Speaker 1: in a jar of oil, and Laura's put that into
- 11:23Speaker 1: the eski. This morning.
- 11:24Speaker 2: She got the milk out and was like, fuck, milk
- 11:27Speaker 2: is covered in oil. And then she pulled out the
- 11:29Speaker 2: Meredith cheese, which is now just the cheese, no oil,
- 11:31Speaker 2: because it had leaked out.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Into the eski.
- 11:34Speaker 2: And then she goes, your fucking mom did this. She goes,
- 11:39Speaker 2: you can never get the lids on because of her arthritis.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Then Laura went to work and then mom was like,
- 11:43Speaker 2: where's all the oil come from? And I said, and
- 11:47Speaker 2: Meredith cheese, And she goes, fucking Laura.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Oh, they're against each other. We're all attacking each other
- 11:53Speaker 1: right now.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I thought a fridge would bring down the Johnson and
- 11:56Speaker 3: the dishwasher.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Oh my god. Anyway, speaking of poverty, Oscar lost a tooth.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Not okay, that sounded bad, did you? Was it you? No? Sorry?
- 12:09Speaker 2: Friend of mine? Okay, friend of mine. Child swallowed the tooth, said,
- 12:14Speaker 2: what's the policy here?
- 12:15Speaker 1: Do you go through the shit? No, that thing's gone.
- 12:18Speaker 1: My mum once did that. She also cut your foreskin off,
- 12:20Speaker 1: remember when you were like seven. She is an animal. God,
- 12:25Speaker 1: don't go around, she'll chop something of yours off. My
- 12:27Speaker 1: brother forced her.
- 12:30Speaker 2: He shat in it like a container, takeaway container, and
- 12:33Speaker 2: for like the next three shits, she went through it
- 12:35Speaker 2: to try and find the tooth that he's swallowed. Still
- 12:37Speaker 2: couldn't find it.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He's metabolized it. Yeah, it's become a part of him again,
- 12:41Speaker 1: How did oscar oscar? It's his second tooth? Okay, and
- 12:46Speaker 1: he's already Yeah. Just a quick warning, Matt that if
- 12:49Speaker 1: there are kids in the car, whoever is listening to this,
- 12:51Speaker 1: don't worry about the swearing. But we're about to talk
- 12:53Speaker 1: about the tooth fairy.
- 12:54Speaker 2: The magical tooth Fairy. Let's get into that.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Sorry what sorry, take that back?
- 13:01Speaker 2: Take that back?
- 13:02Speaker 4: Oh my god.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Next we'll be talking about Santa Claus and I can't
- 13:05Speaker 1: wait to get into him. And the kids are like,
- 13:08Speaker 1: why is he in the tooth ferry? Oh my goodness,
- 13:11Speaker 1: quarters by surprise, this one it was lose. And I
- 13:14Speaker 1: tell you right now, you don't want to lose the
- 13:18Speaker 1: tooth close to bedtime?
- 13:20Speaker 2: Why?
- 13:20Speaker 1: Because there's a lack who has coins these days, Brota,
- 13:23Speaker 1: I gotta pretend to be there, so we didn't have
- 13:26Speaker 1: any coins, mainly because Oscar has found all the coins
- 13:29Speaker 1: in the house and hidden them for himself. It's for
- 13:31Speaker 1: some point like a doomsday prepper. Where do you even
- 13:34Speaker 1: you to? Servo gets mice that sorry, well done? How
- 13:39Speaker 1: do I get a coin? Was stumped. I devised a
- 13:42Speaker 1: plan though, to get a coin. I was meant to
- 13:44Speaker 1: get one from Mike because trades have coins. Yeah, I
- 13:47Speaker 1: don't know. Why does Dan have coins? Yeah? Yeah, Dan's
- 13:51Speaker 1: a trade and Danny's big partner. Anyway, I devised a
- 13:55Speaker 1: plan because we didn't have any coins, and it was
- 13:57Speaker 1: like seven o'clock at night and the kids were like
- 14:00Speaker 1: about to get into the shower.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Oscars there like rubbing his hands, going yes.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was like to Apem, should I just
- 14:08Speaker 1: say two three? Do work on a Sunday because that's
- 14:10Speaker 1: just an easy way out. And April was like, no,
- 14:13Speaker 1: it's the magic. I'm like, okay, I get it.
- 14:15Speaker 2: She's like she's on holidays, bro, she doesn't do Sundays.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Not the Northern Beaches. No, that's what I was thinking.
- 14:21Speaker 1: No one crosses the spit Bridge on a Sunday.
- 14:24Speaker 2: He'd understand. That's the last thing I'd want he'd be like,
- 14:27Speaker 2: oh fair, you understand. Yeah, I see her on Monday, Yeah, she'll.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Clock in, she'll be there. Yeah, she's already doing nights.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Poor thing. Then I have a day off. Yeah, I'm
- 14:37Speaker 1: going to go do the showers. You come up with
- 14:40Speaker 1: how we do this. I devised the plan no coins
- 14:42Speaker 1: in the house. I absolutely raided that. I tried to
- 14:45Speaker 1: even turn the dog into like a sniffer dog. I'm like,
- 14:48Speaker 1: smell one of oscars coins that he's hoarding. Find more
- 14:50Speaker 1: of these?
- 14:51Speaker 2: Did you find anything? Sometimes you do a spring clean,
- 14:53Speaker 2: you find things that you thought you lost.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I found a poker chip from the Star Casino. Oh
- 14:57Speaker 1: how much ten bucks? It GE's great, give him that, right,
- 15:02Speaker 1: did you know? Okay? I think it wasn't allowed to
- 15:05Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, he doesn't know what.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I love how you've got more poker chips in the
- 15:10Speaker 2: house than you do cloning.
- 15:11Speaker 1: And also I found a Westfield gift card and I
- 15:13Speaker 1: was like, we could do this. Yeah, it's great. No,
- 15:17Speaker 1: I was like, okay, my plan was this. I found
- 15:19Speaker 1: the poker chip, and I was like ten bucks a
- 15:21Speaker 1: bit steep. I'm setting myself up to fail with that,
- 15:23Speaker 1: So I need to somehow. I thought maybe I could
- 15:25Speaker 1: remove the writing on it and then put what I
- 15:28Speaker 1: want on there. But no, I couldn't do that because
- 15:30Speaker 1: it was a proper casino chip and they're like, I
- 15:32Speaker 1: don't want Otherwise, I could just tange it to a
- 15:34Speaker 1: thousand dollars and be like, I want to cash this, right.
- 15:36Speaker 1: So I found these little black stickers to cover it up,
- 15:38Speaker 1: so just look like a chip, like a like a
- 15:40Speaker 1: poker chip with no value. And I thought, this is genius.
- 15:43Speaker 1: This is how I thought it would play out in
- 15:45Speaker 1: my head. The tooth fairy would give him this with
- 15:47Speaker 1: a little note saying what a good boy he's been,
- 15:49Speaker 1: and you're growing up and bloody blah blah blah, exchange
- 15:52Speaker 1: this with your parents for a nominated amount of money.
- 15:55Speaker 1: I hadn't got that far because they shut it down
- 15:57Speaker 1: real quick. She wasn't into it.
- 15:58Speaker 2: No, it's very allowed.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Just fucking get some coins, man, Well should we? April
- 16:02Speaker 1: ended up going to her dad's house and.
- 16:04Speaker 2: She's there forging coins.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Make my own coins.
- 16:07Speaker 2: I'd have like frying pans, like, just go to serve
- 16:09Speaker 2: and get some money up, man.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I thought the plan was foolproof.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Just get some money.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Out, and then I said what about the fifty dollars
- 16:15Speaker 1: give you?
- 16:17Speaker 2: And she's like, you have a servo three minutes down
- 16:20Speaker 2: the road from your house.
- 16:21Speaker 1: A Sunday night, Bro, I'm trying to run wind.
- 16:24Speaker 2: It's a seven to eleven one. They're always open.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Well, what am I gonna spoke? Go in there and
- 16:27Speaker 1: go okay, can I get a dollar out? No?
- 16:30Speaker 2: Get twenty bucks out of the ATM.
- 16:31Speaker 1: I'm not getting twenty bucks.
- 16:32Speaker 2: And say, hey, I just want can I have a
- 16:34Speaker 2: ten dollar note, a five dollar note and a couple
- 16:36Speaker 2: of coins?
- 16:37Speaker 1: I feel like, what do you feel like? Bro? I
- 16:39Speaker 1: feel like we need to move on from the coins.
- 16:42Speaker 1: There needs to be like a maybe like an f
- 16:45Speaker 1: POS machine. But I said this to my mate Mike,
- 16:48Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, yeah, we don't have any
- 16:49Speaker 1: coins either. Like I just write IOUs genius. No, it's
- 16:53Speaker 1: not genius. I'm into that.
- 16:56Speaker 2: That's fucking pathetic. Anyway, Mike, I hope you're well. Don't
- 17:00Speaker 2: mean to attack you. The Magic of the Tooth Fairy
- 17:04Speaker 2: and you sound like April.
- 17:05Speaker 1: They wake up to a.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Fucking scrap bit of paper saying hey, sorry, the Tooth
- 17:11Speaker 2: Fairy's got gambling problems She's like, I can't pay you tonight.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Sorry about that.
- 17:15Speaker 3: Sunday is the tooth Fairries nominated gambling day.
- 17:18Speaker 1: You know I'm good for it. Give her a break,
- 17:20Speaker 1: don't judge. Give me a week or two I get
- 17:22Speaker 1: some money together. That's I've got a big bet coming up.
- 17:25Speaker 1: That sounds like a prom or Randwick. Don't worry, it's
- 17:30Speaker 1: a short thing the horses called the Easter Bunny. Anyway,
- 17:35Speaker 1: That's what I'm dealing with. April went and got a dollar,
- 17:37Speaker 1: but I wanted my plan to unfold.
- 17:40Speaker 2: What did you give him in the end?
- 17:41Speaker 1: Cheat? Excuse me? I didn't have any coins, so I
- 17:46Speaker 1: went to all four of my houses to try and
- 17:48Speaker 1: find coins. Jesus man were leaving week to week over here, Matt.
- 17:56Speaker 2: One thing I forgot to do This morning. Marley has
- 17:58Speaker 2: dance class and she has to get to the school
- 18:01Speaker 2: at seven point thirty.
- 18:02Speaker 1: That's ridiculous.
- 18:03Speaker 2: And she has to go in her dance uniform. Her
- 18:06Speaker 2: other uniform is then put in her bag and at
- 18:09Speaker 2: that hour of the morning, it's all It's hard as well,
- 18:11Speaker 2: because Laura gets her partly dressed and then I come in.
- 18:14Speaker 2: I thought that she was wearing undies. Under her leotard.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Turns out she's not. So I dropped off Lola this
- 18:21Speaker 2: morning and then I saw some of Mali's friends and
- 18:23Speaker 2: I said, oh, where's where's Molly?
- 18:24Speaker 1: And I said, oh, she's crying in the hall and
- 18:25Speaker 1: I was like, oh, what happened. She's got no wndies
- 18:30Speaker 1: I know. And then there was other kids there and
- 18:33Speaker 1: I was like, oh.
- 18:34Speaker 2: What's wrong with you, Susie? And she's like, my dad
- 18:36Speaker 2: forgot my shoes.
- 18:38Speaker 1: You felt better?
- 18:39Speaker 2: Oh, there was so many kids who were like one
- 18:42Speaker 2: had no top on, like one had no like hair tie.
- 18:45Speaker 2: It was just it was carnage.
- 18:47Speaker 1: There was a parent with no kid. Yeah, my kids
- 18:51Speaker 1: love wearing no underpants a school. I kept catching them.
- 18:53Speaker 2: I was like, just free ball it. The scorts have
- 18:56Speaker 2: a built in like little shorts. Yeah, a scot That's
- 18:59Speaker 2: why late this morning. So I had to go back
- 19:01Speaker 2: to the school. And then a brown paper bag deliver
- 19:04Speaker 2: undies to the office.
- 19:05Speaker 1: That's way more embarrassing. I'm like, no one knows.
- 19:08Speaker 2: Were like, what are you dropping off?
- 19:09Speaker 1: And I was like, bag andies. It was in a
- 19:14Speaker 1: shopping paper bags. It's a big bag. Opened it up,
- 19:17Speaker 1: there was like a little I should do that to
- 19:18Speaker 1: able to work with a bag of laundrie. You forgot
- 19:21Speaker 1: this for you.
- 19:23Speaker 2: But and then she fucking forgot her hat. She lost
- 19:26Speaker 2: her hat.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Again again, Oh god again.
- 19:29Speaker 2: It was like Jesus Christ.
- 19:30Speaker 1: How many hats? How many hats?
- 19:31Speaker 4: Is that?
- 19:31Speaker 1: Five hats? So wow? That is good gear.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Hey, talking about school hats and losing them. We got
- 19:36Speaker 2: some advice from dots who listen in, and we've got
- 19:39Speaker 2: one here from Sarah. She says, Mada, you need a
- 19:42Speaker 2: hat clip for the girl's bag issue with Sarah. I
- 19:46Speaker 2: hate to attack you here. I appreciate the advice.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Thank you for messaging in like a carabiner. But the
- 19:50Speaker 1: thing is like, it's not like a rock climbing family.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Well it doesn't.
- 19:54Speaker 2: She loses, She takes the hat off. The hat's not
- 19:56Speaker 2: getting anywhere.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Near the bag. She needs a leg rape. Thank you,
- 20:01Speaker 1: thank you. This one's from Natalie. Natalie works in a
- 20:04Speaker 1: primary school and says it would solve so many dramas
- 20:07Speaker 1: if we leave kids hat at school the whole term.
- 20:10Speaker 1: They could leave it in their pigeonholes and they don't
- 20:13Speaker 1: get lost going to and from home at daycare.
- 20:17Speaker 2: The good old days of daycare, the hats always stayed
- 20:20Speaker 2: to daycare, never lost it, never once lost it. The
- 20:23Speaker 2: hat's always there, Natalie, No offense, Sarah, Natalie, great advice.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Yeah, but also, schools are much bigger than a preschool.
- 20:32Speaker 1: The area of a primary school, there's a lot more
- 20:35Speaker 1: places for it to get lost.
- 20:36Speaker 2: And also I feel like the kids are also stealing hats.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Everyone's losing hats. The hat's are being holt out to
- 20:43Speaker 2: the children.
- 20:44Speaker 1: Oh. I always used to just take someone else's hat.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I'm part of the problem. And even one of the
- 20:48Speaker 1: teachers said, just got to lost property. Yeah exactly, And
- 20:52Speaker 1: I was.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Like, no, there's a system in place, that's why we
- 20:56Speaker 2: name the hat.
- 20:56Speaker 1: You throw the system out and move on. Matt breaking news.
- 21:02Speaker 1: Thank you. This one's not a joke. It's not serious.
- 21:04Speaker 1: I'm bringing the serious sauce today. I'll hit you with it.
- 21:07Speaker 1: A new study Matt lifts the lid on what they
- 21:10Speaker 1: call mum rage go on in Australian families, and Aussie
- 21:15Speaker 1: Mum exposes the shocking truth that she says affects almost
- 21:19Speaker 1: every mother. Okay, so they surveyed hundreds of women to
- 21:22Speaker 1: prove this. Okay, and I'll give you some stats. Around
- 21:25Speaker 1: anger in motherhood. An overwhelming ninety seven percent of mum's
- 21:30Speaker 1: experience anger in motherhood. I feel like everyone just experiences
- 21:35Speaker 1: anger at some point. You can't tell me that people
- 21:37Speaker 1: are out there just not angry.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I'm actually worried about that three percent.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Three percent of people out there that reckon they don't
- 21:43Speaker 1: ever get angry. That's garbage.
- 21:45Speaker 2: The three percent line.
- 21:46Speaker 1: They're the dangerous ones.
- 21:47Speaker 2: They're the ones who are bottling it up.
- 21:49Speaker 1: A third Okay of those have a weekly episode of
- 21:54Speaker 1: downright rage, But only twenty percent have ever confided in
- 21:58Speaker 1: another mother, and just six percent were warned properly that
- 22:02Speaker 1: they might feel like this after kids. What kind of
- 22:05Speaker 1: warning do you need? It's just like that's you know,
- 22:08Speaker 1: like this, you're gonna get angry at some point. You've
- 22:12Speaker 1: been warned.
- 22:12Speaker 2: I think for people to say I was never told
- 22:16Speaker 2: that would be angry, it's like someone saying I was
- 22:18Speaker 2: never warned by anyone who was a professional, a medical
- 22:21Speaker 2: staff member. You're going to be really fucking exhausted. Yeah,
- 22:24Speaker 2: other parents have warned me.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Do we need to be told that? VIC?
- 22:28Speaker 2: You're a mum, produced a VIC. Can you just come
- 22:30Speaker 2: with the mic for a second.
- 22:32Speaker 1: What sick vic. Yes. Do you have you ever experienced
- 22:37Speaker 1: mum rage? Yes? And every day.
- 22:43Speaker 4: When I saw this article, I jumped on it because
- 22:45Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I just want to see what
- 22:46Speaker 4: the stats are because I've experienced it. And for me,
- 22:49Speaker 4: it was shocking to feel because it's a feeling I've
- 22:52Speaker 4: never had in my body before. And I think maybe
- 22:54Speaker 4: guys might have raged sometimes in their lives. I don't know,
- 22:57Speaker 4: testosterone or whatnot.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Remember the last time you had a little ragey episode
- 23:04Speaker 2: and what triggered it.
- 23:05Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always when I'm solo parenting, so when Dan's around,
- 23:09Speaker 4: you can kind of share the load a little bit.
- 23:11Speaker 4: But if it's just me and I've got two kids
- 23:13Speaker 4: coming at me, and it's like two against one, and
- 23:16Speaker 4: they're just like coming and coming coming, something flicks like
- 23:19Speaker 4: a switch flicks, and I just see red and I'm
- 23:22Speaker 4: in this like red rage and nothing can get me
- 23:25Speaker 4: out of it. Nothing my kids can say can get
- 23:27Speaker 4: me out of this rage. And I'm now at a
- 23:29Speaker 4: point where I'm like, I know it's settled in, but
- 23:31Speaker 4: I have to remove myself from the kids so I
- 23:33Speaker 4: can just like get it out of my body. And
- 23:36Speaker 4: that involves on slamming doors, maybe punching a pillow or
- 23:44Speaker 4: like throwing something into the sink, like just getting like
- 23:47Speaker 4: some sort of like feeling out of my body.
- 23:49Speaker 2: It's like the rage rooms are those rooms I.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Have, and you might need to jump on the we
- 23:56Speaker 1: should go to a rage room.
- 23:57Speaker 2: I agree the parents write it down.
- 24:00Speaker 4: But then the thing is, as soon as it's out,
- 24:02Speaker 4: you're like shit, like that was really awful, and you're
- 24:05Speaker 4: filled with shame and you're like, fuck, I can't believe
- 24:07Speaker 4: it was like that in front of my kid. And
- 24:10Speaker 4: I think because it's a feeling we've never felt before
- 24:13Speaker 4: in our bodies, Yeah, we feel shamed, so we don't
- 24:15Speaker 4: talk about it. And so when I saw this article,
- 24:17Speaker 4: I was like, there's like thirty five percent of or
- 24:20Speaker 4: something of people who were getting this rage. And even
- 24:23Speaker 4: chatting to my friends, they're all the same, like we're
- 24:24Speaker 4: all feeling it, we're just not talking about it.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Right, I'm not surprised.
- 24:28Speaker 2: And when you talk about solo parenting being the trigger,
- 24:31Speaker 2: because yesterday morning is a morning that Laura is out
- 24:34Speaker 2: the door at six thirty, so I'm doing the kids
- 24:36Speaker 2: by myself, and it was a morning where just every
- 24:39Speaker 2: step of the process, like you got to eat your breakfast.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Every mouthful was me like begging for my kids to eat.
- 24:45Speaker 2: And then I'd turn around look back and they were
- 24:47Speaker 2: in like an arts and crafts box and with glue,
- 24:49Speaker 2: and I was like, what the fuck are you doing?
- 24:52Speaker 2: And then brushing the teeth putting your shirt on and
- 24:54Speaker 2: I was like, come on, you've got to put your
- 24:56Speaker 2: shirt on. And I thought to myself, like, you got
- 24:58Speaker 2: this mount You're doing really well. And then finally when
- 25:01Speaker 2: I was saying put your helmets on for the bike
- 25:03Speaker 2: to ride to school, I turned around and Marley was
- 25:05Speaker 2: on the scooter going down the hill and I was like,
- 25:08Speaker 2: just flip the fuck out, grabbed her and I was like,
- 25:11Speaker 2: get on the bike and put your helmet on, and
- 25:14Speaker 2: you just you snap, which you feel like a really
- 25:18Speaker 2: shit parent on.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Once you come down out of that anger, you're like, ah, fuck, yeah,
- 25:23Speaker 1: it's a shit feeling for sure.
- 25:26Speaker 2: What makes me feel less shit is I know that
- 25:29Speaker 2: I kind of assume that every parent is doing the
- 25:31Speaker 2: same thing.
- 25:32Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you a story. Call on. Okay,
- 25:35Speaker 1: it's not me. There's my soft, gentle kind wife, ah, April.
- 25:39Speaker 1: To be fair, I have been with April for fifteen years.
- 25:43Speaker 1: I think she has yelled at me once. Wow, Like
- 25:46Speaker 1: she's not a yeller. Is that because you're so perfect? Yes,
- 25:50Speaker 1: because April is so patient.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Yes, combination of you are a great guy.
- 25:54Speaker 1: But thank you, thank you. You don't know me. Behind
- 25:56Speaker 1: closed doors, I'm the well loo. She's quite reserved. She
- 26:01Speaker 1: usually leaves the rage to me. You know, I'll do
- 26:06Speaker 1: the same thing as Vicker. I'll just slam a door
- 26:08Speaker 1: or something to make me feel better, even though it's
- 26:13Speaker 1: probably not a good look, if that makes sense, because
- 26:15Speaker 1: in the moment you're like it, and then you're like,
- 26:18Speaker 1: oh fuck, I probably shouldn't have ripped the door of
- 26:20Speaker 1: its hinges at home. That was probably a bad option.
- 26:23Speaker 1: But I recall one morning, April is an early riser.
- 26:26Speaker 1: She goes to the gym, good on her, and then
- 26:28Speaker 1: she's back as the kids are sort of getting up,
- 26:31Speaker 1: depending on when what time they get up. This particular morning,
- 26:34Speaker 1: they were up pretty early. I think we were all
- 26:36Speaker 1: up pretty early. I think like April left and we
- 26:38Speaker 1: just we're still dark or something, but we're up having breakfast.
- 26:41Speaker 1: But the kids were just one of those days like
- 26:43Speaker 1: that where everything was a nightmare. They were teasing each other,
- 26:48Speaker 1: and April comes home from the gym full of dolphins,
- 26:50Speaker 1: which is great, which is what you want. You don't
- 26:53Speaker 1: want to walk into your husband just at his wits
- 26:57Speaker 1: end at six o'clock in the morning. No one wants this, okay,
- 27:00Speaker 1: And I do feel sorry for my neighbors because they
- 27:02Speaker 1: would have heard me have a fucking episode at that time.
- 27:05Speaker 1: They've got older kids, so they get it. And then
- 27:08Speaker 1: April just must have flicked a switch. And she's first thing,
- 27:13Speaker 1: first things first. She was like, I think she realized
- 27:16Speaker 1: how angry she was going to be and was like,
- 27:18Speaker 1: to the kids, go to your room and go on.
- 27:23Speaker 1: We've got this cane coffee table. Yeah, okay, it's never
- 27:26Speaker 1: good when you start with the story with furniture and.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Like breaking down the materials. Yeah, it's made out of caine.
- 27:33Speaker 1: It's not overly heavy, but it's not that light. She's
- 27:35Speaker 1: picked it up and she's thrown it into the ceiling fan,
- 27:39Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm in the kitchen. I was like,
- 27:40Speaker 1: I didn't do enough shoulders at the gym. She's just like,
- 27:42Speaker 1: I think she didn't realize how her own str and anyway,
- 27:49Speaker 1: that's fuck the ceiling fan. That's the first thing. And
- 27:52Speaker 1: then she's walked into the bedroom fits of rage, and
- 27:56Speaker 1: I think she tried to kick a pillow, but she's
- 27:59Speaker 1: so clumsy that she's kicked the wall and her foot's
- 28:02Speaker 1: gone through the jip rock wall. Obviously I'm not saying this,
- 28:08Speaker 1: and you're like, do I step it until no, no, no,
- 28:11Speaker 1: I'm like one foot out the door here. I'm like,
- 28:14Speaker 1: I'm getting out of here before on neck? Will the
- 28:16Speaker 1: apartment still be there when I come back? And I
- 28:18Speaker 1: was like, after the foot was stuck in the wall,
- 28:22Speaker 1: help me, and then the shoe got stuck because the
- 28:24Speaker 1: shoe foot came out of the shoe. I think at
- 28:27Speaker 1: that point she realized, hang on a minute, I've gone
- 28:30Speaker 1: a bit too far, and I was like, I don't
- 28:32Speaker 1: think you're going far enough. I was looking around for
- 28:34Speaker 1: things that like the kids loved that I hated, so
- 28:39Speaker 1: get out there.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Look sickonds like dog and of those fans like table's defense.
- 28:46Speaker 1: She snapped out of it really quick and realized and
- 28:49Speaker 1: was like, oh fuck. Like the kids came out of
- 28:52Speaker 1: the bedroom and you can imagine how fascinated they were
- 28:56Speaker 1: that the bloody ceiling vans spinning around with a coffee
- 28:58Speaker 1: table stuck to it. The came came amazing, how to
- 29:03Speaker 1: real attachment to that coffee tabo. April in the jip
- 29:06Speaker 1: rock still amazing, was like, that's where I eat my berry.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And then they look over into our bedroom and there's
- 29:15Speaker 1: a hole in the wall with a shoe sticking out
- 29:18Speaker 1: of it, and the kids were so fascinated with that,
- 29:21Speaker 1: and April was you could see that she was ashamed
- 29:24Speaker 1: of what was, which I think, like, sometimes you've got
- 29:27Speaker 1: to express your feeling somehow. If that's how it felt,
- 29:29Speaker 1: if it felt right in the moment, I'm fine with it.
- 29:31Speaker 1: And I just said I'm fine, I'll fix it. No,
- 29:34Speaker 1: I said, I'm not adding any fuel to this fire.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I said, I don't worry about it's easy fix. It's
- 29:39Speaker 1: an easy fix for a guy like me. Now, we
- 29:44Speaker 1: joke about it a lot. Obviously, I can tell this
- 29:46Speaker 1: story because we joke about it. No one on a
- 29:48Speaker 1: soccer field. No, because she missed the pillow. The thing
- 29:53Speaker 1: is like trying to explain that. I think my parents
- 29:55Speaker 1: came over like the day after and then I live
- 29:58Speaker 1: in the area. They came up. Yeah, I was like,
- 30:01Speaker 1: look up, and then they walked in Mum walks into
- 30:04Speaker 1: my room and Mum, I think Mum was the first one.
- 30:08Speaker 1: She was like, what happened to the wall? And I
- 30:10Speaker 1: was like, I'm not going to stay high to the
- 30:12Speaker 1: kids or anything high to me. You just straight in
- 30:14Speaker 1: what happened to the wall? And I was like, oh,
- 30:16Speaker 1: April accidentally kicked the wall and Mom was like yeah.
- 30:19Speaker 1: I was like, nah, she put the shit out of it.
- 30:23Speaker 1: So the mud rage is real, and I look, honestly,
- 30:25Speaker 1: let it out. Don't be ashamed of it, because I'm
- 30:27Speaker 1: fucking doing it. The dad crash out is such a
- 30:30Speaker 1: joke online, but I think like that's how we've overcome
- 30:33Speaker 1: like the stigma of it. We've made fun of it.
- 30:36Speaker 1: So I'm like now April, Like anytime April gets a
- 30:38Speaker 1: little bit angry, I'm like, I put the coffee table
- 30:43Speaker 1: in the other room. She gets if I can see
- 30:45Speaker 1: she's getting upset with something and she gets over stimulated.
- 30:47Speaker 1: The valuables, Yeah, move the vases. I'm like, I'm like
- 30:53Speaker 1: this coffee table out of the way. I just leave
- 30:55Speaker 1: things I know she can't pick up, but she's getting stronger. Okay,
- 30:59Speaker 1: run it out of feat to get out of the room.
- 31:01Speaker 1: There's nothing like no white goods. White the fridge is
- 31:05Speaker 1: flying across room anyway.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe it's the fact that men with testosterone
- 31:12Speaker 2: it's not uncommon for them to lose their temper in comparison.
- 31:17Speaker 2: But also men talking about getting angry at the kids.
- 31:20Speaker 2: And I'm not saying it's a great thing to do,
- 31:22Speaker 2: because you know, it'd be a better world if none
- 31:24Speaker 2: of us ever got angry, but just the way things
- 31:27Speaker 2: are with the stress of life and the kids, when
- 31:28Speaker 2: you're on your own, like it's bound to happen. But
- 31:30Speaker 2: maybe men are not as ashamed of talking about it
- 31:33Speaker 2: like women are.
- 31:34Speaker 1: I think it's completely healthy to express all of your emotion,
- 31:38Speaker 1: and that includes the ones that we think are bad.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Anger is not bad. It's depending on where it's directed.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Am I yes, kick going, yes, yes, yes, my philosophy.
- 31:47Speaker 1: I love it, like everything so aroused, get angry. Where
- 31:50Speaker 1: are the classes put the glasses on? They're in my bag,
- 31:53Speaker 1: damn it, they're broken, broken, Sorry, April, I know No.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Like I said, I think it's very healthy to crash
- 32:05Speaker 1: out if it makes you feel better. I think it's
- 32:06Speaker 1: just where the anger is directed. And that actually leads
- 32:09Speaker 1: me to a question for you to think about and
- 32:11Speaker 1: the listener to think about. What is your parenting crash
- 32:14Speaker 1: out phrase? Everyone's got one. April's is a real simple one,
- 32:17Speaker 1: which I think a lot of mums have because they
- 32:19Speaker 1: think it just rolls off nicely. It's usually done with
- 32:22Speaker 1: the mouth open but the teeth shut. Go on, Fu sake?
- 32:25Speaker 2: Ah, that's mine.
- 32:27Speaker 1: That's just what is it about? Fuck's sake?
- 32:29Speaker 2: It's been passed down from generation to generation.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Told you about the Fiji story with the pool noodle
- 32:34Speaker 1: those who are new. My son was quite young, I
- 32:36Speaker 1: think it was two. He picks up this pool noodle
- 32:39Speaker 1: from at the kids pool at this all inclusive resort
- 32:41Speaker 1: in Fiji, picks it up, puts it onto the side
- 32:44Speaker 1: of the pool like a horn if you will, and
- 32:47Speaker 1: he screams into it fuck sake and all everyone went
- 32:51Speaker 1: what and the way he said it. I just looked
- 32:53Speaker 1: at April and I was like, that's you, that's you
- 32:55Speaker 1: in the car. What's your crash out word? I've got
- 32:58Speaker 1: a few run between.
- 33:01Speaker 2: Like a smaller sport today on Tuesday, I feel like.
- 33:05Speaker 1: A classic for me. If you hear it from me,
- 33:07Speaker 1: it's a crashout. It's like, oh, your fucking cockhead, like
- 33:10Speaker 1: something like yourself. Yeah, just whoever will listen like a
- 33:15Speaker 1: self reflected was like nothing. I think I think this
- 33:21Speaker 1: is a longer.
- 33:22Speaker 2: I think that's housekeeping.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Do you just go to a segment?
- 33:24Speaker 2: Before we go on a segments? I need to apologize
- 33:27Speaker 2: to my wife for which time at the moment, there's
- 33:31Speaker 2: one thing that I'm doing badly at the moment. And
- 33:34Speaker 2: we know that Poppy five months, she's now pretty much
- 33:39Speaker 2: off the boob entirely. She'll have like a couple of
- 33:42Speaker 2: boobs throughout the week, and they're always when it happens
- 33:46Speaker 2: like that, maybe the last one she's on the bottle,
- 33:49Speaker 2: which is great because it means that I'm far more
- 33:52Speaker 2: helpful I should be. But I'm being a bad partner.
- 34:00Speaker 2: I am okay, guy, I can own up. I can
- 34:03Speaker 2: admit that right now I'm not pulling my weight.
- 34:06Speaker 1: And it's not my fault though, Okay, go on.
- 34:09Speaker 2: I'm a very heavy sleeper. I know I'm a very
- 34:14Speaker 2: heavy sleeper. I can sleep through anything. And also I'm
- 34:18Speaker 2: pretty good at getting back to sleep. And at the moment,
- 34:22Speaker 2: and this is behavior that I'm not aware of, I'm
- 34:25Speaker 2: just being told by my wife. So poppy at the
- 34:27Speaker 2: moment's working up between like three to five times in
- 34:30Speaker 2: the night a lot. Yeah, regressions, and remember the fridge
- 34:34Speaker 2: and the dishwasher, bro' good things.
- 34:36Speaker 1: She drinks warm milk.
- 34:39Speaker 2: I would say, so Laura will go hey, Matt, I
- 34:43Speaker 2: need a bottle, and I go, yeah, back asleep.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Oh, this reminds me of when you stole my pillow.
- 34:51Speaker 1: And I was like, give we're back and you're already.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Asleep, and I go yeah, and then she waits and
- 34:58Speaker 2: she goes, hey, Matt, yeah, she.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Goes, you gotta get the bottle.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, basleep, Oh God, instantly, and then four
- 35:07Speaker 2: times later she's like shaking me.
- 35:09Speaker 1: She's like, get the bottle.
- 35:09Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa Okay, okay.
- 35:13Speaker 2: And then the other night I got up, I stood
- 35:16Speaker 2: over her and she's there and then we have a
- 35:20Speaker 2: little a little like white noise machine which has a light.
- 35:24Speaker 2: She was reaching out to give me the bottle and
- 35:26Speaker 2: I just stood there and I fell back asleep standing up,
- 35:33Speaker 2: and she's like grabbed the bottle and I was like
- 35:36Speaker 2: and She's like, grab the fucking bottle. And I was like,
- 35:40Speaker 2: don't have to swear at me, and she's like, fucking hell.
- 35:45Speaker 1: You know, it's a good sleep when you don't know
- 35:47Speaker 1: where you are or what you're doing.
- 35:48Speaker 2: It's only when I'm there at the scenek pouring the water,
- 35:51Speaker 2: and then I'm like, where.
- 35:52Speaker 1: Am i the boiling hot water?
- 35:55Speaker 2: What's happened? And my wife, poor Laura, is having to
- 35:59Speaker 2: deal with that multiple times. She's got to the point
- 36:02Speaker 2: where she makes the bottle herself.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Now, oh man, it's the most confusing time.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to understand.
- 36:12Speaker 1: Were you ever a sleepwalker?
- 36:14Speaker 2: No, but I sleep talk quite a lot.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but my my dad was a sleepwalker,
- 36:20Speaker 1: real bad, like used to walk to the train station.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Granted this is my grandmother
- 36:26Speaker 1: telling this the stories little ebellishment, yeah, male on top. Yeah,
- 36:30Speaker 1: but like I have woken up in the middle of
- 36:32Speaker 1: the night with Able telling me to do something like
- 36:34Speaker 1: take the dog out or whatever, and I'm like, what
- 36:35Speaker 1: are you? What do you want about? Woman? What are
- 36:39Speaker 1: you talking about? We don't have a dog. We do,
- 36:45Speaker 1: But like it's for some reason, your brain just hasn't
- 36:47Speaker 1: woken up yet, but everything else has.
- 36:49Speaker 2: It's trying.
- 36:50Speaker 1: I used to have a friend that used to pull
- 36:51Speaker 1: the refrigerator out and getting behind it when they're sleep.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like, Josh, that is ridiculous.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Isn't it? Just that's that's Maybe you can train yourself
- 37:02Speaker 1: to sleep, get milk, and then you won't have to
- 37:04Speaker 1: hear any of it.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Just like lying down in bed, bro the blanket, nice
- 37:10Speaker 2: and cozy.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Usualep with your elbows out too. I can attack you.
- 37:15Speaker 2: I'm a belly sleeper.
- 37:16Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, what happens when you get an erection? I
- 37:19Speaker 1: love it. It's not that big. Go on, man, there's
- 37:23Speaker 1: a strong muscle.
- 37:25Speaker 2: Can I just snake in real quick? Can I do
- 37:27Speaker 2: you mind?
- 37:28Speaker 1: No? I would never mind.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
- 37:31Speaker 1: That's what we have time for.
- 37:33Speaker 2: That joke is so old, so old.
- 37:35Speaker 1: I was never going to do it a vig before.
- 37:37Speaker 1: When she got on the mic, I was like, anyway,
- 37:38Speaker 1: that's cool, so but I knew how much it meant
- 37:42Speaker 1: to you first. She's met with that behavior next time.
- 37:51Speaker 2: This is from Emma, who was sent in an ick.
- 37:53Speaker 2: I know you love your I love getting your just quietly.
- 37:56Speaker 2: If you want to see ashes feet, go to his Instagram.
- 37:58Speaker 2: He didn't about getting sandy feet in the car.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Clapping them together.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Yeah, just the people gagging over your me. What the
- 38:05Speaker 2: fuck is wrong with the ms to knock that?
- 38:08Speaker 4: You know.
- 38:08Speaker 2: I just think if you like feet that's fine.
- 38:10Speaker 1: I've never had so much engagement. I might have to
- 38:13Speaker 1: start foot Finder. I'm just leaving money on the table
- 38:15Speaker 1: by not doing it. It could really push this podcast along.
- 38:19Speaker 1: I think, do it.
- 38:19Speaker 2: I think do it. But from Emma, she says, my
- 38:22Speaker 2: ick is when my husband says any childlike language to me,
- 38:26Speaker 2: not our kids. For example, I have a sort tummy recently,
- 38:30Speaker 2: Oh look at that cute little bunny rabbit. Yeah, I
- 38:35Speaker 2: think that's adorable.
- 38:36Speaker 1: No, I do it when the kids there, you're like, oh,
- 38:39Speaker 1: give mummy a cut. You always use it in like
- 38:41Speaker 1: what the second person they call it out, And then
- 38:44Speaker 1: when I use it when they're not there, She's like,
- 38:46Speaker 1: it depends on the tone. I think.
- 38:49Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, mummy, you don't talk to the kids
- 38:52Speaker 2: like that, yes, but if you're like, oh my god, yeah.
- 38:57Speaker 1: Or Tom tom is I think if you add the
- 39:03Speaker 1: little baby talk to it, it's like, yeah, like it's
- 39:07Speaker 1: a bit of a but if you have a nick,
- 39:08Speaker 1: please share it with us. Also, talking like that to
- 39:11Speaker 1: your kids in public. I know I the cringe button.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Shut up.
- 39:16Speaker 1: You can shut it down. Ash.
- 39:20Speaker 2: We have the new jingle.
- 39:23Speaker 1: Yeah, this is week two. I've been told of the
- 39:25Speaker 1: new jingle. Let's let's do it. Let's play it. Okay,
- 39:29Speaker 1: Now you need us more than ever. Know that we
- 39:32Speaker 1: still have each other. You can say sure, donting dilemma.
- 39:37Speaker 1: You can't dilemma, Ella and Ash.
- 39:43Speaker 2: This is from L L Ellie, but L just e
- 39:48Speaker 2: L e E double l E, so you can spell
- 39:50Speaker 2: it the same way forwards or backwards for those.
- 39:53Speaker 1: Are very clever, like Bob.
- 39:55Speaker 2: Like Bob.
- 39:55Speaker 1: There you go.
- 39:56Speaker 2: She says, Hey, guys, I'm a new listener and absolutely
- 39:58Speaker 2: love the podcast. Leave that as a bloody review, L
- 40:00Speaker 2: would you?
- 40:01Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 40:01Speaker 2: Maybe maybe one of the thirty eight who joined the
- 40:04Speaker 2: Facebook page after the Dishwasher episode. Maybe that was the
- 40:07Speaker 2: great influx of followers. Remember we had thirty eight followers
- 40:10Speaker 2: in it in like an hour.
- 40:11Speaker 1: I was just people who love LG. Maybe it's anyways.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Just wanted to ask a question which may be a
- 40:16Speaker 2: topic of interest for the pod. She says, what is
- 40:20Speaker 2: the general rule for leaving your kids in the car
- 40:22Speaker 2: when you have to pay for fuel? Is it okay,
- 40:25Speaker 2: to just quickly run in and out to pay, or
- 40:27Speaker 2: would you have to take.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Your child with you. There's a few factors here factor away. Okay,
- 40:34Speaker 1: So first of all, you have to factor in climate.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously it's if it's a raging hot summer's.
- 40:39Speaker 1: Down where you lock that car and put the windows
- 40:40Speaker 1: up and leave them in there. No, that's bad parenting. Wow,
- 40:45Speaker 1: that's newsworthy parenting that one. Yes, So climate. Also how
- 40:50Speaker 1: far away the pump is from where you pay, because
- 40:54Speaker 1: if you go to one of those truckstop ones, like
- 40:56Speaker 1: if you're on a freeway, you're essentially putting your hits
- 41:00Speaker 1: at risk because you're further away and there's truckers.
- 41:02Speaker 2: There, and the truckers are the ones you gotta watch
- 41:04Speaker 2: out for. They are not not the truckers, but you know,
- 41:06Speaker 2: the highway people as I call them.
- 41:08Speaker 1: We're gonna upset someone with this one.
- 41:10Speaker 2: I love the truckers.
- 41:11Speaker 1: They keeping this nation going, keep they keep using that.
- 41:14Speaker 1: But that one, but it's the I don't believe it.
- 41:17Speaker 1: It's the rule the people in rural areas. Let's not
- 41:20Speaker 1: start with the ruler. I know.
- 41:21Speaker 2: But the big highway ones like the one on the
- 41:24Speaker 2: way down to Canberra where you parked like five hundred
- 41:27Speaker 2: meters away from Yeah, and you can't keep the line
- 41:30Speaker 2: of sight to the car.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Well said said. I think depends on also how small
- 41:34Speaker 1: or big the child is. If it's a teenager, they're fine,
- 41:37Speaker 1: but oscar for some reason he has to come in
- 41:41Speaker 1: has to good question. I always go to a petrol
- 41:44Speaker 1: station that's literally a ten step and he's looking at
- 41:48Speaker 1: me the whole time, and I'm like paying. They must
- 41:50Speaker 1: think I'm fucking crazy because I'm.
- 41:52Speaker 2: Like the truckers will get me.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I said to him, what what brought this on?
- 41:59Speaker 1: Trying to get to the room. Yes, and he was like,
- 42:01Speaker 1: what time some teenagers walked past me? Did they? I
- 42:06Speaker 1: was like, and what? Nothing? Just walk past like free
- 42:10Speaker 1: country broke people can more push you like it's nothing's
- 42:12Speaker 1: gonna happen. And I keep telling you and I'm like,
- 42:15Speaker 1: you understand that you are the most important thing I own.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Nothing's going to come between Like I'll get between whatever
- 42:21Speaker 1: you and whatever it is. But he's just got it
- 42:23Speaker 1: so hell that someone's going to take him. Yeah, And
- 42:26Speaker 1: I'm like, no one wants to take a kid because
- 42:28Speaker 1: you cost more money if anything, yeah, well said, and
- 42:32Speaker 1: like no one wants to take on extra burdens or responsibilities.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I have a solution for the problem though. I never
- 42:39Speaker 2: fill up the car with the kids.
- 42:41Speaker 1: I try and avoid that as much as possible.
- 42:43Speaker 2: I reckon, it's just like the rigmarole. So worth it
- 42:47Speaker 2: of trying to get the kids out of the car
- 42:48Speaker 2: and then they're in there, and that front counter at
- 42:52Speaker 2: the petrol station, it's just like.
- 42:54Speaker 1: The salesman's dream. It's like point of sale. That's where
- 42:57Speaker 1: you want to be.
- 42:58Speaker 2: It's just this skittles, that's chocolate, the kind of surprises.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Yes, I tried to bribe him to stay in the car.
- 43:04Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll get you something. If you stay here,
- 43:06Speaker 1: you could get taken. It's worth there is. Yeah, is
- 43:10Speaker 1: there a law, Surely there's a law.
- 43:12Speaker 2: I'm sure there is. I think it's fine. I think
- 43:15Speaker 2: it's fine provided it's a cool day.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and also as well, I would just if the
- 43:19Speaker 1: surroundings are a bit sketchy, leave him in there, then
- 43:23Speaker 1: you take them. Well said, I'll say that, Matt. We
- 43:26Speaker 1: did a little dilemma the other week about movies in
- 43:30Speaker 1: the childhood that left you traumatiz and the response has
- 43:33Speaker 1: been our overwhelmed.
- 43:34Speaker 2: People were like, you forgot about this movie, and I
- 43:37Speaker 2: was like, whoa relaxed Steve Matt.
- 43:39Speaker 1: These are some of the movies that traumatized our listeners
- 43:42Speaker 1: as children. Et the couple of moments in there when
- 43:47Speaker 1: he's being tested, when he's sick, yes he's sick, nwell,
- 43:54Speaker 1: and also when he when he goes home, Yeah, sad.
- 43:57Speaker 1: There's sort of things that you just like, you just
- 44:00Speaker 1: remember forever sadness.
- 44:02Speaker 2: I remember my brother, my older brother, weeping behind the
- 44:05Speaker 2: couch for that movie. And I was probably a little
- 44:09Speaker 2: too young to really understand like the significance of that
- 44:12Speaker 2: farewell when he's going back in the UFO back to
- 44:14Speaker 2: his homeland, but I remember I was like, wow, that's
- 44:16Speaker 2: the movie that.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Broke my brother.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Never ending story. I actually haven't seen this one, but
- 44:22Speaker 2: it is. It is. It's an amazing, beautiful tale. However,
- 44:27Speaker 2: there is some very traumatic scenes, and they're particularly one
- 44:31Speaker 2: where a horse is stuck in like quicksand or mud
- 44:34Speaker 2: and this beautiful white stallion unfortunately dies.
- 44:38Speaker 1: And he can't save it. It's a lot, there's a
- 44:41Speaker 1: lot of death in these movies.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Look, it's yeah, it's I mean, we shouldn't shy away
- 44:45Speaker 2: from the realities of life.
- 44:46Speaker 1: But it's a cartoon.
- 44:48Speaker 2: But I know when you're five years old, you probably
- 44:50Speaker 2: wait a couple more years, I know.
- 44:52Speaker 1: And that like I think like back then they didn't
- 44:55Speaker 1: hide it, like they were like kill them and it's like, well,
- 44:59Speaker 1: hang on a minute, Yeah, not for me. One that
- 45:02Speaker 1: came up a lot Matilda, mainly because of one particular character,
- 45:07Speaker 1: which is.
- 45:09Speaker 2: Miss Trunschball.
- 45:10Speaker 1: There's a few things. Swinging of the hair, very strong.
- 45:13Speaker 1: I would say that's not allowed. She is very strong.
- 45:16Speaker 2: That little girl with the piggy tails getting like flung
- 45:19Speaker 2: over the in the playground of the school.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Yeah. What was the thing she had with nails? And
- 45:23Speaker 1: it again the choky? She's really letting her outside hobbies
- 45:27Speaker 1: roll into her work. It was. Was she really into BDSM?
- 45:30Speaker 1: This girl was? It was horrific.
- 45:32Speaker 2: This a little room that was like full of nails
- 45:35Speaker 2: and you put the kids in there.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Oh my god, nails.
- 45:38Speaker 2: And I watched that before I went to school. I
- 45:41Speaker 2: was like, is there gonna be Miss Trunstable?
- 45:42Speaker 1: Will there be a little choky?
- 45:44Speaker 2: Will I see a child get flung over the school
- 45:46Speaker 2: fence by a hair?
- 45:47Speaker 1: Was it was directing. The aim was to get children
- 45:50Speaker 1: to like think that, Okay, well we've got to be
