- 0:01Speaker 1: I want to talk to you.
- 0:06Speaker 2: About a thing that I've done.
- 0:08Speaker 3: What have you done?
- 0:09Speaker 2: Put my finger in my bum.
- 0:10Speaker 4: Did you get? I had a funny thought.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Please.
- 0:14Speaker 3: That's not very funny.
- 0:15Speaker 4: I was just thinking about oxytocin, that's all.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Go on. What's that again?
- 0:18Speaker 3: You can get oxytocin from a big cuddle.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Should we hug it out?
- 0:23Speaker 3: And then I was like, I said to April, come here,
- 0:25Speaker 3: let me give you a hug. So you can come oxytocin.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Say it again.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Come what?
- 0:32Speaker 4: Never mind.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Say it once more.
- 0:34Speaker 5: No.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Say it for the doters.
- 0:35Speaker 4: No.
- 0:35Speaker 3: I said I'm going to make you come oxytocin.
- 0:38Speaker 6: Okay.
- 0:38Speaker 3: No.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And you say I'm creepy.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Yes.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Can we start again, please?
- 0:44Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Welcome back to two dads i'm not having that i
- 1:04Speaker 2: am maddie j i wasn't.
- 1:05Speaker 1: And i'm producer vick i'm.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Not here and this is a podcast all about parenting
- 1:10Speaker 2: it is the good it is the bad and the
- 1:12Speaker 2: relatable and if you come for advice no no.
- 1:17Speaker 4: But give your spouse a hug and generate.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Some oxytocin there you go or make them come whatever.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Both happy things.
- 1:24Speaker 4: Both happy things.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Well said.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Absolutely well said. Matt?
- 1:29Speaker 2: Hello.
- 1:29Speaker 4: Anything on coming and oxytocin from you?
- 1:30Speaker 2: I want to give a shout out to Marley.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:35Speaker 4: That's a good term.
- 1:36Speaker 2: We're talking about, you know. Oxytocin?
- 1:39Speaker 4: If you give your kids oxytocin, I mean, give a cuddle,
- 1:42Speaker 4: they give oxytocin. So it's a good thing.
- 1:44Speaker 2: There you go. So actually Marley may get this oxytocin
- 1:47Speaker 2: on the weekend. No, she probably won't. She's got her
- 1:50Speaker 2: very first game of netball. Yep.
- 1:53Speaker 1: That is exciting. I was wondering what was happening with netball.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Has she done any training really?
- 1:58Speaker 2: She has been doing training, except the only issue is
- 2:00Speaker 2: makes me a little bit nervous that during the school holidays,
- 2:03Speaker 2: which was a little while ago, we were away for
- 2:07Speaker 2: most of it. And in the group chat, the netball
- 2:10Speaker 2: group chat, there's a lot of holiday training going on.
- 2:13Speaker 2: The parents are catching up. They were going, they were
- 2:16Speaker 2: finding courts. They were like all getting together and, And
- 2:19Speaker 2: I was like, hello. And so I'm a little bit
- 2:24Speaker 2: worried at how she's going to go. She's not very
- 2:26Speaker 2: competitive at all.
- 2:28Speaker 3: That might benefit her for the first one, where she
- 2:31Speaker 3: might just be happy to be there and get in
- 2:34Speaker 3: amongst it without knowing, like, without having that.
- 2:37Speaker 2: I don't know if she's read this somewhere, but she
- 2:39Speaker 2: says to me, Dad, I'm not a competitive kind of girl.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I'm a dancey, creative girl. Okay, well.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll just find out when she gets on the court. No,
- 2:48Speaker 3: I don't think.
- 2:50Speaker 2: She has it in her to really be someone who competes.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Well, you'll find out.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that video of these kids playing
- 2:57Speaker 2: soccer and this one girl's doing cartwheels?
- 3:00Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 3:00Speaker 2: That's going to be Marley.
- 3:02Speaker 4: At least she's involved.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Louis likes to chase his own shadow on the field.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Ah, good on you, Louis.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Good on you, Louis.
- 3:12Speaker 2: So, very first game of netball, except... I said she
- 3:16Speaker 2: couldn't be there. I thought we're going to be away.
- 3:17Speaker 2: So I've put her in as like a late. So
- 3:19Speaker 2: I think she's starting on the bench.
- 3:21Speaker 3: That's okay.
- 3:22Speaker 4: She gets a watch.
- 3:24Speaker 2: And I thought maybe, I don't know if this is
- 3:26Speaker 2: bad parenting or not, but I was like to try
- 3:28Speaker 2: and get her excited. Cause she loves new things. I
- 3:32Speaker 2: was like, I'm going to buy her a pair of shoes.
- 3:34Speaker 2: She only has Crocs and her black school shoes. That's it.
- 3:38Speaker 3: So now she's got some netball shoes, like some runners?
- 3:40Speaker 2: Well, yes, because I've got some pinky run shoes.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought.
- 3:44Speaker 3: It is meant to be fun too.
- 3:46Speaker 2: I said to her, I was like, hey, you've got
- 3:49Speaker 2: a brand new pair of shoes coming. They're going to
- 3:51Speaker 2: come in the mail. And she's like, over my dead body,
- 3:53Speaker 2: am I going to play netball on the weekend? And
- 3:55Speaker 2: I was like, okay. It's very specific.
- 3:58Speaker 3: That's just nerves.
- 4:00Speaker 4: That's anxiety.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Absolutely that is anxiety.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I think it is.
- 4:03Speaker 3: She's like she has built it up in her head
- 4:06Speaker 3: to be like this big scary thing. Then when afterwards
- 4:09Speaker 3: it won't be a scary thing.
- 4:10Speaker 2: I think maybe because I was panicking.
- 4:11Speaker 1: It's the great unknown.
- 4:12Speaker 2: I was panicking. I was like, oh, they're training Marley.
- 4:15Speaker 2: And she was like, now I know. They're training without you.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 4:19Speaker 4: They're doing like some of them can do 100 push-ups.
- 4:21Speaker 4: And she's like, what can you do? Did you ever
- 4:24Speaker 4: play a mixed netball?
- 4:25Speaker 2: What?
- 4:26Speaker 3: Did you ever play mixed netball?
- 4:27Speaker 2: Not for me.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Not for you. It's really fun to play, but boring
- 4:30Speaker 4: to watch.
- 4:31Speaker 1: It's very hard. I've played like two games in my life.
- 4:33Speaker 3: I reckon you would be very good.
- 4:36Speaker 4: You've got long limbs. You're tall. You're agile.
- 4:39Speaker 3: You're fast.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I was never good at basketball.
- 4:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 4:41Speaker 2: It's not my domain.
- 4:42Speaker 4: Yeah, but what about the basketball? See, that's the thing.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I think people who weren't good.
- 4:45Speaker 3: At basketball played netball.
- 4:46Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I'm more of a... Was I ever really good in
- 4:48Speaker 2: the water? Never good on the basketball court?
- 4:51Speaker 1: He was a gymnast.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm more of a cricket ball kind of guy.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Can I ask what position Marley is going to play?
- 4:59Speaker 4: Left right out at this stage.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Why would you attack my daughter like that? Because she's
- 5:04Speaker 2: on the bench. That's my eldest daughter.
- 5:05Speaker 4: You said she's on the bench.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I can make fun of her.
- 5:07Speaker 4: I did not. You said she's on the bench.
- 5:10Speaker 2: She's going to listen back to this podcast and be like, wow,
- 5:12Speaker 2: Ash was a real fucking asshole.
- 5:14Speaker 1: She's also going to hear that you called her a
- 5:15Speaker 1: fuckwit last week.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Did I say that?
- 5:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:17Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Marley, if you're listening, I love you. That was a joke.
- 5:23Speaker 4: I love you too, Marley.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Ash is the real enemy here.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Mine was a joke.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Let's not forget.
- 5:27Speaker 3: You turned your kids on me last episode too, the
- 5:29Speaker 3: episode before.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Did I?
- 5:31Speaker 4: Yeah, the same episode that you said that she was
- 5:33Speaker 4: a fuckwit.
- 5:33Speaker 3: I said something and you were like, don't.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Come at me.
- 5:37Speaker 2: This just, for anyone who's new here, they may listen
- 5:40Speaker 2: and go, gosh, they really don't like each other on
- 5:41Speaker 2: this podcast. We do.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Not a great start.
- 5:44Speaker 2: We do enjoy each other company, but it just becomes
- 5:46Speaker 2: a bit of a like power struggle for like who's
- 5:48Speaker 2: on top.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:50Speaker 1: We have a lot of fun, though.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I'm excited to see how she goes. Obviously, it must
- 5:56Speaker 4: be a lower, because they can't, it's quite high.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Well, she has said, she's like, Dad, the fucking, the
- 6:00Speaker 2: thing is, the fucking net's too high.
- 6:02Speaker 3: They surely bring it down for seven-year-olds.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I don't think they do.
- 6:05Speaker 1: No.
- 6:06Speaker 4: So what, is it going to be nil all every week?
- 6:08Speaker 2: I think the scores are like 3-1.
- 6:10Speaker 4: And it's the referee putting the ball in. Oh, it's close. Yeah,
- 6:14Speaker 4: I don't.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Oh, maybe they do. I have no idea.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I really, I actually did see. I saw some year
- 6:19Speaker 2: six kids training and I was like, wow, they're really good.
- 6:23Speaker 4: But they're year six.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was like.
- 6:26Speaker 4: It's twice Marley's age, really.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I'm really, this is my first, guys, big deal, my
- 6:30Speaker 2: very first time watching competitive sport with my children because
- 6:34Speaker 2: up until now they've been doing dancing and gymnastics, all
- 6:37Speaker 2: the bloody artsy-fartsy creative boring sports.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Yeah, sports.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Didn't Lolo do soccer?
- 6:43Speaker 2: But that was like clinics, which she fucking hated with passion.
- 6:50Speaker 2: So now this is the real, this is like the
- 6:52Speaker 2: big step up.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Does Marlene need a pep talk?
- 6:54Speaker 4: I'm pretty good at pep talks.
- 6:55Speaker 3: I can give her a pep talk.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Can I record one and send it to you?
- 6:58Speaker 3: For what day is it?
- 6:59Speaker 2: Saturday.
- 7:00Speaker 3: For Saturday morning.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Please.
- 7:01Speaker 4: And she's feeling nervous.
- 7:02Speaker 3: You just go, look, Ash has something to say to you.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll FaceTime her.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Do it. Because Ash helps kids win. That's his job.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like a psychologist for kids.
- 7:12Speaker 4: Here's one for you.
- 7:12Speaker 3: April messaged me when I was away because she had
- 7:14Speaker 3: to play touch and she was like, I don't want
- 7:16Speaker 3: to play because she was feeling anxious and nervous because
- 7:18Speaker 3: they've lost every game.
- 7:19Speaker 2: What do they call it again? Like the MILFs or something?
- 7:22Speaker 4: The MILFs, yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 2: The old. Ageless beauties.
- 7:25Speaker 4: The old MILFs.
- 7:26Speaker 1: The old MILFs. Ageless beauties.
- 7:29Speaker 4: I don't know. Ageless athletes.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Ageless athletes. I prefer MILFs.
- 7:33Speaker 3: She texted me and said, I was telling Oscar that
- 7:36Speaker 3: I was nervous to play and he said, Imagine how, no,
- 7:39Speaker 3: wonder how you'll feel after. Because that's what I would
- 7:41Speaker 3: say to him to get him to.
- 7:44Speaker 2: He's stealing your material.
- 7:45Speaker 4: He's stealing my stuff.
- 7:47Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 7:47Speaker 1: That's so adorable.
- 7:50Speaker 3: He wrote a handwritten note for her to keep, to
- 7:54Speaker 3: take on the field.
- 7:55Speaker 4: What did it say? Let's call her. Because I want
- 7:58Speaker 4: to call her anyway about the bike. You want to
- 8:00Speaker 4: find out about the bike stuff?
- 8:01Speaker 6: Please.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Also, I keep forgetting to bloody write my kids letters
- 8:05Speaker 2: for lunchbox. Every night I'm like, I'll do it in
- 8:08Speaker 2: the morning, and then in the morning I'm like, get
- 8:09Speaker 2: in the fucking car. I'm like, damn it, I forgot.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Love you.
- 8:12Speaker 6: Hi, Ben.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Hello.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I'm here with Matt and Vic, and we just have
- 8:18Speaker 3: a couple of things we want to talk to you about.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Hey, April.
- 8:20Speaker 6: Hi. Yay.
- 8:22Speaker 3: Don't sound so excited. Firstly, we want to talk about
- 8:26Speaker 3: touch football and the note that Oscar left you.
- 8:29Speaker 4: What did he say?
- 8:30Speaker 6: Oh, bless. Every Monday comes around and I get quite
- 8:34Speaker 6: nervous and I was telling him I'm quite nervous about
- 8:37Speaker 6: touch football. I think we may have been in the
- 8:40Speaker 6: car after his jiu-jitsu or something and he goes to me, Mum,
- 8:44Speaker 6: think about how proud you'll feel if you beat them tonight.
- 8:49Speaker 6: And I was like, oh, but that was so nice.
- 8:52Speaker 2: Quite profound. Anyway, hey. That's quite profound.
- 8:55Speaker 3: He's a mini-ash.
- 8:57Speaker 6: And then, you know, I was getting ready and he's like,
- 9:00Speaker 6: he passes me a note and he's written it down
- 9:04Speaker 6: on a piece of paper saying, Mum, think about how
- 9:06Speaker 6: proud you'll be if you beat them tonight. But then
- 9:09Speaker 6: the thing is, I want you to win or something
- 9:11Speaker 6: like that. And he made me take it to show
- 9:14Speaker 6: my teammates as well, so to help us get through
- 9:17Speaker 6: the game.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Nice. And how did you go?
- 9:20Speaker 2: We lost, but... Yeah, what was the score?
- 9:22Speaker 3: Dammit.
- 9:23Speaker 6: I think it was like 9-2, but I think I
- 9:27Speaker 6: did my best playing yet.
- 9:29Speaker 2: That's good.
- 9:30Speaker 4: I was going to say, you did a goose step. Yeah,
- 9:32Speaker 4: I did.
- 9:33Speaker 6: I did not even know where that came from.
- 9:34Speaker 4: I must have just watched so much football.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Nice.
- 9:39Speaker 4: I know.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Very good.
- 9:41Speaker 4: Go, girl.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Next one is recently you purchased your first bicycle.
- 9:47Speaker 6: I did.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Can you give us an update how that's going? Because
- 9:51Speaker 3: I've been away for a week.
- 9:52Speaker 2: I haven't done it.
- 9:53Speaker 6: Oh, what?
- 9:54Speaker 4: I haven't done it in the week that you've been away. Oh, okay,
- 9:56Speaker 4: all right.
- 9:56Speaker 2: There's a lot on your plate right now.
- 9:58Speaker 1: She can't ride a bike by herself if she doesn't
- 10:00Speaker 1: know how to ride a bike.
- 10:00Speaker 4: I taught her.
- 10:02Speaker 3: I've taught you how to ride a bike.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I thought about, like, taking the kids and, like, just,
- 10:06Speaker 6: but I feel like I still feel like I need
- 10:08Speaker 6: you there to manage the kids while I concentrate.
- 10:11Speaker 3: On bike riding.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Just remember, April, think about how proud you'll be after
- 10:16Speaker 2: you take that little ride around the park by yourself.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Very good.
- 10:20Speaker 4: She's getting good.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I remember last time.
- 10:22Speaker 4: The confidence is growing.
- 10:24Speaker 6: It's funny. People, like, stop to let the kids pass
- 10:27Speaker 6: and then they see me coming and they just keep walking.
- 10:29Speaker 2: But I'm like, no, you need to stop.
- 10:33Speaker 4: I remember, like.
- 10:34Speaker 6: They don't know.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Oscar's so quick on it now.
- 10:38Speaker 3: I'll get some footage for the guys because you're getting
- 10:41Speaker 3: quite good except for when there's people around and you
- 10:43Speaker 3: get a bit nervous and a bit shaky.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I want to hear how the lessons went. Like, did
- 10:47Speaker 1: you put the towel around her?
- 10:48Speaker 3: No, I honestly did the old just once you've got momentum,
- 10:52Speaker 3: don't stop pedalling and straight away. Nice. It was just
- 10:55Speaker 3: the turning, which was a bit shaky.
- 10:57Speaker 6: I still think turning's a little bit tricky.
- 11:00Speaker 2: We're all very proud of you, April.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Oh, thanks, guys.
- 11:03Speaker 6: Very proud.
- 11:03Speaker 4: We'll keep tabs on you.
- 11:04Speaker 1: We can all go for a bike ride together on
- 11:06Speaker 1: the northern beaches.
- 11:07Speaker 4: All right.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Settle down, Vic.
- 11:08Speaker 4: All right. I'll see you at home.
- 11:11Speaker 3: All right. Bye. Bye.
- 11:13Speaker 2: I really wanted to bring up the sex pillow.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Why?
- 11:16Speaker 2: Because I just wanted to say that. Congratulations.
- 11:19Speaker 1: This is a pervert. Unlike me, who's very.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Shut up. You're the worst. You've rubbed off on me.
- 11:28Speaker 2: I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
- 11:31Speaker 3: That's Vic's job.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Okay. We're here to talk about touch football and bike riding.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Good on her. Just really quickly, Ash, before we move along,
- 11:42Speaker 2: before we had school holidays, we talked about doing a
- 11:44Speaker 2: collective knit treatment. This is to the class on the
- 11:48Speaker 2: WhatsApp chat for Marley because everyone just kept getting, it
- 11:51Speaker 2: was like the revolving door of knits. They just jump
- 11:53Speaker 2: from one kid to the next.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Well said.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. It was like battling COVID back then.
- 12:00Speaker 2: We're like, we have an outbreak.
- 12:02Speaker 5: Everyone get down.
- 12:03Speaker 3: My grandmother called COVID the carver.
- 12:05Speaker 4: She just couldn't quite understand.
- 12:06Speaker 2: What it meant.
- 12:08Speaker 4: She's got that carver.
- 12:09Speaker 2: But Laura suggested that all the kids do the knit
- 12:11Speaker 2: treatment at the same time. And since then, not a
- 12:15Speaker 2: single outbreak.
- 12:16Speaker 3: Wow.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Because it got so bad that one of the teachers,
- 12:20Speaker 2: I think it was a supply teacher, if any child
- 12:23Speaker 2: scratched their head, they were put by themselves in the classroom.
- 12:27Speaker 2: They were ostracized.
- 12:28Speaker 3: It's kind of like, also, if you really wanted to
- 12:31Speaker 3: get back at someone, you'd just feed, you'd just put
- 12:33Speaker 3: nits in that classroom. And they'd be like, there you go.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Well, I don't think you'd have.
- 12:37Speaker 1: How do you catch a nit?
- 12:38Speaker 4: You'd get it. You'd do it. You'd find it.
- 12:40Speaker 3: You would make it happen. If you were that devious
- 12:42Speaker 3: to think about that, I would make it happen.
- 12:44Speaker 4: Anyway, carry on.
- 12:45Speaker 2: That is a level of deviancy which I've never experienced before.
- 12:49Speaker 3: Watch out.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Good to hear, actually.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Because, I mean, like, I used to have to shave
- 12:55Speaker 3: my head when I was a kid because I'd get
- 12:56Speaker 3: it all the time because... It's a fact.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Well, yeah, well said, well said.
- 13:01Speaker 3: There's a little note here that's saying a live show
- 13:03Speaker 3: in Amsterdam.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Explain.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Vic, what's that?
- 13:05Speaker 1: That actually came from Martina, a dota who lives in Amsterdam.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Oh, Martina.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Hello, Martina.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Hello, Martina.
- 13:12Speaker 1: She was one of the duchies that wrote to us
- 13:14Speaker 1: and said, hey.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Can I just ask, Martina, if you were born a male,
- 13:18Speaker 3: would your name be Martin?
- 13:19Speaker 2: Potentially.
- 13:20Speaker 4: It's a very valid question. Her dad was like, yeah,
- 13:23Speaker 4: we've got names picked out. It's either Martin or Martina.
- 13:26Speaker 1: You could say the same about Ash and Ashley.
- 13:28Speaker 3: It's Ashton, thank you very much.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Ashton and Ashley.
- 13:30Speaker 4: Okay, leave the jokes to me, Vic. Carry on.
- 13:34Speaker 1: But she said, how about a live show in Amsterdam,
- 13:37Speaker 1: then for all of us Dutchies in the Netherlands?
- 13:40Speaker 2: That would be great.
- 13:41Speaker 4: There's three people.
- 13:42Speaker 1: There's more than three.
- 13:44Speaker 4: Martina. No, you can look on the.
- 13:47Speaker 2: That's a lot of heavy lifting for not a lot
- 13:50Speaker 2: of return.
- 13:51Speaker 4: If you pay for it, Martina.
- 13:53Speaker 2: We're talking flights, accommodation, the jet lag. We're bringing the family.
- 13:58Speaker 4: Just to watch YouTube.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Bring in the family.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Well.
- 14:00Speaker 4: I wouldn't bring mine.
- 14:01Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, it's a great suggestion, Martina.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I don't want to say no. We'll think about it.
- 14:07Speaker 4: Maybe one day.
- 14:07Speaker 3: We're not going to do it.
- 14:08Speaker 4: Maybe one day.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Do we have any doters in the travel industry who
- 14:11Speaker 1: can pay for this whole trip?
- 14:13Speaker 4: Just float it.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Just float it.
- 14:15Speaker 4: It's only business class too. You've got to throw that
- 14:16Speaker 4: in there.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Ash's bad back.
- 14:18Speaker 4: My bad back.
- 14:19Speaker 2: You know what he's like.
- 14:19Speaker 4: I can hurt your back, so you also have to
- 14:21Speaker 4: go business class.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I just looked up. The Netherlands, we have 8400.
- 14:26Speaker 3: That's a small show.
- 14:29Speaker 1: It's more than three.
- 14:31Speaker 3: That's true.
- 14:32Speaker 2: There you go. Thank you for the suggestion.
- 14:33Speaker 4: Maybe one day.
- 14:34Speaker 2: We'll let it marinate. I've taught my kids something very dumb.
- 14:38Speaker 2: You're there teaching these beautiful sayings to Oscar, giving great
- 14:44Speaker 2: outlooks on life, on how to be more positive.
- 14:46Speaker 3: I'm regurgitating them to him from someone else.
- 14:48Speaker 4: Still.
- 14:49Speaker 1: And he's regurgitating them to April.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. Whereas in my household, I'm regurgitating-
- 14:55Speaker 2: Very silly things.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Okay, what do you got?
- 14:59Speaker 2: There's certain sayings that you learned as a child that
- 15:02Speaker 2: I've held on to.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Like what?
- 15:04Speaker 2: I looked at my children one morning and I thought,
- 15:06Speaker 2: I think they're ready for this. I think it's time.
- 15:10Speaker 2: And I was also like, it was a slow morning,
- 15:12Speaker 2: I wanted to giggle, and I was like, this will
- 15:14Speaker 2: go down well. Is anyone familiar with the saying, peace man,
- 15:18Speaker 2: turn around, oopsie, one fell down?
- 15:22Speaker 4: No, that's good.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Can you also explain for the people who can't watch
- 15:27Speaker 1: what you were just doing.
- 15:27Speaker 2: With your hands? Just follow along with the words. You
- 15:31Speaker 2: need to have actions. Peace, man. Peace sign. Turn around.
- 15:34Speaker 3: So you turn it around.
- 15:36Speaker 2: And you go, oops, one fell down. And you then
- 15:38Speaker 2: end up giving someone the middle finger.
- 15:41Speaker 4: Very clever. Bad habit.
- 15:43Speaker 2: And I like taught them and their eyes just lit up.
- 15:47Speaker 2: It was beautiful. It was like Christmas morning. They were like,
- 15:49Speaker 2: they've just discovered this beautiful thing. And I like turn
- 15:52Speaker 2: around and Laura's face, she's just like.
- 15:55Speaker 4: You've got to have a bit of fun, man.
- 15:57Speaker 2: She's like, what are you fucking doing? And I was like, what?
- 16:00Speaker 2: What's the problem? She's like, why would you teach them that?
- 16:03Speaker 2: And I'm like, ah, you know, no big deal. All day.
- 16:07Speaker 2: The kids to each other, the kids to me, the
- 16:09Speaker 2: kids to the neighbors.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Not at school.
- 16:10Speaker 2: To Nana. They're like, hey, Nana, fuck you.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:12Speaker 4: Just flip it to the bird.
- 16:14Speaker 1: They love it.
- 16:15Speaker 2: They've not stopped for a week now.
- 16:17Speaker 4: You're a batting class.
- 16:18Speaker 2: I've created monsters.
- 16:19Speaker 3: They're going to.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Do it at school. And I was also like, have
- 16:21Speaker 2: a cigarette. Have a beer and then do this for everyone.
- 16:25Speaker 4: That's good.
- 16:26Speaker 3: I'm going to steal that, see if Oscar likes it.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Oh, he'll love it.
- 16:29Speaker 3: He'll love that.
- 16:29Speaker 1: I taught Louis, bang, bang, you're dead, 50 bullets in
- 16:32Speaker 1: your head, one more, up your bum, that makes 51.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 16:37Speaker 5: Did you hear that one?
- 16:38Speaker 4: I've heard that before. That's way more murderous.
- 16:42Speaker 6: Wow.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Vic's like, I thought I taught Louis, bend you over,
- 16:45Speaker 2: fuck you up your ass, turn around, punch you in
- 16:47Speaker 2: the face, and that's what you get.
- 16:49Speaker 4: I can't remember. There's so many of those.
- 16:52Speaker 1: As soon as I said it, I was like, what
- 16:54Speaker 1: have I just done?
- 16:54Speaker 2: Vic, can you say it one more time?
- 16:56Speaker 1: I don't know if I should.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Bang, bang, 50 bullets in your head, isn't it?
- 17:00Speaker 4: Turn around, one up your bum, that's 51. Is that right?
- 17:04Speaker 2: It's close.
- 17:05Speaker 1: It's bang, bang, you're dead, 50 bullets in your head.
- 17:09Speaker 1: One more up your bum. And that makes 51.
- 17:13Speaker 6: Oh, my.
- 17:14Speaker 2: And wait, you used to say this as a kid?
- 17:17Speaker 1: It was like when you were playing cops and robbers
- 17:19Speaker 1: and stuff.
- 17:19Speaker 4: I never.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Like running around, like you're just using your fingers.
- 17:22Speaker 4: I don't want to know what you guys did.
- 17:23Speaker 3: I don't want to know what you did with your fingers, Vic.
- 17:27Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 17:28Speaker 3: There would be so many from primary school that you
- 17:31Speaker 3: just can't remember. But Oscar, because he's in primary school, obviously.
- 17:34Speaker 3: He comes back home with all these things, especially like jokes,
- 17:37Speaker 3: like dumb jokes, like the woo-hoo one and shit like that.
- 17:41Speaker 3: But they love. I remember when I was in primary school,
- 17:43Speaker 3: there was always a saying. So if you've got a
- 17:46Speaker 3: primary school one-liner or a primary school.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Rhyme, we should gather those up. Because people say that
- 17:52Speaker 2: in Australia we don't have any culture.
- 17:54Speaker 4: That is culture.
- 17:55Speaker 2: This is all we've got.
- 17:56Speaker 4: That is good culture.
- 17:58Speaker 5: Oh, God.
- 17:59Speaker 3: So I'm trying to think if there's any more than
- 18:00Speaker 3: that off the top of my head, but I can't
- 18:01Speaker 3: remember them.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Yeah, they just love them.
- 18:03Speaker 3: I just keep thinking of No Hat, No Play, No
- 18:05Speaker 3: Fun Today. That's all I can think of.
- 18:06Speaker 4: But, like, that's a good one.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Yeah, so if you've got any, I'd love to collate
- 18:10Speaker 3: them if we could. So send them in so we
- 18:12Speaker 3: can read them out. Yeah?
- 18:13Speaker 6: 100%.
- 18:13Speaker 3: You guys are looking.
- 18:14Speaker 4: At me like, whoa. Do you not know what I
- 18:16Speaker 4: mean by that?
- 18:18Speaker 1: No, definitely.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Send them in.
- 18:19Speaker 6: That's great.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And make me feel less alone in my terrible parenting.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Thank you. Thank you.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Jeez, Vic.
- 18:25Speaker 4: Vic's like, anyway, so don't murder your fellow school students.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I know, it's really bad.
- 18:31Speaker 2: It is bad.
- 18:32Speaker 3: It's got a great run, though. There's a note here
- 18:34Speaker 3: from New South Wales Transport. What have we done?
- 18:37Speaker 2: Just something that I saw, which, you know, we talk
- 18:40Speaker 2: about parking quite a bit, actually.
- 18:42Speaker 3: It's always a sticky point in every parent's life.
- 18:45Speaker 2: So before, previously, the parking discussions had been limited to
- 18:49Speaker 2: whether or not you actually have to have a pram
- 18:51Speaker 2: in the car when you're getting one of those parking.
- 18:53Speaker 2: specific car parks at a Westfield shopping centre, as an example?
- 18:57Speaker 2: Or is the baby seat enough to qualify?
- 18:59Speaker 3: I think the baby is probably, or a child.
- 19:01Speaker 2: Let's not go back into it.
- 19:03Speaker 4: Let's not open up those cat words.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Could I just say, there's a guy down the road
- 19:05Speaker 3: from me who drives a Holden Monaro and he pushes
- 19:08Speaker 3: his cat around in a pram.
- 19:10Speaker 2: That is such a weird contrast.
- 19:11Speaker 4: Weird spectrum of personality there. He's like, how the fuck
- 19:15Speaker 4: you going?
- 19:16Speaker 2: Yeah. What's with that?
- 19:19Speaker 4: How are you, mittens?
- 19:20Speaker 2: If your animal is in a pram, it's time to
- 19:22Speaker 2: put them down.
- 19:24Speaker 4: Facts. Factual.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Unless, no, there's no, I just think, yeah, I wholeheartedly
- 19:30Speaker 3: believe that.
- 19:31Speaker 1: It is cute, though.
- 19:32Speaker 4: What's cute? Pushing around some furry thing that shits everywhere.
- 19:37Speaker 1: It's cute, but it's weird.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I agree. But the question is, do you think, the
- 19:44Speaker 2: two of you, Is it allowed to reserve a car
- 19:47Speaker 2: park when you're just a pedestrian? Like if you were,
- 19:51Speaker 2: say you're driving around the shopping centre or on the
- 19:53Speaker 2: street and you have to try and do a U-turn
- 19:55Speaker 2: to get to the park and I'm in the car
- 19:57Speaker 2: with you as a passenger and I go, I'll jump out.
- 19:59Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
- 20:00Speaker 3: I'm not even going to let you finish.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Please.
- 20:02Speaker 4: Absolutely not. That is not on. I'll fucking run you over.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Wow.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Wow.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I feel very strongly about this. I
- 20:10Speaker 1: fucking hate it when people do this.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Because we see it coming up to Christmas time. It's
- 20:13Speaker 2: when people start to get a little bit crazy when
- 20:15Speaker 2: it comes to car parks.
- 20:16Speaker 1: It's the most selfish thing you can do as a driver.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 20:20Speaker 3: And the thing is with a car park, it's a
- 20:24Speaker 3: lawless area of the world.
- 20:26Speaker 4: I feel like. It's not lawless.
- 20:28Speaker 1: It's illegal.
- 20:28Speaker 3: Yeah, but I feel like people think it's lawless because
- 20:32Speaker 3: the other day I'm in the car park. We could
- 20:33Speaker 3: do a whole podcast on cars.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Look how passionate he's gotten.
- 20:36Speaker 2: I know.
- 20:36Speaker 4: It infuriates me. So I was in the middle of
- 20:40Speaker 4: the road. It's still a road, okay? It's still a road.
- 20:43Speaker 2: The business analysts are like, what is happening next door?
- 20:45Speaker 3: Someone just walking up the middle of the road bit.
- 20:48Speaker 3: And I was like, just walk like it's a footpath.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Oh, I hate it when people do that as well.
- 20:53Speaker 2: And I was like, beep.
- 20:54Speaker 4: And they're like, and I just put the window down
- 20:56Speaker 4: and said, it's not a fucking footpath. And then I
- 20:58Speaker 4: just put the window up and kept going. But what?
- 21:00Speaker 3: I said that in my head.
- 21:02Speaker 4: Then I had the argument. I was like, love you, bye.
- 21:05Speaker 3: But I feel like can we just all abide by
- 21:08Speaker 3: common courtesy? People lose common courtesy in a car park immediately.
- 21:12Speaker 3: It should say at the front, it should be like
- 21:14Speaker 3: one hour is free, four hours, whatever you pay for,
- 21:17Speaker 3: just keep your common courtesy.
- 21:20Speaker 5: Right?
- 21:20Speaker 4: That's what it should be like.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Oh, I feel like.
- 21:22Speaker 4: They need more parking cops.
- 21:24Speaker 2: So you are absolutely correct.
- 21:26Speaker 4: That is one of the most, like I said, I
- 21:27Speaker 4: will run you over.
- 21:29Speaker 5: That's how much.
- 21:29Speaker 4: I feel about that.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Remember this for next time when you need to like
- 21:32Speaker 1: wake him up.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I'm like, Ash, parking. And he's like.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Honestly.
- 21:38Speaker 6: Honestly.
- 21:39Speaker 2: I think it's fucked.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. It really infuriates me.
- 21:42Speaker 2: So you will, just to put you at ease, New
- 21:45Speaker 2: South Wales Transport has come out. They've done a post
- 21:47Speaker 2: on Instagram and they said it's not allowed. It's dangerous
- 21:50Speaker 2: and it's illegal.
- 21:51Speaker 4: Justice.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Ash just came.
- 21:53Speaker 3: And you can get a fine.
- 21:53Speaker 1: Fucking justice. If you are standing in a spot and
- 21:57Speaker 1: a parking inspector or someone from Transport New South Wales
- 22:00Speaker 1: sees you, you can get a fine.
- 22:02Speaker 4: Can you print that out?
- 22:03Speaker 3: Can you print 50 copies of that for me, please?
- 22:05Speaker 2: We don't have a printer in the office.
- 22:06Speaker 4: We'll find one.
- 22:07Speaker 2: We're not there yet.
- 22:08Speaker 4: The business analyst has a fucking printer.
- 22:10Speaker 1: We're not there.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Imagine if we knock on their door and be like,
- 22:12Speaker 2: can we borrow your printer?
- 22:13Speaker 4: You guys got a photocopy and a printer? And then
- 22:15Speaker 4: we just wheel it next door.
- 22:16Speaker 5: Hey, guys.
- 22:18Speaker 4: This is all a share space, isn't it? But honestly.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Where do you want to put those if you print them?
- 22:23Speaker 4: He wants to.
- 22:23Speaker 1: Hand them out. He's going to wind his window down
- 22:26Speaker 1: and say, read it and weep.
- 22:28Speaker 4: Yeah, read it.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Fuckhead. In North Sydney?
- 22:31Speaker 4: Anywhere.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Great. Outside the coals.
- 22:34Speaker 4: Anywhere in New South Wales. Look, I don't want to
- 22:37Speaker 4: take the laws.
- 22:38Speaker 3: Across the border.
- 22:39Speaker 1: But Transport for New South Wales has said, so not
- 22:41Speaker 1: only is it a dodgy move, but it could also
- 22:43Speaker 1: see you getting a fine for doing so.
- 22:45Speaker 4: Does it say how much?
- 22:46Speaker 1: No, it doesn't actually. But someone has written in the comments,
- 22:49Speaker 1: is using a cone less dodgy, asking for a friend.
- 22:54Speaker 4: That's good.
- 22:55Speaker 1: To which they have swiftly replied, you cone not reserve
- 22:59Speaker 1: a parking spot no matter the method.
- 23:01Speaker 2: New South Wales Transport has said that?
- 23:03Speaker 1: Well done, Transport for New South Wales.
- 23:04Speaker 3: He's a dad.
- 23:04Speaker 4: That guy's a dad for sure.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Can I just, talking about parking, very quickly.
- 23:09Speaker 3: We could talk about parking all day.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I know. This is the parking episode. I didn't know
- 23:12Speaker 2: you felt this passionately about parking. Tell me if this
- 23:16Speaker 2: is allowed.
- 23:16Speaker 3: I'm going to say no.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Okay. So across the road from me is a construction
- 23:20Speaker 2: site and they're moving pretty slowly. I got to say,
- 23:24Speaker 2: it's a beautiful design. Lovely, lovely work architecturally. Great. But
- 23:28Speaker 2: it's just taking a real long time. I spoke to
- 23:30Speaker 2: the owner and he's like, fuck, they're taking forever. And
- 23:31Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, man, like there's only ever like two
- 23:34Speaker 2: or three tradies there at the most. I don't want
- 23:37Speaker 2: to start like getting anyone in trouble. If you're working
- 23:39Speaker 2: on that construction site, I'm like, fucking hell, hurry up.
- 23:42Speaker 2: What they've done is. ash is they've got a dig
- 23:45Speaker 2: excavator on the back of a trailer permanently parked outside
- 23:49Speaker 2: taking up one.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Car i know i know exactly what you're talking.
- 23:52Speaker 2: About then they've got a trailer filled half with rubbish
- 23:56Speaker 2: on another there's two car parks they've got it in
- 23:58Speaker 2: the middle so they take up both so in total
- 24:01Speaker 2: we have three car parks without any like they haven't
- 24:04Speaker 2: like purchased it you know sometimes you can get like
- 24:06Speaker 2: a construction site they're supposed to have none of that
- 24:10Speaker 2: Do I tell the council? Do I?
- 24:12Speaker 4: Can I just say one thing?
- 24:13Speaker 3: Please.
- 24:13Speaker 2: I agree with you.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Yes.
- 24:14Speaker 2: That is not on.
- 24:15Speaker 6: But.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Because.
- 24:16Speaker 3: But don't start the council route. Because once you pop,
- 24:19Speaker 3: you can't stop. Once you do one complaint to the
- 24:23Speaker 3: council and it works, you're going to be like, this
- 24:24Speaker 3: is how these.
- 24:25Speaker 4: People get their power.
- 24:26Speaker 2: It's the power.
- 24:27Speaker 4: Yes. And then they start walking.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Around their own postcode like they're wearing a cape.
- 24:32Speaker 4: And then like self-righteous.
- 24:33Speaker 3: I've got another gripe after this, which I'm going to
- 24:35Speaker 3: share with you, but let's get through this one first.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Have either of you ever messaged the council?
- 24:40Speaker 3: I know Vik has.
- 24:41Speaker 1: What have I messaged them about?
- 24:42Speaker 4: You just seem like a type.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Too much admin ADHD, I forget.
- 24:48Speaker 4: She's like deleting emails. Look, no, I haven't.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I really want to.
- 24:54Speaker 3: No, don't because then you become that person and the
- 24:56Speaker 3: power gets to your head and you'll be unbearable in
- 24:58Speaker 3: the neighborhood.
- 24:58Speaker 4: And then everyone will look at you as the guy.
- 25:01Speaker 2: But every morning I'm like there, my hands on my
- 25:02Speaker 2: hips going, bloody three car parks. Who the hell do
- 25:05Speaker 2: they think they are? This construction's taken more than 12 months.
- 25:08Speaker 2: It's so inconsiderate.
- 25:09Speaker 3: And that's as far as you should go. Because think
- 25:12Speaker 3: of how that sounded in your head then. Imagine that
- 25:15Speaker 3: in writing.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Can I just like rewind? And you said you were
- 25:17Speaker 2: going to like drive over.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Very different.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Hit someone with your car.
- 25:21Speaker 4: I would much rather you do that. Do that. Because
- 25:25Speaker 4: then people will be like, good on you, Matty J.
- 25:27Speaker 4: But if you go to the councillor, it's like, oh, he's.
- 25:29Speaker 2: One of them.
- 25:29Speaker 5: I was.
- 25:30Speaker 3: You can be anonymous.
- 25:31Speaker 2: The Bondi Council, they are like, they're everywhere because they
- 25:34Speaker 2: make so much money from getting people. There's so many,
- 25:37Speaker 2: such limited car parks, so many cars. See the problem?
- 25:40Speaker 6: Landlocked.
- 25:40Speaker 3: I do.
- 25:41Speaker 6: I do.
- 25:42Speaker 2: It's a sad story. And down the end of the street,
- 25:45Speaker 2: I was driving and I saw them in their little
- 25:47Speaker 2: car and I said, excuse me. Excuse me, come here, here.
- 25:51Speaker 4: You're dobbing them in.
- 25:53Speaker 2: And they were like, what is it? And I was like, okay,
- 25:55Speaker 2: listen here. Up the road on the right-hand side.
- 25:57Speaker 1: You'll never believe this.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Is a construction.
- 25:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I was like.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And the guy was like, where is it? And I
- 26:03Speaker 2: was like, up there. Why are you whispering? Because I
- 26:06Speaker 2: was like, I don't want them because every morning I'm like, hey, fellas.
- 26:10Speaker 2: And they're like, hey. And I'm like, I fucking hate
- 26:12Speaker 2: you so much.
- 26:13Speaker 4: Yeah, you're like, okay, bye. And the door shuts and
- 26:15Speaker 4: you're like, motherfucker.
- 26:15Speaker 2: There's a skid in there. The parking inspectors, I was like,
- 26:20Speaker 2: they're up there. It's them on the right-hand side, 100 metres.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And they were like, we can't see which way. And
- 26:24Speaker 2: I was like, just walk up there. Look at the excavator.
- 26:27Speaker 2: And I was like, please hurry. And cars behind me
- 26:29Speaker 2: were like, beep, beep, beep.
- 26:31Speaker 4: You'll do something like that. They'll go. up to do
- 26:34Speaker 4: it and then they'll point at your house and say,
- 26:35Speaker 4: that guy complained.
- 26:36Speaker 5: He's the one now.
- 26:37Speaker 4: And you'll be like. The curtains.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:41Speaker 4: You're becoming Rhonda.
- 26:42Speaker 5: I know.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Her soul has been passed down to Matty J.
- 26:47Speaker 2: It has.
- 26:48Speaker 4: You're the new, what do we used to call her?
- 26:50Speaker 4: The general.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I'm the general.
- 26:51Speaker 4: You're the general now. The general Rhonda. Matty general.
- 26:54Speaker 2: God. And there was a party down the street and
- 26:56Speaker 2: I almost called the police. But I didn't.
- 26:59Speaker 4: Down the street.
- 26:59Speaker 2: Well, I'm always 40 now. When you hit 40, you.
- 27:02Speaker 4: Want to start complaining.
- 27:02Speaker 3: Dude, I did call the police on a party once.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Go on.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Didn't someone call the police on your party, like Laura's party?
- 27:07Speaker 2: Yeah, they threw eggs.
- 27:08Speaker 4: They threw eggs?
- 27:09Speaker 2: Yeah, Laura's party.
- 27:11Speaker 4: That's funny.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Who did you call?
- 27:12Speaker 4: Oh, it was a long time ago, but I was
- 27:14Speaker 4: living in a unit.
- 27:15Speaker 3: It was just me and April. It was our first
- 27:16Speaker 3: unit actually together. And upstairs was a young girl, like
- 27:20Speaker 3: older than us, but still considered quite young. And she
- 27:22Speaker 3: used to have friends over all the time. I think
- 27:24Speaker 3: she had a roommate.
- 27:24Speaker 4: But they were always quite noisy, but it.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Wasn't a problem. And then it was Christmas night. My
- 27:29Speaker 3: parents were staying with us and they were having a party.
- 27:32Speaker 2: It was fine.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I had no problems with that. Midnight came, no problems.
- 27:35Speaker 3: I got to 3am and they were, I don't mind
- 27:38Speaker 3: if it's inside, but the boys were out on the
- 27:41Speaker 3: balcony screaming and it was echoing through the complex. Anyway,
- 27:45Speaker 3: so I fucking was like, all right, I've had enough
- 27:46Speaker 3: of this. So I just called the cops. They just
- 27:48Speaker 3: came down the driveway, flashed their lights or whatever, and
- 27:50Speaker 3: that really cleared them out.
- 27:51Speaker 4: That was it. No problems.
- 27:53Speaker 3: But one of the other neighbors left death threats for
- 27:56Speaker 3: her because they literally were throwing beer bottles apparently over
- 28:00Speaker 3: the next building.
- 28:02Speaker 4: That's not on.
- 28:03Speaker 3: No.
- 28:03Speaker 4: But that was the only time I ever did it.
- 28:05Speaker 3: But I was like, keep me anonymous.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Did you then have the cape?
- 28:09Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just walking around like, I did this.
- 28:12Speaker 2: I am protecting everyone.
- 28:14Speaker 3: But I didn't leave any death threats, that's for sure.
- 28:19Speaker 3: But I think if they're down the road, how noisy
- 28:22Speaker 3: were they? They must have been real noisy.
- 28:23Speaker 4: Or were they just on the street?
- 28:24Speaker 2: Very noisy, yes.
- 28:26Speaker 4: Think of the children.
- 28:27Speaker 2: The children could barely sleep.
- 28:28Speaker 4: Shut your windows.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I did.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Double glaze?
- 28:31Speaker 2: No, I can't afford it.
- 28:32Speaker 1: Can't afford it.
- 28:34Speaker 4: I've got a gripe too.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 28:36Speaker 4: I have got a gripe. April, she's rubbed a neighbour
- 28:38Speaker 4: up the wrong way.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Okay, so we have Squiggy.
- 28:42Speaker 2: The dog.
- 28:43Speaker 4: Squiggy the dog.
- 28:43Speaker 3: Small dog.
- 28:44Speaker 2: What breed?
- 28:45Speaker 4: It's a Maltese Shih Tzu.
- 28:46Speaker 3: It's one of those cat dogs.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 28:48Speaker 4: Anyway, April walks.
- 28:49Speaker 3: Iggy in the middle of the day. Okay, we live
- 28:51Speaker 3: in an area full of dogs everywhere.
- 28:53Speaker 4: We always pick up her dog poo.
- 28:55Speaker 3: April is walking along the main road just near my place,
- 28:59Speaker 3: McPherson Street. So walking up the road there, medium strip,
- 29:03Speaker 3: then there's paths off into the townhouses there from the
- 29:06Speaker 3: medium strip. Iggy, the dog, Squiggy, started to do a wee,
- 29:10Speaker 3: a wee, on one of the medium strips out the
- 29:12Speaker 3: front of this house and a lady poked her head
- 29:14Speaker 3: out and had a go at April for letting the
- 29:17Speaker 3: dog wee on the grass.
- 29:21Speaker 2: But in the medium strip?
- 29:23Speaker 4: It doesn't, it just shouldn't matter. It's just wee on
- 29:24Speaker 4: the grass.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Did she know it was wee though or did she
- 29:26Speaker 1: think she was going?
- 29:27Speaker 4: Yeah, April was like, it's a wee.
- 29:30Speaker 3: But the thing is, the lady would sit there and
- 29:32Speaker 3: wait for people with their dogs. I was like, tell
- 29:35Speaker 3: me which house it is now. And I was like,
- 29:37Speaker 3: I'm not telling you. I'm like, okay, well, I'll find
- 29:39Speaker 3: out on my own. because she has a crack at me.
- 29:41Speaker 3: What does she want me to do?
- 29:42Speaker 4: Bring a sponge around with me? She's got the cape on.
- 29:45Speaker 4: Am I going to sponge up my dog's piss? It's
- 29:48Speaker 4: going like.
- 29:48Speaker 5: A sponge.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Can I ask you?
- 29:51Speaker 2: Ask away.
- 29:52Speaker 4: Okay. Picking up dog poo, 100%. I get it. No
- 29:55Speaker 4: one wants to.
- 29:56Speaker 1: 100%.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Joking, joking, joking. It's okay.
- 29:59Speaker 3: I always pretend to pick it up.
- 30:00Speaker 2: No, I never.
- 30:01Speaker 1: No, because if a child picks it up and eats
- 30:02Speaker 1: it or puts it in their eye, they can lose it.
- 30:04Speaker 4: What a stupid kid.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Don't do that, Louis, like that.
- 30:07Speaker 4: Oh, no.
- 30:10Speaker 2: May I say something? If you have a nice garden,
- 30:13Speaker 2: a front garden, I think it would be annoying if
- 30:16Speaker 2: your dog wheeze on like a beautiful, because Buster's wheeze
- 30:19Speaker 2: is like acid. It kills everything. And so sometimes there's
- 30:23Speaker 2: like a nice house. Well, maybe that's why. Sometimes he'll
- 30:26Speaker 2: go for the nice plants. And I'm like, oh, fuck.
- 30:28Speaker 3: But this is the difference here.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Go on.
- 30:29Speaker 3: Boy dog, girl dog. Girl dog, no cock the leg.
- 30:32Speaker 3: It's just straight down on the grass.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Also, giant horse dog and tiny cat dog.
- 30:36Speaker 4: Tiny little dog.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Squee. Squee's about 12, no, not even, like six kilos.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Are we really living in a world now, okay, and
- 30:42Speaker 3: this is where, and I don't care for it, where
- 30:46Speaker 3: not only do I have to worry about picking up
- 30:48Speaker 3: my dog's shit, which is fine, but now I've got to, what,
- 30:52Speaker 3: carry a sponge around to soak up my dog's piss.
- 30:55Speaker 4: That's pretty much what she's saying.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Grass is fair game. Right?
- 30:59Speaker 6: 100%.
- 30:59Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Hmm.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Outraged. And rightfully so.
- 31:03Speaker 1: I feel sorry for that woman if you figure out
- 31:05Speaker 1: which house she lives.
- 31:06Speaker 4: On and knock on her door.
- 31:07Speaker 3: But also, what sort of life is this peasant living
- 31:10Speaker 3: that they've got to stand at their window?
- 31:12Speaker 2: Ah, she's old.
- 31:12Speaker 1: I feel like there's a.
- 31:13Speaker 3: You just assumed she's old.
- 31:15Speaker 2: How old was she? I don't know. She was old.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Why tell me who she was?
- 31:18Speaker 2: She was old.
- 31:19Speaker 1: There's a group of people, sometimes they're men, sometimes they're women...
- 31:22Speaker 1: who are just unhappy. But what makes them happy is
- 31:26Speaker 1: to make other people unhappy.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Well said.
- 31:29Speaker 2: She's good.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Misery loves company.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Wait till I find this.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Write that down.
- 31:34Speaker 3: I'm going to take a piss in the garden myself.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Okay, please don't.
- 31:38Speaker 6: Why?
- 31:38Speaker 2: Please don't do that. Why? Vic, breaking news.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Yeah, on to something a little bit lighter.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Or is it?
- 31:45Speaker 3: We'll find out, won't we?
- 31:47Speaker 1: Oh, you'll have a gripe about this one.
- 31:49Speaker 6: Oh, great.
- 31:49Speaker 3: Yay.
- 31:50Speaker 4: Yay.
- 31:51Speaker 3: You guys love getting me fired up.
- 31:52Speaker 2: I know.
- 31:52Speaker 1: I love that.
- 31:53Speaker 4: You love rage baiting me.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:55Speaker 4: I'm pretty chill otherwise.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Mental note about that.
- 31:58Speaker 6: Are you? What?
- 31:59Speaker 1: No, you're very passionate.
- 32:00Speaker 3: It's what we love about you.
- 32:01Speaker 2: Lots of passion. Lots of passion.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Well, a study of 6 million people found women experience
- 32:06Speaker 1: more pain than men. The study looked at 6.1 million
- 32:10Speaker 1: people aged 5 to over 100 from 118 countries. Researchers
- 32:15Speaker 1: categorised pain across 11 anatomical sites, including the head, back,
- 32:19Speaker 1: stomach or abdomen, hip and knee. All participants self-reported their pain.
- 32:25Speaker 3: What about testicles?
- 32:27Speaker 2: TBC. That was taken off.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Across all 11 anatomical sites, women reported more pain than men.
- 32:34Speaker 1: The gap between men and women was largest for facial pain,
- 32:38Speaker 1: headaches and stomach or abdominal pain.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Is that because you guys have the periods?
- 32:42Speaker 1: I would say that's a big part of it.
- 32:44Speaker 4: The periods.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I wouldn't be laughing actually because we are getting Jackie
- 32:49Speaker 1: back soon and she is going to help you understand
- 32:52Speaker 1: what period pain is like.
- 32:53Speaker 4: I'm laughing at the way he said it.
- 32:55Speaker 2: I said periods because I knew it would get a
- 32:57Speaker 2: laugh out of me.
- 32:58Speaker 4: No, he said the periods.
- 33:00Speaker 3: He said the periods knowing it would scratch my itch.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Yeah. Can I ask you a question, Vic? Have you
- 33:05Speaker 2: ever broken a bone in your body?
- 33:07Speaker 1: Only like a toe.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Okay. All right.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Poor toes. Like I'm more than just a toe.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Okay.
- 33:12Speaker 2: So... I've broken my arm before.
- 33:15Speaker 3: Tell us about it.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I tripped over on the concrete.
- 33:18Speaker 4: How old were you?
- 33:19Speaker 2: It's hard to talk about, but I was grade four.
- 33:21Speaker 4: Have you broken a bone?
- 33:23Speaker 1: Why is that hard to talk about?
- 33:25Speaker 2: It's not really. It's a dramatic effect.
- 33:27Speaker 4: Not a trauma involved. I've broken ribs.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Okay. Well, I don't want to question that study and
- 33:33Speaker 2: also put doubt in the minds of people who are
- 33:35Speaker 2: listening right now, but- It seems like we had more
- 33:39Speaker 2: pain than you also.
- 33:42Speaker 4: Is the study, is the study who can withhold more pain?
- 33:45Speaker 2: No, who experiences.
- 33:47Speaker 4: Who feel pain more.
- 33:48Speaker 2: And also, Ash follows Manly in the footies, so imagine
- 33:51Speaker 2: him in pain every single weekend. That's awful.
- 33:53Speaker 1: That's emotional pain.
- 33:54Speaker 3: Still counts. Okay, so let me just understand this. It's
- 33:57Speaker 3: not who can tolerate it more. It's who feels it
- 34:00Speaker 3: the most in the moment or as trauma.
- 34:04Speaker 1: We experience more pain than men.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Okay, could there be a world where the men are
- 34:10Speaker 2: trying to say, no, I'm fine. yeah and they're like
- 34:12Speaker 2: oh you do that's true you do have a bro
- 34:14Speaker 2: because it's self-reporting pain right so the men could be
- 34:17Speaker 2: like no i'm absolutely good they're like timmy you're in
- 34:20Speaker 2: hospital and.
- 34:20Speaker 3: He's like no i'm sweet that sounds about right and
- 34:22Speaker 3: but women are more honest yeah so kudos to you
- 34:25Speaker 3: guys because i think we would go i know if
- 34:28Speaker 3: someone's like is that hurt i'm like no and then
- 34:31Speaker 3: it'll be like you'd be like yeah it hurts already
- 34:33Speaker 3: but then i'd be like trying to withhold and also
- 34:35Speaker 3: it's competitive I mean.
- 34:36Speaker 1: The study was aimed at helping better understand how pain
- 34:40Speaker 1: can be managed and prevented, particularly in young people, because
- 34:42Speaker 1: they found that young people were reporting pain more than
- 34:45Speaker 1: older people. So anyone under 40 was reporting more pain
- 34:48Speaker 1: than 40 plus, probably because people 40 plus just like
- 34:52Speaker 1: fucking get on with it.
- 34:54Speaker 2: Fucking get on with it, Kat.
- 34:58Speaker 1: We don't have time.
- 34:59Speaker 2: That was a bit of real Vic slipping in there.
- 35:02Speaker 4: So anyway, we have to fucking pour for it. So anyway,
- 35:06Speaker 4: let me go back and have some tea.
- 35:10Speaker 3: But we don't have fucking time.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Just get on with it.
- 35:14Speaker 6: I mean.
- 35:14Speaker 2: I mean.
- 35:15Speaker 5: See you, everyone.
- 35:16Speaker 4: He's going to cry.
- 35:19Speaker 2: He's going to cry.
- 35:21Speaker 4: Oh, excuse me.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Okay, there's some really interesting studies out and about now
- 35:26Speaker 3: about pain and pain receptors, okay, especially in the brain.
- 35:30Speaker 1: I'm going to have a scar under my eye.
- 35:31Speaker 4: There's people out.
- 35:31Speaker 3: There that don't feel pain whatsoever and it's actually really
- 35:34Speaker 3: dangerous because they hurt themselves, they could be bleeding.
- 35:37Speaker 2: This is me.
- 35:39Speaker 1: I have a really high pain threshold.
- 35:41Speaker 3: No, there's people that clinically do not feel pain, Vic.
- 35:45Speaker 4: It's a condition. You're like, me too. I want to
- 35:50Speaker 4: fucking get old.
- 35:51Speaker 2: I want to validate her feelings. Continue, Vic.
- 35:54Speaker 1: I have had a pin in my foot. for over
- 35:57Speaker 1: a month now bragging about it and i can't get
- 36:01Speaker 1: it out so you're.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Just like i'll live with it that's adhd yeah you're
- 36:04Speaker 3: just like it's like i got a light bulb in
- 36:05Speaker 3: my foot i just live with.
- 36:06Speaker 1: It i know i can't though and my chiro said
- 36:08Speaker 1: i had to get it out and if any dodo
- 36:10Speaker 1: knows how to get something out i don't know if
- 36:12Speaker 1: i should go to special care or if i.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Should just chop your foot off and get on with
- 36:15Speaker 3: it i know.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Dan's like should we amputate.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Is the skin grown over.
- 36:21Speaker 4: Yeah I stepped on a drawing pin.
- 36:24Speaker 2: How did you get your light bulb out?
- 36:25Speaker 4: I stepped on it.
- 36:26Speaker 2: But how did you get it out?
- 36:27Speaker 4: It's still in it. Every few years it resurfaces.
- 36:30Speaker 3: I can feel it. It kind of reminds me that
- 36:32Speaker 3: I'm alive.
- 36:32Speaker 4: That's great.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Does it make you walk differently?
- 36:34Speaker 4: Well, it makes me walk faster on that foot.
- 36:37Speaker 3: So I don't want to put as much pressure on it.
- 36:38Speaker 3: So I'm like, makes sense. Anyway, there's a lot of studies,
- 36:42Speaker 3: really interesting studies, about pain receptors. What they're doing is
- 36:45Speaker 3: they're taking your nerves from someone who doesn't feel pain
- 36:49Speaker 3: and inserting into people who have chronic pain all the
- 36:51Speaker 3: time to see if it alleviates.
- 36:53Speaker 6: Wow.
- 36:53Speaker 4: It's very clever.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Very smart.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Pain is tough, especially for people who have pins in
- 36:58Speaker 3: their feet.
- 36:59Speaker 4: Pins in their feet.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Debilitating.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Some people have debilitating.
- 37:01Speaker 3: Like my mom is in pain all the time.
- 37:03Speaker 2: Same with my mom.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Yeah my mom does too me too and my dad
- 37:08Speaker 3: anyway so what you're saying is you guys feel it.
- 37:11Speaker 1: More than us we experience it more what does that
- 37:13Speaker 1: mean oh well because like on a monthly basis like
- 37:19Speaker 1: i had a period this month that literally i could
- 37:21Speaker 1: not get out of bed and it was so yeah
- 37:25Speaker 1: yeah it was awful and i was like this fucking
- 37:27Speaker 1: sucks you could just get on with it or I did.
- 37:29Speaker 1: I had to fucking do this show.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Didn't I? Did it make you forget about the pin, though,
- 37:33Speaker 2: for a bit?
- 37:33Speaker 1: It did.
- 37:35Speaker 5: Silver lining.
- 37:36Speaker 1: One pain replaced with another.
- 37:38Speaker 3: I was like, oh, you just learned to live with it,
- 37:39Speaker 3: but still there.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Please, any medical professionals who are listening and want to
- 37:42Speaker 2: help Vic out, by the end of this year, we
- 37:45Speaker 2: will remove that pin.
- 37:47Speaker 4: Didn't we try this before?
- 37:49Speaker 2: I don't think we have.
- 37:49Speaker 4: There was nothing similar to this where it was like.
- 37:51Speaker 1: I put that cream... Oh, it like draws it out.
- 37:54Speaker 5: Drawing cream.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Yeah, you can do, Vegemite will do the same thing.
- 37:56Speaker 1: I put drawing cream on there. I went to the
- 37:58Speaker 1: baths last night that can also, has magnesium in it,
- 38:01Speaker 1: so it helps draw it out.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Try Vegemite.
- 38:03Speaker 1: We've tried to like squeeze it out. It's just, it's
- 38:06Speaker 1: so far in there. I stepped on a drawing pin
- 38:08Speaker 1: and it must have snapped off.
- 38:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:10Speaker 1: And it's right in there.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Try Vegemite.
- 38:12Speaker 2: Why Vegemite?
- 38:13Speaker 4: Vegemite draws things out of the skin. They used to
- 38:15Speaker 4: do it a lot with like splinter.
- 38:16Speaker 1: More than magnesium paste?
- 38:17Speaker 4: Or get a splinter probe.
- 38:19Speaker 3: So what you do is splinter probe, you go in
- 38:20Speaker 3: and around it and then you can actually scoop it out.
- 38:23Speaker 4: It'll hurt, but then it will heal.
- 38:24Speaker 2: Hey, everyone, stand by. We will follow this story.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Can you do it to me?
- 38:30Speaker 3: I'm married, Vic. Oscar started to do something that I've
- 38:35Speaker 3: picked up on. Last night I actually noticed it. And
- 38:38Speaker 3: we were talking about the Rugby League World Cup, which
- 38:40Speaker 3: is on.
- 38:40Speaker 2: At the moment.
- 38:41Speaker 3: And you know how obsessed with Rugby League he is.
- 38:44Speaker 4: And we were talking about team lists.
- 38:46Speaker 3: He just loves seeing who's on the team, what number,
- 38:49Speaker 3: where they're playing, all this sort of stuff for every team,
- 38:51Speaker 3: not just the team he wants to follow.
- 38:53Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I don't know, man.
- 38:54Speaker 3: I don't know that every team and every player or whatever.
- 38:56Speaker 3: I was just busy doing something else. And then while
- 38:59Speaker 3: I was in the kitchen, I was making them dinner.
- 39:01Speaker 3: I was making them dinner. And then I see him
- 39:02Speaker 3: walk past with the phone and he's figured out AI.
- 39:06Speaker 3: So now he's talking into the AI to get his answers,
- 39:10Speaker 3: but it's for absolutely everything. So he had this Pokemon
- 39:13Speaker 3: card and I was like, oh, let's see what this
- 39:15Speaker 3: Pokemon card's worth because you can Google online. And then
- 39:18Speaker 3: he was going through his Pokemon cards and I hear.
- 39:21Speaker 4: This, how much is Charizard? And I was like, who
- 39:26Speaker 4: the fuck is he talking to?
- 39:26Speaker 2: Who is he talking to?
- 39:27Speaker 3: Walk in, he's talking to April's phone. He's finding April's phone.
- 39:30Speaker 3: So he's pretty much gained a new friend.
- 39:33Speaker 1: ChatGBT?
- 39:34Speaker 4: It must be ChatGBT because he's.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Just talking to it. It's pretty fucking amazing. I will
- 39:39Speaker 2: go out there and say I know that at some
- 39:41Speaker 2: point it will turn on us and the world will end.
- 39:43Speaker 4: I've accepted it.
- 39:44Speaker 2: I've accepted it.
- 39:45Speaker 1: It makes me so depressed.
- 39:47Speaker 4: You can be depressed or you can accept it.
- 39:49Speaker 1: I know, but I think about our kids.
- 39:51Speaker 4: Just get on with it. What was your attitude about this?
- 39:55Speaker 4: You're like, oh, just pain. It's fine. I'm fine with pain.
- 39:57Speaker 4: It is. But someone telling me it's important for me.
- 40:00Speaker 2: I don't know. It's the end of the world we're
- 40:02Speaker 2: talking about. It's probably valid to be concerned. But we
- 40:05Speaker 2: can't fight these billionaire oligarchs.
- 40:07Speaker 4: That is a great word.
- 40:09Speaker 2: I know, isn't it?
- 40:10Speaker 4: Who gave you that? That's a nana word. No, that's Laura.
- 40:14Speaker 2: No, it's a nana.
- 40:15Speaker 3: Nana.
- 40:15Speaker 2: They're oligarchs.
- 40:17Speaker 1: It is a good word. The thing I don't understand
- 40:20Speaker 1: about AI, though, is that if there was a country
- 40:23Speaker 1: coming to invade that was going to wipe out 90%
- 40:27Speaker 1: of the population.
- 40:28Speaker 4: Sure.
- 40:28Speaker 1: We would stop them.
- 40:29Speaker 3: I can answer that question for you right now.
- 40:30Speaker 1: Money.
- 40:31Speaker 4: No, it's something to shoot at.
- 40:32Speaker 5: Or a disease.
- 40:33Speaker 3: If there was a disease coming.
- 40:34Speaker 4: There'd be physical people to shoot at.
- 40:35Speaker 1: If there was a disease coming, they would stop it.
- 40:37Speaker 1: Because people are making too much money.
- 40:38Speaker 2: People are making too much money. Anyway, we're going to
- 40:39Speaker 2: go down a rabbit hole.
- 40:40Speaker 1: What's the point in having money if we are dead?
- 40:41Speaker 2: People are like, oh, the bloody podcast has put their alfoil.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Hats on again. You never know, though. You never know.
- 40:45Speaker 3: One day you can turn around and we all just
- 40:47Speaker 3: have all this money.
- 40:48Speaker 2: You don't know. No, they're not going to. Let's be honest.
- 40:51Speaker 2: They're like all those fucking Pokemon questions.
- 40:53Speaker 3: I know.
- 40:54Speaker 4: We can't handle it anymore. Smite that kid first.
- 40:58Speaker 2: My kids love it because they love it for stories.
- 41:00Speaker 2: That's good. My story is now a shithouse. I do
- 41:04Speaker 2: a made-up story and they're like, can you just ask ChatGPT?
- 41:07Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh.
- 41:08Speaker 4: That hurts.
- 41:09Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, I'm like, do you want to cuddle? Like, no,
- 41:11Speaker 2: we just want to say goodnight to ChatGPT.
- 41:12Speaker 4: You're telling that you're an author?
- 41:14Speaker 2: I did, but now I have to tell Marley that
- 41:16Speaker 2: it sucks up the water. Every time you ask a question,
- 41:19Speaker 2: it like takes away a tree. It does.
- 41:21Speaker 3: That's what I don't understand about all this stuff. They're like,
- 41:23Speaker 3: do you know how much water it uses? It's like,
- 41:25Speaker 3: I have not once, it's not once shown me any water.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Fucking hell.
- 41:31Speaker 1: It's to cool the cooling systems.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 41:33Speaker 4: All right, all right, all right. I was just waiting
- 41:35Speaker 4: for the water to come out.
- 41:36Speaker 2: I was just waiting for a glass of water.
- 41:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to say the water is scarce
- 41:41Speaker 3: around here.
- 41:41Speaker 2: A little thirsty.
- 41:43Speaker 1: That is a good parenting hack, though. I've started to
- 41:45Speaker 1: do that with Lily and Lily, and they love it
- 41:47Speaker 1: because it comes up with such a great little adventure.
- 41:50Speaker 1: We did one about ninjas, and then they just pissed
- 41:52Speaker 1: themselves laughing about Lily's ninja weapon was a banana. Which
- 41:56Speaker 1: ChatGPT came up with.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Clever.
- 41:57Speaker 1: I'm like, bravo.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Oh, no, that's very good. It is good.
- 42:01Speaker 4: Like I said, I've accepted that it's going to kill me.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Marley was recording a song and she was like, here
- 42:06Speaker 2: are some vocals, Dad, and just put it in the ChatGPT.
- 42:09Speaker 4: So casual.
- 42:10Speaker 2: This is the original. Baby, oh, I just think you're crazy,
- 42:15Speaker 2: but you make me so lazy.
- 42:17Speaker 5: Oh, so lazy.
- 42:19Speaker 2: When I look up into the sky, yeah, you just
- 42:23Speaker 2: say goodbye.
- 42:25Speaker 3: Yeah, goodbye.
- 42:27Speaker 2: Right? Good, right?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Very good.
- 42:29Speaker 4: Put your fucking hands up. That's very good.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Watch out, Ariana Grande.
- 42:32Speaker 2: That's good. And then I said.
- 42:34Speaker 4: Wait, that was the original.
- 42:35Speaker 2: That was the original.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Marley, that was very good.
- 42:41Speaker 1: You should do a pep song for her netball that
- 42:43Speaker 1: she can listen to.
- 42:43Speaker 3: Don't show that to Sony without getting any money first.
- 42:46Speaker 1: You know how Ash did it with Oscar's soccer team
- 42:49Speaker 1: and then I did it with Louis.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Rugby team?
- 42:50Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. You make it like a pump-up song. But
- 42:54Speaker 4: Marley's lyrics.
- 42:54Speaker 3: That'd be cool.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Where did you do that in? Suno.
- 42:57Speaker 1: You can go to Suno and create a song. You
- 43:00Speaker 1: just have to put in the lyrics and the vibe
- 43:02Speaker 1: of the song and then it'll create a song for you.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Fun hack for parents out there.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Hang on. I'll just play the....
- 43:08Speaker 3: Can I also just say what ChatGPT is really good at?
- 43:10Speaker 2: GPT. ChatGPT.
- 43:12Speaker 4: What ChatGPT?
- 43:14Speaker 3: What it's really good for is... If you're traveling and
- 43:17Speaker 3: you type in where you are and what time and
- 43:20Speaker 3: you're like, well, what can we do at around this time?
- 43:22Speaker 3: It literally gives you a schedule if you want to
- 43:24Speaker 3: follow it, which is pretty cool. If you're like, I'm
- 43:26Speaker 3: interested in this, this, this, when can I do it?
- 43:28Speaker 4: That's cool. What time is it open? How much is it?
- 43:30Speaker 2: Okay.
- 43:31Speaker 4: And give you a full breakdown.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Chat GBT, it is amazing, except when it comes to
- 43:36Speaker 2: making songs. So we did the vocals and I was like,
- 43:38Speaker 2: let's put it in Chat GBT and see what it
- 43:40Speaker 2: comes out with. And Marley was so excited. She was like,
- 43:43Speaker 2: fuck yeah, let's go.
- 43:44Speaker 4: And it was like rendering.
- 43:46Speaker 2: Almost there, like 50%. She was like, I can't wait.
- 43:49Speaker 2: It's going to be amazing. And then it came out
- 43:51Speaker 2: with this.
- 43:54Speaker 3: Oh, I just think you're crazy, but you make me
- 43:57Speaker 3: so lazy.
- 43:59Speaker 5: Oh, I'm so lazy. When I look up into the sky, yeah,
- 44:05Speaker 5: you just say goodbye. Yeah, goodbye.
- 44:10Speaker 4: Yeah, Jeff, your video was lazy that day.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Yeah, not enough water left.
- 44:14Speaker 1: What I learned when I made the song was ChatGP
- 44:17Speaker 1: doesn't have audio features.
- 44:19Speaker 2: Clearly.
- 44:20Speaker 4: So Suno.
- 44:21Speaker 3: Suno.
- 44:22Speaker 1: Can you send me that song and I will quickly
- 44:24Speaker 1: make one up for you?
- 44:24Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, do it.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Like right now?
- 44:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 44:26Speaker 4: Is that quick? Yeah.
- 44:28Speaker 2: So good.
- 44:28Speaker 1: What sort of vibe would you like for this song?
- 44:30Speaker 4: Anything poppy. Yeah, I think it's a great song.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Did you write those lyrics?
- 44:36Speaker 3: Yeah. Wow. I got Macy a, it's a frozen digital camera,
- 44:39Speaker 3: like the frozen thing. from Singapore and it's like got
- 44:42Speaker 3: like a little SD card but the photos it's like
- 44:45Speaker 3: such a bad call but all I hear now is
- 44:47Speaker 3: because it takes a yeah yeah yeah it's like noxiously
- 44:51Speaker 3: loud and she's like the battery's dead I'm like that's
- 44:55Speaker 3: because you've taken 2,000 photos anything and everything I was
- 44:59Speaker 3: like I saw sleep I was pretending to be asleep
- 45:01Speaker 3: this morning and I hear this I look over.
- 45:04Speaker 4: And I'm like do you mind.
- 45:06Speaker 1: So they give you a few options so you can
- 45:08Speaker 1: choose this is the first option Better be good. What?
- 45:11Speaker 5: That sounds like Zara Lawson. I saw Zara Lawson on
- 45:16Speaker 5: the weekend. Oh, my God!
- 45:38Speaker 4: You take that back to Marley right away.
- 45:40Speaker 5: Turn it up!
- 45:49Speaker 2: It gets better and better.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Okay, that's one option. Here's another one.
- 46:01Speaker 4: Can we get a grunge?
- 46:02Speaker 1: Yeah, you can.
- 46:04Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Is that just all her lyrics?
- 46:05Speaker 5: Look at Big producing. Producer Big? It's a pretty.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Good go. Put your fucking hands up.
- 46:15Speaker 4: And then this is the third one.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Oh, no, that was the original.
- 46:29Speaker 3: You know when it's like T-Pain without autotune.
- 46:33Speaker 5: That was great.
- 46:33Speaker 2: Can you send me those?
- 46:35Speaker 4: That's good. Oh, I'm just going to get a big
- 46:37Speaker 4: head with that.
- 46:37Speaker 2: I know.
- 46:38Speaker 4: Oh, God.
- 46:39Speaker 2: I'm like, be careful because we have to save the
- 46:41Speaker 2: water from AI. And now I'm just like, let's make
- 46:44Speaker 2: 20,000 songs in a day.
- 46:46Speaker 3: We're going for a drought, kids.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Do you want to hear a grunge version?
- 46:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to hear grunge.
- 46:51Speaker 2: Please be good. That was. That's sensational.
- 46:54Speaker 4: I saw Zara Larsson. I forgot to tell you, I
- 46:56Speaker 4: saw Zara Larsson on the weekend. Last weekend. Weekend before
- 46:58Speaker 4: when I was in Singapore. She played at F1.
- 47:00Speaker 2: How was she?
- 47:01Speaker 3: She was safe for about two seconds of one song.
- 47:03Speaker 1: Nice.
- 47:04Speaker 3: Honestly, so many teeny boppers like go to the F1
- 47:07Speaker 3: for that.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Here we.
- 47:11Speaker 5: Go.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Not for me.
- 47:15Speaker 3: Paramore.
- 47:21Speaker 4: Very Paramore.
- 47:27Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 47:29Speaker 2: I want that one.
- 47:31Speaker 4: That's my favorite one.
- 47:31Speaker 3: That's a little hectic for the mornings.
- 47:33Speaker 4: I love that one.
- 47:34Speaker 1: But I'm sure there's a way you can use her
- 47:37Speaker 1: audio in it.
- 47:37Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
- 47:38Speaker 1: But it's such a good little hack.
- 47:40Speaker 4: What's the app called?
- 47:41Speaker 3: Suno.com.
- 47:42Speaker 2: Suno.
- 47:42Speaker 1: And you can join for free.
- 47:44Speaker 5: It's so fun.
- 47:45Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm positive that it's absolutely skimming all my
- 47:49Speaker 2: data and in a couple of years' time, it'll hack
- 47:51Speaker 2: into my bank account, take all my money, and I'll
- 47:53Speaker 2: be like, what?
- 47:54Speaker 4: I've accepted it.
- 47:55Speaker 2: And all I'll have is these fucking songs being like.
- 47:57Speaker 1: But for now it's so fun.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 47:58Speaker 4: I know, for now. I'm not worried about the future.
- 48:00Speaker 4: I'm worried about now.
- 48:01Speaker 2: Hey, just really quickly, one quick story before we go.
- 48:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 48:05Speaker 2: I need to thank my wife.
- 48:07Speaker 4: Go on.
- 48:07Speaker 2: She's a hero. Okay.
- 48:08Speaker 4: She's a hero. Again, the airport too.
- 48:10Speaker 2: She didn't help me in the airport scenario. That was
- 48:13Speaker 2: the Jetstar employee.
- 48:14Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that's right.
- 48:15Speaker 3: Actually, forget about it.
- 48:16Speaker 2: So there are some jobs that I just will not do.
- 48:19Speaker 4: Righto.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Yeah, you bloody pussy.
- 48:23Speaker 4: Yeah, you fucking coward.
- 48:29Speaker 2: Vic, are you drinking a VB?
- 48:31Speaker 4: I am.
- 48:32Speaker 2: What of it, cunt?
- 48:33Speaker 4: She's like.
- 48:35Speaker 3: I love a ginger beer.
- 48:36Speaker 4: Shut up and get on with it.
- 48:38Speaker 2: So I've kind of fallen into the role of wiping
- 48:41Speaker 2: Lola's bottom, which, like, it's nice because this is the
- 48:44Speaker 2: only time I'm allowed to get, like, have time with
- 48:47Speaker 2: her one-on-one.
- 48:48Speaker 4: Wipe my shit.
- 48:49Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 48:49Speaker 4: Desperate times.
- 48:50Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'll take it. Yes, honey! Thank you
- 48:53Speaker 2: so much. And it's sad because it's true. LAUGHTER But
- 49:00Speaker 2: she was playing with a ring. So she's put the
- 49:02Speaker 2: ring on the floor and then she's also been like, Dad,
- 49:05Speaker 2: I'm ready. And I'm like, coming, master.
- 49:06Speaker 4: Come and wipe my ring.
- 49:07Speaker 1: It wasn't like a Tony May ring.
- 49:12Speaker 6: Was it?
- 49:12Speaker 2: No, it was like a little cheapy ring. Gotcha. So
- 49:14Speaker 2: it was Tony May.
- 49:15Speaker 4: Oh! I didn't want to say it.
- 49:20Speaker 2: So then I'm wiping Lola's bum and then there's like
- 49:24Speaker 2: job done. Normally it's like a one wipe scenario with Lola.
- 49:27Speaker 2: She's nice and clean. And then I get the ring
- 49:29Speaker 2: and I, you know, my bathroom downstairs, behind the bathroom
- 49:33Speaker 2: is that little ledge. Which one?
- 49:34Speaker 5: Oh, God, shut up.
- 49:35Speaker 1: There's only one downstairs.
- 49:37Speaker 4: That we know of.
- 49:39Speaker 2: So I go to lob the ring onto the ledge
- 49:42Speaker 2: that's behind the toilet and it bounces, ricochets off the
- 49:47Speaker 2: back wall, up in the air, straight down, plumb in
- 49:51Speaker 2: the middle of the toilet bowl.
- 49:53Speaker 4: Into the poop.
- 49:54Speaker 2: Into the poo. And Lola was like.
- 50:00Speaker 2: I give you one job, you fucking idiot. And I
- 50:04Speaker 2: was like, I'm so sorry.
- 50:05Speaker 4: She's like, get it.
- 50:06Speaker 2: And I was like, ah.
- 50:07Speaker 1: Get it.
- 50:08Speaker 2: And I went to get it.
- 50:08Speaker 4: Get it.
- 50:09Speaker 2: I went to get the tongs and Laura's like, you're
- 50:11Speaker 2: not using the tongs. I think she got chopsticks. But
- 50:15Speaker 2: I couldn't.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Chopsticks is clever.
- 50:17Speaker 2: Because it had sunk because obviously it's metal. The poo
- 50:20Speaker 2: was floating so it was then hidden below. It was
- 50:23Speaker 2: like a swampy shit.
- 50:24Speaker 4: You could chopstick the poo out of it.
- 50:26Speaker 6: Oh, God.
- 50:27Speaker 1: You're not going to show us a video. Oh, you're
- 50:28Speaker 1: going to video?
- 50:29Speaker 3: Yes.
- 50:29Speaker 5: No.
- 50:30Speaker 1: I don't want to see poo.
- 50:32Speaker 2: You won't see poo.
- 50:34Speaker 3: Can you.
- 50:39Speaker 6: Get it?
- 50:40Speaker 4: Chopsticks were brown.
- 50:41Speaker 3: Oh, God.
- 50:44Speaker 4: Oh, the things you do for your kids, eh?
- 50:47Speaker 3: I would have flushed that bad boy so fucking quick. Also,
- 50:50Speaker 3: in China, she would have been critiqued for a chopstick
- 50:52Speaker 3: usage there.
- 50:54Speaker 4: China guy over here. But can I say, I would
- 50:56Speaker 4: have just flushed.
- 50:56Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 50:58Speaker 4: Right, yeah.
- 50:59Speaker 2: She's what a woman. I married the right one.
- 51:01Speaker 4: That is hero material.
- 51:02Speaker 3: It is.
- 51:02Speaker 1: It definitely is. I do have a question about the
- 51:04Speaker 1: bum wiping, though. What age can they definitely do it
- 51:08Speaker 1: by themselves? Because I feel like Louis should be doing it,
- 51:11Speaker 1: but he's the same age as Lola, so.
- 51:13Speaker 2: I think grade one.
- 51:14Speaker 6: Okay.
- 51:14Speaker 2: Grade one, because I'm worried that when it comes time
- 51:17Speaker 2: to do it at school, if they are so used
- 51:19Speaker 2: to me doing it and they have to do it
- 51:21Speaker 2: at school, then it's a conundrum.
- 51:23Speaker 3: Can I say, and I don't want to sound like
- 51:25Speaker 3: a jerk here.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 51:27Speaker 3: I don't remember the last time I had one of
- 51:29Speaker 3: my kids bumps.
- 51:30Speaker 2: Sad.
- 51:30Speaker 3: Macy? Yeah, mate, she's been great. Like both kids great.
- 51:34Speaker 3: Why didn't her father?
- 51:35Speaker 2: She didn't barely talk.
- 51:36Speaker 4: Except for that one time.
- 51:37Speaker 1: She got it all up her back.
- 51:38Speaker 3: That was the first time because she had the runs
- 51:39Speaker 3: and she never had. Just saying. I remember having to
- 51:44Speaker 3: do it when they were younger, but then there came
- 51:46Speaker 3: a time and we just both, April and I, I don't.
- 51:49Speaker 3: Every now and then you've got to go, you see
- 51:51Speaker 3: like a little skiddy in Oscar's undies and like, hey,
- 51:53Speaker 3: it's not bad.
- 51:54Speaker 4: Hey, you little shit. Was your butthole itchy? But I'm like,
- 51:57Speaker 4: make sure you wipe it. Wipe it properly. And that's
- 52:01Speaker 4: about it.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Louis used this morning, I would say, half a toilet roll.
- 52:05Speaker 1: And he gets like his big clump, does one wipe,
- 52:09Speaker 1: and then chucks through the toilet.
- 52:10Speaker 5: He needs a lesson. I looked at it. I was like,
- 52:12Speaker 5: you're going to clog the toilet.
- 52:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 52:15Speaker 4: But he won't listen.
- 52:15Speaker 1: He's like, this is the way I like to do it.
- 52:17Speaker 6: Fair.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're doing it.
- 52:18Speaker 2: The wrong way.
- 52:19Speaker 4: I really want a bidet.
- 52:21Speaker 3: So bad.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Guys, we've got to get out of here.
