- 5:09Speaker 3: it's like a holiday camp style, great for boys.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Because it's just continual sport all day.
- 5:15Speaker 3: It just so happens to My cousin actually has a
- 5:18Speaker 3: few franchises of it, mainly at West but they've acquired
- 5:23Speaker 3: the Northern Beaches one and said hey, the registration's open
- 5:26Speaker 3: here and gave us the heads up.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Oscar went two days last week. Bro. He has not
- 5:29Speaker 2: shut up about it.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Really amazing what they just so they do into a
- 5:34Speaker 3: poll and just say run pretty much pretty much. No,
- 5:37Speaker 3: they do it at a big oval usually because there's
- 5:40Speaker 3: so many different activities.
- 5:41Speaker 2: But the setup it was like something out of Wipeout
- 5:44Speaker 2: that show Wipeout.
- 5:45Speaker 3: And they have all these things and then like they said, oh,
- 5:48Speaker 3: make sure you pack a towel and the change of
- 5:49Speaker 3: clothes because we'll it'll be a hot day.
- 5:51Speaker 2: We're going to do like a wet activity as well.
- 5:54Speaker 3: This was at a high school around the corner from us,
- 5:56Speaker 3: and they had it decked out and like Oscar's face up, bro,
- 6:00Speaker 3: Like there was basketball, soccer, everything. So they spend the
- 6:03Speaker 3: whole day, you know, when you're like a bit apprehensive,
- 6:06Speaker 3: was like, how many people are here to actually orchestrate this?
- 6:09Speaker 2: Mate? The staff?
- 6:10Speaker 3: That's so much staff and they were all young, sprightly,
- 6:13Speaker 3: ready to rock and roll.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Oscar was raving about it.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I don't remember having access to this type of activity
- 6:18Speaker 1: when I was younger.
- 6:18Speaker 3: They write, like, you what your number is on your hand?
- 6:22Speaker 3: He refuses to wash his hand because he's like, that's
- 6:24Speaker 3: my number for this. I don't want to give up
- 6:27Speaker 3: my number like two six six or something.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, and you're like sure, okay, yeah, but.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Like I had a great time.
- 6:34Speaker 3: He was actually exhausted because you know what, he's like
- 6:36Speaker 3: he's killing but he got home and he was like,
- 6:39Speaker 3: oh man.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Who, I'm got tough day work.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Yeah, so shout out to the team and motivate.
- 6:45Speaker 1: It's a real roll of the dice.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Yeah, like this one trumps the school one, but the
- 6:48Speaker 2: school one does the best they can.
- 6:50Speaker 1: This morning, dropping the kids off, they were just like
- 6:53Speaker 1: again really and I was like yeah yeah. And then
- 6:58Speaker 1: we've got a quick rule in our house, no complaining
- 7:01Speaker 1: the girls that and also the girls can't wear crop
- 7:04Speaker 1: tops not to school. This free dress. Marley loves to
- 7:09Speaker 1: wear like a little tiny top and have a belly out,
- 7:12Speaker 1: and we just said, oh, you know, if you're going
- 7:13Speaker 1: to school, you gotta wear a T shirt like long sleeves.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fair.
- 7:16Speaker 1: And she just had a level five meltdown over off
- 7:21Speaker 1: the bat, and I was trying to think, you know,
- 7:22Speaker 1: Jen Mua, is it about the top? What's really the
- 7:25Speaker 1: problem here? And I was like palms out, being like,
- 7:29Speaker 1: what's the problem?
- 7:30Speaker 2: Try everything in the book?
- 7:31Speaker 1: Can we make this easier? And she was like I
- 7:33Speaker 1: fucking hate you. And I was like, I understand, it's
- 7:37Speaker 1: too late. I was like in my head trying to calculate,
- 7:40Speaker 1: like what level are we at? But then I was
- 7:42Speaker 1: thinking to myself, what do I do here, ash? Do
- 7:44Speaker 1: I just let her wear the top or do I
- 7:47Speaker 1: do I put my foot down and let her know
- 7:49Speaker 1: the boundaries? And this is when that can't be crossed.
- 7:51Speaker 1: And I was like, where do I stand on this?
- 7:54Speaker 3: Oh, there's got to be a happy medium where it's like,
- 7:56Speaker 3: here's a nice shirt that's not cropped.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Okay, well i'll tell you what the happy media was.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was just me being like, take up
- 8:02Speaker 1: the fucking top.
- 8:03Speaker 2: That's exactly what I mean, That's exactly what I mean.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Look, I think maybe too young for that, Like you
- 8:09Speaker 3: don't want to halt their own dress code where it's
- 8:11Speaker 3: kind of like they want to dress who they are.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Well, I just said, you've got so many close to
- 8:16Speaker 1: choose from, for sure, just pick one that is just
- 8:18Speaker 1: a T shirt. Pick a T shirt. And she just
- 8:20Speaker 1: wanted to have this crop top. And I was also like,
- 8:24Speaker 1: I'm not going to reward her having a meltdown and
- 8:26Speaker 1: hitting me and screaming at me saying she hates me.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I'm not going to reward that by saying Okay, you
- 8:29Speaker 1: can't wear the top. So then it was just it
- 8:32Speaker 1: was just me and her in the standoff, and then
- 8:35Speaker 1: I'd let her cool down, like cool not Deafcon five,
- 8:39Speaker 1: deaf Con three, pop my head in the room, and
- 8:41Speaker 1: she'd be like, fuck you you are, so back up
- 8:43Speaker 1: to five.
- 8:43Speaker 2: I've got a solution, go on. I've just thought of this.
- 8:46Speaker 2: It's groundbreaking.
- 8:47Speaker 3: You should wear a crop top and take her and
- 8:50Speaker 3: drop her off in your crop top.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I think she'd think that's hilarious.
- 8:54Speaker 2: I thought.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I've seen dads do this on social media where they
- 8:56Speaker 1: like meet their daughters out in like and they're wearing
- 9:00Speaker 1: they're like active where I think Marley would just be like, look.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Great, actually that's dam thank you. You're just gonna start
- 9:08Speaker 3: walking around with the crop top on all the time now?
- 9:10Speaker 1: Man. It was it was a solid hour just me
- 9:13Speaker 1: and Marley just like and then I was trying to
- 9:15Speaker 1: brush her hair and she's like, don't touch me.
- 9:18Speaker 2: I put up with that sort of stuff in my house, bro,
- 9:19Speaker 2: and just.
- 9:20Speaker 1: What do you? What do you do? It was one
- 9:22Speaker 1: of those mornings when.
- 9:23Speaker 2: You stood your ground. That's all you can do. Really, Yeah,
- 9:26Speaker 2: there's not a whole.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Lot more you can do it. Like I think, like, well,
- 9:30Speaker 3: let me ask you this is the grud drover? Is
- 9:31Speaker 3: that is the is the grud match over?
- 9:33Speaker 2: Now?
- 9:34Speaker 1: I'm sure when I pick her up it to be
- 9:35Speaker 1: complete if we got that out. But it was just
- 9:36Speaker 1: a solid hour me and her button heads locked in
- 9:41Speaker 1: a clash when no one was willing to back down.
- 9:43Speaker 3: And I think it's good that you didn't enable it.
- 9:45Speaker 3: That's where it starts, right, But do.
- 9:47Speaker 1: You know what, I don't know if you forget this,
- 9:49Speaker 1: and this is unfair, but Laura was out the door
- 9:51Speaker 1: really early this morning. She was gone at six thirty,
- 9:54Speaker 1: and I found myself being really resentful at Laura, Oh,
- 9:58Speaker 1: being like I've got to deal with this because you're
- 10:02Speaker 1: at work, and obviously she's working, she's earning money. But like,
- 10:05Speaker 1: I think there's an argument to say that it is
- 10:07Speaker 1: easier to be at work than it is to deal
- 10:11Speaker 1: with a child where you're both screaming at each other
- 10:13Speaker 1: and you're copying. I hate you. You're a bad dad.
- 10:15Speaker 1: This is the worst day of my life. I would
- 10:17Speaker 1: rather go to work and write an email or like
- 10:20Speaker 1: host a TV show then be face to face with
- 10:22Speaker 1: an hour of that.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like, if you're going to work and
- 10:25Speaker 3: someone's yelling at you're and screaming at you're like a
- 10:27Speaker 3: five year old.
- 10:27Speaker 2: It's probably the wrong place to work. I agree you
- 10:29Speaker 2: would leave that place, but you can't just leave. You
- 10:31Speaker 2: can be like you know what, fucking see yah.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Because then Laura wrote to me and said, I think
- 10:36Speaker 1: I'm going to we're behind schedule. I'm going to be late. Oh,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and I said, We're no surprise there, because I'm just
- 10:42Speaker 1: and the resentment's just creeping out. I'm like, oh, I'm
- 10:45Speaker 1: in such a shit headspace, especially.
- 10:46Speaker 3: If you've got a tiny human yelling at you. That
- 10:48Speaker 3: always escalates the inconvenience of like, I'm already on my
- 10:52Speaker 3: own here outnumbered, And then it's like, well, it must
- 10:55Speaker 3: be nice for someone else, like your partner, to be
- 10:57Speaker 3: off not getting yelled at totally, and then you like
- 11:00Speaker 3: you're thinking about that, and then you get yelled out
- 11:02Speaker 3: again and you're like, for Fox, say.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I don't know one thing I noticed, don'tly normally happened.
- 11:06Speaker 1: But after that little argument with Marley, stomach like it's
- 11:11Speaker 1: really noted up, Like I was really like, yeah, I was.
- 11:15Speaker 1: My nervous system was.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Like on edge because you felt it really.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Trying to just not shout don't raise your voice and
- 11:22Speaker 1: that for an hour like afterwards, I was like, man,
- 11:25Speaker 1: I'm I need to let something out. And then unfortunate
- 11:28Speaker 1: Lauda was like, hey, by the way, I'm going to
- 11:30Speaker 1: be really late coming home on line, and I was
- 11:33Speaker 1: just like, I need to release something somehow.
- 11:36Speaker 2: It's tough, isn't it. It's never It's not easy.
- 11:38Speaker 1: Also, shout out to the single parents.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I don't know how they do it.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it.
- 11:43Speaker 2: I suppose you you sort of.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Get used to it in a way that you're like
- 11:46Speaker 3: like a muscle memory, right, You're like, Okay, well it's
- 11:49Speaker 3: probably hard. Yes I'm not saying it's not hard. But
- 11:52Speaker 3: then you're normal, it's their normal, and you're sort of
- 11:55Speaker 3: you're like, well this is just how it is, and
- 11:56Speaker 3: your your brain and your muscle memory becomes so like
- 11:59Speaker 3: all right, well I just hear on my own now.
- 12:00Speaker 1: But when your teammate's taken away, they're like, oh.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Why, like ah, just getting yelled at all the time.
- 12:06Speaker 1: That's the thought that's in my head of my just
- 12:08Speaker 1: think there's there's moms and dads out there doing the solo. Yeah,
- 12:12Speaker 1: shut up and get on with it. Matt look in
- 12:13Speaker 1: the mirror like god.
- 12:15Speaker 3: I honestly, I'll try not raise my voice, but fuck,
- 12:20Speaker 3: it works like Oscar having a meltdown, maybe having a meltdown.
- 12:24Speaker 3: I'll try and understand. But if they're like not, Ash
- 12:28Speaker 3: past that, Like Jen says, thirty percent of the time,
- 12:31Speaker 3: I'm jumping straight into that seventy percent, I'm just I'm
- 12:35Speaker 3: just bellowing.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Anyway. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. But hopefully when
- 12:38Speaker 2: you pick her up, she gives you. We cuddle on,
- 12:40Speaker 2: we move on.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Hey, I got some good news for you.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Well, it's all coming up me, Ash.

- 14:27Speaker 2: We are moving to a new space, Matthew.
- 14:30Speaker 1: We teased it in the Facebook group.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Yeah, we we just needed our own space that we
- 14:35Speaker 3: could create and bring you more episodes and more fun.
- 14:38Speaker 3: And we have found a spot which in May we
- 14:41Speaker 3: will start to construct it.
- 14:43Speaker 2: We will keep you updated.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Someone did say in the Facebook group, they're like, what
- 14:46Speaker 1: a fucking waste the money? Why would you do that?
- 14:48Speaker 1: I was like, where else are we going to record with?
- 14:50Speaker 1: Just on the least, So it's we want to get
- 14:53Speaker 1: right now.
- 14:53Speaker 3: Three years we've been recording at our houses, being inconvenient
- 14:56Speaker 3: for everyone else, and then also having like although run
- 14:59Speaker 3: is dead now, having like noise complaints and all sorts
- 15:02Speaker 3: of things.
- 15:03Speaker 2: And then we finally think.
- 15:04Speaker 3: You know what, Originally we thought we couldn't afford it,
- 15:06Speaker 3: then we realized how cheap it was.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Yeah, actually pretty affordable.
- 15:09Speaker 2: So we've got five offices and it.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Feels like it's a big step in.
- 15:14Speaker 2: We're moving in together. That's what it feels like. Yeah,
- 15:18Speaker 2: I know we're going to have a housewarming, an office warming.
- 15:21Speaker 1: It's pretty small.
- 15:23Speaker 2: It's actually bigger than I was expected.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It's nothing flash, It's like not.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Yet, it's not Matt View. The sky's a limit. Like
- 15:29Speaker 2: I said, we could do anything we want in there
- 15:31Speaker 2: so many.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Activities we're currently debating whether we have a I've thrown
- 15:35Speaker 1: out the idea of couches, I said, simulator ash one simulators,
- 15:39Speaker 1: but we've always had a table. Do we want to
- 15:41Speaker 1: keep the table set up or do we go couches?
- 15:43Speaker 2: Tables? Tables make Yeah, I feel like it's more formal, assertive, assertive. Yeah,
- 15:50Speaker 2: I like it. So we'll keep you posted on the
- 15:52Speaker 2: progress we are.
- 15:53Speaker 1: We're going to do a little like Renno of the
- 15:54Speaker 1: studio we are, so stay tuned.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Yeah, trading.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Dad's getting a couple of calls, that's for sure, because
- 15:59Speaker 3: we don't really.
- 16:01Speaker 2: We'll give it a go anyway.
- 16:02Speaker 1: What do you mean you've just done all the flowing
- 16:03Speaker 1: in your house? By the way, is that finished? No
- 16:05Speaker 1: fucking out.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Don't tell everyone's starting another project.
- 16:12Speaker 2: She doesn't know anything.
- 16:14Speaker 1: All these materials and tools will rock up at your
- 16:16Speaker 1: place and she'd be like, thank god.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Stop here I start. Yeah, I'm just taking on a
- 16:21Speaker 2: whole new job. That's only job. My career now is
- 16:23Speaker 2: just Andy Man breaking news, Matt.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Breaking news from the good Giggler in the background of
- 16:30Speaker 1: the studio. People love your giggles.
- 16:33Speaker 2: I'm listening this morning. You just hear giggle in a way.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Sometimes when we don't get giggles, I'm like, oh, this
- 16:37Speaker 1: shit joke. Just try you see in the videos, I
- 16:43Speaker 1: like look over to Vick's corner and I'm like, anything,
- 16:46Speaker 1: give me something big news wise.
- 16:50Speaker 2: What have we got?
- 16:51Speaker 4: Well, I've got a more serious news story for today.
- 16:54Speaker 4: It's not the usual type you might have a chuckle over,
- 16:57Speaker 4: but it crossed my desk and I thought it was
- 16:58Speaker 4: a really important one. So I thought i'd bring.
- 17:00Speaker 2: It to you guys. I'll just see what you thought.
- 17:03Speaker 4: So The Humpty Dumpty Foundation is calling for urgent public
- 17:06Speaker 4: support as part of its national Pumped for Life Mother's
- 17:09Speaker 4: Day appeal, helping fund hospital grade breast pumps for neonatal
- 17:13Speaker 4: intensive care units and special care nurseries across Australia. Around
- 17:17Speaker 4: a one in five Australian babies require admission to a
- 17:20Speaker 4: NICU or special care nursery where specialized medical support is critical.
- 17:26Speaker 4: Hospital grade breast pumps are relied upon every day in
- 17:28Speaker 4: these units and are often shared between multiple families and mothers,
- 17:32Speaker 4: yet hospitals nationwide continue to report significant shortages.
- 17:37Speaker 3: They're the ones that Chris Hamsworth used to clean the
- 17:39Speaker 3: nipples in between uses.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Well there the hospital grade was what's going to be
- 17:43Speaker 1: really dumb here, Vic, what's the difference between an at
- 17:46Speaker 1: home breast pump.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Medella or whatever and one that's hospital grade.
- 17:50Speaker 4: The hospital grade ones are much higher quality. They can
- 17:53Speaker 4: get a lot more milk out at a faster rate
- 17:56Speaker 4: so that they can kind of move between mother to mother.
- 17:59Speaker 4: The one that you can just chuck on under your
- 18:01Speaker 4: bra they take a lot longer, they get less milk,
- 18:04Speaker 4: and the big hospital grade ones they're especially manufactured so
- 18:08Speaker 4: that there's less chance of infection and all sorts of
- 18:12Speaker 4: other things.
- 18:12Speaker 1: So I'm going to sound really dumb here, but when
- 18:17Speaker 1: it comes to the niko crib, who uses that?
- 18:20Speaker 4: What babies going to Niku?
- 18:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not premature babies.
- 18:24Speaker 4: It's a big one for premi babies, twins, any babies
- 18:27Speaker 4: that need extra special care.
- 18:29Speaker 1: And you used it with Lily.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Yeah, my little Lily boo.
- 18:33Speaker 1: And how did that come about? When did you realize
- 18:35Speaker 1: that that needed to be a service that you guys needed.
- 18:37Speaker 4: So day two we woke up after having her, and
- 18:40Speaker 4: Dan walked in the room and he's like, wow, Lily
- 18:42Speaker 4: looks really yellow. And the midwife was like, oh, yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 4: actually we probably should get that checked out.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Had you thought that Lily was a little bit yellow
- 18:52Speaker 1: or a little.
- 18:53Speaker 4: Bit, but like, I was so tired and drugged up
- 18:55Speaker 4: still I'd had a plan C section, so I still
- 18:58Speaker 4: had a lot of drugs pumping through my body. I
- 19:00Speaker 4: was in a lot of pain, and I couldn't really
- 19:01Speaker 4: see her properly because I was in the bed and
- 19:03Speaker 4: she was in the bassinete.
- 19:04Speaker 1: Next to me.
- 19:05Speaker 2: So you haven't known her that long.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Ash with the jokes, and so straight away they started
- 19:11Speaker 4: doing tests and they saw that her white blood cell
- 19:14Speaker 4: count was really high and she had very high levels
- 19:17Speaker 4: of jaundice, which is why she was yellow. But it
- 19:20Speaker 4: was actually the white blood cell count they were most
- 19:22Speaker 4: concerned about because that could mean serious infection or cancer.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Wow.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Yeah, Oscar was a little jaundi as well, but like
- 19:29Speaker 3: people just thought he was Mexican because she.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Was like quite olive. Yeah though he is. Yeah, but
- 19:35Speaker 2: he was really yellow. So we had to go on
- 19:37Speaker 2: to the there's a light.
- 19:38Speaker 4: Yeah, the Billie blue lights. So straight away they took
- 19:42Speaker 4: Lily and put her in a box with yeah, blue
- 19:45Speaker 4: lights all around and these gorgeous little goggles over her
- 19:47Speaker 4: eyes so to protect her eyes. And then they put
- 19:49Speaker 4: a drip in her hand so that they could start
- 19:51Speaker 4: getting some stuff to her straight away, antibiotics.
- 19:55Speaker 1: So yeah, so how was this being communicated to you
- 19:58Speaker 1: when you're in bed if you're still coming off the
- 20:01Speaker 1: drugs from the C section, are you kind of passive
- 20:04Speaker 1: as this is happening, or how is it being communicated
- 20:07Speaker 1: to you?
- 20:07Speaker 2: They were pretty good.
- 20:08Speaker 4: The doctors and the nurses in the special Key, you know,
- 20:11Speaker 4: are incredible, Like I can't fault them at all. They
- 20:14Speaker 4: were those the most supportive people. And that is where
- 20:18Speaker 4: these pumps were so important because they brought them in
- 20:21Speaker 4: so that I could start pumping milk because she was
- 20:25Speaker 4: in this little box and they had to be she
- 20:27Speaker 4: had to be bottle fed, and so the pump helped
- 20:30Speaker 4: me then bring my milk in because I couldn't feed,
- 20:33Speaker 4: and then it meant that she got that really good,
- 20:35Speaker 4: nutritious milk straight away from day two because I was
- 20:39Speaker 4: able to feed the day before. But yeah, from the
- 20:41Speaker 4: second day, we had to start bottlefeeding her, which as
- 20:44Speaker 4: a mother was like awful because I just wanted to
- 20:46Speaker 4: breastfeed her and I wanted her on me, and then
- 20:49Speaker 4: to have them feeding her. Yeah, it was really hard,
- 20:52Speaker 4: but I knew that I wanted to breastfeed, and so
- 20:54Speaker 4: this helped me make sure that I could and get
- 20:58Speaker 4: me going and make sure I could get lots of
- 21:00Speaker 4: elk ready for her, because they feed every two to
- 21:02Speaker 4: three hours, so you need to keep pumping milk as well.
- 21:04Speaker 3: I remember April used it because I mentioned it to
- 21:07Speaker 3: her and she was like, yeah, they were so much faster,
- 21:09Speaker 3: And like, depending on what the problem might be will
- 21:13Speaker 3: depend on how long you'll actually have to use it
- 21:15Speaker 3: if they're in the How long was Lily in.
- 21:16Speaker 2: The box for?
- 21:17Speaker 4: She was only in the box for like two maybe
- 21:20Speaker 4: three days, but we were in special care a bit
- 21:23Speaker 4: longer than that.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Two or three days would feel like forever. Though at
- 21:26Speaker 2: that stage, was it.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to think of our experience was different
- 21:31Speaker 1: because we had the luxury of just being able to
- 21:34Speaker 1: hold your baby straight away. So what's it like when
- 21:37Speaker 1: there's that barrier between being able to get tactile with
- 21:40Speaker 1: your newborn.
- 21:41Speaker 4: It's pretty awful. Yeah, I was. I felt like a
- 21:45Speaker 4: mother without a baby, and because Louis was home, like
- 21:50Speaker 4: I was just in bed by my self. Phoned and yeah,
- 21:54Speaker 4: Dan was minding Louis and then I was still recovering
- 21:58Speaker 4: from my surgery, so I couldn't even visit her, so
- 22:01Speaker 4: they found me a wheelchair, and then just seeing her
- 22:04Speaker 4: in the little box, it's just it's really awful, because,
- 22:08Speaker 4: as you said, you want your birth experience to be
- 22:11Speaker 4: really beautiful and like that golden out what they say
- 22:14Speaker 4: when they're on your chest. And I didn't get that
- 22:17Speaker 4: with Louis either because he was an emergency seek section
- 22:20Speaker 4: and I wasn't able to breastfeed him after eight weeks either.
- 22:23Speaker 4: So I was already like I had a little bit
- 22:25Speaker 4: of trauma from that, and so then I was like determined,
- 22:28Speaker 4: I really wanted to breastfeed Lily, So when this happened,
- 22:30Speaker 4: I was like, oh, please don't rip this away from
- 22:32Speaker 4: me as well. And so then eventually with the bottles
- 22:37Speaker 4: that she was getting, she was getting stronger. The antibiotics
- 22:40Speaker 4: she got worked straight away. The white blood cell count
- 22:43Speaker 4: came down straight away, so they were like, that's a
- 22:45Speaker 4: really good sign, there's no infection. It turned out that
- 22:48Speaker 4: her blood type and my blood type are opposite, and
- 22:52Speaker 4: as a result, that can have a really negative impact
- 22:55Speaker 4: on the baby's health when they come out, because there's
- 22:57Speaker 4: some sort of crossover or something that's crazy.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I'm just so sorry I had to go through that.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's it's hard because at the time you
- 23:04Speaker 4: don't know what you don't know, and you don't know
- 23:07Speaker 4: what's going to happen or what's going to happen to
- 23:09Speaker 4: this baby that you've just had and been carrying for
- 23:11Speaker 4: nine months. But in hindsight, I'm like, oh, I probably
- 23:14Speaker 4: got way more upset than I should have, because lots
- 23:16Speaker 4: of babies get jaundice and it's a really common thing
- 23:19Speaker 4: and the doctors were incredible at fixing that for her.
- 23:22Speaker 4: But at the time, yeah, not being able to hold
- 23:25Speaker 4: your newborn baby is the worst feeling in the world.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't think you should look at your
- 23:31Speaker 1: the way you reacted and the emotions that you still
- 23:33Speaker 1: hold inside. It's important not to think that you were overreacting,
- 23:36Speaker 1: because you probably look at Lily now and be like, oh,
- 23:39Speaker 1: she was fine, So I was getting worked up over nothing.
- 23:41Speaker 1: But I think it's important to still allow yourself to
- 23:44Speaker 1: be as upset as what you were.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:47Speaker 4: Well, it's funny because she's three now and obviously, like
- 23:50Speaker 4: that's still right on the surface, I'm getting upset.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I'm so sorry, but yeah, it's did.
- 23:56Speaker 4: A really important cause. So yeah, it's close to my heart,
- 23:58Speaker 4: such a good cause.
- 23:59Speaker 1: They need the money, I think, Ash, Yeah, well, let's
- 24:03Speaker 1: we've got some plush toys in storage.
- 24:06Speaker 3: We do in storage that I think that we could
- 24:10Speaker 3: sell to the listeners that all the money and all
- 24:12Speaker 3: the proceeds and that can go towards these breastpump machines
- 24:15Speaker 3: that can help so many mothers in this situation that
- 24:18Speaker 3: need to express pumps so that their baby can start
- 24:21Speaker 3: to feed, but also as well for them so they
- 24:22Speaker 3: can start to produce milk.
- 24:23Speaker 1: I think it's great. Vic. Do you know how many
- 24:25Speaker 1: we got in the warehouse.
- 24:26Speaker 4: We've got, like look at our office, We've got ninety
- 24:33Speaker 4: one toys in the warehouse.
- 24:35Speaker 1: We sell them for twenty bucks each. That will be
- 24:39Speaker 1: just shy of two thousand dollars. Yeah, so we'll give
- 24:41Speaker 1: all proceeds, all that money, the twenty bucks will give
- 24:44Speaker 1: that donated to.
- 24:45Speaker 2: The Humpty Dumpty Foundation.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Let's do that. So they'll be on our website, two
- 24:49Speaker 1: Doting Dads dot com. We'll put it in the show notes.
- 24:52Speaker 1: But if you buy that, just know that that money
- 24:54Speaker 1: is going to go to such an amazing cause and we'll.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Track some cash out it too, won't We to make
- 24:58Speaker 2: sure that the.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Amount is worthwhile and is contributing as much and as
- 25:03Speaker 3: best as possible.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Love that Vic amazing.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Thank you so much for sharing that story.
- 25:07Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, appreciate it.
- 25:08Speaker 3: Sorry forgetting to you, matt Big weekend for the Wix's
- 25:15Speaker 3: just gone, huge, huge weekend.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Specifically Saturday, Oscar started soccer all the Narrow Beans Naran Vipers.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty sick name, very cool outfit, so cool, all
- 25:30Speaker 3: black black with it's got it like a white, black
- 25:33Speaker 3: and white stripe on the front.
- 25:34Speaker 2: But yeah, he's fully cuted out.
- 25:36Speaker 3: So he made his debut for the Vipers, and I
- 25:39Speaker 3: will say it's just a success.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Matthew.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Can I just remind the listeners the Dodors that Ash
- 25:44Speaker 1: was once semi professional.
- 25:47Speaker 2: The torch has been passed on, but now I feel
- 25:50Speaker 2: like I want to play again.
- 25:51Speaker 1: A lot of high expectations, a lot of pressure on
- 25:53Speaker 1: the little shoulders of Oscar Wicks.
- 25:55Speaker 3: And he handled it magnificently. First game, it was an
- 25:58Speaker 3: away game, the further the spot from where we are
- 26:01Speaker 3: in the local area.
- 26:02Speaker 1: What's suburb Mossman's lovely.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Oh you would say that, mister three or four houses.
- 26:09Speaker 2: You know, they let the hill Billies in to play soccer.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Pretty much.
- 26:13Speaker 1: That's how it felt for anyone outside of New South Wales.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Mossman is a very.
- 26:17Speaker 3: Affluent It's like one of the most affluent areas in
- 26:21Speaker 3: I think it was worked out to be. To buy
- 26:23Speaker 3: a square meter in Mossman is forty four thousand dollars
- 26:26Speaker 3: one square meter.
- 26:27Speaker 1: It's lovely that.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Yeah, we sold our first probably that.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Well, it's the soccer fields like in Mossman.
- 26:34Speaker 3: It's bloody shag carpet, isn't it.
- 26:36Speaker 2: It was very well manicured.
- 26:38Speaker 3: But they did put on a good sausage sizzle, so
- 26:41Speaker 3: they went back to their roots.
- 26:42Speaker 2: There anywhere anyone for caviar and lobso after the game.
- 26:45Speaker 3: But we turned up the Narrabeen Crew Hillbillies Bogans by
- 26:49Speaker 3: the beach.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I got DIBs on her. Every brother doesn't.
- 26:53Speaker 3: That sort of stuff turned up Oscar. He was nervous,
- 26:57Speaker 3: of course, and I was like expected. I was like,
- 26:59Speaker 3: just just do your best, and he does this thing
- 27:01Speaker 3: where he's like, we're probably not going to win. We're
- 27:04Speaker 3: probably not going to win. I'm probably not gonna like
- 27:06Speaker 3: to sign.
- 27:07Speaker 2: That's his way, his own expectations. And I was like, yeah,
- 27:11Speaker 2: you're probably right. I was just trying your best, man,
- 27:15Speaker 2: let's try your best. You come from good stock.
- 27:17Speaker 1: But when you agree with them, they're like.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Hey, they're like, hey, this is how I do things.
- 27:22Speaker 2: You're meant to be Like, you're the best boy ever.
- 27:24Speaker 2: That's April. April was just like, you're going to kill them, honey, and.
- 27:29Speaker 1: There's a knife, get out there.
- 27:33Speaker 2: At least you look good.
- 27:35Speaker 1: April at the cross country, very vocal she was. Was
- 27:39Speaker 1: she on the sideline.
- 27:40Speaker 3: She was drowned out by all the others, so it
- 27:42Speaker 3: wasn't so intense from her, but Oscar.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Straining the muzzled in the corner.
- 27:48Speaker 2: She was she had Macy with her and like I
- 27:51Speaker 2: was like, Macy was like.
- 27:52Speaker 1: She normally has a few venos as well. The sideline was.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Thirty in the mornings.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Was definitely I'm driving turned up. Oscar started the game,
- 28:02Speaker 3: just scored three goals. What hat trick?
- 28:04Speaker 2: Hero on debut.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Whamo, oh my god, that's very arrogant from you, Adamston, Man.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Of the match, Man of the Match. But I will
- 28:14Speaker 2: say he scored three.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Goals and I do have another child, very opposite of
- 28:19Speaker 3: the spectrum. Over the course of the same day, she
- 28:22Speaker 3: napped three times.
- 28:24Speaker 1: The same same but different shout out to Mason.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I know she's just like, she knows, she knows, she
- 28:29Speaker 2: gets life, she knows what's good for her. Yeah, she's like,
- 28:32Speaker 2: fuck it. So she slept on the way to soccer.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Hat tricker naps.
- 28:35Speaker 3: Literally on the way to soccer and on the way home.
- 28:38Speaker 3: And just to add to the Saturday shenanigans, we went
- 28:41Speaker 3: to the Easter Show in the afternoon. Okay, now let
- 28:44Speaker 3: me Yeah, I'm going to tell you right now.
- 28:48Speaker 2: I was swindled into this.
- 28:49Speaker 1: I know that April is a one activity per day
- 28:51Speaker 1: kind of gal.
- 28:52Speaker 2: That's what I thought when I married her. I was wrong.
- 28:55Speaker 1: What's happened.
- 28:55Speaker 3: So there's this thing with ADHD medication called the yes
- 29:00Speaker 3: window where in the morning, when you take your meds
- 29:03Speaker 3: you'll say yes to anything for like an hour and
- 29:06Speaker 3: regret it later.
- 29:07Speaker 2: So she's caught me off guard. Here somewhere, VIC.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Just write that down and make sure that if we
- 29:12Speaker 1: need to get approval for anything on ASH, just ask
- 29:14Speaker 1: him before ten o'clock.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Literally, you'll get whatever you want anyway. So this is
- 29:19Speaker 3: a couple. I was going back a couple of weeks
- 29:23Speaker 3: ago where she's pre booked everything, but I've said yes
- 29:27Speaker 3: in this yes window.
- 29:28Speaker 2: And then I quizzed her on the Friday.
- 29:31Speaker 3: I was like, okay, so I know we're going to
- 29:32Speaker 3: the East shirt It's fine, I'm not going to avoid that.
- 29:34Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, so what time are we going?
- 29:36Speaker 3: And she's like, we're going in the afternoon. I was like, great, no,
- 29:38Speaker 3: just go for a couple, you know, avoid the morning rash.
- 29:41Speaker 3: And she's like, yeah, so the kids they're gonna have
- 29:43Speaker 3: a late night.
- 29:43Speaker 2: I was like, excuse me. She was like, oh, there's
- 29:45Speaker 2: fireworks and kids want to fires. Like okay, what times
- 29:47Speaker 2: are fireworks?
- 29:48Speaker 3: Like seven o'clock it's dark because Havings is over ten
- 29:50Speaker 3: to nine. What I said, so I'm going to be
- 29:53Speaker 3: the Easter show for seven hours. And she was like,
- 29:56Speaker 3: I knew you'd be like this. Oh, I knew you
- 29:59Speaker 3: would say this. That's why I asked two weeks ago
- 30:01Speaker 3: at a specific time.
- 30:03Speaker 1: At seven forty five am after we had sex.
- 30:06Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure that's when it was.
- 30:09Speaker 3: So we go in the afternoon and like it was
- 30:11Speaker 3: actually not a bad shout to go around lunchtime.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Because you do.
- 30:15Speaker 3: You see people leaving that have been there in the
- 30:16Speaker 3: morning with their younger kids as well.
- 30:17Speaker 1: They're like walking out of a war zone, like don't
- 30:21Speaker 1: do it. They're like, don't do it.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I saw a police helicopter.
- 30:25Speaker 3: And I was like, please be something at the show,
- 30:27Speaker 3: Please be something at the show.
- 30:29Speaker 2: So I can't go, and I was just in a
- 30:30Speaker 2: bad do you call it a bomb? Threat went past us.
- 30:35Speaker 3: I was like, this is great, come on, yeah. So
- 30:38Speaker 3: we turned out it's the same old thing. It's a
- 30:40Speaker 3: bit like a hillbilly circus. Let's be honest, like it's
- 30:42Speaker 3: not for me, it's for the kids. They did nothing
- 30:45Speaker 3: but ask the whole time.
- 30:47Speaker 2: He'll billy esque thank you.
- 30:49Speaker 1: You're with your people.
- 30:50Speaker 2: I was not with my people.
- 30:51Speaker 1: You're a little bit country.
- 30:52Speaker 2: I am not. What part of me is country?
- 30:56Speaker 1: What part of the mustache?
- 30:58Speaker 2: That's it? This is cosmetic. This is cosmetic. It can
- 31:02Speaker 2: come straight off anytime.
- 31:04Speaker 3: But one eventful thing that did happen, which I really
- 31:07Speaker 3: felt sorry for Macy, is that I'm gonna say that
- 31:10Speaker 3: Macy saved a life, and I only want expecting this.
- 31:12Speaker 1: Yeah, good, I love I love so.
- 31:14Speaker 3: First of all, the third nap was on the way
- 31:16Speaker 3: to the Easter show. So there's the hat trick. Bingo
- 31:19Speaker 3: bango bongo. She's full of energy for now. She doesn't
- 31:21Speaker 3: doesn't take much for for an hour, for an hour. Obviously,
- 31:24Speaker 3: there's a lot of volunteers that help out. And some
- 31:26Speaker 3: of these volunteers are a little bit elderly, which is fine.
- 31:29Speaker 1: They're lovely volunteer.
- 31:31Speaker 3: Yeah, to be honest, I think they're just happy to
- 31:32Speaker 3: be out of the house and alive.
- 31:34Speaker 2: And yeah, that too, some of them.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Some of them like ah.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Anyway, so there's this like petting zoos sort of area
- 31:41Speaker 3: that has like tractors they can jump on, and one
- 31:44Speaker 3: of them is like an electric one, which they swindled
- 31:46Speaker 3: me out of ten bucks or three minutes.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Bastards.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Then they had a second like small attractive thing that
- 31:53Speaker 3: was pedals, which was free in another section.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Anyway, So were over there.
- 31:58Speaker 3: Macy gets on this little tractor and starts to pedal around,
- 32:01Speaker 3: and one of the volunteer lady came up to me.
- 32:03Speaker 3: She was probably in the seventies or whatever, and she was.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Talking to me.
- 32:06Speaker 3: She was like, yeah, they sat me over here, like
- 32:08Speaker 3: just over here in the back to watch the tractors,
- 32:10Speaker 3: and I.
- 32:10Speaker 2: Was like, oh, yeah, you know whatever.
- 32:12Speaker 3: And then Macy's riding past and this old lady wasn't
- 32:14Speaker 3: watching and they've collided, oh into each other.
- 32:19Speaker 2: It felt like slow motion, right.
- 32:21Speaker 1: It's like giraffes in a giraffe when they moved, they're
- 32:24Speaker 1: all that's what it was like. Elderly are essentially just.
- 32:28Speaker 2: Like an old tree.
- 32:29Speaker 3: Yeah, she started to fall and she's actually grabbed hold
- 32:33Speaker 3: of Macy on the way down.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Around the neck.
- 32:39Speaker 3: So both of them have gone headfirst into the turf.
- 32:43Speaker 2: The poor old duck.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Macy cushioned her fall, and I was like it all
- 32:50Speaker 3: happened in slow motion.
- 32:51Speaker 2: There's people running from the other.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Side, like other dad's coming over to help out, like
- 32:56Speaker 3: something was seriously going down, and Mabe.
- 32:58Speaker 1: The police helicopter comes up.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Literally it was like all in this slow motion. And
- 33:03Speaker 2: then the poor thing she must have like bunged up
- 33:05Speaker 2: a wrist, the old lady. But I was also like
- 33:08Speaker 2: eye witnessed the whole thing, and I was like.
- 33:10Speaker 1: You're a fault.
- 33:11Speaker 3: You didn't need to grab hold of my four year
- 33:13Speaker 3: old on the way down.
- 33:14Speaker 1: It's instinct.
- 33:15Speaker 3: It was she was trying to stop her for all
- 33:17Speaker 3: bit of poor Macy. And you know how sad it
- 33:19Speaker 3: is when Macey cries. She's because she's so sweet and
- 33:22Speaker 3: she never talks. She was like, she couldn't really be like, hey,
- 33:25Speaker 3: get the.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Fuck off me.
- 33:27Speaker 2: She was more like what happened? Like it all happened
- 33:31Speaker 2: to her so fast.
- 33:32Speaker 3: But I watched it all go down, and I was like,
- 33:34Speaker 3: push the lady out of the road, picked up Macie,
- 33:38Speaker 3: and I was like, it's okay.
- 33:39Speaker 2: And then the lady came out and she was like,
- 33:40Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. Macey's like get away right now.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Kick her back down.
- 33:46Speaker 2: I was like, and the lady was like you good enough.
- 33:49Speaker 3: It was so awkward afterwards, you know, you're all standing
- 33:53Speaker 3: there and everyone's fine, and she was kind of like
- 33:55Speaker 3: didn't know what to do, and I'm staying that.
- 33:57Speaker 2: It was like, I was like, well, this is really awkward.
- 34:00Speaker 1: When you're the first person to come in order, You're just.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Like, this is what do I do?
- 34:03Speaker 1: Now?
- 34:04Speaker 2: What happened?
- 34:04Speaker 1: Do I just?
- 34:05Speaker 2: What do I do?
- 34:06Speaker 1: Stand here?
- 34:07Speaker 2: And I was like, oh gee, this is awkward, isn't it?
- 34:09Speaker 2: And then I was like, come on, kids, let's go.
- 34:11Speaker 2: We're gonna go. Kids go, and they.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Didn't want to go because then they're having fun again.
- 34:14Speaker 3: So I'm sat there next to this old lady who
- 34:16Speaker 3: obviously felt horrible about it, but I was like.
- 34:18Speaker 2: I don't worry about it. Kids are resilient. You know,
- 34:19Speaker 2: she's only got a concussion.
- 34:20Speaker 3: But you're also like the funk away from I didn't
- 34:23Speaker 3: want to be rude because she was lovely, okay. I
- 34:26Speaker 3: just wanted to go, like just get away from me
- 34:28Speaker 3: because I was like, this is so awkward, this situation.
- 34:31Speaker 3: And I was squirming, like being like come on, kids,
- 34:34Speaker 3: like you know, trying to hurry them up.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Times up. Yeah, that's what it was like.
- 34:37Speaker 2: And they wouldn't come.
- 34:38Speaker 1: And I was like, oh god, the most thankfully Macy
- 34:43Speaker 1: is alive and well.
- 34:43Speaker 2: And then she fell asleep with a car on the
- 34:45Speaker 2: way home, just to top off the day.
- 34:46Speaker 1: That's my Macy.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Three sleeps. She saved a life and off to sleep.
- 34:50Speaker 2: She's a hero.
- 34:50Speaker 1: I didn't have it, admit to go to this to
- 34:52Speaker 1: show this year, So well done to you. Yeah, active
- 34:55Speaker 1: family hated it.
- 34:57Speaker 3: Honestly, last time I'm doing it. She'll get me in
- 34:59Speaker 3: that window. Again, I'm a fat.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Actually there's another another message.
- 35:05Speaker 2: For Ash fucking someone see me?
- 35:07Speaker 1: Yeah from Ellie. Then she says, my partner and I
- 35:10Speaker 1: saw Ash and his beautiful family. That used to show
- 35:14Speaker 1: Macy looked a little worse for wear though.
- 35:17Speaker 2: She was Disney.
- 35:20Speaker 1: I had been in a rotten mood. And my partner goes,
- 35:23Speaker 1: that's Ash from your podcast. I had a full on
- 35:25Speaker 1: fangird moment for the whole crew. So happy to see
- 35:27Speaker 1: you guys in the wild.
- 35:29Speaker 2: Wow, you should have come and said hi.
- 35:31Speaker 3: I know yeah, No, I would have been Yeah, it
- 35:37Speaker 3: would have It would have poked me out.
- 35:38Speaker 2: I was, yeah, look it was It's not for me.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Wait the fan interaction. No, they used to show.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like they're just slapping things together.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Actually one special mention they shoot someone out of a cannon.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Whate that's that's peak hillibilly behaviors.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Second generation cannonball. Essentially, he learned from his dad. He's
- 35:57Speaker 3: been doing it for twenty nine years. So back in
- 35:59Speaker 3: the eighteen hundreds, o Ma hey Ma was American too,
- 36:05Speaker 3: So in the eighteen hundred human cannibals were banned, but
- 36:08Speaker 3: in the mid nineteenth century they brought back by this
- 36:11Speaker 3: guy's family.
- 36:11Speaker 2: So his dad was a cannonballer.
- 36:13Speaker 3: He's a cannibal, and his son's the one who hits
- 36:15Speaker 3: the trigger, so he's going to be a third generation cannonballer.
- 36:19Speaker 1: It was pretty and he says he hated the that's
- 36:21Speaker 1: the only bit I love. Oh my god, stop pretending
- 36:24Speaker 1: like you love it.
- 36:25Speaker 2: Anyway, it was great. That was good. That was a
- 36:26Speaker 2: good bit.
- 36:26Speaker 3: But we left because Macy realized she hates fireworks. Mid yeah,
- 36:31Speaker 3: as soon as the first one. When I she was like,
- 36:33Speaker 3: fuck this just out of here anyway, never gone.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Must have lost my invite for that.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Do you want to come with my family? Just you
- 36:41Speaker 2: and my family?
- 36:42Speaker 1: Did you get invited? Vick? No, No, I didn't.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Look well it was on purpose.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Okay, very exciting news. This is this is kind of
- 36:51Speaker 1: like breaking news.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Oh this is it's still my job.
- 36:54Speaker 1: No, I would never dream of it.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Put the accent on.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I can't guess who has a wobbly tooth, Nana. It
- 37:04Speaker 1: is Lola. What fine, Lola with the wobbly tooth, which
- 37:09Speaker 1: is very exciting because middle top tops advanced top front
- 37:14Speaker 1: teeth is wobbly and she's just she's pumped. It's a
- 37:18Speaker 1: huge deal because at the moment, a few kids are
- 37:20Speaker 1: losing their teeth at school, and we kind of reacted
- 37:23Speaker 1: in a way to express how excited we were. Everyone's like,
- 37:26Speaker 1: oh my god, we're making a big deal. And then
- 37:29Speaker 1: someone standing in the corner with her arms crossed, Oh god,
- 37:32Speaker 1: Marley being like, well, I don't have a fucking wobbly tooth,
- 37:36Speaker 1: and we were like, oh, well, yeah, okay, has she.
- 37:40Speaker 2: Lost a tooth?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Hasn't lost a tooth? Yeah?
- 37:42Speaker 2: I was a late bloomer too. My old man used
- 37:44Speaker 2: to make fun of me that I was like a piranha.
- 37:45Speaker 1: When did you lose your first.
- 37:48Speaker 2: I would say, like older than MALEI.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Gptter and apparently up until eight is but where like
- 37:56Speaker 1: we should have been like Mary, it's okay, it'll come.
- 37:58Speaker 1: But I was like, hang on a second, let me
- 38:02Speaker 1: feel your tooth, and I said, you got one too.
- 38:05Speaker 1: You've also got a wobblue too one.
- 38:07Speaker 2: And she's acting out and wearing a crop toe and.
- 38:08Speaker 1: She's like to I was like, yeah, yeah, your front one,
- 38:11Speaker 1: and she was like I knew it was coming, and
- 38:13Speaker 1: I'm like, we've all got wobbly teeth. And then we
- 38:16Speaker 1: kind of let that lie run through a bit, and
- 38:18Speaker 1: then Marley was so excited shuned up to Nana and
- 38:21Speaker 1: was like, Nana, I've got a wobblye tooth and she
- 38:22Speaker 1: was like come here, oh god. And she was like
- 38:25Speaker 1: now none of them are wobbly. And she's like, now
- 38:28Speaker 1: that this is the front one, She's like, no, it's not.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Kids sold as a rock. And then Marley was like, oh,
- 38:34Speaker 1: Nana said I could never wob blue tooth.
- 38:36Speaker 2: And I was like, for fox sake, man, she doesn't know.
- 38:39Speaker 1: I'm like, get back in your room, come out when
- 38:41Speaker 1: Dinners needs to be sorry, true though, love, I love.
- 38:49Speaker 1: So Marley was very upset, but Lola is just she's frothing.
- 38:53Speaker 3: When we expect the tooth to fall out like any ball.
- 38:56Speaker 1: I don't know, Vicky, you just lost the tooth. What's
- 38:58Speaker 1: the window from at first? Get to it?
- 39:00Speaker 2: Well, no, Louis, Oh look that's right.
- 39:03Speaker 1: I saw that.
- 39:04Speaker 2: Yeah, but you just said you lost the two Yeah.
- 39:08Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 39:09Speaker 2: No, I didn't. It is very literal. We noticed about it.
- 39:13Speaker 1: From the first wabble to the removal of.
- 39:16Speaker 4: The tooth, how long, completely unexpected. It was a surprise
- 39:19Speaker 4: for the whole family. Shocking, shocking, I had screamed from
- 39:24Speaker 4: the bedroom because that's where we brush our kids teeth,
- 39:27Speaker 4: don't ask, and Dan came running out.
- 39:30Speaker 2: He's like, spin it into mom's head. Spit it into
- 39:32Speaker 2: mom's head. I was like, what I thought? It was
- 39:34Speaker 2: a stitch.
- 39:34Speaker 4: I thought because they were trying to get them to bed.
- 39:36Speaker 4: I felt like they were trying to do something. And
- 39:38Speaker 4: then he spat it out and I was like, not expected,
- 39:41Speaker 4: not well believed that checked.
- 39:45Speaker 1: He was concerned, what did you get? How much money?
- 39:47Speaker 2: Okay?
- 39:48Speaker 4: So I gave him five two dollars coins. What I know,
- 39:53Speaker 4: I surprised people.
- 39:54Speaker 3: My teeth right now, that's a whole I'll tell you,
- 39:59Speaker 3: I'll rip them all out.
- 40:00Speaker 2: That's the payoff from.
- 40:01Speaker 4: The school mom's I heard that the first tooth does
- 40:04Speaker 4: get more and then we put the tooth in this
- 40:07Speaker 4: little bag and then it just.
- 40:08Speaker 2: Looks so empty with like two coins.
- 40:11Speaker 4: And we have so many coins in the house because
- 40:13Speaker 4: down to the builder. So I wanted to like get
- 40:15Speaker 4: gradies have a lot of coins, I think cos.
- 40:17Speaker 2: They get paid in coins.
- 40:19Speaker 1: And I thought ten.
- 40:20Speaker 4: Dollars like a nice round amount, and then two dollars
- 40:22Speaker 4: after absolutely, But like I was always that mom that
- 40:25Speaker 4: was like, don't give too much to your kids.
- 40:27Speaker 2: And then as soon as he lost, I.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Was like, oh my god, I'm going to shower him
- 40:30Speaker 3: with money.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Did you say, Mercedes Benz, you're not getting that crap.
- 40:35Speaker 2: We've got a Masai want.
- 40:38Speaker 3: To give I?
- 40:39Speaker 2: April gave Oscar a dollar.
- 40:41Speaker 1: His first tooth. Yeah, first too. Yeah.
- 40:44Speaker 2: I think so judgment, that's what they're telling me.
- 40:46Speaker 1: A lot of judgment in that high pitch.
- 40:49Speaker 2: That's all we can afford. Big, That's what they told me.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Irene Cahoots.
- 40:56Speaker 1: He's oh, it was just a dollar hour that Pokemon card.
- 41:00Speaker 3: He's like, he's steal shipped from me, but his mum's
- 41:04Speaker 3: fucking given him cash left, right and center.
- 41:06Speaker 4: Can I just say though? So that money was burning
- 41:09Speaker 4: a hole in his pocket from the get go. So
- 41:11Speaker 4: the next morning we took him in a game art
- 41:13Speaker 4: and we said, you've got ten dollars and I was
- 41:15Speaker 4: going to be really like strict on that, like he
- 41:17Speaker 4: can't get a dollar here and there anyway. So he
- 41:20Speaker 4: bought a little dinosaur egg and three one dollar matchbox cars.
- 41:23Speaker 4: He wanted to take those three cars to vacation care.
- 41:27Speaker 1: Do you think those.
- 41:27Speaker 4: Cars came back? No? Absolutely not no, and then he says,
- 41:32Speaker 4: it's right, I'll just get another ten dollars.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Oh see, then you set yourself up to fail.
- 41:36Speaker 4: And I was like, no, you only get two dollars
- 41:38Speaker 4: per tooth. He's like, I'll save.
- 41:40Speaker 2: Up, could even save this kid. I love that.
- 41:44Speaker 3: Oh I'm not giving you any more money. It's like,
- 41:46Speaker 3: comes back with like one hundred dollar toy. Yeah, mum
- 41:49Speaker 3: pay for the rest? Is that right, April?
- 41:51Speaker 2: Well, I was like you telling me.
- 41:53Speaker 1: Just quickly on the tooth fairy. We did have a
- 41:56Speaker 1: pole in the Facebook group, which is just such a
- 41:58Speaker 1: great page for other parents and non parents to get
- 42:01Speaker 1: together and share their war stories and share their stories
- 42:05Speaker 1: and share their hardships. Which one do you want to
- 42:08Speaker 1: go with?
- 42:10Speaker 2: Please leave all those?
- 42:13Speaker 1: Leave all.
- 42:15Speaker 3: At what point did you decide to remove the war
- 42:17Speaker 3: because you're like, well, it's a bit testing. Also, I
- 42:19Speaker 3: do want to say about the Easter show fireworks in
- 42:22Speaker 3: this economy at the.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Moment we get at the year, you've had enough fireworks with.
- 42:26Speaker 2: The war going on, seems a bit much.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Well, that's what you just everyone. I don't want to
- 42:32Speaker 1: reference the war because there's a war going on. It's insensitive.
- 42:35Speaker 1: It's insensitive to who knows who was listening from which country?
- 42:40Speaker 2: Digging that all.
- 42:41Speaker 1: He's just like, anyway, I'll let you edit that as

- 42:56Speaker 1: Is it two dollars? The old school vibes five dollars
- 43:00Speaker 1: seems like the new standard ten dollars inflation is real.
