  Speaker 3: I am Maddie, Jake and I'm Ash and this is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a podcast all about parenting.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It is the good, it is bad, and the relatable.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And we don't give advice because you're not very smart.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Agreed as we have, we have a lot, a lot
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to get through in this episode if we can just
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: very quickly. Before we started recording, Jess, producer was asking
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a question of a certain water bottle that belonged to
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: her was left here at the household. I believe Laura
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: has thrown it out.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Let's just collectively blame her.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I think she's just she's she's so trigger happy to
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: throw anything out like canthor is dirty. She's like, put
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: it in the bin, check it out, and Jess, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: think Laura has thrown it out. But there's only one
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: way to confirm this. I think we should just give
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Laura a really quick call. She's not going to.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Pick up no, I can feel it. Laura.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Hello, sound you sound different?
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I'm in Zara.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Oh what are you getting?
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Nothing? I'm going to walk out of here though, hold on?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Sorry about that being very busy question. Cast your mind
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: back to a couple of weeks ago.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, here we go.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: We were cleaning out the house. There was a specific
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: type of water bottle that was here on the kitchen bench.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I think it was in like the drainage tray. It
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: was an age.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Water bottle that was in the drainage tree.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: It was a g one water bottle. I think it
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: was glass, do you yeah?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I vaguely remember it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: What did we do with that?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I think you threw it that because it had like
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: green stuff in it?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Ah you who?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: So?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Who threw it out?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Ma? Wow? Okay, all right, didn't you say? Didn't you say?
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: What is this? Why is this rotting?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I've got nightety what it is,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and then you're like, throw it away.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Wow is the fingering bottle?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I think so it was Jess's oh.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Ship, you guys need to buy just in your drink bottle.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: We're right, we're getting on it. I been there at
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the junction, man, don't group me in with you guys, green.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Green it was vitamins.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It was it had been less in the covered for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a really long time, and that is like made a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: juice or something in it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Jess.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I really I appreciate your endeavor to be healthy, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that we uh that we yeah, well,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I actually don't.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: We didn't do anything that MAT's right away. I'm very sorry.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I think everyone was like, what the fuck is this
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: doing here?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Everyone was commused. I don't know who it was. We
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: also found like three days after your record day. It
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: wasn't like it was on the record day. We were like,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: where'd this come from?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Can we back up a little bit there, Laura, you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: said you guys need to buy Jess a new water bottle.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I don't appreciate being grouped into this debarcle because I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do something so absurd.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: That house is like your podcasting studio. I feel like
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: you can, you can look.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, I would like some sort of ownership.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I would like a percentage of the house.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Please hang on, Laura, I would say, Laura.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: That that was very quick to blame you, like, oh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: I have no doubt.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I think you were the one that was like, we
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: knew this house was so clited, we need to get
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: rid of stuff now. And then you were like.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Get rid of it, put it in the bin.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And I was like, well, Laura, just slow down for
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: a second, relax, and you're like, too late, it's fucking gone. Wow.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: There I am. I am the clean out queen. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: like to drinking the way, but I'm not not the culprit. No, no,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I didn't do that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, Hey, don't forget to buy yourself a phone cover
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: when you're at the junction.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I'm going to have only dropped on
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: the ground.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Now I'm scratching that down.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Okay. I love you.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, I don't know who to believe around you go,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: why do wives do this? Why do they just throw
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: things out for the sake of there's two things that irritate?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: What does she do?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: She throws things out? Random? No, three things we could
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: be here all day. We just add to it. Okay.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: First of all, she'll just throw things out. They just
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: think it's Clark. It's in my way in the bin,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and it's like, no, there's no. I don't even own
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a wall anymore.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Do you know why?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Because it's probably at the tip. I don't think about
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the repercussions of that. Hence the water book. That's one
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: two for some reason. If something is nearly empty and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we have a new one, finish it off. I have
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: two jars of veedgie might rock and rolling around my
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: house at the moment, and I'm like, which one do
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I use?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get in trouble except gin. Okay.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: In April's defense, we've got about three little jars of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: honey at the moment, a little like squeezy tub things,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: because they're really annoying. Once they're empty, there's a little
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: bit left. You can't get it out. You gotta wash
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: it out with hot water. Then it's just it's the admin.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Honey's maybe the because it's sticky. It's very
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: stick but you can scrape the inside of veggimu.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Laura, it's actually me. Does this? Oh? Go on
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: sometimes like if it's butter and I finished the butter,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, just put it back in the fridge
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and I'll deal with that later.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: It's like a toilet paper roller is hanging like one
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: bit over the.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Top of it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't finish it. And the third thing that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: she does do which I know other people do this,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: actually there's four, but I'm not going to go on.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Actually I might just group this into one.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's rearranging the house all things, especially in the kitchen.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It's very kitchen related and not telling me. So you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: know how when you're making something to eat for you,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the kids or whatever, muscle memory takes you to the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: covert or drawer where that thing is as soon as
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: something's moved without you knowing your muscle memories, Like, hang
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on a.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Minute, dude, that the bin bin's move, Bin's move was there?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I used to be in the middle of the room.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Now it's in the corner.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I put amusedly by wrapper on the floor the other
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: day here because I was like, this is.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Laura was like, it's just a fucking eyesaw, isn't it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And I think it's a white it's a white bin.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You lucky it's still out in public, because this is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the other thing that she would do when she's moving
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: things around, she puts things in the cupboard, like the toaster. Yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: where's the toaster gone?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: If it's being used on a daily basis, I think
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: it warrants being left out on the bench.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's earned, it's earned its place of real estate on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the bench, I think, especially if it's on a piece
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of bench I'm not going to use anyway.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's more work to put it away. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: also there's bloody crumbs everywhere.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And you put crumbs from the bench to the floor
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to the cupboard, so you're really dirty in three areas
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: of your house instead of the one spot which you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: can lift it, wipe, put it back down.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: And it's a good looking toaster. It's a brevel.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You get, you get, you want to show it up.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: It's a sand colored toaster.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I want to show my appliances off, Thank you much.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: It doesn't get any better than that. I mean, it
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: was a smag sure maybe that it could stay, but Brebell,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: surely it's up there second tier.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want people to walk in my house and go, oh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you got a Berebel, I got the same and you're like,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it's paying off.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: It matches the kettle.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: See, we get it. Yeah, what is it about that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they don't get? I don't live in a museum, but
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we love our wives so much, oh very much.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I wouldn't want it any other way. I have
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: to be very, very careful, very careful not to criticize
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the lawyer right now, because she's taken the brunt of
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the nighttime situation. Oh yeah, we have a newborn pop wait,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: five or six weeks old. That is fresh for the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: new listeners out there, and it's Matt's third child. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: have to wake up. And I'm like, oh, gosh, Poppy
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: was awake a lot last night. And she goes, yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I know, wasn't she? And I'm like, god yeah, And
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: then you leave the room. He's like, sohole, she knows
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't wake up.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I know you didn't. You're a deep sleeper.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: She might be wondering about my bad I did ask.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You and you just shunned me off. So do explain.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: What does it say my special person? Grandparents' Day is Grandparents' Day?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Is it grandparents at your school? Yeah? It's frank there.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: No Frank's actually I think he's at the doctors this morning.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So Mimi is there, which.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Is Frank's not there.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: No, he's guarded too, but he goes to a lot
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: of things.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of rules regarding grandparents day. Are you
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: allowed two grandparents? My sister was like, is at the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: same school, her kids are a little bit older, but
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: she was like, only one grandparents allowed her child.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that's just causing division within families.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, surely they can allow, especially.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: All four of them alive.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Then what do you do? We didn't have any grandparents
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: available today, yes, so we didn't want Marley to be
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: there empty handed, or a couple of kids there with
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: no one at their desk. I'm always I was like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go over and be like it's okay.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I know I did that fade interest like a little kids.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: There, but I went as her favorite person. And then
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Laura Bloody came along as well, and I was like.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So then she's like, give the badge to her. Now,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you're my special kind of person.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: But it was a very exciting morning, about forty five
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: minutes just doing a couple of little drawings, A bit
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: of reading made the badge. I don't want to attack
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: the older generation here. ASH don't want to attack.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Them, but I will go for it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I was as I was coloring in I was doing
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: a drawing with Miley, was sitting at her desk, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I would pay attention to some of the other grandparents there,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: in particular the grand pas, the older males, and watch
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: them trying to interact.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It's really awkward with a young child.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: He's like, all right, Timmy, what did you want to draw?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: And Timmy's like, we can draw pictures and he's like okay,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: and then he's like, on his phone.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Why don't you draw a picture from the First World War.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'd like to feel some nostalgia.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I have no idea how to interact with kids.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: They don't. My dad's getting better, like I know, like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: when I first had kids and he was he wasn't
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: very hands on, but like he's looked after them on
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: his own, like he spent the night, well, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: babysat for us a couple of times on his own
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: without Mum. Strategically, Mom's like he needs to get better
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: at this, and now he's just flying loves it. So
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it is hard for them. But like once they realized
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: they if they just get on their level, Yeah, these.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Grandparents were not there anywhere. Yeah, they were like it
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: was level twelve. These kids are on ground level. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: there was there was a massive disconnect and well he's there,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: like Dad, I'm like, right now I'm watching the grandparents.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Did you get the old g you're a young grandfather?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I had to pretend like.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I was old. I was like, hello, Molly, am I
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: old ash.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Ellie couldn't be there on Grandparents' Day because because she's
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: back in hospital and she's doing good. She's doing good,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: but she just can't keep any weight on.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: She's still have they got to the back problem.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Finally, finally it's called seeded Iff, seed Iff Coostril. Where
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: do they come up with the name? I know he
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: told me the name of the phone, and I was like,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: can you say that one more time slower? Can you
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: spell it out for me?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: People struggle to name their kids. How are people out
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: there naming fucking infections?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: And ship shortened to seed iff.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And then they shorten what's the point?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Just make it seed iff. But but Thursday, we were together,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: weren't we know, we weren't ignore me.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: You would have been recording or something.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: And a cool mom. And she was really well raised
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: home and she was like, not with it. She's not
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: about nine kilos, there's not much and she's not a
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: big person to begin with, bagabones. And I'm going to
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: say this name wrong.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a I know, sorry Ellie, but a gashtro

  Speaker 1: but I want to We've thrown our wives under the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: bus enough. I want to throw my kids under the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: bus a little bit here. Please look between April and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take responsibility for how this panned out.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: We were just away on the weekend with some friends.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: They how was that weekend? I'm about to tell you
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: if you just waited now, I'll tell you about a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: specific moment. The weekend was great, okay.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Good weather was that it was overcast.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: The first day was a little cars but it was
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: kind of nice and pleasant because I wasn't too hot anyway.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: So we arrived kids, no kids, kids with kids, families.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: There's two other families. There's three families, okay, and a
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: friend of mine they there wider family have a like
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a shack. Okay, at a place called Swan Bay. It's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: like a row of houses on on a bay obviously,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but it's not like it's not bustling, if that makes sense.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It's quite small, quiet north of Sydney North, a couple
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of hours north, and it is quite an old house.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's like maybe a half hour past a
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: little bit more. And the house is really old, like
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: it's been passed down pretty much. There's been minor tweaks
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: to it, but it's it's got the authentic authenticity of
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: an old house. Okay, it's like that, like old carpet old.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It's probably a spestos whatever on land sheds in the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: back like a proper old slight lean. Yeah. If it
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: gets windy, it runs on the front like not that bad,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: not that so anyway, I took the family. My family
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: had been there before, but when they were much younger.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Macy probably was in the picture, and Oscar was quite young,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: so none the wiser, some would say, So I've taken
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: them to this house, and we've got there. We got
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: there first, and I've gone and I've unlocked the house,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and my kids get out of the car and the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: first thought is, what's this place? And I was like,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't really preface that it's not going to be
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: quite as modern as they used to.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Now they've got the new apartment.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: And you know what it reminded me of. And I'll
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: tell you why it reminded me of. This is you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: know the movie Grown Ups by Adam Sandler, and he's
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: so he's quite he's like a celebrity in this in
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: this movie, and his kids are used to a certain
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: type of lifestyle, but they go on holiday to a
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: lake house which is nowhere near the same lifestyle as that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: For example, they cut from a silver cloth, say thank you.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Yep, I think that's right. I would say this, But
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: for example, the TV has a big box on the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: back of it. Why is it so fat form? Yeah?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And they're why does it not have Netflix? Where's YouTube?
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Why is there no Wi Fi? Where's the dishwasher?
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: It's coming now?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Literally, it's like, can we just order something to eat?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, who the fuck are these kids? Where are
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the hoverboards?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Exactly right? And they're like, I'm like, the kitchen is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: like original kitchen. There's no dishwasher. Who's going to wash
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the dishes.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: It's like me relaxed, gid, I'm doing it. It's per usual.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like so all of the modern amenities that they're
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: used to, this house has none of them, right, And
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it was like, ekon, no way, They've just installed ceiling vans.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: That was the entertainment of the day.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: The kids were just like watching the ceiling than right.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But the whole vibe of the place is to get
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: away from the model the man. That's the whole charm
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: But it takes I guess a little while to TRANSI
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: into a new environment for the kids.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was like I was like, are you
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: fucking guys for real? Like, but then I thought, ah,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: this is probably my fault that they're like this, because,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: for example, we have a robot vacuum and my kids
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: were like, wow, that's been nice. It was free. It
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: was like the rice bubbles dry rice bubbles thank god,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: ended up on the old disgusting carpet in this house
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and Oscar was like, oh, the rabot will get it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, fuck at hell. And every five minutes
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I would come back to one of the kids trying
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to work out why the TV didn't have Netflix, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I kept saying we're not here for this. There's yards
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: at the back, beauty.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: That like like the difference is right. So the guy
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: who owns the hat or the family who owns the house,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: their kid gets there and he's like, come on, Oscar,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: let's go straight out to the bay looking for crabs.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: He knows what's up. He knows what's happening, and it's
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: like he's like, okay. So for example, sometimes you know
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: when you go to a salt water body of salt
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: water and it can be the salt can make your
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: skin itchy.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Ah Jesus, yeah, it's that is then it's a night.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It was like the end of the world when Oscar
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: realizes made him itchy.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And also it's not it's like every third, like time
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: they're in the salt water makes him ITCHI not every time,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: so it's like such a roll of the dice. I'm like, well,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: they'd be itchy and then mylet's.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah's attacking me. That's exactly what it was like
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: with Oscar. He just comes running like I thought something.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Was really wrong, dipped in acid.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's like I was like, what's wrong, But
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: it's like I'm it was shut I was like getting
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the shower robots. Ye has helped me. I was like,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, go have a shower, Like you have
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to wait for the hot water to come on there.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: It was like, oh, what a shower. I'm like, it'll stop,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: it's not what anything to do with water.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: God, these kids, what am I raising? What the fuck
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: am I doing? Where's the PlayStation? Oh, for fuck's sake,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: please tell me.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: There's a simulator here.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Literally, And it was like, oh my god, I just do.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: You think that The other parents were looking at you
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: being like.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Oh god, I think we got it all out of
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the way before everyone got there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: The first couple hours.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: It was in the first couple of minutes.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: It was like did he come good by the end?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Once they got used to that, there's no modern
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: amenities in this house. Man like, he was like, that's right,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: We'll like obviously there's no coffee machine, and I'm like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: not my kids drink coffee. But they witnessed us at
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: home using a coffee machine with the knock box and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the steam, the whole fucking woo ha lardie dar version
• 27:53

  Speaker 1: it was it just gave the IRG like they unappreciate
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: what they've got and they were like so disappointed. It
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: was like, they're going because that's the thing. They were
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: like so excited to go on holidays, right, but when
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: they got there they felt like it was more of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a concentration camp than a holiday anyway. But I spent
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: the whole time, just being like be more appreciative and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: all this sort of shit. But then we get home
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and it's like back to the normal, back to the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: norm pretty much where it's like the robots, Oh my god,

  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a weird hope to have.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: My mum's and Prince of Wales.
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, yeah, the old dead, two birds
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: with one stone.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: How's the rest of your recovery going?
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Well? It was going really well, so I posted surgery.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: It was a really big success, you know. I recovered
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: really well, and then I was you know, and you
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: tube out each day and you drain it each day,
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: and I was in real good spirits and then I
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: left Tostl after ten days, which was absurd, Like the
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: surgeon was so I stoked with ours recovering and he
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: said he was happy for me to cover from home.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: So it was going really well into this little hiccup.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: So hoping this is just a just a little outline.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: The timing of it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: Is pretty shit because it's my bloody birthday today actually,
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: so it's.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, happy birthday May So it's it's not an ideal
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: place to spend your birth sab.

  Speaker 4: It was funny but the nurse came in for the food.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Came in this morning on clear fluids and I had
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: some jelly and I was like, oh, well, I've never
• 32:39

• 32:43
  Speaker 6: a minute later the nurse came in and said happy.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Birthday, so I'll thank you.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: And she's like, now I just have to do.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Your heparin injection, which is like a daily needles stab
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: into your leg for reducing blood plots.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, that's that's exactly what you want.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: To exact you want your birthday jelly and exactly a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: massive all.
• 33:01

• 36:55
  Speaker 3: We really appreciate it. Ash. There's a very quick story
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: I know you've been you've been itching to tell a
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: story about about Macy and a seal.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Well, now I feel like it's not going to be
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: that good.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: No, sorry, I've just said and you've told us that
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: it's one of the best stories. We often complain about parenting, Okay,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: when I say often every episode, every episode, but it's
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: also important Ash to say at times that we do
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: love this job.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the dad job or the podcast job.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: The dad job. Of course we love the podcast. Ever,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: everyone knows we never complained about the podcast.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: I always do when you're not around.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Sometimes this episode, I'm like, Ash, is a nightmare, Like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: don't listen to that one.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: That's not good.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: But something happened to me recently that I was like, obviously,
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: it's hard work, it's exhausting, it's relentless, it's frustrating at times,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: but then these are moments they just completely remove all
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: of that frustration and also like numb the frustration that's
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: to come. So at the moment. Marley loves a little note.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I make her lunch in the morning and in her
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: lunch box, her little like cooler bag. All write a
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: note and I'll put it in there. Sometimes are really
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: dumb notes. For example, why can't eggs tell each other jokes?
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Because I crack each other up very good.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: She's like, I didn't get that one, and I'll try
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: another one. I was like, I read a book about glue.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I couldn't put it down. Okay, So he just.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Chatjep hered a bunch of.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: It.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I like it. I do like her and she doesn't
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: know that. Get them.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she doesn't know that. And then I wrote her
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: a nice letter.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: And how did that go?
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: It went really well?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: No, what did it say? We got it here?
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I said, dear Marley, this is your dad writing this.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I host to avoid any confusion.
• 39:04

• 39:51
  Speaker 1: a fun. I hope you had fun at work. You
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: are crying. That is lovely and that's cry worthy, I think,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: and also well written from happens to be That is wild.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, sometimes as hard as parenting is, when you
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: get little moments.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, everything is forgotten and it makes it all worthwhile.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: There is something that your children can give you that
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: nothing else in the world can. And that's exactly what
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about. It's things like that that people that
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: don't have kids will never understand. That's what I was saying.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: So now I feel like I can't tell you my story.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: You try to beef me up on the story and
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: then you get your dish out that sort of stuff.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: So when I get that note, I'm like, oh, that's
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: beautiful spelling.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: We're going to be like spelling mistake. She put a
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: seat in that making anyway we can come back to
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: my story. And other times I don't feel it's fitting
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Sorry, No, don't know.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: No, I like that much better. That's we can there's
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: no rush on that one. Shall we go into life?
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Tell me loud, Tell me little Loud.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I was at the Halloween party with a foot incident
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: with Laura.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, and the horrific foot that is Laura.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I love you.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: Oh god, she has beautiful feet. We're at the party
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: and a couple of parents there were like, oh, what
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: do you do? And I said, I do a podcast.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: My bad just went off. I said, oh, I do
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: a podcast and like what do you talk about? And
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I'd say, oh, you know, sometimes we talk about parenting lies.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: And then one parent was like, oh, she had a
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: couple of wines and she's like yes. She's like I've
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: got to lie. I can tell you yes, and she
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: was like oh, it's a bit.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Of a bad one. And I was like, no, we
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: never judge, you know, we will, but maybe on occasion
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I will.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: And she goes, oh, look, you know the story Gruffalo yep,
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: And I was like yeah, h I know. And she goes, well,
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: look my daughter's really afraid of the Gruffalo. And I
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: was like I get that, you know, it's scary, scary,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: scary character. And she's like, God, sometimes when you know,
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: like she's being a bit naughty. I pretend like the
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Grufflo's coming and if there's any kind of noise because
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: in an apartment complex, she's like, that's the gruffalo. Oh
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: that'll get if you're not a slip, grufflo will come.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: It's the same as saying like, you're not going to
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: get anything for Christmas.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Right, She's like, is that causing any long term PTSD?
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: The good thing about that is you'll never know until
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: later on.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Here of being abducted by a huge grizzly animal that's
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: on par with a.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Bear, unless she gets a grizzly kink that don't makes sense,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: So you won't know it's caused any trauma.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: And she'll even go as far as that. She'll say
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: that she'll go, let me go out and check, and
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: she's like the hang on, wait there, and she's like,
• 43:03

  Speaker 1: Oh that's good. That's good. So make them scared of something.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: And she's petrified of the petrified.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: And I think that's better than like, I think that's
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: better like that, like the other characters in the world,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: like Santa and the Easter Bunny. We just let them in,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Like at least with the Gruffler, you'd be like, oh,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: try and keep them out for as long as possible.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Get the broomstick.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's good.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: She came out and saw us one time and she
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: was like, gosh, that was a tough battle. They didn't have.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: She just walks in like limps in. That's good. I
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: like it. With the fake arm anything, the scary child,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I'm all about well said. I've got one from a
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: listener here as well, from Danny L. I've caught my
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: son swearing sneakily, a softly whispered fuck here and chat
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: there like that. I've generally told him that Santa has
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: a list in keeps telling you of how many times
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: kids swear. His face was very worried. I like, how
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: was like whispering it. Yeah, he could just be walking
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: around down fuck this fuck bad like my kids. But
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: that's my fault.
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: Ship.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, would you say nothing?
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: I was on the phone to someone in my car. Also,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: the best place to take a phone calls in your car.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I just can't say it and the guy that was
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: on the other line was very potty mouthed, very bad
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: and my kid is so used to that now that
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: we got out of the car and I was like, oh, gee,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: said a lot of naughty words, and he goes, oh,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear it, doesn't even hear it anymore. So
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: that's good, excess, that's great because now I'm just like
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: fuck this and funk that around now he's so desensitized,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: so desensitive and honestly, like I have always said, I
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: will never change who I am and how I speaker,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: and like they understand that they're aughty words instead of
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: white noise.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: You just it's like ship ship ship sh.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Fuck And it's like, oh, like even this morning, I
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: was like, no, like I just add the word fucking
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: the sentences as you do it, because it's just like
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: such a habit and that's just who I am. He
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't even take any notice anymore. It's perfect. It's worked
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a treat. Macy, on the other hand, that's another week
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I'm and she's like, questions, I got Okay, I've got
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: a question. It's not a list of questions, but hopefully
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: we'll help the listeners. You never know, let me set
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: the scene please. I'm at the park with Macy's, Macey
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: and I. It's a week day. I have her on Thursdays.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Macy's my nearly four year old. Two more weeks before
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and immunizations. April wrote that downy.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Fucking do the name registry thing for Poppy.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: She's still no named got eight weeks so we're still
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: stuck with Poppy. Good because I don't want to do that,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: just to look at the paperwork and I'm like, I
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: don't give shit about her name. I just don't want
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: to do that. Jim last, No, you're safe.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: I thank god.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm in the park with Macy's. It's a pretty
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: quiet day because other kids are a kin do you whatever,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: bah blah. Anyway, it's a park with a fence around it.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Safe first, cool to be cautious. So I'm pushing MACI
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: on the swing and the gate is right there and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: this car backs up to the grass and the kid,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: the toddler, gets out of the car, runs across the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: grass to the gate and I'm there. The mum's getting
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: things out of the car. There's you know, it's a
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: safe spot, safe place the kids right there, and I'm
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: looking at this kid who's looking at me thinking open
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: the fucking gate, come on, and I'm like, you do it? Yeah? Yeah.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: And my question is to.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: The listener, if they didn't kids look at us like
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: we're just servants.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Most kids do. Yeah. So my question to the listener
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: is do I open the gate or do I ignore
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: the child and wait for the parent to come over
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and open the gate and let them in. The reason
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: why I asked this is because I felt bad, because
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I'm quite chivalry is not dead with me.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: I'll open the gate, very caring, giving person.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I'm like, what if I
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: open the gate and that parent comes over and like, hey,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: you've just let my kid in. It's not your kid,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: it's not your.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Now he's dead and you.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Know, now what do I do?
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: So my question is do you open the gate at playgrounds?
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Are the children of the children that you don't know
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: that you don't.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: I think if it's coming inside into the enclosure, it's
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: totally fine.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it is.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Also depends how much think no far out. It's just
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: easy just to ignore other children, isn't it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But then I don't want the parent to come over.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: And be like, if say what you can't for the
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: parent coming inside has got full hands, full of different
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: and sometimes those pop locked doors to get into the play,
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: they're hard to open. I think if you're opening it
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: for the parents, I think, what you definitely don't want
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: to do? We can we can all agree that you don't.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes when leaving daycare and a parent, you know,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: I'll go to the sign out in the iPad and
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: then Marley said, Marley's cool. If Lowelan runs to the
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: gate leaving and a parent goes here, you go, oh, yeah,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: that's gone.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: If the kid's trying to get out, then no, that's
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: a definite no note. Yeah. But then again I.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: Reckon, But what would? How would? The most important consideration
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: here is how's makes he going to react? Because if
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I'm pushing Lola on the swing and I back off
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: for two pushes, She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: What the pain for service?
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I pushed me a piece of shit?
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: Like push yourself?
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: And so if I walk away, if I leave her,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: if I desert Lola on the swing to then care
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: for another child, She's gonna lose it. Yeah.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: But also I don't want the parent being like, what,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: you're too good to opening game for us.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think I don't know.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: You're looking busy.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: If you're If you're on your phone and you look
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: up at the gate and you see it a child
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: there in need, and you go back to the phone,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: you're once you're on the swing and you're pushing. That
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: removes you from any type of responsibility to help anybody out.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: But what if they stopped, they parked there, and their
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: intention was to not go to the park, but the
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: kids ran to the park.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: There are so many levels imagine that.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks man, Yeah, we're actually we're already late.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: We're going we're going to a fucking birthday party down
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: the road, and you've just ruined the whole day.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Your piece of ship, exactly right. There's so many differences, man,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: just safe just pretended in zem If you don't know.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: The child or the parent, I just I just I mean,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: even if I know the parent, I kind.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Of yeah, I probably could have been like, hey, is
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: it okay if they come in, But.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: But then you're like you're trying to hit on me,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: what's going on?
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Then there's so many I'm married, right, never stopped a
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: man before they think of the outcomes here, Because but
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: what if I did say that and she's like, you
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: were such a polite man and I and then all
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I've got a new best friend. There's
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: so many different I just don't know what to do.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: So what I did do is I was like, all right,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: the kids right here, Okay, the mum's getting her stuff out.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: I just poked my tongue out at him, and then
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: I went back to pushing Macie.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: That's weird, that's so I blew him my kiss.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: I was like, what do you? Moved on with my
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Lafe just thought it was funny. I entertained that kid as.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Well, that's a weird. Please, if you're out there, don't
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: be poking your tongue out at random kids that you
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: don't know you're going to come across.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Pull the face it him? Why just not a misgender
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the child? Oh my god, there's so many elements to
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: this question.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Anyway, it's a minefield out there.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: It's a minefield. I think you're right with saying we
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: can all agree to not let them out. That sounded
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: bad think. That sounded that sounded more captive.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: Just focus on the swing. When you're pushing your kid
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: on the swing, focus on the one and you.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Can't see them. Just pretend you're blind, oh.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: God walking stick with you the cane and then you
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: start tapping smart.
