- 0:16Speaker 1: looked around it no green bins on the street. And
- 0:19Speaker 1: I swear I checked the calendar, and I was like, well,
- 0:21Speaker 1: joke's on you guys. And as I was taking in,
- 0:23Speaker 1: my neighbor looked at me as I was retreating back
- 0:26Speaker 1: home with a full green bin. Oh no, oh, the embarrassment.
- 0:33Speaker 2: So you got it wrong?
- 0:33Speaker 1: Did I get it wrong? Or did the council get
- 0:36Speaker 1: it wrong?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Luckily, the people across the street from my house, their
- 0:38Speaker 2: bins are out like three days before, because there's just
- 0:41Speaker 2: the two old fuddy duddies that barely fill them up.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Three days before.

- 1:36Speaker 2: Like you don't know what it is. You know exactly
- 1:38Speaker 2: what's salivating.
- 1:40Speaker 1: It's ruling. You're like a starving lion looking at the
- 1:44Speaker 1: carcass of a hippopotamus. I shouldn't I shouldn't have gone hippo,
- 1:49Speaker 1: should have gone gazelle.
- 1:50Speaker 2: You should have done something? And I was like, go
- 1:53Speaker 2: on with the extra synonym.
- 1:58Speaker 1: How you and me have podcast idea with a lack
- 2:02Speaker 1: of ability to talk. It's a real mystery. I what
- 2:05Speaker 1: I was trying to say is you are salivating.
- 2:07Speaker 2: I am salivating. I'm also reminiscing of a simpler time
- 2:11Speaker 2: called the weekend, yes, in which we were able to
- 2:14Speaker 2: enjoy a couple of these something a little bit different
- 2:18Speaker 2: to what we're usually drinking from Stonewood, which is the
- 2:20Speaker 2: hazy pale al. It is the hazy pale ale to
- 2:24Speaker 2: step up from the pacific ale.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Let's crack it one second, yeah, okist.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Little cheers, cheers, my friend.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yeah, we were down the beach. It was a little
- 2:34Speaker 1: bit windy, but it was still lovely to have the
- 2:36Speaker 1: sand in between my toes. You and me, we're looking
- 2:39Speaker 1: out to the horizon as the sun was setting, enjoying
- 2:42Speaker 1: a beer as Laura chased after four kids, four children
- 2:47Speaker 1: on our own, April decided not to come down because
- 2:49Speaker 1: she was like, it's far too windy.
- 2:50Speaker 2: She can't do to go to the beach. So Laura,
- 2:54Speaker 2: she was on beer patrol. She was cracking the beers
- 2:56Speaker 2: and handing them down.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Hey, here's a question for you. What is a hazy
- 3:01Speaker 1: pale ale?
- 3:04Speaker 2: Isn't it just a pale al but hazy.
- 3:06Speaker 1: You have technically answered the question. Hazy pale ale ash
- 3:10Speaker 1: it has some juicy or citrus notes to it.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Oh, I can taste them. Actually, now this one in particular,
- 3:18Speaker 2: Man from Stone and Wood, was temporary in the range
- 3:22Speaker 2: and now it is core range because it is soap popular.
- 3:25Speaker 1: It is delicious.
- 3:25Speaker 2: It is delicious. Here's my friend, cheers to you. And
- 3:28Speaker 2: this is available in all good bottle shops and pubs
- 3:30Speaker 2: on tap or you can get it online. And of
- 3:33Speaker 2: course we'd like to thank stone Wood for providing the beers.
- 3:36Speaker 2: For the episode. Let's get into it.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Matt recently I invited you along to an event which
- 3:43Speaker 1: you didn't come to. Do you remember it's a band
- 3:48Speaker 1: called Diversity. Now, for anyone who is not familiar Diversity,
- 3:53Speaker 1: it is Meadow Kine. Oh yes, KRP music. Yes, yes, yes,
- 3:57Speaker 1: they come together. They do kids music. It's very very
- 4:01Speaker 1: very good. Okay, it's very very good. Mattow Kind invited me.
- 4:06Speaker 1: This is way back in the day. To give some context,
- 4:09Speaker 1: matdow Kind invited me to one of their gigs. This
- 4:11Speaker 1: is when Marley was a lot younger. I didn't know
- 4:14Speaker 1: their music, and I thought I'll be polite and say sure,
- 4:17Speaker 1: I'll come along to your gig. We went, and Marley
- 4:20Speaker 1: was obsessed. Right for two years now she has loved them.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Have you know that you know their songs? No, I'm
- 4:28Speaker 1: not overly familiar. Like, let me give you a little taste.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I'm sorry that I couldn't make it.
- 4:36Speaker 1: I understand, and to be honest, you did the right thing.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Okay, go on.
- 4:40Speaker 1: So Diversity have a new song. After a twelve month hiatus,
- 4:45Speaker 1: they have been back in the recording studio and they
- 4:48Speaker 1: have a brand new banger.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Highly anticipated.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Marley was off her rocker when she found out that
- 4:55Speaker 1: they have a new song. Like all good songs now
- 4:58Speaker 1: they require a dance video. Yeah yeah, And they said
- 5:03Speaker 1: it's like a boiler rooms set up where we'd like
- 5:05Speaker 1: to inviting kids down to where we're holding.
- 5:09Speaker 2: The get on the heavy narcotics.
- 5:11Speaker 1: We're going to give them a lot of cocaine and
- 5:14Speaker 1: film it. And that's the film clip. You didn't come
- 5:16Speaker 1: with Macy. Totally understandable if she's not a fan. We
- 5:20Speaker 1: didn't want to there in the first place. It was
- 5:22Speaker 1: actually my fault that we couldn't make it go on.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I have thrown my back out the night before doing
- 5:29Speaker 1: some extra curricular activities.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Shag us back.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Is that what it was? The whole time, I'm like,
- 5:34Speaker 1: what's caused? And you're like, I don't know. It's a mystery.
- 5:37Speaker 2: We'll never know Shager's back.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Meanwhile, April was just sitting there with a guilty looking
- 5:41Speaker 1: her face.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Yeah right, No, it was legit and I couldn't drive
- 5:47Speaker 2: that far. Poor Macey, she missed out, but she didn't
- 5:49Speaker 2: really know.
- 5:50Speaker 1: It was a long way and so we we knew
- 5:53Speaker 1: there were going to be a few kids there, didn't
- 5:55Speaker 1: know how many but all week Marley and Lola were
- 5:59Speaker 1: so excited about the fact that they get to see diversity.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Marley kind of understands now that you know music videos
- 6:07Speaker 1: are a thing. She's like, I'm going to be in
- 6:09Speaker 1: a music video and I was like, fuck, yeah you are.
- 6:12Speaker 1: That's wild. Isn't that cool? And even in the lead
- 6:15Speaker 1: up too. One afternoon, after I picked the girls up
- 6:17Speaker 1: from daycare, we called kop music Christy for those playing
- 6:21Speaker 1: at home, and Marley was like, holy shit. She's like,
- 6:26Speaker 1: was that the Christie?
- 6:27Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, sure was. That's a sort
- 6:29Speaker 2: of pool your old man has around here.
- 6:31Speaker 1: I was thrilled that I was able to enable something
- 6:34Speaker 1: that would make my kids so happy.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Oh that's great. So you took them both on your own,
- 6:38Speaker 2: on my own, Okay, that's wow. Okay.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Went out to the Factory Theater, great live music venue
- 6:44Speaker 1: where the film clip was being filmed. One little issue, ash,
- 6:50Speaker 1: one little issue. Sydney traffic is very bad. No, yeah, yeah,
- 6:55Speaker 1: shark horror for those of you who don't live in Sydney.
- 6:58Speaker 1: It's a fucking nightmare. And it was like thirty or something,
- 7:00Speaker 1: three thirty. I checked it in maps. How long it
- 7:04Speaker 1: would take. I checked at about twelve o'clock. I said
- 7:07Speaker 1: half an hour, so I was like, great, half an hour,
- 7:10Speaker 1: that's all I need. Picked up the kids earlier from
- 7:13Speaker 1: daycare on the road at three o'clock. School traffic. Oh,
- 7:18Speaker 1: half an hour, all of a sudden, looks like forty minutes.
- 7:21Speaker 1: All of a sudden, ash forty five minutes. So we're
- 7:25Speaker 1: late to the film clip. The issue that this causes
- 7:28Speaker 1: is that any transition to a new environment with kids
- 7:32Speaker 1: is a bit scary, and you don't ever want to
- 7:34Speaker 1: be like the last person as we arrive in, like
- 7:37Speaker 1: we parked the car, we race in.
- 7:39Speaker 2: It's kind of like when you go meet up with
- 7:40Speaker 2: your mates at the par when they've been there for
- 7:42Speaker 2: hours and you've got to play catch up. Yes, but
- 7:44Speaker 2: they're like, I've got to get from my somber mood
- 7:47Speaker 2: in the cast. Maybe a sleep on the way.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Okay, look, I'm glad you said it. Okay, Both kids
- 7:54Speaker 1: doze off because the traffic's so bad. So I'm staring
- 7:58Speaker 1: down the barrel of a nightmare scenario. I'm late. I
- 8:02Speaker 1: gotta wake the kids up. They've only been asleep for
- 8:04Speaker 1: like twenty minutes, and I'm going to throw them into
- 8:07Speaker 1: like a boiler rooms set.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Up to play catch up, to play catch up.
- 8:12Speaker 1: As we walk in there and they've already started filming
- 8:15Speaker 1: and the song, the song is like a techno song.
- 8:18Speaker 1: It's like high energy. Also, the kids are a little
- 8:23Speaker 1: bit older. There's not many five year olds. It's like
- 8:25Speaker 1: there are a couple of five year olds, but there's
- 8:27Speaker 1: a lot of like seven, eight, nine. There's even a
- 8:29Speaker 1: ten year old kid there. So what do you do?
- 8:34Speaker 2: Just trying to make friends? I'm like, all right, kids,
- 8:38Speaker 2: they go in and dance, and they were like fuck that.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Oh man.
- 8:43Speaker 1: They were like clinging onto me for like their life
- 8:46Speaker 1: dependent on it.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Especially it's not like your usual environment, like no.
- 8:50Speaker 1: No, Like all of a sudden they wake up. Next thing,
- 8:53Speaker 1: they're in the factory theater. Ladies are blaring smoke Machines's
- 8:57Speaker 1: Monkey and they were like, there is no way they're
- 9:00Speaker 1: going to do it like dance on stage. And I
- 9:03Speaker 1: was like, but this is what you wanted.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Do you know what it's giving. Have you seen that
- 9:07Speaker 2: Friend's episode where there it's like a New Year's Eve
- 9:11Speaker 2: dance party that's on TV.
- 9:14Speaker 1: They give them the camera stay loose.
- 9:18Speaker 2: They're like trying so hard to get on camera.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Yeah. This the thing is, they were like the film
- 9:26Speaker 1: clips being filmed on stage. Moli and Lawla are still
- 9:29Speaker 1: like I walked into the room, being like, they will
- 9:31Speaker 1: follow me in if I come in. They're like following
- 9:34Speaker 1: They were standing in the doorway. I am not coming over.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I gave it an hour. An hour, yeah, because I
- 9:43Speaker 1: thought I'll let them warm into it, climatize.
- 9:47Speaker 2: They just get worse worse in the environment.
- 9:49Speaker 1: They fucking did not want a bar of it.
- 9:51Speaker 2: How many times did you have to hear the song?
- 9:54Speaker 1: Well, that was fine, The song was great. Is it Monday? No,
- 9:57Speaker 1: it's Tuesday?
- 9:58Speaker 2: No? Is it Wednesday? Now? I don't think it sounds
- 10:00Speaker 2: a bit repetitive to me, like all good children's music,
- 10:05Speaker 2: very repetible.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And then Mary was like, I think I want to
- 10:07Speaker 1: go home, and I was like, fair enough, we'll go home.
- 10:09Speaker 1: And then in the car then she started crying because
- 10:11Speaker 1: she's like, I missed the film? Will I be in
- 10:14Speaker 1: the film clip?
- 10:14Speaker 2: And I was like, well not, well really, you've actually
- 10:17Speaker 2: got to get involved, kid, And so.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Then they were in tears. The fact that they ruined
- 10:23Speaker 1: the opportunity.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny they do that isn't it. I was
- 10:26Speaker 2: just done the same thing where it's like he's just
- 10:28Speaker 2: been too scared to do something, and that's fine. You're
- 10:30Speaker 2: allowed to be scared. I think if I can talk
- 10:33Speaker 2: you into even just getting involved a little bit, but
- 10:35Speaker 2: then like he'll be we'll be in the car on
- 10:37Speaker 2: the way home and he'll be real sulky.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Didn't help that. I was like, that's your one chance
- 10:41Speaker 1: to be to show his kid.
- 10:43Speaker 2: And you ruined its stage. Dad, You're an embarrassment to
- 10:47Speaker 2: the family.
- 10:48Speaker 1: So yeah, you you didn't miss out on anything, dude.
- 10:52Speaker 2: And look the solo going taking them solo? Is you
- 10:55Speaker 2: spent every Thursday with both kids. I usually only spend
- 11:00Speaker 2: Monday and Thursdays with Macie only because Oscar goes full
- 11:03Speaker 2: time except for school holidays.
- 11:06Speaker 1: It's an interesting time, isn't it? School?
- 11:08Speaker 2: And I do feel for all the parents out there
- 11:10Speaker 2: for me.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Can we can we give a moment to the parents
- 11:11Speaker 1: out moment of silence?
- 11:13Speaker 2: There you go, that's enough. I only have to deal
- 11:15Speaker 2: with it for three days of the week because the
- 11:17Speaker 2: other two days he does go to a different daycare.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Because you're the community daycare.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Yeah, they do same school holidays, as school, that's a nightmare.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Well you need to find a better daycare.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Bro. No, it's actually not bad to ease into it,
- 11:29Speaker 2: right because next year I'll have him two weeks straight
- 11:32Speaker 2: at home. What are you going to do then? What
- 11:33Speaker 2: are we going to do? Then I'm leaving the country, bro,
- 11:37Speaker 2: I'm just out of here. They can suspend for themselves.
- 11:39Speaker 1: This morning when I drop the kids off. I forgot
- 11:41Speaker 1: that at school on holidays obviously for me, my kids
- 11:43Speaker 1: are in school yet. But it's when I see the
- 11:45Speaker 1: other parents dropping off the younger kids with the bigger
- 11:48Speaker 1: kids who are normally at school in tow and I'm like, oh,
- 11:51Speaker 1: that's right, and I'm like, hey, HOWI And.
- 11:52Speaker 2: They're like a get away from how do you think
- 11:55Speaker 2: I am? I got to this pose kid for two
- 11:58Speaker 2: weeks straight every ten weeks as well. It's like a
- 12:01Speaker 2: camp down to it. But yeah, so like you're on
- 12:03Speaker 2: Mondays now during school holidays, because I obviously share it
- 12:07Speaker 2: with April, I have both kids. And that was yesterday.
- 12:09Speaker 1: You're a great dad, by the way, Thank you, one
- 12:11Speaker 1: of the best.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Thank you. I really appreciate that. First thing was I
- 12:15Speaker 2: was swimming on Monday mornings. That was out of the way.
- 12:18Speaker 2: The best thing about him do swimming is I don't
- 12:19Speaker 2: need to get in the water like I do with Maysie.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Fantasticful love that except for the swimming center. It's so
- 12:26Speaker 2: hot in there. I don't know why. It's like a sauna.
- 12:29Speaker 2: So all of a sudden, I walk outside where it's
- 12:32Speaker 2: like fifteen degree.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Do you run hot or cold?
- 12:34Speaker 2: What do you? I run hot?
- 12:35Speaker 3: Do you?
- 12:35Speaker 2: But I'm outside and it's cold, and I'm like, I've
- 12:38Speaker 2: got to jump in and pans. And then by the
- 12:39Speaker 2: time I was just finished swimming, I'm sweating like a pig.
- 12:41Speaker 2: In that place, I'm like having I'm having my own shower.
- 12:44Speaker 1: And everyone's like, why is that man sitting there like
- 12:47Speaker 1: hyper ventilating with beads and sweat coming down his brow
- 12:51Speaker 1: with no kids? You have children here, right, yes, I promise.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I decided to take them down to the local basketball
- 12:58Speaker 2: courts to ride the scooters around again. Great dad, thank you.
- 13:02Speaker 2: The bar, Thank you. The bar is very low, but
- 13:05Speaker 2: I don't really care because I didn't set the bar.
- 13:07Speaker 2: I'm just hitting it. It was three o'clock in the
- 13:11Speaker 2: afternoon and I'm like, it is too late for lunch.
- 13:14Speaker 2: But I haven't eat lunch and I'm actually getting hungry,
- 13:16Speaker 2: and I was like, hey, should we go get some sushi?
- 13:18Speaker 2: Just maybe a little sushi snack. Anyway, we went down
- 13:22Speaker 2: to the local sushi restaurant, the one we wanted to go.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Who was close? Not good enough?
- 13:28Speaker 1: Very awkward time. Also, can I just not to question
- 13:31Speaker 1: your parenting after giving you so much praise very close
- 13:33Speaker 1: to dinner time?
- 13:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I could roll it into one. You
- 13:36Speaker 2: guys are a five thirty dinner kind of family. Yeah, yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 2: I thought I could roll it into one. If I
- 13:41Speaker 2: feed them enough sushi, then they can maybe have some
- 13:44Speaker 2: fruit or something before they go to bed, which was
- 13:46Speaker 2: the case, and that works tactically good, tachnically work. So
- 13:49Speaker 2: we walked around to another one, okay, and we walked in.
- 13:53Speaker 2: There's no one in there. And I said to the
- 13:55Speaker 2: guy you open? He said, yeah, you want to sit
- 13:57Speaker 2: in and take away? Blah blah blah.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Sure, there's like an open sign on the door.
- 14:01Speaker 2: I didn't see it. The door was open, but it
- 14:03Speaker 2: was dead interesting, don't question me.
- 14:06Speaker 1: What did you order?
- 14:07Speaker 2: Some baby roll some hand rolls, A bit of a
- 14:09Speaker 2: combination of everything. It's pretty good.
- 14:11Speaker 1: Your kids salmon or tuna.
- 14:13Speaker 2: Neither chicken chicken, and avo is like the go to.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Oscar loves avocado sushi with this soy sauce that he
- 14:20Speaker 2: does trying to make this creepy. And we're sitting there
- 14:26Speaker 2: and Oscar goes, Daddy, I need to pooh. Okay, a
- 14:32Speaker 2: bit of an awkward time. We're mid eating. Have you
- 14:35Speaker 2: eaten so much as started to push the poop out
- 14:37Speaker 2: of your butt? Can you hold it?
- 14:38Speaker 1: He's regular?
- 14:39Speaker 2: Are you like busting to take a shit? Or is
- 14:41Speaker 2: it like the first initial instinct of I need this ship?
- 14:44Speaker 2: Where are we at? Can you wait until we're just
- 14:46Speaker 2: about to finish here and go home? We comput at home.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I'm trying to gauze where he's at.
- 14:50Speaker 1: That's a big variant. So do you need a poo now?
- 14:53Speaker 1: Or can we wait till tomorrow? Because can you wait
- 14:57Speaker 1: for your mum's here?
- 14:58Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Can you wait someone's here who want to
- 15:00Speaker 2: wipe your bum? Because there's been times where he's been like, oh,
- 15:03Speaker 2: I need to pooh and I'm busting, and then I'll
- 15:05Speaker 2: take him to the toilet. We'll get there and he'll
- 15:06Speaker 2: be like, oh, actually, I don't need to and I'm like,
- 15:10Speaker 2: you will shit, you will shit. I will squeeze it
- 15:13Speaker 2: out of you. Boy. I said to Okay, where are
- 15:17Speaker 2: we at on the scout and he goes, oh, yeah,
- 15:19Speaker 2: I could probably wait. I was like, okay, cool, because
- 15:21Speaker 2: just keep in mind.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I've got some hand rolls coming and I'm really peckish.
- 15:24Speaker 2: I've also got Macy I've ordered to be out, so yeah, okay.
- 15:27Speaker 2: It was just me an Oscar. I'd be like, okay,
- 15:29Speaker 2: well this is easy. I could wrap this up and
- 15:30Speaker 2: go logistically, I've got to move our whole what's going
- 15:35Speaker 2: on here?
- 15:35Speaker 1: Were you worried that if Macy saw Oscar do a
- 15:38Speaker 1: poo then she would have to do a pood then
- 15:39Speaker 1: you'd be there for like a couple hours.
- 15:41Speaker 2: No, My concerned was this, how desperate are you? And
- 15:45Speaker 2: are you gaslighting me? Then he continued eating and it
- 15:47Speaker 2: was fine for about one second and then I look
- 15:50Speaker 2: over and he's like.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Rinsing in the face and I'm like, are you okay?
- 15:57Speaker 2: He's like yeah, I'm just busting.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'm like for a poop.
- 16:02Speaker 2: He's like yeah, and he's like holding his butt on. No,
- 16:06Speaker 2: have you just shot yourself? Just like his father, it's
- 16:09Speaker 2: been ages since I shit myself to Oscar picked up
- 16:14Speaker 2: and I was like, oh okay, but like you just
- 16:16Speaker 2: said to me, you can hold it, but it was
- 16:19Speaker 2: trying to appease me, and I'm like, oh fuck. I
- 16:21Speaker 2: said to the guy, do you have a toilet, because
- 16:24Speaker 2: you know, with restaurants, especially like a strip of shops,
- 16:27Speaker 2: usually what the case is they share and they.
- 16:30Speaker 1: Give you the big spatula and the sign that says
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm about to do a ship.
- 16:34Speaker 2: And he said, you gotta then walk out to the toilet.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Look at me, everybody. He goes, oh, yeah, we've got
- 16:41Speaker 2: a toilet. He handed me the key. Here's the key.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Was it a spatula, big spatchelor And he said, okay,
- 16:46Speaker 2: So yeah, it's easy. You just go out the door.
- 16:49Speaker 2: You walk up to the end of the street, you
- 16:51Speaker 2: go all the way round the back, and then in
- 16:53Speaker 2: between the dry cleaner and the Indian restaurant there's a
- 16:56Speaker 2: small alleyway. You go down there, down the set of
- 16:59Speaker 2: steps and then it's the door on the right. Jump
- 17:03Speaker 2: on the three three eight bus. No, we're closer, can't
- 17:05Speaker 2: you say? I'm on my own. I've got two kids.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Because taking Oscar means I can't leave Macy leave the restaurant.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Just say, can you just watch Macy's cry her eyes out?
- 17:14Speaker 1: She has no where she is.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Sheol to cry her eyes out. So the next minute
- 17:18Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, well I'm taking this particularly I was
- 17:19Speaker 2: just gonna shot his pants. I have.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Then, hang on, did you not think I've got nappies
- 17:26Speaker 1: here for me?
- 17:27Speaker 2: Don't you didn't bring nappies. They're in the car.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Just get a nappy from the car and put it
- 17:31Speaker 1: on an oscar and tell them shit in the corner.
- 17:32Speaker 2: He wouldn't do it. Try he doesn't have to shore
- 17:36Speaker 2: all right, So I got the key, picked up Macy pick.
- 17:40Speaker 2: At this point, we've dined and dashed. We've left the restaurant,
- 17:43Speaker 2: left all the food there because I've had to walk
- 17:46Speaker 2: oscar up to do a shit. Okay, so I'm walking
- 17:50Speaker 2: up the street. We finally find this toilet. I unlock it.
- 17:53Speaker 2: It's this horrible public toilet. Walk in the toilet. There's
- 17:58Speaker 2: no toilet paper on one store and I was like,
- 18:00Speaker 2: there's a cockerroach a toilet. And as course as he's
- 18:03Speaker 2: his mother's son, looking for any scap of uncleanliness to
- 18:08Speaker 2: delay anything whatsoever, and then he's looking at the toilet
- 18:12Speaker 2: and he's standing there and I've put Macie down and
- 18:15Speaker 2: he's like looking at the toilet, and I was like,
- 18:17Speaker 2: get on it. He was like, oh shit, I'm trying.
- 18:20Speaker 1: And then that's not going to encourage anyone to ship
- 18:22Speaker 1: if you talk to them like that.
- 18:23Speaker 2: I just wanted to right now. He was like, he
- 18:28Speaker 2: wasn't even on the toilet, he was scanning the area.
- 18:31Speaker 1: You give the kid anxiety, you need him to relax,
- 18:34Speaker 1: just scanning, and he goes, I'm trying to push.
- 18:38Speaker 2: I was like, what, still fully clothed, and he gets
- 18:41Speaker 2: up on there and he's nice and perched. I'm just
- 18:44Speaker 2: waiting for him to say, oh, it was just like
- 18:46Speaker 2: a fart or something. I'm waiting for it does happen?
- 18:49Speaker 2: Do a week? Little far started doing it a little
- 18:51Speaker 2: week and then he's given a little push and the
- 18:54Speaker 2: thing hit the back of the bowl. The PSI was unbelievable.
- 18:58Speaker 2: It was like on the bad racked the porcelain, literally,
- 19:03Speaker 2: and then I'm like trying to wipe his ass in
- 19:05Speaker 2: his public toilet. And then I've gone, oh shit, where's Macy.
- 19:09Speaker 2: She's wandered over to the silver trough ah, and she's
- 19:13Speaker 2: got her hand in the silver troll. I'm trying to
- 19:17Speaker 2: wipe an ass in a public toilet, like horrible, What did.
- 19:21Speaker 1: You forget about Mazie?
- 19:23Speaker 2: I was too busy trying to get She was like
- 19:25Speaker 2: right next to me. But she's just you know, she's
- 19:26Speaker 2: like she's the silent assassin.
- 19:28Speaker 1: She fucking goes at the pace of a caterpillar.
- 19:30Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not fart to this little silver trough
- 19:32Speaker 2: and I look over and she's like bathing in it,
- 19:36Speaker 2: trying to figure out what it is. And I'm like,
- 19:37Speaker 2: he's away from that thing. And I wiped all these
- 19:40Speaker 2: kids up eventually, and then made our way back to
- 19:44Speaker 2: the restaurant and the.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Guy he's cleared your plates?
- 19:47Speaker 2: No, no, thankfully I left. Do you know what I
- 19:49Speaker 2: did do? I left my hat, my phone, all this stuff,
- 19:52Speaker 2: so he knew that I was coming back.
- 19:54Speaker 1: You left your phone?
- 19:55Speaker 2: I didn't. I felt so bad. I thought that he
- 19:58Speaker 2: thought maybe that was a ploy for me to to
- 20:00Speaker 2: get free food and leave. And there was no one
- 20:03Speaker 2: else in the restaurant. It was no one else, and
- 20:05Speaker 2: I thought, I just want this guy to look over
- 20:07Speaker 2: and go okay with it. He's definitely coming back through
- 20:09Speaker 2: his face, I guess because a hat on its own
- 20:11Speaker 2: could be like if you got his hat, but hat
- 20:13Speaker 2: and phone is like, don't worry, I'm coming back. Yeah,
- 20:16Speaker 2: and then walk back in and he was kind of like,
- 20:18Speaker 2: how'd you go? And I was like I was to me. Yeah,
- 20:21Speaker 2: I was like, have you got any hand sanitizer? And
- 20:23Speaker 2: he was like, oh yeah. Gives her this big bottle
- 20:25Speaker 2: and I'm like, covering the kids in hand sanitized.
- 20:28Speaker 1: She's drenched in your iine eating a fucking toilet.
- 20:31Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyway, straight back into the sushi. Finished that off
- 20:36Speaker 2: a petite well done.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Such a good dad, such a doting dad, one of
- 20:42Speaker 1: the best.
- 20:45Speaker 2: I have a quick little.
- 20:46Speaker 1: Story and I'm keen to get your opinion on this one. Recently,
- 20:50Speaker 1: I was at a birthday party. This one was held
- 20:53Speaker 1: at a park outdoors, and yeah, these days.
- 20:57Speaker 2: That's pretty standard.
- 20:58Speaker 1: Yeah you got a and especially the ones that are
- 21:01Speaker 1: closer towards the beach, very common to have multiple kids party,
- 21:05Speaker 1: especially down at Bronti for example, which is a big
- 21:08Speaker 1: park and never been there's like multiple like huts.
- 21:11Speaker 2: I love a good heart, very good hearts because you
- 21:14Speaker 2: could decorate them. They quite not that I would.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Quite you definitely wouldn't, but they are quite often decorated.
- 21:21Speaker 1: And on a Saturday or Sunday morning, many of the
- 21:24Speaker 1: huts are taken up by parents who are celebrating the
- 21:26Speaker 1: birth of a child.
- 21:28Speaker 2: And you have to get there early too. Any parent
- 21:30Speaker 2: with young children right now listening are like, my kid's
- 21:33Speaker 2: birthday coming up, and it's at eleven am. I'm getting
- 21:36Speaker 2: there at like fucking seven am. It's logistically it's hard work.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Telling you nominate someone, it's usually dad. You go down
- 21:43Speaker 2: and just sit there. I would fucking love that if
- 21:46Speaker 2: April said, Hey, eleven o'clock party, but I want you
- 21:49Speaker 2: to go down to the park at seven o'clock.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Fend off the other parents on your.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Own, sit there in silence on your phone, and not
- 21:57Speaker 2: be bothered by a child until they get there. Yes,
- 21:59Speaker 2: ma'am reporting for.
- 22:03Speaker 1: So this particular weekend, there must have been like four
- 22:06Speaker 1: or five birthday parties, all quite close to each other,
- 22:10Speaker 1: very close quarters. You're like, effectively you got like, you know,
- 22:13Speaker 1: neighbors of other birthday parties.
- 22:15Speaker 2: There's kids are crossing into other parties.
- 22:17Speaker 1: There is cross pollination of birthday parties. It's just going
- 22:20Speaker 1: to happen. It's inevitable. You want to see what the
- 22:22Speaker 1: others are eating, You want to have a little look
- 22:24Speaker 1: at the spread, look at the entertainment. And I feel
- 22:26Speaker 1: like these days it's pretty standard to have some kind
- 22:30Speaker 1: of entertainment. Sometimes people will have like a spider man.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Remember I told you that there was the ninja ninja
- 22:35Speaker 2: and I thought it was al Kaeda. Yes, yes, but
- 22:39Speaker 2: I recall it was a ninja.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Quite often bubble fairies. That may be the length that
- 22:46Speaker 1: people go to keep the kids entertained.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Giving in mind, birthday parties for young kids are going
- 22:50Speaker 2: to be like two at the most three hours. Face
- 22:53Speaker 2: painting is a good one balloon animal.
- 22:55Speaker 1: If you can get a face painter like a two
- 22:56Speaker 1: on one face paint, a bubble fairy job done very
- 23:00Speaker 1: well done, and they're not cheap as well. I might add,
- 23:03Speaker 1: this birthday party had quite an amazing spread of food.
- 23:09Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, of entertainment, a spread of
- 23:13Speaker 1: entersaty I'm not sure it's if you've seen they have
- 23:18Speaker 1: these like miniature remote controlled like tractors and diggers that
- 23:23Speaker 1: the kids hop on and they can like pretend to
- 23:26Speaker 1: do these like construction like scenarios.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Who are these people? You're confused, weird out.
- 23:32Speaker 1: Let me give you a reference photo so you can
- 23:34Speaker 1: understand what type of setup we were next to.
- 23:37Speaker 2: You were next, So this is the party next to you. Correct,
- 23:41Speaker 2: it's just not the party you're at.
- 23:42Speaker 1: And I just want to say the party that we
- 23:44Speaker 1: were at was a great spread, good food, good entertainment, decorations, balloons,
- 23:48Speaker 1: so you understand what we're working with. Oh my god,
- 23:51Speaker 1: it's very impressive.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Rascar would love that. Yes, yes, I didn't know this
- 23:57Speaker 2: sort of shit existed.
- 23:58Speaker 1: So that type of activity, you know, for kids, it's
- 24:01Speaker 1: mothed to a flame. Right, they're all so pumped.
- 24:04Speaker 2: I'm visualizing it. I've seen it in terms of birthday parties.
- 24:08Speaker 2: If that is absolute top tier. But also you're looking
- 24:12Speaker 2: at like almost one thousand dollars. Oh no, apparently it's
- 24:16Speaker 2: like eight fifty one thousand dollars, very expensive. You couldn't
- 24:19Speaker 2: find a building site that was closed for the weekend, right,
- 24:23Speaker 2: go on, kids.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Issue was okay in a public setting that type of
- 24:28Speaker 1: birthday party, all the kids wanted to turn and the
- 24:32Speaker 1: family who was organizing that birthday party were getting the
- 24:35Speaker 1: shits because all the other kids kept kind of coming
- 24:38Speaker 1: into their birthday party? What do you set yourself up there?
- 24:41Speaker 2: Though, like, like we're talking four and five for us,
- 24:44Speaker 2: don't understand that they can't unless you sit down and go, look,
- 24:47Speaker 2: it's not your party, and they're going to be heartbroken.
- 24:50Speaker 2: But like you can't expect like no one to come
- 24:53Speaker 2: near you. You're creating a bit of a spectacle for
- 24:55Speaker 2: children of that age.
- 24:56Speaker 1: It's like being at the beach tossing out some hips
- 25:00Speaker 1: and then being annoyed that the seagulls are coming in
- 25:02Speaker 1: and eating those chips that weren't invited.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Like those ships were for the seagulls.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Yes, I'm referring to our kids as seagulls because they
- 25:09Speaker 1: are like many vultures.
- 25:10Speaker 2: It's like, no, it's like going to and there's like
- 25:12Speaker 2: seagulls and pigeons, but the pigeons are eating it. The
- 25:15Speaker 2: seagu and the seagulls are meant to be the ones
- 25:17Speaker 2: eating it. Like a similar sort of situation.
- 25:19Speaker 1: I mean, like my example really did paint the picture. No,
- 25:23Speaker 1: you need to.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Add it, you need to add I apologize, I take
- 25:27Speaker 2: that back.
- 25:27Speaker 1: But then the eagle comes.
- 25:29Speaker 2: But then the king of the jungle, the tiger.
- 25:33Speaker 1: So do you think in a public setting, Well, I'm
- 25:36Speaker 1: going to say it, I don't think you should be
- 25:37Speaker 1: allowed to bring that type of setup.
- 25:39Speaker 2: You are banging the money. That's a backyard party. That's
- 25:42Speaker 2: an in private party. That's like me and having a
- 25:46Speaker 2: birthday party, getting a stripper in and all the other
- 25:50Speaker 2: men in the park aren't allowed to look at her,
- 25:51Speaker 2: and you were like, I stop looking over here, this
- 25:53Speaker 2: is my party. Like that.
- 25:57Speaker 1: That's a good analogy. Yeah, thank you, very good. But
- 25:59Speaker 1: then you add a couple of pigeons.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Then the pigeons come, look, you can't I think if
- 26:06Speaker 2: you are to do it in public, I'm not saying
- 26:09Speaker 2: you're not allowed to.
- 26:10Speaker 1: We're not saying you can't have public birthday parties in
- 26:12Speaker 1: the park. That is allowed.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that's allowed, But you can't get the shits when
- 26:18Speaker 2: four and five year olds don't understand that that's for them.
- 26:22Speaker 2: They just think, I'm at the park. There's a bunch
- 26:25Speaker 2: of these fucking electric diggers here. I love diggers.
- 26:30Speaker 1: What you're talking about yourself?
- 26:32Speaker 2: He does, there's not Those kids are looking at the
- 26:35Speaker 2: top five thing that they love most in the world,
- 26:37Speaker 2: because they're like, oh my god, holy shit, and then
- 26:41Speaker 2: you're getting the shits with them because they're so infatuated
- 26:45Speaker 2: by If.
- 26:45Speaker 1: You're going to bring crack to a party, you've got
- 26:48Speaker 1: to expect that everyone's going to want to smoke it.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's probably moorish am I right, yeah, but like
- 26:53Speaker 2: what so she got the shits.
- 26:55Speaker 1: She got annoyed because it was just constantly like, oh gosh,
- 26:58Speaker 1: where's Timmy, And Timmy's wanted over.
- 27:00Speaker 2: He's now trying to kick off the birth fucking line
- 27:02Speaker 2: of coke of a fucking tractor.
- 27:06Speaker 1: He's like, that's the good stuff.
- 27:09Speaker 2: That's the good stuff.
- 27:12Speaker 1: People are following our story very confusing if you're.
- 27:16Speaker 2: Just tuning in, we're not talking about actual crack.
- 27:18Speaker 1: No we're not.
- 27:19Speaker 2: That's a bit off. So the host of your party,
- 27:22Speaker 2: they were.
- 27:23Speaker 1: Also like, I think anybody is going to be a
- 27:26Speaker 1: bit miffed when that is next to you. Like, if
- 27:29Speaker 1: you are, if you're going to be spending thousands of dollars,
- 27:33Speaker 1: don't do it in a place where it makes other
- 27:35Speaker 1: parties look second here.
- 27:38Speaker 2: But also like it's a bit like your wanker. Yeah,
- 27:41Speaker 2: you know, it's like driving your sports car down to
- 27:43Speaker 2: the local car park and revenant you know, don't be
- 27:47Speaker 2: that guy such a.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Just get a ninja or a bubble fairy. Keep the
- 27:51Speaker 1: bar at that high. We don't need it to be
- 27:54Speaker 1: any high, high fat spider man like the rest of us. Okay, Ash,
- 28:02Speaker 1: it is time for parenting hack or fuck that. This
- 28:06Speaker 1: is when I spend hours, days, even relentlessly scaring the
- 28:11Speaker 1: Internet and social media to try and find anything that
- 28:14Speaker 1: will make parenting just a little bit easier. But sometimes, Ash,
- 28:18Speaker 1: sometimes I find something and the line is quite blurred
- 28:22Speaker 1: on whether or not it's something that will help people,
- 28:24Speaker 1: or if people have just lost their absolute mind.
- 28:27Speaker 2: Most of some of the lost their mind. Let's be honest, and.
- 28:30Speaker 1: When I'm unsure, I turn to one person, and one
- 28:32Speaker 1: person only for the final verdict.
- 28:35Speaker 2: There's only one man equipped to have a final verdict,
- 28:39Speaker 2: and that is I.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Okay, yes, ready, Ash, Yes, okay. For people who obviously
- 28:47Speaker 1: can't watch this video, we are going to put on socials,
- 28:51Speaker 1: but Ash, describe to them what you've just witnessed.
- 28:54Speaker 2: I've just witnessed a young mother creating slime where on
- 28:59Speaker 2: her brain? New floor? Yes, So a couple of thoughts.
- 29:02Speaker 2: First thought, did you really need to tell us it's
- 29:04Speaker 2: a brand new floor. What's the little flex they're obviously renovating,
- 29:10Speaker 2: not to twisted your little Yeah, great to have a
- 29:13Speaker 2: little dig at you there, But just just's thought.
- 29:17Speaker 1: You're being very kind right now because that's the fucking
- 29:20Speaker 1: dumbest video I've ever seen.
- 29:22Speaker 2: I don't think it's the dumbest video I've ever seen.
- 29:24Speaker 2: They're just wooden floors, But slime is a pain in
- 29:28Speaker 2: the ass. Will just gets a plane though, But do
- 29:31Speaker 2: it on a matt or something.
- 29:32Speaker 1: Why are you being so reserved right now in your
- 29:35Speaker 1: judgment of this parent. She's made slime with like essentially
- 29:40Speaker 1: like a four liter bottle of cream, of anyone wondering,
- 29:44Speaker 1: I dropped a bottle of cream out of the fridge
- 29:46Speaker 1: before this record, and did you see how much of
- 29:49Speaker 1: a nightmare it was to clean up?
- 29:50Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 29:51Speaker 1: Who is who is making slime on the floor in
- 29:55Speaker 1: the bedroom?
- 29:56Speaker 2: Purposely making a mess? Is dumb?
- 29:58Speaker 1: And who needs that much sign for the slime is
- 30:00Speaker 1: the absolute worst for kids? You may as well give
- 30:04Speaker 1: them a loaded handgun. That's that's like, that's on the
- 30:07Speaker 1: level where slime is at.
- 30:09Speaker 2: That's a bit extreme, is it. I actually gave Maze
- 30:14Speaker 2: a loaded nerve gun. The other day and she just
- 30:16Speaker 2: shot April straight. But look, I agree, like you're making
- 30:21Speaker 2: a mess purposely.
- 30:24Speaker 1: What would you a bit silly?
- 30:25Speaker 2: But if you want to make slime, go ahead, make
- 30:27Speaker 2: it in the container.
- 30:28Speaker 1: There is Listen to the man the reason she did.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Make it look like it was so effortless.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Don't get sucked, and let me don't get gone.
- 30:36Speaker 2: I'm going to make slime on my brand new flaws
- 30:39Speaker 2: and I'm going to make it look effortless to clean
- 30:42Speaker 2: it up. What letless to clean it up so it
- 30:47Speaker 2: makes it look like this. I'm such a good mum.
- 30:50Speaker 2: And then I'm going to put it in containers and
- 30:52Speaker 2: color coded. Hmmm, make it in the container. Make Plato,
- 30:57Speaker 2: don't make slime. Make Plato.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Don't do it. Don't make plato. Plato sucks. Look I sucks.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Whenever I see Plato on in a gift bag at
- 31:05Speaker 1: a party, I look at the parent.
- 31:07Speaker 2: And I'm like, why why you remember as man Mason
- 31:11Speaker 2: loves it like you don't cut up little pizzas with it.

- 31:39Speaker 1: I tell my toddler, I need to check if the

- 31:56Speaker 1: to bed, I need to check if the dog is
- 32:00Speaker 1: naughty to justify her leaving the room without the total questioning.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Oh so to get out as the room tactic.
- 32:09Speaker 1: What correct?
- 32:12Speaker 2: I was like, what correct? Have I missed something? Okay?
- 32:15Speaker 2: So it's when obviously we just going to be just
- 32:17Speaker 2: like I better check on the dog. Yeah.
- 32:18Speaker 1: And it's like the one thing that the kids like,
- 32:20Speaker 1: Oh I get it, you can. You can talked about
- 32:23Speaker 1: this before, but I always say I need to do
- 32:26Speaker 1: a week.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one.
- 32:27Speaker 1: And that's the one that the kids can't question.
- 32:29Speaker 2: They're like, well, okay, that's any bathroom activities. They like, Oh,
- 32:32Speaker 2: I completely understand.
- 32:34Speaker 1: So sorry, please don't let me get in the way.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Why can't you just shot yourself like I do very good.
- 32:42Speaker 2: I've got one here from Lauren which is very random,
- 32:45Speaker 2: which I had a little giggle at. I thought, maybe
- 32:47Speaker 2: you'll have a giggle at. Please, Lauren says. My dad
- 32:50Speaker 2: told my sister a virgin was someone who couldn't drive
- 32:53Speaker 2: a car. Why in what situation do you think, like
- 32:59Speaker 2: you would I have to lie to your child about
- 33:01Speaker 2: what a virgin is every situation, I would think.
- 33:05Speaker 1: So maybe the kid was a bit young and you
- 33:07Speaker 1: don't want to say, well, virgin is someone who doesn't
- 33:08Speaker 1: have sex. I do remember, though, I do remember. I
- 33:12Speaker 1: think I must have been grade two or grade three
- 33:15Speaker 1: and there was a boy called Kieran who was making
- 33:20Speaker 1: a joke about a stiffy and I was like, sorry, what,
- 33:24Speaker 1: I don't know what it meant? And I remember going home.
- 33:26Speaker 1: I was like, guys, what does it mean? And they're like,
- 33:28Speaker 1: you don't know what a stiffy is? And I was
- 33:31Speaker 1: very much on the outer and I went home and
- 33:32Speaker 1: I said Mum, what's a stiffy? And she wouldn't tell
- 33:36Speaker 1: me either, and I was like, well, someone just showed
- 33:38Speaker 1: me what a stiffy is. To ask your brother didn't you,
- 33:41Speaker 1: But sometimes kids asked for the meaning of certain words,
- 33:44Speaker 1: where you're like, I ain't.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Going there to whip out a clueless Yeah, you're a
- 33:51Speaker 2: virgin who can't drive. That's it.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Ash. Before we go, we have a couple of very
- 33:56Speaker 1: quick questions. We did have a story last week. If
- 34:00Speaker 1: people didn't listen to that episode, first of all, go
- 34:02Speaker 1: and listen to it because it's very funny. Sorry that
- 34:06Speaker 1: was aggressive. I apologize. There's a story in there of
- 34:09Speaker 1: how your family stole from April stole from camut accidental.
- 34:15Speaker 2: No stove, not from came up from a reputable Yeah,
- 34:19Speaker 2: came out.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Someone has asked, do you boys remember the very first
- 34:25Speaker 1: thing that you stole, and as someone who has some
- 34:32Speaker 1: pretty solid prize.
- 34:33Speaker 2: I'm on the run, do you recall I don't recall.
- 34:37Speaker 2: I don't recall as a child stealing anything.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Because obviously sometimes malea lola grab a chocolate bar, which
- 34:47Speaker 1: I'm unaware of.
- 34:49Speaker 2: Let me just get the police on the phone.
- 34:50Speaker 1: And it's only when you get it back in the
- 34:52Speaker 1: car and you're like, oh my gosh, you took like
- 34:54Speaker 1: that what of cash from my rest?
- 34:58Speaker 2: You left your battle cla.
- 35:01Speaker 1: But do you remember like consciously knowing that what you're
- 35:04Speaker 1: about to do taking something was naughty.
- 35:07Speaker 2: No, I don't recall as a child stealing anything or
- 35:10Speaker 2: like having or taking something. I do remember my grandmother,
- 35:14Speaker 2: who's still alive, when we were kids a couple of
- 35:18Speaker 2: times in the very same store in which we mentioned earlier,
- 35:22Speaker 2: actually stole toys for us. So what she did was
- 35:26Speaker 2: she just took him out of the packet, chucked him
- 35:28Speaker 2: in a purse, and walked out. This is like in
- 35:31Speaker 2: the early nineties, so it's what do you.
- 35:33Speaker 1: Mean like that makes it okay? She laid down in
- 35:37Speaker 1: the nineties.
- 35:38Speaker 2: My grandmother is she's still here. Yeah she is. Sorry, Dan,
- 35:43Speaker 2: you're getting locked up. But I do remember being like,
- 35:46Speaker 2: that's not right.
- 35:47Speaker 1: But then I'm getting a toy, so I don't say nothing.
- 35:50Speaker 1: Ain't no snitch. I remember. Doesn't only happen nowadays because
- 35:56Speaker 1: no one pays with coins. But in grade one, I
- 36:00Speaker 1: remember seeing there was a little jar in the kitchen
- 36:03Speaker 1: that was a money jar, and Mom would use that
- 36:05Speaker 1: to pay for our touch shop, you know, put in
- 36:08Speaker 1: like a dollar forty for a sausage roll delicious. I
- 36:11Speaker 1: over time I kind of figured out the gold coins
- 36:15Speaker 1: were worth a bit more and I had. I remember
- 36:18Speaker 1: how much I had must have been a lot. But
- 36:20Speaker 1: I went to school with all of this money, and
- 36:23Speaker 1: I remember going to the other kids and being like,
- 36:25Speaker 1: whatever you want from the touch shop, don't worry, I
- 36:28Speaker 1: look after you.
- 36:31Speaker 2: And the milky are on me. It must have been
- 36:35Speaker 2: quite a lot, because I quickly got pulled into the
- 36:38Speaker 2: principal's office and they were like, where'd you get the
- 36:40Speaker 2: money from? Kid?
- 36:41Speaker 1: And I was like, I ain't said nothing, my little drugs.
- 36:44Speaker 1: My mom got called into the school dish.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:48Speaker 1: They were like it must have been what significant?
- 36:50Speaker 2: What was the planet of twenty five life? And I
- 36:54Speaker 2: was like I didn't know what I'll do? You want
- 36:56Speaker 2: an only bank higst I'm just.
- 36:57Speaker 1: A sweet innocent little boy full that that was Yeah,
- 37:01Speaker 1: that was like my first I kind of knew. I
- 37:03Speaker 1: remember like my mom would leave the room and I
- 37:05Speaker 1: would like sneak into the kitchen and take the money
- 37:07Speaker 1: quickly before she realized.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Someone say, it's a bit of a robin Hood complex there,
- 37:11Speaker 2: because you've stolen from the rich and taken to school
- 37:16Speaker 2: to offer and buy the poor. A lot of analogy
- 37:18Speaker 2: in this episode, too many, too many. I'd say this
- 37:20Speaker 2: is the last one. I promise we'll see. And in
- 37:23Speaker 2: those days she was cheap.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh man, you could buy like a a kind
- 37:28Speaker 1: of snake for like twenty cents.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Oh that's goodbye.
- 37:32Speaker 1: I could buy a house for twenty cents for free.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Icondra put inside.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Oh, we need to get some she can notice for lunch.
- 37:40Speaker 1: What's your question, big guy?
- 37:41Speaker 2: My question. I have one girl, you have two girls.
- 37:44Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that, but I know that.
- 37:47Speaker 1: I know that as well.
- 37:49Speaker 2: And Annie has written in and said, hey, guys, at
- 37:52Speaker 2: what age should kids be allowed to wear makeup, even
- 37:55Speaker 2: if it's just for fun. Now, for me boy and
- 37:59Speaker 2: a girl, the sort of makeup or anything cosmetic that
- 38:02Speaker 2: they would use is painting the nails, which you're a
- 38:05Speaker 2: really big fan of doing for your girls. Anyway, I
- 38:07Speaker 2: did notice Oscar had his black black, one black one pink.
- 38:13Speaker 2: But what do you reckon?
- 38:14Speaker 1: Oh god, this is a it's a it's a prickly one.
- 38:18Speaker 1: We did notice that, mar You know, kids are very aware,
- 38:22Speaker 1: they're always watching, they're always seeing things happen. And whenever
- 38:26Speaker 1: Laura was, you know, going out in the morning or
- 38:29Speaker 1: especially if she was going to an event, she would
- 38:31Speaker 1: before leaving the house.
- 38:32Speaker 2: That's not something you would you would think you would
- 38:34Speaker 2: need to hide or would want to hide.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Yeah, Laura would do a quick touch up do Askay's
- 38:40Speaker 1: wearing a mask. And then a few times Marley would
- 38:47Speaker 1: be leaving for daycare and she'd be like, I need
- 38:48Speaker 1: to put some makeup on to look pretty to leave
- 38:51Speaker 1: the house. And we were like, oh shit, this is
- 38:53Speaker 1: this is a road.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Yeah, you better Yeah, And so we also, you know,
- 39:00Speaker 2: we thought it was really cute on the weekends when
- 39:03Speaker 2: she was dabbling in a bit of makeup and we'd
- 39:05Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, you.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Look so beautiful. But they were like, oh, that's setting
- 39:09Speaker 1: the wrong message. You don't want to be You don't.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Want to you don't want them to think that you
- 39:13Speaker 2: have to wear makeup to be beautiful.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So it's really it's hard. It's a hard
- 39:18Speaker 1: one because you're like, you want to have fun and
- 39:22Speaker 1: play and you know they have like little makeup stations
- 39:24Speaker 1: that they play with you. Yeah, you don't want think
- 39:26Speaker 1: they're going to be unattractive if they don't wear makeup.
- 39:29Speaker 2: Yeah, what are you trying to sell it as like
- 39:31Speaker 2: a disguise?
- 39:32Speaker 1: That's it. That's it.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Yeah. Really, I never actually even ever thought about this
- 39:37Speaker 2: whatsoever at this very moment.
- 39:39Speaker 1: As a guy.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Yeah. Never.
- 39:41Speaker 1: But now that I've got kids, I'm like, oh shit,
- 39:43Speaker 1: this is something I have to be aware of.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Even so, I never thought about it until just now.
- 39:46Speaker 1: So we say that they can't wear it for I mean,
- 39:48Speaker 1: Marley's five, Lolas three. Both of them have like a
- 39:51Speaker 1: little kid's makeup. Kid they do a bit eyeshadow poorly,
- 39:56Speaker 1: I might add.
- 39:57Speaker 2: I'm not expecting them to be like award winning makeup.
- 40:00Speaker 1: Yeah, dressed like that with that face of makeup, it
- 40:02Speaker 1: looked like a but we allowed him a little dabble.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Is it too young? I don't know.
- 40:09Speaker 2: God, I think if you're selling it as like dress up,
- 40:12Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You know her kids have
- 40:13Speaker 2: to dress up in especially your girls are very very
- 40:16Speaker 2: big fans of dress up in the Frozen stuff, I know,
- 40:18Speaker 2: princess dresses. Yeah, And I think like, if you're selling
- 40:22Speaker 2: it and they're doing it is like I'm going to
- 40:24Speaker 2: dress up as a character, then it's it's all right.
- 40:27Speaker 2: But if I think, like, if she's like I'm going
- 40:29Speaker 2: to I need to do it to look beautiful to
- 40:31Speaker 2: go to kindy I'd be like.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I'm just going to turn to jess for one second.
- 40:35Speaker 1: In Jessica, at what age did you first start wearing makeup?
- 40:39Speaker 4: The first time I ever wore makeup was when I
- 40:42Speaker 4: was five ballpark you sixth formal, where I absolutely looked
- 40:47Speaker 4: like someone just punched my facing because it was the
- 40:51Speaker 4: first time I've ever done it.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I would love to see that photo.
- 40:54Speaker 4: Then I graduated to eyeliner. This is like at the
- 40:58Speaker 4: height of like emo life, where are you.
- 41:02Speaker 1: Misca?
- 41:03Speaker 4: Your ten formal still off the charts, and then you're
- 41:07Speaker 4: twelve it was like, hey, let's put cakeon.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Take it on.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I feel like primary school is for like the fun doubling.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Then like you get to like this semi formal that's
- 41:16Speaker 1: kind of when you get a bit more serious.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Imagine if you never if we never had makeup, it
- 41:22Speaker 2: was never emitted.
- 41:26Speaker 1: Dropping that kind of scenario on people at the end
- 41:29Speaker 1: of the podcast, I don't know if they're ready for it.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Imagine if mecup was.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Getting ready for it. That's where my brain goes. Imagine
- 41:35Speaker 2: if which because it's such a weird concept to think,
- 41:38Speaker 2: if you if you get to the nooks and crannies
- 41:40Speaker 2: of it, right, You're like, I am essentially changing the
- 41:44Speaker 2: way I look for what reason? When? Who decided that
- 41:48Speaker 2: this is what we're going to do? Yeah? There he is,
- 41:50Speaker 2: and this is going to be part of normal life
- 41:52Speaker 2: because it's kind of like becoming like for Jess just
- 41:55Speaker 2: gave us a little breakdown into okay, she was five,
- 41:58Speaker 2: she might have played with it this aggressive stages until
- 42:01Speaker 2: when it just becomes part of your everyday life of
- 42:04Speaker 2: getting ready. What if that never happened, Think how much
- 42:08Speaker 2: time we would have all saved. A would be like
- 42:11Speaker 2: are you ready? And she'd be like, yeah, five more minutes.
- 42:14Speaker 2: That would have actually meant And that's why I love
- 42:19Speaker 2: doing this podcast with you. Just the way you look
- 42:21Speaker 2: at the world. It's unbelievable. It took me an hour
