• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It is the good, it is.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: The bad, and it's the relatable. And it's not a
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: podcast where you get advice.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. We might rant about things, but don't take
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it as advice. It is getting a bit hot in here,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: isn't it? It is? And I have noticed something you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: do when you do that intro well, and I wonder
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: if we could go back and look through footage. You
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: do this thing with the table. You do that with
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the table every time? Does he not do I? Yeah,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: it's just like a it's just your thing and you're
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: getting rid of it anything. You're clear in the bend.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm in the zone. Hey, just really quickly. I was
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: going to have we both our little story, a very
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: quick story. Yeah, they may be ship. My story is
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: is this weird?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I got an uber here. All right, let's just for
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: anyone who doesn't know the date. First of all, get
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a calendar that we made, raunchy Ranch. What is it April?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: In April?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it? In April? We're in April? Shut up?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: He was playing my uber driver Christmas songs? What yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the Christmas album blaring which one well I couldn't quite
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: make out the words. It was just like it was
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: on softly. It was just like, it's Christmas time.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I hate Christmas. And I was like, is that weird? Yes,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that is weird.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, my kids every now and then love to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: throw on a Christmas dress.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're kids. They just think that they they
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: just picture joy with it an uber driver. Maybe he's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: trying to lure kids into his uber. You've taken this
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in a direction you didn't want to take it. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: did not expect. Okay, well, I've just got a different
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: view of what's happening. Unless he's a real big fan
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of Christmas in July and he's prepping.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I just think I just think maybe wearing the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: wrong ash. Because because kids, they can tap into the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Christmas joy at any time, doesn't matter the day, January, February, July, August, September,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I could name any month. They can just throw on
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a Christmas dress, name all the months. And we are
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: restricting ourselves to only enjoy Christmas for.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: One month, not even a full month. But you're a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Christmas guy? What You're a Christmas guy? You like Christmas?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Not really? Really? Not really? Yeah, because I have to, Yeah,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I hate it. I'm like, I've just put the Christmas
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: tree up on Christmas, even take it down boxing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I just think that's because you've been so tied up,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: you're so restricted, you don't like having forced fun. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: just think if you very true, if you just want
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to enjoy Christmas tomorrow, you should put on a Christmas shirt,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you should pull a Christmas cracker, you should open up
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: a present.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But then people would be like this fucking weirdo. Yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: probably drives more taxi driver. You've painted him as being
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: so one.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He's just enjoying Christmas in April, and I say, good
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: on you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I will not be forced to have joy. I refuse.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: What was your story? I was going to say, April
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: went to the office this morning, so she left early. Guys,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: she works hard. She's a hard worker. At the moment
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: she was yesterday, she was flat out anyway, So she's gone.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: She's left early this morning. So if it's for me
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to get up, do the kids, get her on organized
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: getting out of the house that I can come here.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But also there's an expectation of just don't leave the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: house a fucking bomb, and I don't like to get
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: home either as well.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And it's well you hang on, hang on, April shouldn't
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: leave the house as the bomb me. You should yeah, yeah, gotcha,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So that she'll probably get home before me.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's a bad look if she gets home and she's like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I know, you had to get the kids out the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: door and drop the kids off at various places, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: also interesting. This was gonna be a short story, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I've turned into a long yeah, good good, good good,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thank you yeah, because I'm here to back you up.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. And that's fine and I feel
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: like the expectators. It's the least I could do, So
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: go on. I need to shower, So got I went
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and showered and came out of the shower and I thought,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: quickly make the bed. I was completely nude. Kids are kids,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: kits are in the living room, obviously not doing what
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I've asked them to do. Just just get dressed the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: batman in a minute, your breakfast. Of course they're not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: doing that. They're bickering. Anyway. I told a story last
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: week about the trade's on the roof. Yeah they're back,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and I didn't know they're back. And I'm making the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: bed fully bent over on all fours because I had
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to reach over to the far corner. Turn around. Bingo,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: bang go bongo. There's the apprentice.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: So he's got PTSD and like, don't made me go
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: back there.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I had a little giggle, Hey, big boy, I had
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a little giggle, and I was like that poor guy,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: because he's seen me twice naked now and he's probably
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: like a twenty year old Max. He's an apprentice, he.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Can tell and he's just looking right down the barrel
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: of your nourse. Yeah, on all fours, drag out of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the shower. That's quite hot.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And he was like, get that amrooid. Check bro.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I just want to say I don't want to attack
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: April on the podcast, because I'm not about attacking anyone,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: especially not April. No, but I just I just think,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I think when you're getting the kids ready in the morning,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: it then it removes your responsibility to keep the house clean.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Let me give you my thought process. I agree if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: some instances, but I felt like she was really busy yesterday.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: She was a bit stressed last night. When is she
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: not I'm joking, I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. Sorry,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I edit that out. No, I keep it in the bunny.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I'll do a lot of washing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Should all love that? Do a lot of washing? Made
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the bed, untpack the dishwasher, repack the dishwasher, cleaned the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: living room, left the house bom and not own horn.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But that's pretty wow. But there's probably a reason why
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I was so diligent this morning, Matthew, which I do
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: have some news you before we go into that news.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Are you behaving like this because as a joke you
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: booked in sex and you posted that on your social
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: media and then off the back.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Of that it worked, it worked.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: That's not why are you behaving in this way because
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you're saying thank you?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Or are you just a good guy? Just a good guy.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But also, today's day one of being medicated for ADHD,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and it's given me a new it's given me a
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: new kind of feels like a new beginning.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Can I just really quickly because you got diagnosed was
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: like a month.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Ago, it was a little bit longer than that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And so what's the reminding the process? Why why are
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they just giving meds then? And there?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So New South Wales, there's a lot of different legislations,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: different hoops you got to jump through. So we spoke
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: last time about the initial appointment where they diagnose you.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You've got to go and then do blood work ECG,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: especially for me with dad heart disease, uttery disease.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Just did you have a heart attack, yeah, triple bypass
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: last year, yes, Jesus as a second heart attack so
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: his first heart attack of thirty nine.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And oh, you're like thirty nine as well. No, dude,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I'm early thirty thirty four and a half. You look great,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: thank you. You're like thirty nine. Yeah, I'm thirty eight.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Soon he was cost you look great, thank you. That's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. I was trying to get
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: some footage of me in the ECG machine, but apparently
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the phone will interfere electronically. I hate that. It's like
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: when they tell you I'm not content, CREADI bro Yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I just said it's on airplane mode. So they wouldn't
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: let me do that. So I didn't get any footage
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of it, but did joke. And we shouldn't joke because
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: mental health is very important. I feel like this year
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I had neglected it until of the last few weeks
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: where it's like, all right, I need to get shit done.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Because I hadn't had a blood test and I went
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to this place that I hadn't been to in a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: very long time. Was that like a pathology place, this
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: particular one. What did they do again? They take your
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: blood and stuff like that. You've got to go faster
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: than wait. It's a whole thing how is that also?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Side note idea for a TV show just blood test
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: waiting room TV. Because everyone's fasted, no one is patient.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: It would be chaos. Everyone's on edge. Can write that down.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I can see you're smoking. You quite like that idea.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: She just pretended to type on her laptop. Damn it,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But I think that's a good idea. No, I don't
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: know much will happen. We'll have it with actors, and
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying reality.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Oh you reckon, It's okay. So I thought I thought
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: it was real actors. Then in that case, you've just
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: been cast.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That is noted in the fold up. Thank
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you very much. So it had been so long, and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: we spoke about last year we'd been so long because
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I noticed how long it's been because when they were
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: doing my details, it had my childhood address Jesus, So
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that's how long it has been since. I can't say
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: how long it's been since I've had a blood test,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: but how long it's been since I've been there to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: have a blood test, which is local to me. It
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: has been my whole life, so I must have at
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: one point gone there twenty years ago, like it has
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: been so long, I was petrified, but the results came back.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Everything's good. Cholesterol is a little high. How do you
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: sell that? Well? She was like, look, have you not
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: been exercising lately? And remember I did my ankle, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: took the bottom of my foot off, the hemorrhoids, the hemorrhoids,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the back, anything.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Else, just like the shoulder was broken for a while,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: wasn't it? That was just just one episode? Can I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: ask what you are taking? Biasin biason? So it's slow acting.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So first one this morning, first one this morning? Feel good?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Do you feel different? Yeah? I also had therapy today.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Wholl gee, I'm on fire. I'm feeling good. I feel
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a little different. Yeah, sound different, thank you. I feel
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: like I've got less. The thing is like, if I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: don't sound different by the way, I thinks, no, I know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: hopefully I don't because I don't want to be different.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want it to. I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: think that's a stigma behind it, Like I want to
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: lose my spark, and we spoke about that before. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to do that. I just want to be
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: able to talk properly. I just want to be able
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to focus on the things that that are important, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I felt like I was losing that, and I was
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: losing it weekly all the time. I felt like I
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: was getting worse as I got older. Every day I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: felt like I was getting worse. So for to have
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: right now, I feel more clarity at the moment.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I want to take some here you go. I would
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: never take medicine that's not prescribed for me.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Give me someone, Okay, Can I shove it up your butt?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely talking about the uppercator you've got for Mali, And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I'm really shove that directly, shove that. Do you take
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: it or do you take it however you want me
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to wait, it's just a tablet. I'm very proud of you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Well well done, so well. I mean, we'll touch back
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: on it, give it a month every week. I just
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: want to know how you're doing, what you've been up to.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I feel good, Like I said, I feel like it's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a I feel like it's a new beginning somewhat. You
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: know when you're like new year, knew me. Yeah, like
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: new diagnosis, new me. Ari.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: They say the worst time to have, you know, big
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: changes in your life is January April, beginning of April.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Bang on day, one day two. I love it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I've had a week of wins and losses. Go
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: on myself. I've had a win with Lola. The dummy
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: is going strong, the no dummy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Just on that, just on that very quickly. Yes, because
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: we did last week speak about Lola giving up the dummy.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I did think that maybe she was hiding dummies. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that. Someone has written in about this story.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I saw that.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, did I looked at the room. Still no
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: sign of a hidden dummy. If she is hiding them
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: in a room somewhere, she's doing a very good job
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: because they are nowhere to be found.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me just read you this message from someone. Sorry,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: my phone is shite. I want to get the whole
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: thing where that happenings. Ah, that's it. Okay, this is
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: from a rachel or a raquel. It just listened to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Life on Cut this morning, followed by two Dating Dad.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Laura said they battled for six weeks last year to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Ditchlolla's dummy, while Matt reckons it was torture for a week.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So who to believe? I can't quite remember. I remember
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: was it six weeks?
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: No?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Can we call Laura quickly yeah, can we call? Can
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you call her off your phone? She won't answer.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: If she want to answer, she won't answer. My phone
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: is being used to record this. I don't think it
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: was six I think six weeks is a bit of
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: an embellishment.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I think so too. I'm with you. I would look
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I usually I would take Laura's side about I'm trying.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking back that six weeks would be a shock.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can meet in the middle. Just withdrawing to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: call Laura. She won't answer it because it's me. Was
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: this fucking idiot one? Maybe it's emergency. She's ignoring it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: The person you are calling. That's a bummer. But I'm
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: gonna say it might have been longer than a week,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: but it definitely wasn't six. I was cutting it six weeks.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Come on back, can now Laura get your story straight?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Stop lying to the people.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Thank you once again the only podcast that doesn't embellished stories.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: In fact, we undersell the story. You've undersold that. I
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: think it might have been two weeks of torture. Don't
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: trust Laura, but not six weeks.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: No, come on, but.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: She's doing great, really good, she was doing great. Laura's
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: just lying to everyone. No, Lola is doing really well.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Only downside is she wakes up, wakes up like five
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: forty five, six o'clock, and if Lauras is different times,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: don't believe her. She just and then Lola, she won't
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: get back to sleep. Okay, so we will get that
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: little second sleeping with the dummy in the mornings in
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and then go to sleep with you with us with
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the dummy. Yeah, we don't have that anymore. How long
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: would she go back to sleep for? Do you think
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: normally wakes up six thirty?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I love that. It's like a little naptop up
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of the sleep. I love it.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: That's my favorite time, especially now it's a bit colder
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: to nuzzle.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Back in's got morning breath. It's great. Yeah. So she's
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: been good.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: So that's been a win a loss that I've experienced.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Did you find any dummies in? No dummies? Not a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: single dummy? Wow? Yeah, I'm impressed. I know, I know
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: he's hidden them.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Really and also just weirdly, I don't know if you've
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: had this with your kids. Just out of nowhere, Lola
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: has just become obsessed with drawing.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Obsessed with drawing. She's just like she just fucking loves
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to draw. Now, that's so good, Like it came out
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: very like, yeah, it's so good because it's like occupied,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: absolutely and you don't get any shame feelings about like
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: have they been watching a screen for too long? Yeah?
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Have they been drawing too long? And then they love it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's weird.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: She's now no longer on the dummies, she's now drawing.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's happened to Lola, but she's turned
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a corner.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: She's growing up. She's mature. So that has been great.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: What's not been great is well, I guess I'm my
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: own I am to blame for this.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Asking social media for their opinion on any topic is
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: always very dicey.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It's a tough one because you get some sound advice.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: There's also a lot of lunatics on the internet.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of crazy people, lots of mixed opinions,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a lot of opinions who you don't really care about.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, just as you do,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you're like, hey, let me know what you think. I
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: don't know if you know this, ash, but I'm renovating
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a house down in a La dullah I thought you're
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: going to say another one. I was like, fuck, same,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: just that one. And we have finished the bathroom. Well,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the bathroom has completed the upstairs bath there, no, maybe
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I have. Is it weird that we still have like
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a toilet at the front of the house and I
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: kind of blew like a like a portaloo, like a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: tradeing sauna. No, they they like built it out of wood.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: They like it's a wooden one.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: They've got the toilet boogie. Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: They took the toilet, the pink toilet, they took it out,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: they held onto it. They then did some plumbing so
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: it's plummed in.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: They got a proper plumbing portaloo.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: It's just not really it's just a look and it's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: great because it's it's got like a carver, it's got walls.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: But it's also you still feel like you're part of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the mix of people are there, like because every yeah,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you can still talk to them.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Once. Wow. So anyway, that's sophisticated. I would normally use.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I like that toilet, but I love I love the bathroom.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Bathroom is crazy.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I like that toilet, but I also love the I
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: want him to keep that toilet at the front of
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the house, like just in case. Yeah, they probably built
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: like a nice Maddie's ound. I kind of yeah, yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: it's agazine.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: There's something very primal about going do you do your
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: business outside?
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: My grandfather who sadly is not with us anymore, but
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: they still have the outhouse at their players at the back.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: It's just riddled with red back spiders. But just be
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: mindful of that, thank you.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I always Yeah, we did have a fun of spider
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: inside the house. That's another story. Okay, okay, so the bathroom.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the bathroom reveal? Okay, do you want
• 18:25

  Speaker 2: One of the comments that we had was from someone
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: they said, you couldn't pay me to shit in that bathroom.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: And I wrote back and I was like, just just

  Speaker 2: It's been a long arduous journey to get this house
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: finished almost.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: There, and for someone to say that, look, I was, okay,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Laura nothing. It got to her bit she got pretty angry.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: She was like, I don't know exactly what she said,

• 20:04
  Speaker 1: at the top ones of the comments. Please, let's not

  Speaker 1: my style. But I really appreciate it. Looks fun and
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: very expensive. Wow, that's my mum. Love it ten out

• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Lee is one of my friends. Oh, she's up there,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: says gorgeous, guys, looks stunning. Lucky. Imagine she was the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: one who was like in Fisticus with Laura, you'd be
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: ripped to pieces by Shana Blade from the block.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I did want to manage Shana and say, say, what's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: your opinion, But the only opinion I really care about
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: is your opinion.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Ash So, someone who was a former trading pink was horrible. Okay,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad you've moved on from that. You wouldn't
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: need to pay me a shue in it. I quite
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: like it. Beige green, dark GREENI beige. I like the tiles,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I like you, I like the I appreciate that. That's okay.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: We've had lots of great feedback. That bathroom was the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: first situation where people were starting to turn on us.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know why people get so worked up over
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a bathroom renovation, especially those people who are like, you've
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: ruined the integrity of the house.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Good luck with the retail, good luck with the retail
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: much more.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you have to pry the keys
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: out of my cold dead hands. This is for you
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and your family to enjoy. People can get someone a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: lot of money for the house, you wouldn't be able
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to pay me issue in there. It's like you should
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: invite that guy over, give me a shit load of laxities,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and then lock the fucking bathery door. There you go.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: You've got to pay me. Fuck, It's been a rollercoaster
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of emotions. Ash, I've been doing a lot of work
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: on myself. As we spoke about with h once again,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: you should be commended, thank you, and I do need it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: But with that becomes a lot of flashbacks, a lot
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of memories, and we have the memory about the quantus,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: which I've never fully recovered. I actually went to an
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: art gallery with a guy who sat next to me
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: in that exact classroom where that happened. But that's not
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the story. The story is that I went to a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: gallery which very out of the ordinary for me, but
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: local artist was having an opening and I thought, I'll
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: be doing the right thing and I'll go You've changed.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you, I've changed like a week. That's great. That's
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: what I could do with a decent amount of time.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I went to the theater. I went to the theater
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: with we watched some ballet. Gallery afterwards. I actually went
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to a night girl and they got you faced afterwards,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter they had they had a margarita bar.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: But it got me thinking about galleries and the last
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: time I was at a gallery, which happened to me
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: when I was a child. My dad used to be
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: a sales rep. We lived in Sydney at the time.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: He was all about networking because there was no social media.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It was about going out a meeting people. He got
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: one of his friends that he worked with. Their partner
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: was an artist, and invited all of us to this gallery.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Mind you, two kids, mom, dad, four of us. You
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: all went. We all went. It was like a weekend. Well,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I was probably more like we brought kids to an
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: art gallery. I didn't bring kids. My dad brang the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: kids because I don't think they I think we were
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: too young to just leave us and they probably didn't
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: have anyone to look after it, so we all went.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: It was sorry.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, I thought you're talking about when you
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: went to the gallery.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: This is when you were a kid. Are you not
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: listening to my I was not listening. I'll be honest, Well,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: listen to Shoe. On the other foot, I'm usually I'm
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: the one who can't listen. Sorry, let me start again.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Then I can't keep up with him now that you're
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: on medications. Sorry, I told you my brain power today
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I Telly potted here, so I'm exhausted, like
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I need to go to Matt's house. I'm here, mom, dad,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: me and my sister. I would have been maybe like
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: eight or nine. Great, my sister is a little bit
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: older than me, like same age as you, thirty forty five.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: And giggled myself. Sorry, I just couldn't help yourself. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: couldn't help myself. Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. And anyway,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: so we went to this gallery on a weekend. It
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: was what I recall, it was beautiful. But in the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: middle of this gallery, in the middle of Surrey Hills.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: And we know what Surry Hills like. It's quite a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: fancy Who say fancy, I don't know a niche suburb.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Let's say it's a niche suburb. There's a lot party,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: thank you, you said, it was let me go after him,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: not me, and we all went that. There was a centerpiece, okay,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and it was I remember. It was like glass dish
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: looking things stacked up nicely, similar color to that light
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: actually green for those. And next to it was a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: book that you would write your thoughts on the piece.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It was like the main centerpiece for the whole gallery,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like when you check out. It was the centerpiece to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the whole event. Who the fuck is writing in books?
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Being like the art was great? Well, I'll tell you
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: was mister Wayne Wicks, who happened to be my father.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: And I am at this point, I'm out the front
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: of the gallery with my sister, real fucking bored as
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you would be as kids, and I hear a commotion
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: followed by a lot of glass smashing. What's happened is
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: my dad was writing in the book and he had
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: his sleeve rolled up to hear he was writing in
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: the book, and his sleeve brushed one of the glass
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: pieces of the centerpiece of art, and I didn't know
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it was dad at this time. It has smashed all
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: over the polished concrete floor everywhere and I looked at
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: my sister and I was like, I hope that's not Dad.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And I've walked in and I've never seen this look
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: on my father's face, and I'll never forget it. It
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: is burned in my brain. I remember he was holding
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: his hand like this because he was so embarrassed about it.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Like this. The place was fucking sil You could hear
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a pin drop. There's glass all over the floor. My
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: dad's face is bright red and he's sitting there like
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the remember this specifically, and he was just he was
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: just like a hand over the other hand, like he's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: shaking his own hand again, like what have I done?
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: What have I done? Ninety thousand dollars this thing?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Ninety thousand, ninety thousand, that's how much it was to
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: buy it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my fucking god. It is dead silent in this gallery,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Like I said, drop. Thankfully Dad knew the partner of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the artist, and it happened to be on that day
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: a replica, but we didn't know that at first. We
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: didn't know going into it. He thinks off uk and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: my mom's like off fuck, and we're all like, holy shit,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that's what it was like anyway. So thankfully, they were
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: like after the commotion and clean up, and we we
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: pretty much had to leave, like you can't sit there
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and harry. And the worst part about it was because
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: we we weren't a well off family, we we took
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: that that invited a day for maybe a day in
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: the city with the family asked for, we had a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: The worst part about it is we had a lunch
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: booked the four of us to go to a really
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: old traditional Italian restaurant that was you know it was.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It was a chaotic sort of style restaurant. Anyway, I
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: remember we all went and not a fucking word was spoken.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: And did your dad write in the book at the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: end or I think he didn't get to finish what
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: he was writing.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I really loved the piece. Sorry about the mess, which
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't made out of glass.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But I remember sitting at this restaurant completely silent for
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: what felt like a life time, and then having drive
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: it all the way back to all the beaches. And
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it's safe to say both my dad and I have
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: not This is the first time I've been back in
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: an art gallery and that was twenty something. Did you
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: break anything out of principle? Yes, I was talking to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the director of the gallery, like just in conversation and
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I told her the story and she said to me,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you need to close the circle. It's like, what what
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: do you mean? Do you want to you want me
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: to smash something up? But she's no, no, no, just
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: don't smash anything up. And when you finish, you leave
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: without making an He's just walking around holding your hands closed.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: So but the guy I was with Cam was like,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: look at this artwork. I don't look at it. My fault. Anyway,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: they had a margarita bar, so that really took the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: edge off. And then I smashed up everything and I
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: left and I left without smashing anything. But I did
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: find myself like having one of those moments where I
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, has this circle been closed? Yeah? Wait?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: That was the most unsure. Yeah, it's like, did you
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: fucking break anything on?
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Well? The circles close circles? Did you break the circle?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I did take a way up against the fans out
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of the bag when I left, as long as no
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: art was damaged in the process. Yeah, that was duck.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm not sure an all good, well done? Thank you.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Have you seen what chapel Ron has said about parents?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: No for anyone who is not familiar. We're going to
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: play it for you now and ash it'll refresh our memories.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: This is what Chapel has said about parents slash kids.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: All of my friends who have kids are in health.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I actually don't know anyone who's like happy and has
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: children at this age, anyone who has like light in
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: their eyes, anyone who.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Has who has slept? Do they think this is all wild?
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Like how famous you are and like all of it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: When they see articles about you, are they like calling
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: you up and be like Kaylie, what the fuck? Or
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: are they just like this is your life, bitch like
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Texas when you want to come over? I think yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Like they're just like their mothers, Like they're fucking busy
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: and they have jobs in life.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Like I am just their friend, you know what I mean?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Like they are so sweet and so supportive and come
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: out to shows and like they have to get fucking
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: babysitters to come to my show.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: First of all, she's shout on all her friends because
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: they have to get babysitters to come to shows.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: They're in hell. That's your idea of hell. It's probably
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: not their idea of hell. Okay, Firstly, that's my first point.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: And then she was like, but then they text me
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and love and support me and all this sort of stuff,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Well why don't you instead of shitting on your fucking mates.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: But like, they've made choices. Okay, it's not my choice
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: for now, they're probably happy, but don't say they're in
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: fucking hell. I think it's pretty hard though, though, isn't it?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: It is hard, and it's it's my hell, it's not
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: her hell, you know what I mean. So we can
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: agree with that, can be there's moments that it's in hell,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: but I'm not. I'm not. I'm not going to sit
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: here and say, Okay, I've got two kids, I'm in
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: hell all the fucking time. And some people struggle, right,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: have real fucking struggles and might feel like they're in hell,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: but they made a choice to be parents right in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: most instances, And then said they're really supportive of me.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Return the favor maybe, and then you know, I would.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I guarantee her fucking friends aren't that supportive if she's
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: talking about them like that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: But is she wrong though she talks about the fact
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: that it's parenting's really hard. It is hard, and they
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: don't her friends look like they don't. They're not happy,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: they're not having sleep. So is she wrong? Is she
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: wrong to point out that, like, hey, parenting from my
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: perspective looks pretty shit.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fine to have that opinion. Fine to have
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: that opinion, and but be like, hey, look, you know
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you can't just say they're in hell. And every parent
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: knows it's hard, but literally, my child could turn around
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and smile at me and it completely wipes that off
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the fucking face of the planet. I can't sit here
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and go they're in hell, because the hell is the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: worst place you can end up, always, forever, infinite.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I look at it this way, and I think, on
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: the one hand, yeah, parenting is really hard, but I
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: think it is why parents have been offended by it
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: is because it's like having a job, right, give a job.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: It's really really hard. You know, you're working nine to
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: five long hours, you're underpaid, and then for someone else
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: external to your situation to look in and point at
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: you and go, your life looks fucking awful.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: It looks it's like kick a man while he's down.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I think one thing that she's really forgotten to include
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: reality fuck now is the fact that, hey, look, we're
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: not going to sit here and say that parenting is amazing,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: because you know, anyone who's listening to the podcast knows
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: that we talk about the fact that it is really
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: bloody hard a lot of the time. But I think
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: what makes parenting worthwhile is those moments where you do
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: get that little connection the affection from your kids. And
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: it's not all the time. It's only, like, you know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: ten to fifteen twenty percent of the time, but that
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: entirely outweighs all of the bad parts of parenting.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Sure, you can have the worst day on the fucking
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: planet with or without your kids, right and you can
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: get home and little Macy comes and gives me a
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: cuddle with no stream is attached to it whatsoever, just
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and then nuzzle it head up against me, and that
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: whatever has happened that day is forgotten about completely. It's
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: not I don't live in infinite hell, because that's what
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: that is. You have those moments, and every parent will
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: tell you you be like, fuck, my kid pissed me
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: off so much yesterday and then he drew a picture
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and it was like super sick, and it was like
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that completely fucking changed everything, Like expect to not cop
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: any flak from someone like me, like, I won't comment
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: on that on it because I don't need the fucking
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: reoccurring notifications. I will say what I need to be
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: said now, and then that's it. If one of my
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: mates turned around and said to me and said, well,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I just live in hell all the time, I'd say,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you need to go and fucking seek some help, because
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's not all hell, it's not infinite.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I love it when you get passionate. Sorry, no, that's nice.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to no illusion that parenting is
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: not for everybody. There's there's lots of friends of mine
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: who don't have kids. Some of them come into town
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, let's meet up and they're like, great,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: where do you want to meet And I'm like, well,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: there's there's the kids end of Bondai Beach, which you know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I could meet you down there in like an hour
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: with Marley and Lola. And they're like, oh, couldn't eat
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: anything worse, And that's totally fine. Not everyone, like, not
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: everyone likes my bathroom, but not everyone's gonna like my situation.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: It doesn't surprise me that people look at parenting and
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: go that looks absolutely horrendous and there's no way I'd
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: want to do that, And I'm like, that's fine. I
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: just hope that anyone who was on the fence of
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: potentially having kids is like not looking at those comments
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and being like, wow, I don't really want to have
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: kids because for the record, printing is hard, but it's
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: also the most amazing, life changing, most so rewarding, filling
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: time of my life.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like at the moment because at Oscar school it's
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: like a long track to get there, and like go
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and pick him, going to pick him up in an
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: afternoon and watching him, you know, walk up independently on
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: his own. There's something that that gives me that nothing
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: else in the world will ever give me. And it's
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: such a combination of pride and and just fulfillment, like
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: there's some there is something there that than nothing else
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: in the world will give me. I agree, and non
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: parents won't understand that. But you don't have to understand
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: it if it's not for you. It's not for you,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but fucking keep it to yourself.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: But I will lose a bit of sleep to have
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: those feelings, for sure. Ash It is now time for
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: parenting lies?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Tell me love, tell.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Thet lived ash. This one is from Kate, and she says,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: we convinced our kids that the WiFi ruder is actually
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: a pet, and if they leave the room for too long,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: it gets lonely and stops working.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: The Wi Fi routerer? What why is it a pet? Yeah?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I mean I don't want to Kate. I don't want
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: to call you out here, but like, do you want
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: to encourage your kids to go outside?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Okay? I did. I just thought it was a sleep
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: at the time. I didn't want to bring it up.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: R router, it's a Wi Fi router. Well, there's no
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: need to yell ruter. Well.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I regret picking this lie A because I said it
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: wrong and B because.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. Kate I did think it was strange,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: So she wants the kids to stay inside with it. Yeah,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I'm confused. They're inside kids and outside this harm. Maybe
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: they live in a war zone, Let's move on. I'm sorry.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe they live in a national park and they could
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: be wild animals outside. We don't know. This one's from Rebecca.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: When my kids refuse to leave somewhere, I tell them
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: mosquitoes are coming out. If they still don't move, I
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: slapped my legs and say, mosquitos are biding me. That's
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: very good. That's good because my kids hate mosquitoes. I
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: can just see Kate going, We've got to stay home
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: because if you go outside, this mosquito that is genius.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: At the back of our garden here we got a
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: lot of mozzies and the kids hate it. If they
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: get bitten by mossie, it's like they've lost a limb.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: It's not it's weird that what what areas they're attracted to.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: It's not very swampy out there at all. When I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: lived in Tweet, we lived above with it on a hill.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: That below was like the road went through a swamp
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much. It was always where it was mossy fucking heaven.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: But thankfully they don't like me. So my sister, the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: poor thing got attacked. She got attacked on a rag.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: And this is from Annabelle. She says that brushing your
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: teeth will cure you're sore.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Tummy.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Clever, clever, clever, What if the kids don't have a
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: saw tummy though?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: She's we got it, We tricked it, we got it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: It's funny like Oscar and I don't know if your
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: kids do this too, where they'll go. He's like, oh
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: my Tommy saw no, I don't get that. I get that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: He's like, I want to eat it. I want to
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: eat it. But at the moment my Tommy saw no,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: he's just trying to trick me. Ship Okay, last one
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: from me from Diane. A lot of consistent regular names
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: this week. Great names. Last week we had some mascua
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: names like crystal shitry was it remember like that out shrewdy?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, Diane, My mother in law convinced
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: my husband that he was allergic to fizzy drinks. He
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: believed until he was fifteen.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Do you know what I believed until I was like,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I still kind of believe it. Now you're allergic to
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: hey know that? Do you know when you remember grade one?
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: My neighbor told me this lie right, you know when
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: you go and you're like you're pushing out a pool
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: and make yourself go really red.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah yeah. They said if you do.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: That, your brain will drop through your mouth, like be
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: into your mouth. Yeah, Like your brain will get dislodged
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: and like fall into your mouth and so growing up,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I could never do that. I could never make myself
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: go red because of my neighbor one time told me that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Lie, it's like you're the roof of your mouth. It's
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: like not existence down there. You go before we go
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: into questions, Matt, If any parents out there have any
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: lies that they tell their kids, or we're told, or
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: any many generations ago, I don't mind, because look at Elie.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: She's coming out with all the goods. You can email
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: us hello too, don't dads, or you can go to Instagram, dads, dms.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Or Facebook time for questions as I've got one here.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: There's actually one that I've wondered myself. This is off
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: the back of Marley. I think maybe a kid at
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: school lost a tooth, and Marley's pumped she lost her too,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: not yet, but she's like, I think this one's wobbling,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, is it? And she's like, maybe she
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: is ready, she is wobbling all the teeth. But I
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: was wondering what is standard practice for tooth fairy visits?
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Like what are we giving these days?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: What do the kids want? What do they need?
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: What do they deserve?
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: We haven't had the conversation about tooth fairries yet, and
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember when. What did you get as
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: a kid. I don't think we did anything like that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: What well come from a childhood where we didn't celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Easter.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: No tooth fairy, no tooth fairy. But I can recall
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: what you were robbed of a childhood. Yeah, if you
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: lost the two, that's what would happen. I think I'd
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: just give them to mum and dad. I don't know
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: what they did with them, and you've got nothing in return? No, okay, interesting,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: not to bring up more childhood trauma.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Let's let's do it. This is revealing a lot. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: used to get a dollar. That's pretty good. There's this
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: day and age. Probably not inflation, Yeah, this age pathetic.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: The twoth fairies not immune to inflation, my guy.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: But I'm wondering what is what is standard practice? So
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: I put the call out to the Facebook group. Okay,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: because you know, will you do anything for Oscar Macic
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: when they lose a too or will you follow the.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah very much love that. We will definitely do something
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: because April loves that sort of stuff, So I don't
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: see why we wouldn't. But I wouldn't know how much
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: to give them, so this is very helpful.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Well, actually put the call out there to the Facebook
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: group and they've given us a few responses.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Actually, this is from Joe.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: She says, shiny coins always Sometimes the fairy has a
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: quiet night, so that's the reason some kids at school
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: get more. Busy nights mean more kids to spread the
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: total amount between.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: So there's just like a total kiddy.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so if she's in it's a busy night, you
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: may get thirty cents.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Would you withhold your tooth? You wouldn't know? It would
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: be frustrating when yes, it's roll of the Essentially, what's
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: happening there they're introducing gambling. It's gambling gambling for kids.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: This is from Shads. We put it in a drawstring
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: bag on the bedside table for the tooth Fairy. We
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: did ten bucks the first tooth, along with a note
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: saying the tooth Fairy only takes nice, clean, well brushed teeth.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: After that it was five dollars or two. I love
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: the brushed clean too. Think ten bucks.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: That's a lot. That's a lot. One person wrote and
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: said five dollars a standard practice. I think five is
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: a nice amount ash if this makes sense. So you
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: put the tooth in a glass cup next to the bed, right.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Then you make sure you have an identical cup to
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: the one that the tooth is in.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so like your glass wear. Make sure it's
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: all consistent. Yeah, my house'll be fucked.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Then get the other cup, ad glitter, coins and even
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: food die if you like. And so when they're a
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: sleepy to a quick switch far out. People really going
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: and we're going hard. What is if the kid knocks
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the glass and you've got fucking glass And.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: What if they knock the glass? Get up, we step
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: on the glass. It could be a whole thing, and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: then they cut an artery. Imagine that. And the foot
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: artery is very well known. Kids bleeding out minutes minutes.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: The tooth fairy, like my plan, set an alarm in capitals,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: have no need to yell. One time the tooth Fairy
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: did a no show, fell asleep on the job, and
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: had to write a letter of apology to my son.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Apparently it was too windy for the tooth Fairy on
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: that particular. She hates high wind. That's a known fact.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: These are good. I like it.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Last one is oh God, no, Jessemine. Did we have
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: a Jesmine last time? Same Jessemine min An. I'll be
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: backing them in.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Sounds made up all these names. Guys.
• 42:59
