- 2:55Speaker 3: to convince her that I was not in an appropriate
- 2:59Speaker 3: fashion to come out of the bathroom. Hadn't even snapped
- 3:04Speaker 3: off yet. I was going for a bit of cable.
- 3:06Speaker 3: So she she ran out without didn't take the bins.

- 4:16Speaker 2: law's house.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Absolutely coming in hot, Frank, there's a few nappies in there.

- 4:22Speaker 1: One of the worst times to forget to put the
- 4:23Speaker 1: bins out was around Christmas.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Oh that's the word, especially when this prawns and the
- 4:28Speaker 3: prawns and I had the prawns went back inside the freezer,
- 4:31Speaker 3: but then the other I had it in my garage.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I just had like this mountain of bins and then
- 4:36Speaker 1: maggots come real quick.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Where did they come? They just spawn?
- 4:40Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, how do they even? All the
- 4:42Speaker 1: bags are tied up, and next thing, I got maggots everywhere.
- 4:47Speaker 1: But here's a question for you. Go okay, Runda, next door. Yep,
- 4:51Speaker 1: she's eighty odd. She's probably listening right now.
- 4:55Speaker 2: She has incredible hearing for an eighty year old.
- 4:57Speaker 1: She's definitely like, got her ear to the brick wall
- 5:01Speaker 1: right now, to Bungey house. I put her bins out.
- 5:04Speaker 1: You are such a good guy, such a good guy.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Only ever puts the red bin out, maybe like once
- 5:08Speaker 1: a month because she lives by herself. Would she put
- 5:11Speaker 1: when the recycling bins out? Is it okay?
- 5:14Speaker 2: Yes?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Right? Do you think I was gonna like? Last night

- 5:22Speaker 1: I was like, can I just use her bin and
- 5:23Speaker 1: put I've already put her red bin out? Can I
- 5:26Speaker 1: put her blue bin out?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:28Speaker 3: Ignorance is blissed, as they say, so I would just
- 5:30Speaker 3: assume that it's light because cardboard's light, and then just
- 5:33Speaker 3: don't even look in there. Just take it out and
- 5:35Speaker 3: then fill it up with your shit was down there.
- 5:37Speaker 3: It feels so illegal. People talked talked about this a
- 5:41Speaker 3: lot because I got caught. Remember, if you want, you
- 5:45Speaker 3: could have brought some of your I don't have to
- 5:47Speaker 3: drive away here with the fucking garbage in the garbage.
- 5:49Speaker 1: No, I know you never would.

- 5:53Speaker 3: burn the house down. Fuck it, it's all over hour
- 5:56Speaker 3: For the next week, it's going to be carne Jamaica.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Do we need to flag that with April? She would
- 5:59Speaker 3: just do it, Just do it. It's just going to
- 6:01Speaker 3: attract rats and all sorts of wildlife.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Also, we have possums.
- 6:05Speaker 3: That scamper across the roof at night. They seem to
- 6:08Speaker 3: be getting heavier. I don't know if someone's.

- 6:44Speaker 1: But you know what's going to happen. You'll be there

- 7:06Speaker 2: It's got to be nice. It is going to be nice.
- 7:08Speaker 1: May I ask you a question, Ash, Yes, I'm not
- 7:11Speaker 1: sure if you've seen the news recently in France? France,
- 7:16Speaker 1: do you know what they're saying?
- 7:17Speaker 2: I don't speak French. I have no idea what they're
- 7:19Speaker 2: saying over there. Okay, that was pretty good.
- 7:22Speaker 1: So I missed it, missed it again.
- 7:24Speaker 2: I'm sorry again, No, I don't want it.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Then it feels fast.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I looked at the headline.
- 7:30Speaker 4: The listeners are going, that was good.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Gear. You said, do you know what they're saying in France?
- 7:34Speaker 2: And what do you say?
- 7:35Speaker 3: And I said, I don't speak French, so I don't know.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Jess is cacking.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and also a nod to jest not being
- 7:44Speaker 1: here on holidays. That's nice, is very nice. You're having
- 7:47Speaker 1: a great time with her mother, So Ash this headline.
- 7:51Speaker 1: It says adult only hotels risk being banned in popular
- 7:56Speaker 1: European country France because they're a threat to society.
- 8:02Speaker 2: A threat.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Okay, hang on a minute. I think the word threat's
- 8:06Speaker 3: been thrown around a little bit too loosely. It's not
- 8:09Speaker 3: a threat threatening.
- 8:11Speaker 1: The terrorists are like, hey, I've taking our title hat.
- 8:15Speaker 2: You know what it's like. It's not how they need
- 8:20Speaker 2: to learn what threat actually means. Can I give you
- 8:22Speaker 2: a bit.
- 8:23Speaker 1: More context you can go. Okay. So adult only hotels,
- 8:26Speaker 1: campsites and restaurants could be banned in France as part
- 8:29Speaker 1: of a planned government cracked down.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Sarah L.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Harry, France's High Commissioner for Childhood, has said that the
- 8:40Speaker 1: country's no kids trend has caused violence violence against children,
- 8:48Speaker 1: reports The Times. The commissioner said that people who complain
- 8:52Speaker 1: about children being noisy are spreading the idea that the
- 8:55Speaker 1: children are a nuisance.
- 8:57Speaker 2: They're right, gifts. What do you mean spreading a rumor?
- 9:02Speaker 2: I want a petition to petition against that. I think,
- 9:06Speaker 2: how is that? Okay?
- 9:08Speaker 3: There's bigger problems, is there?
- 9:10Speaker 4: Okay?
- 9:10Speaker 1: Do you think it's a problem. There's growing intolerance to kids.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I feel like we're pretty good.
- 9:18Speaker 3: If you don't like kids, that's so what Like, that's
- 9:21Speaker 3: why does the government need to step in and be
- 9:23Speaker 3: like you must love kids?
- 9:26Speaker 2: Kids are going to be at your hotels? Is it here?
- 9:28Speaker 1: Like you check in and there's like a baby waiting
- 9:30Speaker 1: there and you're.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Like, what the hell love it? It's like sitting there,
- 9:33Speaker 2: it's like pat it.
- 9:33Speaker 4: You're not allowed in it.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Maybe maybe children are being like you know, on a
- 9:38Speaker 1: plane being weaponized. Oh do you know what the terrorists
- 9:43Speaker 1: needs to do?
- 9:44Speaker 2: Scrap the bombs.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Just drop kids everywhere. They'll be like metal detectors. They
- 9:53Speaker 3: are like kid detectors.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Are you carry any kids? Don't come outside?
- 10:00Speaker 3: Children?
- 10:00Speaker 4: Everyone is one of those kid bombs.
- 10:04Speaker 1: I think. I think as someone who has two kids
- 10:08Speaker 1: soon a three, I think in absolutely welcome at only
- 10:12Speaker 1: hotels and restaurants.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Only adult hotels and restaurants.
- 10:16Speaker 3: People are fucking brave. Yeah, it's like that they are
- 10:19Speaker 3: a nuisance. What are we assuming that they are? It's
- 10:22Speaker 3: definitive they are in nuisance.
- 10:25Speaker 2: But it's like, let's not be naive here.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like I segregation from kids and non kid places.
- 10:33Speaker 3: I'm all four as a parent because it's like if
- 10:35Speaker 3: I'm going here with my kid and the kids are
- 10:38Speaker 3: allowed there, fine, that is fine.
- 10:40Speaker 2: But it's a nice little treat that I can go
- 10:42Speaker 2: somewhere in there.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Not Yeah, exactly, treat yourself as I say, imagine that.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Imagine that your holiday ruined.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Right, I did say to April when we were organizing
- 10:52Speaker 3: this trip. She said, look, I feel bad not taking
- 10:56Speaker 3: the kids. I said, Look, for the last two years,
- 10:59Speaker 3: let's say six weeks in total, I have dragged these
- 11:02Speaker 3: kids through Indonesia, and I've only enjoyed myself maybe ten
- 11:07Speaker 3: percent of that. Otherwise I'm carrying or I'm repeating myself
- 11:11Speaker 3: for kids in environments where it's like I feel like
- 11:15Speaker 3: I shouldn't have to do that. So this time they
- 11:17Speaker 3: can stay home. They'll have my parents to look after them,
- 11:21Speaker 3: they'll have her parents, they'll have their own little sleepover holidays.
- 11:24Speaker 3: They'll have a good time. Are you going for just
- 11:26Speaker 3: five nights? God? And I even said if I go,
- 11:31Speaker 3: if we are going without the kids, and if we
- 11:33Speaker 3: go somewhere and I see a kid, it's going to
- 11:35Speaker 3: ruin my holiday booth.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Just know that.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy your holiday, but what you're doing
- 11:43Speaker 1: your trip away is contributing to the downfall of society.
- 11:47Speaker 2: I'm threatening everything about human human life. It's on your shoulders.
- 11:51Speaker 2: I think there's more to worry about.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I agree, right than I agree, it's what do they say,
- 11:56Speaker 3: threatening our society?
- 11:57Speaker 2: Yeah, they're harsh words. Well, we're not a.
- 12:01Speaker 1: News podcast, but we will continue to follow the story.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Actually, where was that story published? TikTok?
- 12:08Speaker 1: Actually, well, originally The Times, but I'm reading it from
- 12:12Speaker 1: Sydney Morning Herald ASH, one of the country's finest news outlets.
- 12:18Speaker 2: I see. So wait, what dates.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Are you go on September?
- 12:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not saying the dates because just like you
- 12:23Speaker 3: did in the last couple of episodes where you nearly
- 12:26Speaker 3: ruined a wedding in Bali, you're not going to ruin
- 12:28Speaker 3: my holiday by having people bombard me.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Record a bonus episode with all this information. So what
- 12:35Speaker 1: you might miss, You might miss the birth of Yobby.

- 12:42Speaker 3: just now when you brought it up.
- 12:44Speaker 2: I might do.
- 12:44Speaker 3: We're gonna have to wait, Lord is gonna have to
- 12:46Speaker 3: hold it in cross your legs.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Well, I think she's going to be induced.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Let's were allowed to give that.
- 12:54Speaker 4: I don't know what I'm allowed to.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Tell you what I'm as I said that, I was like.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Oh, fuck, yeah, you're gonna get in trouble. Hey, something
- 12:59Speaker 3: you to just quickly bring up. You did ask me
- 13:01Speaker 3: about athletics. I wanted to ask you about have you
- 13:04Speaker 3: had a school disco yet?
- 13:05Speaker 1: We had a school fate. It's in Paddington. It wasn't
- 13:09Speaker 1: was it a drop and go situation. It was at

- 13:22Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. So it wasn't really like it
- 13:24Speaker 1: wasn't the main feature. So I would say long answer, sorry, No.
- 13:29Speaker 2: You took then on that.
- 13:31Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 13:32Speaker 3: I did give you an opt out of this though,
- 13:33Speaker 3: where I said it was a drop and go situation
- 13:35Speaker 3: like no, and then you continued and.
- 13:37Speaker 4: That was that was me getting you out of this.
- 13:40Speaker 3: Were invented in the early seventies when people did a
- 13:44Speaker 3: lot of this.
- 13:45Speaker 2: No you went to a disco, No I didn't go.
- 13:47Speaker 2: I did the drop off. But as you know, Oscar
- 13:51Speaker 2: goes to the same primary school. Who is Oscar six?
- 13:54Speaker 2: Who which I.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Went to at the same age, and this was his
- 13:59Speaker 3: first disco. And when I tell you this school has
- 14:02Speaker 3: not changed at all, I mean and it has not.
- 14:05Speaker 3: The only difference is now there's more fences around schools.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Have you noticed that? And when you were a kid,
- 14:11Speaker 2: I guess getting in is harder. I'll tell you what's
- 14:13Speaker 2: a threat that's umb.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's I mean it's like for like same
- 14:22Speaker 3: hall where they have the disco, all this sort of stuff,
- 14:25Speaker 3: and we did do the drop so we walk them down.
- 14:27Speaker 3: It was like a glow themed obviously glow sticks, glow
- 14:31Speaker 3: sticks everywhere, kids glowing pants were glowing. What a site,
- 14:36Speaker 3: what a sight? So went' do the drop off. A
- 14:41Speaker 3: lot of flashbacks coming back to me.
- 14:44Speaker 2: At this year. Have had a lot of flashbacks because of.
- 14:46Speaker 3: This situation of nostalgic, I know, very nostalgic, and look
- 14:51Speaker 3: disc goes back when I was a kid were a
- 14:54Speaker 3: combination of fun and traumatizing. Yeah, because you just to
- 14:59Speaker 3: dance with a girl, answer with the girl, like it's segregated.
- 15:03Speaker 3: There's a lot of hair spray involved because kids doing
- 15:05Speaker 3: mohawks and yeah, back in the day, like it was
- 15:08Speaker 3: like a mohawk or that you'd spray the hair coloring,
- 15:10Speaker 3: not that because your parents would let you die.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Went all out and that wasn't a thing back in
- 15:15Speaker 1: Brisbane when I was growing up.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Well you missed out, No you didn't, because there was
- 15:19Speaker 3: traumatizing at the same time because like I said, like
- 15:21Speaker 3: we were saying, you don't know whether to dance with
- 15:23Speaker 3: a girl. How do you dance with a girl?
- 15:25Speaker 1: You just grind.
- 15:33Speaker 2: And kids, that's how babies are made.
- 15:35Speaker 1: We only really had like like high school, Like there
- 15:40Speaker 1: was another school that was an all girls school and
- 15:42Speaker 1: they would have discos that other people would get invited to.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so my memory, but that's high school stuff.
- 15:49Speaker 2: I just grind oscar leaves.
- 15:54Speaker 1: You're like, he's like taking him with glow sticks and
- 15:57Speaker 1: you like, remember kid, anyone were coming up to you,
- 16:00Speaker 1: just grown and grab on and hold on for dear life.
- 16:04Speaker 3: But it reminded me of a simpler time Ash's childhood
- 16:08Speaker 3: where I attended a disco. I was a little bit
- 16:11Speaker 3: older than Oscow was a few years into my prime.
- 16:14Speaker 3: It might have been a year five or something like
- 16:15Speaker 3: that when it was like really getting to the point
- 16:18Speaker 3: end where it's kind of like you're like you know girls,
- 16:20Speaker 3: you're asking girls to the dance, that sort of stuff.
- 16:22Speaker 3: As cringe as it sounds right now, I can't even
- 16:25Speaker 3: think about this stuff without.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Like shivering, shivering, being like, oh, I'm the worst.
- 16:31Speaker 3: I asked this girl to the dance as a kid.
- 16:33Speaker 3: She said yes, which is great. I was like, yeah,
- 16:35Speaker 3: but she went.
- 16:36Speaker 1: To the same school with you. Yeah, so you can't
- 16:38Speaker 1: go as a date.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Yeah, beautiful together whatever that means at that age. But
- 16:44Speaker 3: it's actually where I shared. Is it a kiss? Not
- 16:48Speaker 3: first lip kiss? It was like cheek kiss? Oh you
- 16:51Speaker 3: started on the cheeks. Yeah, how old? How I'm trying
- 16:55Speaker 3: to remember. I think I was like ten or eleven. Yeah, nice,
- 16:57Speaker 3: I mean cool, just grind.

- 17:09Speaker 5: thing's unfold where your friends like egg you want you
- 17:12Speaker 5: got to do it?
- 17:12Speaker 2: You can do it.
- 17:13Speaker 3: You know you do it all those other kids that
- 17:14Speaker 3: have already done it, And it's like, I'm going to
- 17:16Speaker 3: do it.
- 17:16Speaker 1: What are the teachers doing when you're French kissing?
- 17:21Speaker 2: I wasn't friends kissing someone. It was like a little
- 17:23Speaker 2: I remember that you used to have to dance like.
- 17:25Speaker 3: It wasn't like you didn't know how to dance, so
- 17:28Speaker 3: you're just like that's how Yeah, there we go.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Actually here just grind. We're grinding. Just made me really
- 17:35Speaker 2: remember that moment.
- 17:36Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you know, and then it made
- 17:37Speaker 3: me think like, actually, side note.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Oh fuck, actually I've just had a well what is it?
- 17:44Speaker 4: What is it?

- 17:50Speaker 2: Elizabeth.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Damn.
- 17:53Speaker 3: The whole thing was very nostalgic and cringeing for me.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Quite frankly, I'm sick of it. So we were like
- 18:00Speaker 3: asking the boys because that all of his friends are
- 18:03Speaker 3: all boys, you know, the.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Boys, you know, and we were like, oh, you know what.

- 18:17Speaker 3: is there a boy talking about no, No, someone else
- 18:20Speaker 3: one of the other kids. I'm like, they're a bit
- 18:22Speaker 3: young like to be talking about girls.
- 18:24Speaker 4: And then afterwards Marley talks.
- 18:26Speaker 1: About there's one boy from daycare that she still talks
- 18:29Speaker 1: about marrying.
- 18:29Speaker 2: She's like, I'm having kids with them. Wow, yeah, grinding.
- 18:34Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's it's only.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Normal, only normal. Okay.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Cool Because then when they they just got finished and
- 18:41Speaker 3: I spoke chatting to ask about the disco and he
- 18:43Speaker 3: was like, they played some really good songs and every
- 18:46Speaker 3: time a song comes on and they played at the disco,
- 18:47Speaker 3: now's they play. And I was like, oh, what did
- 18:51Speaker 3: you what did you do? And you know, he was like, oh,
- 18:54Speaker 3: you know, we dance and stuff like that. And then
- 18:55Speaker 3: I was talking to one of the mums who was
- 18:57Speaker 3: a volunteer and like, like, what actually goes on in there?
- 19:00Speaker 2: Because it's in a b hall? Fill me in, fill
- 19:02Speaker 2: me in.
- 19:02Speaker 3: She's like, all I do is just a bunch of
- 19:03Speaker 3: kids running around Like it's like they're in a playground.
- 19:06Speaker 3: I'm like, what's disco about it? She's like, the music,
- 19:09Speaker 3: that's it. It's just a bunch of six year old
- 19:12Speaker 3: kids running around a hall to disco music.
- 19:16Speaker 1: I would pay good money to be in that mindset
- 19:20Speaker 1: where all you have to worry about is like not
- 19:22Speaker 1: pissing yourself.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that would just be like where's the ext
- 19:26Speaker 2: glosed coming from? Yeah?
- 19:27Speaker 1: That's it, just so naive to life's troubles.
- 19:30Speaker 2: It picked osk her up and I'm like, what's that

- 21:02Speaker 1: I gave it my fees and they say we can't
- 21:03Speaker 1: afford it, and I said, this.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Is a public school.
- 21:05Speaker 1: There's no helicopter ride. You can forget it.
- 21:09Speaker 3: I want to drive her to pick me up, take
- 21:11Speaker 3: me to the airport, so the school's down the road.

- 21:18Speaker 1: an inch'll take ye. April keeps like cand of throw
- 21:22Speaker 1: me under the bus a little bit.
- 21:23Speaker 2: I do I do just for one day.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Want to volunteer in the cafeteria, just to see what
- 21:27Speaker 1: it's like, just to experience that thrill.
- 21:35Speaker 2: What do you think happened? Do you think it's going
- 21:37Speaker 2: to be like the bear? I don't know.
- 21:38Speaker 1: The guy back there, guys something different.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Gordon Ramsay's back there's a new experience. What you can
- 21:43Speaker 2: always just go down there and ask, hey, can.
- 21:45Speaker 1: I just I will I just I'm busy, bro, I'm
- 21:47Speaker 1: busy to do it. I'll do it on Fridays. You
- 21:52Speaker 1: obviously know this. You know that I'm having a baby. Sorry,
- 21:56Speaker 1: Laura's having a baby.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Yeah, And.
- 22:00Speaker 1: It is such a big difference when you're expecting your
- 22:03Speaker 1: third child compared to number one and number two. So
- 22:06Speaker 1: I think for your first yeah, a, you're completely ignorant.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you got no idea how I've had a
- 22:15Speaker 1: dog before. Yeah, exactly, very different. And you're like, this
- 22:18Speaker 1: is going to be beautiful, It's going to change my life,
- 22:20Speaker 1: which like.
- 22:20Speaker 2: It is, and it does.
- 22:22Speaker 1: It's like it is, but you're totally ignorant to just
- 22:27Speaker 1: how hard.
- 22:28Speaker 2: It could be. You find yet fine, you pretty much
- 22:30Speaker 2: find that. You just like once you have it, you're
- 22:32Speaker 2: learning on the job.
- 22:33Speaker 1: And you're like me and my partner, you know, well,
- 22:35Speaker 1: will never argue, we'll get along. Bullshit wrong, Yeah, you
- 22:38Speaker 1: will hate each other. There's so much you are wrong
- 22:41Speaker 1: about before having your first kid. Put that on T shirt.
- 22:44Speaker 1: We'll said thank you. And at the same time, everyone's
- 22:48Speaker 1: reaction to you having your first child. It's pretty much
- 22:51Speaker 1: the same, like it's met with Oh my gosh, that's
- 22:54Speaker 1: so incredible, amazing, congratulations, like, well done.
- 23:00Speaker 3: I think the further away the separation of person you tell,
- 23:04Speaker 3: the less heartfelt it is. I agree, but family, immediate family,
- 23:08Speaker 3: oh my god, second tier, Oh congratulate.
- 23:12Speaker 1: You could argue that it's still pretty consistent.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Everyone one's always like, oh, there's always one mate.
- 23:18Speaker 2: It is like.
- 23:20Speaker 1: You, And so that's what it's like for number one.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Number two is pretty similar. People are still like, this
- 23:29Speaker 1: is a beautiful thing. You've got, you know, two children,
- 23:32Speaker 1: you know, the family is complete. Now well done, Greg
- 23:36Speaker 1: got great, pat.
- 23:37Speaker 4: On the back.
- 23:37Speaker 3: And then there's the odd person who's like two or
- 23:40Speaker 3: it does creep in, yeah, you go on again it does.
- 23:43Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Yet there all of a sudden people start to like,
- 23:46Speaker 1: there's a little peppering of people being like good luck.
- 23:49Speaker 1: But also for us number one, Marley dream Child, so
- 23:54Speaker 1: easy was incredible. So we experienced what it was like
- 23:57Speaker 1: having like a ten out of ten the unicorn the
- 24:01Speaker 1: Unicorn child. Lola was the complete other end of the spectrum.
- 24:05Speaker 2: She's a donkey.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, Lola. When you do listen to these when
- 24:11Speaker 3: you're older if Hey Donkey was an indearment.
- 24:14Speaker 1: There is a video on my phone. It's taken at
- 24:17Speaker 1: like three in the morning. And for the first eight
- 24:20Speaker 1: months it was really just like the anxiety of every
- 24:23Speaker 1: night time, knowing that you're going to go in and
- 24:25Speaker 1: at the absolute best case scenario you're going to get
- 24:27Speaker 1: like two hours of solid sleep. Before she would just scream,
- 24:31Speaker 1: scream in your arms for a good forty five minutes.
- 24:34Speaker 1: And I have a video where I'm feeling myself just
- 24:36Speaker 1: walking down the hallway with a screaming child like it's
- 24:39Speaker 1: being murdered and there's nothing you can do about it. Nothing,
- 24:41Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's to me, that's what the newborn
- 24:44Speaker 1: phase was like with Lola.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the latest one.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Yeah, And so in my head, I've got a reference
- 24:51Speaker 1: point for how incredible it can be, but also then
- 24:55Speaker 1: how incredibly hard it can be, just like the complete
- 24:58Speaker 1: other extreme. There's nothing that you can do as a
- 25:01Speaker 1: parent that controls where you end up on that scale.
- 25:03Speaker 1: It's just complete random pot luck.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you just hope that you get one
- 25:09Speaker 3: that eats and sleeps.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Yeah, eats and sleeps.
- 25:12Speaker 3: That's all you want, Like I don't if it shits itself,
- 25:15Speaker 3: it pisces, don't care, do not care whatsoever, eat, sleep.
- 25:20Speaker 1: The absolute dream. They're like the two most important criteria
- 25:23Speaker 1: for having a nice child. And so at the same time,
- 25:27Speaker 1: we've got this level of apprehension where Laura and I
- 25:30Speaker 1: are both kind of like, fuck, like what are we
- 25:33Speaker 1: going to get? We don't know, probably a baby hopefully
- 25:37Speaker 1: if it's not concerning. But everyone's reaction to number three is.
- 25:41Speaker 4: Like whoa shot?
- 25:44Speaker 2: Your brave?
- 25:45Speaker 3: And even when like I talk to people about it
- 25:48Speaker 3: and they're like Matt having his third they're like, what.
- 25:54Speaker 1: It's like saying I'm going on a solo flight around
- 25:57Speaker 1: the world and they're like, you don't know.
- 25:58Speaker 2: How to fly?
- 25:59Speaker 3: What is doing?
- 26:00Speaker 1: Everyone's reaction is like holding my hand being like good luck.
- 26:05Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like you need to go from
- 26:07Speaker 3: being a people manager to crowd control.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Yeah, just like that.
- 26:11Speaker 3: It's like, oh, fuck, I've got there's more of them
- 26:13Speaker 3: than there is of you, and and and Laura.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Now, so that will be.
- 26:17Speaker 1: The difference now, is that we're going into September. Was
- 26:22Speaker 1: so much apprehension. Yeah, I'm like just bracing myself right
- 26:26Speaker 1: now for what's to come.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, I couldn't do it. I'm sorry.
- 26:32Speaker 3: I look, we had Oscar and Oscar he was the
- 26:37Speaker 3: demoned he was. He was the Lola in the situation
- 26:40Speaker 3: where he to be fair after some after some you know,
- 26:45Speaker 3: doctor's appointments and stuff, there was other things going on.
- 26:47Speaker 2: But yeah, you're like, oh, fucking holl this thing doesn't
- 26:50Speaker 2: he doesn't sleep.
- 26:52Speaker 3: I was like fox sake, and it was to the
- 26:53Speaker 3: point where I was like, I don't want another one.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing point I would if I waive
- 27:00Speaker 1: a magic wand I would almost skip the first twelve
- 27:03Speaker 1: months because I think that's the hardest part of parenting.
- 27:06Speaker 1: And I know obviously, like there's a lot to still
- 27:07Speaker 1: come with ye, but I'm like newborn phase.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I know some people love it, though so do people.
- 27:14Speaker 3: You're going to get people are going to come out
- 27:16Speaker 3: at you for that and.
- 27:18Speaker 1: Come at me. If you love that newborn phase, great
- 27:20Speaker 1: for us. It is the absolute hardest. But then something
- 27:23Speaker 1: happened where I think it was it was the biggest
- 27:27Speaker 1: switch of Like obviously when Laura was first pregnant, was
- 27:31Speaker 1: so excited, we were stoked, and then the last couple
- 27:35Speaker 1: of weeks it's just been this stuck in this cycle
- 27:37Speaker 1: of like bracing for what's to come.
- 27:39Speaker 2: And then something happened.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Where it was like the biggest change in my mentality.
- 27:45Speaker 1: And so Laura messaged me a couple of weeks ago
- 27:47Speaker 1: and she's like I'm bleeding and I was like, uh,
- 27:55Speaker 1: like is it bad? And She's like it's not good,
- 27:58Speaker 1: Like it's enough to be like this is concern shit.
- 28:01Speaker 1: And it was weird in that the whole time, I
- 28:05Speaker 1: mean this mindset of like like you know, apprehension, I'm
- 28:11Speaker 1: like tense, I'm excited, but it's not the overwhelming feeling
- 28:15Speaker 1: that I have a lot of the time.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yeah, because the apprehension sort of trumps it a bit
- 28:19Speaker 2: because it's there.
- 28:20Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, it was it was
- 28:23Speaker 1: such an immediate switch where I was like, oh shit,
- 28:26Speaker 1: you know, we're not in the clear at all. Something
- 28:28Speaker 1: could go wrong. And then the thought of we might
- 28:30Speaker 1: lose this baby was just the surge of a realization
- 28:34Speaker 1: of how much I do want this child, and obviously
- 28:39Speaker 1: you know I want to have with a kid, but
- 28:42Speaker 1: that overtook the apprehension totally totally, and it was such
- 28:48Speaker 1: not that you want to go through that. I have
- 28:50Speaker 1: to say that after twenty four hours the bleeding stopped,
- 28:53Speaker 1: we went, Laura was checked out, everything was fine, Thank goodness,
- 28:58Speaker 1: and you wouldn't wish that's situation and that, you know,
- 29:01Speaker 1: intense twenty four hours upon anyone. But at the same time,
- 29:04Speaker 1: it was really important for me to just have that
- 29:06Speaker 1: reality check of like, don't forget you will do anything
- 29:10Speaker 1: with this kid.
- 29:10Speaker 3: For sure, and like the apprehension is just from past experience,
- 29:14Speaker 3: right yeah, where you're like, Okay, well, look, we're going
- 29:17Speaker 3: to get what we're going to get, but maybe I
- 29:19Speaker 3: should concentrate on being more excited.
- 29:21Speaker 2: About it than worried about what we're going to get.
- 29:24Speaker 1: Anyone who's reached out being like, well you're brave, that's
- 29:27Speaker 1: not a dig year. I think it's great. I love
- 29:28Speaker 1: people haven't had that chat. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but
- 29:31Speaker 1: it's Yeah. It was an important moment for me during
- 29:35Speaker 1: this pregnancy, which is also just like we're flying so fast.
- 29:39Speaker 1: I know for me, Laura is like, no, it's fucking not.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Syla, but yeah, we're.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Like, well, well passed the halfway mark.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Well I'm glad, everything's okay.
- 29:48Speaker 3: I mean, you're having worried for a second there because
- 29:50Speaker 3: I haven't seen Laura in a little while.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:52Speaker 1: No, she's doing good. She's doing good. She's doing good.
- 29:55Speaker 1: So poppy at the moment, I think there's definitely poppy,
- 29:59Speaker 1: definitely poppy. I think we're debating at the moment on
- 30:02Speaker 1: the middle name. I will not reveal because I don't
- 30:06Speaker 1: know if I'm allowed to or not.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Go ahead, start it, Rupert, Oh, that's actually that is
- 30:12Speaker 3: beautiful poppy, Rupert Johnson.
- 30:16Speaker 1: We've got a message ash from Live. You know, we
- 30:19Speaker 1: joke about the song on pair rants that's the greatest?
- 30:22Speaker 2: Is it the greatest? Or is it lies?
- 30:25Speaker 3: Oh?
- 30:25Speaker 1: Yeah, because let's have for those of you who don't remember,
- 30:28Speaker 1: let's have a little listen.

- 30:43Speaker 3: it just fits in so well.
- 30:44Speaker 1: And Live has requested that segment to come back because
- 30:47Speaker 1: she loves the theme song so much, and I said, look,
- 30:51Speaker 1: if you can get some lies in the Facebook group,
- 30:54Speaker 1: we'll bring it back.

- 30:56Speaker 3: Yeah, So she's back right one week only for now,

- 31:05Speaker 2: Would you go first? My guy first? One from Gemma

- 31:21Speaker 3: fish in those pools.
- 31:25Speaker 1: This one's from Lauren. Hi, Lauren, and Lar's what's up?
- 31:29Speaker 1: She says, We wave goodbye to dad as he goes
- 31:32Speaker 1: to work for the day. Really he's walking down to
- 31:35Speaker 1: the front study as he works from home half the time.
- 31:38Speaker 1: But if the kids know that, they will hassle.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Him, that's genius. That's a hack. If anything, what.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Happens if you need to go to the bathroom and
- 31:46Speaker 1: they're like.
- 31:48Speaker 2: O'ld diapers, baby, it's genius though.

- 31:54Speaker 3: sometimes if there's a kid off sick or whatever, or Thursdays,
- 31:57Speaker 3: I have Macy Emily just home.

- 32:19Speaker 3: The next one is from Crystal. Anytime we have a
- 32:22Speaker 3: card le scrape, we like to take a photo and
- 32:24Speaker 3: send it to the doctor. The doctor evaluates the injury
- 32:28Speaker 3: and writes back if it requires a band aid or.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Not, it's a no.
- 32:33Speaker 3: But if the doctor says so, then tantrum avoid it.
- 32:37Speaker 2: That is genius. These hacks as well.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Though you know you're lying is the ultimate parenting hat.
- 32:43Speaker 2: It is. It is because the T shirt very good.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Lola man, she's like, we bought some we bought some
- 32:52Speaker 1: superhero band aids, and she's just it's like crack for her.

- 32:59Speaker 1: like give me.
- 33:01Speaker 2: She's like scratch, which she finds Nicorette patches.
- 33:06Speaker 3: This is Daly finished the lie because there's more to it,
- 33:09Speaker 3: she says, she finishes with Really, it's just me sending
- 33:13Speaker 3: the pick.
- 33:13Speaker 2: She actually sends the pick, so that's commitment to the lie.
- 33:16Speaker 3: Sends the pick to one of my friends, who writes back,
- 33:19Speaker 3: no band aid required works every time.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Who's the friend? Yeah on the payroll.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Imagine trying to explain that message to someone that you've
- 33:29Speaker 3: just met that sees you get that message and it's
- 33:31Speaker 3: like a picture of a kid with it.
- 33:33Speaker 2: I was like, what are you into?
- 33:34Speaker 1: It's like you an h Crystal, Chris has got too She's.
- 33:39Speaker 2: Got too Wow. Put her on the payroll.
- 33:42Speaker 1: Absolutely the backbone of this podcast.
- 33:45Speaker 2: But also it's concerning how much she lies.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Yeah, not hit a judge.
- 33:49Speaker 2: You aren't.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Rich from you.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Sorry.
- 33:53Speaker 1: The lollly Man delivers lollies to the shop daily. However,
- 33:57Speaker 1: there is never enough for all the kids, and sometimes
- 34:00Speaker 1: when mom or dad goes to the shops there's none left.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Genius.
- 34:04Speaker 1: This goes with ice creams and fizzy drinks. The Lolli
- 34:07Speaker 1: Man is super busy and sometimes he gets to the
- 34:10Speaker 1: shops late, sometimes at all.
- 34:13Speaker 3: Genius. Crystal is a diabolical genius. Yes, she's like she's
- 34:18Speaker 3: like the villain.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I love that ashy. One last little short while we
- 34:27Speaker 1: gets squeezed in there.
- 34:28Speaker 3: Sure from Jode's Jodes very quick, but very good. Jody says,
- 34:39Speaker 3: all meat is chicken. It reminds me of that time
- 34:44Speaker 3: I gave Oscar steak for the first time and he
- 34:46Speaker 3: was like his chicken's brown. Yeah, he's already like critiquing
- 34:54Speaker 3: my cooking.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Very good Ash.
- 34:56Speaker 1: One of my favorite things to do each week is
- 34:58Speaker 1: to give parents in this country, from all over the
- 35:01Speaker 1: world a chance to have a rant.
- 35:03Speaker 2: Oh I love that about their life.
- 35:05Speaker 3: People love to get it off their chest.
- 35:08Speaker 2: So, without further ado, let's.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Do you don't mostly progression? You don't want to.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Just tell me what your parent?
- 35:26Speaker 3: Do?
- 35:26Speaker 1: You want my grandpa at the shop?
- 35:29Speaker 3: You don't want.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Advice refrangers, Go and tell me what is your parent?

- 35:54Speaker 6: Hi, guys, I just wanted to contribute to your parant segment.
- 35:58Speaker 6: I have a complaint that there are not enough gyms
- 36:01Speaker 6: with child minding facilities. Every health practitioner is on about
- 36:06Speaker 6: moving your body, but what a parent's meant to do
- 36:09Speaker 6: when you've got to look after kids. Gyms need to
- 36:12Speaker 6: have more child minding facilities.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Fair, I'd say move, that's pretty fair.
- 36:20Speaker 2: I remember cracious crash.
- 36:22Speaker 3: If you don't know, it's referred to as a crash
- 36:25Speaker 3: or crash however you want to pronounce they are.
- 36:27Speaker 2: They're dwindling numbers to do.
- 36:28Speaker 1: Someone say it's a threat, existential threat, it is.
- 36:33Speaker 2: I don't know what the problem is.
- 36:34Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's got to be expensive, right
- 36:37Speaker 1: to run the gym plus have There was one up
- 36:39Speaker 1: the road and it was great. Sometimes I just do
- 36:42Speaker 1: my shopping and I just leave the kids down and
- 36:43Speaker 1: be like, well, off to the gym.
- 36:46Speaker 2: How long can you leave them there? For days? Oh?
- 36:49Speaker 2: Definitely not to know.
- 36:51Speaker 1: I know, I agree, And I think what's really important
- 36:54Speaker 1: is the fact that my sister, she wants to get
- 36:56Speaker 1: a gains, She wants to come on, what come on?
- 37:01Speaker 2: She does need to What does April do?
- 37:05Speaker 3: April squats nat?

- 37:12Speaker 3: to it must be nice, yes, but it's also a
- 37:14Speaker 3: bit cult vibes. I'm waiting for my kids to be
- 37:17Speaker 3: converted into something. They come home, they'll be like, hell,
- 37:20Speaker 3: little fag, they just protein squat.
- 37:26Speaker 4: Ask her what.

- 37:43Speaker 1: fallen asleep.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Why are strangers touching your bait?
- 37:47Speaker 3: Why are you letting them touch you?
- 37:49Speaker 1: I've had it's happened before where someone's like, that's such
- 37:51Speaker 1: a cute baby, and you're like, thank you so much,

- 38:04Speaker 3: I Mean it's like, could you imagine me just coming
- 38:08Speaker 3: up to you on the street and being like, you're
- 38:10Speaker 3: a handsome man.

- 38:27Speaker 2: I am not into it at all.
- 38:29Speaker 4: Now.
- 38:29Speaker 3: I don't even to read this one off my phone
- 38:32Speaker 3: because I have a personal gripe. But you got kids sport,
- 38:36Speaker 3: let's talk about that really quickly. Go Okay, I'm all
- 38:39Speaker 3: for the health aspect.
- 38:41Speaker 1: You just copying my sister.
- 38:42Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, this is very vastly different. But the
- 38:45Speaker 3: problem I have with it is the expense of it.
- 38:48Speaker 3: And now let me tell you why I've got shits
- 38:50Speaker 3: about it. Okay, So we did a trial for jiu
- 38:54Speaker 3: jitsu with Oscar yesterday because he's like a spider monkey.
- 38:58Speaker 2: You need to harness this spider monkeyness.
- 39:01Speaker 1: But that a jiu jitsu is it's a cheap sport.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Is like, that's what you think. What happened, that's what
- 39:06Speaker 3: you think. There's no balls involved, and we know expensive
- 39:08Speaker 3: balls are Chodow for a draw. Loved it finally something
- 39:11Speaker 3: that he really really loved, and like, great, I'm happy.
- 39:14Speaker 3: I'm happy he likes it because you can defend himself too.
- 39:17Speaker 3: And then I get home and I was like I
- 39:19Speaker 3: had to go great and I was just showing April
- 39:21Speaker 3: all of his moves. He's pumped, and April goes, how
- 39:24Speaker 3: much is it? Two hundred bucks a month? Not too bad?
- 39:28Speaker 2: Bro? Are you for real? How many classes?
- 39:32Speaker 3: Well, that's unlimited, but he's not going to go every day.
- 39:34Speaker 2: I've got to take him. He lives jist list.
- 39:37Speaker 3: He's moving in seriously two hundred and that's because only
- 39:40Speaker 3: it's only.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Two hundred because you've got to sign up for twelve months.
- 39:43Speaker 2: He might not like it after six.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Months, so like they're trapping you, I think, not just
- 39:49Speaker 1: on the floor, but financially.
- 39:51Speaker 2: Very good, very good from you.
- 39:53Speaker 3: But I think we should overhaul the kids' sports, make.
- 39:57Speaker 2: It cheaper than that. They're tiny.
- 39:59Speaker 3: He doesn't.
- 39:59Speaker 2: He's gonna have to get a job.
- 40:02Speaker 3: That's my rant round away anyway, so as he's going
- 40:04Speaker 3: to be doing jiu jitsu five days a week.
- 40:06Speaker 2: Now, get our money's worth. Very good.
- 40:08Speaker 1: This one is from Caitlin. Caitlyn, what's happening? She says,
- 40:13Speaker 1: shops that don't open before nine am. I've lived forty
- 40:16Speaker 1: two lives before nine am. Just let me go and
- 40:18Speaker 1: get hit my groceries with my little no sleep gremlins
- 40:21Speaker 1: at seven am, since I'm already awake.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Very good, very good.
- 40:25Speaker 3: Sunday morning shop before ten am, because everything opens at
- 40:28Speaker 3: ten am on a Sunday is the best barely anyone around.
- 40:31Speaker 2: It's great.
- 40:32Speaker 3: It makes it so much easier parking, moving your trolley
- 40:35Speaker 3: up and oh goodful love.
- 40:36Speaker 2: It the dream the dream.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Final one from me today is and I don't know
- 40:40Speaker 3: if your kids do this This is from Jess and
- 40:43Speaker 3: it says our producer, No, she should have kids. No, why
- 40:48Speaker 3: can't kids just be bored for once? That's the that's
- 40:51Speaker 3: the start of the rant. Now I'm going to extend
- 40:54Speaker 3: on that because Oscar is the worst at this one
- 40:59Speaker 3: second of not doing doing some sort of activity.
- 41:02Speaker 4: I'm bored.
- 41:03Speaker 2: H almost like.
- 41:06Speaker 1: He's got add How dare you?
- 41:08Speaker 2: How do you diagnose my child like that?
- 41:10Speaker 3: But also bro come on, it started to become like
- 41:14Speaker 3: a trigger word for me. It's like, I'm bored. And
- 41:16Speaker 3: before he even finishes with the word bored, I'm like.
- 41:22Speaker 2: Find something to do back in my day. Oh, that's
- 41:26Speaker 2: another one. Let's not start on that. Be bored, kids
- 41:30Speaker 2: of the world, be bored.
- 41:32Speaker 1: As we have to give thanks to a very special
- 41:34Speaker 1: partner this week who has sponsored pair rants.

- 41:45Speaker 2: of questions today? A couple of questions.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Look, I've got one that I want to ask you
- 41:50Speaker 1: just want to get your opinion here.
- 41:54Speaker 2: Every couple does this.
- 41:56Speaker 1: We have a little argument, a little tiff, if you will,
- 42:00Speaker 1: and I would love to get a third party opinion
- 42:04Speaker 1: of who was in the wrong. If that's okay. You
- 42:08Speaker 1: may be a bit biased towards me, but it's important
- 42:12Speaker 1: that you stay spit it out. Okay.
- 42:14Speaker 2: So we went to the alid other house. Is this
- 42:17Speaker 2: putting you and Laura? You're wrong? Full stop?

- 42:31Speaker 1: So we're going down to the olid other house on Friday,
- 42:34Speaker 1: as you know, must be nice, thank you. It is
- 42:40Speaker 1: my job to pack the car.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't let to lift anything heavy.
- 42:45Speaker 1: So I packed the car, put everything in there, and
- 42:48Speaker 1: even Laura looked at the boot because we like had
- 42:51Speaker 1: to bring some like a vacuum cleaner down with us
- 42:53Speaker 1: as well, like lots of you.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Know, wives love packing unnecessary things.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I do brought half the kitchen sink. I don't need that,
- 43:02Speaker 1: but I got all of the cars. So we get
- 43:03Speaker 1: to the car and Laura goes, wow, you got everything
- 43:05Speaker 1: in there. I go, yeah, look, you know, like Tetris,
- 43:07Speaker 1: it was just full to the brim and I even said, oh,
- 43:10Speaker 1: do you reckon? I could squeeze in my spearfishing gear
- 43:13Speaker 1: and she says, yeah, yeah. I put it like in
- 43:15Speaker 1: front of Marley, put the floor there and I was like, Greg,
- 43:17Speaker 1: are great, drive down that it's three and a half
- 43:20Speaker 1: hours from Sydney.
- 43:21Speaker 2: We get there.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I unpacked the car because it's my job, and then
- 43:25Speaker 1: Laura goes, hey, can you just get my bag out
- 43:28Speaker 1: of the car. I said, your handbag and she goes, no, no, no, no,
- 43:31Speaker 1: my suitcase And I said, no, you're it's here. It's
- 43:36Speaker 1: the big suitcase because we we would always just put
- 43:39Speaker 1: all of our clothes into one big suitcase.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Road trip.
- 43:42Speaker 1: It's in a couple of nights and she goes, no,
- 43:44Speaker 1: I told you that I packed a separate bag. I
- 43:47Speaker 1: was like, did you and she goes, yeah, Now you remember.
- 43:53Speaker 1: I actually bring up the small bag a few nights
- 43:55Speaker 1: to go and I put some stuff in there and
- 43:58Speaker 1: I said to you can you put the bags in
- 43:59Speaker 1: the car And I was like, well, that's because we
- 44:03Speaker 1: had a few bags. So I said, where did you
- 44:05Speaker 1: leave the bagage? Because in the bedroom m because you
- 44:10Speaker 1: can't lift it too.
- 44:10Speaker 3: It's not meant to be lifting, I could, She's not
- 44:13Speaker 3: meant to be it's advised. It's a small bag. It's
- 44:16Speaker 3: like you could drink if you're pregnant, but it's advised
- 44:17Speaker 3: not to great point.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 44:21Speaker 1: So Laura has now realized that she has nothing. She's
- 44:27Speaker 1: a phone, you's a charge out, a laptop at a
- 44:29Speaker 1: bottle of water.
- 44:31Speaker 2: The should be hydrated.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Also doesn't help that she pissed herself in the car. Ah,
- 44:36Speaker 1: she coughed, had a roade coughs. So I would like
- 44:40Speaker 1: to know, Okay, who's your fault here?
- 44:44Speaker 2: I've told you I knew it.
- 44:45Speaker 3: I knew it immediately because she did say packed the bags.
- 44:49Speaker 3: But I'm not crossing are pregnant woman here?
- 44:51Speaker 1: Bro, don't change, don't change the setup. We always packed
- 44:54Speaker 1: the one big family bag.
- 44:55Speaker 3: But you've got you're going to have to adapt because
- 44:57Speaker 3: you're gonna have another kid. So you can't just assume
- 45:01Speaker 3: that things are going to be regular moving forward. You
- 45:04Speaker 3: should be like, hang on a sec. We usually pack
- 45:06Speaker 3: this one bag, but there's another child on board my
- 45:09Speaker 3: wife at the moment. So maybe she's changing, Maybe she
- 45:13Speaker 3: changing the routine change, Maybe she's getting used to that
- 45:16Speaker 3: we're going to need more than one one bag. She's
- 45:20Speaker 3: gonna have a separate bag from now on to now well,
- 45:22Speaker 3: every time you're going to have to look out for
- 45:25Speaker 3: that extra bag.
- 45:26Speaker 1: I double down.
- 45:26Speaker 2: You have to.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Double down, and I double down, and that I was like,
- 45:29Speaker 1: I'm not a faulty.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Oh my god, I said, I taught you nothing. Never
- 45:36Speaker 3: double down, especially when it's unclear who said what. If
- 45:39Speaker 3: there's pure evidence I don't remember her saying.
- 45:43Speaker 2: But then she remembers saying it.
- 45:45Speaker 1: That's because she's lying.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Yeah, but that you could be lying, I'm not. Oh well,
- 45:52Speaker 3: that holds up in court. I would say, just assume
- 45:56Speaker 3: she's right all the time, for an hour, for an
- 45:58Speaker 3: how well she's pregnant. It's it's fair for you to say, look, okay,
- 46:05Speaker 3: I get it. I'm sorry, but I missed it because
- 46:09Speaker 3: it wasn't with the other stuff. That's fine. But you
- 46:12Speaker 3: can say my bad, it was my bad.
- 46:15Speaker 2: It's hard to say that though. Swallow your card.
- 46:18Speaker 3: It's too big, lie and so I packed it must
- 46:20Speaker 3: have fallen out lies.
- 46:22Speaker 2: I worked for kids, they work for partners.
- 46:24Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, you're in the wrong there, big Anyway, Anyways,

- 46:44Speaker 2: not just as I think.
- 46:45Speaker 1: I don't want to generalize here, but I feel like
- 46:47Speaker 1: any child who goes to a public school ends up
- 46:51Speaker 1: a drug addict.
- 46:54Speaker 2: Yep, Like, I'm just joking. Did you go to public
- 47:01Speaker 2: school or private school?
- 47:02Speaker 1: I went to private school. I went to Saint Peter's
- 47:05Speaker 1: Lutheran College.

- 47:10Speaker 3: I want to find, Well, that must have been expensive.
- 47:13Speaker 2: Well not all of us went to a private school.
- 47:18Speaker 2: And the truth shall seck you free?
- 47:22Speaker 1: The younger two went to public Look where they're and

- 47:33Speaker 3: to do well.

- 47:40Speaker 2: with Lola and Marley? Marley is at a public school.
- 47:43Speaker 1: I mean what I liked ash about going to the
- 47:46Speaker 1: private school, and obviously, you know, very expensive and not
- 47:51Speaker 1: everyone has a luxury of being able to afford a
- 47:52Speaker 1: private school. I like that it was great.
- 47:55Speaker 2: For sport, Okay, a lot of sport. You find a
- 47:59Speaker 2: lot of them, like support, very heavy, like union love
- 48:02Speaker 2: my rugby, love my athletics. Why all religious schools too?
- 48:07Speaker 3: Like?
- 48:07Speaker 2: Since something?
- 48:09Speaker 1: Very good question. I don't know right off, I don't
- 48:12Speaker 1: know who knows their tax example, Actually, what are your thoughts?
- 48:15Speaker 2: Well, I went to both.
- 48:17Speaker 3: I went to both public, when got kicked out of
- 48:21Speaker 3: the public, and then went to the private, kicked out
- 48:23Speaker 3: of private, back to the public.
- 48:25Speaker 2: I went back to the private again. Oh yeah, bared
- 48:28Speaker 2: yourself out? Yes, yes I did, Matthew, I also.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Moved as a student. What did you find better?
- 48:37Speaker 2: I hated it all, to be honest, but I think.
- 48:43Speaker 3: I did learn that if you if you could, you
- 48:46Speaker 3: could be if you wanted to learn, you can. You
- 48:49Speaker 3: can excel in a public school. So this is how
- 48:51Speaker 3: this is my philosophy for my kids. It'll be public
- 48:55Speaker 3: school until you can see whether they like it or not. Okay,
- 49:00Speaker 3: but they like to learn or they don't. At the moment,
- 49:02Speaker 3: Oscar's six, he loves to learn because it's all so
- 49:05Speaker 3: fucking new. But eventually you're like, I'm bored with this.
- 49:10Speaker 3: So yeah, exactly right. So my assumption is Oscar's probably
- 49:13Speaker 3: going to be a bit like me, and which he
- 49:15Speaker 3: can just stick with the public school system. Okay, But
- 49:18Speaker 3: it's like if Macy goes in and she's quite a
- 49:22Speaker 3: bright kid.
- 49:23Speaker 2: Not saying's not bright, he's really fat.
- 49:27Speaker 3: If she really likes to learn and stuff like that,
- 49:30Speaker 3: and then there'll be the option. But I'm not going
- 49:31Speaker 3: to force them to do it. I think if it's expensive, if.
- 49:35Speaker 2: You know they're going to be a drop kick, you
- 49:37Speaker 2: put them into public with the drop kicks. Put him
- 49:41Speaker 2: in a gen pop.
- 49:44Speaker 3: But like, yeah, if Oscar's like, you know, if he's
- 49:47Speaker 3: like really excelling in football or whatever it is he's doing,
- 49:50Speaker 3: and it's like, well he can go to this school
- 49:54Speaker 3: and progress and there's and there's actual But if he's
- 49:57Speaker 3: like can't catch the ball and can't kick and he's
- 50:00Speaker 3: got two left feet, I'm not going to throw him
- 50:01Speaker 3: in the Knox grandmar I play rugby union with the
- 50:05Speaker 3: with the big boys. So yeah, I think, like, I
- 50:08Speaker 3: think they both have positives and negatives negatives.
- 50:13Speaker 1: Last question, did you thrive? I'm assuming the private school
- 50:18Speaker 1: was more strict? Is that good or bad?
- 50:21Speaker 2: Just made me naughtier? Oh?
- 50:23Speaker 1: Really, you were naughty in the private school?
- 50:24Speaker 3: Yeah, so I do recall in the last private school
- 50:27Speaker 3: I went to was a Catholic school and you have.
- 50:29Speaker 2: To do religion.
- 50:31Speaker 3: And I remember the question that was given to me
- 50:36Speaker 3: because they always preach about you know, like relationships and sex,
- 50:40Speaker 3: sex before marriage. And they were like, what's the best
- 50:42Speaker 3: form of contraception, which the answer was meant to be abstinence, right,
- 50:47Speaker 3: and I said, just pull.
- 50:48Speaker 2: It out expelled, boom done.
- 50:53Speaker 3: Parents in the office also, I'm not Catholic, and my
- 50:56Speaker 3: mom had to and sorry mum, to throw you on
- 50:58Speaker 3: the bas My mom faked that I was Catholic and.
- 51:02Speaker 2: They were like, okay, we just need the baptism and
- 51:04Speaker 2: stuff for you. It's just like, yeah, you're faks it
- 51:05Speaker 2: to you.
- 51:07Speaker 3: Never did, so my misbehavior comes from mama reckon. So
- 51:12Speaker 3: I look like you said if Oscar, if Oscar's excelling,
- 51:15Speaker 3: then yes we'll look at it, but I won't force it.
- 51:18Speaker 1: And same with the macon that, hey, if you're excelling
- 51:21Speaker 1: at listening to the podcast.
