  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, I can imagine like people be
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: like Venis was probably like what's going on like that?

• 1:53
  Speaker 3: so hard once so that had a Misscaracter.

  Speaker 1: scaring my wife. Nah, you're right, she's a human. It's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: not possible. Okay.

  Speaker 3: So I spooked to Macy this morning, but it was
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: a complete and utter accident.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: April had to take off to do a meeting.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: So I was with Macy this morning for an hour
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: before I had to come here, and I was like, okay,

  Speaker 2: How do you say ships leave my body?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, aggressively, I would say, with a big, big, strong push.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I did that, and then I went into the shower,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: but I left the door open because Macy was just
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in the lounge room. I just wanted her to be
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: able to access me if she needed anything, because that
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: is good parenting. Thank you, thank you, thank you, unless
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: she walks in and slips over and it's bad parenting.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But she was the toilet door open. She was like,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: what's that smell? Nah? Nah, she's used to it, she
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: used to it. How whole house things doesn't matter. And

  Speaker 3: And I like, come, I like turned the shower off
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and go out of the shower to like wave a
• 3:32

• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So Oscar gave, We agreed, I agreed, enforced. I enforced it.

  Speaker 3: In the moment Bloody Markets. When we were having a conversation,
• 10:02

• 10:04
  Speaker 3: so he's like, I want to talk about my favorite player.

  Speaker 3: We were like, okay, whatever, you know, take take the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: card because they're allowed to have visual aids and anyway,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So first day, drop him off and then we completely
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: forgot about it, like a I don't know. And then
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I think close to bedtime we were like, did you

• 10:34
  Speaker 3: You was like yeah, yeah, me and Kyle Lewis did
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: it ourselves, like together, And I was like, was it
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: a joint?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: No, just.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: I think they were just a bit scared to get
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: up alone.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: What did he practice it not with me?
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Didn't because I was like, you're good like, I was like,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you're good with these set these cards, and you're right
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Dural and was like, yeah, I'm just going to talk
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: about each and every player and like, to be honest,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: he can pick them all out right, And I'm like,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you know, you got to make it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Last like a minute. It's a long time. He was like,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: how long is a minute? I'm like, oh God. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: then I was like after.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: It was all said and done, and like he obviously
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: lost the trading cars because kids are kids and they
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: take him out of it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, don't take him out of the bag
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: other than it's for.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: The speech, and he was like, I don't know where they
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: are anyway. At the end of it, I was like,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: it's a bit isn't it a bit young to be
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: doing like an aural assign one hundred?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean I'm not a teacher, I think,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: but that's child abuse, dude, That's what I was thinking.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm questioning that the ethics of your school.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe they just want to give them some confidence, yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: but am I It's like, do you want your kid
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to swim?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to throw them in the fucking ocean,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: are you about I'm going to put him in the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: kidde pool first. Whereas with Oscar, it's like and his
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: students in his class.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I think they're probably like, maybe like the minute
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: was like that no longer than a minute. Maybe that
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: was I didn't really read the thing because I'm me,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I never read anything. Uh, maybe it was like you
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: can't go over a minute, and they were like, just
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: come in and show. Maybe it was like a show.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And te Maybe it was showing to we're talking this
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: an oral presentation, but on the thing is an oral
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: presentation and I was just showing.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That's how gross. But yeah, I was like, this is
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: way too young. But like we have been given homework
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: and stuff over the course of term wine and forgotten
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: to do pretty much all.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're at the homework stage and it's really it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: really hard. What was struggled with Nash is she's in
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the after school care until I quarter to five, when
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I pick her up, get home, she's tired, We have dinner,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: good in bed. It's there's no time for the homework.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: No, there is no time for not that age, No way,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I don't remember having homework at that age.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And after dinner, I'm like, do you want to read
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: this book?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: And she's like, ah, like I've had I've had a
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: heck of a day.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Fuck off.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Literally, So it's but the thing that's really the thing
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that I'm finding really difficult at the moment, very frustrating,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: is the fact that we talked about school uniforms, talked
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: about the cost that we're currently occurring, and she's just
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: losing jumper after jumper after jumper. It's a jumper massacret.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Oscar for some reason, refuses to wear his jumper. Like
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: those kids, it's not cool enough, he's not.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: There's always that kid who doesn't matter how cold it got,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they never wore a jumper. He's one of them. Yeah,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: he's one of those kids. He's not cold blooded, that's
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: for sure. He's definitely warm blooded, like he doesn't need it,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: but he's like a guy could in. He came from Melbourne,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: which made a lot of sense. He never wore a jumper.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Ian Yeah, Ian in my school. Oh, he was just
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: like the one kid he doesn't wear a jumper.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's an Oscar.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, because he's like if we're riding
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: the bike down it's cold, you gotta wear it on
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the bike.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: And he's like, God, I'm not asking you that old
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: world hunger.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Dude, You're blessed having a Chilotte doesn't wear a jumper.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: One less thing to lose. It's a miracle. Did you
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: get that hat? Bat? Which hat? Didn't she lose a hat?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: She's lost three hats. We keep gaining.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Hats, dude, Send and oscar this way, just like a
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: mate's just picking up Marley. Even she came home without
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: her jumper, but her cousin's jumper, which is like three
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: sizes too big. So I was like, call my sister.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, somehow Marley's got your daughter's jumper. And so
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: now I sent her to school two jumpers.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: She came back with three. She came back with none,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: and I was like, where are your jumpers? And she's like,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: what are you talking? You're like close and so close,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, how where do you put your jumpers
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: when you take them off? And she's like I don't know.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: And then and I was like, listen, listen, jumpers are
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: really expensive when you take it off, and I need
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you to put it into your bag. And then she
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: was like, would you just stop harassing me about the jumpers.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: This is bullying and she starts crying and I'm like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: oh ah, raw.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: It's funny when they did that, you know, the Easter
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: hat parade, but before that, they make the Easter hats.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: So did you guys do that at school?
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: So you had to provide what you wanted to decorate
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: it with, but they did at school. So the instructions
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: were from the school is buy the decorations, give them
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: to the kid. The kid brings them in and they
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: stay in there like pigeon hole until it's time. Okay,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Oscar no dramas. Lenny Mike's kid seemed to be a drama.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: They sent him to school with the decorations and every
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: day he'd come home with them again, and I'd be
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: at the top of the I'd be at the top
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: of the school path with Sana, Lenny's mom, and she'd
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: be like, I wonder if he's going to bring them back,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: And then you see all the kids running up and
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: then you just see the wool's bag. She's like, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: thought I told you to leave them there, and he's
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: like I did.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, why do you have them?
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: He's like, And then Oscar's like I told him to
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: leave him as well, And this went on for the
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: two weeks leading up to every single day. By the
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: time it got to like the last before the hat parade,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: they had to actually do it.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The Wooli's bag was so tactic.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It's just like it had literally gone like five thousand
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: miles up and down the school track into the covey hole,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: out of the coby hole, back home with him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: You just give up, wouldn't you, like, just don't like,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: don't give him to him anymore until like the last day, when.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's what ended up happening, and they
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: would just like, oh fuck it, just putting his bag
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: on the day of.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But it was it was two weeks.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I remember every time I was at the top and
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I'm like, here he comes so funny, like he's just
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: been shopping.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Hey, I've implemented something which I don't want to say
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: is great parenting, but so far it's working.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Wonders go on. We had an issue at home, the.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Fact that our kids love getting out of bed in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the middle of the night, always around midnight one o'clock,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: come into our bed. And lately we've had Lola, we've
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: had Marley, and we're just like, this is it's.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Getting too much? Like should be Laura bet she's pregnant.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I have a pregnant wife right now. And the kids
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: have no regard for that pregnancy. They couldn't give a ship.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And so what do we do here? We need to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: get these kids out of the bed. Can I say, please,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you don't have a very big bed. It's not a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: big bed. Get a king. It's a single. Get a king.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: We just stack it's just a double. I can't. We're
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: fitting there. Bro Also, that's an expensive mattress. Make it fit.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not made of money, an influence. I just influence
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: your way into one. It's not that easy. What so
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: we were, You'll have it. You'll have a new bed
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: by the end of this episode. So we have a rule.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Now the kids, it's not sponsored love going to Yochi
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: on a Friday after school.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Pick them up. Explain to me what yochi is.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Chi's just frozen yogurt with topics. You can get like Tella,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you get sprinkles, you get musk sticks.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you a more scientific question? Absolutely, is
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: frozen yogurt just yogurt that's frozen. I believe so yes, okay, yeah,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I believe. So we love it. People love it. My
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: mom Nana hates it. So I could buy a tubber
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: yogurt freeze it myself and that would you get the
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: same result.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I've got some yochi here if you'd like some. Okay, Well,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: kids love it. They're oubsessed and they it's like crack
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: for them and all the kids from school. They go
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: there on a Friday, so it's nice pick them up,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: walk down there. So I was like, listen here, your
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: little fucker is right before they go to sleep, isn't he.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, we're going to start on a Monday.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: If you want to get yochi on a Friday.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Do they know what Monday is? Kind of it's like
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: you just like I start today? Yeah? Like how many sleeps?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And I was like, you need to get five stars.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: We're going to do a little chart. Five sleeps, five sleeps.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: The only way for you to get a star is
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: by spending the whole night in your bed.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Love it?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: What do you?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Oh? You got to.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: People?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Bowler is killing it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Lola's smashing it. She's doing really well. She
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: really wants she is due for a Yochi. Smiley faced
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: is today Yochi day? Today is are you on the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: phone talking.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: About to Yochi about someone else?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: But now I have a proper mash. You have another
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: child that doesn't deserve.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Narlie's like, fuck the Yochi. Right during the week, I
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: would say to her. She would hop into bed and
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'd say, let me just remind you. You have the
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: option right now? Is it one in the morning. I'm like,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you can go back into your bed, and remember, if
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you do that, you'll get a star. The star will
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: go towards the yogi. If you stay in this bed,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you will get no stars. No stars for you this evening?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: What would you like it to be? And she's like,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: fuck the Yochi.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Just let me come bed for she's weighed up the options.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: She knows what she's going to get more value out of.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Smart Really, have you ever thought about this, please, going
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: from the yochi and saying, okay, if Yochi is not
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: what's going to get it for you have that we
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: just go all the way and go with ice cream
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: like gelato.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Dude, do you think.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: The yoach she lived tell you that the position of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the yochi is actually right next to and they prefer
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the and they prefer the yochi. Yochi is it's hot
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: That's it. I'm investing. It is hot property. Frozen yogurt.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: It's cyclical. Sorry, it's cyclical. What the is that?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Like the cycle of the moon, the cycle of the tides,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: or the menstrual cycles.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I have been through many cycles of frozen yogurt. I
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: remember five years ago they were all shutting down and
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: then it just comes back every now they're back. I
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: don't know what's happened. I don't know who's controlling these
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: frozen yogurt markets. But frozen yogurt is back.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Cyclical, cyclical. When do you think it's going to go again?
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: It's got I think two years in it and then
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: it's gone good. Three at the most, I think. But
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: now the issue is that Marley's only only had as
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: you can see, two successful nights.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Do they have to be in a road? Do you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: not start again? Well?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Because what do we do now? So I picked up
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: from school, Do I give her a yochi or or
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: do I say I'm sorry, you have to come with
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: me with Lola to get the Yochi, you don't get
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: any yo chi, which will result.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: In a tantrum, which will she'll end up getting it,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: but then she doesn't learn the lesson. Then all of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: a sudden, this is what I would call a classic conundrum. Okay,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Lola deserves it, obviously, what would I do? Dig really deep,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: tell me, tell me. I would give me an insight
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: into how ash parents. First of all, I get a
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: whiteboard for this, So I.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Didn't ask you to critique the system. I asked you
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: to just answer if Marley is deserved.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: It makes the system better because which will help in
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: this situation because you would have rubbed that off the
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: board and you can be like, look, you've got nun
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and you can start again.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: You can start fresh today, so next week. But now
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: you've got stickers involved on perishable paper.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: What I would do? So it's not sustainable. It's not sustainable.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. Thinking about the clients. Well you should be,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is Yochi? Thinking about the climate. I would say.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: You're in for a meltdown. That's one thing. If you
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: say no, and I would stick to your guns, because
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: if you stick to your guns, you can then go.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Right we're going to cross Marley out here. Put it down.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: The next one is this meant to be for the
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: third child that's not here yet, sleep in your own bed,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: and he's yelling at Laura's tummy.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Get it right back then you can. Oh god, I'm
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: a silly boy.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: You cross that out and you go right, Marley, you
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: didn't get Yochi today because of this, Lola does. But
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: you've got a chance next week to redeem yourself and
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: get that Yochi. And you're just gonna have to deal
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: with a meltdown because you can't fold on that because
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: it's not a white board.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Just it's a.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Classic Friday RBO. Just push her out in the range.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: You'll get over it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Why don't you do? Oh? Why don't you get there?
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Because I always.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Sneak the kids things so the other one doesn't know.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: So like, for example, if.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Because then if I sneak it it to Lola, then
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: she as soon as pick up Marlo, she'll be like, hey,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: guess what you missed out on?
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do, they do do that, but then I
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: just start calling them lies.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: He's flying, but it's more. Yeah, you're in for a meltdown.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: The Old Star system a tailor as old as time.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: So another option could be which I do this sometimes, Yes,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: is when like, for example, the kids are having dinner
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, look, if you eat all your dinner,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: there's a treat at the end. Right, similar concept, but
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I always say it's one in all in, So if
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Oscar eats all his dinner, no one gets anything until
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Macy's eaten all of hers.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: So they've got to like cheer each other on. Yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: teamwork makes the dream work.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: So if Lola wakes up and sees Marley walking out
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: with the room in the middle of the night, she'll
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: grab her and be like, get the get back to bed,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: and don't even think about it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But that couldn't It might not work with this situation
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: because you don't want to argument in the middle of
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: the night.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Right, as long as they argue in their room and
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: no room, that's fine. Yeah, because it's like they.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Want to if they want to go at each other
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: fight wake up mys hog tied at the corner of
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: the room.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I would there you go. Yeah, I think
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't be ideal if you had to walk into
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: that in the middle of the night. I would say
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: this this time, I would stand your ground.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, well I look forward to the kids having yo
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: chi tonight, both of them extra, give them extra. Laura
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: is pregnant. Yeah we all know this. Now it's out there.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: We know the gender.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: But we were talking about how I accidentally miss grandparents
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: and someone remember, refresh my memory. So I was at
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: a park with someone and I was like, is this
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: your Grandchild's like, no, this is my child.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Remember.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Can we just quickly for anyone who missed that episode?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: She was an older parent.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: She looked like an older parent, and ash.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Ash went up to this mother and then spoke to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: her in a way which I referred to her.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: As being the nana.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look what a disgusting I'm only human, it's
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: a bad way. But you asked me if I've accidentally
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: asked someone if they like accidentally assumed someone was pregnant.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Now I didn't do that, but I did something that
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not proud of. And I was quite a younger
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: man in this situation. So I was like early twenties.
• 25:39

  Speaker 3: And I haven't a lot because I blurs shit out
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: all the time, but this was a particularly bad one.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Do you know what.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: I spent the rest of the party groveling to her
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: as well, like some sort of sad sack.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I don't groveling over her feet.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I was like, I was like no, I just kept
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: saying things like you're not that big.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And I was like, can I get your drinks?
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: She's like, you're pregnant win this one. But I was,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: you know, do you think I've ever been around a
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: pregnant person that point?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I think when you look at a situation like this,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: you have to look at the intent, and I think,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: in a credit to you, you felt bad afterwards, there
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: was no intent to offend, and you know you sometimes
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: good people make bad decisions.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a good person.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my god, when we snip that up, just
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: please to keep that for later on.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's fine.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Can I ask you just on a side note, I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: know recently we spoke about the fact that I find
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Laura attractive where April was pregnant with Oscar and Macy.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: How did you view her? Um, I didn't expect you
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to think about it. I was trying to remember. I
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: don't remember. I think. I don't think I changed.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I was like, wow, walking in the room, I was like,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I just played this music over and over to you
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: walked do do do do do do do do No.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I don't think my feelings changed about it at all.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I would say that I was the same level of attracting.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: There wasn't a stage where I wasn't was like, you're unattractive.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Another question for you, did you go through a phase
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: whilst April was pregnant where she had a heightened sexual appetite.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say it was slightly high. I really thinking.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I remember. I remember there was.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: One Austray day long weekend April was very pregnant, go
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: on Oscar on Macy. I think it was Oscar. Yeah,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: because we wouldn't. We wouldn't have left Macy or Oscar behind.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: You go, Yeah, and it was. It was a good
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: trip because of the heightened libido of my life at
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Actually, I do recall that specifically that weekend, but I'm
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: not gonna site here, be like she couldn't keep off,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: especially when I'm saying things like wow, like explain to me.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I would say my that my feelings and
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: everything around that time were at the same.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. I don't know if it's a
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: real thing.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: People keep messaging me being like, has Laura had that
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: little that little window where she gets super frisky, And
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, no, I don't think we will
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: it happened, is it coming?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: But she's pregnant.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: It's like people just dming new pictures of them bellies.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Now after that, I wish kidding.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: What about I get like a little hairy snail. Have
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: you seen those? Like they're really pregnant ladies? And because
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: it's obviously I don't, I don't see that asht. What
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I see is someone said in a comment, and I
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: was like, that's perfect. It's like an artist stepping back
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: and admiring their work.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a builder, a builder looking back at
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: the Eiffel Tower. I mean, like I created that.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: You just step back, bring a level. Perfect. It's blum perfect,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: It's blum.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I felt like I needed to tell you that
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: because it helps me close the circle of my traumas
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: to be able to talk about how I fat chamed
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: a pregnant lady.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Accidentally, I thought, I thought when you told me there
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: was a scenario with someone who was pregnant, I thought
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: you were going to tell me that. You were like,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: when's the June And she's like when you No, thank God,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: have you done that?
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: No? Thank Heaven, I don't think so. So you are
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a good guy, deep deep, deep down. Mat Should we
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: go into parents, Yes, it's time for paraunt. I said
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: it like you did, parahant pah.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: We do have to apologize for the fact that we've
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: been teasing an intro jingle for this segment for a
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: very long time and it hasn't happened.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: It will. We keep running out of time. We had
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a long lunch to.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Have a long lunch, and we are we have no
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: one to blame but ourselves. But it'll happen next week,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: next week. Promise, next week happened. This one comes from Angela.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you Angela for writing in huge thanks, huge, huge
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: thank you. She says, it's very short, but punchy.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: What's the deal? What's the deal with school drop offs?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Absolute carnage. It's a nightmare.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: It is a nightmare. I feel like it's been a
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: nightmare for decades.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Also, we have to take a moment and just think
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: about all the parents who have kids in KINDI where
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: it's not just drop and go, it's like a drop
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: walk in.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: It's a debarcle handover.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, you know, I don't know you guys still
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: walking in No.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Only only this week because it was the first week
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: back and he was it was raining, just nothing really
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: aligned for him, and he was.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Just a bit how many car parks do you have
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: outside your school? Well, we don't. We've got like I'll
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: try and explain it as best as possible.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Is a this is a visual no, this is an
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: audio medium. Very good, thank you. So they've got car
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: parks like proper ones where it's a curb to read,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: a curb curb, and then they've got like a separate
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: section which is just like curb side drop off.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, they've got like the two tier.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the problem is at the top there of
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: the school is kindergarten as well, like separate like a
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: like a only about children whatever they call it, so
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: that you're competing with that too. Yeah, but the street
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: itself really narrow, and people try and go up and
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: turn around and come back, and it is chaos. Thankfully,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I ride the bike most of the time, but when
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: you drive, you've got to give yourself an extra twenty minute.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: There's got to be some level of exemption at my school.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know if yours is the same, but at
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: our school they always have pretty much i'd say like
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: three or four out of the five days of the
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: week for drop offs in the morning and pick up
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: They have parking inspectors, Oh hovering, yeah, we've got one,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: give me a break.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: It's a two minute it's a two minute it's a
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: two minute drop off usually yeah yeah yeah.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: But like also, if I saw.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: A parking expector being like, okay, let me just time
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: you right now, I'd be like.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, man, come on, don't get don't get
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: the hard working, tired, exhausted parents like we're doing our best,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: we're hanging on by a thread. They get the people
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: who are fucking down at the beach and parking there
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: for hours, and then like the real criminals. You know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: there should be there should be, it should be agreed.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: That's school to just I get if you're parking for
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: like hours and a no stopping zone, I get it,
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: you know, but come on, I.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Think like you're right, especially if it's like a drop
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: and go situation.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay, we'll give some room for.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: You to be able to actually get out of the car,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: walk them the thirty or forty feet or whatever it
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: might be so they're comfortable. But there would be, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: you know that, there would be parents at whatever school
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: it is, who's like enforcing be quicker and be those
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: people out there, and if you are that fucking person,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: pull your fucking head, would you like have a good
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: hard look at you, have a good hard stone, look
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: at yourself in the mirror and ask if you're fighting
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: the good fight or not, because you're not, Because you're
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: absolutely not.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And it's like people.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Who you're going to one day wake up and realize that,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: actually I don't want to attack him too much.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I lets get after him. You know who you are.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: You're going to have the guilt of knowing that you're
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: on the wrong side of history.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, totally, because like I feel like there it would
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: be there would be those parents that would write to
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the school going this number plate, this number plate, this
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: number plate. They they parked for five minutes instead of
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: two minutes. If that's you, you're the fucking worst person
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: that exists.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: We did have it my primary school. We did have
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: a system, which it wasn't ideal for like when you
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: had to take your child inside the school grounds, but
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: it was like there was like a holding pen almost
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: of cars where then they would get sent in one
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: by one to do like like stop kiss, store open, go, yeah, okay,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: And it was like explained. It was like a known
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: thing there was. There was a very thorough process, and
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: so you could funnel through a really high volume of.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Cars that is outstand Yeah, I think that.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I think the principle was he was very like methodical
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: and how he planned.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I try not to do a miile farving. It's like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: there's got to be something. There's got to be something.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like in general as a human population, we
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: neglect our parking situation a lot around schools, especially around schools,
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: but for example, what do you think, what do you
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: think I'm thinking. I'm thinking this is much bigger than
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: just schools. This is the bigger deal. For example, I
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: went to Movie World and you went to Movie World too?
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Did you have to park there?
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I did?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Correct, It is a debarcle like they never heard of
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: storied car parks up there.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: It's just like one big fucking field. You know, you're parking.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Literally, my shoes were muddy before I even got to
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: the to the park. I was like, well, I got
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: to turn around now and go home. It's stack them
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: up anyway. Do you think schools could stack them up too?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: What do you mean, like have like a like a
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: a like a mall situation?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, you couldn't do that. No, we got
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: to get moving.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Oh shit, sorry, okay, anyway, good rant, and there needs
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: to be a solution.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: This is from Anna, She says, Hey, sorry, hello Anna,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I apologize as a mother of three under three. God
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: send help, she says, absolutely.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: If we knew where you were, we said.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I want to share a pair rant that I'm particularly
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: passionate about seeing it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Sister, why the f just swear an? It's fine, We're
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Why the fuck aren't all parks fully fenced? Question? Mark?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Very good question.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: I just want to sit and have a coffee while
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: my kids are running Mark without fear of them running
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: under the road, are going for a swim because most
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: parks have ponds.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: While we're out at what do you mean.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Most parks have ponds in BONDI maybe we don't have
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: any ponds in our parks.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: You've got ponds they're fishing there. Well that's centennial par
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: fu shut up.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: While we're out at. All parks should have a coffee van.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like most do.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Hang on, you've got ponds and coffee vans. Well, what's next?
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Foot rubs? Why are you all about the feet today?
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: So I'm just trying to wrap my head around these
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: parks you're going to.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: No, I do you think you're picking out the parts?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Obviously you want to go somewhere that has the facilities
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: to cater to your knee. So you're going to a
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: park knowing that there's a cafe close by.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I guess so, yeah, an feet, I agree.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Fence in the parks.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a I think it should be mandatory,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Like you fence a pool, your fence around your house. Yeah,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: your fence everything. They fence them in at school. Now,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: might as well fence them into a park, make everything
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: into a prison.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Why not listen to questions? Yes, let's go.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: We've got a couple of here. Ash Okay, I got
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: the first one here from a Amanda. She asks, how
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: do you introduce your children to their new sibling?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Very good question, Very good.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: When we had Macy in the hospital that we had
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Macy in during because it was a planed c section,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: were there for a couple of days after the recovery
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: for April. But they have a class all about this,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: and they have an expert in there giving you tips.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Like what do they say, like get the blanket from
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: a newborn baby.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: No, it was like it was a lot around.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Not attention attention you want to say neglecting, because that's
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: that's criminal. It's more like filling the other child's cup.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: And one of the tips that we got was that
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: was a bit cheeky, was when you give your eldest
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: child a cuddle, don't be the first to let go. So,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: for example, I cuddle you, not to get your compliant
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: for the cuddle. There's consent, So can I have a cuddle? Yes,
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: and you hold on until they go. I'm like because
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: it's like then they go, But we do it and
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: my kids are so clingy. It's like like, why are
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: we going to let go for fuck say, especially with
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: April and oscar oscars, Like A was like, oh, I
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: can't give me a cuddle and then it's like okay,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: she might like release and he's like lashed on her
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: arm and he's like, well, this.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Is us for the rest of the day. Then was
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: so that was one of the tips that back We
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: didn't backfire. It just my kids are too clinging. I
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: never heard that. Thank you, there's a whole class. Thank you,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the whole class.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: So when you have your third just hug the other
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: ones for as long as you can.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: There he is, I'm precious. Next question.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Hopefully that answers your question, Amanda, Okay, I have this
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: is from anonymous Matt. What's the lamest injury you've ever got?
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Talking domestic?
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Look, you get to a certain age now that I'm
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: itching towards forty. There, I said it. You are, thank you.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: You are also in that bracket you are. And once
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: you get to this age, injuries all of a sudden,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: you know they're not reserved for situations where you're like,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: you know, having a car crash that's.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Falling off the stuff, you know, all the cool stuff
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: that I'll kill you. It becomes so much easier to
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: attain an injury. I've just gotten over one recently. I
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: mean the big one, you know, was like you sleep
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: in a weird position, you wake up and you can't
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: move your neck. But I had a scenario where I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: went for a swim in the ocean, and as I
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: sometimes like to do, I give a click.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Because you've got hair of hair, yeah, so I just
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: you're trying to be hot.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Never And so I got out of the water and
• 42:47
