- 2:58Speaker 2: a wet dream. Yeah right, yeah, yeah. I thought we're

- 3:06Speaker 2: some pressure.

- 3:19Speaker 2: So talking about actually talking about being confused by things
- 3:23Speaker 2: that happened during the night time. Okay, go ahead, gonna
- 3:26Speaker 2: be cameras because Jess is away on holiday.
- 3:29Speaker 1: It must be nice in Japan. Jealous is in Japan.
- 3:33Speaker 1: She sent me a picture of a big mountain, Mount Fuji.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Mount Fuji?

- 3:50Speaker 2: hope you have be a good time.
- 3:51Speaker 1: We do. You've left bit of a time.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I passion myself here to offend for ourselves like the
- 3:55Speaker 2: good old days. When we first started, it was just
- 3:57Speaker 2: the two of us. It's taken us about six hours
- 4:00Speaker 2: to record this episode. I got here at sunrise.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Well we'll get we hit the ground running six hours later.
- 4:07Speaker 1: It's now he stayed the night. He's still here. Jess
- 4:11Speaker 1: is actually bad, She's.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Right, yes, last night, in the middle of the night,
- 4:17Speaker 2: Ash Marley comes in to the room.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Yeah right, no sticker on the chart.
- 4:23Speaker 2: No sticker on the chart, and she starts off. She
- 4:26Speaker 2: prefaces the chat before she jumps into bed, and she goes, look, okay,
- 4:32Speaker 2: I've had an accident. And I was like, what do
- 4:35Speaker 2: you mean, and she goes, spilt my water bottle. She's
- 4:39Speaker 2: found a loophole to the system. She's like, I've spilt
- 4:43Speaker 2: my water bottle. Okay, So my bed is saturated right now.
- 4:47Speaker 2: It's very damp up there. I'm unable to sleep in
- 4:50Speaker 2: the bed due to the level of moisture that currently
- 4:52Speaker 2: resides in the mattress, mold will start to generate. And
- 4:56Speaker 2: I was like, damn it, she's got me. And I
- 4:58Speaker 2: was like, all right, well, hop into bed. Then here
- 5:01Speaker 2: and I was like, holy shit. She's like what.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't wear any pants and she.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Goes yeah, yeah, yeah. She goes, don't worry about that
- 5:12Speaker 2: to sleep, and I was like, why are you wearing
- 5:14Speaker 2: any pants? And she goes, ah, yes, yes, the pants question.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I knew this would come and she goes the water
- 5:22Speaker 2: bottle spilt onto my pants and then onto the bed,
- 5:25Speaker 2: which is why I removed the pants. Now I'm here,
- 5:28Speaker 2: I wanted to go to sleep in your bed. Can
- 5:30Speaker 2: we please put this the rest.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I could just picture her going just dousing herself with water.
- 5:37Speaker 2: In the shower, and I was like, okay, that all
- 5:40Speaker 2: adds up. Fair excuse, yeah, I think so hop into bed,
- 5:45Speaker 2: go to sleep, and we'll deal with this in the morning.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Smart And I did have a thought as she hopped
- 5:50Speaker 2: into bed. I was like, legs are a bit sticky.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Oh no, I was like, well, but you know, at
- 5:56Speaker 2: the same time, I was very tired as I've been working.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Oh, I was like Ellie at one visitor.
- 6:05Speaker 2: Okay, so I was you know, I was like half
- 6:08Speaker 2: awake and I was like whatever, shore fight, hop into
- 6:10Speaker 2: bed and then I woke up, and I was like,
- 6:12Speaker 2: I'm just gonna double check. Not that I don't trust Marley,
- 6:15Speaker 2: I'm going to just double check that she you know,
- 6:17Speaker 2: she did have an accident.
- 6:18Speaker 1: She didn't lie to me in the middle of the
- 6:19Speaker 1: night when I was most vulnerable.
- 6:20Speaker 2: And so I feel her bed, the bed is wet. Okay,
- 6:23Speaker 2: I'll give her that and I pop my nose to
- 6:27Speaker 2: the mattress and I go.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Piss. It's yourn. It's yourn. Poor lol is underneath that too. Okay,
- 6:40Speaker 1: we started with loophole. Do you think she's done it
- 6:43Speaker 1: on purpose? Yes?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Wow, I believe she has voluntarily weired herself. That's diabolical
- 6:52Speaker 2: as a loophole to a get into my bed and
- 6:57Speaker 2: b still receive a sticker in the morning.
- 7:00Speaker 1: She's very good, she's very clever. She's got ya. They're
- 7:03Speaker 1: getting clever. And speaking of loophole's, Oscar has also found
- 7:06Speaker 1: one too. He's figured out sick bay. Yes, he's figured
- 7:12Speaker 1: out sick bay, but also he's figured out how to
- 7:16Speaker 1: convince them to skip calling me and call who so
- 7:20Speaker 1: first call mum. He's always going to be first. I
- 7:23Speaker 1: feel like April would. She'd crumble quickly. Yes, she's missed

- 11:35Speaker 2: was like, what's wrong, Bubba? You have to use my
- 11:37Speaker 2: baby voice and she was like I gotta sound tummy.

- 12:17Speaker 2: She was bouncing off the walls. She was coloring much energy,
- 12:20Speaker 2: too much energy.
- 12:21Speaker 1: But like I used to do that and then I
- 12:23Speaker 1: would be like, I want to go sock training tonight. No,
- 12:29Speaker 1: you're fucking not.
- 12:32Speaker 2: One time, one time, I didn't want to go to
- 12:34Speaker 2: school and I hated sick base, so I knew that
- 12:35Speaker 2: if I had to fake being sick, I had to
- 12:37Speaker 2: be in the morning. And I got a cloth and
- 12:40Speaker 2: I rubbed it on my forehead and I went to
- 12:43Speaker 2: my mum and I was like, just.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Feel how hot I am.
- 12:45Speaker 2: She was like quite a temperature, and I was like, gotcha.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Got her Speaking of injuries and stuff like that, firstly,
- 12:53Speaker 1: it just gave me a little memory of when I
- 12:55Speaker 1: was in When I was in year seven, I was
- 12:57Speaker 1: playing touch football with the bigger kids and them fell
- 13:00Speaker 1: on me, okay and have my head hit the ground.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Between my legs, so quite like an over extension. You
- 13:08Speaker 1: tried to suck yourself off in that moment, I could
- 13:11Speaker 1: have got a quick leg. And then I did go home.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Literally my dad had to pick me up because at
- 13:21Speaker 1: that moment I was in pain. But what's the problem about.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I used it to get more time off school, and
- 13:27Speaker 1: I was fine because also it was the same year
- 13:29Speaker 1: that Joey John's heard his neck playing footy and he
- 13:33Speaker 1: was in the neck brains, and I thought that was
- 13:35Speaker 1: pretty cool. So you had a neck brain. So I
- 13:37Speaker 1: neck braced it for like a week to get a
- 13:39Speaker 1: week off school. But I was completely fine. Hang on
- 13:41Speaker 1: a second, your neck is moving fine today? Yeah, I'm good.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I'm back down. You were in a neck brace last week? Yeah,
- 13:47Speaker 1: it was like a week and that was I was
- 13:48Speaker 1: like ten days ago. Oh yeah, fine, that's my leg now.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Somehow the pain moved for my neck right down to
- 13:55Speaker 1: my leg. He's still thinking bon Jovi in the car. Yeah, No,
- 13:57Speaker 1: what was I doing. I was singing Iris it's practicing. Yeah. Anyway,
- 14:03Speaker 1: Also on injuries, I never thought having kids I would
- 14:07Speaker 1: get so injured. Remember I was back nearly like two
- 14:11Speaker 1: years ago now when we started this, and I had
- 14:14Speaker 1: a moment of pure anger when I was picking up
- 14:17Speaker 1: toys and hit my head on a door knob on
- 14:20Speaker 1: the way back up. I think I did it twice
- 14:22Speaker 1: in the same very frustrating and it's like I'm cleaning
- 14:25Speaker 1: up after these fucks and I'm hurting myself. That's what
- 14:29Speaker 1: I recall from that situation. Well, let me tell you
- 14:32Speaker 1: right now, I've had another running with the door handle.
- 14:34Speaker 1: What door handles. I'm going to tell you what exactly
- 14:37Speaker 1: what happened. Okay, so when April goes to the toilet,
- 14:41Speaker 1: it shuts the door. The kid's always going there, that's
- 14:43Speaker 1: a mom thing. I like to lock the door.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, if April's not locking the door, that's on
- 14:50Speaker 2: her exactly.
- 14:52Speaker 1: But she has a dig at me about if they're
- 14:54Speaker 1: going to come in to see me, they should be
- 14:57Speaker 1: allowed to go in and see you. And I'm like,
- 15:00Speaker 1: we all got the bar here, lock it so we're
- 15:02Speaker 1: up here together.
- 15:03Speaker 2: But also like, fucking dad shits are a lot worse
- 15:07Speaker 2: than mumshit's lies.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Oh, they store them up and then they do one
- 15:13Speaker 1: horrendous shit and Aeopl's like, where are the kids coming here?
- 15:16Speaker 1: I drag them in I don't mind dragging him in
- 15:19Speaker 1: as a joke. It's funny, but I also like my privacy,
- 15:23Speaker 1: like you know, as any person, as any man or
- 15:27Speaker 1: woman would exactly right now, I am a stand and wiper.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Yeah amen, yeah, okay, so few of us stand and wipe.
- 15:36Speaker 1: And it just so happens that the door knob is
- 15:40Speaker 1: that the exact height as my dick and balls. And
- 15:45Speaker 1: guess who comes barging in while I'm wiping oscar oscar
- 15:49Speaker 1: wicks at full velocity. A silver metal door handle has
- 15:58Speaker 1: hit me directly in a combination of the head of
- 16:02Speaker 1: my penis which is massive and sorry sorry, and my
- 16:09Speaker 1: testicles with my shitty aarsehole and a handful of shitty
- 16:15Speaker 1: toilet paper. Can I tell you right now I had
- 16:19Speaker 1: I fell into the corn so it's a picture this.
- 16:24Speaker 1: It's a separate toilet to the bathroom, so it's quite skinny.
- 16:28Speaker 1: I've fallen into the crack between the toilet and the
- 16:31Speaker 1: jip rock wall. Okay, saw nuts, saw penile head, now
- 16:40Speaker 1: the toilet paper. I've tried to brace myself. I've fallen,
- 16:46Speaker 1: put the shitty toilet paper up against the jip rock
- 16:50Speaker 1: wall and slid down it like so so I'm jammed
- 16:57Speaker 1: between the toilet and the wall that has now ship
- 17:02Speaker 1: on it. What's Oscar saying? At this point? He was
- 17:04Speaker 1: just like, what are you doing? What you need to
- 17:07Speaker 1: be sick? You mean to be sick. I'm on the ground,
- 17:11Speaker 1: stuck between the toilet with a sore set of nads
- 17:15Speaker 1: and a shitty asshole. God what a sight. And I
- 17:19Speaker 1: had to somehow backward slither out of there. Did you
- 17:24Speaker 1: call for help? Did April? No One wanted to help me.
- 17:27Speaker 1: She's like, you're on your own hands. She's like, you
- 17:31Speaker 1: in there. It's like, for God's sake, could this get
- 17:34Speaker 1: any worse? It does? The roof is are back next door?
- 17:42Speaker 1: Shut up your fate. No, God, they're back.
- 17:48Speaker 2: And I'm surprised when you're like a show chavenist.
- 17:52Speaker 1: No, hang on. But also it was a Sunday and
- 17:56Speaker 1: they were working on the roof next door. You're an exhibitionist.
- 18:00Speaker 1: It's the word I'm looking exhibition. But also it was
- 18:03Speaker 1: Sunday and I was like, what the fuck are they doing?
- 18:05Speaker 1: But I've worked out because it's been raining so much,
- 18:07Speaker 1: they haven't been able to finish the roots. They just
- 18:09Speaker 1: got at the window of good weather. And now we've
- 18:11Speaker 1: got a little thing going where if I see them
- 18:13Speaker 1: in the morning and I'm like, I don't want to
- 18:14Speaker 1: see my asshole today.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Wow, wow's joke. How's your penis now?
- 18:24Speaker 1: Oh? I recovered? Yeah, thank heavens. Yeah. I just had
- 18:26Speaker 1: to bring this up with my therapist.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like being a hero at
- 18:31Speaker 2: the moment, but Ash, I'm doing it tough. I'm doing
- 18:35Speaker 2: it solo. Oh yeah, Laura's way by myself. When isn't
- 18:39Speaker 2: Laura away?
- 18:40Speaker 1: Mate? Fuck, she's over and by right now. Yes, she
- 18:43Speaker 1: is working. It look like she was doing you know,
- 18:46Speaker 1: when you to take your kids to like a sensory thing.
- 18:48Speaker 1: She was doing the jewelry, That's what it looked like
- 18:50Speaker 1: she was doing. Was it was fun?
- 18:51Speaker 2: Actually, mate, you know how much he's had to go
- 18:53Speaker 2: at me about the business class flight blah blah blah
- 18:55Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah blah. We've all heard enough
- 18:57Speaker 2: of it by multiple people media outlets for attacking I
- 19:02Speaker 2: was being defained publicly, and so I was with the
- 19:06Speaker 2: kids on Sunday. Laura, where was she in the lounge?
- 19:10Speaker 2: Champagne in hand? She's flown over busy class with her sister,
- 19:15Speaker 2: and she had the nerve to message me from the lounge, going, oh,
- 19:18Speaker 2: just send me a photo of the kids.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I missed them. Shut you do not. She needs to
- 19:25Speaker 1: leave it a day or two before saying I start
- 19:27Speaker 1: to miss people, you can't be like you've been gone
- 19:31Speaker 1: for two hours. I'm like, oh, I missed the kids.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I can go.
- 19:38Speaker 2: I can take him to the airport and you can
- 19:40Speaker 2: spend another hour with him if you want.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Your flight doesn't take off for another hour. Sneaking into
- 19:45Speaker 3: the quants, I couldn't do another goodbye. They're serving alcoholic. Yeah,
- 19:51Speaker 3: some one's messaging my feet. It's like, for FAC's sake,
- 19:56Speaker 3: at least get to like.
- 19:58Speaker 1: I know, whenever I go way and leave the family.
- 20:01Speaker 2: It's like, you don't want to message April, not straight away.
- 20:05Speaker 1: But if I've like, for example, you don't want to
- 20:08Speaker 1: give off how much fun you're having. I get that,
- 20:11Speaker 1: But also that's too premature. If it was a couple
- 20:14Speaker 1: of days and she's like, look, I'm actually I missed
- 20:17Speaker 1: the kids. I must have a little bit of balleibilly.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I haven't been sleeping well like I've been, you know,
- 20:21Speaker 1: like make up something for God's sake, yeah, and then go, oh,
- 20:25Speaker 1: just you know, because in those moments of vulnerability, you

- 23:24Speaker 2: I put forward the case to not bring the kids
- 23:27Speaker 2: to Bali.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Economy, yea economy, economy yeah, yep.
- 23:32Speaker 1: I'm going to Bali without the kids. Must be real.
- 23:36Speaker 1: And she was like, no, I just I want to
- 23:38Speaker 1: see the kids so badly. Don't go then ship anyway,
- 23:42Speaker 1: so I know, it's like it's a long way to
- 23:45Speaker 1: go to kids. Thank you. Okay, hang on one question
- 23:48Speaker 1: while we're on the subject. We talked about seating arrangement
- 23:52Speaker 1: for two parents, two kids. What about seating arrangement for
- 23:56Speaker 1: two kids, one parent. I'm going to do a video
- 23:59Speaker 1: on this.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to a video on this because I'm
- 24:02Speaker 2: flying grud Air. Shout out to Grout and Not sponsored.
- 24:06Speaker 2: Their seating configuration very interesting. They have four in the
- 24:10Speaker 2: middle and then the windows are two and two.
- 24:13Speaker 1: You pretty much have to go the four otherwise one
- 24:16Speaker 1: gets left alone unless you buy four seat. Do I?
- 24:21Speaker 1: Could I go on?
- 24:23Speaker 2: Could I go window next one across right and then
- 24:28Speaker 2: do the aisle?
- 24:29Speaker 1: So the middle row aisle? Is that a possibility? Is that?
- 24:35Speaker 1: So I get the two kids by themselves, try and
- 24:37Speaker 1: get a seat in front two trying in front of
- 24:42Speaker 1: the person behind you was like and then you just
- 24:44Speaker 1: take your around and go. They didn't have anything that
- 24:46Speaker 1: lined up, but I'm just here about that one behind
- 24:50Speaker 1: so you can see them but they can't see you.
- 24:54Speaker 1: So that was an idea. I'm yet to lock in
- 24:56Speaker 1: the seating plant. You're going in like two days, don't you? Yeah? Brilliant, brilliant,
- 25:01Speaker 1: Thank you, Ida, thank you. Do you know what else
- 25:03Speaker 1: is brilliant? This? You don't mostly progression, you don't want,
- 25:12Speaker 1: so just tell me what your parent do you want?
- 25:21Speaker 1: My crand parking at the shirt.
- 25:23Speaker 2: You don't want advice from frangers, Go and tell me
- 25:29Speaker 2: what is your part?
- 25:34Speaker 1: Well played, sir, and I would say that that is
- 25:37Speaker 1: one of the greatest segment songs ever to be produced
- 25:40Speaker 1: by anybody ever. Thank you? Okay, would you like to
- 25:45Speaker 1: go first?
- 25:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I've actually got I've got a parant myself. Oh,
- 25:50Speaker 2: because I have one last week. I'm just gonna get
- 25:51Speaker 2: the last off my chest.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Go far away. You know I love daycares. Just be
- 25:56Speaker 1: careful how you finished that sentence.
- 25:58Speaker 2: You know I love daycare. I love day care staff.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I think they work incredibly hard. You know that I've
- 26:03Speaker 2: always been very vocal about my support for the daycare industry.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Most of them. Yeah right right, those of you don't
- 26:10Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about.
- 26:12Speaker 2: I have a roundabout. I'm reluctant to attack the daycares.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Attack away. We attacked him months before. I want them
- 26:20Speaker 2: just pick up my sword. So Lola has been she's
- 26:25Speaker 2: been up up to like nine pm, and she loves
- 26:29Speaker 2: to sleep. Lately, she's been great in that she has
- 26:32Speaker 2: a story, goes to bed, falls asleep pretty quickly. But
- 26:34Speaker 2: now she's up to like nine o'clock. I'm downstairs and
- 26:38Speaker 2: I can hear her walking around upstairs. I'm like, what

- 27:00Speaker 2: letting her have a nap.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Yeah, someone's and so.
- 27:04Speaker 2: But now we're back in the cycle. So she's like

- 27:23Speaker 1: that daycare, can I if you get in the bed?
- 27:27Speaker 4: All right?
- 27:28Speaker 2: So now, so now she's in the routine. She's in
- 27:30Speaker 2: the routine of napping during the day. They're going to
- 27:32Speaker 2: try and break the cycle, which they're not. They're letting
- 27:34Speaker 2: a nap.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. If you're listening, think of the parents,
- 27:38Speaker 1: Think oh of us poor parents, and I've started to
- 27:41Speaker 1: do this thing at night when kids go to bed
- 27:43Speaker 1: that I make them feel guilty about making any more
- 27:45Speaker 1: noises after that? What do you mean? I'm like, this
- 27:47Speaker 1: is Mummy and Daddy's time now, Like you know how
- 27:49Speaker 1: we give you everything you've ever wanted and all the
- 27:52Speaker 1: time you need ever And they're like, yeah, we love that,
- 27:55Speaker 1: Like why don't you just give me this moment now?
- 27:57Speaker 1: And do they get it? Some nights? Some nights I'm
- 28:00Speaker 1: like do you I'm like, I'm like, do you know
- 28:03Speaker 1: how sad I feel when I've got to come back
- 28:05Speaker 1: in here to tell you off? Do you know how
- 28:06Speaker 1: sad I am? What about me? And like sometimes it works?
- 28:11Speaker 1: And then when they don't, I'm like, we spoke last
- 28:14Speaker 1: week about yelling at your kids. I'm like, well, it's
- 28:16Speaker 1: time to go to work and like shu whack slam
- 28:21Speaker 1: the door anyway. They hate the door being shut, so
- 28:23Speaker 1: that's now my current threat. But I'm like, oh, shut
- 28:25Speaker 1: this fucking door. You're like, anyway, that's my rant. Please.
- 28:30Speaker 1: I have a rand from someone hither. This one is
- 28:33Speaker 1: from Maddie, and Maddie says, no trolley bay near the
- 28:39Speaker 1: parent parks getting a good park, but hiking the Nullah
- 28:44Speaker 1: boarder return it. Yeah, I think there's whoever's designing these
- 28:50Speaker 1: car parks, and this is thing might flow onto a
- 28:53Speaker 1: little ran I have really quickly. Okay. On top of that,
- 28:56Speaker 1: whoever's designing these car parks, I think it should go
- 29:00Speaker 1: disabled parking, parent parking with a trolley bay in between them. Okay,
- 29:06Speaker 1: so it's equal because we just say this, right, you've
- 29:10Speaker 1: got one kid, there's one of you. You put that
- 29:13Speaker 1: kid and they say don't leave your kids alone in
- 29:15Speaker 1: the car, and then you've got to walk to drop
- 29:19Speaker 1: the length of the a nuther boar. Yes, thank you
- 29:21Speaker 1: Maddie for that. To put a trolley bag. It's dangerous,
- 29:25Speaker 1: it's disgusting. That's a lot can happen in that thirty seconds.
- 29:28Speaker 1: A child could go missing. Not to scare anyone out there,
- 29:31Speaker 1: but that's the reality. It's the reality, okay. It's the
- 29:33Speaker 1: life we live, especially in dangerous areas where does may
- 29:37Speaker 1: live and the dangerous area could take your baby. Very true,
- 29:44Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. But also I've got a ramp with
- 29:48Speaker 1: car parks in general, okay, And it's not the people
- 29:51Speaker 1: who've designed it, it's the people in it. Okay. People
- 29:54Speaker 1: think you pull into a car park, rules don't apply anymore.
- 29:58Speaker 1: What rules are you talking about, rules, pedestrian rules, anything
- 30:02Speaker 1: like that. Okay, this is what annoys me the fucking most.
- 30:06Speaker 1: There's two things that annoy me the most. The first
- 30:09Speaker 1: one is when someone tries to cross the street in
- 30:13Speaker 1: a car park across the where you're driving. Okay, there's
- 30:17Speaker 1: a crossing to cross, but they crossed like ten meters
- 30:21Speaker 1: due south of it. Walk up and use the crossing.
- 30:27Speaker 1: People think that that's like, I'm just gonna walk, not
- 30:30Speaker 1: even look. Yesterday I had Mum in the car right
- 30:34Speaker 1: and I went to reverse out of a car park.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Reverse lights are on, they are blaring, they are fucking bright,
- 30:42Speaker 1: and some old bloke not old, I'm saying, like fifty yeah,
- 30:47Speaker 1: didn't even stop to be like, oh is he reversing?
- 30:51Speaker 1: Didn't even stop. He just walked from across first of all,
- 30:55Speaker 1: walked in front of a car that was driving directly
- 30:59Speaker 1: towards my rear camera. Death wish. And it's like, bro,
- 31:04Speaker 1: the arrogance rules apply. If I hit you, I'm in trouble, right,
- 31:08Speaker 1: but doesn't mean you just start walking out like infuriating. Also,
- 31:14Speaker 1: when someone goes up the wrong way. Guilty car park design. Right,
- 31:20Speaker 1: there's obviously someone who's logistically designed this so that the
- 31:23Speaker 1: flow of the traffic goes in one way, but then
- 31:26Speaker 1: there's some entitled jerk that wants to go the wrong
- 31:30Speaker 1: way and fuck everyone's day up. I feel so much better.
- 31:33Speaker 2: I didn't realize you were such a stickler for the
- 31:35Speaker 2: rules and car parks.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Well, I just thought you just you're a man who is.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Very fluid and all of a sudden, once you get
- 31:40Speaker 2: the car park, let the car park nazi.
- 31:42Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't know what's coming this way all
- 31:45Speaker 1: across the roll. I don't know what accent that is.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Just the blatant disregard. That's what I don't like. I think,
- 31:53Speaker 1: if you're in a car park as a pedestrian and
- 31:56Speaker 1: a driver, yeah, you still have to follow the rules.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Did the first time you're about to get run over?
- 32:05Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, like the bredestrian crosses
- 32:07Speaker 1: right there.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Just anyway, this one ash is one that I haven't
- 32:13Speaker 2: come across too frequently. In fact, I would say it's
- 32:16Speaker 2: the only time I've seen this pear rant.
- 32:18Speaker 1: It's a niche. I like niche. It's a niche rant
- 32:22Speaker 1: was it as niche as the car pike one.
- 32:24Speaker 2: We get a lot of car I would say ninety
- 32:26Speaker 2: percent of rants from parents about car parks.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I reckon they need like a lollipop lady in a
- 32:32Speaker 1: car in every shop, full time attendant, a full time attendant,
- 32:35Speaker 1: not to like, but to usher people through and be
- 32:38Speaker 1: like if there's someone like struggling across the street and
- 32:42Speaker 1: they're like, okay, it's just stop for sect something like that.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Do lollipop ladies or the people who did the crossings
- 32:46Speaker 2: at school do they get paid? Yes, they do by
- 32:48Speaker 2: who counsel? Do they?
- 32:50Speaker 1: How much you get paid? Well, little bit, you can
- 32:53Speaker 1: look that up on Fair Work. There's an award for
- 32:56Speaker 1: that too hard depending on your years, on your hour.
- 33:00Speaker 1: But next election, throw that car park attendees. Do you
- 33:04Speaker 1: know what? It's generating jobs the economy, reducing the unemployment rate.
- 33:08Speaker 2: And this one is from Frankie Hall Photography. Also do
- 33:11Speaker 2: want to mention Frankie Hall had to look at their
- 33:13Speaker 2: Instagram account, very beautiful photos of kids and families, but
- 33:17Speaker 2: she says, I feel like you would sympathize with this situation.
- 33:22Speaker 2: No hot chooks in the Bain Marie at Cole's at
- 33:25Speaker 2: five pm.
- 33:27Speaker 1: That's peat chicken time. What are they doing? So this
- 33:33Speaker 1: is what they should do. Okay, supermarkets, if you're listening,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I'm just solving all the world frobms today. Make them
- 33:40Speaker 1: for chip pro chicken times, don't. I don't want to
- 33:43Speaker 1: walk into a Woollies at seven am and there's a
- 33:45Speaker 1: fucking hot chook. I want to walk in at eleven
- 33:48Speaker 1: am and there's a hot chook. I've never experienced that myself.
- 33:52Speaker 2: There's always been a steady flow of chucks available.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Depends of the need of the protein for the suburb,
- 33:59Speaker 1: I guess, but yeah, I would fully agree, because there's
- 34:02Speaker 1: been times where it's like, fuck, I'm running late. My
- 34:06Speaker 1: days just got away from me. April me to organize
- 34:11Speaker 1: dinner today, and it's like, oh, I'm at the shops.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I'm just going to nip in and get a hot chook,
- 34:17Speaker 1: hot chook dinner for dinner at a reasonable time to
- 34:20Speaker 1: pick one up for dinner. And it's like, we don't
- 34:24Speaker 1: have any hot chooks. We sold them all for breakfast. Bullshit.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Fuck. Imagine imagine you in the car park experiencing that
- 34:32Speaker 2: dilemma that Malakey going going going into Kohls no chick,
- 34:39Speaker 2: No chick, no chicken, and then going back to the
- 34:42Speaker 2: car park far out. Geez, Heaven forbid your poor family. Anyway,
- 34:46Speaker 2: your round, I.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Reckon that would be the worst day of my life.
- 34:49Speaker 1: And there's been some bad days. You've had a few,
- 34:52Speaker 1: We've had a few bad days. Okay, my last one
- 34:55Speaker 1: for this segment today, and I'm going to leave this
- 34:57Speaker 1: is a little bit up to interpretation for both of
- 34:59Speaker 1: us because Kay, if that's your real name, has written
- 35:04Speaker 1: in and said three words very simply fucking car seats.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Yeah, annoying, the older the clip, the clippers, the clips.
- 35:15Speaker 1: So there's a multitude of clips when it comes to
- 35:18Speaker 1: car seats. There's the ISO fixed clips. What the fuck
- 35:20Speaker 1: is that?
- 35:21Speaker 2: So, you know, is the way it fits into the Yeah,
- 35:24Speaker 2: that's hard to put in easy job.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:26Speaker 1: There's also yes, the clips where that it's tightened to
- 35:29Speaker 1: keep your child safe. And I would say that putting
- 35:33Speaker 1: a car seat into a vehicle is would be up
- 35:37Speaker 1: there with one of the most outraged I get when
- 35:42Speaker 1: something goes wrong. So it's like normal day to day task.
- 35:45Speaker 1: If I stub my toast slightly, or bump something slightly,
- 35:50Speaker 1: or do something wrong slow it's going wrong with your
- 35:52Speaker 1: car seat. It's not that, I think, it's more like
- 35:55Speaker 1: it's just can be fiddly sometimes. Yeah.
- 35:57Speaker 2: And also then the kids are always like it's too yeah,
- 36:01Speaker 2: and listen. I'm like the seatbelt, it's meant.
- 36:03Speaker 1: To be tired. I was putting the car seat into
- 36:05Speaker 1: this loan car that I have right now, right and
- 36:09Speaker 1: I was like, you can't. It's not new, it's not mine.
- 36:12Speaker 1: I'm just borrowing it. Money bags over here, So I'm
- 36:15Speaker 1: just borrowing it. And how does that make me money? Bag?
- 36:18Speaker 1: I would like to borrow some money that I don't
- 36:19Speaker 1: have to pay bag, that'd be great gon. And I
- 36:23Speaker 1: was just, you know, I was in no rush. I
- 36:25Speaker 1: was just putting it in casually because I know that
- 36:27Speaker 1: if you do it in a rush, things go wrong.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I've fucking turned around and bumped my head on the
- 36:34Speaker 1: grip that you hold on to as a passenger, and
- 36:36Speaker 1: I fucking saw laying into the car, and I was
- 36:40Speaker 1: like punching the shit out of it. People are like,
- 36:42Speaker 1: oh God, should I step in and stuff that?
- 36:44Speaker 4: Dad?
- 36:44Speaker 1: And then I've gone to pull the seat belt tightened
- 36:48Speaker 1: and slipped a bammed funny bone into the corner of
- 36:51Speaker 1: the door. Oh my god, I'm going to return that
- 36:53Speaker 1: loan car. And they were like, is this car been
- 36:54Speaker 1: in an accident? Ship out of the car. But it's
- 36:58Speaker 1: like the most smallest thing. They're just infuriating devices, if
- 37:03Speaker 1: you ask me, so, that's what I think K means.
- 37:05Speaker 2: And if you have any pair rants parents, pair rents, sorry,
- 37:09Speaker 2: pair rand, pair rant, send it to us, get it
- 37:13Speaker 2: off your chest, make sure it doesn't stay in and
- 37:15Speaker 2: you get all I feel frustrated, and you know, at
- 37:18Speaker 2: an in opportune moment, it all comes out. Let it
- 37:21Speaker 2: come out to us. We'll clean up the mess. Yeah,
- 37:24Speaker 2: I feel so much better. Actually, you look more relaxed.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Thank you, Ash. A couple of questions before we.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Go fire away, Ash.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Yes, this is a question that was submitted on the
- 37:35Speaker 2: Facebook group. They would like to know, what are any
- 37:38Speaker 2: traditions that you have created with your kids besides yelling
- 37:42Speaker 2: at them every night?
- 37:44Speaker 1: Oh kens, you know what time it is.
- 37:47Speaker 2: They're beautiful traditions that they'll remember as core memories for
- 37:53Speaker 2: the rest of their lives.
- 37:54Speaker 1: Gotcha, got one? Have you ever heard of these things
- 37:57Speaker 1: called fighter gummies? Oh? What are they like? Little multi
- 38:00Speaker 1: dam and in gummy form? It look like a lolli.
- 38:03Speaker 1: So the tradition is every day obviously it's a vita gummy,
- 38:07Speaker 1: not just feed my kid's lollies. If they're ready, like
- 38:12Speaker 1: if they're dressed themselves, get ready to go on time
- 38:16Speaker 1: in the mornings, then they get what we call a lolli. Ah,
- 38:22Speaker 1: it's medicine. It's Medicineidamin's suckers, idiots, and they don't know that.
- 38:29Speaker 1: They just think it's a low thing. I've got a
- 38:31Speaker 1: lovely bag of lollies. When do you think you'll tell
- 38:33Speaker 1: them the truth when they move out.
- 38:37Speaker 2: We haven't got any traditions really like nothing that I'm like,
- 38:40Speaker 2: that's a beautiful memory.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I don't know if mine's a beautiful memory. No, I
- 38:45Speaker 1: love it. Yours is manipulative, thank you. That's my whole deal.
- 38:49Speaker 1: I'm a manipulative parent. It's the kind of parenting that
- 38:52Speaker 1: I want to hear about. Good.
- 38:53Speaker 2: No, we haven't got anything like fuck other than yochi
- 38:57Speaker 2: on a Friday.
- 38:58Speaker 1: That's that's something, is that you do it together. We
- 39:01Speaker 1: used to have we on a Friday. It was called
- 39:03Speaker 1: the little Shop.
- 39:05Speaker 2: A little shop is a little convenience store down the
- 39:07Speaker 2: road for my school, and I remember it's weird, like
- 39:10Speaker 2: core memory, going in every Friday to go in.
- 39:14Speaker 1: I think back then we had fifty pants buy Auffle store.
- 39:18Speaker 1: How much I got to go with this as a kid,
- 39:21Speaker 1: but we got to pick what we wanted, the little treats. Yeah,
- 39:24Speaker 1: I just want to think for me as a kid,
- 39:26Speaker 1: we didn't really have anything, just the regular beatings. But
- 39:30Speaker 1: my parents never hit me.
- 39:31Speaker 2: Okay, if you're a parent out there right now and
- 39:34Speaker 2: you have a great tradition, something that you do with
- 39:36Speaker 2: your kids more than just like you know, obviously I
- 39:39Speaker 2: read to the kids every night before they go to bed.
- 39:41Speaker 1: People do that.
- 39:42Speaker 2: But if there is a tradition that you have that
- 39:44Speaker 2: you think is a nice touch other parents can implement, do.
- 39:48Speaker 1: You actually do you know what I used to.
- 39:51Speaker 2: I've got it from doctor Phil. Of all people, I
- 39:53Speaker 2: would say, not every night. Tradition is very important to
- 39:57Speaker 2: be consistent. But I would do it like would pepper
- 40:00Speaker 2: it in. But I would say to each girl individually,
- 40:03Speaker 2: I would say, that's all we have time for.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I would say, of all.
- 40:09Speaker 2: The girls in all the world, how do you think
- 40:11Speaker 2: it ended up that I got the best one?
- 40:13Speaker 1: Oh? Very good? Giving them a complex early. That's what April
- 40:18Speaker 1: said to Oscar. She's like, you're the most handsome boy
- 40:21Speaker 1: in the world. I'm like, don't give this boy a
- 40:22Speaker 1: Complex's like, what do you mean? And I was like,
- 40:25Speaker 1: let me tell you a story, young lady. Go on,
- 40:27Speaker 1: we go to the archives here. We used to have
- 40:29Speaker 1: a girl at our school in primary school. I recall
- 40:33Speaker 1: this that she got her mum used to tell her
- 40:38Speaker 1: that she was the most beautiful girl in the world
- 40:40Speaker 1: and she believed it, which is fine. Belief is fine.
- 40:44Speaker 1: But then she started to tell people at school that no, no, no, no,
- 40:49Speaker 1: I'm the most beautiful person in the world.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Yeah, because you want to say like you're the bravest
- 40:54Speaker 2: or you're the funniest store.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Yeah. And then I said, do you know that my
- 41:01Speaker 1: mummy tells me that too, And she was heartbroken. Did
- 41:07Speaker 1: you mean to kick off or were you just like,
- 41:09Speaker 1: oh no, I capte that my was having a dig
- 41:13Speaker 1: and I remember she was heart I got in a
- 41:17Speaker 1: lot of trouble. Actually I got in tuble for bullying.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Dare I tell the truth and get called bullying? I
- 41:23Speaker 1: remember it broke her heart. So I said to Apel, look,
- 41:26Speaker 1: you're allowed to say to your kid that you're the
- 41:29Speaker 1: most handsome boy in all the world. To me, you're
- 41:32Speaker 1: my most handsomeboy. Something like that. Very particular because I
- 41:36Speaker 1: imagine him being going to his friends at school, I'm
- 41:39Speaker 1: the most handsome boy, and then I had to break
- 41:41Speaker 1: it to you. Yeah, but I'm the fucking hottest here. Yeah.
- 41:43Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure every mum tells him that, heartbreak. I'll
- 41:46Speaker 1: tell you just a quick tradition we did have for
- 41:48Speaker 1: a while there. It was like a funny one Before
- 41:51Speaker 1: the kids would get into the shower, we do a
- 41:53Speaker 1: neody rudy and let the kids want to run up
- 41:56Speaker 1: the hallway naked and then run back and the shower.
- 41:59Speaker 1: And they thought it was fucking so funny. You're an exhibitionist.
- 42:02Speaker 1: We don't have any clothes in our house. All the
- 42:04Speaker 1: roofers are like welcome back by welcome back. I have
- 42:12Speaker 1: a question for you, please. Now, we've been doing a
- 42:14Speaker 1: lot of top threes. I love them. I love a
- 42:16Speaker 1: top three. Why my question to you is, what is
- 42:20Speaker 1: the top three worst things you can say to a parent? Oh,
- 42:24Speaker 1: let's start with your number three. Okay, number three.
- 42:28Speaker 2: I have asked this question before and probably not needed
- 42:32Speaker 2: to say this vocally because people will just realize that
- 42:35Speaker 2: it's not a great question, not a great statement to
- 42:37Speaker 2: make to any parents. But I think I now know,
- 42:41Speaker 2: I now know that you should not ask can you
- 42:43Speaker 2: get on with it?
- 42:45Speaker 1: What position did you conceive it? Well, I did not
- 42:49Speaker 1: expect that. Tell me standard missionary sidesaddle go on, yeah,
- 42:58Speaker 1: it was your number three. My number three is starting
- 43:00Speaker 1: any sentence with Look, I don't want to tell you
- 43:03Speaker 1: how to parent. Ah trigged You're like, well, then don't
- 43:09Speaker 1: you fuck me? Two for you? I don't know if
- 43:14Speaker 1: maybe this is just me being sensitive you mean sensitive? No,
- 43:20Speaker 1: go on, I know, right.
- 43:21Speaker 2: But I don't like it when people would look at
- 43:25Speaker 2: particularly Lola, and then they look at me and they go, gosh,
- 43:29Speaker 2: she looks nothing like you.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, sure, DNA didn't get a look into it.
- 43:35Speaker 1: I thought you were going to really have a distab
- 43:36Speaker 1: at something I said once, which was like she's got
- 43:39Speaker 1: a big head. It was just as bad.
- 43:45Speaker 2: I think you should you know as well. And to
- 43:48Speaker 2: top that would be saying, gosh, it looks like neither one.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Of you adopted will We had that rant that it
- 43:56Speaker 1: was like a redhead and neither of their kids were
- 43:58Speaker 1: sounds like the Milkman's got some explaining say it, don't
- 44:01Speaker 1: say it? No too. What have you got for me?
- 44:02Speaker 1: I've got this sentence that you say to your parents, Wow,
- 44:07Speaker 1: your kid's got a lot of energy. Do they always
- 44:10Speaker 1: act like that? That's the nicest way to say your
- 44:15Speaker 1: kids are fucking shihead? Yeah, here we go. This is
- 44:22Speaker 1: your number one? Is it number one? Go on?
- 44:26Speaker 2: And I have copt this a few times, and and
- 44:29Speaker 2: like to anyone out there who has said this.
- 44:31Speaker 1: Shame on you, shame.
- 44:33Speaker 2: But number one thing you should not say to any
- 44:36Speaker 2: parent is gosh, you look tired.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Oh man, I knew you were going to say something
- 44:47Speaker 1: like that, so I left it out of my But
- 44:48Speaker 1: that is bad.
- 44:49Speaker 4: That is like the biggest kick. You might as well
- 44:53Speaker 4: say you look like shit. Just lie and say you
- 44:56Speaker 4: look great. You're glowing bags on your eyes really yeah?
- 45:00Speaker 4: And that that stains on your shirt really make your
- 45:02Speaker 4: eyes pop like that.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Shiit sandwich these kids? Yeah yeah, yeah, mine is similar.
- 45:08Speaker 1: It's a cheeky jab. I do. Yeah, sentences that are
- 45:12Speaker 1: a cheeky jab, So read it out to you. Okay,
- 45:15Speaker 1: So someone says to you, oh, we did sleep training,
- 45:18Speaker 1: and it totally worked for us. What am I doing wrong?
- 45:23Speaker 1: So we've you know what I mean, Like it's like
- 45:25Speaker 1: a bit of a backhander. Don't yeah, don't try and
- 45:28Speaker 1: one up another parent. I think anything backhanded to a
- 45:31Speaker 1: parent your borderline.
- 45:34Speaker 2: You should be locked up for it. I'm almost tempted.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Almost tempted.
- 45:38Speaker 4: Now.
- 45:38Speaker 2: Now look back when Marley are first was a great sleeper,
- 45:42Speaker 2: and there were timers, and I would be proud of
- 45:43Speaker 2: the fact that she's a great sleeper. That's so bad
- 45:46Speaker 2: just say your child sucks at sleeping.
- 45:48Speaker 1: So we have a mother's group, okay, but we have
- 45:52Speaker 1: edged some of these parents out because they just don't
- 45:54Speaker 1: forget them old did you say edge? I did. And
- 45:58Speaker 1: this was one reason we edged one of them is
- 46:00Speaker 1: because one of the mums was early doors, very braggy
- 46:06Speaker 1: about their kids sleeping through. Whether she was bragging or not,
- 46:10Speaker 1: she did after the confrontation I had with her because
- 46:13Speaker 1: it was going through a time when Oscar didn't sleep.
- 46:15Speaker 1: We're having troubles. You know, we were in and out
- 46:18Speaker 1: of hospitals, and you know, professionals were involved. It was
- 46:22Speaker 1: really really bad, and I've spoken about it on a podcast.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Go back, listen to all of them. Actually, while you're.
- 46:26Speaker 2: At it, I don't know what episode it is, so
- 46:28Speaker 2: just listen to all of them figure it out and
- 46:33Speaker 2: we you know.
- 46:34Speaker 1: One of the best things to do as parents is
- 46:36Speaker 1: collectively winge about your kids. Yes, it's a bonding moment,
- 46:40Speaker 1: it is bonding, but there's nothing more unbonding than one
- 46:44Speaker 1: of the parents being like, oh my timmy sleeps right
- 46:46Speaker 1: through slip, right through since twelve weeks and that's what happened.
- 46:50Speaker 1: And I was like, hey, you know, some of us
- 46:52Speaker 1: are in the thick of it, right And she was like,
- 46:54Speaker 1: I don't understand. You mean, I'm like, well, how do
- 46:55Speaker 1: you think? How do you think we feel with no sleep?
- 46:59Speaker 1: And then you do you want to butt in and
- 47:01Speaker 1: tell us that everyone in your house is sleeping? How
- 47:04Speaker 1: would you feel about that? And they're like, oh, I
- 47:06Speaker 1: was just saying. I was like, well, don't fucking say
- 47:08Speaker 1: don't fucking say it, because we're all on the edge.
- 47:10Speaker 1: You're content, be content somewhere else. Deleted from the group chat.
- 47:14Speaker 1: Love the passion from you today. Well, that's what It's
- 47:17Speaker 1: a horrible thing to say. There is one of the
- 47:20Speaker 1: worst things you can say, and it should be on
- 47:21Speaker 1: the top of the list is when, especially when someone says, oh,
- 47:26Speaker 1: how you know? You know our kids were struggling with
- 47:29Speaker 1: sleep and we're in the trenches. There's nothing worse than
- 47:32Speaker 1: you saying we're fine. You might just lie, just spit
- 47:37Speaker 1: in my face. Why I don't you just lie and
- 47:39Speaker 1: say it's fucking hard hey, because that is going to
- 47:43Speaker 1: give that parents some sort of right he is there
